sunflowers- well done...good results for you...and I hope this cycle brings you your BFP
bub4me- it is an emotinoal time...ivf is so much strain and tension, i think things build up. It only takes one! I'd say you will feel a bit better after the ET
smithy- good luck in the 2WW!
MrsM- hello and hope you are doing OK and that things are perhaps improving with your dad
kaydee- you're very organised for xmas! impressive.... hope your FET arrives soon
Mel- great news with the FET planned for monday! maybe a xmas present early for you
Kelly- hope you are feeling a bit better
JBM- hope you are well and your spirits are lifted a bit
jodie- hello, wishing you the best
afm-- well trying to track ovulation using OPKs this month, in the hope of trying with a natural cycle in case of a miracle, before we resume IVF. I think things are a bit out of whack though after the D&C. Still wish we were already able to resume IVF, even though I know the time out is probably something I need right now emotionally.
Still pretty emotional and up and down after all that's happened. I cry when I see babies quite a bit etc... other times I feel really angry and bitter about it all. But I also have moments of happiness and hope in my life, so that's a start.
Possums - ttc is a pain in the rear .. SO many up's and downs ...before my daughter, I'd also cry when I saw babies and feel really angry and bitter about my infertility ... we don't plan on doing ivf again .. this is just our very last shot at completing a family .. we are blessed. I just want to give you a big ((HUG)))) stay strong ... live today to the fullest and let tomorrow fend for itself .. ttc can rob you of so many years xo GOODLUCK!!!
sunflowers- thanks...DH and I have discussed how it's certainly robbed the past year, and how hard a year it's been with losses too.... trying to still live and enjoy life in the moment is an aim of ours...it's easier said than done isnt it! when the whole yearn for a baby thing still sort of hangs over things. I'm trying though.
hope you are off the rollercoaster soon
Bub4me & sunflowers: Good luck with you ET tomorrow. Hope you both have sticky ones there.
Possums: thank you for your concern, even with all you are going through you are still here for all the other girls.
Mels77: I'm having my ET on Monday as well. 2 x frosties so we'll be in the TWW together... Are you having 1 or 2 put back. It is good to see that a little pushing got you there sooner. Even though our FS are the experts I think we should have some say about what happens to our bodies.
AFM: Uto seems to have settled down a lot today . Hopefully it doesn't rear it's head again after my scan tomorrow. It's been a busy couple of days for us... We bought a house yesterday and settlement is due on the 16th Jan, so by my guess that would make me about 3 1/2 mths UTD (positive thinking and all that). Also DH got his Letter of Offer on a new job which he starts in 3 weeks. So as they say new house, new baby. But at least I think I'll now have lots of distractions in my TWW. Anyway, I'll drop back in tomorrow to check on you all and to confirm my lining is now perfect for the ET on Monday.
possums: fingers crossed for you. hang in there, i think as time goes on you are less emotional, well i was anyway but sometimes still have bad days and as you said it's ok to have a bad day. good luck my friend xxoo
smithy: glad you're feeling nearly normal again, sorry but you just can't be completely normal in the TWW as it sends you a bit crazy ( well me it does). good job with the $$$ too, you did well there.
sarah: hi. counting down to doctors
mels: hoping this is the month for you with your last minute FET. see you in TWW soon
kelly: i'm not long behind you, rob FET on thur next week. good luck
kaydee:m hoping for a christmas BFP
bub4me: look after yourself. hope tfer goes well.
lisa: good job with eggs. see you in TWW very soon
afm: well day off tomorrow, yeah. dh are going to have a great day together. and hopefully i won't be thinking of the horrible dentist today. and i have to go back next week on wednesday. so i'd better be on time for FET on thur or else.
i am feeling much better and more relaxed now and even though i am not as positive i just think if it's a good or bad egg i can't do anything about it. but fs did say we'll prob do some extra support this month. only 3 frosties left.
Possums - sorry about the miscarriages, they are heartbreaking also (hugs))))))
JBM - goodluck next thursday, I hope the dentist goes okay and does not delay anything!
Kelly - Congrats on the house and excellent your joining US also very soon..goodluck MONDAY!!!
kellyD - yay! we'll be TWWrs together! I'm having 1 put back. What an exciting time for you, new house, DH new job...things are really moving! Will cross my fingers for us both for our ET's on Monday. Glad your UTI has settled down.
JBM - how exciting a FET on Thurs! we'll also be TWW'ing together. Bring it on - will have fingers crossed for you.
Babytruj - good luck with your HSG scan and enjoy your London trip (good luck also with the dancing exam)
wishingbaby - so sorry about your set-back. damn, this is hard enough without having to deal with FS's being absent. how very frustrating. will pray for a quick visit from AF for you so you can get moving again.
21 - glad you came back to see us. I can't speak from experience, but a friend of mine had ICSI with her DH's extremely poor sperm - and they now have a healthy baby boy. Don't give up hope. Perhaps start investigating your IVF options? Sounds like IUI wouldn't help for you as it is only useful if the sperm is good (as I understand). Try not to be scared at the prospect of IVF ... it is a gift to help us all get that BFP that we are otherwise struggling to get. Hang in there. And good on you for trying this early - you're absolutely right that if you waited you'd be dealing with these issues in another 10+ years (and possibly also dealing with more issues if you were older).
Jodie - hi to you - hope all's well.
sunflowers and Bub4me - hope you're both feeling well after EPU. Then climb aboard the TWW rollercoaster
Possums - thinking of you. You're a very brave women. Hang in there, it won't be long till you have another BFP.
I think that's everyone? So sorry if I missed you.
AFM - had my pregnyl trigger last night. Damn that thing hurt!! I feel like I've been punched in the tummy! It was the first time I'd had pregnyl - and hopefully the last! Waiting to hear from my clinic the time for my Monday FET, then onto a TWW...and no AF...
Just wanted to say hello and send good luck to all of you.
I'll be starting Lucrin next week for my first IVF cycle and am very nervious at the moment but also exited that it's finally going to start. We're doing PGD because of a genetic condition and will use ICSI with PICSI sperm selection due to my partners poor SCSA result.
Possums: thinking of you and keeping fingers crossed that things look up soon.
HI again girls thankyou for all the repsonses! Too many to name! I have researched ICSI and I feel real good about it as long as I dont have any fertility issues it should work great! It was my GP who is generally really good he said he wants my partner to see a urologist first but It has been 2 years and we just want to get started with ivf, is there any reason Y we cant just go to an ivf clinic? do u HAVE to do all the available Gp tests before going, I mean They do all the tests again anyway! I will ask for an ivf referral next time we go back as I dont want to waste money on all these treatments that arent proven to work on abnormal sperm. I will keep U all updated. Oh and im sorry I couldnt make it today to the meet up in brissy I had a nursing exam on and didnt see the post til just now! would have liked to though.
Ontrack - I didn't realise you were PG! Congratulations I am currently going through my first IVF, and had pretty much heard that we shouldn't expect to get a BFP the first time around, that it takes a few goes and rarely happens on the first try, so you are an inspiration. I will keep thinking of you when times get rough. I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!!
Had better run - am off for my ET now. I'm hoping our little embie (which we saw yesterday - BEAUTIFUL) will snuggle in for the TWW and that AF will stay away!
Hope everyone's having a great day with various ETs, EPUs, TWWs and general sniffing and jabbing.
Thanks for all your positive thoughts, but I need to rant now......
Well had follow up scan today, hoping the lining had increased from 8mm to 9mm for our FET on Monday and the scan showed the lining to be at 7mm (WT??). Wasn't suppose to go to the clinic after the scan, they were going to call but with the decrease I needed to see someone to find out what was going on.
Well I've been told that the decrease can happen..... So now have to increase my Progynova to 6mg a day and have another scan on Tuesday to hope the lining has increased to 10mm and now hopefully for the FET next Friday 14th November.
Has anyone else had this happen to them.....

21 ? I?m glad you feel a bit better with more information. Its always great when you have a better understanding of what is going on.
Possums, hang in there
Melss77, sorry to hear the Pregnyl injection hurt. Its gonna be less painful than actually giving birth, and for a great cause. Holding fingers for you
On Tra_k Congratulations
Everyone else, good luck and have a good weekend. I?ll try pop in while I?m away, but not sure how busy things will be
I had my HSG scan today, and it went ok. I was expecting worse, but its about the same as having an internal ultrasound, with a bit more lasting discomfort from the dye, but seems ok now The doc who did the scan said that the tubes all looked ok ? but I have to wait for my doc to confirm. Not what we wanted to hear, as we wanted to see a blockage, to explain why we have not conceived. Will see what the doc has to say next week, and see where we go from here
21andttc#1 - Hey.. You haven't missed the meet upin Brissy.. It's tomorrow (Saturday) morning) We're meeting at South Bank at 9.00am for coffee.. The offer still stands if you wanted to go..There's about 8 of us at the moment... Goodluck to all the other ladies
Dee
lilmisshaveachat - is there a thread for Brissie girls? I'm IVF#1 (had first ET today) and would be interested in catching up with some Brissie girls if it works out. Can't make it tomorrow - we're moving house and relaxing post ET. I'd like to know if there are any more get togethers, if you can include me.
. Hopefully it doesn't rear it's head again after my scan tomorrow. It's been a busy couple of days for us... We bought a house yesterday and settlement is due on the 16th Jan, so by my guess that would make me about 3 1/2 mths UTD (positive thinking and all that). Also DH got his Letter of Offer on a new job which he starts in 3 weeks. So as they say new house, new baby. But at least I think I'll now have lots of distractions in my TWW.

( well me it does). good job with the $$$ too, you did well there.
see you in TWW soon
no AF...
