Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - June #1

[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

Thank goodness the inevitable arrived. I actually had to go to the GP for some pain meds--I've never had cramps like this before. But I hope that means it will soon be over and we can get on wiht the next steps. As this is only the 1st cycle for me, I am still full of hope and patience. I so admire the women in here with the strength to persevere through multiple cycles. I hope I have the courage it takes to make it all the way.

There are so many of us in here, it's hard for me to do personals, on top of the fact that I can't see straight from the narcotics I got. At least I know I'm not hurting a bub with all this.

I'm going to try to get back to sleep. I think I am (we are all) so blessed to live in a time where there is such incredible medical technology.

Best wishes and hugs to all.
