Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception May 07 #3

Hi BW - sounds like you need a break from the chaos. At least you don't have another bloodtest for a couple of days. At my clinic they use OPKs in the lead up to a FET. Do they do bloods for you because of PCOS? At least you will be getting nice accurate readings. And now you know the prednisone is OK - and your GP said the anti-biotics are OK, so i'm sure they are. Relax tonight and take it easy. I wish we could help ease your stress some other way. Maybe you could have a long bath? Screw the drought - it's for your health and well-being!

Sonya - you must be relieved to hear that your body is playing along with all this. Now all you need is a super-sticky emby and you'll be graduating in no time!

Chez - I found great comfort in my 'bit-of-paper' from my nurse with everything written down with dates and doses on it. I had it on the coffee table and DH used to look at it too, to make sure we were on top of everything. I am a control freak with a touch of OCD though - so i need to check and double check or panic sets in!!

I never saw boy from oz, but i thought Hugh Jackman was just delicious in Scoop with Scarlett Johansson. Potential serial-killer, who cares? He's lovely!

BW - you're just having a crummy week this week - i'm so glad you've managed to get some good news with the prednisone being ok'd, and not having to go back to the clinic til sunday - woo hoo - more sleep tomorrow!

Chez - good luck on getting going hun - i'd be sure to ask for reasonably close monitoring if this is your first time on the meds - would hate for you to be under or over medicated!

well i'm feeling worse again! i honestly thought that i was doing better yesterday, but i think i'm having issues with the booster shot - i feel like some big burly bloke has sucker punched me in the tum - but only on the right side! it's weird! and it's not consistent pain - just kinda sneaks in there when i'm least expecting it! i'm also feeling more queasy today - so i'm guessing that WHEN we get a BFP i'm gonna be one of those (un)lucky ladies that is really affected by the hormones and gets nasty morning sickness! oh well, it's all for a good reason... have just gotten home from work, in my jim jams within a few minutes and now sitting on the couch feeling decidedly blergh - such is life!

how am i supposed to wait another 9 days (minimum) before testing??? how is the TWW even CLOSE to fair?!?!

Hi Girls..
BW - sorry I'm so far behind in what's going on but...are you aware that under occ health and safety you can apply to be moved to a 'safer' work environment due to the fact you are undergoing IVF etc...I'm pressuming you are working in the state system...your Doc will need to write you a letter...could be worth investigating...I'm looking at it for my own situation at the moment!!!!
To everyone else...forgive me for being short...has been a horrible day...waiting for mc or D&C on wednesday...hope you're all travelling better than me today (self indulgent boo hoo...sorry) xxx

BW works in the private system.

BG Sending you the controller so you can fast forward to your test day sweetie

Ellie you dont need to apologise for anything especially considering everything, I hope everything can go well consider the situation. Sending you loads of hugs.

Im still keeping an eye on your girls even though Ive been MIA for a while. Finally updated my journal.

Good Evening

BW - So sorry to hear work is going crappy! Sounds like a load of rubbish to me what is going on and i hope the infection clears quickly and FET goes perfectly!

BG - Good luck honey hang in there!

Hi Summer good to see you popping in

Kotare - How are you going?

Ellie - Good luck honey huge hugs coming your way!

:hello: to everyone i missed!

Well full on week here.... went and saw acupuncturist on tues who told me pretty much it will be a miracle if i fall pregnant with all the stress i am under at work and i need to quit my job... hmmm i was only staying at work because i have 4 weeks Annual leave already and would make maternity leave easier and i am good at my job... so i went home and applied for a few jobs... feeling a bit angry at the world that we put life on hold hoping for this baby and then 2 failed attempts later and 3 years i am angry and decide im not putting life on hold forever what if we never get pregnant? so anyways not expecting anything i get a phone call yesterday do a telephone interview and then go in for face to face today.. and it went fantastic! less stress YAY! and 10000 more money BIG YAY! and they want me to meet one more manager but unless that goes horribly wrong i have the job..

So i know nothing to do with ttc but REALLY nice to be happy about something that has nothing to do with TTC.. i kinda feel more like Shannon again...

and i was excited and had t share with my closes BB buddies!!

Thanks for listening :)

yay shannon - sounds great hun!!! a change sounds like it is definitely on the cards - good luck!!

Finally back from acupuncture and feeling a bit less strung out, stressed and frazzled. And I have warm feet! :)

Talking things through with DH and we think a lot of my anxiety is from the letrozole. We thought back to when I was at this point last cycle, and in DH's words, I was "interesting" then. I also remember that it didn't ease until I'd ovulated, so I can look forward to being "interesting" for about another 7-10 days. Hopefully now that I'm aware of it, I can deal with it a bit better. It's not so much panic attacks, just that when something a little out of the ordinary happens, it throws me, and I don't adjust. I can then spend the rest of the day running around in circles because I can't adapt to things.

As for the work situation... my colleagues in my work area have all banded together very strongly - none of us are in this alone, we have a lot of support and encouragement in this. I'm still miffed that my integrity has effectively been questioned, but everyone is working together and the union will be involved if we can't fix things ourselves. It's taking careful planning, and we are all going to sit down and write statements of what's happened, what's been said, what we recall of everything. It's basically getting to cover our backs stage. I suspect a lot of us will walk at the end of the year... hopefully for me it will be more of a waddle. :p

Summer, it's good to see you pop your head in again. You have been missed, and I'm very much looking forward to the day you come back and join us again. Enjoy the time relaxing and stress-free - as you can see, it doesn't stay that way when you get things underway!

Shannon, I guess both of us need to reduce stress! Nobody has said my stress levels are that bad just yet, but I do have a lot of people working to keep mine down. It's great to have supportive work colleagues who understand what's at stake for me! The new job sounds fantastic, though! Hope it works out for you.

Ellie, I can't believe you are still in limbo! I'm certainly praying really hard for a positive outcome for you, but I can imagine that you just want it to be over either way. uncertainty is so hard to deal with! Unfortunately, I'm in the private system so we don't have a lot of options. The actual day-to-day stuff isn't too bad, the one toe-rag student who made my life miserable has been withdrawn from the school this week (was great to go back after being off sick to discover that!), it's just the extra stuff that's going on... and hopefully we will have that resolved soon.

BG, the fact that you are getting worse with the booster shots is probably an indication that it is a bit of OHSS. I had to use half the trigger dose to keep the levels of HCG in my system down - if yours have just been raised... I hope it resolves quickly and my OHSS suspicions are unfounded.

Jo, I think the blood tests are just the way my clinic likes to do things. They say the use OPKs for cases of inconvenience, but I find they stress me out something horrid! I'd rather have the bloods done and drive for a couple of hours before work and know everything precisely than to POAS and have to guess at things myself! Seems every clinic does things differently! I've now got a progesterone pessary (just one!) in the fridge that I'm to use the night before transfer, and I've never heard of anyone else having to do this! I wonder how our FSs would feel about knowing we all get on here and compare notes...

A nice long less-stressed post from me for a change! Enjoy it while it lasts! :p

BW

Hi girls

Shannon - well done on the job interview and congrats on being successful (lots of positive thoughts coming your way). I keep telling myself I have to take control of my own destiny because no-one else will and it looks like you are living proof of that concept. Well done you!

Kotare & BG - thanks for the advice. I spoke with the nurse this afternoon and she gave me all of the info over the phone. Apparently because she has done that they will not send out a letter, but I am thinking now that maybe I should ask them to send out the letter anyway? What do you think? I am a little OCD as well and a bit of a control freak so know exactly what you mean about having something to refer to. Anyway, will think about it overnight and check in again tomorrow for opinions.

Chat again soon.

Cheryl xx

BW - yay on the less-stressed you!! i hadn't really put the letrazole thing together (your DH is a smart man) - but when you think about it, you were getting a little frazzled about this time last cycle - at least now you have a fair idea what's going on and you can be proactive about it! hope you're wrong about the OHSS (weight is fluctuating a little, but that's nothing unusual for me, and tummy girth is much the same - if anything it's a little down on a few days back) - but i'm thinking the booster shot is somehow responsible for the fact that i got worse today - oh well, such is life!!

Chez - so long as you keep a record of days and things for injections, it should be all ok - we were given a treatment sheet for every cycle - and i went home, put it in a folder - and then wrote all the dates in a diary anyway!! - take the treatment sheet to appointments (only cos it's easier to have one piece of paper) then walk out and transfer it all again!!

Thanks, BG. Usually with things like this, when I'm aware of them, I can work with it a bit better.

Ellie, I'm so sorry. This will teach me to post before I've read everything and make myself look like an insensitive clod! I'm so very, very sorry for your loss. :hugs:

Chez, I'd be asking for the letter, too. I somehow seem to stumble through with all my information on little scraps of paper all over the place... and text messages on my phone! It helps that I'm mathematical enough to calculate how much puregon I had left in each cartridge without too much thought, but I know everyone doesn't work that way. It all seems a little daunting at first, but you do pick it up very quickly.

BW

and chez - when you start with it all - you'll usually find one of us online that can help if you need it!

Thanks everyone for your replies and your support. I feel much more comfortable asking the "dumb" questions to you all than I do picking up the telephone, but now that I have spoken with the nurses they do seem very friendly and understanding. I am still trying to memorise all of the drug names and brand names that I have at home! I am going to ask for the letter anyway, that way I can be certain I am doing the right thing. And thanks for the advice about the treatment sheet - I am starting to feel like I need to get myself one of those PDAs so that I can cross reference my treatment schedule with my DP's travel and work schedule and all of the other things that we make commitments to each week! Still, it will all be worth it in the end.

Have a great day everyone and chat soon! :D

Chez - don't worry about asking questions hun! we've all been there done that - and wouldn't have gotten this far without everyone elses support!! and no question is "dumb" - so don't feel that way! - also, dont feel bad about asking your clinic any question - you're the one paying the bill...!

well, having a bad day again - was in a meeting with my surpervisor today and ended up getting offered a half day off to make up next week - must have looked pretty bad! having a quiet one this arvo then going to bro's place for dinner - he and SIL know what's going on, so i can curl up on the couch if i feel crummy, and no one will say boo - think i'll take my blankie and just relax - bro and DH get along so well that it's nice for them to get together - they'll spend the night in the shed watching footy, and SIL and i will kick back inside! at least we get a roast dinner - much better than the chuck together meal we would have done at home!

thinking i may have atouch of OHSS - but nothing as serious as BW - am just trying to ride it out for now... hve had a bit of weight fluctuation but nothing too drastic, and my tum isn't getting any bigger (well, not since i started measuring on tuesday - who knows how it compares to pre trigger shot - nurse never told me to measure back then!) - from what i can gather, apart from drinking lots of water and taking it easy, there's no spcific treatment - so i'm not going to stress too much - i just wish i could take something to settle my tummy down - i hate running back and forth to the loo all day! - but i'm trying to do the right thing by the bubba i'm hoping is taking hold in there...

BG...sorry to hear you're having a rough day...sounds like tonight will be much better...hang in there...thinking of you and sending lots of sticky vibes your way xxx

Ellie - i feel kinda guilty whinging about how i'm feeling when there are others like yourself who've gone to hell and back lately! hope you're doing ok hun

BG...don't be crazy!!! Everyone's 'bad days' may be different but they are still BAD...and with all the pressure this journey puts on us it can make a bad day...a really BAD day...if you get what I mean? I feel guilty because I'm doing so well today? I've realised that I've been grieving for a week or so already...first the denial...yesterday was the sobbing...last night was the angry...now acceptance of the fact there is absolutely nothing I could have done or can do...I just hope I don't sound heartless...we will have our baby...just not yet...but I know when it does happen the timing will be perfect...so please keep sharing...it's good to know others are dealing with the 'stuff' the universe keeps throwing at us...united we stand hey!!!!

Hi all,
Ellie, you are an amazing person. I hope i can show and ounce of the strength you have over this journey.

BG - ekk - i hope you don't get any more OHSS syptoms and take care of yourself this weekend.

Well you can read on if you are bored - here goes my story...
FS says that there are 3 possible explanations for my hideous last cycle. 1 - it was a random blip (think BW's law of probability explanation to Mel). 2 - my body hates the drugs (think BG and the synarel problems). 3 - i have bad eggs.
So we are going to work through the options in that order. First i do another full Stim cycle with down reg, just like last time. If it was just a random unlucky cycle, then hopefully the next one goes better. If not, we move to option 2 in which case we try a flare cycle - nice and short, no pill, no synarel (like you Lou?). If this does not work, then we move to the dreaded option 3. Not sure whether i'll cope with the option of 'bad eggs'. Ahh well, one step at a time. I am considering myself very lucky that i am getting to move straight on to the down reg part of the cycle straight after the last stim cycle.
I asked FS about the ICSI possibly damaging the embryos, but is apparently not an issue anymore these days.
I asked also why i appear to be on a low dose of GonalF compared to others. He said this is because he would put a PCOS person on a higher dose as PCOS can negatively affect egg quality. Therefore if they use a higher dose, they get more eggs, and hopefully in the end the same number of good quality eggs. He said my age (even if i feel old!!), my previous history of response to Clomid and the last GonalF cycle, and the fact that my endo is almost all gone, should mean i have the same result from a lower dose than other's have with a higher dose. I hope that made sense. It has taught me not to compare myself with everyone else all the time!
He also told me if i want to i can use Lucrin instead of Synarel. I haven't decided yet. I know Synarel works (maybe too well!) but i hate the nasal spray. I'd rather inject myself, but I am scared to try something new, in case the cycle is a bust again, then i'll blame myself for messing with it.

Well, that was a long long story. I just needed to share with people that understand. It would sound like mumbo-jumbo to anyone else!!

Wishing everyone a great weekend. :hello:
Jo

Jo, I'm glad the FS has made you feel better about things. I really, really hope you don't get to option number 3! When it comes to the choice of synarel and lucrin - I've done both and would pick the lucrin again every single time! Apart from the fact that one didn't work and the other did, I found lucrin gave me lots less side effects. Even when you take the sinus problems out of the equation, the headaches from synarel were just BAD, but the lucrin ones were a lot milder. It's also only a once a day thing, much easier to cope with. It is of course up to you, but if I were in that position and had to do the same thing again, I'd be trying to change what I could to see if that gave us a better outcome.

Me... just tired, cold... and haven't had a single anxious blip today at all! May have just been because it was a quieter day, may have been the fact that I now know what causes it. Still pretty stressed out with unpleasant work situations and seriously contemplating taking some time off from work around transfer... I'm sure I can talk my GP into giving me some time off work due to the stress I'm under there and the stress of the IVF cycle... What does everyone else think?

BW

Jo - i'm so glad you were able to get some options - and head into another cycle without a long wait! at least there is a solid plan in play - and that you only have to deal with either option one or two!

BW - glad you had a somewhat better day today and are coping with the anxity things now that you know what's causing them. i think you have a fair chance of getting a few days off work - just print some of your posts off here and i'm sure he'll see the stress your under!! enjoy your sleep in tomorrow morning - and rest up ready for the dreaded BT journey on sunday morning!

Ellie - thank you. i guess i hate it when i'm feeling mopey and there are other people in a worse situation - makes me feel like a sook! but i also know that every person is at a different point in their cycle - and what may be affecting me now can have the same impact as what another person is going through - that is physically worse - well, something that would seem a lot worse to the outside world anyway!!

well - dinner with Bro was nice, but i was so ready to come home early - i just can't seem to get comfy at the moment - if i'm sitting still then have to move, i feel all crampy and like i have to run off to the loo! ah well, such is life. Bro was making jokes about the whole IUI process with one of our friends that was also there - explaining in terms of farm animal AI - and as horrible as the analogy sounds - it was really funny conosidering we're country bumpkins that have spent a bit of time on farms and stuff! am loving being back at home now though, and relaxing on the couch....

Hi all,

Will be back later to catch up but have just got up out of bed, .....Ah to feel like 18 again and have a real sleep in. hehehehe but DH has gone to work and left me with no milk for breaky, and thinking toast would be an option no bread!!duf.

So im gonna take the dog for a walk while im at it and get a few thins down the street. just hoping it doesnt rain til i get back.lol

Jo just wanted to send you a reply
Do you have PCOS? sorry just typed out all my stimmed cycles and then re read your promis to yourself not to compair to others all the time.lol sorry but i hope you feel you can ask what ever you need.

I think they 'sould' be able to tell you if your eggs are a good/not so good quility at collection or fertlisation?

GL hun

BG - keeping everything crossed for you xxxxx

Lou - that's just wrong! how can your hubby leave you no milk??? hehehe

hope you enjoy your walk, hun, and don't get caught in the rain (we've got a glorious day today so i'm thinking i'm safe from the rain for a day or two!!)

Well being a tipical Londoner i took my jumper and jacket and then half way to the shops stripped off to my t!!!WTF with melbourne weather, neighbour said Oh it wont be looking like rain for a while,hahaha. Great so now i look like a real plonker walking a dog, carrying a jumper and a jacket fit for Everest .lol Txt dh and he phoned and couldnt stop laughing. ive been here 5 years and still cant get weather or traffic right (still on London time with traffic too and arrive 1hr + early ALL the b!@@$y time.lol

BW i forgot to add that Mac told me that there would be less of a change i could get OHSS with the antanagist protocol. did he not explaine that to you?


Sorry just googled the extra shots of HCG that you are having and realised that this is what can cause the OHSS!! how many of these are you having? wonder if i should have asked mac for some?
Oh didnt get any milk by the way so had breaky out.hehe

i was told there was a fairly high chance of developing OHSS cos i had to have high dose of puregon - and more so this time around cos of the fact that i've been on and off the meds a few times this year already. if i've got it, it's only mild and i just have to deal with it - i haven't had the stereotypical effects (thankfully) - just crampy and upset tum, feeling nauseous and queasy - but i'm sure i'll survive!

Do you have PCOS? sorry just typed out all my stimmed cycles and then re read your promis to yourself not to compair to others all the time.lol sorry but i hope you feel you can ask what ever you need.

Funny you ask. I was told i had PCOS when i lived in Ireland and i went through a shocking phase in terms of cycles and health. I was very upset and although i wasn't TTC then, i felt there was an obstacle ahead for us. Well, thankfully I don't have PCOS. I do have endo through! But most of that is gone now.

:

I think they 'sould' be able to tell you if your eggs are a good/not so good quility at collection or fertlisation?

---

That's what i thought, but he said no. It took getting them fertilised and then watching them, in order to see if they are good or not. Well that's the impression he gave us. Maybe there is a way of checking their quality, but it might only be done if we got to stage 3. I don't know. There was a lot of info, and once again we walked out and thought of more questions while we were in the car!

BW - i think that asking for time off is not a bad idea. It's not that you necessarily will need it, but if you get a +++, then you'll never ever regret taking the time. - I will have a discussion with my ovely nurse about Lucrin. DH is keen on me not using Synarel. Apparently i complained a lot!!

What a glorious day it was in the city today. We wandered around like tourists and enjoyed a sunny winter's day. And no talk of IVF etc - we remembered what it was like to be 'normal' people!

yay on the nice day in the city Jo! i so miss feeling like a "normal" person sometimes!! this whole TTC journey can become overwhelming sometimes, can't it!

good luck getting answers to your questions hun - is horrible walking out and having that little chat where both you and DH go "now, what did that bit mean?"LOL

Lou - had my second (and thankfully last) pregnyl booster shot today - woo hoo!!! it was the first one to actually hurt with the stuff going in - which was really weird - i think with everything that is going on with my body at the moment, i probably just tensed up, but at least it's the last one!

well - only 6 more days til we do a HPT - left it up to DH to decide when we'd do a home test and he's decided day 14 sounds good! i have been struggling with the tww big time - all i want to do all the time is pee! if i move (even if it's just the angle i'm sitting at), i need to go AGAIN - and it's driving me insane - i've realised how deperately boring our bathroom is after all the time i've spent there lately!! oh well - i'm holding onto the hope that it is a really good sign - just gotta hope my bladder behaves tomorrow at work - there's only somany times you can toddle off to the loo during the day before people start to wonder....

hope everyone else has had a great weekend!

I had blood test number two today. And I don't need to go back for another one until Tuesday. The closer I get to transfer the more scared I am. I've been worried all day that we may have missed ovulation when I was left for three days without a blood test, but a friend of mine just pointed out that the fact that I'm still anxious would mean we haven't missed it yet.

I'm feeling more and more convinced about taking time off... current plan is that as soon as I'm told a day for transfer, I'll make an appointment with my GP. I was talking with the nurse at the clinic today about everything going on at work - I might ask them if they can arrange a medical certificate for me.

BG, I hope the bathroom trips ease up soon! It sounds awful!

BW

hi BW - sounds as though you're on target for a similar O date to last cycle - which isn't a bad thing for you considering trying to time the end of the tww to coincide with school hols!

i'd be going to the GP for the time off - the clinic can only really give you time off based on what they are doing - and FET isn't a big deal in terms of time off - your GP will be able to see the bigger picture...

enjoy your relative sleep in tomorrow hun!

*groan* You had to remind me! :rolleyes: Just gotta remember - it's all for a good cause!

BW

every step of this whole process is for a good cause (apparently) - still feels crummy a lot of the time though!

Hi,
I've just joined this chat site... and l'm so thankful that people have recommendaed me join to this chat room. And its so nice to here people actually giving you support without even knowing you personely.... thanks its really uplifted my spirit..

I've just had my first embryo transfer two weeks ago and l'm going for my blood test tomorrow... l was going so well with no signs of getting my period... last night l had some discharge whilst l was out with my husband at a restaurant... and all l wanted to do was go home and cry .... Today (sunday) l've still go alittle brown discharge and a little spotting of red..... Has anyone had these signs before their blood test ??? and does it mean that it's something bad - that the embryo hasn't stayed.... i dont have nyone to talk to about the symptoms ect... to watch out for. My nurse has said that even though you may have some bleeding - you still have to have a blood test... can you still be pregnant ???? or will l most likely have a negative result...can anyone shed some light for me...

I guess the sleep deprivation is good training for motherhood... I just wish I could have blood tests done locally, but I guess the difference is results in a couple of days as opposed to results in a couple of hours. Tuesday will be day 17 and ovulation occurred on day 20/21 last time, so hopefully not much longer. I know they are testing for estrogen, progesterone and LH, I guess it just depends whether they only want to see the LH surge, or they want to see progesterone starting to rise as well... More questions that I'll probably be too asleep to ask on Tuesday morning!

BW

time for organised BW to kick in - write a list of questions hun!!

hi babyface - i think i mentioned to you in the other thread that it's possible that bleeding may be related to impantation - so don't give up hope! good luck with your BT

Thanks so much for keeping my spirits up.....

I'm hoping that the spotting and discharge doesnt mean anything... fingers crossed

i'm scared that we only have one embyro frozen and seven eggs that they fertalised and only two took.... and l'm praying that if l have to use my other embryo that it survives the thaw process..... then l have to go through the process again and l dont know how long one has to wait until going through the process again..
thanks again for replying

hmmm... organised... novel concept! I don't think I've got it in me at the moment.

Babyface, I wish I could help! But you're a long way ahead of me. I was reading somewhere that IVF pregnancies tend to spot a lot - I don't know how true it is, but it seems to me that all hope is not yet lost. Good luck with your blood test tomorrow!

BW

thanks butterfly worrier.....

If you need any info on anything about the process and what l've gone through, as l take it your starting out....
I would be happy to chat..

its great that l've found this sight and maybe in a little way l can pass on helpful info and also maybe help someone else...

I'll keep posted on my outcome of tomorrows blood test.

Good Morning

Babyface- good luck with the blood test today! :crossfingers:

BW - Good luck honey and definately see the GP for some time off!

BG - How long left in the TWW! It sounds very promising!

:hello: to everyone else and good luck!

Well we see the FS on Friday morning, should know about the job by then so we can plan properly.. should be interesting!
I am also totally confused i have PCOS and usually AF is every 35 - 120 days and then yesterday i get AF exactly 10 after the last AF started! Arghhh and whats worse i keep thinking i should have gone for the blood test after the FET cycle... then i wouldn't be so worried now! Why does the body have to be so complex!

DH is devistated we booked a holiday for about 10 days before AF would arrive.. and now our holiday is in 31 days... :wall:

Hope everyone has a great week!

Shannon - that's a huge bummer with AF. Sometimes i read the post from 'you lot' with PCOS and i really do think i am lucky. What a headache. Being a 28 day girl is soooo much easier and i never ever appreciated it before. Funny what we learn to love about ourself during this process!

BW - any ideas from your clinic about possible 'green-light' time for you? Depending on your relationship with your FS/clinic, they may be happy to sign you off work for a while. They do understand the psychological and physical strains that you can be under. Otherwise your GP will be happy to help, i'm sure. I'm getting excited for you - let's get one of those little frosties off the ice soon. I had to laugh that you were referred to as B-Worrier! Let's get back on track with the B-Warrior!!

BG - not too long to wait now! No-one took me up on my $10 bet!! Get yourself over to the pg after LTTTC thread, so that there is someone to welcome us when we arrive!

Babyface - GL. All is not lost yet! I hope you get some great news soon. You asked how long you had to wait between cycles - if you do a 'natural' FET then you probably wouldn't even need to sit out a month, they might start straight away. But at most you only have to sit out a month - that's not too bad. But positive vibes that you get a BFP before then and don't even need to think about your next cycle!!

Just watnted to say a big good luck to babyface for today - I'm crossing fingers for you.

I have posted a bit on other posts (melbourne IVF first timer) but wanted to say hi here too to everyone. I have 1 embryo transferred and waiting blood test in a few days.

good luck to everyone !!

Hi Runnermum,
I'm with MIVF too and i really like them (I have been with a different clinic before). Hope you manage to make it through the next few days without going too crazy!! GL!!
Jo
