Just a reminder to all: all LTers love seeing a fellow LTer achieve that longed-for BFP, and we all find hope in one of our own having success in this difficult journey. But please remember that there are those who cycled with you who may not have received good news at the end of their cycle. Please do not post baby/child/pg tickers or pg related signatures (eg blinking BFP icons) etc in this forum out of respect for them.

As it's easy to forget to remove your ticker, please be advised that we will remove it for you if it's posted in here. Just easier, is all.

Hi Ladies,

Just a quick hello.

Welcome Janet & Natalie. I hope you find this as useful as I have had. For abreviations try; https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-acronyms.html

Congrats Carla!

Here's my latest; they collected 8 eggs on Monday(couldn't get to my right ovary), 6 were mature & 5 survived til yesterday. This morning they said that 2 continued to divide overnight. If they survive tonight they're planning to do the transfer tomorrow as they don't think they'll survive til blastocyst. Oh well... either way, we've survived our first cycle. Here's hoping...

I seem to be always clicking on a new thread with you ladies..... talk talk talk talk......

Miss C.... Thank You, once again, for your information. It looks like we will Pick a FS based on recommendations so thank you to every one who sent me details. From there we will be trying IUI.I dont think however it will be in the near future.... DH and I will be having a bit of a break from TCC..... all good... should be fine and dandy again in a few months.

Hugs to all and good luck

[tiggerlinda]

Lou - Good luck with transfer lots of people are PG on 3 day transfers sweet
AB - Good Luck with making the decision.

to everyone, i'm still trying to remember names. anyway i think the idea of not bragging about BFP is good, but i suppose when you've been trying for so long it would be hard not to be excited, maybe post it in new pregnancy.

Izzylou : yeah i printed out the abbreviations help and i've used it a few times, and i am getting used to it slowly. i hope your 2 eggs go well, are they tranferring both ? i'll be doing my first ICSI cycle soon either start injecting in 8 days if af come on time or will be doing next month. i'm so impatient and hoping af comes on time so i can start soon.

Well after my devetating BFN i vowed to never do this again, well it lasted two days. Af arrived last night, We are having a break but and here is the but I am thinking if they know why it is not working and are not just going to continue experimenting like my 25 days of injecting puregon before trigger then I may continue this cycle will have to decide today I guess. My thinking is that if I have a cycle off what if this was they cycle that it was meant to happen. Does this emotional rollar coaster ever stop.

[tiggerlinda]

Saph - Good to have you back for you. Sweet a break is what you may need my FS and AP intervened on me and I know 6 mths was hard But I feel better now and excited about this next cycle

[Carla MP]

Hi Ladies
Saph I think Tigger is right..........its always so hard to figure out what the next step is, you want to go again but yuou dont becasue your so scared of another disappointment...its too hard. Thats how i felt through the whole process.....you need to be good to yourself too......

I had my BT today to check my levels, a little nervous but whats another emotional day huh? We all seem to do that quite well now dont we.

Im still here to talk to if anyone needs me.....I have everything crossed for everyone..I really do.

[saph204]

Well i spoke to the clinic who gave me lots of great options but have decided to have an untracked clomid cycle, so no BT or Scans or other drugs. but still a chance to conceive and will continue with a cycle so I dont have to start from scratch again. Good news was that I have been ovulating so i guess that is a start.
Anyway i just wanted to thank you all for the support I now i must seem mental but as you all know this is an emotional time.

[*Paula*]

Saph your are not mental at all..... We are all going through this emotional time and we all completely understand how hard making decisions can be. Best of luck for this cycle.

Hey Carla, let us know how you go today? Im sure your levels are rising at rocket speed.

Well nothing happening with me.. Just waiting waiting waiting. Feeling very calm and positive. Obviously i cant wait but im not stressing about it.

11 more sleeps to go

[tiggerlinda]

Saph - Not mental take a look at my blog and see where my head was at when my last cycle did't work. Sweet the emaotional bit is all part of the process
Paula - Good luck with the wait great to hear you are calm
Carla - nice to have you sticking by.

Me getting life insurance quotes today for DH. And online shopping. Not long to go now till I start the new role and our next cycle very excited and happy. Also been have some Dejavue with things I have dreamt coming true and felling like baby is near.

Sprinkling some around for everyone

[Janie71]

HI everyone,

Don't want to bring everyone down, but just feeling a bit upset. My younger sister who wasn't even trying to get pregnant is now 12 weeks along and has been for scans today. She has just sent me a text saying that they have heaps of photos and even one in 4d. Am I a bad person for wanting to cry instead of feeling happy for her? Is it wrong to feel so jealous?? I am having difficulty thinking about seeing the photos, I even have difficulty hearing her refer to "her baby" and not to mention the fact that they are now at the stage that they are going to tell everyone. That means I will have to cope with all those questions "So when are you going to have a baby?" I feel so selfish and mean.

Tomorrow is our first appointment in preparation for the move from OI to IVF, but as I am doing a down regulation cycle (21 days on pill starting on day 5) and will be waiting around 10 days for AF to arrive this cycle, it is going to be around 36 days before everything is really starting. It seems like such a long time to wait. I really am just feeling so down today.

[tiggerlinda]

Janie this is the toughest part of TCC and I went through it with my sis. However somehow you do manage to find the resiliance to smile and be happy. But don't worry after seeing my nephews at christmas time I still got in the car and bawled my eyes out so hang in there.

Congrats on becoming an Aunty

[Carla MP]

Oh Janie...Im so sorry you are feeling so down....It s hard to be so happy for someone else when your going through allthis. Does your sister or anyone know you are going through these cycles.....because if not you cant be angry at them for this....Im sure if she knew what you were going through she would have softened the blow a little. Sweetie try and be happy and feel positive....feeling negative isnt going to help YOU with anything..as much as it upsets you try and enjoy this with her...your turn will come sooner than you think. I went through all that too with my best friend..god it hurts....BUT...your not selfish at all.....its hard seeing other live YOUR dream too.......

Saph.....thats good news huni..............when does all this start........ Oh how exciting...........

The clinic called me just before........my Hcg levels are rising beautifully...my progesterone is great and everything is going really well. They want me for another BT on Monday then a scan two weeks after that. I will officially be 5 weeks UTD on Tuesday.
