jane - hope you get some good news in preparation for the FET hun
Hi Lovely ladies just poping in as i dont know how myuch time i will have over the next few days, 30th birthday party, market then staff meetings next week. hoping it can take my mind off the last few days in this TWW!
im still testing every day and even though i wake up and say im not going to do it today as quick as a flash im on the loo peeing on a stick.lol
BT wednesday and an very up and down on how things are.
keep your chins up girls there have been a lot of BFP around lately and every one is getting closer to your turn, thinking of you all
xx
BG - Bummer about having to work on your birthday!
Lou - sounds like a busy weekend/week coming up for you! I'm going away on Tuesday overnight, so will check back in when I get home to see how your B/T went. Hoping for a BFP result for you :)
Nic
Thanks nic. i will post as soon as i get a BFP on a hpt. im attending a staff meeting on Wednesday night can you believe it just the place i want to be either way!huf
Good luck Lou...thinking of you...looking forward to a BFP!!!!
Hi everyone,
Well, just went in to have the ET done. We found out that from 14 follies, we got 8 eggs, 2 were immature, 6 fertilized and only one made it to today (day 2). I was pretty devastated. I know that we got one out of it and i should be thrilled and excited. I am now paranoid that there is something else wrong with me other than endometriosis. Why else would all my eggs be dodgey. Unfortunately, seeing as it was a saturday, i was seeing the on-call doctor, not my FS. The on-call guy was not great on the personality side, but he did say that the results were very poor and we should definitely book in to see our FS in about 2 weeks to get some explanations. Needless to say i walked out to the lifts and burst into tears. :cry: :cry: Every doctor and nurse we have seen so far have been so positive and we had such high expectations.
Oh well, sorry to be a sad sally. I know i should be happy enough. This poor little emby inside me has a lot of hopes pinned on it. Testing is the day before DH's 31st birthday.
Hope everyone else has a great weekend.
Jo, I'm so sorry to hear the results weren't what you were hoping for. :hug: Did you have ICSI? Our FS was talking to us about how the actual ICSI process can damage the eggs as they can't see where the genes are and could be injecting into the wrong part of the egg. He also mentioned something called a polscope which helps them see things better so they damage the eggs less. So it's not certain that there is something else apart from the endo, it could have been the ICSI itself, and I'm assured that it can be overcome. I'll be praying that your one super-emby will be all it takes, though! :pray:
BW
Thanks BW i will jot down what you have said - the FS is going to get a barrage of questions next time we meet!!
Hopefully tomorrow i'll emerge from my teary fog, and start cheering on the 'super-emby'.
Good to hear, Jo. Meanwhile, I'm sure there'll be stacks of us cheering on super-emby! Maybe it takes after spider man and will be nice and sticky... :)
Sorry, getting a bit silly here. Really am thinking of you, and I hope my current silliness is bringing a bit of a smile to your face rather than making me look like an insensitive git.
BW
Jo i have crossed everything in hope that the one little embie is a sticky little fighter!!! good luck hun and my best wishes...
Jo - so sorry to hear your news hun - i have my fingers crossed that you have one super sticky embie on board. you'll have a lot of us praying for you this tww
lou - bummer about the meeting on Wednesday night! what horrible timing! hoping you get some news before then anyway!!
as for me - nothing happening on the ttc front atm - waiting to finish the provera tonight, then hopefully the witch turns up very quickly - we initially thought we'd be going for first u/s tuesday or wednesday next week - with a bit of luck we MIGHT be starting our injections - i know it's only a week behind where we thought we'd be - but i seem to have had lots of short set backs lately - i just want to get going at long last!
ok, self-involved whinge over! time to see if i can wrestle the austar remote off DH and put something other than footy on the TV
Oh Jo, how disappointing. I'll put out the sticky vibes especially for you tonight. I've read some lovely stories about everything pinned on the one emby - please offer Jo some inspirational thoughts! Wishing for a great birthday present for DH. Good Luck
Loula - you are such a trooper!! Hang in there!
BW & BG - here's hoping things take off nicely and your'e down to business soon!! Waiting is the worst bit, I know
Hi Sonya, ATT, nic, Megan..and good to see you around Melbel
I know I've missed a few so big :hello:
Going bonkers in our house!! :pray:
only six more sleeps till my BT!! no more cramps, just really grumpy. Dh thinks its coz i not on synarel and puregon my body is re adjusting. trying not to get too excited, but cant help it!! if this time doesnt work i will be devastated but at least i have 4 snowbubs to think about.....
I'm kind of new here - I just wanted to say congrat's to Shaz and her DH. I read through your journel and you two have certainly been through alot!
I hope everything goes well for you both!
I live in Adelaide and I was just wondering if anyone in here is going to Repromed, and if anyone has ever had IUI before? Thanks
Hi Karena - and a big welcome - really hope your stay here is a short one
i'm currently going through the protocols for IUI - i'm kinda worst case scenario with respect to not responding to meds dues to the severity of my PCOS - i'm happy to answer any of the questions you have in regard to IUI.
good luck on your journey - i really hope it's a short one!
Thanks brigg's... I just read your journel - what a nightmare! I feel so sorry for you. I completely understand how you feel about friends / family getting pregnant! Just recently DH came home from a poker night and announced that friends of ours, who only just got married in Dec and who werent 'interested' in trying because she didnt want to get fat - is pregnant! I was devastated. Its the first time I have ever cried on hearing 'that' news. Anyway - I guess we all just have to concentrate on what we are doing!
I will be starting the injections on day 5 of my next cycle - which will hopefully be the 14th or 15th May. Im not using the nasal spray which I think you used - I wonder why? Im nervous that I will 'over' react to the hormones and will get to the u/s and they will cancel the cycle - not sure how I will cope with that?? Fingers crossed for a good result though.
We had to sign a document on Wed to say we wouldnt sue if we got preggers with twins - did you?
Lots of emotions hey? What if it doesnt work? What if it does? What if it does... with twins...? OMG - a real roller-coaster!!
i karena - we haven't signed anything that we wouldn't sue if we got twins - i think if we got twins i'd be the happiest person in town! both DH and i want a bigger family, and going through this roller coaster too often would do my head in
you may not need the synarel nasal spray - my understanding (and i may be wrong) is that they use the synarel for people who don't get AF regularly rather than waiting on AF to arrive for the prime starting time - if i'd waited for AF to arrive naturally, we'd still be waiting - haven't had natural AF in over 18 months!! the synarel puts you into a medically induced menopause and then they use the puregon to drag you out of it - if you get regular AF, they don't need to do it because you have predictable AF and hormone levels. HTH
i'm now waiting on AF so that we can get started - and i'm getting very impatient...
Hi and welcome, Karena. I'm starting to think that me and BG should have warning labels... Caution: This person is a worst case scenario and is unlikely to be any indication of your experiences with assisted conception. About right, BG?
Yep, still in a silly mood - must be the whole absence of pain thing. :D
BW
i reckon that might be my next tattoo "warning - the person defies scientific explanation!!"
i think i'm definitely in the "worst case" scenario for the response (or lack thereof) to the meds - but hey - the girls here on BB have helped to keep me sane through the whole thing, and i've managed to keep a sense of humour, so it can't be all bad!!!
karena, i should have AF start in the next 3 days (fingers crossed) - which will put me maybe a week ahead of you - so hopefully i'll be able to keep you updated on what to expect (or not to - considering i defy scientific explanation!!)
well - if anything good can really come out of all of this... it has to be that we are all going through it together! which is kind of nice... ill keep you posted... let me know how you go too!
thanks BW for the welcome!
and dont worry - ill be sure to join you all on the rantings and ravings when my AF starts... and ESP when i start the injections - ill be a nightmare! haha poor DH! :lol:
Hi Karena - you'll be fine..you might even be surprised with how well you cope with everything! :)
BG - hope AF turns up for you soon (I hate saying that!)
:)
Hi Karena,
Welcome aboard! Never did IUI ourselves, but i think it is a far kinder option to your body, so thats good. You might find that you cope really well with the meds. I honestly did really fine on them. Hardly any problems, and in all honesty i rathered the injections to taking the nasal spray - no kidding! The injections are fine.
Good luck with it all, but be careful - posting here can be addictive!
hi karena
i found i was pretty good on the meds but i let all the girls on BB take credit for that. because i could ask anything and vent or stress or cry with any of them it helped me release my feelings and not bottle them up until i exploded...thanx girls!!!
addictive jo? hmmm, maybe that's what hubby was im[lying the other night when he was dancing a jig in fron of the TV while i was shutting down the computer.... hehehe - if this is the biggest addiction i've got, well, i've not really got an issue!!! BB is my thread of sanity through the whole rollercoaster!
Karena, Jo's right - the injections are really simple to do, they don't hurt (well, maybe a small sting, but nothing dramatic) - and most of the time (from what i've heard) the biggest discomfort is the niggling ovaries and the bloated feeling (we'll see what happens this time around - i'll definitely keep you posted!)
Only a few more days til BT Lou - how you feeling hun?
Hi ladies, I think this thread is going the same way as me at the mo. there are many mixed emotions that i picking up today
Jo - i know how you feel when you get thoes great numbers them they slowly (or quickly in may case) dissapear to a fewer number. My embrologlist (sp?) told me that my one blastie for this cycle (out of 9 thawed) was a little slow, and i was like well is there any point! made me feel a little down. but im hanging in there and i hope you are feeling a little more lifted today sweets.xx
Sonya - only six more sleeps woohoo thinking of you, have you caved in and tested a HPT yet? im still doing them everyday.lol im going bonkers too.
Smudge - when is your BT?
Welcome karena. i hope your stay is short (i mean that in the nicest possible way!)
BG - looking forward on you starting your next IUI, hoping this one is the one hun
BW - hows the relaxing weekend going?
Summer - i hope you are OK i miss seeing you around hope you feeling better.
Megan - missed you too, well done for selling the house i hope you got what you wanted. Have a fab holiday where are you off too?
Hi to every one.xx
I'm doing really well, Lou. Enjoying the quiet time while it still lasts, I think the stupidly early morning starts and blood tests will start again all too soon. Convinced DH to go shopping for a new matress, and we both can't wait until it arrives! Otherwise, I'm just enjoying sitting here being able to obsess over my chart and finally (I think!) be confident that I may actually have ovulated just for a change!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend too... I know those blood tests are going to be rolling in thick and fast very soon, and I'm keeping myself pretzelled for you all.
BG, any sign of AF yet?
BW
Sounds great BW. i bought a new mattress two years ago, paid $800 and we both hate it!we are thinking we might put the spear back on.lol as we have been in the spare all week.
My gF is a teacher so i know its comming up to report time, gl
Yep, report time is happening right now. We've had one set of reports due as soon as we got back this term, half yearly exams start on Monday, which means piles of marking and reporting... I was only thinking of the busy time of my cycle coming up, hadn't even thought of the busy work time coming up! I guess I'll have to try to get things done as quickly as possible so that I can still have time to rest when I'm cycling again... this isn't going to be fun!:cry:
BW
BW - i think you've already been through the hardest part surviving the OHSS and still coming out of it sane and (mostly) with a smile on your face! you'll get through the next part - even if you do fee like you're on auto pilot some of the time!!!
Lou - i agree with the cheap mattresses not being real good - we looked for ages for a cheaper but still good mattress when we got our bedroom suite last year (well, we'd been looking for the bedroom suite for a year, so the mattress was part and parcel of the searching!) - we ended up getting one worth over over $2000 for our mattress, but i love it! (and cos we bought it as part of the suite, we saved hundreds!)
well, i'm having a reasonably relaxing sunday - DH's nieces are visiting, and they're harrassing the cats big time - all i can hear is giggles as they tease them with the toys, screams when the cats jump to get them, then giggles again once they get over their heart attacks! it's cute, but very loud! i'm so used to having to tell my little niece to put the cats down, that having kids that border on scared but wanting so much to be around them is quite amusing. time to give the cats a break and drag the kids out to the garden for a while i think!
ETA: no BW - the witch hasn't shown up yet
Smudge,
Good luck with the test tomorrow :crossfingers: :crossfingers: :crossfingers:
Hi Everyone
Just wanted to wish Lou and Smudge all the best for BT this week...fingers crossed for you both.
Hope everyone else is doing ok in the dreaded TWW...hang in there girls...lots of sticky vibes xxx
Hi Ladies
Just thought i would pop in and say hi..
Smudge - Good luck with the Bt tomorrow :crossfingers:
Lou - Good luck this week too honey how is the HPT going?
Well we are transferring tomorrow morning. The embryologist rang this morning to say one hadn't survived.. so that leaves us with one if it lasts through the night.. pretty devastated and did lots of crying. Im not really very positive that the 1 embryo FET is going to work... so we start saving again for another ride around the merry go round!
S
Oh Shannon...I hate those phone calls...good luck tomorrow...let's hope this little one sticks...hang in there...I'll be thinking of you and sending lots of positive and 'sticky' vibes your way xxx
aw shannon - that just sucks hun - i wish there was something i could say to make it better - am sending lots of growth vbes to that remainging embie - and hoping it's the healthiest, stickiest embie around for you - good luck hun
Smudge - fingers crossed for you for tomorrow hun! have you done a HPT yet? i don't think i'll have the self control to NOT test before the BT when we're in the TWW!!
Shannon - im so sorry for your news hun, hoping that TF will go ahead tomorrow and a speedy TWW for you xx
HPT havent shown me what i want yet(yet!!)
OK another update
BB are really saggy, REALLY. Loosing all my hope i know what this means
Lou, i really hope you're wrong hun.
Me too, Lou. :hug: I hope your boobs are just being sneaky...
BW
Thanks BG and BW. think i might phone the clinic and ask for an earlier BT but dont really want to as wednesday is 4 years in our house and was hoping that was a good omen!
Surley the HPT would be telling the truth by now and the embrologilest wasnt hopeful with this embie from the way she was talking on day of tf.
Just hoping that it really slow rising
i have heard of girls getting a BFN and it still being a BFP but not as late as 15DPO! which is what i am today. i will be 18dpo when i get my BT, y have they left me with such a long TWW? evil i say
i knew when i was getting symptons that it was too good to be true. maybe i shouldnt have doubled my P4 with out talking to my FS first but i was sure that he would think it would be OK i mean i did that with another cycle b4
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i just want this. i dont want to have to cope with another cycle
Great mum just phoned, havnt spoken to her since weekend b4 my tf as she was going away and although she has been back for a week shes been busy. so i just tell her not to tell my brother ANYTHING as befor Tf he phoned me to tell me what he thought of course!! which was i should just have a break, WTF whould he know!! he upset me so much, and just talking to mum has set it all off again..........
Just told mum that i dont think its not worked again and now got myself all upset, dont want to talk, dont want to be here
Just to add its not like i see any family i mean there all in bloody London and so when i do speak to them i wouldnt mind it to be pleasent
I would have thought my brother would understand i mean his wife has been very sick with graves and stuff and hes 37 and thinking hes not going to have any children but is fine with that, im sorry i just dont get it
