Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - May #2

[Lily Dust]

Hi Ladies!!

I am very excited, I only just found this thread- bit behind the 8 ball, I know

Anyway, just wanted to say hi to everyone and wish everyone all the luck in the world with your cycles.

I am looking forward to becoming apart of the belly belly forums now that I have found the place I need to be!

Again all the best girls and I hope your dreams all come true really soon

Saph and JBM - I am with Bel - GO acupuncture!!! I had before and during pg with my DS (2 prior m/c's). I also went back to try and induce labour. Was supposed to have 3 days of treatment but went into labour the same day of my first treatment. TTC #2 this time around I skipped it for our first 2 IUI cycles purely due to lack of time for appts. Decided I really needed to make time after both cycles failed and next cycle (with acupuncture), got pg with our twins. Sadly we did lose them but one had trisomy so can't really expect acupuncture to help there. I am now going as often as instructed and talking whatever foul herbs my doc reccomends. I just want to know I am doing everything possible to get pg and get a bubba to stick

Angel- welcome back on board the TTc rollercoatser! That longing just doesn't go away so here's praying we all get what we want ASAP!

Bel - what well behaved little embies!! Lets hope the twinnies keep behaving and you don't need your frosties for quite some time.

Tigger - the dreaded pill! Hope the next 17days goes quickly and you can be back into the more positive part of TTC very soon

Lily - Welcome. I hope you stay here is very short but sweet!

Not much to tell for me. Just jabbing away and praying that time would go a bit quicker. Everything with TTc just takes so long. Or maybe i'm just getting more impatient with age!

Bel - hope your little blasties make themselves at home

My EPU is tomorrow morning, starting to freak out a bit, just praying that we get a decent number of eggs.

[Bel]

Evening or should I say early morning all!!

Thanks for all your kind words and support. It means a lot to me. I'm still lurking here to check on you all.

Bec- all the best for EPU. Will be checking uo to see how you go. You'll be joining me in the TWW soon!! I hope you too get lots of well behaved embies. Look after yourself and drink lots of water.

Hugs Bel

Afternoon All,

Well I slept in today after my 2.30am bedtime last night..CRAZY!! My DH is a night owl so last night I was too.

Bec- Hope all went really well today and that you got a good number of eggs. Rest well today, drink plenty of water and look after yourself. I'm praying you have a much better cycle this one than last. Thinking of you sweets.

Janet- Thank goodness nasty AF has finished. Now you can move forward and get going again.

Have a great day all, I'm hovering between here and the TWW thread.

Hugs Bel

Well, had ET this morning at 11:15 am. The one they picked was already starting hatching and I got a copy of the image. They also said 3 more were good for freezing and 2 more might make it. So I think it's a good day after all. I guess I'll go over and lurk in the 2WW thread and hope the Friday the 13th blood test is a happy result.

And the same doc who did my EPU did my ET and I told him of my suffering and bloating--he said digging around into 20 follicles would be traumatic and he was surprised I was in as good a condition as I was. Thanks for the warning doc. I guess if there has to be a next time, at least I'll know what to expect.

Fingers crossed to see everyone in here come next door soon!

transfer is at 1.45 tomorrow so cant wait just that my little ones make it
thinking of you all just to anxious for personals bit excited here

[Bel]

Smithy- All the best for tomorrow. I'll see you in the TWW thread. You and your little ones will do fabulously. Have a good sleep tonight if possible...me I can never sleep before TF.

RustyBeth- See you in the TWW thread. Big congrats for today

Hugs Bel

[~BecD~]

Thanks for the wellwishes I just got home from the hospital and the EPU went quite well. We actually ended up with 20 eggs -17 mature eggs and 3 immature which they will do IVM on also. The complete opposite of what was expected but am very happy. I'm really sore and nauseus but hopefully I can sleep that off.

Should get a call tomorrow with fert results and transfer is looking good for Sunday

Hi BecD
Congrats on the number of follicles collected!! That is fantastic
I was wondering are you with FSWA? I am transferring my current Clinic to FWSA and my appointment is with Dr Hart. I have heard some many good reports of this clinic. What I like is they have alot more services available then my current clinic. For example IVM, PGD etc

[~BecD~]

Hi Nat - Yep I'm with FSWA and am pretty happy with them. There have been a couple of glitches along the way which at the time I wasn't happy about but on the whole they have been really good to me. The main thing is that it is small still and you get to know the nurses and other staff, Steve Junk is great (Scientific Director). My FS is Dr Yeap but Dr Hart has a great reputation so I'm sure you will be fine with him. Also another good thing about FSWA is that they don't bill you until after ET which means for me we can put it on our credit card and then go straight to Medicare and get the money into our account within a couple of days - makes it so much easier!

[NAT025]

Hi BecD
I like that I dont have to pay for services that haven't been proformed as yet. I could just imagine the interest that my clinic would make by making everyone pay all up front. Can you please tell me a little about IVM and what drugs you were on this cycle

[Bel]

Bec- Fantastic numbers!! It's all been worth it. Praying that your little ones go well overnight. Rest well

Night night all

Hugs Bel
