Jo - Goodluck with the interview tomorrow, and B/T on Friday :)
BG - Woohoo for your body responding!
BW - Sorry to hear how things went this morning.. how is your DH?
BIG Helloo to everyone else.
Me - I've started spotting and expect AF here in the next day or so. Going to get some OPK's for this coming cycle, one last ditch extra effort before visiting the FS.

Hi everyone!! :) Back from our holidays. Had a lovely time in Darwin, even though they are still experiencing some wet season weather so it was hot and very sticky!! Thank goodness for air con! ;)
We got back yesterday morning after an awful flight that left there ar 2.30 in the morning. I slept like a log last night....for 15 hours! lol
I have had a quick read through to try and catch up with where everyone is at, but don't think I could manage personals...there is so much going on!
Lou, just wanted to send you a big hug....your BT result was the first thing I looked for when I logged on last night. I don't know how you manage to keep going.....well, I guess I do because I'm not going to stop any time soon but I know it's hard. Feel free to PM or email me anytime if you feel like you need an ear. :)
No news from me on the TTC front. I think I am around 2 weeks away from starting my next stim cycle so I guess I better think about calling the clinic and getting things organised. It's definitely time to get back on the rollercoaster, but I am feeling good and ready for it after a good break.
Good Morning Ladies
Just thought i would pop my head in and say that i am out of the race thsi month AF arrived overnight.. so now i have exactly 27 days to come up with $$$ to go again! Feeling blah but a lot less emotional than last time oh well personals later.

Oh Shannon...so sorry hun...thinking of you xxx
Oh Shannon, so sorry that AF arrived. :hug:
Megan, great to see you back :)
Me, I'm back to CD1.. I was kind of expecting it, but at the same time I kind of wasn't expecting it either IYKWIM?? Anyway, last cycle before FS visit. AF should be due a couple of days after our appointment.
Nic
shannon - sorry about AF arriving. good luck with the next cycle.
Hi Girls
Just popping in to say hi ...hope everyone is having an ok day...there's so much going on...goodluck everyone xxx
megan - welcome back hun - glad you enjoyed your holida and have come back refreshed and ready for your next cycle - good luck hun
shannon - so sorry AF arrived hun.
i'm feeling pretty ordinary today - not sure if i've picked up a bug or whether i'm having a bit of a reaction to the antagonist med - have been queasy and upset tummy all day - and my joints are all sore - kinda flu-ish iykwim? i'll get over it i'm sure - but it's been annoying the hell out of me today! have also got a cold sore and inflamed glands in my jaw - i guess it doesn't rain, it pours around here!! my little niece decided to headbutt me in the mouth yesterday, so i think i know how the cold sore started... i'm still in a great frame of mind though - even after having to do injections at work, so i guess it's going to take a lot to drag me down!!
Hi all,
:( So sorry Shannon - AF knocked on the door this morning for me too. Now i really really wish we had some snowbubs. It would be easier to take than going through all that cr*p again so soon.
Welcome back Megan. Good to hear you enjoyed the break.
Sorry to hear you aren't too good BG, but as long as your mood is still so positive, then that's great to hear!
Thanks for everyone's kind words. My job interview went well, and i am pretty excited. I was the only person being interviewed (they need 2) and she seemed keen to get someone going soon. So hopefully i hear back this week. I felt like a normal person for the first time in a while - Although when i put on my special 'job interview' suit, i realised how much weight i've lost lately. It looked a size too big! AARGH. I don't need to lose weight - i'm only 58kgs now, and i'm 5ft8. I used to always be 65kgs. The stress is obviously getting to me!!!
Obviously a bit sad that spidey-emby didn't stick, and my plan of telling DH the best news of his life on his birthday is also out the window. But he never really held too much hope - the next cycle can only go better i'm sure!!! No tears even, just looking forward to the next FS appointment in 9 days time.
sorry to hear that AF arrived Jo - she's not a particulalry friendly visitor. sounds like your interview went well - fingers crossed that you hear back with some good news very soon
Jo...sorry that AF arrived...well done on the job interview...can't wait to hear the good news!
Jo, sorry that AF arrived. Hope you hear back about the job soon :)
Nic
Oh shannon and Jo - im so sorry girls. holding your hand all the way through your next step with you both. PM me when ever you want
Megan - ive missed you! How great to get away i would love to go to Darwin (never been). you were one of the first people i met when i joined bb, you sound great and ready to hit that roller coaster with me. xx
Jo - so glad to hear that the interview went well and hoping you get the good news soon
BG its that time of year im affraid and sound like you need a early night weekend with a good movie, go the jim jams hooray.
BW how are you feeling today? hope you and DH areOk?
well af is still lingering but we have our appointment with our FS on Friday and DH is coming with me so that will hopfully be anice day out.lol (no sneeky shopping trip on the way home.lol) I am however getting my hair done in the afternoon which will make me feel human again
Hi to allxx
jim jams have been getting a work out since about 5 - and i'm thinking i might crash early tonight. have already had a nana nap (DH's fault - he kept stroking my hair til i fell asleep!), and still feel useless - DH cooking dinner at the moment, and i'm guessing by the time McLeod's Daughters finishes i'll be ready for bed. have early mornings tomorrow for work and friday for u/s- and i'm guessing saturday will be early for IUI - so roll on Sunday mornings sleep in - and god save the person who wakes me up before i'm ready - i'll shoot them!!
good luck for Friday Lou - fingers crossed for good news for both of us!
Hi Ladies!
Just a quick hi -
Shannon & Jo, I'm so sorry:hug:
Hoping you guys are ok, and the same for your DH's xxx
Megan - Glad to hear you're back and ready to get back on board again!;)
BG - I always, always get a cold sore every cycle of IVF, and with all other fertility drugs as well:doh:
On our 2nd cycle (1st one with a transfer) I was very excited to get one in the 2ww, as I got one in the 2ww when I fell pg with Luke... No such luck so far, must be something to do with the big boost of hormones into our bodies!!!
BW - On the weekend, I went to a tea house for a tasting day to buy some tea for my Nan for Mothers Day... during the tasting, they had different "tea experts" talking about the benefits of different teas for different ailments.
They had a speaker on "Nettle Tea" - Apparently it worls miracles for those people with rheumatiod (excuse my spelling if its wrong!)arthritis, and other similar conditions... I'm sure you've heard about it before, but I thought of you when I was there, and thought it was worth mentioning!!!
To everyone else, a big Hi!!
Hope you are all doing great... not much happening here, AF arrived Monday, she was due Mothers Day but spared me (Not usually so nice, is she??!!!)
Just counting down the days till we fly to Melbourne & see Antonia for a new take on our journey!!!
We see her 2 weeks from today, so not long now!!!
Much love to everyone!

Holly, I hadn't heard of nettle tea before at all. What does it taste like? I may have to look into it, as I really don't want to be on prednisone longer than I have to, but the other drugs aren't safe in pregnancy. Although, that does bring up the question of whether the nettle tea is safe in pregnancy, too.
I'm feeling about as tired as BG by the sounds of things. I had another bowen therapy treatment last night. I do feel wonderful afterwards, but as my body is sending so much energy towards healing itself afterwards, I tend to crash really early. Have spent tonight marking, reports are coming all too soon... have acupuncture tomorrow night, and then my parents are staying for the weekend, arriving on Friday night. At least I'm not yet doing the daily blood tests for the transfer! After being extremely light for the first few days, AF has decided to start being feral - heavy, clotty, fortunately not very painful. Took my first letrozole tablets tonight, so now I really do feel like I've got the FET cycle underway!
Jo, Shannon, I'm really sorry to hear that AF showed up. :( Wishing you both the greatest success next time round.
Really must wander off to bed now.
BW
Nettle tea is great BW...I have some each day with some BCP (a digestive blend) tea as well. Nettle tea is apparently great for TTC as well has some sort of iron and other stuff, my naturopath put me on it...it is a bit bland on its own but with say a peppermint or something with flavour is great.
I am so so sorry for those who have had BFNs while I have been away that so totally sucks for you all.
I am sooo so glad things are on the up for you this cycle BG I have my fingers firmly crossed for a positive outcome this time.
Well, I had my laparoscopy last week as planned, ended up with three cuts (great!!) so have been a bit sore and miserable for a few days. They also did a dye hysteroscopya and took a biopsy of the uterus at the same time to cover a few bases. Apparently I have beautiful ovaries and uterus but i had endo on both ovaries. My FS explained that studies have shown that any amount of endo no matter how small can affect the quality of the eggs and also the fertilisation and implantation of the eggs. They have done animals studies that have shown some really remarkable anomalies occurring when endo is present (apparently it produces some sort of fluid stuff). Also studies from a few years back when you couldn't freeze eggs and any extras were donated to other people have shown that those eggs that came from a person with endo did significantly worse than those from a "normal" person.......quite scary really.
Anyways they got it all so no more endo. I went today to get my stitches out and get the result of the biosopy and that was all clear so my FS had told me to go and buy a tatts ticket cos it is a jackpot this week and we might win some money for another cycle..hehehe...everyone thinks they are a comedian:rolleyes:
BW - I have to go to the bank tomorrow, and the tea place is next door... I will get the info they had on the weekend for it and post it on here tomorrow for you.
The person talking about it said great things about it & also referred to fertility too, so I would imagine it is safe to use during ttc & pregnancy.
I wish I had paid more attention now, but I just didn't want to be a know it all!!!;)
I was thinking about buying some for myself at the time for ttc, so I will be all stocked up with info for you tomorrow!!!
Good Night Everyone:bedtime:
Love Holly
