n2l - I got af 4 days after last pill. I love coffee, usually 1 per day & only store bought (I'm a coffee snob). I tried to quit when starting puregon, but only managed to cut back. stopped completely 5 days before epu in an effort to keep hydrated.
w&d - goodluck for your scan tomorrow.
kerbear - congrats on your new tiny niece. hope the bloating settles for you soon. xx
Sneaking in to say to n2l that I gave up coffee cd1 and didnt drink it until hcg bt. Having said that I have not had coffee or caffeine soft drinks since may. I.d love a iced coffee.
Good luck to everyone. Am stalking
Afm - just in hiding. Hcg doubling nicely. Scan in few weeks and ob wants weekly bt till I am 12 weeks, which makes me feel better. For all of you that think you cant go on much longer, it really is worth it. Lucky my dh pushed me to keep going after each cycle.
I miss this thread as I am not ready to join a bb group yet, I seem to be in limbo. But its good to lay low. We havent told anyone yet. Only my bff and boss.
Hi girls still haven't had chance to catch up in here as yet... Hope u all doing ok!!!
N2L just a quick question re PPET my FS is keen to do and has heard about it, do u know how much HCG they use as he is a bit nervous about it washing then out??? He said to use very small amount and asked me if u knew??
With regards to coffee I gave up about a month out xx
hi all, I am new to the forums and wish I could say new with tcc but alas here we are 2 years on and nothing. I am still getting the hang of the abbreviations so forgive me. we have had appointments with Monash and are currently waiting for laparoscopy.

Just popping in to say N2L I gave up coffee and all caffeine at the start of my cycle. It was hard because I'm normally a 3 coffee a day girl. My first two cycles I didn't give it up and bfn and the third one I did and bingo bfp, I truly believe the caffeine made a big difference! Best of luck xxx
N2L - hi there sweetie My first two cycles, I COMPLETELY cut out all caffeine and for me, it made no difference whatsoever. I am guessing I did for the third one as well but I think I may have had the odd one. Our last cycle, we had so much crap going on that prior to the cycle, my coffee consumption went through the roof (5 x double shots a day!!!!) but once I started jabbing, I cut back to one decent one a day. I kind of think that maybe it is what your body is used to? As in, I was having so much before our successful cycle that to cut it out completely may have been more detrimental itms? Given that a decent coffee is one of my things? And I do know that when I had completely abstained, it did make me more miserable. However, I do that we will do absolutely anything that will potentially change the outcome of a cycle. I really don't think that I have been at all helpful here but that is just how I did things. Wishing you all the luck I can possible muster up with this cycle hun, I so, so hope that this is the one for you xxx
I only have one coffee a day but it is strong. Maybe I have decaf unless I really NEED it
I really appreciate all of your well wishes. I am still too scared to hope. Also, with the pill, DHEA and melatonin, I have put on five kilos (okay, winter gorging didn't help either ) It was five kilos I really really really didn't need to put on. So now I am thinking I am just wasting my time because I am so fat
Hi and welcome, kbudgie. I have a list of laparoscopy preparation and recovery tips on my blog, if you're interested. I collated the list when I was preparing for my first lap.
N2l -i am the heaviest I have been. Not too sure how much significance I put on weight and ttc. Of course its always good to be thinner than what we are, especially for afterwards xxx
Hi ladies had scan today unfortunately things havent settled.fs said it could take up to 3 weeks to go back to normal.or whats normal for me anyway.looks like thats it for iui.will be starting ivf after xmas. Am upset today but hopefully will feel better later
N2L don't let me hear you talk like that, do I need to jump through my phone and give you a slap lol. The meds are the worst for putting on weight, we just have to accept it and try and work with it.
Wishanddreams I am so sorry things didn't go as planned with the scan. If you have any questions when you start the ivf we are all here to help, everyone was so helpful when I started.
I will also give you a big slap n2l!!! None of that negativity thank you!
Besides popping in to threaten n2l with a slap, I thought I'd say hello to all my old buddies, and good luck where ever you are in your cycles. I'm always floating around lurking
I'm sorry wishanddream that the iui didn't work for you but I hope IVF works for you quickly.
Hoping to join up again after xmas, my next goal is to do a cycle in Jan/Feb xxx
