Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - November 2006 #2

Hi everyone....it feels like ages since I've posted!

Jo, I can't go into the other threads at the moment.. I have noticed there is a bit of a BFP epidemic and while I am happy for those girls and normally it doesn't bother me, this week it IS! I just want it to be me like the rest of us in here.

There has been a bit of a rush of new pg ladies at work in the last 2 weeks as well which I don't think has helped me. Two of which were "an accident". Don't we wish!
Don't mind me, I'm just having a whinge! lol

Boo, good luck in your TWW. It must be our turn in here so I hope you're able to escape this month! No pressure! ;)

To all of the new girls, Dreambubba, Fig and Macca...I don't think I have posted since you have joined us, so welcome! :)

As for me, we are waiting to see if we can do our FET in December. AF is due early Dec and then I have to O at the right time (due to xmas) for transfer to go ahead. If I don't, the cycle will be cancelled and then we will have to wait until January. Now, it's just a matter of deciding whether to transfer one or two embies! We keep changing our mind, thinking we have plenty of time as this is only our 2nd cycle. I don't know!

Jo - BD began at the start of the week, then had a couple of days off because I had a sore back. Got back into it last night though LOL. Asked DH if he felt like BDing, and the hugest grin came across his face. Obviously he had no problems with feeling used this time. Told him he was on duty again tonight, so :pray: we catch an eggie this month.

Megan - :hug:

Nic

Hope all are doing well where ever you are up to in your cycles :crossfingers: and toes crossed for you all.

sushee Thank you for the abbreviations link, I think I am getting my head around it all now :)

Megan Thank you for the welcome and I understand what you mean about it being a BFP epidemic. For me I feel like it has been going on for a while now. One person tells you the are then you deal with that and then another one comes along. At times I wish they would tell me there secret instead of saying things like "relax, it will happen when you are ready, have a holiday or go out on a big night on the town or just don't try", I know that are trying to be supportive but sometimes :angry: Hopefully your surpirse will be just around the next corner :)

For me, today was day 8 BT & US which was basically looking at my Oestrogen again and also seeing how many follicles are there and what size they are. Looks like reducing my Puregon to 100 has slowed things down a little which is great, so my Oestrogen was 4640 which they said was good for this stage in my cycle. The US show 17 little follicles, 11 on the left and 6 on the right, but at the moment they are still a little on the small side and still need to do some growing so another BT & US on Monday.

I was told not to expect all these follicles to have eggs in them and they don't always make it through to egg pick up, however I still was rather surprised at the number, I was really only expecting to see half that. Now this explains the bloated feeling and tight feeling in the lower stomach.

I am feeling much better from these test results today, was feeling from my last BT that I was going to over stimulate and they were going to cancel the cycle but now all seems to be going good again so now we just have to wait and see! Playing that waiting game again!

Well girls this is it .....................................

TF on Monday (dont know what time yet) Had a bit of a scare tooday as my GYN thought i may have o'd which ment the cycle would have been canciled AGAIN but the bt came back ok and im all set to go for Monday, cant believe that im finally having this done.lol Gyn wants to put 2 in this time so im hoping that they both stick so that it can make all the ups and downs worth while. IYKWIM?

well just poped in to share the news i hope all of you in the Tww are doing well and wishing for super dooper strong BFP all round

Nic, thanks for the hugs! I was having a bad day last night and just needed a bit of a sook I think! All better today. It's the weekend and I have to get a good start on the chrissy shopping, so I'm not going to let it get to me. I am going to enjoy christmas this year I have decided and not let TTC get me down. LOL at telling your DH he is on duty tonight!! Funny, they're quite happy to be used and abused!! lol

Macca, good luck with your US Monday. I have just been my through my first stim cycle and I had 19 follies (which I was completely surprised by too!) and then at pick up I only got 6 eggs. When she told me 19 follies, I expected a higher number of eggs I guess! However, after speaking to my Dr this week he said I was on the lowest dosage injections and my eggs were all good quality (all fertilised and all but one of those left went on to be frozen). So, I guess it's better to have 6 good eggs rather than 15 ok ones! Hope you get good news and Monday and have your pick up date. :)

Lou, good luck for Monday! Hope everything goes well! Are you definitely having 2 transferred? I think I'm heading in that direction myself.
Hope everything goes well!! Lots of sticky vibes to you! :D

Loula & Macca - best of luck for Monday, hope it all goes well.

Megan :crossfingers: AF arrives in time so you can get your FET in before xmas.

Nic - :hello: hope you guys manage to catch that egg this month.

Thanks girls...

Im trying not to stress too much already, ive mentioned in a post b4 i always try my very best at having everything in harmony during a cycle and it all comes crushing down.... you lovely ladies im sure will help me to stay on track.

Megan - Yes two!!!!, every time i go to me FS she changes her mind, 1, 2, 1 , 2 so we'll wait and see on Monday. I will be straight back at work on Tuesday which im not too keen about as in lifting alot but my FS said that this doesnt matter if its your normal routine. Thursday is more of a tough day though so im might see if i can swap things around at work a bit. Im hoping that AF shows up for you really soon sweets and that you can have a BFP from santa.... Looks like my BT will be on our first wedding anversery (sp?)

Boo - hope everything is going well with you

Macca - good luck Monday with your sacn i hope all goes well with your pick up and that you have a few to freeze that you will never never need.lol

All the ladies in the the TWW, thinking of you

Hi girls

Welcome Fig, Dreambub & Macca hope your stay is a very very short one and you can cross over to the expecting pages soon!

Monnie - so glad the HSG came back all clear, i agree about our plumbing getting a bashing through all this, more on mine later...

Melbel - all the best with starting IVF in new year and i'm glad all your immune tests were fine, hopefully with IVF and ICSI your RE will be able to select the biggest healthiest embie ever and you'll have your BFP, the best wedding present ever!!

Nic - Deep heat LOL, yes i imagine it might take his breath away, in an all together other way!!

Zap - hope you are doin ok, thinking of you, whats the news?

Boo - how are things coming along in the TWW?

Megan - Big Hugs, i have decided to enjoy Xmas this year as well and to start afresh in the new year, hope it does us good!!

DJTTC- Jo the TWW is a killer isnt it, still every one is a chance so fingers crossed for you darl!!

Loula - Mondays the day hey, all the best sweety and i say go for gold with 2!!

Well girls i had my Hys-Co-Sy (Hysterosonography with Contrast) and gee whiz was it painful. First i had an abdominal ultrasound and it turns out that i have 2 fibroids about 2cm in diameter each. They are within the uterus wall so not unusual for a woman my age and will not affect my ability to conceive so i am grateful that they aren't within my uterus, but something to keep an eye on so they dont grow and impinge on the uterine cavity itself. Quite scary having this ultrasound, got a look at all my bits including my kidneys!!! Which were normal thank god, kept expecting something weird to be growing inside there, but their wasnt. Except for the fibroids which were new!!

Ovaries looked a little "peppered with calcium" which the sonographer said was probably related to when i had the endometriosis removed, which if you looked at the ovary, looks like the surface is a bit sandy, but does not affect their function.

Ok then came the second part of the procedure, the contrast through the tubes. Firstly the radiologist had trouble getting a canula to fit through my cervix seen as how it was day 9 and it was slammed shut, so she tried 3 different ones. That was pretty painful and once she got it in, wow talk about hurties!! But nothing compared to when she started injecting the contrast.

All I could think about was how painful contractions must be because this was pretty bad. The right tube was clear and a little painful but i felt and saw the fluid flow through and spill into my abdomen (i had my own monitor to watch all the procedings) but the left tube, that likes to bend around behind my uterus along with my left ovary, that took alot of effort and alot extra contrast and a hell of alot of pain 9 (i nearly fainted) to get through it so it turns out that my left tube may have been twisted and cut off. Good news is that with the blasting through of the contrast it corrected itself and even my ovary came out of hiding.

So i am the proud owner of two small fibroids, two clear and now untwisted tubes, and two correctly positioned, albiet salt and peppered ovaries!!

Dont think i will get an insemination in before Xmas tho so i've decided to enjoy some christmas cheer and start the new year afresh!!

Hey Twomums

That's good news! Welcome to the club of fibroids! I've got a couple too...same as you, they are in the uterine muscle so shouldn't impact upon fertility. I had a couple of really nasty ones a few years ago that I needed to get embolised...thankfully the operation worked...and although it was painful, I met a much loved friend...pethadine!

Sorry to hear the procedure was so painful. I have heard it is more painful if there is some blockage but that is fantastic that they were able to remove it!

Great news.

Lou - Goodluck on Monday. Hope it all goes well for you.

Megan - Enjoy the chrissy shopping today.

Twomums - ouchies, your procedure sounded painful!

Nic

Hi all,

Megan - here's hoping you O early so you can fit in another transfer before xmas.

Loula - good luck for monday, sending you lots of positive vibes.

Twomums - you poor thing, I really hope that you recover quickly it all sounds pretty good though especially if it cleared your left tube.

Well ladies looks like I'm out this month, feeling pretty lousy about it at the moment but trying to keep my chin up.
I hope someone else on here can have some luck this month.
Jo

HI GIrls,

Well I gave in today and did my HPT and as suspected i got the BFN i was dreading:crying: . My official BT is Wednesday so I will still front up, more so to plan when I can start again on my next cycle than the results of the BT. DH is shattered - doesnt cope well and really wont communicate at all :mad:

My best friend just announced her pregnancy yesterday. I am truly pleased for her, she conceived on her wedding night! She went off the pill only 6 weeks before the wedding so it was only her 2nd cycle and she fell! Can you believe that I was just starting my drugs at her wedding - preparing for this cycle, and yesterday she announces she's 7 weeks! ANyone I am praying that it happens for me some time during her pregnancy so I can share the joy.....

Thanks Girls for all the prayers. Maybe next time.:pray:

Hi All,

Just a quickie to stay in touch
Welcome to all the newbie.... now hurry up and leave!
Hi to all the other wonderful ladies.
AF is due this week and I think she will arrive have being very very emotional.
We are giving IUI another go next month so fingers crossed.

Take care
Racheal

Hi Dreambub

I am truly sorry to hear your news. It must be even harder with a close friend falling so easily. Lots of :hug: to you.

Hi Ladies

Zap best of luck for you IUI next month. Big Hugs Dream Bub, thinking of you, this is so tough any time let alone when your friends are all getting pregnant.

Well i know i said i wouldn't get an IUI in before xmas, well curiosity got the better of me so i bought an OPK Clearblue Digital, and i am surging and i am going in for an ultrasound and a blood test and hopefully an IUI later today.

I'm impulive like that sometimes, i like to call it spur of the moment, but hmmm, waiting until after christmas when i really havent been doing anything to ttc since august'ish.

I didnt want to waste my few months of enhanced fertility after the HSG thingy, i wont be able to do next month tho because of xmas, but heres hoping i wont have to!!

Good on ya, Megan! I reckon it's great that you did this spur-of-the-moment! Some of the very best things happen that way. Good lick for your TWW!

Hi there,

Dreambub - hopefully it's just too early to get a bfp.
I'm happy for your friend but isn't also a little unfair that some women can just fall pg with hardly a thought at all.
Yes it would be nice if you could also fall pg & share the experience with her, I will have my :crossfingers: for you.

Zap - hope af doesn't arrive this week, fingers crossed your feeling emotional for other reasons.

Twomums - :goodluck: with your IUI.

Well Af definately arrived yesterday & boy what a dissapointment.
I had been fairly good about bfn in recent months but this month it really hit me, I guess I figured having the endo treated would magically fix everything & I would get a bfp.
I was feeling really + this month as well, I guess that doesn't work either.

I think too I am really upset because having the endo treated I thought the really bad af pains would go but it's just the same which worries me a little.
Does this mean some endo was left in or has it come back already, surely not.

The doc said he would like us to wait 3-6 months after lap. to see if we could fall pg which he said I could probably hold out the 6 months because my af would be better but it's not.

I am quite tempted to ring & make an appoinment for January which is only 3 months after lap but I don't think I can put up with af like this for another 6 months (it's running my life) & at this stage I just can't see myself ever falling pg.

I remember this time last year thinking how good it would be to tell everyone at xmas that I was pg & it's not going to happen again this year either, I think we are going to have to start telling people we are having problems because everyone keeps asking when are we going to have kids, little do they know we have been ttc for 18 months.

I'm :angry: at myself for feeling so down atm but I really just can't help it.

Sorry guys for hijacking this thread.

Jo

Oh Jo dont be angry at yourself for feeling down, you are allowed to feel what ever you feel whenever you feel it. You've had a big dissapointment after being through the surgery and everything, don't be so hard on yourself. Or your body, it is probably just settling down after having the endo removed. Big Hugs xxx

The IUI is done, when my doc put the speculum in he said all the mechanics look right on for ovulation so at least we are in for the running. So i am officially in the TWW now. Had bloods taken just in case but he said that i am about to pop any minute so there will be some little swimmers waiting to meet my egg hopefully!!

Well ladies i thought i would just pop in and let you know that i/ we are now in the tww!

I cant believe that im finally here at last.

I dont know how often i will be poping in, but will let you asap when i find anything out.

good to hear from you 2mums good luck to everyone

Hi all, a little bit to catch up on and it is great to read all your posts. Hope all are doing well :)

Megan - Thanks for your support and you are right, I would rather good eggs, then heaps of alright ones. They keep saing all it takes is one!

Two mums - Thanks for the welcome and sorry to hear about your precedure. Sounds like a quick recovery so :crossfingers: for a good outcome with your current cycle

dream bub - Sorry to hear the news and please don't beat yourself up with feeling angry and frustrated, totally understandable. You can't help asking the Why's and How comes and feel jealous of those who seem to have no problems. I beleive what doesn't break you makes you stronger but it is OK to feel sorry for yourself and be angry, but then you get back on that horse and try again. :pray: I hope you do get a little angel sooner rather then later :crossfingers: That is what I love most about this forum, you can vent and there are so many great ladies hear for support. Fantasic!

Update on me: Day 11 BT & US today. Everything is looking good, found 27 follies today, which I was surprised to see, as only seen 17 on Friday. Another BT in the morning and it looks like EPU will be on Thursday. Now a little nervous and I keep thinking what if they pop all the follies and find no eggs, but I am trying to stay positive and think this will be fine, but I guess time will tell

Loula - good luck, hope the next two weeks fly by for you, sending you lots of :stickyvibesboy:

Macca, Two Mums, Jo, Fig - Thanks for caring girls. It means a lot.:)

Lou & Twomums - YAY for being in the TWW. Hope it flys by for you both with exciting news at the end

Jo - :hug: So very sorry to hear that you are out this month. Don't feel bad about being down, you have to do it sometimes to stay sane i think. :hug:

Racheal - Hoping that you being emotional is some preggie hormones working their way around your body

Big hello to everyone else. Hope you are all well.

Am finally in the TWW. :pray: for a BFP this month....again LOL!

Nic

Wow, sounds like there is quite a few of us in the TWW, hope all of us can come out the other side with some very happy news to share :)

Twomums - reading about your procedure had me cringing! Hope you are doing well.

Jo - my Dr told us the same about waiting 6 months after the lap, but there is no way i could wait that long so we've made an appointment with him tonight, we're coming up to our 4th month after the lap so hoping he'll refer me onto a FS and we can get the ball rolling with whatever else they think might work for us. If he doesn't give me a referal then I'm just going to go back to my GP and get one.

Hi Girls,

Not sure if it makes a difference or not that I am on IVF but I had a laparascopy (for endo & PCOS) last year in April and a FET 8 weeks later? Doc didnt seem to be concerned.
SHAZ

Hey Girls

Dream Bub - Have you POAS today or yesterday? Maybe sunday was too early to do a HPT who knows...

Zap - I agree hopefully its pregnancy hormones making you emotional, don't write this cycle off yet!!

Nic and Boo and Lou - Good luck with the TWW fingers crossed for you all!

Well my doc rang today and i am scheduled for another IUI at 10am today, my bloods came back and my LH was still 77 at lunchtime yesterday, so i did another OPK today and it came back negative so the LH drop is today so ovulation will most likely happen any minute!! He thought a double IUI would give me the best chance for this cycle!! So here we go again, i dont mind tho!!

:hug: to everyone else!!

Hi all,

Twomums, Loula & Nic - wishing you guys all the luck in the world for your tww, hopefully it will fly by & you will have some wonderful news at the end of it.:pray:

Boo - there is no way that I will be able to wait 6 months, especially with how painful my af is.
I am just feeling so over this rollercoaster ride, there seems to be way to many downs & not enough ups.
I guess when we all eventually fall pg we will look back & say it was definately worth it but please let us get there soon.
I think you should have no trouble gettting a referral, I would just ask straight out for one.
Did you need to have anything done when you had your lap?

Zap - how are you going, hopefully no sign of af!!!:SAAF:

Jo :hug:

Hi Jo - i didn't have anything done in my lap - they couldn't find anything to fix! That's what makes it even harder to take - i guess if we knew what was wrong we'd be able to work on fixing it. My gyno has said to us many times that he's quite happy for us to "wait and see what happens", but like you I'm well and truly over it.
:crossfingers: you get your BFP next time around and you won't have to bother with AF for a while!

Morning all you lovely ladies.

Firstly it would be about bloody right that there are so many in the TWW when I won't be around to see how many BFPs we're going to get in here!

And that's because this Saturday, I'm off to Singapore for 2 weeks! It'll mean I won't be around to answer questions, give advice, take complaints, or to do any modding at all from the 2nd of Dec to the 18th of Dec.

But as we are now not going to be updating your details on the front page, which the view to removing them completely by the start of the next thread, you guys shouldn't miss me too much. :)

Good luck to all you lovely ladies and may you all get your hearts' desires this Christmas.

love
sushee

HI Girls -

Two Mums - thanks for hoping for the best for me - however its all over as AF arrived last night so wont even be going for my BT now:( .
Strange though coz AF ususally doesnt come for about 17 days after transfer plus I was on 3 progestrone pessaries a day.

Anyway the Doc squeezed me in today and was really great in offering support and hope. I asked him straight up does he really think its going to happen for me and he is very confident it will. He's one of the best in QLD (Dr David Molloy - does anyone know him?) and I do have confidence in him. I had a list of questions as long as my arm today and he patiently answered everything for me. I asked about Metformin - however he didnt want to put me on it. I'd read good things about it & thought that may be my missing link, but apaprenlty not.

Next cycle is #11 so hopefully the lucky one. I wanted to start again straight away (like now!) - but he wouldnt agree as my ovaries have been so overworked in the last cycle - and homrones were sky high. SO now I am on the pill till mid January and I am to start taking LUcrin again 10th Jan. By my estimate I should be ready for EPU again on the 5th Feb next year - it seems so long away and by then I will be one year older! So no possibility of a BFP for about 3 months - god I am so impatient. I thin I am giving myself an anxiety attack:eek:

Anyway will get more positive in the next couple of days, just wallowing in self pity for a bit. Have made an appt with Accupuncturist and Natural Fertility expert and will take the herbs again in preapration for the nxt cycle. Enough about me!


Nic. Loula and Two mums - Good luck to you all. I will be praying that you have the BFP I was looking for.

Well im back and im not holding out much hope for thios cycle.

My temps were up to 37 and now there down to about 36.46 so i dont know whats going on. only time will tell i guess. TF was on Monday and i had a 5 cell and a 3 cell put back. wondering if i should test next week or wait for BT.

I will be in again soon for personals but so so busy at work at the mo and wont b home til after 9ish so i hope to hear good news from you all 2morrow

Love lou

Sushee - have a fantastic time in Singapore, I love Singapore.

Dream Bub - sorry to hear that AF arrived. Is this the first time you've tried acupuncture? I'm in my second month of trying it and have noticed alot of positive changes.

Loula :crossfingers: your temp drop is just your body playing tricks on you, I would've thought that 36.46 was still a pretty high temp?

Well we had our appointment last night, he has finally given us the go ahead to take the next step. It turns out that he also works as a FS one day a week at the fertility clinic here so we're going to book in to see him - only thing is he's away until late January so we won't be able to see him until then. He's given us the option of either IUI or IVF but he was more leaning towards IVF but we've got a little time to make our minds up - DH has already pretty much set he's mind on IVF but i'm not so sure - I'm off to do some research to find out more about it.

Twomums - Hope all went well today.

Sushee - you lucky thing, going to Singapore! And just in time for some last minute chrissy shopping too LOL!

Dreambub - So sorry that AF arrived :hug: Your specialist sounds great. Do you mind me asking who the natural fertility expert is that you are seeing?

Boo - Great news about taking the next step.

Nic

HI ladies well it happened again i wrote a long post and then ...................gone ..............so here goes again

firstly sorry for being a bit of a yo yo and popping in and out of here but some days its hard to keep up and im TRYING to rest.lol

Boo - Fantastic news that you are feeling like you are getting somewhere. and its nice to hear that your Doc will fo0llow through with you to be your FS(if thats what you want?) I would also be looking into IUI if that was a choice for us. if it means less drugs or less intervention then id give it a go. let me know how you get on as i know nothing about it, sorry

DB - im so sorry to hear that AF arrived. I must say i felt like my ovaries had taken a beating after my last PU too, so glad ot was canciled. Taking herbs is great and this will help you with all your worries. I wish i could come and give you a hug. Im here if you want to talk

Sushee - wow can i come i wont take up too much room and ive be very quiet. are the family going with you? DH and i said we must stay longer in Singapore next time we fly to see family in UK, although im hoping to take twins with us.lol Have a fab time

2Mums - another WOW i cant believe how youve gone from next year to having IUI NOW. Im so excited for you and praying that your Christmas bub will be anounced for you xx

Jane - thank you so much for your words now get back to keeping my seat warm in the pg thread. i hope you are feeling well and that MS is mot treating you too badly although its a reasuring sign

DJTTC - do what makes you feel better go with your gut feeling - my FS told me it is better to do IVF straight after surgery but i guess it depends what your having done mine was my tubes tied. good luck hun.

Nic - what are you up too?

Macca - are you in the TWW? How are you doing ?

Well ladies that brings it to me as im off to work as soon as im done

As you know we had Tf on Monday - one 5 cell and one 3 cell. *TMI* yesterday at work i noticed a little pink tinge on my pad and im haveing a few bits of crinone leak out. so last night i started to use the pessaries, although i still have 6 crinone left but i think the pessaries are a stronger dose.

Dont really know how to feel at the mo ive usually got sore bb by now but nothing and im feeling preety good - some moments i even forget that ive had a TF.lol

Also what do people tink about testing b4 BT?dont know wether to or not did last time got BFP but BT said it wasnt viable so very confused this time

Have a great day everyone and i hope to see you all outa here by Christmas.

Hi Girls - I too just lost my post half way thru:angry:

Anyway...

Loula - Good luck in the 2ww, and thanks for the hugs.

Nic & Boo - My accupuncturist/harbalist guy is David McLeod of Healthwise in Wickham Tce. Didnt use him last time (I was too busy) and only got 14 eggs, time b4 that when I did use him I got 20 eggs at EPU. I am hoping for more eggs but more importnatly better quality, as I never have any to freeze.
:mad: If I did I couldhave had a FET b4 Christmas. have you guys had any quality issues and do you think natural remedies has helped?

Hi to everyone else - hope you are all well.

Hi ladies,

Sushee - Have a great holiday.

Boo - I'm so happy that you are going to be taking the next step, I actually phoned my specialist & have appointment on 4th January so not really that long to go (not with the way the months have been flying by).
He suggested last time that we could either try fertility drugs, washing the sperm & then putting it back in (is this IUI?) or IVF.
So I think I should start doing some research before we go.

I went to my hairdresser today & she told me she was pg, & she started going on & on about how they didn't think it would happen straight away but the first month it did.
Here I was really happy for her but at the same time I wanted to ball my eyes out, but it's not her fault she doesn't know I have been ttc for ages.

But I am cheering up though because tomorrow night we are off to the Robbie Williams concert, I am extremely excited about it.
Jo

LOL DB - i lost my above post too and had to re do it.

Just thought id check in this morning my right bb is a little sore but then they are covered in several huge pimples and can see some cysts under the skin of me left.

Does anyone have any idea? having some Af pain this morning but think its more in my head.

would be 7 dpo today i think still 10 days till bt!!!!!!!how am i going to cope? will be testing this weekend i think.lol

:hello: hope all are well! Thank u for your support and kind words, it made the last few days a lot easier to deal with, thank you.

Just a short update on me; yesterday was EPU and I think I was more concern about the eggs that would be collected, I didn't really think about how I would feel . Well on a good note 16 mature eggs where harvested, and should find out today how many of those have been fertilised :crossfingers: , however my tummy is so tender and I have been told to keep an eye out for OHSS, as I am at risk. How long does this feeling last for? I was thinking before hand that I would be back at work today, but really I can't get off the couch, but because I am drinking so much water (they said to drink 2-4lts a day for 3 weeks) I am up and down to the loo .

Anyway I am sure this feeling will pass, as I start Gel on Sunday and Transfer will be Tuesday, so then I will be able to join others in the 2ww period.

Enough complaining from me, I knew I would never make a good patient.

Anyway :stickyvibesgirl: n :bluedust: for you all

Loula - thats why i was leaning towards IUI but as the Dr has told us we have a better chance of success with IVF DH has kind of already got he's mind set on that. I don't really know too much about it either, havent had much time to do any research. How are you feeling? Sorry i can't help with your question but i do have my fingers crossed that it's a good sign!

Dream bub - I'm only on my second month of trying acupuncture, but i've already noticed a big improvement in the way my cycle works. Fingers crossed you'll be able to get in another FET before xmas comes.

Jo - Enjoy the Robbie Williams concert, it should be fantastic! What you said about washing the sperm is pretty much how my Dr explained the IUI to me. Your right - with xmas etc in between the 4th Jan will be here before you know it.

Macca - Hope your tummy starts to feel better soon. Probably a stupid question but what does OHSS stand for? Hope everything goes well for you on Tuesday.

Well the lady from the FS clinic just called me and they've had a cancellation, they can now fit us in on 11th December - that's only a week and a bit away!

Hi all,

Macca - hope you're feeling better soon.

Loula - from what I have read the pimples you are seeing on your bb are a good sign for pg, apparently we always have a few but when pg you develop a lot more & bigger.
Fingers crossed for you.

Boo - yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for the cancellation, not long to wait now.

Have a good weekend, Jo :) :) :)
