Kate, I'm sorry to hear that your cycle has been cancelled.
I went to counselling on Monday and found it comforting
Take care of yourself and I hope your FS can shed some light on your results :hug:

Kate :hug: sweetie you will get some answers over the next few days I hope
Wow, everyone has been so busy in here, been away from the computer for a few weeks and can't keep up!
TL, know how hard it can be with DH away, my father in law passed away after a long illness just after we got the BFN, and DH is down in Vic now packing up the house - tough trip... but sometimes i wonder if life is just telling us to slow down and smell the roses.. good luck in the rest of the OWW
Janie, so happy to hear your BFP, we all need some :pink-babydust: around here! keep on looking after that little one so you have a beautiful bundle of joy at the end
paula, totally understand your sadness and frustration, after my ET they cultured the other 3 embies to day 5 but none made it
AFM - back on the rollercoaster, into my second week of stim cycle and seeing FS on friday. had some killer headaches from the synarel, trying to drink more but its so hard to keep it going. Finding that i'm much more of a wuss with injections this time round, keep leaving track marks and bruises behind so i'm glad its winter to hide them!
big :hug: to everyone
will see the Brissy girls at the meetup, yay!
Thanks girls! You all do brighten my day - and I'm feeling more positive tonight thanks mainly to my darling hubby (he didn't even bat an eyelid when I threw a box of tissues across the room!! :redface:)
Anyways - I just can't help smiling at Janie's news! It is so awesome and so much :pink-babydust: heading that way!
And Meredith - hope you're going well too!
Are there any of you down here in freezing Adelaide? It could be great to catch up for a coffee like the Brissy girls are doing perhaps. :dance:
Congrats Janie and Venus :clap:
Hopefully your luck would rub onto the rest of us.
Kate, I so sorry... cancelled cycle can be very heart breaking. When I had a cancelled FET cycle I was very angry cos it's like you haven't started the race and your out.. but then I still know I don't have to be tormented by the 2 WW and just have to go through the grieving process and then pick myself up and start again... lots of hugs from us all:hug::hug::hug:
Kahlan
Kate - so, so sorry about your cycle being cancelled. I can well understand your devestation. Did your nurse shed any light? When do you talk with FS again?
Nicole - hope FS calls you very soon. Its always better to have a plan in place- help have a goal to focus on
Janie - congrats again. May we stick out the next 8mths together!
TL - you will hopefully join us next week. Symptoms all sound good!
AFM - well BT today confirmed my BFP! HCG at 1000 (14dpo) so happy with that although still doesn't fill me with huge confidence. My levels have been good before and not led to live baby. However, i am making a pact with myself to stay positive. I do feel very blessed to have gotten a BFP.
I truly hope that many more come out of this thread in the coming weeks.
lotsa :bluedust::pink-babydust: dis july...:hooray:

Janie - :happyforyou:
kate - :hug:

Kate - Your are welcome and I am thinking of you :hug:
Me 4 sleeps to go tugging sympotoms still there and a dull ache as well hope my baby tigger is safe and ok :pray:
Kate- so sorry your cycle has been cancelled. It sure is an up and down road and I can relate to all the emotions you expressed! I have had counselling in the past and it is helpful to talk.

Hiya Girls
Well i went to see FS on monday and im proud to say he called me an enigma :p, he has never seen someone's eostrogen levels drop on an IVF cycle so he's putting me on synarel and gonal-f. Started on provera again but 80mg which has made me feel quite ill this time it was only 20mg last time. Will finish in 2 days and just wait for AF to arrive to start over.
So happy to see that July has been a good month for some of you, for those of us who didnt have as much luck big hugs :hug: but remember this time as never ending as it may seem right now is really only a small part of our life and look at the joy it can bring. Stay positive. Talk soon
Bee (24) DH(30)

Possums :hug: enjoy your break
Me: 3 sleeps to go to BT feeling quitely ok but still checking for AF and feeling every twinge and wondering what was that? I have passed my 10 day post transfer mark which I have not made before.
tl, here's hopeing :pray: that all those signs are the right ones, keep the little one safe in there!
meridth, congrats on the bfp, must be such a relief to at least get over that little hurdle!
AFM, FS is happy with everything so EPU on Tues and et on friday! yahoo!! almost skipped out of there today, I can't believe its all happening again so quick :dance: 10 follies looking good so cross ya fingers for me that there's a healthy one and a few frosties. Gonna follow all your advice and do some acupuncture, the soonest I could get in is this tues night so now gotta book the before and after appts
:bluedust::pink-babydust: to everyone, have a great weekend!
Hi everyone - thanks for all your support over the past few days.
Hope you're all going well!
Just wanted to touch base with how you have all gone with work whilst on IVF. Last week when we were told our cycle would be cancelled I was pretty devastated as we weren't expecting that and I had two days off work as I was crying a lot. When I went back to work my boss called a meeting with me and my immediate supervisor and has asked for my doctor to provide a report on the potential effects of IVF and (as I also have major depression which is well under control) how it might affect that. Initially I was okay about it, but now I am thinking more why do they need a report? What happened this week was unexpected and I reacted as I think most people would - I know that we may get BFN in the future and I am prepared for that (at least as much as I can be) - but there was no way I could have been prepared for what happened this week.
So - why does my boss want a report? What would be the purpose of it? Do I have to provide it??? I do believe my boss has good intentions, but I kind of feel its a bit of an invasion of privacy - and there is no reason to believe IVF will impact on my depression (I hate it when people think any emotional reaction I have must be depression, when in reality it is just a normal emotion that anyone would have).
Wow! That's a long post!!! Anyway - if anyone else has experienced something similiar I would love to know what you did/would recommend etc. And if you are a manager it would be interesting to know what you might do as a boss.
Wow Kate I don't know what type of work you do but I'd be saying the same thing as you if my boss interfered... People have all sorts of personal issues going on, and its not up to your work to sort it out for you. The most caring thing that your boss should be doing is making sure you have enough time out to sort yourself out, and maybe you have access to councilling or similar though work that you can use as well. Sometimes i think work believes they control us!
Hey, don't take on their stress either, its a rocky enough road without well meaning help from your boss to add to how you're feeling. Trust yourself. Big :hug: to you tonight, sounds like you need a few drinks to chill out!
I'm struggling a bit myself with whether to tell my immediate boss anything at all about what i'm going through... its not that i don't trust him, more that i'm worried that he will change his attitude towards me when he knows I'm planning a family. Anyone solved that dilemma, would love to hear about it!
Hey Abbie - thanks for the reply! :)
It's not easy for us hey! Who do you tell, who don't you tell, what will they think/do etc because of what has or may happen....I'm heading off to counselling with our IVF provider next Friday so I think I will talk to them about it as well.
I know there are anti discrimination laws and everything - and they are great - but in reality it is very hard to prove if you have been discriminated against (not that in a million years I think my workplace would - they are pretty good).
I think its :hug:s all round tonight!
Hi kate
So sorry to hear your work is being so demanding, only 1o days ago my cycle was cancelled on day 12 because my follicles were not growing and my hormones were dropping. I was upset and rang hubby crying but he said go to work so your not sitting home thinking about it and im glad i did. That day i saw a number of patients very sick with cancer and thought well at least i have my health.
As for your work pullling you in and wanting a doctors report i find that really unreasonable all that should matter to them is that you can do your job. All i can say is im glad i have an understanding boss. Goodluck to you and i hope it all gets better for you..sending you all my hugs.
Bee (24) DH(30):hug:
bee: hope the change to gonal f and synarel works, that is what i was on and i didn't have any probs.good luck
abbie: hope epu goes well tue. fingers crossed
kate:hope you get some answers. bit personal what your boss is asking but i don't know as wasnt working when i did cycle. hope it goes well.
i think you handled it the same as anyone would have and i could not have worked thru all that.
afm: tired and busy. trying to be relaxed and calm and counting down to my frostie tfer. yeah.
