Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know that I have been keeping an eye on you all and just taking care of myself. I am doing fine and looking forward to the break when Af finally goes.( And spending all my full time dollars) We are going to look into what is involved in IUI before we decide one way or another. Hope everyone has a good weekend, must go I am suposed to be writing my school reports.

Hi all,
AF finally came this morning & I've been in absolute agony all day. Can't believe I'm excited to start this all over again!?!

A question if someone can help... Does anyone know why I'm getting a faint 2nd line on my PT about a week out from AF? It's never happened before my 1st round of IVF, but my last cycle was longer than expected so I ran one and got a shadow for the 2nd line. I did this again a few times over the next week & the line kept getting darker but not as dark as the tester, then a few days later AF came (really heavy). I was late again this cycle & had one negative test, then ran a 2nd a week later (wed)with a 2nd faint line, then AF today. My friend who is a nurse believes you have to be pregnant to get the 2nd line at all but I'm totally lost!

AB - the ice really does work. I leave the pen out for about half an hour so the liquid isn't so cold, then put the ice on the area for about 5 mins.

to everyone.

[Marsha]

received an email abt e tragic death of e toddlers...

twin, a boy n a girl.....for us in dis thread it will be a blessing to get paternal twins. I'll be jumping for joy, dats for sure.

its saddening to know dat they died of malnutrition. jus hoping their other siblings r doing well


izzylou - BFP, y dont u see ur gynae to confirm.

[tiggerlinda]

AB - I agree with Lou leave the pen out and the ice is a life saver
Marsha - Thanks for the vicks advice

to all

[Baby Angels]

Well Melbourne is growing on me... but I still love the feeling of driving back home from the Brisbane airport.

tiggerlinda... Ok well it looks like a bit of a count down for both of us for next weekend... and Tigergal..... counting... counting... counting... how many hours and how many days is that I have to confess to being PJ addicted.... I have about 6 pairs and as soon as I get home from work the thing I love the most is running upstairs and picking which one I want to wear that night.... there is nothing so comforting than flannel. As for the Brisbane group... Love to catch up but I wont commit to anything right now... our business is changing location at the moment and over the next 3 months... Ohhh if I find time to sleep it would be great.... Mind you if a BFP is on the scene next week it will be breaks on hard and DH going full steam ahead

MissK.... Ok so your on for the count down next week as well... Come on eggies... show your form.... nice soft googley eggs just waitin for their introduction

JBM... Being there for others... it is the only sense I can make out our our loss.... I m glad you are there for each other.

MeredithD... Ohhhhhh that last line in your post... OMG... I have said that more times than I can even think of...... My due date of my little angels Krystal and Cameron is in 10 days.... 1st July. The amount of times I just said 'why' "its not fair" or "I just want my babies back"..... This is what you call a bad day ..... and for every bad day it means you are closer to a good day..... I know that sounds so simplistic for the pain you feel... but really, its the only way I can look at it.... because there is no making sense of it. HUGE HUGE HUGS HUN.... HUGE .... actually....... calling on a group hug for this day....

Marsha... positive it is Marsha.... Ohhh and I m giving bubs encouragement.... started right at the beginning... directions and all (previous post will make sense of that)... I m chatting away to this little one....as for Yoga... who knows... time... now if i could find some more time..... has anyone seen "more time"...... looking for "more time"..... hello... hello...

saph204... Let me know what you find out about IUI... we have our first FS appointment on the 26th August...... mind you wont need it if Bubs decides this cycle is the one for them..... but if its not the we will be looking at IUI...... Good to know your still lurking.... I Lurked when I didnt think I could take it anymore.... and wham... here I am back again...... like I have already said... be true to your heart.

izzylou... its pretty crazy when we look forward to AF and then othertimes curse her.... thanks for the needle advise..... I ll keep it in mind incase any needles have to come my way.

Goodness... mega post...

AFM... Well just got back from Melbourne.... and swear bubs has decided its time...could be wrong... could also be wishful thinking... to find out that we are pregnant again at the same times as my angels would have been born.... but soooo much tingling down there and also a bit of nausea.... its only been a week though... so its all probably far to early..... Anyway........I wont be living it over and over again, just taking it as calmly as I can.... Last thing I would need would be for AF to show up on my angels due date.

[tiggerlinda]

AB - Heres hoping you are right sweetie and bubs has decided it is time will be great to see you at the meetup

[JBM]

well how sad is it that 2 bubs had to die. anyway i don't want to think about it. maybe selfish but i eveyone has own coping mechanisms.

meredith: hope you wrong and you get BFP.

tl: i'm so sick of not feeling well and i know how you feeling. hope we both get back to norm soon.

saph: hope you feeling o.k. i'm thinking of you and hope you are well.

izzylou: how are you going? hope all is well

angelbabies: hope you get that BFP!!!

missK: hope those eggs behaving, when is epu?

to anyone i missed, sorry hi to you.

afm, nothing really had a bit more gastro( other end this time) not nice. my dh says i just have no stamina!
had a bit of a sleep in today until nearly 8am. now i know some of you might think "what" thats not a sleep in!, but when certain boys decide 6.30am everyday is wakeup time then 8 am is a sleep in.
anyway chat soon
for eveyone who needs it

[Rustybeth]

I just can't believe that after everything that my body has gone through with hormones etc in the stim cycle, that I did not get a period! How does that work!

Janie, I'm in the same position. I had stim cycle, inconclusive BT, low levels of HCG, and I've been told to expect a MC. I've been off the crinone a week, all my symptoms are gone even the thrush, and yet no blood. I have a third blood test on Wednesday to check the HCG levels are dropping. But what do they do? Do you wait until you have flow before they start the next cycle?

I want to do another stim right away--because of the costs, I want to get as many in this year as possible. I have one frozen emb, and I hope my FS will let me do another stim to raise the stock a bit.

I am just in a horrible state over all this. I am an uber-control freak, and I am going insane not being able to take action on things. This is on top of my still problematic rotator cuff, so I can't even do HOUSEWORK to distract me. In the old days, I'd be working my way through the pantry, but I can't even go grocery shopping (no lifting). I am truly pitiful.

Somebody smack me and make me stop whinging.

Hi All my friends...

Well I'm back in this thread I'm sorry to say after a BFN 2 weeks ago. Have just spent some time getting my head around everything before I jumped in and joined you all again. I have been keeping up to date with what's happening in here and reading daily.

After yet another disappointing result and on advice from the nurses at our clinic, DH and I saw a new FS the day after we got our BFN. To say we are happy with him and the advice he offered us is an understatement. He sat and listened to all our concerns and agreed with us that there is a lot more that can be done to help us TTC. I basically explained to him that we just cannot keep getting our hearts broken time and time again and we wanted to do all we could to fall pg as soon as possible. DH had been asking me for months to get a second opinion and I wish I had have done this months ago and maybe my precious little embies would have had more of a chance....can't dwell on the past though, I thought I was doing the right thing.

So, on Monday, I'm off to have a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and curettage. He thinks possibly I have endo and also perhaps some scarring and damage from my ruptured ectopic. Has put DH on menevit, taken me off metformin, is going to do a whole heap of blood tests and will be doing my ET's under ultrasound so he can see exactly where the little embie is going.

Am very excited to be moving forward but on the other hand am petrified that he will find something really wrong with me. He did explain though that if it was adhesions or even endo, once it is all cleaned up, TTC will be much easier. So although no-one wants anything to be wrong with them, at least these things are fixable.

So here I am like you all playing the waiting game again. My heart is healing again too but I'm praying a good clean out is what I need to help things happen!!

Sorry for no personals today...have to get moving. Just woke up feeling like I could join you all again and wanted to write before I chickened out again!!

Hope you all have a great day

Hugs Bel

Bel for your lap mine had many answers for me

[lilmisshavachat]

Hi..
I have popped in to say hello as I have just recently been referred to a FS for DH and I as he has motility issues...I've been over in the TTC 6-12th thread but felt that it was time to move.. We have been TTC for 14 months offically but ceased BCP in Jan 2007... Our first appointment is on the 14 July with Dr Isherwood of Monash IVF Gold Coast.. Has anyone had any experience with this Dr or Monash here??? I'm finally excited again about TTC.. I was excited when we first started trying but about 6 months into it I started to get despondant and also felt that something wasn't right.. I even went to a Monash IVF info night 8 months ago and had a very strong feeling I would end up taking that path.. It still took another 8 months for me to accept this and start the testing process though... As I said DH has motility issues but all my BT's came back normal so i'm hoping that is our only hurdle... Bring on our appointment I can't wait to get started..

[Miss K]

Question Girls :
Wondering if I was to BD with these 20 eggs is that just a major no no like how many eggs could actually fertilise?

[Janie71]

Hi Girls,

Sorry no personals today, been a heck of a weekend for my family. Some of you may remember that my younger sister is pregnant and remember my difficulties with coming to terms with that given my current circumstances. Well, I had finally got to the point where I was feeling happy and excited for her.

Unfortunately, my sister got very sick over the last week with pre-eclampsyia. Her blood pressure was through the roof and kidney function was starting to fail. Due to this the decision was made to deliver my nephew at a mere 25 weeks gestation (was not due until October of this year). He was born on Saturday night at 11:33pm and weighed in at a slight 669 grams. He is so tiny, but a little fighter. Considering his difficult start to life he is still going strong. My sister is still in ICU but we are hopeful she will get transferred to a ward in the next day or 2. She got to see her son for the first time late Sunday evening, but he is still not well enough to be held.

I'll catch up with everyone in the next few days. Please say a little prayer if you can for our newest little addition.

Hello ladies

Lou did you have a blood test to rule out pregnancy or did you just base it on the HPT?

Angel Babies good luck and i hope all those signs are correct!

Rustybeth you poor thing. Being in limbo is the worst

Bel sorry to see you back in here. I agree with you, there is no point dwelling on the past. Its just great to hear that you are happy with your new FS. Good luck with all your testing.

lilmisshavachat. Its all very exciting when we start on a new TTC journey. Lets hope that having moved into this thread will bring you lots of luck and most importantly a BFP really soon!

Miss K is it not possible to have the collection and freeze the embies then have a frozen transfer?

Janie my prayers are with your family especially your sister and lil nephew. I wish them both all the best and hope your sisters recovery is a quick one.

Had my appointment on Friday and i got wonderful news, i can fit in another cycle before my holiday! We are doing the short way this time with the Provera instead of the Pill. I didnt think that would be an option for me for some reason but it is and i am very happy! So i started the Synarel and Provera on Friday and now hope that AF shows up sometime next week so we can get this ball rolling with my much loved injections. It would be so wonderful to go back home and see the family with news that im pregnant! Please God let this be the one
