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!!
KayKay, I'm glad your transfer went well today - sending you lots of Woohoo, you're in the TWW (or is it less because it was a blasty?).
And as for your work friend, I had two people tell me, after the first ET wasn't successful, that they weren't surprised because it would be 'too lucky' if the first was was successful. What a stupid thing to say! The chances don't increase the more you do it!
Kay Kay, that is great news, glad to hear that all went so smoothly for you today. Fingers crossed for you and wishing you a quick TWW.
Thank you everyone for your warm welcome.
AFM: I am really stressed right now. Had a 2nd scan & BT today. I have 21 Follies and my Estrogen has soared from 4000 on Thurs to 15000 today. The FS said I am borderline on cancellation, but will go ahead with EPU on Thurs. Trigger is tonight. I doubt there will be a ET this month, but at the moment I am considering pulling the plug this afternoon as he asked me what the chances are that I could take a week off work in case I need to go to hospital for a week. I don't know what to do!!! I know my body is sensitive to my hormone levels in general and am very scared as to what will happen. Sorry for the me post but I feel I am at an important crossroad/dilemma and am wondering if anyone else here has been at this point with similar levels.
I had over 20 follies and FS said he was thinking of cancelling because I was at risk of OHSS. He brought EPU forward and we triggered that night, and they were able to get 18 eggs at EPU. I then had a mild OHSS, and took a couple of days off work to rest. It was nothing too big, but I was pretty exhausted. Make sure you keep up your fluids. Also, I did have a fresh ET, but looking back I think I could/should have waited, to give my body a break.
Don't feel too despondent - EPU may go really smoothly, but make sure you give yourself time to recover. FX for you that it'll be fine - and rest up!
Well you seem to be further along the cycle than any of us in the thread here and surely all the good vibes flowing your way from us all have got to give carma a good leg up. It's very surprising what people say without thinking - my closest friend responded the exact same way. She said she didn't want me getting hurt by getting my hopes up - I know she meant well but I really felt like thunping her (shouldn't have such negative thoughts scratch that). Anyway very best of luck and let us know how you go.
Have not been in for a while, just lurking, congrats to the BFPs!
Well I'm having a little pitty party today. I start with the synarel again in 7 days. I rang the FS to check if i could delay IVF # 2 cause DP is home from OS work at the end of Aug and thought we could use fresh TESA sperm rather than the frozen vial we have left due because of the c****y quality of the last defrosted vial (scientist said it was why we had such a poor outcome). Unfortunatley they could not do it over the time he was home. So i asked if he could have another TESA while he was home for freezing, but they said they would not do it because it was "pointless" (not gettin very positive vibes about this cycle). This leaves us with two options because he is only home twice a year (next IVF chance would be Dec and FS closes over that time). 1. Donor sperm, which DP won't have a bar of 2. Reversal with only a 40% chance of success at $7000, and DPs impossible work schedual to fit it around. Otherwise it is only one go per year at a IVF cycle when DP is home. So basically if i get a BFN with no frosties again (which, given the advice of the FS and scientist is likely) i'm pretty much out of the baby race.
Sorry for ranting, i just needed to vent.
What the heck is going on......day 23 AF started......then finished the next day (normally a 33 day cycle). It was early anyway so I'm not sure what's going on. Went in for a blood test this morning to see if it's actually AF. I'm on a month off since EPU so no hormones...............strange!!!!
Woohoo, you're in the TWW (or is it less because it was a blasty?).
Feelin Bummed
