Just popping in to say the temp dip wasn't implantation....it was damn AF! :( How dare she show up days early?
Oh well, DH has his follow up SA on Wednesday and I am booked for an ultrasound on 8th of August.
We also registered today for an infertility seminar/info session at Monash IVF which is on Aug 15th. Just wondering if anyone else has been to one of these and is it worth going along? I just don't know how much it's going to cover and if I have already researched so much myself that I might be falling asleep in my chair?! At the very least, I guess it will be good for DH.

Hi everyone,
Well Like you Jade I am having mixed feelings about the success this month. I have been cramping on and off for a few days now and I never take that as a good sign. All I feel like doing is laying in bed all day but that won't help. I am trying to stay positive but it is getting harder. There is such a lead up with all the proceedures and then you get into a bit of a slump. I don't know how others do this continually. I am feeling a bit drained.
I hope that I am wrong.

Good morning ladies,
Was wondering if you would mind if i joined you in here? I've been hanging out in the TTC 6months+ thread but think it's time i moved on from there. I see a few familiar faces in here but for those who don't know me DH and i have been TTC for almost 15 months with no luck (although we have had two chemical pregnancies). All the tests we've had so far have showed no reason why we haven't been succuessful - we had our last lot of tests a few weeks ago and go back tomorrow night to find out the results.
Look forward to chatting to you all.

Boo & Zap, welcome! It's nice to have you here. IKWYM about the 6+months thread. I just can't keep up in there so don't post there often. I have been in the TTC threads with both of you girls this entire TTC journey so far. Lets hope we can all have a happy ending to it soon. ;)

Hi girls, just a quick one to let you know that AF showed up this morning....YAY....my last cycle ended on day 92, so hopefully this one is much shorter....
Have a great night everyone...
-
:) Hi everyone, hope you've all had a good day.
Just wanted to welcome all the new faces, and the old ones...you know I just realised that in one month's time, we will have been doing this AR stuff for 1 year.....and it still feels like yesterday when we went for our first appointment.
Alas, no progress since that time, and no better off in terms of knowledge...we are still the category "unexplained".
Well, better choof off now. Hope you're all fairing well. I ducked into LTTC and there was much sadness there, of fading hope etc. Try to stay hopeful all. There is always room for hope.
Take care

Hi and welcome to Boo and Zap. I'm a relative newcomer to this thread too (migrating from the Clomid thread), so there are a few of us joining lately.
Janee and Linda, I'm thinking of you both and hoping that the current cycle works out for positively for each of you. Sending lots of sticky vibes and mental strength to get you through the ever trying 2WW. :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl:
I just took my first FSH injection tonight. I have to say I was a bit nervous, and the pen hovered in my hand for a minute or two until I was brave enough to actually inject it, but it really wasn't too bad! Yay for tiny tiny needles and whoever it was that invented them!
Best wishes to everyone else...I hope you are all travelling well. :)

Shan, YAY at AF finally showing up! I guess on the bright side you know where you're at and you can move on to the next cycle. Hopefully this one will be WELL under triple digits! ;)
Boo, how did your appt go?
Allie, you're a braver girl than I! ;) I am seriously petrified about the injections involved with IVF. DH is going to have to do it because I really don't think I could.
DH had his SA today. I have to wait until the 8th of August for my ultrasound and then back to my FS on 22nd August which was the earliest I could get in. I am excited that we have finally started the ball rolling.
Just a quick question for the girls who have been through IVF... How long can I expect to wait to start after seeing my FS before we start IVF? Is it just a matter of waiting for the beginning of my next cycle??

Hi GIrls
Sorry I have been MIA. I started spotting on Sunday afternoon. I called my nurse on Monday and she said it's fairly common for this to happen. If anything changes then call back. I was wearing a panty liner which filled in about an hour and I called back and was booked in to go for a blood test on Tuesday morning. Then I started bleeding really heavily on Monday afternoon and I knew for sure it was all over. I started to get the flu on Saturday and was feeling like ****e anyway cos I was only taking panaodol on the off chance that I was pregnant. Got a BFN on the blood test which I was 99.9% sure that's what it was going to be. Been back the doc and got some antiobotics and I am finally starting to feel better. DH are still upset but life goes on and we are going to get a 2nd opinion on my endo to see whether I get it removed before we start a FET. I see my current specialist in September to discuss where we go from here.
Good luck to everyone else and I hope you all get BFP's soon

sorry to hear that Jade, honey. You take care of yourself right now. :hug: from me matey..
-
Oh Jade..i'm so, so sorry. I really thought that this was it. Be strong hun, and get your endo checked out...you've got snow bubs there waiting for their mummy to help them grow....big hugs to you...mwah..xxx
-
sorry jade :hug:
Megan: which specialists in melbourne are you seeing? Bascially you just need to wait till cd1 and then they can start ivf :)
-
So sorry Jade..it just isn't fair is it?
Big :hug: for you. Take care of yourself sweetie.

Hey Danni - just noticed we are cycle buds, yet again!
-
oh no! we are too! i dont wanna be cycle buddies! i wanna be preg buddies :crying:
-
Jade sorry to read of your news :hug:
Megan - got my fingers crossed that your DH's SA comes out fine. Hope the 22nd August comes around super fast for you.
Allie - Reading about your injection made me cringe - i'm the biggest woss when it comes to needles, i think i would have to get DH to do it for me!
Janne - This year has gone by so fast hasn't it? Hope you receive some good news soon.
Shan - woohoo about AF turning up (sounds weird saying that) hope if she's late this time it's for a very good reason!
Well our appointment last night went ok. All our test results came back clear, they couldn't find any reason as to why we're having trouble - DH is now convinced more than ever that he has "super sperm" lol - just wish my body could do it's part of the deal. The Dr has booked me in for a lap on the 8th August to check for endo, blockages etc etc. If we still don't have any success after the lap then we'll have to start looking into IVF.
-
Good luck with you lap Boo, but i hope that you won't need to go anywhere near IVF and that you get a nice BFP before that....xxx
-
Jade, so sorry to read about your BFN. :hugs:
Boo, it's so frustrating this "unexplained infertility" stuff isn't it? That's our problem too. I keep thinking it would be better if there was something wrong. At least there may be some treatment to help. LOL @ your DH's Super Sperm! ;)
Monash Ultrasound called me this afternoon and they have had a cancellation so I am having my ultrasound tomorrow at 4pm now. Saves me waiting another 10 days, so I'm happy about that. Unfortunately I can't get in to see my FS any earlier so still have a month wait to get the results.
Danni, I am seeing Dr Lawrence in Glen Waverley who also practices at Monash IVF. I have only seen him once so far, but I really liked him which makes me feel better about things.
-
Boo - unexplained is the worst! I hate when each IVF cycle we have we go back to the doctor and say "Why didnt it work this time?" and his reply is always "it should be working. We dont know why its not."....... Great answer! NOT! Heres hoping you get there before having to go down the awful IVF track...
Danni - me too, sweetheart.... me too.
-
Keen - i agree, i never thought i'd end up hating the word "unexplained" so much! My Dr was telling me how the rate of unexplained infertility has dropped over the years but there is still quite a big number of couples in there. I guess thats why i'm now pinning all my hopes on this lap, but at the same time if he does find something i hope it's something thats fixable!
Megan - thats good news about your appointment being moved forward, hope it all goes well for you :crossfingers:
-
Hi Everyone
Thanks for that info Keen, seems my nervousness about producing too many eggs has delayed AF as i am now day 30...any hour now tho..lol. I guess my doc will monitor me closely, i feel a bit better now that i know you can make so many and not explode!!! Now i'm just waiting so i can start my Synarel sniffing, actually more looking forward to the injectables now, cant wait to see how many eggs i make on 300 iu !! A little support sure does go a long way..thank you!! :)
-
Good luck TwoMums...hope the month goes well for you and you make lots of grade a eggies.
Keen and Boo...yes the dreaded "unexplained".....it makes me believe there is always hope, and yet it seems our dream of making another baby is so much more elusive with every month that passes by....I sometimes think, if I were told, "this is the reason" then perhaps I would be able to let go. Being given no reason, just frustrates me.
A big hi to everyone else.
I'm in the tww...driving me nuts. Looking for symptoms that aren't there..... I'm also thinking that maybe I'll call it a day if it doesn't work this month. I need to change jobs, becsue it's giving me the poops, I want to go on a family holiday, and I want to stop feeling like every minute of the day is comsumed with thoughts of fertility (or infertility). Anyway, sorry for my long ranting and raving...yet another friend is pregnant with her second and fitted well into their "plan".....whilst our plan went out the window some 2 and a half years ago....
sorry all...ignore the :crying:
Take care all

Hi all,
just locking this thread now, everyone. New thread here
