Krikkit - it is definatelty too early. Your body has barely had a chance to register if it is pregnant. My fingers are still crossed for you and sending you lots of Sorry to hear you are exhausted. Try to stop thinking about it for a few days. Get DH to give you a nice massage and get a couple goods night sleep - (although I know how hard this can be with that TWW clock ticking at the back of your brain).
Krikkit / Seph - fortunately my mother isn't too bad and hasn't bought me any baby clothes /schedule her holiday around me. It is my siblings that I have to worry about! I was still coming to terms with my first IUI BFN and my brother was on my case making stupid comments and kept offering me wines, coffees etc at a family function. I deliberately had a camomile tea to keep him guessing!
Girls.. Maybe you could try my strategy... I always tell my Mum that my BT is a few days later than it is so I'm not fielding any questions on that day but my lying is more so that I have time to personally drive to my Mum and Dad's place to give them the good news when it happens.. I had to ring my Mum today and tell her that AF arrived this morning and she was so sad for me that it broke my heart to have to tell her... Everyone at my work knows what i'm up to and when I broke down in tears this morning they respect the fact that I left work and why.. i just couldn't hide this.. I'm superbad at it.. Good luck ladies...
I have been following this thread for quite a while. Everyone in here is so very supportive and I personally have found the experiences others have described have really helped in my journey so far.
So maybe I should introduce myself (and thank you for sharing your stories) . I am currently in my first cycle after having tried 5 mths clomid earlier this year (after 2years+ TTC naturally. I have mild PCOS, a long 30-50day natural cycle and one tube is blocked.
Today was day 10 of my stims and I have been OK, but have become very nauseaus in the last couple of days. I am due for my 2nd ultrasound tomorrow and am getting very nervous. My EPU if all goes well should be on Thurs/Fri. I had a scan last week as my 1st blood test indicated that my E2 levels were 4,000, although I had about 9 decent follies. I am very worried that EPU will be cancelled.
Has anyone else had experience with high estrogen levels, but without extreme number of follies and still gone through with EPU?
I'm pretty new to the site too and really finding it encouraging, particularily the positive attitude of those of you who've been at this for so long. It's great to hear all the stories. In response to the last post I am also on my first IVF cycle. I am doing the down regulation cycle (I didn't find out until today that there are two different types; sounds like you're on the flare version, it's not so long and no difference in success rates according to what I've read). I've been on the syneral for 7 days now and my FS does not want me back in the clinic until Thursday week before I start FSH. It's a very long cycle they've planned out but I feel more proactive than when i was on the clomid so fingers crossed. Wishing you and everyone else luck too.
Hi Tantee ,Jasminestar & Springvalley- Welcome and good luck.
Krikkit- Don't torture yourself, I hope everything turns out well.
Mitf- My ET is also estimated around the same time as you may be a couple of days behind.
Persephone1-"Mums of Wannabe mums"-That was a good idea.
We always keep all our fertility treatment issues to ourselves. This is easy for us because the rest of our family lives abroad. But sometimes it is hard especially when things go wrong ,you feel it would be better if you had a shoulder to cry.
Emerald Star- My friend is 6 months pregnant after having her first IVF.
Kay Kay- Hope you have recovered from the flu and are feeling fit and well for tomorrow's ET.
Hi everyone else and good luck to all of you .
KayKay - I dont know much about cell division etc but what I have heard from others they do sound very good.
I know how you feel about being worried about the pain of the transfer etc - GL with it, is it today? Thinking of you x
Emerald Star - so happy for you that AF arrived - very exciting! And that you can join us. GL x I have friends (Kurby on BB) that have just recently become pg on 1st IVF try. So there is every chance the same could be for us.
Im at very similar stage to mitf - AF should arrive soon and im currenlty on the pill and Synarel - down reg.
Springvalley - hope you're going ok in TWW - not going crazy. All the best for a BFP.
Krikit - I hope everyone is right and its just too early - sounds like it, if you still have a week until you BT. GL on Monday
Seph - a good thread, well done. Hope you're hanging in there.
Tantee and Jaminster - Hi and welcome. Yes this really is a great place to be. Everyone is so kind and supportive. GL with your cycles
Hi Vira and everyone else.
AFM - still on pill and Synarel - down reg. Have an appointment tomorrow with nurse to go over the next steps etc and get more meds (injections etc). My EPU i think is on the 27th and then 4or 5 day transfer after that I believe. Find out more tomorrow I suppose
Well I think you are all amazing...so supportive and caring of each other..its like the friends you want to have that completely understand everything that we are all going thru!
Anyways, I had 1 blastcyst transferred back to me today, as you all said...it didnt hurt! I actually said to the doctor "Is that it"...so much easier tha egg retrival...
Sydney IVF were fantastic, the nurses, and scientist, and doctor all super caring and very helpful. My Dr (who did the egg retrieval days ago) who is not my FS as just lovely...I would also rec her as well.
I had accupunture early this morning, before embryo transfer. My natropath (at Chatswood) came in on his day off as he said all the hard work we have done will not be complete without a "before and after" session of accupunture! So Ive had 2 lots of accupunture today...which I must admit certainly calmed me after hardly any sleep last night!
I told a "work friend" last night about today and you know what she said?
Dont get your hopes up I dont think IVF is very successful the 1st time!!!!! I couldnt belive it...as if anyone going through it dosnt become obsessed trying to read, gather information, chat online with Belly Belly friends, and of course talk to the Drs, Nurses and experts on IVF!!
Thanks for letting me vent, Congrats to everyone where ever you are in your attempts to have a child....theres no doubt about it...we are the stonger sex!!
