Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception Nov 2012

I find them AMAZING!!! They are so positive and supportive!!! This is my first cycle with them and they have been amazing since the start!!! I overload them with questions all the time (I put it down to the fact I'm a nurse and want to know EXACTLY what is happening) and they always answer my questions without making me feel like I'm hassling them! It is a real family environment there and I'm so glad I found them!!! Years ago we had some testing done at Monash and I felt the same as you do now!
Dandenong is just fab- close to home for me too and so cheap for IVF! I'm currently having OI and it is all bulk billed!!! I only pay for my medications and I'm only paying $5.80 for 900IU of Puregon, so I am extremely lucky!!

I have been with both MIVF and now Monash. I can honestly say I haven't had a problem with either of them :dunno:

Wishanddream, how are you feeling today. On Seoul, no idea if it is beautiful. I only had one day free for sightseeing (yesterday) and it was rained out. The next five days will just be in the office.

Jo, it is so great you have found a clinic that you feel really supports you. And bulk bills! That almost seems like a dirty word these days.

Where is AF? Sorry to get impatient but this is really starting to bug me. Should have come Saturday (I'm pretty regular) but I don't even have any signs. I tried exercising yesterday to see if that brought her on. Every little twinge I get I'm running to the bathroom. I don't even know if I O'd this cycle. We certainly didn't DTD much so I know I'm not UTD. I'm not a patient person. This whole waiting gig is just not me!

Hi everyone,

Just a question... I'm having my scan on Thursday then seeing the FS to find out when EPU will be. I've come down with what I think is laryngitis and I'm really worried if I still have it on Thursday they might say I'm not well enough to go under general anesthetic??? Do you think it will make any difference?

It shouldn't make a difference Faye, unless you have a fever or something. Hope everything goes to plan!

AF is MIA for me too Miloro. I thought I would have some bleeding by now as I took my last pill on Wednesday, but nada :(
One thing I do have (and tmi here) is copious amounts of wet CM :o
Not sure what is causing that????!!!! It's not usual for me.

I have my BTto check hormone levels are base tomorrow. I'm guessing they won't be if I haven't bled :dunno:

One question for the Dandenong girls - do they just do basic IVF and ICSI? Or do they do the magic extra stuff too? Can you see your own FS? Thanks!

Hope everyone is well :)

what do you mean by magic stuff n2l? it's all new to me ;)

I sent through an enquiry last night and they phoned me this morning to book us in. I was impressed

:goodluck: Monday 12th November 2012 :goodluck:

Got Their BFP in November :leap:
Nire - BFP on HPT - low first beta, but great doubling time for second beta!!

Faye, it would be best to check with your clinic about their policies. I had a cold for my 3rd EPU and it wasn't a problem. I was told that I was fine to proceed as long as I had no chest congestion.

Thanks Juniper I will, I'll hold off a couple of days in case I get better but at the moment I have no other flu symptoms and no chest congestion so FX it will be ok...

hey N2L - I was bleeding during my first scans when I had the down reg cycle.... in fact I think it only started the day before.... your hormones would be baseline as your body hasn't done anything.... I think they say something about it 'possibly getting a break through bleed' so they don't even consider it AF (although I do...) maybe you won't get one at all???

Faye - I was sick three out of three stim cycles, and TWO of them I was sick during EPU.... it sucked bad :( I was chesty and mucousy as well and they still went ahead.... so you should be fine... it's just annoying cause you are so tired and hormonal, it tops it off nicely... not!!

Sorry Emma, I don't have an up to date MIVF list either....

:hello: rai and kbudgie - and any other newbies I've missed along the way.... sorry you are here, and hopefully your stay is short xx

:grouphug: for everyone else... I hope we all get out of here soon

AFM.... feeling a bit blue today.... I have been so 'okay' for a while now, I'd forgotten what feelings feel like ;) I think I O'd last week - maybe Wednesday or Thursday I think... so I guess I'm in the TWW, but don't really feel like it.... I just want AF to arrive so I can get started.... does anyone else get emotional after ovulation, I'm feeling like maybe that's it...? cause it just feels like it's come out of nowhere..... I guess I can 'find' reasons for why.... but they don't make sense.... anyway... I'm just babbling now.... just no one else to share with, and DH would just look at me strangely if I asked him .... :lol:

So after a call from the dande clinic, I also got a call from southern health to confirm my details as since we last went to Monash, we got married and I have started to change my name. Hopefully I will get a letter to confirm cat2 waitlist for Laparoscopy.

Still waiting O, may be there in a day or 2 as I have ferning signs today.

Hugs Myturn. I get emotional after everything - ovulation, Af, the 2WW, everything!!! Before everything too ;)
Sorry you are having a crappy day. It may brighten you up to know that after I read your response to me re: bleeding, I started bleeding! Some people may say it's a coincidence but you may have special powers!!!

I guess my hormones are base :) Will find out tomorrow for sure.

Hi ladies,
Just thought I would drop in and say a big hi to everyone today! Sounds like everyone had a fair bit going on the last couple of days!
I've been busy helping my DH run gge family business for the last week while his folks are away so I guess it's kept me busy and not even realizing AF is still not here. Now CD 62
I can't believe it.
We have our app at the fs and nurse's and counselor and admin next Thursday 22nd. So getting a bit nervous about the whole thing tbh.



Also just wondering why a new thread was started and is there a way to go to the most resent one than havin to go through the other if that makes sence at all!

Wishing each and everyone of you well and good luck
:-) :-) :-)

Just popping in to vent. Sorry for the me post.

When your friends even noticed you are a short tempered cow it sucks. I hate having no control over myself, DH is feeling it really bad, he said I am much worse this time, I just wish I could control it but I can't.

Wish I could just put myself in a room along for the 6wks of meds. It scares me what I will be like if we do get pregnant, cant see my hormones getting any better :-(

Why do we have to deal with all this for so long first argh !!!

Ok vent over, hope u r all having a better time than me!!!

I like the idea of a super power... Not sure this is the ideal one, but ill take it..! Lol.

Thanks lovely you always make me smile xox

Hey all,
Sorry I haven't been on much...

miloro: I know, it really has become a dirty word... It's a shame, because so many people out there would love to be able to do IVF but can't afford it, and I am just so thankful I stumbled across TFC when I did!!! One of the best random google searches I have ever done!!! Lol!

faye: I'm a nurse and unless the patient is EXTREMELY sick, surgeries will still usually happen... If you are concerned though, call your dr, but I can't see it being cancelled/postponed or anything!!! As long as you don't have a major fever or signs of respiratory problems, you should be fine! :D

n2l: magic stuff???? If you wanna PM me what you wanna know, I can ask my nurse when she calls me in the morning, if I don't already know the answer!!! :)

kbudgie: So glad they got back to you so quickly!!! They were like that for me too!!! When is your appointment??? OMG, so excited for you!!! :D

myturn: I have finally been allowed to accept your friend request! Feel free to PM me now!!! :D I hope you are feeling better real soon!!! You are not alone in the being 'emotional' stakes though!!! According to DH, I have been an absolute cow!!! Lol... I told him to jab himself every single day for 18 days and tell me how he feels! Hahaha, he declined my offer to do it for him if he didn't feel confident doing it!!! :p

AFM: I have been so busy with gym and life being crap and stuff... I hate how everything is just piling on right now, it is seriously stressing me out!!!! AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! On the positive side, I had another ultrasound today after being on 66.6 IU of Puregon for 6 days... The main follicle on my right was still 7mm so no change in that one for 12 days now, but the one on my left which was 6mm is now 8mm!!! Yay!!! I know it isn't much of a change and I was terrified my cycle would be cancelled but my nurse is happy for the cycle to continue, seeing as I don't have a 'regular cycle length'!!! She said if there was no change the cycle would have been cancelled, but with the growth it can continue!!! It is such a relief!!! I find out tomorrow what is happening with my dosage but she thinks it will increase again!!!

Hope everyone is well!!! xxx

Myturn - hug hug hug is all I can send. I normally get emotional the week before AF is due but I do get irritable after 'O' as I get a bit sore around that time. That's when I am not doing a cycle. Our DH's just don't get it, wish they did a bit more, sucks feeling alone with hormones and emotions.

Hope you say is better tomorrow babe xo
