BFN for me today :(
Really sorry Bunnyfeet :hug:
Bunnyfeet...big hugs for you xx
So sorry Bunnyfeet - that made me sad reading it. Sending you big hug.
Treenie - sorry you feel you need to give up. As Juniper said we are always here for you.
Thanks girls. The support helps. My DH is away on fifo roster so I'm glad to have support on here x
Hugs to you Bunnyfeet and myturn. :grouphug:
Bunnyfeet, I'm so sorry hun :hug:
Myturn, boo to CD1 hun, glad the weight is coming off. You are not getting old!! Look at moi, that's getting old :(
Treenie, so sorry to hear that hun :hug: It must be such a hard decision to call it quits. Big hugs lovely :hug:
Bestrong, I take 600 mg daily. AMH refers to your ovarian reserve, it's basically an indication of how many eggies are in there.
Thank you so much Nothing2lose, I don't know what I am doing at the moment and I will have all my test done and go back to him again to see how he says. The problem with asking a second apinion, the doctor is more reserved. I still have one frozen embryo in Monash IVF (it is grade C+, which I don't have much confident for the quality of it). I still have one appiontment with the other doctor in Monash IVF, I will see how I go.
Bunnyfeet, Myturn- I feel really sorry for both of you, big hugs. Myturn, good luck for this FET cycle and I am waiting to hear good news from you.
Miss.B thank you, I start taking 600mg CoQ10 from today, it is expensive, isn't it? One bottle 150mg for 30caps, it is about $30.I am going to ask my nurse about AMH because I don't know what it is mine AMH level.
Juniper, I tried Acup. and TCM for about 6 months, I went every week. For those two cycles, I did have more eggs when I reviewed all my cycles. Now I am still taking some TCM, but I did not go to acup. It costs a lot of money and time to go every week. May I ask how often do you go to acupuncture?
Bestrong, interestingly enough, my FS says that most of the embryos that give a positive pg tests he's seen are grade B & C embryos, so C isn't that bad hun. With the CoQ10 tablets hun, I buy the Healthy Care brand, there is 200 caps at 50 mg. It means I have to take 12 tablets a day (I take 6 in the morning and 6 at night) but they are very small. It works out 10,000 mg per container, if you buy the 30 caps at 150 mg, it's only 4,500. Also, I wait till mine are on special, I can get them for around $20, usually they are around $39. I know you can buy some really potent stuff (ask n2l) but mine is just off the pharmacy shelf...Hope that helps :)

Bestrong, I go weekly, but I usually skip any that fall within AF (due to AF being so heavy) and I sometimes go for an extra treatment on O day.
Miss.B, my SIL is a naturopath and I had an interesting chat with her about CoQ10. She said it can be derived from a lot of different sources and there are some you would never want to take, so recommended avoiding the cheaper ones. She recommended one brand (Thompsons), but I had some issues finding a distributor. I've been taking the Blackmores instead because my MIL (a pharmacy assistant) said they were one of the few brands to have very little pulled from the shelves when that vitamin scandal hit some years back. Chemist Warehouse has them on special for $15 (30 x 150mg) every 2-3 months (at that price now) and $21 the rest of the time (RRP is around $30, I think). I just order them online when they're on special. I've dropped back to 300mg daily lately, but was taking 600mg for about 6 months.
Grrr.. Sorry double post! Yep Beau, my iPhone is doing it too!!
Bunny & MyTurn- So sorry you girls didn't get good news over the weekend.. It's not fair! I have everything tightly crossed that your next FET's are 'the one'.. Hang in there Xx
Treenie- I don't really know you but I'm so sorry you are moving on from TTC without the little bubba you wanted so bad! I've said it a 100 times before but life is just so unfair sometimes. Massive hugs honey and I hope you find peace in moving on Xx
MissB- When is the witch expected to arrive? I bet you are counting down the days till you can start your FET Xx
Juniper- How are you going hun? Xx
Beau- How are you going in the TWW? Xx
Beestrong- Like Miss B said I wouldn't be giving up on that grade C embryo just yet... You just never know if might be 'the one' Xx
Hi to everyone else and I hope your all traveling along ok Xx
AFM- Getting used to my Gonal injections again.. Although this cycle I am bruising really badly! I never bruise easy so don't know what is going on!! Starting to get a little anxious cause I don't really 'feel' as though anything is happening. I'm not getting even mild discomfort and I was really hoping that by now I could feel my ovaries doing something. I'm wondering if my dose of Gonal is not high enough....
Juniper, you're scaring me! lol. I didn't know there was any difference in chemist brands. Will check with my FS.
Jasmine, with my last cycle I didn't feel much at all in terms of any discomfort or feeling anything was happening 'in there'. I still ended up with heaps of follies, just not all contained eggies and not all were mature (due to my age). So even though you might not think anything is happening, there very well might be. Can you ring the FS if you're concerned?
Juniper, you're scaring me! lol. I didn't know there was any difference in chemist brands. Will check with my FS. Thanks for telling me though hun, really appreciate it :)

Morning ladies.
Miss B - very interesting what your fs clinic said about B & C embryos. Maybe that's my problem mine are all A embryos.
Jasmine - what dosage of gonal-f have they got you on? I was going to be on 25mg for an iui cycle that we ended up not being able to do.
I'm feeling ok. Tried to rest over the weekend. Have had some niggles but I did last cycle too. My pregnyl shot on sat really hurt.
Juniper can you put me back on waiting for FET list thanks.
Beau oh I hate those trigger shots too!
Beau- I am on 50iu of Gonal F. Still not feeling anything but surely it's got to be doing something!! Ouch to your Pregnyl shot. When is your BT honey... Really really hope this cycle works!
Bunny- Are you going straight to a FET or having a month off? What protocol will you be on?
MissB- I thought about calling the clinic but they won't really be able to tell anything till my scan on Wednesday so prob not much point. I'm just praying it's doing something... If not hopefully they can just increase my dose in Wednesday.
AFM- Plodding along. Trying to relax but I am dying for my scan on Wednesday! Praying so hard that my ovaries are actually doing something and that my lining is finally thickening up :pray:

Jasmine I'm seeing my fs on Thursday and just waiting for AF to arrive since I stopped all meds on Saturday. Hopefully if all is ok with my lining etc I'm hoping to go straight to FET. Fingers crossed for your lining on Wednesday x
Juniper thanks for changing me on list. Not sure what my cd is until AF arrives :confused:
Bunnyfeet - gl for Thursday. My clinic doesn't allow an fet straight after stim cycle - need to take a cycle off. Hopefully yours is different.
Oh really? Yeh I've never done one so all new to me. What does everyone recommend anyhow? Some say you have better chance doing it straight away as your body is in the 'zone' and others say to wait a while?
Bunny- GL for Thursday honey! My clinic does FET's straight after a full ivf cycle but I think it can vary a lot from clinic to clinic.

Hi ladies! Quick question for anyone who has had a lap done, is it safe to use a heat pack for cramping? I had a lap almost 5 weeks ago and pretty sure I am going to start my period as I have quite bad cramping in my pelvis and back. I want so relief!! :(
I was told I could use heat pack straight away. I use them every af for first 2 days.
Kel, I reckon it will be okay after 5 weeks xox
hope it eases up soon x
Kel, there should be no problem with using a heatpack during AF. Pre-lap and the first few AFs after, that was the only thing that gave me any sort of relief during AF.
Thanks ladies!! I just hope AF isn't as heavy as it was after the last lap it went for 8 days and it was super heavy the whole time :(. Juniper, I was only spotting today and proper flow didn't start until about 6pm will I count today as CD1 or wait until tomorrow?
Kel, that's up to you. I, personally, would count tomorrow as CD1, but that's just me. You can choose whatever cut-off you like. I know some women call it CD1 as long as it starts before midnight and some even call it CD1 if it's after midnight but before they've gone to bed. My FS requires you to wake up with AF for it to be CD1, but the previous one had a 8am cut-off and the one before had a 4pm cut-off. I tend to use 5pm as a cut-off, but it depends on the flow... This cycle I had some light bleeding on the Tuesday night, then spotted all day Wednesday before AF started properly at 5:30pm, so I called Thursday CD1. In terms of estimating when AF was going to end, I knew I wasn't going to count Wednesday when I did my mental arithmetic, so it made sense to not call it CD1...
My clinic classes it as cd1 if AF arrives in the morning, otherwise its cd0.... But prior to IVF I just did it according to the day it started no matter what time of day it was.
Thanks for both of you Miss.B & Juniper, I had CoQ10 in BioActivePlus brand. Next time I will try thompsons brand as I heard it is a good brand and I saw some health food store selling some products in this brand.
Miss.B&Jasmine, I am trying to keep postive on my grade C embryo, but I had tiwce that grade C embryo is not growing to day 5. Anyway, the grade B embryo failed to go to day 5 last time too.
Beau - My doctor said only 5% embryos are grade A, If all all your embryos are grade A on day 5, that is very good because you are still young. I think it is better to tell the quality on day 5 rather than on day 3. Get BFP this time
Jasmine, don't worry, one cycle I didn't feel anything at all, I still have 7 eggs collected.
Thanks Juniper and myturn, I have my post op appointment today with my FS so I will ask him but I am pretty sure I will class today as CD1. I am nervous and excited at the same time about doing a natural cycle! Those that use OPK'S what day do you start testing?
Good luck today Jasmine - hoping for some good news later from you Hun!
Kel - as the girls said every clinic is different mine is cd1 if full on bleeding before lunch.
GL today Jasmine and Kel :)
CD1 for me today please Juniper, the witch has arrived:banghead:
Bunny- At least with the arrival of the witch you can move forward and concentrate on a new cycle.
Kel- Good luck at your appointment today. My clinic classes CD1 as medium flow before 12 midday.
Thanks all for sending loads of good luck my way... Fingers crossed today's appointment goes well! Haven't had any bleeding at all since the witch left (first time in a very long time that I haven't had constant spotting / bleeding during a cycle) so I'm praying that my lining will be looking a lot better today!! Will BBL with an update after my scan x
Jasmine, GL with your scan today sweetie!! I hope your lining is behaving itself :) My AF is due around day 28, but I already have a wee bit of spotting (sorry for TMI but had some pink discharge after DTD this morning) so I think it will come this week. I have to get myself organised asap with the pessaries, I won't need them for about 2 weeks when I have my FET but I have to shop around for the best prices.
Bunnyfeet, boo to AF but at least you can get the ball rolling for a FET soon. Hang in there!
Kel, GL today hun x
Hi to everyone else, just popping in briefly, I'm really supposed to be cleaning my house today :o Will catch up with everyone later :)

If you would like to be added to The List or have your details amended, please just ask (and provide the applicable details).
Kel, the earliest I have ever O'd is CD13, so I start OPKs CD10. I think you're actually meant to start 5 days before your earliest O (ie I should start CD8), but I O late some cycles and get frustrated using 20 OPKs...
