Hi,
I got my LH surge this morning - I love seeing those two little lines on the test, the only time that two show up! So FET#5 will be on Sunday.
Tantee...hoping your EPU went okay and you're recovering well. Thinking of you and your dozens of follies!
MissK, sorry to hear that AF has arrived. Sending you a big :hug:
Mellmell, you're a tough lady doing all this without DH around! I admire you for doing that, and being so strong. I hope you have some positive news ahead of you.
B2B - good luck with the injections. Your stim cycle sounds different to mine - how long until your FET? GL!
:hello: to everyone else that I missed. Have a good Thursday.
Seph
Seph this is my first FET cycle. I'm on gonal-f, then my trigger will be at ovulation with FET five days later - nurses said this will be in about 3 weeks. Any tips for me?? DH and I are really excited but know that we'd be VERY lucky for it to stick 1st time.
does anyone know when you are supposed to count from if you get a BFB when your on IVF...
Normal conception you usally count from 1st day of your last period (correct?)
with ivf.. do you start from the egg transfer day? or the day you get a BFP BT?
just a question.. I have often wondered???
it's exactly the same as a normal pregnancy..........i'm 90% sure anyway!
Well i had my ET on Tuesday the 30th June, and BT is on Satrday the 11th of July and if that is a BFP they count that as being 4 weeks preg... If i were to take it from LMP it would be 32 days. don't really know if this helps at all :)
Hi everyone...
Krikkit - there is a due date calculator on website IVF.ca Fertility Network - it counts it as you being 2 weeks pregnant on day of EPU
BTB - it's great that you now have a fresh plan of attack! GL with your stims. I hope that the 3 weeks passes quickly for you.
Miss K - sorry to hear about AF arriving - she should just get the hint that she is just not welcome!
Mellmell - you are amazing, it is hard enough when hubby is handy, let alone having to factor in unpredictable timetables. Feel free to vent as much as you like
AFM - had EPU today and it was not as bad as I had expected. The waiting around for 3 & 1/2 hrs was more nerve wracking. The nurses were fantastic. Feeling a bit sore and bloated and am holding off on the panadol until I feel I really need it. A hot wheat pack is doing the trick for now. Ended up with 12 eggs, so fingers crossed hoping that some survive the night. Had a giggle with DH in regard to what time the 'blind date' between eggs & swimmers will be - (or maybe its a bit more like speed dating?)
Hi ladies,
Springvallee, good luck on Saturday, you must be so excited!!!
Mell, sorry to hear you're down in the dumps. Miracles happen every day so try to stay positive. It must be hard without hubbie there I think you're really strong to keep it up. Wish you best of luck whatever happens.
Miss K, how did you get on with FS today?
Persephone1, hope Sunday goes well for you.
tantee, sending you lots of :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
Question: I've been reading all your different accounts of IVF treatment cycles and trying to figure out what's normal. I think the nurse at my clinic has put me on a cycle that's very long on syneral just to suit the doctors operating days. Does anyone know what's the normal wait between Syneral, AF and Puregon. I started syneral om 30th June, AF arrived on 7th/8th July (middle of night). I'm not due to go back til the 16th July to see if I start the puregon - the nurse said that this was to make sure that my hormones were definitely all suppressed but it seems really long compared to what I've read elsewhere.
Jasmin - I was on a down-reg cyle over Christmas last year, and the total cycle length, including the TWW at the end, was about 7 or 8 weeks. I just checked my diary, and it shows that I started the synarel twice daily on 2 January, and took my last dose on 26 January - so over three weeks of sniffing.:
I don't think that it had anything to do with FS's schedule, rather it was how long it took for my body to go 'down' and then once you start injecting, the synarel stops you ovulating whilst your ovaries produce lots of follicles (hopefully). I wasn't on puregon, I was on gonal-f injections. I don't know if that would make a difference.
My DH needed the different drugs explained to him, and the way I described them are that if you imagine my ovaries as a tomato plant, the gonal-f injections are the fertiliser and make the 'tomatoes' grow. The synarel is the only thing that stops the 'tomatoes' from falling off the tree before they're ripe and ready. DH is a gardener, so that worked for him. :D It was also good to explain why taking synarel on time each day was so important - you stop taking it, and the tomatoes fall off the tree. :p
Hope that helps.
Seph
Thats gold seph!!! Best explanation to DH!!!!
Thanks Steph,
That's a great way to put it. And I feel a lot better that it seems normal to have a long run on the syneral. Not enjoying it much but very hopeful so that's motivation to stay positive.
Good luck again :goodluck:,
Annie (I love gardening too my name on here is after the star jasmin I planted this year in my garden ;) )
Hey Hey Ladies well what a rollercoaster I have been on these last few days AF isn't here but she will have to be by Saturday and if not its not looking to good... They think I have had some cysts burst so if she hasn't arrived by Saturday I am going in first thing monday morning for ultrasounds so its kinda scary hence me having alot of clear fluid coming out..
Baby2Bee - I have done the gonal-f its not too bad hey! It won't be long till the freezing process and you'll be on your way before you know it :) Make sure you drink plenty of water and even poweraide and also lots of high protein foods!!
Persephone - YAY for LH surge !! Sending you lots of sticky vibes for your transfer MWAH!!
Krikkit - I think its like a normal pregnancy :)
Springvalley - Any symptoms or anything how you holding up? You must be getting anxious :)
tantee - hehe I had to giggle at your speed date or blind date thing :P You must be excited and nervous about the process from now :)
jasminstar - Sorry I can't help you out with an IVF process etc I can imagine you are banging your head against the wall wondering if there is somewhere else who will do it quicker!
Hi Miss K,
Sounds painful. Never heard of that; have you had it happen before? I hope you get AF and can go ahead.
Best of luck and thanks for your support. Steph provided a really good answer for me on my questions. Loving this site you're all so helpful and supportive. Not to mention strong and motivating. It's really encouraging :)
Annie
Jasminstar - sounds pretty right to me. Its a lot to take in and understand though isnt it. GL with it all and glad you are on this journey with me.
Seph - i love your explanation, certainly helped me understand. Thanks
Miss K - sorry about AF and I hope they work out what is going on.
Mell mell- Sorry about your troubles and I really hope you guys can work out a way so you can have your child. Thinking of you :grouphug:
B2B - GL with your transfer. :pray:
Tantee - hope your recovering well after EPU - 12 eggs sounds great, hope they fertalise
Springvalley - all the very best tomorrow for your BT. Really hope you get your deserved BFP! x
Kay Kay - hope you are going well in TWW. :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Emerald Star and Vira and anyone ive missed, hope you are all going well xo
AFM - found out a bit more at my appointment Wed and understand the whole process more now. On 27th or 28th I will have EPU all depending on ultrasound and BT on Thurs/Fri 23rd/24th and then they are hoping for 5 day transfer so that will make it probably 1st or 2nd Aug. Only trouble is on the 1st I have a very special family charity ball that I dont want to miss!
Loops12 thank you for your kind thoughts :p I wish you all the very best for your up coming EPU and ET, here's hoping for a BFP
Hi Ladies,
I haven't been on for awhile....seems like there is a bit of action going on! What have i missed....:D
mellmell - hang in there!
Springvalley - Hope you get that BFP!:bfp:
Loops12 - Good to hear that all is well with your protocol. Is mitf cycling with you?
AFM - Started Gonal F 187.5iu a few days ago, and go for a blood test tomorrow...hoping results come back good. I am presuming that i will probably be doing another BT early next week as well as ultrasound. I haven't been told when EPU and ET are....probably will know next week as long as all goes well.....I'm starting to get more and more excited everyday, but that just means a harder fall if it doesn't all go well.
Good luck everyone!!!:goodluck:

Hi all,
Though I am not posting I am visiting everyday and my thoughts are with u all.
I am down with a flu, but since on the down reg. I don't want to take time off work , cause may need to take a lot of time off once AF arrives for all the BTs,scans etc.
AFM- on down reg. now with pills and injection. In spite of the flu I feel I am gaining weight. Has it got anything to do with the medications?
Loops-Looks like I will be closely behind you in my cycle. GL.
Tantee-Hope u have lot of embies.
Good luck to each one of u here.
Take care
Vira
Vira,
Hope you get over the flu asap babe....nothing worse than trying to get through this and have the flu as well:cold:
As for weight gain, i put on 4kg since i've started on my journey and i'm too afraid to weigh myself again just in case iv'e added some more...
Glad to hear that you will be cycling with Loops12 and mitf and you are all down the down reg together.
Get better girl and thanks for your thoughts.

Hi Ladies,
Sorry I haven't been posting this week. My Pop died earlier in the week and things have been busy and stressful.
It has also been busy in here! I have had a lot of post to catch up on and won't attempt to do personals - but a big welcome to all the new faces in here. Hello to everyone and I wish you all the best at your various stages of treatment. xo
I have a couple of quick questions I was hoping someone could help me with.
- how bad is it if I am late on my Synarel sniff? Usually I am pretty regular usually within 5 or 10 mins of my allotted time. Last night I went out to dinner and completely forgot. I was about 3 hours behind schedule is that really bad?
- Does everyone get AF when they are on Synarel. I am usually like clock work but am a day late.
Hi Everyone,
Jasminstar - I'm not sure what my cylce was. I started the pill on 1 June, then the Synarel on 18 June, Gonal F on 26th June, had trigger on 7th July and EPU on 9/7. So just over 5 weeks + ET & TWW until BT on 29th July. Good luck with your cycle. It does sound longer than it actually feels. (I do agree that the spray bites it big time but found that any symptoms faded after a few days once my body got used to it)
Miss K - how are you feeling?
Seph - Great to hear your LH surge has arrived. Good luck with your transfer tomorrow - sending you LOADS of :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
BTB - Hope you are travelling well.
Spring Valley - when do you get your BT results?
Loops12 - How exciting to have your plan in hand. You may feel OK after ET. I had mine done today and the FS told me to carry on about my business as I normally would had I have DTD so you may be able to go to your function depending on how you're feeling.
Emerald Star - Good luck for your cycle.
Vira - It must be a summer cold if you're in London. Nothing like being stuck inside sick when you know everyone else is out in the sunshine. I hope you are on the mend.
Krikkit - how is your TWW going?
To anyone I've missed - :goodluck: with your cycles...
AFM - Ended up with 7 embies and was feeling good so went ahead with ET this morning. Now just playing the waiting game until 29 July and concentrating on keeping up with the water intake and crinone.:2ww:
Thank you again BTB & seph for your feedback the other day. Totally invalueable....
Hi Mitf,
When I started my synarel the nurse said to call them if I was more than 2 hours out - I think it depends on where you are up to in the cycle as far as how critical it is but I would suggest calling them if you can.
My AF was extremely light and almost a non-event (my norm is very heavy) which they did not seem to consider to be a problem.
Hope this helps???
I got my blood test results today, it was a :bfp: we are over the moon
Hey Springvalley, :clap::dance:
That is fantastic news ,Congratulations!I am very happy for you, this news really cheered me up early in the morning. Now take it easy for a few days and take real good care.
All the best to all the rest of you.
Congratulations Spring Valley!!!!! You must be jumping for joy:hooray:
What a wonderful blessing!!! May the next 9 months be happy and healthy for you.
:happyforyou:
thanks heaps vera... I'm just lost for words atm. I'm just hoping now that everything will work out fine, i have a scan in 3 weeks time, just to check that everything is going as it should be..
Lol it's like you stop stressing about the wait to find out if you are preg or not, and then you start stressing about whether everything is going to be ok or not.. i guess by the time the 3 months period is over, i will relax some what.lol
Good luck to the rest of you out there. I hope everyone is doing well, and that magical things happen to each and everyone of you
Springvalley - CONGRATULATIONS!! It is always lovely when one of the LTTTC girls gets a BFP.... it gives so much hope to the rest of us. All the best for a H&H 9 months.
Tantee - thanks for your thoughts. Still no AF. I will have to call the clinic on Monday about the late synarel. I am hoping it is early enough that I don't have to stress. I have decided to keep the synarel in my handbag from now on so I can't go out with out it.
MItf - sorry to hear about your pop. My condolences.
Springvalley - CONGATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!:cheer:
Wishing you a happy and healthy nine months.
Tantee - Good luck on your :2ww:
To everyone else goodluck on your cycles and may we start getting some more :bfp:

Hi all
just wondering if anyone knows anything about getting pregnant with a belly button ring? I know this sounds silly, but I have it in my head that my body may think I am pregnant already because of my belly button ring, or may reject an embryo because it's fighting this bizarre "intruder" in my belly.
Does any one know any sucess stories where the mum has a belly button ring? Or should I just remove the damned thing and eliminate the fear from my mind?
After four years TTC and then I discover I had endo, I don't know why I would think that it is the ring that has prevented me from getting pregnant.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for the congrats :)
I was just wondering about something. I have been using crinone gel twice a day for the past two weeks, and now after getting a pos on blood test, I'm not taking it anymore. Does this always happen? I though i would be on it for awhile, at least for the first 3 months
Emerald Star and Vira - Thank you for your thoughts. I am about to head away for the funeral and won't have PC access. Will be back later this week in time for my next BT. Catch up with you then.
Daisie - I have never heard anything about belly button rings and difficulty getting pregnant. I took mine our a few years ago for personal reasons. I do have a couple of friends who have belly button rings though, and they wore them up to and while pregnant.
Hi mlif
I'm so very sorry to hear about your Pop. I had missed it on your previous post. Take care of yourself ....
