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
Hi ladies
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 :clap:. 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 :nahnah:( 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. :goodluck: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. :egg:
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.:angry:
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. :SAAF:
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!!!

Hi All
Just popping my head in. I've had a manic week, but now my dancing exam is over, woohoo. I am going in for my HSG scan tomorrow morning, and hope I feel ok afterwards, as I need to get some work done... Off to London Monday night!!
Hope everyone is ok. I'll let you know how the HSG scan goes tomorrow.

JBM Goodluck with FET next week
AFM Well I finally got a hold of my FS apparently they had all had the last three days off so there was no one in the office. Anyway the nurse has given me her mobile number now so if I need to contact her after hours I can. Anyway I let them know that I hadn't done the trigger and the nurse said that it was too late now to do it and my four eggs that I had will have turned into cysts now so we have to wait till next cycle and start all over again. So for now I say bring on AF.
hi everyone i have been out of action for a while now as I wanted to keep my mind off baby stuff for a while but couldnt keep away from here!
I see bel is pregnant, im very pleased, it gives me hope.
I found out my partner has 89% abnormal sperm :( i honestly thought he would be ok. Also he is only producing 1.5 mls of fluid when the average is 2 mls and anything above 85% abnormal sperm is bad. He got some blood tests yesterday for hormone levels and thyroid and such. results next week. Im so relieved to find an answer yet very disappointed as we will most likely have to do ICSI or use a sperm donor and it brings tears to my eyes to think i cant have his baby. I only want to have children with him not just for me. Has anyone got any advice or have their partners got the same problem. We have waited 2 years and just want to see some progress but are always hitting a wall. We have a referral for a urologist but he wouldnt give me one for monash IVF on the gold coast. I know we have gotten pregnant once but now we know the blighted ovum was mostly likely caused by a deformed sperm and I dont want it to happen again. I hate this waiting game! wat should we do next. My testing is soon and im scared there will be some other hurdle on top of this. Im so depressed I told my mother and she gives no support, she thinks we shouldnt even be trying because of our age but if we hadnt we would have to go through all this further down the track anyway! Would I have to do IUI or is ICSI the same thing? ADVICE PLEASE!
im sorry its all about me but im pretty upset and just need some positive outlooks. I came back and more of you are now expecting and im still left behind. i just want to see a heartbeat!!!!
Evening everyone - hope you are all enjoying whatever it is you are doing ;)
Possums - so glad that you are getting there and starting to hope again. Where would we be without hope, all of us that is all we really have isn't it - HOPE...... and I hope like anything that your turn will be just around the corner. Take care sweetie and don't let those bad days get you too down.
Sunflowers - good luck for you ET tomorrow
Mels77 - good luck to you to for your FET on Monday and well done for getting the ball rolling sooner.
KellyD - congrats on your house and I am sure that you are right about new house/new baby - lots of luck for your ET on Monday.
JBM - enjoy your day off with DH tomorrow and I hope that the Dentist went OK... and not too painful. Good luck for Thurs next week.
Babytruj - best of luck for your HSG scan on Friday. Have a safe trip to London next week.
Wishingbaby - I am so sorry that you have to start again, what a pain in the you know what. Thinking about you and sending you lots of love.
Smithy - lots of love and luck and positive vibes for your BT next week.
Bub4me - EPU is very emotional that's for sure - the whole process is, isn't it? I am sorry that you were devestated with the results and it is hard when you don't get the outcome you expect. But it does only take 1 little sticky embie for a BFP, so I am sending you lots and lots of sticky vibes and a big hug..
21 - so glad to see that you have joined us again. I have been wondering how you are doing. I am sorry that I can't offer any advice with your DH sperm or ICSI as we have only done IUI and IVF, but I wish you both all the luck in the world.
Kaydee78 - good luck with your BT.
WLB - hope you are doing OK, I think 1 week to test.
Mrs M - only 5 weeks left - hope you aren't going to insane waiting for your appointment. Glad that your Dad must be OK, but sorry to hear about your SIL, I hope it all goes well .
If I have forgotten anybody - I deeply apologise and send you and everyone here a great big hug.:grouphug:
Hey Guys
Sorry I've not been a round for a while. This weeks been a bit hectic. I had my dancing exam today, so thats one thing off my mind.
I go in for the HSG scan tomorrow, so will let you know how it goes then.
Hope you are all ok
H
Hi everyone...
wishing baby-sorry you have to start again
21- welcome back here...sorry I dont have advice....hope you have success soon
sunflowers good luck for ET
JBM- glad you are feeling bette and good luck for next week
babytruj- glad things are on track with you...and hope the trip is great
jodie- hi and all the best to you
kelly- glad you are feeling a bit better now
sorry to anyone i have missed! it gets busy in here
hi girls
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 :p
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 :pray: no AF...
Mels xx
Aaargh my post just disappeared into cyberspace ...
21 - I awoke from my EPU to discover they had done ICSI due to DH's sample not "prepping up too well". We weren't expecting that because I'm the one with the dodgy hormone system. Anyhow, it was very successful ... lots of frosties ... and now I'm pregnant!! Don't be scared of ICSI - it has a high success rate. For us, after 2 years of TTC and working our way through the various infertility trts with no success - one cycle of IVF/ICSI did the trick - it seemed so easy - great for you if you can fasttrack straight to that step.
Mels, KellyD - good luck for your FETs on Monday :crossfingers:
Babytruj - good luck with your HSG
Sunflowers - good luck for ET today ... into the tww
Wishbaby - well done for being so calm and positive about this cycle ... hope AF arrives soon and your journey continues quickly (and successfully) ...
JBM - countdown to FET ...
Bub4me - I was a bit emotional after my EPU ... I found the ending of Barbie in Princess & the Pauper particularly touching and was thinking that I seriously needed to get-a-grip on reality!! There is so much hope and expectation riding on it all so it's perfectly understandable. Sending you a big :hug: and lots of :stickyvibesgirl: for today.
Possums, Jodie, MrsM - hi
Ttc#1and 21 - i can understand your frustration on wanting to get started and it's such a shame that your mother is not supportive. To answer your previous question iui and icsi are very different icsi is where they take your eggs and inject them with a single hand picked sperm in the lab then put the embyo back. Iui is where they take a semen sample from your partner and they wash it and then inject it straight into your fallopian tube and allow them to fertilise your egg fairly naturally. Due to your dh's results you would pretty much have to go with icsi. As for your doctor not wanting to refer you yet... Is your dr a fertility specialist or a gp. If they're a gp go somewhere else with your test results and demand a referal to a monash ivf specialist. It's your rite to begin when you want. I hope this has helped. If you are not doing anything tomorrow there is a ttc meet up at southbank and i have met a couple of the ladies before and i think you would find coming along very inspiring and informative. I live at mudgeeraba and have offered anyone from the coast a lift so if you wanted to go pm me and i can take you up. Good luck sweetie.. It's an interesting journey.
Dee
ontrack - not sure i knew you got a BFP! congratulations!! well done - what an inspiration :clap:
mels
Hi,
Just wanted to say hello and send good luck to all of you. :bluedust:
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. :grouphug:
Sara
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.
Love you all!
Ontrack - I didn't realise you were PG! Congratulations :cheer: 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.

Hi Girls
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.....
