Hi Ladies,
Just popping in quickly as I am a little anxious..... Am probably jinxing myself by posting this, but what will be will be!!!
AF is 4 days late.. I know for most people this is nothing, but I am a 28day cycle girl, and have been every month since Luke was born 8 and a half yrs ago!!! (Even after every cycle of IVF she came back on time!)
Have started to have a few little symptoms that I had forgotten about having when first fell pg with Luke but have now remembered about after having them over the last 2 days....
Have also been doing my temps for my acupuncturist this cycle, and they have continued to rise for the last 5 days... today has stayed the same as yesterday... 37.2 (I'm not really understanding this side of it as I have never really charted before, but my acupuncturist tells me this is good)... on top of that I have cm that is quite thick and a lot of it (TMI I know, I'm sorry), and it is usually quite watery just before AF......
Anyway, things are looking nice for the moment and needed to share it with ladies that understand the excitement a little bit of good symptoms... even if to anyone else it might seem like nothing!!!
Anyway, it may very well be nothing but for now I feel happy and thought I would share!!!
Will keep you posted!!!
Holly

Holly - that all sounds very very promising - fingers and toes crossed for you hun!
-
Holly, I'm surprised you haven't tested yet! When do you think you will?
I've managed to get myself into a slightly better mood now... still feel dizzy and headachey, but I located a couple of hot cross buns in the fridge - toasted hot cross buns seem to cure my grumps! :) DH has said I need to eat more of them! Silly DH, but I did have a shocking case of the grumps yesterday. Yesterday was more angry while today is more depressed, but the hot cross buns seem to work every time.

thought that might be the case BW - you've mentioned them a few times when you've been having a bad day. glad there's something simple that can cheer you up!!
well, i'm off tomorrow for BT to kick start everything again - have done a ring around of the local pharmacies to see which had best value for money for synarel - and none of them have it in stock!! 4 different pharmacies, and not a single synarel in sight! how rude! still have three days left from last time, so here's hoping SOMEONE can get some in stock soon
Holly - will you be testing soon?? would be nice to have another BFP at the moment!

Gday girls!
I havent been on for a week and have just spent and hour reading the 7 pages it took to catch up... wowsers, it's been busy here.
Firstly I want to say I am sooo sorry for Mel and Shannon on your Neg results. I really feel for you girls but am also so happy that you have good things planned to act on right away.
And Holly. OMG those symptoms sound great. I know what you mean about only 4 days over but a big deal to you. I am the same, 27 days almost every time.
Me... I was expecting a parcel from clinic on friday with meds and blood forms but nothing arrived. I phoned and they said "oh, that parcel is still sitting inthe frige here, we will send it monday" I was supposed to have my day 21 bloods taken then (also my birthday, what a nice pressent) so had to go to local blood service and get them to phone clinic and get forms faxed there... grrr why does the clinic act so blase when it is obviously a big deal to me? I dont want to drive 280km round trip to pick up the parcel because they couldnt get their act together. Anyhow it all turned out ok as the bloods were just right and I wont start synarel till thursday am so plenty of time but I was really worried/angry when I thought things should be starting this morning and the meds wouldnt get here till today!
All going to plan now, thank goodness.
Hi to everyone. Sorry it is hard for me to catch up at the moment. I cant leave it that long again!!!!
-
Hi Again,
Well, I think I jinxed myself!!!!
Just had the slightest bit of spotting after going to the toilet, so here we go again....!!!!
Oh well, it was nice while it lasted!!!
Every time AF arrives it just makes me more impatient TTC naturally... its just too long between each cycle!!!
One more month & I think we'll do another IVF cycle... still have to save a little more $$ first... I hate that that is the only reason;)
Anyway, now I feel stupid for posting earlier tonight, but oh well!!!
I forgot in my excitement earlier to say that i was thinking about everyone... those of you with BFN's, those of you in the 2ww and those of us inbetween or halfway through... thinking of everyone!!!
Love Holly
:D xxx

Holly - don't give up hope yet Hun! see how you go - still got my fingers crossed for you! sending big cyber hugs to you
Sazz - i will probably be starting synarel again on thursday too, but working toward IUI not ICSI - and yeah, i agree, a week away (even a whole day) and it takes forever to get yourself back up to speed
-
Hi,
I'm sorry that I haven't been around for a while. I am emotionally exhausted at the moment and I apologise for not catching up on the thread. We got the results of our genetic tests yesterday, thankfully, DH and I are both fine, I am so relieved. I've finished work, so now all I have to do is concentrate on TTC.
Still going for acupuncture, we're going to give it another 2 months, and then try the icsi again. I'm thinking now that the main problem is the quality of my eggs, so hopefully the acupuncture will help.
I really hope everyone is OK, I promise I'll catch up on the thread asap.

Damn! I just went looking for the sheet of paper the clinic gave me when we picked up the puregon. I can't even remember what was on the sheet of paper, except for the fact that stapled to it was a little list of numbers that showed how much puregon would be left in the cartridge after each injection. It's gone! I packed it in the cooler bag when we went to Tamworth, and the last time either me or DH can recall seeing it was when we were there. It's not on the kitchen bench where I unpacked the cooler back, the top of the freezer where all my tablets live, the coffee table in the lounge room where I prepare my injections, the general dumping ground of the dining table... it's not anywhere!!! :(
Why do I have to be so good at losing things?
BW

each vial should contain 600IU - so if you're on 150 IU per night, you can assume night five you need to have a new vial
hope that helps BW
-
BW...the pen should have a safety feature that wont let you dial up or lock in anymore puregon than what is left in the vial. So try not to panic...if there is not enough for a full dose it won't let you do it and that will tell you to start a new pen.

Hi there,
Finally I’ve got to sit down for a moment! I’ve got a Postie party (clothes) here tomorrow and have been madly cleaning all day and baking choc chip cookies. Only problem is that I made a double batch and later realised that I had done it with plain rather than SR flour, so had to do the whole lot again!:doh:
BW- Gosh you sound like me with the hot cross buns. I have a pack in the cupboard at the moment. I love them toasted and smothered in marj…Mmmmmm. Not so good for my weight though!
Smudge- What a bummer! I was the same on my first ICSI cycle, I think from memory I had about 4 scans and was on the injections for three weeks. Finally I got to EPU though. This time they are using a higher dose, so hopefully that won’t happen again. I hope those stubborn follies of your have a nice growth spurt over the next few days!!!
BG- Hope the BT goes well tomorrow and that you find some Syneral. What’s the cheapest you’ve got it?
Sazza- Glad that all is on track for you. YAY for your cycle starting Thursday! And you too BG!!
Alex- Hi there. That’s great that you’ve finished work now, have you stopped for good, or just taking a break? Hopefully the acupuncture (and being able to focus solely on ttc without other pressures) will do the trick for you.

It's not so much the numbers that worry me. I can recalculate the amounts with no drama. What's bothering me is that there's a piece of paper that the clinic gave me... and I just can't remember what was on it! DH and I have both double and triple checked all the usual places, and not so usual places for things to end up... nothing! I've even checked the car - found all sorts of interesting stuff, but no piece of paper that I'm looking for.
It's a weird feeling - I know there's some information that my clinic has given me, but I now have no idea what it was, where it is, and whether it's something I really need to know or not. DH is telling me to just call the clinic and ask for another copy "I was in a month ago, and you gave me a piece of paper with some information on it that I lost. I can't remember what it was, but I'd like another copy, please". :doh: Seems to me that it's a great way to make me feel even more stupid than I do already!
Blargh! And I just messed up my calculations because I have 900 IU cartridges, not 600!
I think I need to just go to bed.
BW

hehehe...Bed sounds good BW.....you know you will find the piece of paper about a weeks after you need it, it is always the way.

Hi Everyone
Well one week down and one to go, the TWW is going pretty good, nothing happening really. Just wanted to say hi...
Shannon and Mel, so sorry bout the BFN but thats the way, back in the saddle!!
Holly hope you are ok and that it was only spotting!!
-
Yay BG we will be cycle buddies! I have been sitting here for a few months waiting and seeing so many of these girls cycling together and thinking I would do it alone. It will be great to compare treatments, I hope yours goes smoothly!
Hi to everyone in the waiting period. Always waiting,,, waiting for AF, TWW, waiting for start dates, waiting for tests. I guess we all spend most of our time waiting for something. Hope everyone has a good day and BW finds whatever it is on that pesky bit of paper. Probably, like Mel says, it will turn up when you dont need it anymore. Lets hope that whatever is on it isnt important anyhow.
-
Hi girls, just checking in quickly.
BG - Fantastic news about the benign cyst and being able to start back TTC!
BW - Sending you some hugs. Hope you get a nicer nurse next time. Mmmm toasted hot cross buns sound yummy, do you toast them in the grill?
Mel and Shannon - So sorry to hear about your BFN's.
Holly - How are you? Your symptoms were sounding good. Hope AF stays away.
BIG hello to everyone else. Hope you are all doing well.
Have a quick question for you all. I just made the appointment with a new GP to get a new referral as my previous one I got in september 2004. When I got the referral, I had a b/t and u/s done and the u/s showed something which I asked my then GP if it could've been ovulation about to occur, which he said it probably was.
Anyway, when I take my referral to the new GP, do you think I should take the u/s results/scans and my chart if I can print it off? (printer is playing up!)

Hi Everyone!
Just thought I'd pop in & give an update... AF arrived full flight this morning.... my god its the heaviest one I've had in a very long time..... the price you pay for being 4 days late!!!
Have spoken to my acupuncturist who thinks the reason for the lateness may have been from the aspirin I have been taking everyday to help the ovaries & lining... it will eventually help with implantation for next cycle of IVF... well at least it did its job and held the lining in place!!!!! (For 4 days longer anyway!!!);)
Not much else here happening... my little man has settled down now in regards to everything with his new baby sister so I'm a lot more at ease... I guess the stress of last week may have been enough to make AF late as well???
Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you guys in the 2ww, and good luck to BG and your appointment today!
I know I've just missed so many of you but I can't go back far enough on the thread!!!
Kim B - How are you feeling??? Not too long to wait now!!!
Two Mums - Hope the next week flies for you guys.
Hi to everyone else!!!

Hi everyone, just popping in very quicly to announce tht I have a BFP!!:bfp:
Had to have my test a day early, as I have been seriously ill- turns out I have been hyperstimulated and becasue I am now pg, will be sick for 5-6 more weeks- lots of bed rest is the only cure!! Anyway HCG levels a day early were 144, which they said they were very happy with. Now just nervously waiting for the next 8 weeks to pass, so we can make it tothe magic 12 week milestone.
-
Forgot to say-
Hi again Carrie. See you are using Dr McBain too!!
Big Hugs for you Mel Bel.
I will probably not be on the net much- depending really how I feel each day, so in the meantime, have my fingers crossed for everyone.
-
YAY!!! EJE, awesome news! Sorry you are feeling so bad. I hope it's all worth it in the end.
Holly, stress can be another thing that delays AF. I hope you have more luck next time.
I'm having a bad day. I'm exhausted - physically, mentally, emotionally. I've had a snarky email from my HOD about assessments that I'm supposed to have set - one was late because the teacher who was checking it was off sick, the other slipped my mind. I just want to sit here and cry! My arthritis is hurting me, I can hardly walk - the pain adds to the exhaustion, and I can't take the naprosyn to sort it out.
I'm really not coping at all today. I'm sitting here and looking at the state I'm in and wondering how on earth am I going to cope when I'm pregnant? This is bad enough! How on earth am I going to cope with caring for a baby when DH is having to do so much in the way of caring for me. I'm starting to think we are doing the wrong thing here. :cry:
BW

EJE - wow, so thrilled for you. I hope the next 8 weeks fly by for you. It's so nice to get to share other's good news.
BW - stay strong, remember drugs and stress and pain do crazy things to your hormones and emotions. Don't question the decisions you made when your mind was clearer.
Funny how i can say that to you - but i can't take my own advice. I have a 24/7 headache and spend most of my time in a bit of a haze from the Imigran. Tears at the drop of a hat (like the poor cute little polar bear on the telly).
I'm out of work at present and struggling with that too. I know i am lucky to not have to go to work, but getting rejected for jobs is hard too - and the spare time is making me a bit loopy. Now all the well meaning nosey's in our life are suggesting that, seeing as i am not working, maybe we should start a family ...:cry:
-
CONGRATULATIONS EJE!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:
You must be over the moon! I'm so happy for you!! Lots of bed rest and look after yourself. I hope you have a healthy 9 months.
Let's hope there's a few more of those coming our way girls!!! ;)
-
Congratulations EJE! We've got some great results here lately! Keep 'em coming!
Well, my little chatterboxes, it's new thread time again!
