[juniper76]

Sorry to hear the witch found you, ladies. I had been hoping for better news for both of you.

[Miss.B]

Myturn, hang in there honey . If this cycle is not meant to be, I think you'll have more success with a FET. Big hugs again lovely xoxox

Treenie, boo for AF arriving

Glorious, yay for mum offering to help out!

Jasmine, I'm on 300 units of the puregon. I had a shot on Friday night and last night, definitely feeling more bloated and sore after those. Could be all in my head though Boo for the witch hanging around!! That would be so annoying, but hopefully she'll leave the building soon.

Hello everyone esle!

AFM, trigger spray set for 11.30 pm tonight. Luckily, I don't usually go to bed till then. I was horrified when the nurse said I should feel lucky, some girls have triggers at 3, 4 o'clock in the morning. What the???

[Williever]

I normally only bleed for two days. My bleed is still going. Very very light, but still there. I wonder if this means anything?
Dh is sick. I strongly suspect the last cycle affected him a great deal too :-( We just haven't really spoken about it with so much going on.
I am thinking of starting acupuncture ready for cycles in 2014. Do you think that's worth while?
Sorry to just throw this info out there. I'm still dealing with emotions...... Feel like life is in bullet points at the mo. small bite size pieces of info.

I feel rubbish for everyone who needs to fight so amazingly hard for their bubba. It's just rubbish!

[juniper76]

Miss.B, it all depends on what time your EPU is. My clinic doesn't seem to do afternoon EPUs, so the triggers were usually before midnight. But if your EPU was at 5pm, then you could definitely be facing a 3am trigger... FX for you! Let us know how you go on Tuesday!

Williever, I started acu after our 3rd IVF failed. I had never been pg at that time. In my second cycle with the acu, I got a natural BFP - my first ever BFP - so I'm a believer that it can help. It was also 2 months after starting acu for TTC#2 that we got our last BFP (natural BFP). It's just bad luck (ie bad egg/sperm) that both natural conceptions ended in m/c. I don't believe it can work miracles (or I'd have a big family by now), but it can definitely help, so it's worth trying... If nothing else, it's a hour of quiet time for you to just rest and meditate... You get the most benefit out of it by starting 4 months before your stim cycle because that's when you start growing the eggs you'd be collecting at EPU.

[myturn]

So sorry treenie & myturn. Sending big hugs your way.
Myturn - hopefully it's a false alarm. If not you have 7 snow babies waiting. I find fets so much better than the stim cycle I did. Are your embies day 5 ones?

day 2 embies actually. but yes... 7 is good...

still bleeding, but it's actually not that heavy - I'm trying not to be hopeful - but it is actually only a little bright red blood, no clots yet. Although I can feel things happening down there, so I still think it's over - just waiting for the pain to start now....

sigh....
sigh...

Rai - I thought this one was it too. I was feeling so hopeful. Even DH said he thought it was the one.

he was really sweet too. I told him I was going to try and lose weight - biggest loser style - this month, rather than do a FET straight away.
He said that he thought losing weight would be good for my self esteem regardless... but that he sees "the cute 18 year old he first met" "because its true"

which makes me teary just thinking about it.

sigh....

I hate this ****, I have had enough... but I can't stop.... I just can't stop.

[juniper76]

myturn, I had light bleeding at 14dpo with DD. I was sure it was the start of AF and almost drank a bottle of wine to drown my sorrows... Not opening that wine was the best decision I ever made... B/t was at 16dpo and by then the bleeding had almost stopped... But mine was pink, not red...

I hate this ****, I have had enough... but I can't stop.... I just can't stop.

And I know this feeling all too well. I wish I had some words of wisdom to tell you what to do, but in my experience you kind of have to grope through the dark to find your answer because the answer is different for each of us... You'll know it when you find it.

[Emma09]

Myturn....
I echo what everyone else has said.

AFM- I'm still here, kind of.
Have 1 embryo in the freezer- pretty sure that will be my last cycle.

[myturn]

thanks. your kindness makes me teary. but I don't know what I would do without it.

[nothing2lose]

I'm sooooo sorry Myturn

There is nothing easy about this journey and it sucks like nothing else. Don't give up xxx

Ps you know my thoughts on weight loss 5kg...that's all I'm going to say

[Williever]

I'm going for weight loss too :-)

[nothing2lose]

Willi, I am eating high fat, low carb and the weight is coming off so much easier than ever before. And I am never hungry. I thoroughly recommend it.

[myturn]

spoke too soon... definitely bleeding now.... black crinone laced with clots and red blood.... pleasant...

sorry...

sigh... sigh... sigh...

thanks girls... really... thankyou....

the only saving grace is that this cycle was so successful re: frozen embies.

omg... cramping. right. now. ... sigh... hate crinone laced AF....

.........I just feel so scared I can't lose the weight.......

I'm going to 10kgs.... no use if I am still triple figures....

[nothing2lose]

Pffftt...10 is nothing! You can do that standing on your head!! I promise you, if you do what I am doing, the weight will come off. IT WILL!!

[1 more please]

n2l is right I lost 5kgs and fell pg with ds3 but its so hard i'm desperate to lose some weight and I should at least
try hard i'm only 2kgs away from double digets on the dam scales and I still cant get the motivation but am going to
try really hard from tomorrow to not drink and lose those 5kgs.
Would love to know your diet n2l sounds like your going great well done

[Williever]

I've been losely low GI. Apart from the wine I am drinking right now;-)

Need to pick up exercise levels really.

[nothing2lose]

Thanks Rai.

I am aiming to lose a lot more than 5kg, but I hit that late last week (it has gone up a bit today because I am starting to PMS).

I am eating 20-30gms carbs a day (no sugar, no grains, no pasta, no bread, no rice, no potato, etc), 120 gms of fat a day (cheese, cream, eggs, oils, coconut oil, avocado, etc) and around 80gms protein (whatever I like).

I have a Facebook page called Going Against the Grain.

[CatyO]

Myturn, I am so sorry, sending big hugs your way.

Miss.B I had EPU on a Monday at 2:50 pm, so I had my trigger injection Sunday 2:50 am
