i saw the FS on Friday, he said medically the miscarriage is positive - says I can get UTD.
No use growing to blastocysts as I don't get enough embryos, and the best place for them to grow is inside me, and he things it is an egg quality issue, as my AHM is a little low, I can't recall what it is, although he did tell me sometime. It wasn't too bad considering some of you ladies in here. He said no use doing ICSI as we get a lot of the eggs we do get fertilising, and there are no sperm issues.... And he said, that medically there isn't really anything I can do about egg quality apart from living a healthy lifestyle... As they have been inside me since I was born... So....
He said the naturopath stuff won't hurt me, but not really any evidence for its benefits.....
Essentially this was nothing I didn't know, but I'm still going to take the crappy herbs, and I will still do acupuncture... Guess I should get onto that...
This baby is going to cost a fortune when I do eventually get UTD.
Was thinking a bit more positively the other day... If I have managed to get a pregnancy in 18 months using IVF, then surely in the next four years (until I'm 40 and really have to think about whether I want to keep going) I have a good chance of getting a BFP..... FX anyway...
I don't know when we will do another cycle, and I don't know if I will tell anyone... Last time I kept it to myself I felt good, and I am thinking about doing that again. I like the support of people knowing, but at the same time, I like the privacy too... So.... just have to go with what feels right at the time i guess.
Will be doing a down reg cycle with increased puregon again - 375 this time.... Hate down reg, but I guess it kinda works for my time frame - was thinking a June cycle... So might start after we get back from Hamilton island ... At next AF arrival.... Probably I think.... Even though weight loss is non existent, I just can't keep waiting.
Glad to hear some of us I here are feeling a bit okay at the moment. As best as we can anyway....
Did I mention that my nephew was born this week (Monday 18th) he has 12 toes seriously... It's cute... Wired, but cute
Myturn, sounds like the FS appointment went very well!!!! I'll be crossing everything for you in your next cycle. Congrats about becoming an Aunty again!! Lol about your nephew and his 12 little toes Cam's second and third toes on both feet (so big toe being number one) are sort of fused half way down, they look so cute! Apparently it's not a deformity but rather a genetic thing he got from someone in the family....not mine me thinks! lol.
Hello to everyone else! Hope there will be another BFP in here soon
Just thought I'd share some amazingly happy news with you ladies. A very dear friend of mine is finally pg!!! I am so happy for her. She did a cycle earlier this year and only got 2 eggies, and one fertilized but then nothing. Then this month she did a second cycle and got two embies out of 6 eggs, and put both in at 3 days, and she is pg with a HCG level of almost 500 I think both of them stuck!!! So happy for her, we were supposed to do a cycle together but of course mine got moved out again. She is only 33 but she's had so many health issues. She is the last of my closest friends to get UTD!

Happy Birthday me. DH organises nothing. Buys me a spatchula from Coles as a joke. Gives me two exact cards with Thank you crossed out and Happy Birthday written in metallic pen. Not even a Mum card from DS. So angry! Present from DS is a facial. Think I might have the facial and then book myself into a hotel for a night!
Tomorrow scans and BT. Last BT showed no change so hoping we are moving towards O by tomorrow.

!!! Vent !!!
Feeling despair. I want my baby. Have been having rough trot ):
DF came to FS with me last Wednesday. All she talked about was my weight, I felt shame & I felt annoyed. I've lost 30 kgs in less than a year & all she could say was you need to do this and you need to do that. It was heartbreaking. I've worked so hard to lose the weight and it's not good enough. I was feeling so proud of myself and was feeling happy and excited because my body is doing what it's supposed to do. The weight lost has triggered my hormones and I get regular AF now plus I feel less depression and anxiety and FS just **** me down. I feel deflated and desperate. It's not fair.
Sorry to moan and apologies for no persies. I have been keeping up with all of you. Just feeling selfy and sooky at the moment.
Hope your all feeling better than I am. Sorry to bring you down ):

Curtsygirl - I have lost over 25 kg in a year and have the same comments from others. It's hard work! You have done an incredible thing! You should be happy and proud of yourself. Hugs.
You both done so well and is wrong for the fs to make you feel that way xx It's not helpful really and some people just have no tact. If my fs was not compassionate I would be looking elsewhere as this is hard enough to go through *hugs*
Myturn - sounds like a productive meeting with your FS. Good luck with whichever way you choose to go with your next cycle. Letting you know we are all here for you xx
My DD was born with 2 thumbs on her right hand. Was so cute! Came off her "normal" thumb just above the joint. Had its own little bone and fingernail. We had her hands & feet bronze cast when she was little & made sure you could see her third thumb as a memento. We decided to have it removed when she was about 10 months old. Her dad was born with 11 toes and his mum was born without a joint in one of her thumbs so we know exactly what side of the family it came from. Didn't show up in any of the ultrasounds, my ob didn't even notice at birth. It was the midwife who picked it up.
Williever - happy birthday sometimes the males in our lives can be such dunces xx
Curtsy girl & williever - what an enormous efforts you have both made on your weight loss journeys. Don't let anyone take away the feeling of how well you have both done.

Thanks JoeSpratt.
Curtysgirl- as of today I'm at 28 kg. catching you ;-) starting to look different now too. It's a long term thing so whatever to the negative ninnys out there x
Ultrasound shows a nice big follie sitting around...... My mind is starting to think about DTD to increase the odds .......... Anyone been naughty and DTD during a cycle?
I always DTD during cycles. With the FET I just figured it increased my chances with stim cycles I figured it didn't matter, but if they missed one, well... It increased my chances... I am quite sure they know everyone does it
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception March 2013
so im thinking of phoning the clinic just to see what we need to do in prep to start ttc again and use our frosties. I started by saying I would start organising when Spock is 1, but now I want to be ready to go and activly start then. I know ill need a new gp referal (never understood that seen as its dh is the 'broken one' ) would he need a referal too? plus im thinking if it will take a few months to get an appointment. ..
sticky baby dust to all!
just have to go with what feels right at the time i guess. 
seriously... It's cute... Wired, but cute 
Cam's second and third toes on both feet (so big toe being number one) are sort of fused half way down, they look so cute! Apparently it's not a deformity but rather a genetic thing he got from someone in the family....not mine me thinks! lol.
