Kyles heres hoping your TWW is the last too

Hi everyone,

Well I am out of the TWW with a BFN, so just thought I would pop my head in here to say hi. Waiting on a call from FS to discuss this months plan of attack, although I have started on my Puregon again as yesterday was Day 3 of my cycle and it was a public holiday here so couldn't confirm with FS. Hopefully have done the right thing. I think I will start talking to FS about our options. I want to see whether IUI would be an option for us. I just feel that every month that we just keep doing the same old, same old with the OI. I have now been on injectable OI for 6 months with no positive result apart from the fact that it is making me ovulate. What are your thoughts???

Best wishes to all,
Janie xx

Hi everyone

I feel a bit of a cheat as I didn't even log in for the TWW as I was convinced it hadn't worked. FET started badly with emby not growing over night and going backwards in quality. Second emby was thawn 30min before transfer and the I felt nothing for the next 2 weeks... and just got a BFP .

I just can't believe it - 4 1/2 years of trying, 5 IVFs and 3 transfers and it's finally worked!!! In the most unspectacular way too. I'm still in shock but just wanted to send lots of good vibes to all you ladies and wish you all the best!!!

Janie - sorry sweet GL with FS
Little Fish: Well done on the BFP I am happy for you

Well everyone, I spoke to FS today and we are going ahead with our last OI cycle this month. FS has advised that we should start on IVF if this does not work. I feel such mixed emotions. I feel glad that we are looking at moving forward and trying something new, but I always thought of IVF as my "back up plan". So I am quite emotional about moving onto it.

I have my follicle scan for the OI cycle next Monday when my FS will present us with all the information about IVF. I am trying to be positive, but just can't really explain why I feel so sad. We still have this OI cycle to go through, so who knows maybe this will be the one.

Is it normal to feel like this??? Its not like I have just been told that I have fertility issues, I have known that most of my life. Has anyone else started on OI and moved to IVF? How did you feel???

Janie - it is a transistion sweet not as scary as it sounds but it is a move on

Hi Ladies

Janie - I have tried several cycles of OI and also several IUI and would highly recommed that you move on to IVF. I know it sounds scary and I totally understand cos this is my first cycle and I have been putting it off for quite some time. I have two friends that both had their children through IVF and they have been trying to convince me for years and now that I have finally decided to put my mind to it and be positive I am actually very excited. I wish you the best of luck in whatever avenue you choose

Little fish - congrats on the BFP - sounds very well deserved after the amount of time you have been trying - well done

Tiggerlinda - thanks for the sticky vibes - hope they work like magic

Best wishes to all

Kylie xx
