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
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 , 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.
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!
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.
Hi again and it is great to here others have felt as I am right now! I feel if you put a pin in me I would pop.
Boo - I don't beleive in any silly questions, and I had no idea what OHSS was before all this OHSS is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) they say it is because one develops many eggs and/or blood test before the EPU measures your hormones as high one may develop OHSS.
The clinic called this moring to let me know that we have 10 fertilised eggs. 4 didn't fertilise and 3 not muture enough. Now waiting to see how many make it to day 5, as the clinic has said that we will still loose a few in the next few days , but at the moment numbers are on our side, whcih we are really happy about.
Thanks again and I must admit that my DH is waiting on me hand and foot, which I am enjoying. The next 5 days will be trying and it is harder when all you are doing is laying on the couch and resting, my mind just never turns off. Thanks again
Sorry ladies i have to confess - i tested with an OKP today (has anyone read the thread okp as hpt?) well i got two lines straight away. showed a lady at work (yuck i know!!)just to confirm and then we both started crying (me first. lol)
But i know this is very early to test (about 7dpo) and i mc about the same time with the last two tf, also does anyone know if the drugs im taking can effect the result on the stick? im taking pessaries and HRT
Macca - Enjoy dh looking after you & well done on the 10 fertilised eggs!
Loula - I have my fingers crossed for you.
Dream bub - thanks for the advice on IVF & IUI, I think dr will probably say IUI as it's less invasive.
OH MY GOD Robbie Williams was unbelievable!!!!!!!!
It was one of the best nights of my life, he is just awesome.
I honestly wish I could go again, we had standing so we were only a couple of metres from him, just thinking about it again gives me goosebumps.
I am not normally a starstruck kind of person who screams but when he came out it was unreal & yes I think I did scream.
You will have an absolute ball.
Getting some AF pains but still testing like mad and always BFN!! stoped doing okp though.lol is anyone else as nuts as me with the wait? one more week to go dont know if i will last!!
Well it has been a while since I have been in and checked on everyones progress, needed to rest my very poor attitude and get my headspace right !
What a lot of changes since September and so many BFP's, really has cleared this out alot, in a very good way.
Welcome to all the new people, and good luck with your journies.
Loula - I can so relate with you at the moment, I dont think the TWW every gets any easier.
I hope everyone is doing well and gets some nice presents from Santa !!!!
What a coincidence, I logged on today to see if I can find out some info on crinone and Megans first post had this in it.... how lucky.
I have just undergone my second round of IVF, a flare cycle with the hope of getting better eggs, We got 17 eggs with 12 fertilising, which I thought was wondrful but unfortunately we only had three to freeze, I know I should be happy with this but I was just disappointed with the outcome. Especially considering that we dont appear to have a very good success rate when they thaw out.
I am currently in the TWW with having a transfer Thursday week ago. Just a question though, Af was due last Saturday and I had some bleeding on Sat and sunday but it appears to have stopped would this be because of the crinone ? Normally when AF is due she turns up with a vengenance, irrelevant of crinone or not.
I am due to have my BT on Thursday and am too scared to do a HPT or get my hopes up. But not sure what to think.
Thanks for your help and it is good to be back and share this ride
Take care and best wishes to everyone.

Hope everyone is well and that those of you in the 2ww are staying as sane as possible.
Loula - Hope you are coping, hang in there. I know how it feels & I am sending you many positive thoughts.
DJTTC - Cant wait for Robbie Williams, something to think about other than TTC for a week anyway. Helps the wait till January pass more quickly.
Sari - A little beleding just after your TF could be the implantation - I am not an expert but have read that implantation can cause slight bleed & the timing is spot on. So it may be a good sign.
Sari - Goodluck with your BT on Thursday. Will you get results the same day?
Loula - Fingers crossed for a BFP!
Boo - YAY for the cancellation! Less than a week to go, hope all goes well.
BIG Hello to everyone else, sorry for my lack of personals.
My temp is still high, hoping that it doesn't drop. Shopping day tomorrow and am thinking if I should buy a HPT or not? I want too, but I don't want to buy one, get all excited and then have AF show. Suppose I will just see if one ends up in the trolley tomorrow or not LOL.
Hi all hope you are well. Baby dust and sticky vibes to you all
Thank you for you kind words and support after my EPU, doing much better now and I am off the couch. A little cramping at times but I guess that can be expected.
Well finally in the 2ww as of today. Had my ET this morning and seems a lot of ladies are trying to get in for christmas as well so the clinic is very busy. We only put 1 embrio back, I asked for two but was told due to some law and my age they are not allowed to transfer two, so one went back in this morning and we got our first pic, so cute. We got 17 eggs from EPU and 10 of those made it to stage 1, then on day 3, 6 made it to stage 2 with the other 4 a day or two behind. Today we are not sure how many made it through but it looks like the best of the bunch was returned and maybe we might have 3 to freeze, but they are giving them an extra day for further growth,so they will confirmed on on there staus on Thursday. I hope they can freeze some as I am not in a hurry to go through another EPU but I guess if I had to I would just do it. Now I ma in the scared mode, the Dr told me if all goes well we are 2 weeks, 5 days PG today and PG test will be on the 16th, maybe santa will bring an early christmas gift? I am taking it easy and trying not to lift a finger, need to occupy my mind with something else otherwise I will be counting each day. I am happy to say to my family and friends that I really do have my babies first pic
Macca - how are you going? Ever since i asked about the OHSS i've been seeing the term pop up every where! (i've been doing a bit of research into what exactly is involved with the IVF process).
Nic - hi again! You know how much i'm hoping for a BFP for you
Loula & Sari - hope the TWW is treating you nicely
Dream bub - I've noticed a lot of little changes since starting acupuncture. I'm supposed to take my herbs 1 hr before or after a meal twice a day, during the week i'm ok beacuse i leave them on top of my computer at work to remind me but i tend to forget all about them on the weekend!
Jo - how are you going? Glad to hear you enjoyed Robbie
boo - it is strange the things you hear or read when you are TTC. It really surprises me how much a really do know about TTC and the female body, but more how much my DH knows. No OHSS for me, well it looked like I was getting some symptoms but feeling 100% after my EPU and glad no OHSS as I have heard it is not fun
nic - thank you for your well wishes and I guess one nevers knows
Thats great that you had at least one to transfer and maybe a couple of spare. For me knowing there was a couple spare made me feel a little better if it all didn't work.
The 2ww is long but you will get there
I got a BFP on Friday. I have everything crossed that you will get the same on the 16th!!
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.
