MrsP, you've got to stop copying me! My transfer this time was really unpleasant too. I knew I was in trouble when he said "I'm just going to use this instrument to hold your cervix". Reminded me of my HSG...
Mitf, GL with your anaesthetic. I had my first ever when we did IVF#1 in Nov last year and I was absolutely terrified of how I might react to it. In the end it was a walk in the park. I was so relieved when I woke up that I burst into tears. I hope yours is similarly easy.
Wow, this is a busy thread now! We're taking a break for the next month after a BFN from our first transfer IVF cycle. But we have 5 in the freezer, so looking good. Keeping positive anyway.
I have to say, after having agreed to a month off with DH, that as day 10 (when I would usually have my first ultrsound to check lining etc) comes around I'm itching to get back into it, but have "let myself go" after the bad news a couple of weeks ago, so have to kick the ciggies (again ) and get back into the healthy eating before we go with an FET. So I'll be back in here as of the end of the month I suspect Will be lurking until then!
Mrs P & Juniper (the twins)- to you both. I hope that your 2WW is not too draining.
mift- GL with the anaesthetic. It really scares me too. Don't worry, it will be over before you know. The worst side effect I've had is nausea. Doesn't last too long though.
MissK- That's sounds very promising! Have you got your results yet??
Sorry girls, Have been very busy lately... I've been helping to organize my God Daughter's Christening ...
Sounds that we have some good news here! Good luck for the new TWW girls!!!
Today I had an app. with FS and we planned our FET. I'm on Synarel at the moment, waiting for AF to start the estrogen pills. FS will just book transfer once the uterus lining is looking good, if everything goes as planned it will be by end of June!!
B2B - well done on your eggies. GL with the transfer - hope you get a great b'day present soon!
Krikkit - GL with your 1st IVF, mine is coming up soon too. I hope it works out 1st try for us both.
I was on Puregon and Pregnyl with IUI and didnt really have any hassles with them - found them fairly easy to inject etc, only thing was they gave pg symptoms which was a bit annoying.
Mrs P - GL in TWW, will have for you that you get BFP. I hope the wait doesnt stress you out too much.
Miss K - very exciting. GL and all the best!
Sandygirl - GL today, hope all works out and you get a BFP very soon!
Juniper - GL in TWW, hope you don't go nuts. All the best for a great result!
Mitf - GL with your Lap and Hyst. I didnt find them too bad, a bit of back pain after waking up but that went after about 8 hours. The anaesthetic freaked me out a little but it wasnt too bad.
Meo - Sorry again about your BFN. Take it easy and have some time out and we'll chat again soon.
Esperan - all the best for your BFP to come very soon.
Sorry If ive missed anyone.
AFM - Just waiting for IVF #1 towards end of July. Taking the pill at the moment which seems very strange to me. Have the counselling appointment on 11th June.
Waiting, waiting, waiting and getting nervous and excited!
DH and I are about to go through our fourth ET. Have 12 frosties, which is fantastic, but I'm a bit worried that I've had a few chemical pregnancies that are yet undiagnosed. We've always been treated for male infertility, so it concerns me that no one has been particularly interested in my fertility. Having said that, I don't have any history, come from a big family, am healthy and young...should probably focus on the positives rather than on the endless possible negatives!
Had my first scan on Friday, which was Day 10. Next scan will be next Wednesday, Day 15. I don't expect to get the surge until Wednesday or Thursday, which means ET will be next weekend some time.
I'm doing acupuncture which is lovely, and am being extra-good with my supplements and eating. I've also cut out a lot of caffeine in the last week, which I'm really proud of. Have replaced tea with chamomile, and coffee with decaf. I'm trying to think positive and keep having spontaneous visions of myself holding a baby (does anyone else find themselves doing this?). But of course I am soooo scared of it not working, or ending in early m/c, like last time.
Anyway, I have an essay to write, and have got the sniffles today ...wondering whether it's Piggy Flu, as I live in the heart of the flu suburbs in Melbourne...Should go get some rest.
Well I'm off the TWW thread with a BFN. Anyhoo, I have bounced back pretty well, considering one friend just gave birth to a little boy (1st IVF), and another is starting to show (1st IVF)!!! So AF reared her ugly head 2 days after BT, and it was strange because I usually go for about 5 days. This time it was SUPER heavy but only lasted for 3 ???? Maybe my endo was no good . Well, because I have no frosties its a full stim cycle, EPU 7th August, begin pill Sunday. I think I'm cycling with Lionfish again. I must say though, tonites bottle of wine was FANTASTIC!!
Well the Lap & Hyst went well on Friday. The aesthetic wasn't too bad, quiet a surreal experience. It felt like seconds between closing my eyes in the theatre and then waking up in the hospital bed. It turned out that I had been out of theatre for about an hour! I am recovering quiet quickly, actually doing a lot better than I had expected. I have some bruising and discomfort but that should clear up quickly. DH has been fantastic, dotting on my every need......he even cleaned the floors!!
mellmell - sorry to hear about your BFN. It seems it is the time for babies. My husband and i just had 3 friends have 4 girls born in 4 days (1 set of twins). I hope you dreams come true soon and have better luck with your BFP this time.
Mrs P and Juniper - GL with the TWW. I hope you are managing to keep your mind busy!
Sandygirl - I hope your BT& ultrasound went well.
Persephone1 - I hope you are felling better soon, particularly before and your ET.
I haven't really had time to catch up on everyone else's movements, but wishing all the best at your various points in treatment.
Okay, so the procastination is getting out of hand. I have, however, completed 31% of my essay (yes, I used a calculator to work that out).
A question just occurred to me and I thought I'd see what others thought.
I've had three ETs now, the first was a freshie following a stim cycle, so included luteal phase support.
The second ET was a bit odd, and I started bleeding four days after ET and was put on pessaries just in case it was a prog problem. My prog later checked out okay, so we'll never know why I started bleeding.
The third ET, my prog checked out okay and I didn't have any luteal phase support at all. This was the cycle that we got a high reading BFN.
My SIL, who believes she is an IVF guru, tells me that I'm a 'brave woman for having a natural FET with no support.' Is this true? Does everyone else have luteal phase support after a FET?
I'm doing all the natural stuff (acupuncture, supplements, etc) but wanted to know if medication following a FET is normal for others. ???
Wouldloveabubba - thanks for the invite to join you girls......i will have to read up and get to know you all. Please feel free girls to tell me your story (in brief) which will help me to get to know you.....otherwise i have alot of reading to do.
AFM, well i have had 2 unsuccessful iui's and tomorrow (tuesday) i have my first appointment for ivf. don't know what to expect yet. I'm on AF day 3 day 4 tomorrow and some girls are telling me i will have to wait until next month to start my cycle...i'm already bummed out about that. Let you all know after my appointment with FS.

Persephone1, I did a natural FET in December and was put on pessaries (2/day) after ET. My Dr said he didn't think I'd need them but he'd give them to me anyway.
Emerald Star, good luck with your appointment. If you're doing the down-regulation protocol (most common protocol) you will have to wait until next cycle because you need to start suppression 7 days before AF arrives.
Hi girls
went and saw FS this morning and i have to wait this month out and start next month!!!
we will try naturally this month and hope we won't need IVF...thats just wishful thinking.
all of you on the 2ww - good luck and BFP to you all.
Just wanted to touch base with everyone - are you doing your injections morning or evening?
I am still unsure - is there any benefit of doing either? - I start tomorrow on 100iu of Puregon till Saturday then swap to Orgalutran.
So far so good, this my first time with IVF and injecting. I found that the clinic were not that helpful they didnt even get me to practice in front of them I was just "heres your stuff see ya later!"
Hi Emerald Star - we have also had two unsuccessful IUI's this year and are hoping to start IVF on my next cycle. I just had a lap though, not sure how long I am expected to recover before moving ahead with IVF. I have a FS appointment next Wed so I guess we will wait to see what she says.
Also, can anyone tell me if AF will arrive normally after a Lap/ Hyst or will this throw my usual cycle out the window?
I hope everyone else is well and good luck with your treatment.
Mitf- cant help you about the AF siyuation after Lap/ hyst. but maybe someone else will respond. sorry!!
However, i will be starting my #1 IVF ICSI cycle around 4 july (AF due) so maybe we can be IVF buddies, if you start around the same time. It would be great to go through it with someone and compare notes. We do have an age difference, and success rates are, I hear 1in 2 for your age and 1 in 4 for my age. I am pretty ok as far as we know except for a missing right tube due to ectopic in 2007. DH has low motility.
Anyway hope we can go through this journey together. Good luck with everything!
BFP for all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
