I've missed part of the last thread somehow. Will try to catch up later.
BG - replied in your journal. LOL at your kitten going through your bag!
BW - Your GP sounds nice Hope your sinus infection goes away ASAP!
BIG hello to everyone else, so very sorry for my lack of personals ATM. We have a pretty full on week this week. We have a couple of deb practices (DD is a flowergirl for it) plus I have to clean this pigsty up before my mum arrives on the weekend, plus DH's grannie, who just loves to point out how much DH suffers and I don't! Plus I hurt my back last week and am just getting over that so am trying not to lift anything too heavy.
This week will give me some nice (and not so nice LOL) distractions, then my DH is on 5 days off, which always fly by, back to work for 3 days, then he does 3 nights and finished the morning before our FS appointment. It's going to go so fast!
Hi Everyone... its been a couple of days since my last post - I was looking after my 18 month old god daughter for the weekend. It was definately a 'big' insight into what it will be like to have a little one around the house!!!
Anyway, YAY BG - im glad the txf went well - I hope it 'sticks' and you are celebrating soon!!
Im at work atm and I am having a half day today - so I just wanted to give a very self absorbed update...
I have good news too - I am only a couple of days behind you BG - I have my txf this afternoon . DH should be at the Dr's as we speak doing his thing! I had a blood test on Sat morning, they made another appt for me to go in yesterday morning for b/test and u/s. It was really good news yesterday - I have one giant follicle in my left ovary - so, they rushed my bloods through and gave me the trigger injection there and then! It all happened so quickly, I am still trying to come to terms with it all!!
Im worried though, that because everything seems to have gone so smoothly up to now - that something bad is going to happen!!
Good luck to everyone else... I hope there are a whole bunch of BFP's in here in the VERY near future!!!!

yay Karena!!! good luck for this arvo - hoping everything goes smoothly for you!! it might seem a bit rushed, but that's not necessarily a bad thing - waiting is the worst part!
i've been feeling really ordinary last few days - i have IBS and it plays up at the weirdest times - am thinking that the antagonist and trigger meds might have given me a decent flare up - apparently the way i'm feeling is not entirely consistent with OHSS (spoke to the clinic this morning) so just need to keep an eye on things and see how i go. spending the morning culred up on the couch in my flannie jim jams under a blankie - will go see the GP this arvo just to get checked and be on the safe side...
BG - Yay! I am so glad that you have got to the stage of being in the 2ww, even if it is closer to a 3ww.
All the best and the stickiest vibes, hope the time passes quickly!
Kotare - Sorry to hear that you need to down reg again
BG - Congrats on the IUI !! Lots of coming your way! Good luck in the TWW!!
BW - Sorry to hear about the sinus infection and good luck with the FET
Karena- Good Luck with Transfer!!
Nic - Sounds liek a busy week! Good luck with MIL!
and a huge to everyone i missed!
Well i have been a little MIA still dealing with last BFN, didn't go in for Blood tests yesterday because i didn't feel like it! I see the FS on June 1st and we will probably have another break before going again in July, Dh really wants a break and i know we need it but it all just sucks! I just feel really blahhhh so need to get my life back on track and try agian in July i think. No promises though.. i chnage my mind every 10 seconds!
I see the acupuncturist tonight so hopefully i feel better!
BW - how are you? Thought with you resting up today, then you'd be lurking around in here...
BG - cross fingers that you are feeling crappy from the meds and not from the dreaded OHSS. (actually cross fingers that you weren't feeling crappy at all!)
Karena - yay for you. Sometimes moving quickly is a blessing - less time to worry and stress. GL!
Nic - didn't know your DH was a shift worker too? Is he FI/FO? Sometime i think it's annoying, but othertimes it is a great lifestyle.
Shannon - Are you doing a FET next time? It sux that you are feeling a bit blue. Our clinic insists on the BT, so i knew from the start that i had to go in regardless of the outcome. Still seems like a kick in the teeth though. Especially sitting in the waiting room, wondering which one of the other ladies in the room has a BFP. Hope you feel a bit more ++ after you see the FS in June.
Feeling a little bit better today, the antibiotics I've been put on are kinda strong! But my GP's theory was that there's at least two weeks before transfer, so I should be off them before I can be pregnant, and as the eggs were produced ages ago, they shouldn't effect anything at all.
But... I'm still feeling guilty because I haven't told the clinic. I also haven't told the clinic about the prednisone, and I think I should... but I'm scared that if I do they'll have a fit and cancel the cycle. I feel like a naughty kid sneaking around behind my parents' backs!
Generally just eating far too much chocolate and pretending that I don't have reports to write...
Hope everyone is feeling well - or at least better than me!
If it makes you feel better BW I am a naughty kid too. I have a crazy rash on my back and chest and tummy and i have told no-one except DH of course. I'm just 'head in the sand' hoping it goes away. It's been 4 days now. Hope it doesn't mean anything serious! I am adamant nothing will hold me up!!
I do believe that the anti-biotics will do you only good. As long as you are off them before FET.
I counted very carefully - even if I need the repeat course, that's 10-11 days on antibiotics. Started day 9, so should be all done by day 19-20 at worst. That's when I ovulated last cycle. If my body decides to ovulate on day 14, I'll then be transferring around day 19-20, but I'll have enough warning to not take the second course then. I really couldn't do anything else! I've been taking huge amounts of garlic tablets but they weren't really doing anything. My hot flushes seem nowhere near as bad this time around... partly this is a good thing, partly I'm wondering if the letrozole will work this time.
I hope the rash is nothing serious, Jo. You probably should get it checked out... But I can certainly understand the mind-set - there's NOTHING going to get in the way of me getting to this FET!
A big thanks to everyone for your well wishes!
BW - I hope you feel better soon... im sure the antibiotics will kick in like they are supposed to!
BG - what did the GP say this arvo? What is OHSS (sorry - I should probably just check the FAQ)... should I be looking out for it??
Kotare, Shannon22 and ATryingTime - thank you so much for wishing me well!
I just wanted to put up a quick post about my txf that I had today! It was my first one and it was quite daunting! The Nurses were really nice though, so that was a big relief! It was so strange when they asked me to cross check all of my details against DH's sample - I started freaking out that they had got it mixed up!!! I hope that NEVER happens to ANYONE!!!
Anyway, it was fairly quick and quite strange! It didnt really hurt, as much as it was uncomfortable. When she had the catheter in - they both told me to start thinking positive thoughts.... all I could think was - go boys go!!
I didnt go back to work - just went home and put my feet up and watched movies! My BT is on 7th June - I have to have the Luteal Injections this Sat and next Tues... I hope they dont hurt as much as the booster!
BG - when do you have yours??
16 days to go!!! Im going to have to seiously find something to do to keep me occupied!! The next 2 weeks are going to DRAG!!!!
Karena, OHSS is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. A hellishly painful and horrible condition that results from levels being too high, too many eggs being produced. Basically fluid leaks from your ovaries into your abdomen. I had it after my stim cycle, so bad that we couldn't transfer. I was off work for three weeks, and still quite wobbly when I did go back in that 4th week. Not something I would wish on anyone!
The antibiotics are working pretty quickly. It would be just my luck to go and get thrush right when we're ready to transfer!
Hey BW - thanks for that!
Gosh - that sounds awful!!
Hey - make sure you go out and get some natural yoghut (if you havent already) - works wonders for when you are on anti-biotics... trust me! I am an anti-biotic QUEEN!!!
Everyone I work with has a cold atm - I am trying SO hard to stay away from them...
After my IUI today - the hardest thing for me atm is knowing what I should and shouldnt be doing!! I asked the Nurses and they said to just carry on doing what I do - but I just dont want to do anything to jeopordise having a BFN. I started with a Personal Trainer at the gym about 2 weeks ago - I have 2 sessions a week - I have been trying to lose a few KG's to hopefully help things along. Do you think I should still do them? I have taken this week off because I wasnt sure when my txf was going to be - now that I have had it, I was thinking of starting again next Tuesday??? Its a very self indulgent question - sorry - but its been playing on my mind something cruel!!
BW - good to hear the antobiotics are working. I know i should see someone about my rash. I know. But i am willing it to leave me alone. It is looking better - honest!!!
Karena - TWWs are hard, but exciting times. As for what you should and shouldn't do, i think it's a really personal thing. Some people want to take it really easy and be very calm and not do anything too strenuous. Other's just carry on as they normally do. I pretty much just do what i normally do in terms of exercise. And of course i am cautious about not eating uncooked eggs or deli-meats (i don't eat seafood anyway), and i had one tiny glass of wine in the last TWW, but i felt really guilty! Look after yourself, and GL!
Karena - we were basically told we could live a normal life but not to do anything too strenuous that might jeopardise things - no heavy lifting, no heavy exercise (where the heart rate is getting high!) - but not to put life on hold cos you still need to live iykwim?
Jo - hope the rash isn't anything serious - i completely agree with the denial factor - it's easier to say "there's nothing wrong" than to accept any negative impact to a cycle!!
BW - i'm sure you'll cruise through the antibiotics and be doing great in a few days - and feling much better for your FET.
as for me - well, i have decided the GP is useless! She told me i probably just have gastro and to take it easy for a few days - inevitably, i probably DO have gastro - but i mentioned the IUI and all the drugs and effects - and she had NO idea i was talking about! she was more interested in following up on old stuff than what i was going through today - so we're back to just keeping an eye out for OHSS on our own - meausuring girth and keeping an eye on my weight...oh well - i have tomorrow off, so hoefully a restful day will help a bit (i refuse to get out of my jim jams unless it's an emergency!)
Hey Jo, yep DH is a shift worker, not FI/FO though, luckily he works locally, home every night, or morning depending on shift LOL! Makes it hard TTC though, I'm hating the thought of showing the FS our temp charts, especially when there is no BD while he is on nightshift! Hope your rash goes away asap!
BG - I should have a day like you tomorrow! Will be thinking of you chilling out in your jimmy jams
