fx beau i hope all goes well for you x

**me4ever** · November 23rd, 2012, 08:02 PM

Am keeping my fingers crossed for you Beau!!
N2L - hope you feel less tired soon... Will you be able to have a quiet weekend?

AFM I'm feeling very upset today about the chem. pregnancy and had a good cry during work. 2 of my colleagues suggested that I should take time off and my DF agrees, so I'm going to visit the GP on Monday to get a medical certificate. Argh LT-TTC sucks, I wish there was some light at the end of the tunnel. On the brighter side, I might be able to do a FET over Xmas, as my clinic seems to be open for FET people! Although my acupuncturist is closing over xmas and I'm not sure if I'd want to do an FET without the acupuncture. I'll have a chat with her on Wednesday.

Thanks everyone. Had acupuncture this afternoon & feeling quiet relaxed now. Did all the housework this morning so now I can relax over the weekend.

N2L hope you get to rest over the weekend.

Me4ever - that's good news about fs being open for fet over Xmas. Hopefully your acupuncturist will be able to sort something out for you. How's the wedding preparation coming along? Take the time off - I had to take some time off after my last cycle as was a mess at work. It made a world of difference to me.

me4ever, it took me months to work through the emotions from our chem pg. And the mm/c took even longer (heck, something came up yesterday that had me upset about it all over again even though it has been almost 11 months). It takes time, a lot of time. Be kind to yourself and don't feel pressured to "get over it" in a hurry.

**me4ever** · November 24th, 2012, 08:03 PM

Thanks miloro, beau and juniper. Juniper hugs for you as well. It sucks doesn't it, especially because there is this unknown why it went wrong, was it something we did? I thought because it was "just" a chem. pregnancy that it shouldn't hurt as much emotionally as I had less time to bond with little one, but maybe it's just bringing up anger and emotions I've pushed away after the mm/c?! I did go to work today, just to make sure I can be missed next week and finished off some jobs, so now I can hopefully heal better.
@beau - wedding preps are going really well, thanks for asking! Can't wait now, wish it was the 7th yet

At least something to properly distract me.
Hi to everyone else!

**juniper76** · November 24th, 2012, 08:12 PM

It was definitely NOT something you did. It was NOT your fault. It hurts because you wanted it so much, you worked so hard to get it and you loved that baby long before it ever existed.

**lyra stardust** · November 24th, 2012, 09:56 PM

Me4 ever- I had a chemical pregnancy in January and took it really hard. It was devastating and felt like I had lost a baby. I felt guilty for feeling that way and like it wasn;t justified. I mean I was only pregnant for about 5 days, but emotionally it was REALLY hard. When I had my 12 week miscarriage, physically yes it was a lot different, and everyone knew I was pregnant so that was different, but emotionally it felt the same- a loss like the first. It almost helped me deal with the first one because I stopped feeling gulty about how I looked at it. Maybe a chemical pregnancy is not a big deal to someone who hasn;t been trying and just sees it as a late period, but when you've been trying for months and months and put yourself through all the crap that we do and have HOPED and HOPED for it- it's a loss like any other. Juniper put it beautifully- you loved that baby before it even existed. be kind to yourself, and grieve like you should. hugs xxxx

Hi everyone

Good luck for tomorrow Emma - hope your progesterone is behaving itself

N2l - how are you going with all your meds? Hope you have had a restful weekend.

**miloro** · November 26th, 2012, 06:37 AM

Hi all. I have a quick question. If you have a freeze all stim cycle, is the subsequent FET free?

**nothing2lose** · November 26th, 2012, 06:41 AM

Sadly, not that I am aware of Miloro.

At least, mine wasn't.

I think it's safe to assume nothing is free in the land of IVF

faye* · November 26th, 2012, 07:14 AM

Huge congratulations Andie

Sorry I'm a few days behind as I've been away this weekend!

**myturn** · November 26th, 2012, 07:51 AM

Will catch up on personals soon - too hard on the phone... But I hope you are all well.

I think it is safe to say the the emotional volitility has arrived. I feel terrible this morning. Just want to cry

Can't concentrate ANSI have so much to do

I hate this crap. It's not fair.

**Beau30** · November 26th, 2012, 07:57 AM

Miloro - did you get any money back from stim cycle? My clinic has told me if something is cancelled you get a part refund. Just paid for my fet another $2600. Think we get about half back from Medicare (being over the safety net gap). Good luck
