Seph and Taureen - so sorry you've had to go through that stuff, some people are just so insensitive. Those people don't sound very nice. You poor things x.
Good luck with it all
Hi to everyone else and I hope you are all doing well.
GL on the medications etc and for those in TWW.
AFM - on Puregon injections and Synarel still and have BT and U/S next Thurs/Fri to determine when EPU will be. Im getting quite excited but a little nervous also. We have little furbabies at home too which is fun - our two dogs have had a litter of 5 pure-bred Kelpies.
Emerald Star - thanks for your wishes. Your eggs sound ok to me. GL on Monday, will be thinking of you x
B2B - sorry your cyle was cancelled I hope this new plan they have works out, i really do.
Jasminstar - sorry about your issues with Synarel - its not very nice stuff. I hope things are sorted ASAP and we can continue on the journey together. All the very best x
I know Ive missed people - sorry, its hard to write heaps of personals when you're at work.
Best wishes to all.
Jasminstar - I know how you feel about synarel. On my first IVF cycle and the down reg blood test, my levels were low enough to start FSH injections, and it was quite a low level (below 50 I think) so the nurse said the synarel must have been working really well. So I started the FSH injections and got to two days before my EPU date when they did another blood test to check hormone levels. They called me with the bad news that based on my hormone levels, I'd already started ovulating early. So my cycle was cancelled two days before EPU. The explanation was that obviously my body didn't respond to synarel and it didn't do what it was suppose to do (ie. suppress ovulation). I was shattered as you can imagine. Not long after that, I ended up getting a blood test on day 1 of my next cycle, and my E2 levels were really low again. So I think that for the cycle previously when they did my down reg blood test and I had a really low E2 level, that it was because of my body's own natural levels. And for all I know, synarel didn't work from the start, but I had to get the point I did (ie. cancelled cycle because of early ovulation) for them to realise this. They are such hard lessons that we have to learn going through IVF. I really wish it was easier for us all. I hope the next week goes well and you can get a start on your FSH injections soon.
Seph - OMG, I can't believe that Medicare woman. People are so insensitive sometimes. A couple of times when I've gone to the chemist to buy Elevit, ladies will come up and ask if I need assistance or need advice on taking Elevit. Then they ask when I'm due!!! It really bugs me that I then have to say that I'm not pregnant yet. It's so none of their business.
Krikkit - my FS is the same re back-to-back cycles. For stim cycles, they won't do them back-to-back and they say the same reason as yours does - that you won't get as good a response. As hard as it is, it's probably just best to wait out a natural cycle in between stim cycles (that's where I am now - natural cycle). I definitely plan on finding out about back-to-back cycles if they're FET's, or if it's a FET to a stim. Good luck with everything.
Wishes xoxo

Okay, I thought maybe I was over-reacting, but now that I've read your replies I realized that I'm not. So I decided to make an online complaint. I just said that the clerk made an assumption and that her comment upset me. I suggested she be more tactful in the future.
I'll let you know when they respond. Thanks girls, I feel a bit better.
good move Seph......I get annoyed with people who say the incorrect thing and are never actually told that they may be offensive! I had a little word with my grandmother the other day and told her that telling me that for her to fall preganant all that my grandfather had to do was hang his pants up behind the door, was just something that I didn't need to hear!!!!
Hi everyone,
Hope you are all doing well.
Seph- I think you have done the right thing, whatever comes out of this atleast I hope she will be careful not to hurt anybody's feelings in the future.
Mitf-Hope u r okay !
Loops12-Glad you have a whole(fur) family to cheer you up.GL with the injections
GL to all the rest of you whatever stage of TTC you are in.
AFM-AF arrived yesterday, today I have been booked to have US and the dreaded Dilapan insertion, normally this is done on the third or fourth day of the cycle to reduce discomfort but unfortunately there is nobody at the clinic to do this over the weekend and hence I have no option but to have it today.
Seph - you would think that dealing with people who are obviously claiming for bills for PERSONAL medical expenses, part of the staff's training should be to be more tactful (ie butt out of peoples' personal business and make no comment at all) But I suppose, you can't always teach people tact. I am sorry that you had to deal with such a moron at such a nerve-wracking time in your cycle.
One thing that I have learned from this whole process is that it is either a really taboo subject and people, even close friends get really uncomfortable talking about it, or they go the polar opposite and want to tell you every negative story re TTC that they have ever heard (as in your case Taurean78)
Although I haven?t had any too bad encounters, I was upset that SIL asked how it was going last week and I told her I had EPU and ET coming up and the response was ?Oh that?s nice? ? like I was going for a bl#$dy pedicure or something. Have spoken to her several times since and she has not asked once how it all went, so I didn?t bring it up.
Krikkit ? glad to hear that you will have one less issue to worry about for your next cycle. Good luck on Tuesday
Loops12 ? Hope you are travelling well on your stims. I?m sure all your furbabies are going to help keep you a little pre-occupied until your tests next week
B2B ? Your Grandmother sounds like a character, but in regard to Grandparents, that would be way TMI at the best of times, let alone when you?re TTC and feeling a bit vulnerable
Vira ? Thinking of you today (tonight) for your appointment. I hope all goes well for you. Please excuse my ignorance, but what is the Dilapan?
Jasminstar ? How did you go today? Have they booked in your EPU?
Hi Mrs S ?
Melissal ? Good luck for your cycle It is a hard call to make regarding your work and I hope that it does not stress you out too much. Have you spoken to your FS in regard to this? Perhaps they have an alternative place that they can test at.
Daisie ? how are you travelling?
Phew, sorry for the long post...If I have missed any personals, I apologise.
AFM ? on day 6 of the dreaded 2WW (18 days actually). Only 12 days to go till BT (hopefully). Have had a tiny amount of spotting and a fair bit of cramping, but just hoping for the best and trying to keep my mind occupied.
to you all
