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...

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.

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** · March 27th, 2008, 03:35 PM

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.

Thanks TL and Carla, I'm feeling a bit better now... just having a bit of a "poor me" moment (which I hate!).

TL its great to hear that you are recovering well and getting ready for your cycle. I'll be

that this is your time.

Carla I am so so so happy for you. That is great news about your levels. It gives me so much hope.

Saph, I haven't had a chance to say that I'm sorry that this cycle wasn't your time. I will have my

that the clomid helps you along this time.

I will let you all know how I find tomorrow.

Janie x

**saph204** · March 27th, 2008, 08:52 PM

Hi Carla so glad everything is going fine. I am day one today so will start taking clomid on day five or six depending on when the script gets to me in the post. and then wait for the old mucus change and go for it. Really it is just keeping me in a cycle and gives me a chance to concieve. But most importantly I dont have to have all the scans and BT.

I am a really big believer in fate and because we dont want another christmas baby I was sure this would be our month, didn't want to miss out on that but couldn't do the travelling for the scans. Round trip it takes me three hours and my son screems the whole way and I get home thinking why the hell am I doing this who would want two screeming kids. I know for those ttc #1 you would give anything for the screeming child and so would I that is why we are all here. For number one two or whatever. Well there is all my sentimental blah.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

the hardest thing about TTC is the expectations from other people, i was TTC since Feb 04 and found out 2 weeks ago i was pregnant. I was ready to give up and it was really upsetting my husband, but u need to stay positive and all good things come to those whom wait. I am really excited to have my 1st ultra sound tommorrow but i am so sick with MS @ the mo, its not fair in every way.
Keep yr chin up and dont give up
