Im pretty sure there are tonnes of reasons you would want to cry right now, and the effects of crinone could very well be one of them. I think sometimes it all just gets so overwhelming you just feel like crying for no particular reason...

Zap - how are you going? I hope the witch hasn't showed her ugly head?
Mel - hope the TWW is going super fast for you, my fingers are crossed that you won't need that IVF appointment!
Jane - how are things going with you? Not much longer to go now :)
Leis - woohoo about the holiday! Where are you off to?
Loula - bugger that your tr had to be cancelled! Hope your feeling better now.
Megan - How are you? I'm with Sushee in hoping that your emotional for other reasons :)
Jo - Good to hear from you, I know what you mean about that month taking forever! Hope you guys catch that egg this time around.
Keen & Two mums - Hope everything is well with you guys.
Well AF arrived today! I'm ok with it though - I had my little breakdown the other day, we've pretty much come to the conclusion that we arn't going to get a BFP naturally so DH & I decided to bring our appointment forward - only four weeks to go now I can't wait! In the mean time i'm just going to focus on getting fit and losing a few kgs (so i can put them all back on again over xmas lol!)
Lou, funny you asked me that today, i just got home from work and spent most of the morning with a post op patient with a very high WBC count. Your WBC should be between 4-11, so yours are more than double that, so yep, there is something a little nasty going on in there.... look after yourself now, and get ready for when you are better and you can have a snow bub in there...

Thanks girls for all the well wishes.
AF reared her ugly head yesterday. We will be doing another round of IUI in December if all goes well. We are off to the gold coast on November the 13th so now I am really looking forward to it!!
Take care Girls
Racheal
All these people going on holidays...anyone got room in their suitcase...I'm only little, I won't take up much room I promise!!
Bummer on the AF Rach and Boo...is so not fair.
Well I am 5DPO and feel nauseaus and have a headache and oily skin....I am so reading way too much into those symptoms. Also my blood sugar readings which are normally pretty spot on have suddenly gone out of whack for no apparent reason, something which I am told is another sign for us diabetics....hmmmm.....I need to stop obsessing, maybe if I go and do some sewing to occupy my obviously overactive brain.

:hello: Hi Ladies
I'm new on this site.
My name is Eleni I have been TTC since September 2005. DH & me tied the knot in October 2005. We have no luck. In July 2006 we embarked on a IVF roller coaster.
I was on the pill from 14 August to 19 September (is that too long when you are down regulating)
Synarel from 19 September to 26 September that was disgusting
Gonal F 187.5 iui not that painful
trigger injection 04.10.06
EPU 06.10.06 9 eggs
ET 08.10.06 1 embie grade 4
BT 23.10.06 BFN :crying:
On the 23.10.06 I was back on the cycle
Gonal F 225 iui 23.10.06 to 28.10.06
28.10.06 Scan went OK 8 Follicles on my right ovary & 4 in my left ovary
31.10.06 EPU 5 eggs
02.11.06 ET 1 embie grade 2 & 4 cells (is grade 2 a good embie???)
BT 16.11.06 now 2WW I don't know what to do different. In my last cycle I went to a wedding on the day of my ET & through my sisters Kitchen tea. Do you do normal housework - vacuuming, mopping, washing bathroom & toilet, washing clothes & hanging? I am not sure even though this is my 2nd cycle
I am :crossfingers: & wishing everybody :goodluck: on thier IVF cycles
Hi Helona, welcome to BB, I am also on the tww at the moment with my BT on Wednesday next week. I do normal housework etc, actually if anything I have done more the last week after transfer life has been really busy, especially work and I am flying to Sydney tomorrow as well so hopefully it's not a problem.
Lou - so sorry to hear about your cancelled cycle, hope you are feeling better
Megan - you sound like you are having a rough time as well, hope you are feeling better too
Mel - hopefully all the signs and symptoms bring a nice BFP this month how great would that be
Well I am not holding out too much hope for this cycle, I have started to get shocking cramps, I cannot imagine Crinone would wait this long to start giving me these syptoms and it is too late for implantation pain, so I suspect AF is on the way, the cycle days fit in with my usual PMS pattern. DH thinks I shouldn't be too worried until I have the test on Wednesday, but I really don't think it's going to be positive, Oh well wait and see now.
Can't wait for the weekend, it has been such an awfully busy week, starting to think this pace with work is not going to be something I will be able to maintain if I am doing IVF for a while, but we are having a nice break over Christmas and New Year so hopefully I will re-charge the batteries and get back into IVF next year if we need to.
Big hi to everyone I missed
Zap & Boo - bummer about the witch arriving, roll on next month hey.
Boo I am so glad you have bought forward your appointment.
Welcome Helona.
Almost the weekend, have a good one everyone.
Jo
Hi all and welcome Helona, i hope your stay is a short one IYKWIM
thanks girls for all you well wishes, and leis thanks so much for filling me in with the WBC. Bit cross really as the paperwork at MIVF said to go to Freemasons emergency (which is closed) so was told to go to epworth which ended up costing us ...............wait for it $400. when i spoke to nurse she said i should always go to womens!!! Also my SIL is a nurse and was agency at Epworth and she said it was strange that i went there as they dont like having Gynie's there.So to all GO TO THE WOMENS if in any dought!!!
Gyn has just telephoned to say she wants to see me at 10.40 today. I must say that the follow up from her is FANTASTIC and she is a wonderful doc, cant say i would have felt like i got this treatment from anywhere else.
BBL after appointment for personela
But Jane pls stay positive.
Just got back from my gyn's room where i had another WBC blood test to check my levels again and a scan where they found that i have a blood clot in my left ovary which will prob be what is causing the pain nothing to do about it really just rest!!and both my ovaries are chocker block with blood that will only be dispersed after my next af, and believe me im hanging out for af!!!
Did meet a lovely lady while waiting though for my scan. She's carrying twins yay for her. and she said you just cant give up, she had been trying for 6 years since she turned 40. so happy for her and hoping that her c/s goes well with a quick recovery.
I still dont know what the conection between my blood clot and my wbc is though. i am seeing another gyn for a follow up as mine is on a well erned holiday(i say!) Geoff Clarke. has anyone been with him b4?
Leis you may know of why the connection?
Lou, hun can't help you much with that.. my brain is on drain at the moment. Just google search and see what it comes up with..
Jano.. please don't give up yet.. I have heard so many girls say they swore they were getting AF and low and behold they were up the duff....
Me ... I am so tired it is beyond a joke.. might need a nanna nap before DH gets home from work ... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
leis xx
Well still no AF. I was hoping this Naturopathy was going to get me regular. However I shouldn't give up yet. Maybe it might come in the next few days. Still getting lower backache so something is happening.
Good luck to all the 2WW and good luck to those being investigated.
Hi guys just a quick one from me as I just got back from Sydney and I am knackered
I just want to clarify that I am not giving up, I think being realistic isn't a bad thing and I can't let myself get all caught up thinking I am pregnat when I am most likely not. I will be happy to be proven wrong, but really think it is highly unlikely that's all :) ...I guess all will be revealed next week
Have a great weekend everyone
Hi Jane sorry i hope i didnt offend you? Just trying to be supportive.
Lou - not offended at all, I just wanted to make sure you guys understood where I was coming from, I guess I am gearing up for next week and need to be ready. Don't you love the written word, it sometimes comes out wrong :) Your support and everyone elses is wonderful, DH is the same too, trying to tell me to wait and see, so that's all I can do.
Jano... I am glad you arn't overly obsessing with this cycle.. I am envious of you... I know if it were me, i would be out of control.. You have done yourself proud with your attitude with your first IVF cycle... I hope this brings you and DH the BFP...
Love and hugs Leis xx
Jane, I think I am in the same frame of mind during this TWW as you are. I have felt a few twinges yesterday and today (with a tiny bit of spotting yesterday) and I have geared myself up for a BFN next week. I'm not thinking about it in a negative way like I have given up or anything, but realistically it is more likely I am not pregnant than pregnant. But, I hope we can both have lovely BFP surprises next week and graduate to the belly buddies finally. ;)
Megan and Jane - i wish i had your attudes with my first cycle - I was sure it was going to work, I was young, healthy (i thought), and i had been pg naturally before (ectopic) but no and i was so so disapointed as the meds gave me all the signs.
Im hoping for you both and i understand where your coming from. It may sound silly to say but as time has gone on and ive done more cycles DH thinks im getting better at it.lol but i know what he meand - im less stressed!
Boo and Rach - So sorry that AF showed up. Lotsa hugs for you both.
BIG hello to everyone else, haven't been on for a week or so, and have been ultra lazy with personals.
Jane & Megan - Am thinking of you both and sending lots of BFP vibes your way.
Nic
How are you going Nic??
Im so hoping we get some graduates from here soon. I am keeping all crossed for you ladies. Chances for us have diminished yet again - hard to believe they can get less than 1%! Looking at possibility of an underlying cause that has not previously been examined - but unfortunately if that is the cause we are facing the guillotine for fertility. But we will hold out hope whilever there is some - although must admit is getting more and more difficult...
Jane, Megan - hang in there guys. Totally understand the 'preparation phase' - some of us just find it easier preparing for the worst rather than building up hope only to have it ripped out from under us, so yes, I agree with your approach. But each to their own. Plus I have found that different IVF cycles I have approached differently - although I do think it is not so much of a conscious decision - more just depending on where you are at the time, mentally I mean.
GOOD LUCK LADIES!! Lets get you all out of here!
Thanks Keen - preparation phase is a good way of putting it. I agree each to their own, we all have different lives, experiences and reasons for being on IVF so we are all bound to cope differently, and I imagine each cycle will also be different. I am so sorry to hear you have had more bad news, I hope you can get some positive news soon and someone can help. I hope you are coping OK.
thanks Jane. Unfortunately not really coping at all. And doesnt help when my close friend is giving me crap about not seeing me very much lately - this is one who has a 10 month old. I just wish didnt have to always explain our actions to others who dont understand. It sometimes really seems they dont care and just want us to "get over it"... yep, like its that easy...
yeah, so as you can see not my usual cheery hopeful self lately but trying.
Would be good if we could get some of you ladies graduated. That always lifts my spirits...
Hey Keen
Just wanted to say I'm so sorry to hear your news.
I know what you mean about friends too...all of my friends now have babies...and it takes so much emotional energy to just psych myself up to see them, that it just doesn't feel worth it much more...
Anyway just wanted to say that I really hope that you have some great news soon...and I'm thinking of you.
Keen - don't worry, you don't have to act any other way than how you feel in here, and I think giving your friend a bit of distance at the moment is very sensible. We have friends over last night for dinner with their 2 bubs and I said to DH when they left, don't you feel like we are getting left behind, it's like everyone is a member of this exclusive club and we're not. We are still getting those, "you'll understand when you have children" comments, which drive me insane.
Trying to "get over it" is useless to, you deal with it how you want/can and tell them to bugger off. I really hope things fix for you soon.
Oh Keen.... I'm sending you truckloads of :hug: There has to be some fantastic news coming your way soon..... *slaps* to your friend for giving you grief. Thinking of you.
Hey Megan - Things are good here... I think? Seriously though, DH and I had another chat today and he assures me he is ready to get another referral to the FS and that he is doing it because he wants too and not just to make me happy. Not sure if we will do something before or after xmas?
Not even sure if there is a Dr in town at the moment, so that's our first hurdle. Thanks for asking :) How's your DH?
Nic
:hug: ooohh keen hun, i am sending one huge hug your way sweetie.. and a big :angry: to your friend...
I am so sorry that things are going quiet your way at the moment, i really hope soon, that life makes a turn for the better for you and DH.. thinking of you...
:hello: everyone else, and Jano, when is your BT? leis xx
Hi everyone, i am new to this site, my details on TTC should be added to your list shortly. I am currently on my 3rd ICSI cycle, 1st one cancelled due to poor response with puregon, 2nd no eggs fertilised, 3rd ICSI fingers crossed it works. I had my transfer done October 28th and have my BT 15th November. This 2ww is killing me. I have had 3 shots of Pregnyl over the week, 3 days apart, last shot was friday, so i think i might do a HPT this friday...Goodluck to everyone on the 2ww.
Good Luck to you and hoping you get a BFP very, very soon
welcome
thanks loula.
Yay welcome jemel! I'm adding your details as we speak!
Thank you sushee, i appreciate all the help. Its so friendly here. I love it.
I joined during the TWW on my 2nd IVF cycke in 2004. 8 cycles and an IVF baby later, I'm now part of the furniture! Hopefully your stay (and everyone else's in here) is short.
Sushee, if you dont mind me asking.. did you have symptoms of being pregnant? Or did you think the worst?
Honestly? I had every symptom under the sun for each of my first 7 cycles, but I wasn't pg for any of them. It was the cycle where I had no symptoms bar a bloated tummy (which I thought was a reaction to the medication) that I was pg. I had no other symptoms, not even sore bbs, which is a definite on progesterone!
Then there are other women who get cramping who go on to get +ves, or sore bbs, or nausea. There is no fixed signal I'm afraid!
welcome Jemel - I have been watching your other thread about cramps and I am having the same problem at the moment. I started to cramp last Thursday and was sure I had PMS, now I wouldn't have a clue and am just waiting until my bt on Wednesday to see what happens. It is too hard to read anything into the symptoms I feel.
I think it has helped too that I have been super busy at work and haven't had any time to think about things, although I don't know how I will go tomorrow with the day off work, I will have to get my knitting out or read a book I think.
Good luck, it looks like your blood test is exactly a week after mine.
Hey everyone
I am new here too, I got artificially insemintated on the 28th i was on clomid and had one pregnly shot before insemintation was done. tww is killing me period is due on the 11th and i have done 2 home pregnancy test and they both have come up negitive:crying: plus i have every sign of getting period, but i just have to keep my chin up ( very hard to do at the moment) it was only the first cycle, i have a few more to go and if there not successful then we have to do IVF,
I hope that everyone gets :bfp: you are all so strong i have been reading some of the posts and you are all so amazing, just reading the stories makes me feel like yeah i am strong enough to do it all again.
Am having a few thoughts about getting Inseminated, i dont know wether its going to work for us as my partner has low sperm count and i have endo and PCOS maybe we should just skip the Insemination and just go do IVF seen as though we both have problems
would love any feed back
Welcome Penny!
I didn't have MF fertility problems, but someone here should be able to help. Insem is a great start and is definitely effective, as far as I know, but hopefully someone can give you some first hand experience here!
Hey Girls
Well i havent had the Hys-Co-Sal yet, the imaging place was booked out for this month so i am definatley booked in for the 23rd November which will make me about CD7, so i dont think i will get the IUI in before Christmas. Oh well, new year, fresh start. At least i will be able to partake in some Christmas Cheer!!! hehe
Zap and Boo sorry about AF showing her ugly head. Onward and upward hey girls!!
Lou sorry to hear about the tough time you had after your pick up, fingers crossed for your transfer tho!!
Jane and Megan fingers crossed you get your BFP this month, thinking of you, how much longer till the test?
Thinking of you all xxx
Oh and a big welcome to Jemel and Penny, you guys will love it here for sure, heaps and heaps of support, and a place where you can be yourself, vent, cry, and share your happiness too, everyone here is really genuine and caring, hope you two dont have to be here that long and have your BFP really soon!!
