More obsessing and over-analysing to follow... Just want to say thank you to everyone who is wishing me luck, really appreciate the kind thoughts at the moment!
Lou, you are correct - I'm not on any form of progesterone... I only had one dose of crinone a week ago. I still can't quite figure out why our clinic does that, but they do...
Got to pondering how I felt when on trigger shots... and there was no nausea, breast tenderness, or anything - just the enormous great big hot red welts from the injection site. Which rather remind me of the hot spots that are my boobs and lower belly right now... Not having any of the moodiness I noticed while on provera... felt pretty normal while on primolut.
So... it all points to the conclusion that SOMETHING is different... I'm still half convinced it's all in my head and will probably continue to believe that until those damn HPTs turn positive...

hehehe - i think we all over analyse EVERYTHING during the TWW BW - but hey - you've got lots to compare it to! you've done the trigger shot, you've done the provera and primulut, you've done a full cycle on Letrazole - so you have plenty to compare it against - and that's a really good thing - keep yourself positive hun - something is different - and different is good!!
keep your chin up - only a few more days til your BT!

Hey BW
I'm with everyone else...and i work in the education system too...if you have the day off, then it's making you the priority which you should be! After everything you've been through to get to the 13th, having the BT then going home to try and keep your head straight is much better than being responsibile for a classroom of students who have no idea what you're going through. And then depending upon the results, you can react how you need in the safety of your own home. Take the day i say!

Hi Alicat. Yeah with IVF australia at Chatswood. FS is dr porter and he is great, really friendly, honest and down to earth. But we dont get to see him much. When ever we have a question, for example after m/c, he was always available to talk, and wanted me to talk to him every couple days after d&c to tell him how things were going. I dont know the nurses very well, but most of were good, apart from the one i talked to on the phone once, who said i prob wasnt preg, but ended up i was!! Only other thing was that i had no idea at start that when we paid the money on day 1, that you couldnt claim on medicare until the cycle had finished, but as that was our first cycle it was all pretty new, and im guessing maybe most places do it like that.
Hey i also have a little nephew, 3.5 months, first time i saw him was when we got off plane the day after d&c, i was so upset i cried, and then i gave him big cuddle and ooo he is so cute. I love him but im still sad that its not us, and that we have been trying for ages.
Where are you thinking of doing IVF? i read that your husband had SA tests down with SIVF, all i know is that they are little bit more expensive.
BW- thinking of you

hi Kotare - when is your AF due? what type of cycle are you doing? my first cycle was a BFN but we are doing a natural FET next im just waiting for AF (due sometime between today and Tuesday) then i do a BT on day 1 then on day 12 another BT and if i have LH surge i have blastocyst transfer 5 days later. it sounds so easy its hard to comprehend that it works this way....all my Blasts were hatching morulas so apparently thats really good. im only having one put back in at a time as personal choice.

Ok, I'm going to do my best to attempt some personals here..
Megan, welcome back!! glad to see you back here. YAY on moving house and hope you can get some broadband out in the sticks!
Holly - How great that Antonia gave you some positive news and even better that you will be able to see her in Sydney now.
Mel - glad to hear all went well with your DH's op.
Welcome to ray and sparkles (and any other newcomers that I may have missed)
Shannon - OMG at having a seizure at work! LOL at the cute ambo guys though
Lou, just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you.. hope the flu goes away soon.
Ok, onto me, I updated my journal, we saw the FS and both DH and I like him which is a huge relief. He has booked me in for a lap,dye and D&C Friday 22 June. He gave us info on IUI, just basically explaining the process and said that's what we would do after the lap. I was confused as to whether or not he is going to let us try for a couple of months after the lap. Suppose it will depend on if they find anything or not?
I'm freaking out at the thought of surgery, probably the control freak coming out in me LOL. DH said he will sit down with me when I fill out the paperwork for the hospital.
We got a quote for the FS fees and took it to our PH Insurer and because we got the quote upfront we have no out of pocket with him YAY! Also have no excess on hospital stays as well. The lady at the health insurance mob said that she would get onto the Anaethetist for us and see if he will give them a quote.
DH is all excited.
Hope everyone is well, Lou, I also have a flu, and AF arrived today as well, trying to pop as many pills as possible to make it go away ASAP!
OMG BW - I forgot to say 'hi' to you, hope all is well your way I have been thinking about you.

Sorry to hear about your uncle Sparkles...hope you are okay.
Mel - the FS I have been seeing when taking metformin & clomid was the first FS my GP referred me to. It wasn't until she said that IUI or IVF would be our next option that I looked at the prices of SIVF & realised how much more they were than Westmead & IVF Aust. I have an appointment with IVFAust 25/6 & Westmead 30/7. If I am happy with IVF Aust I prob won't worry about going to Westmead. I am going to the IVF Aust clinic in Castle hill. From what I can see they are at least $4000 cheaper than SIVF!
Hoping that the new FS will take into account what we have been through already so as to not delay the inevitable. It's a shame cause I really liked the FS I was seeing but I can't afford to spend the extra $$$ when I have two other options...I guess I am lucky in that way.

Ali, there is another option again... Next Generation Fertility in Parramatta. I believe they have a policy that gets you in for your first appointment within a week - certainly worked for us. Very similar pricing policy to IVFAust, but probably not as convenient.
I'm with them and I'm loving it - a few problems with getting to know how some of the nurses work, but they have been absolutely brilliant with me and my body's desire to do everything the complicated way and not respond properly.
I see David Knight there - he does take a bit of getting used to. He's quite big on the emtional side of things, and often drives me nuts at appointments when he's going on about me needing to stress less... I know it's necessary though, even if it does bug me. One thing that does bother some women with him... He's VERY big on weight control with PCOS. He didn't think I'd have to do it, as I'm within normal weight limits, but my GTT came back appallingly bad so I had to do a 4-week diet thing - where he checked everything I'd eaten for those 4 weeks at the next appointment. It worked - I lost 4kg in 4 weeks and continued to lose weight even after I stopped following the program. For others - he has kept them on that the whole way through treatment... Glad I managed to escape it!
Still plodding along, desperately wanting to believe, but scared to let myself. Still testing negative, but still have strong symptoms. Either way it's not too long to go. Three more sleeps! Have finally made my decision - Wednesday I won't be going to work... no matter how much people complain at me! I'll probably still take the early BT appointment, though!

Hi Sonya, thanks for asking - i am really struggling ATM. I went straight back into another down reg cycle after the BFN last time. I had no embys survive, so, back to full stim again. I am meant to get AF in a week, only last time she was 8 days late (I hate the BCP!). I am so desparately hoping to get a better result this time. Psychologically I can't do a 3rd full stim this year... but then maybe i can't not - IYKWIM!?! Good luck with your FET - hope your body behaves itself for you!! Sounds like you've got some great quality bubs waiting for you...I hope some 'other' man will get you pg while your DH is away
Nic - yay - i think the lap etc will be good, and it might be all you need (
How are you going Ellie?? Are you having time out or are you going to jump right back into the fire? You are very courageous.
Lou - i will email
Big hugs to you all

hi Kotare - chin up girl i know your a strong woman...i know what you mean with the emotional struggle of what if another BFN? scenario. your situation is so much more involved than mine though. i am very lucky to have four snowbubs but i am so scared that none will survive the thaw or only one will and i get another BFN... i know in my heart i want to keep on going until i am pregnant but i also know DH wont want to. i am blessed with 2 beautiful boys but have an empty ache in me as i really want another. i thought in my first cycle if i got a BFN i would be able to cope, but after such an ordeal with low response etc etc when i got that -ve result i was devastated. i was angry at everything and didnt want to speak to anyone, i didnt visit anyone for over a week and i was sooo depressed! i am scared of how i will react if i get another BFN but at the same time i dont want to stop trying... now just waiting on AF, have a bad feeling she is going to be extra late for the first time in my life... whats the next stage for you when you get AF? are you back to Synarel followed by injections?
Moderator
All the stats etc would say we are both going to get pg soon, but it's hard to stay 'up' sometimes.
Yep, I've already started Synarel, so i just have to take my last few BCPs, then AF will arrive hopefully not too late (Synarel makes her v late!), then start the jabs again.
My GP started talking about donor eggs the other day when i went to renew my referral - I told her she was being a bit hasty, but i can't deny that all that is playing on my mind. I should take one day at a time, but after taking the last 1,000+ days at a time, i am beginning to wonder what my future might hold.
I think if it scares you to stop trying - then you should definitely keep trying. I think you must get to a point where you know when to stop, and only you can tell. I think sometimes our DHs just want the ups and downs, and the pain etc, to stop for us and that's why they don't want to keep trying. But the joy in the end is going to be so very sweet that it will all be worth it.
I've been doing the 'why me' thing a bit much lately (and then hating myself for it) and i'm not sure how to get out of it this time.
I'm sure that your snowbubs will survive the thaw - BW's made it, and she had a blasty too. I think blastys have higher %'s so June could be a good month for blastys!! And then bring on July for me
Thanks for the support - it's really appreciated
