Just a reminder to all: all LTers love seeing a fellow LTer achieve that longed-for BFP, and we all find hope in one of our own having success in this difficult journey. But please remember that there are those who cycled with you who may not have received good news at the end of their cycle. Please do not post baby/child/pg tickers or pg related signatures (eg blinking BFP icons) etc in this forum out of respect for them.
As it's easy to forget to remove your ticker, please be advised that we will remove it for you if it's posted in here. Just easier, is all.
Sorry for no personals, but its late as usual!! Been at work at my casual job all day and had a girlfriend over tonight who has just started needles in her first IVF cycle today. She is using a donor as she is on this journey without a partner. I am trying to be her support person as I just can't imagine doing this without DH's support.
My appointment at the FS yesterday went relatively well. I saw photos of my insides...quite freaky really!! I had a bit more endo than I had originally thought. Was on 1 of my ovaries, my uterus and my bladder. Had originally discussed with my FS and hoped for a fully drug controlled cycle so that I could TF on around the 18th August. I can't work after a TF so have to try to fit TFer's in around my roster...very tricky. But after having an US done yesterday, FS saw my lining was quite thick (even after a D&C 12 days ago) and he thinks AF will come soon. This is going to mess everything up.
AND, I have to have an US on day 2 of my cycle and I'm going OS for work next Wed for a week. So now I really hope AF doesn't come. Hopefully she won't and I'll start provera on 31st July so that I can do my TF as scheduled....SO CONFUSING!! Poor FS was scratching his head trying to work out what to do. He ended up giving me his personal email address and told me to email him if AF arives and he will work out what to do. Was amazed how much he cares.
DH is home tomorrow and I'm going to talk to him about taking 6 months leave from my job that takes me OS all the time and just working my casual job at home. I just think it would make this all so much easier.
I MUST go to bed. I'm off to work again tomorrow.
Will catch uo tomorrow with you all,
Hugs Bel
Ps..Sorry for the me me me post but wanted to update you all and see if you had any ideas/suggestions to help me!!
Bel your FS sounds amazing mine kept me on the pill for an extra week this cycle but that will only work if you are on the pill hope that helps What do you do for work that takes you OS?
Bel- it's great your FS cares so much. Less travel might be good...hope talks with DH go well.
as for me...anxious, waiting and a bit grouchy and tense with people who appear to not understand this at all and say dumb stuff. I whinged in the TWW thread, so will leave it at that for now. still hopeful though of course.
Sorry I've been MIA, things have been very hectic.
Wow it's taken me ages to catch up on all that's been going on and it seems like things are going well for most of you anyways!
Tiggerlinda: I am so so rapt for you, two embies on board, how exciting, such great news. I can't wait for you to post news of your twins!! That would be sooo cool. Good luck with the TWW, I was terrible through it but there's a surprise at the end that is worth waiting for. Sending you loads of Pink or blue or both????
Possums: Not long now, hang in there, any signs?? I'm for you and your little sticky one xoxox
Miss K: I'd been reading through the posts and you were missing so I thought it mus tbe bad OHSS. I hope you mend real soon and that there is a bfp just around the corner for you, you deserve it with all you are going through. I hope things start to look up for you and you can go home to be with DF soon. Thinking of you.
AngelBabies: Where are you? I miss your crazy sense of humour! What's hapening with you?
JBM: How frustrating for you. Sometimes things are out of our control but I know what you mean about being impatient and wanting to control everything. I hope your body gets itself right for Sept FET, you would have some nice news for everyone by Christmas, wouldn't that be lovely. Everything happens for a reason. Keep breathing and keep smiling.
Paula: Fantastic follie numbers and sizes, such good news! Good luck for EPU tomorrow, hoping for lots of good eggies. I was reading some of you older posts, don't stress about your age, everyone is different and we don't all have fully functional girly bits so it's about each individual persons journey. Wishing you all the best, I'll be checking in!
Janie: I hope the cramp was for all the right reasons too! If it's anything to go by, I had cramps through the two week wait with a bfp at the end. I was sure it wasn't going to be but there was definitely something going on in there. Count down til 23rd. Ooh so exciting.
Meredith: Hoping that TWW is flying by!
GIRLS: I've got a really good feeling about everything going on in here
FOR EVERYONE
AFM: 6w3d pregnant and feeling exhausted. I had an ectopic scare, my first time in an ambulance very scary but that got ruled out. BT each week show bhcg is rising nicely. Had another BT this morning so waiting on those results. Scan booked for 23rd July hope to see a heartbeat. Even though I got the positive result, there are a whole new set of worrys on my mind.
Much love to all, cannot wait to hear more good news.
Morning ladies - and what a wonderful day it is! I tell you, I think this acupuncture thing has just made me so calm, relaxed and happy that it is ridiculous!
TL - great to here about your 2 embies and welcome to the TWW! This is going to be a very POSITIVE month, I can feel it.
Possums - good to hear that you are feeling a little calmer today. Just remember that you have a high level of hormones racing round in your body after a stim cycle, so that can explain where some of the "madness" comes from Glad to hear you are doing well and bring on the 3 sleep count down!
BecD - welcome back and GL with your FET in August.
Janet - My sister and my nephew are both doing well. My nephew continues to amaze us every day. He is so tiny, but such a little fighter. He is starting to look a bit more "real" and is very cute. He has his good days and his bad, which is to be expected, but he is a determined little man and is making his parents very proud of him.
NicoleS - Welcome back. I'm sorry that last cycle wasn't the one for you, but here's lots of to you for your next cycle.
Paula - that is great news about Wednesday? So when would your transfer be? Can't wait to see you in the TWW.
Goodness.... You work for a few days and you miss the swap over to the new thread and wonder why you dont get emails about new posts.... I thought you had all gone quiet.....
I m not going to try and go back and catch up, I ll just go from here.....
Hi all, just posted in the TWW but wanted to post in this thread to, that sadly I got a BFN today.
in August or Sept we'll do a FET with our one little frostie.
we're pretty sad and dissapointed.
all the best to all of you.
Possums - I am so sorry for you sweetheart. All my love and comfort is coming your way right now - there are no words, but know me (and all the other beautiful women here) are hugging you across space.
A second post - that last one was just for Possums.
I had my second scan and blood test today and they can only find six follicles in total, two of which are getting there, the other four are smaller. I don't understand. When I had a scan before all this to see if there were any issues up there I had fifteen follicles. Shouldn't the FSH make more follicles, not less?
Thanks Kate for your kind words. Like you I cry sometimes when I see mum's pushing little ones in prams. (and especially today!)
Sorry things aren't progressing how they should be with your follicles. It can be so frustrating when our bodies don't react they way they should.
