[Miss K]

Hey Ladies,
Thankyou for the welcome and the hints hehe! I was going well but today I had to try twice and it HURT really bad hehe I am such a wuss!! I am worried I have no side effects today was my 3rd shot has anyone not had side effects on these needles and still had success???

Izzylou - I hate it when you need AF to come she comes and when you don't want her to come she comes maybe we should want her to come so then she doesn't hehehe!!!

Tiggerlinda - I hope you get better soon hunny! that you can give your hubby a birthday BFP!!!

Saph - You poor thing hunny!!! I just wish you all the best with everything and I will be that your first IUI is your last you will need to do xx

Tigergal - I am sending you truck loads of that you get your BFP this cycle!!!

Janie - I hope you have a lovely thick lining!!

Hello everyone else

[MeredithD]

HI ladies, Haven't been in for few days due to working etc and has taken me ages to catch up!

JBM - sounds like a nasty gastro. Hope you are on the mend!

Angelbabies - you crack me up! Hope some of those swimmers made it to the eggie and not coughing on each other!

Tiggerlinda - Hope you are felling bit better and things are on track to start new cycle very soon

Tigergal - stick little emby,stick,stick !! How did the others go for freezing?

BecD - glad you are doing better. Hope things are much better for your FET cycle

Janie - darn stupid bodies, not doing what we want!! Glad you get to start on anew cycle so soon. It does help take the focus off the pain from last cycle

Paula - hope appt goes well on Fri. Where are you going o/s?

NicoleS - hope all is going well and you get some great eggies on Fri

Saph - I am so sorry about BFN. Its just not fair. Praying a break helps you relax and maybe another natural miracle?

5 more days to testing (and counting). Hard to know if any true symptoms given the hormonal ****tail I am taking. Hoping the next few days pass quickly and maybe I'll give in and POAS on the w/e.

[tiggerlinda]

So sorry to hear your news Saph. Sending you lots of

TigerGal good luck in the TWW. Hope it goes fast and you get your BFP.

Tiggerlinda i hope the Bronchitis goes away soon. Thats terrible. Rest up and get better!

Janie good luck with your new cycle. I too believe getting straight back into it is the best way!

MissK I never had any side effects from any of the meds i was on and my body still reacted well to them all. Lots of women dont have side effects so dont stress about it too much. You will be right!

MeredithD im going to Europe for 3 weeks with DH and my parents. My parents are actually going for 5 weeks and we are meeting them there. Will be nice to see my HUGE family and enjoy the summer weather! Good luck with your testing. Try and keep sane for the next four days

With me, i have FS appointment tomorrow which i am really really looking forward to so that i can have some sort of idea about what we are doing over the next few weeks.

[tiggerlinda]

Miss K - I am at City IVF where abouts in Brissie are you?

[Miss K]

*Paula* That is a relief to know that it still worked for you with no side effects I wish you all the best at your specialist tomorrow!!!

Tiggerlinda - I am at Spring Hill with Dr Barbara Hall from Queensland Fertility Group

hi to everyone else

[Baby Angels]

Well time to catch up.... I ve been down in Melbourne.. tried to play tourist for the first few days but only lasted one day.... today has been spent in bed..... tomorrow and Saturday the conference in on for work and then fly back to Brissy on Saturday night... back to work again on Sunday......

JBM... So glad your on the mend...... I was thinking about your friends miscarriage.... It would be a godsend for her to have you there. One of the hardest things I dealt with is my frustration that no one understood. That s part of the reason I found BB to be such a blessing but in my 'real world' there was no one... and worse than that there were people saying the most insensitive things... so for her benifit... It is great that you are able to be there for her.

saph204... ohhhh I sooooo understand... as I was reading what you wrote.. they were words out of my own mouth weeks ago..... Follow whats right for you and be true to you heart and soul...... take care saph.

TigerGal.... Ohhh so thrilled for your transfer.... we will be testing around the same time.....ohh what the heck ... sticky vibes for both of us

tiggerlinda... hope you are feeling better... I wish I could say I was.... playing with the possiblilities of antibiotics at the moment as its gone down into my lungs and bronchitis has hit in a bad way... sleeping sitting up at the moment.

Janie71... Hope it all goes well for you this cycle....

Miss K.... well well.. another Queenslander....lol.... so you are saying your a whimp and you give them to yourself... I m such a whimp... i have to look away while DH gives them to me. I went origionally to David Malloy at Queensland Fertility. Wont ever go back to him..... so now I m looking at Terry Sheehan at North West... I think that is probably the first time I have ever mentioned Malloys name in here....

MeredithD.... I dont know how to not 'give in' quite often I will poas before hand... what the heck... nothin to loose.... couple of sticks that dont get used to properly... but hey, i m sure they get over it.

Paula...good luck with your appointment tomorrow

AFM.... not a lot to report... sick as sick can be... however still making sure "o" doesnt slip by without some effort....... I swear I will be shocked as anything if bub ends up deciding that this cycle is the one... and I wouldnt be surprised if they came out coughing.... or with a runny nose

[Marsha]

woah!!!!!! i need alot of catching up to do....
been sick, very sick....start with jus fever 38.6, however doc gave me tramadol, im allergic to panadol to begin with. severe effect of allergy......it takes me a week to finally recover fully.

i rather fall sick now den wen im going thr IUI or ICSI. I jus got to strong so as to carry another life inside me.

saph - dear
TL - hope u getting betta
Miss K - it jus a matter of getting use to e *****ling. I dont even dare to give myself e jab.
JBM - chox dats nice....we do need a shoulder to cry on in times lik dis
paula - good luck with ur FS
meredith -

hi to those i 4got to mention, really need tym to get to know u ladies, read ur personals.

[Miss K]

JBM - Thanks hun No I am not being a wuss hehehe!! Soo sorry to hear about your friend Let us know how the acupuncture goes I was told that it wouldn't work for me by a natropath and was told to just use some herbs but I am afraid of mixing my injections with the herbs hehe!

AngelBabies - Yes ANOTHER Queenslander :P I am seeing Barbara Hall she is fantastic really good! Never heard of that one that you have been to though... Yes I am big time wuss hehe but seem to be coping pretty well now! Good luck with catching your egg hunny! I love Melbourne its my all time favourite place but prob cause I was born down in Victoria :P

marsha - Thats awfull being sick and you not being able to take panadol boo!!!! I hope you are feeling better soon!!!

[TigerGal]

Hi Everyone,

Just popping in to catch up and see how everyone is doing.

AB: So exciting we will be testing around the same time, it's nice to share. Lets hope for our BFP this month. I've got a good feeling about this!! AND
How are you feeling? Are you coping with the waiting game? This game is definitely not fun.

JBM: I have never done accupuncture, please let me know how things go for you.

Paula: Thanks for the luck, I think I'm gonna need it! Not feeling much at all at the moment but perhaps way too soon, I only had transfer on Tuesday morning. Let us know how you go with FS appt. Hope you are well.

TL: Hope you are on the mend

Meridith D: Thanks for the vibes, need as many as I can get!! Great news with my emnies, both were suitable for freezing and I suppose as they transferred an 8 cell that the others would be the same? Forgot to ask but they are both safe in the freezer. I've read that a lot of the time they don't thaw well, I'd be crushed if I had to go straight into another stim cycle, it felt like it took soooo long. I'm thinking of you, not long til testing now!!! Any news, symptoms, how you feeling? I'm dying to know... Sending you lots and lots of
I can't wait to hear some news!! xoxox

Miss K: Thanks for support!! How are you going with Gonal injections? I found I didn't have any side effects with it other than late in the cycle, I was very bloated. I got six eggs from collection. With me (PCOS) my FS said he would rather get less eggs than more at the risk of OHSS. Any news with you, when is your first scan??

Saph: How you doin? Any plans for the next step? Sending you lots of at this horrible time. Chin up, if you can xoxo

ME: Just waiting, waiting, waiting. Get the message? I don't feel anything at all. I fell like I have completely recovered from the EPU now but have no preg symptoms. I know it's too soon but I just wanna feel sick or something! My BBs are very sore, in particular my nipples (sorry TMI) but I read that may be from the pessaries (which I hate). Does anyone know how long after transfer that the embie implants? Just pondering where it is at the moment... Still 10 days to BT so best get my patience boots back on!! I have a really busy weekend planned so that should help...

Hope everyone is well xoxoxo

[Baby Angels]

Tigergal...... ohhhh your not doing well with the whole 2WW are you... One day at a time girl... otherwise you will go insane.... and not is a good way..... Take it easy through the next 10 days but dont focus everything around it.... try really hard to continue everything as normal. Just dont over do anything.... My first 2ww was a nightmare... but I learnt from there to try and just make it all just another day.... you bascally have to try and control your mind and what your thinking.... if you starting thinking about it... change your focus to something else... Sanity is the goal here. Learn to Knit.... LMAO

[tiggerlinda]

Tiger Gal sweetie this is the tough part sweetie the TWW and we all overanylise everything. Please take some advice that I found hard create a project or something you can distract your self with sweet. Me I usually make something for bubs to be beacuse at least I feel like I am doing something also have a date etc with DH and enjoy some pre preg time (I know this all sound NAF and weired but try and take some of my 2years exp and benfit from it)

PM or MSN me if you want someone to chat to too

I Hope all us sickies are better soon.

AFM - Just hoping the pill can now overide AF for another week so we will be well to start OMDHD next weekend

[Miss K]

TigerGal - I have my scan on Monday I am soo hard that I see an eggy! I have no symptoms at the moment except a little nausea late in the evening not sure if its related to Gonal-F injections! 10 days feels like 10 years doesn't it!!!! I am sending you lots of If you need anything feel free to pm me

[JBM]

angelbabies: bit of a holiday around work for you, sounds good. hope you feel better soon.
as for my friend we mc 2 weeks apart so i think it is good for us both to have support. i dropped off a few dvd's to her place today so she will rest up in front of tv for a while. i told her to look at bb, but she already on another site( we won't mention them in here as that would be like swearing). anyway i'm sure it helps us both.

marsha: is everyone sick in here?, hope you feel better soon

missK: how you going? hope all is well. b good

tigergal: yes will let you all know about acu aft 1st session. never tried before but should be good. waiting... waiting... waiting...
hope you keeping yourself busy in tww

tigerlinda: count down to OMDHD, hope you feeling better soon and af comes when you want her to.

afm, af didn't come on time today which is a bit unusuall as i am really regular. but aft last month evrything is still all over the place.
i still feel so tired and passed up a girls night at the movies tonight as i just can't do it. i feel so old?!
hi to everyone else and chat soon

[MeredithD]

Sorry, not up to personals today. I am 99.5% sure I am out for this month. Only 11dpo but I am gettin g those AF feelings. I have been pg enough times to know this is NOT how I would feel if UTD. Got a BFN on a HPT tonight which just confirms what I aready suspected all day today. I know I will get a dozen people tell me they or someone they know didn't get a BFP until after AF due etc etc but I truly do know my body and I KNOW this is not going to be it for me. I am far more devastated than I expected. I think I had convinced myself It would all work out this time.
I am going to cancel my BT on MOn - can't bear to drive all the way in just for someone else to tell me the bad news. However, I will likely jump straight back into another OI/IUI cycle. Not that I really feel like goign through it all yet again, but I am just soooo desperate to be pg and have another baby. My DH would call me obsessed and maybe he is right but nothing else will make me happy.
Sorry to ramble on, I am just so, so down about it all tonight. I can't help still thinking about my twins. I should have been 20w pg by now - just want them back!

[tiggerlinda]

Meridith Not going to give you any Naf words you don't want to hear but I am staying postive for you

JBM - Sweet I have woke up form 12hours in bed I feel old too

Miss K - I often get nausea as a side effect on pregnal and syernal not sure sweetie hopefully that eggie is on its way for you

AFM - 12 hours in bed still coughing and now I really hate it just want to be better now. I just bought a pair of PJ's last night and they are really great and comfy
