Just a reminder to all: all LTers love seeing a fellow LTer achieve that longed-for BFP, and we all find hope in one of our own having success in this difficult journey. But please remember that there are those who cycled with you who may not have received good news at the end of their cycle. Please do not post baby/child/pg tickers or pg related signatures (eg blinking BFP icons) etc in this forum out of respect for them.
As it's easy to forget to remove your ticker, please be advised that we will remove it for you if it's posted in here. Just easier, is all.
I'm third hopefully the luck has carried on to me to. Find out tomorrow, if there may be a chance that my eggs have hung on or not hope they have, but I guess if they haven't then I just get to wait till next cycle, still hoping for a bfp by christmas so it won't hurt so much to see my new nephew at christmas. Any good luck to all you wonderful strong ladies.
Hey Smithy, hope those little ones are settling in for the long haul. Wishing you all the best of
Wishing baby - I hope everything is okay come monday
Mrs M, good luck to you too
AFM: Saw the FS again last week and he agreed with only one frostie in the freezer, it may be worthwhile to go straight into another fresh cycle, so that's what we are doing! At the moment, we are DTD and trying naturally, but will probably be back on the synarel again late next week after the first blood test. Fingers crossed.
Anyone else had a quick break and straight back into another cycle? Any negatives/positives?
hi,
thought i'd throw my name in the mix. Good luck to all, whatever stage you are at.
hubby and i are in our first cycle. Just took the trigger shot tonight and am scheduled for pick up on monday morning. we are doing icsi and hopefully will be transferring one embryo on saturday morning next week.
have had a pretty good run of it so far. am hoping against hope it stays that way. but we are also realistic, hopeful but realistic.
It's interesting to follow everyone else's journey. as we are only starting out with ivf i do feel very ''green'' when reading what others have gone through. but i suppose all any of us can do is have hope and that is why we do this and why we keep going.
Mel- time off sounds like a good plan...here's hoping you get a great xmas pressie!!
Kaydee- good luck for the FET!
Meredith- hope you get a date set soon...feeling anxious is just part of it all I reckon! But I do hope you arent too stressed out...there are just so many steps along the way
babydreamtime- hope you get some dates set soon...it's good having a plan
afm- well feeling yuk today as AF has arrived (I did expect it)...and I always have terrible cramps and pain...but at least I know my body is working properly after the D&C, so that's something...we'll try naturally next month too, just in case...but if no luck, I'll get my next period around xmas day, and start on the pill then and get our next stim cycle underway
Possums - although I'm sorry to hear that AF arrived - it is good to know all is working properly and that you can start the steps towards another cycle before year end
possums - also sorry to hear AF arrived. looks like you & i will be on the same course leading up to xmas. i would expect my next cycle to finish around christmas day - i also figured that if AF does show up, then it will be a good time to start the pill again for my next down-reg ivf cycle. but here's hoping there's no need for either of us!!

Hi everyone ive been out of action for a while, im so busy! still not pregnant and still have had no progress or success with getting into an ivf clinic my GP who has ALL the history is on leave until january! and every other doc at the clinic is shall I say kinda rude and non english speaking, so id rather wait. I rang to make an appointment with urologist and was put on hold for about 15 mins and no one answered so I will try again today. I have my DP on menevit and I have started B6 this cycle, im now on CD16 and have been peeing on OPKS twice a day since CD1 and ive never gotten a positive allthough I have my usual ovulation cramps and stringy CM for the past 3 days and swear I have ovulated, 2 opk's got very dark but still a little lighter than the control line, has anyone else experienced this? also im using fertility monitor for the first time and I never got a peak but apparently you dont on the first cycle, so i will see next month! and to make things worse my best friend who is on the pill and only has "casual" partners is pregnant!!! AND she probably wont keep it and she is 8 weeks and said to me ' i have plenty of time to decide what I wanna do" i almost punched her out!!! I'm so crushed and im also doing my Registered Nurse 2 weeks training at the moment and guess what....My buddy nurse is 20 weeks pregnant, im a real mess today, my DP is depressed im depressed we are just struggling so much our bub was supposed to be due last week I think I have almost given up as every attempt I make at anything I hit a wall, I dont know how you all do it! ive even lost 14 kilos in 4 months and that has done nothing aswell. My mother got pregnant 1st time with me and my sister and she doesnt have a clue about all this and no one in my life has gone through this only my wonderful online friends. Any advice would be great, I just dont know what else to do I havent touched a drop of alcohol or coffee in 2 years or never even ever tried a cigarette in my life! that goes for my partner aswell! I pray ALL the time and I still get kicked down every month. I havent felt like Ive had a normal life for the past 2 years I feel like nothing is fun anymore I almost wish I was one of those women who doesnt want children! sorry for the rant but im just really fed up at the moment I even said to DP maybe we should use a condom and hope it breaks as ppl on birth control seem to have more success!
ME 21
DP 21-89% abnormal sperm
TTC#1 for 2 years
1 blighted ovum
just rang uorologist and cant get in til FEB 19th! im so devastated! I asked is it better to go straight to see a fertility specialist and she said no you have to come to the urologist as the fertility clinics are only for girl problems!!! Am I stupid or something! has this happened to anyone else, everyone is so reluctant to help us coz we are considered "young" age doesnt make medical conditions less serious i just dont get it.
21andTTC#1-- sending you a big HUG...so sorry for all the stress you are dealing with...
plus having your friend be pregnant and be so casual about it must be very very hard to handle...I can imagine I would feel the same way you do...plus your buddy nurse as well!
all your frustration and anger is very understandable, and so many of us have felt the same emotions...it can be hard to find people who do understand, but at least here, you will find support. Try and find ways to relax through acupuncture etc- it can help calm your mind and body if nothing else. And remember, you arent doing things wrong...sometimes some people just take a long time to have a baby.
Mel, as you say I hope we both have a christmas miracle, but if not, it will be nice to be cycle buddies .... and hopefully celebrate a BFP next February!
buliej- thanks...it is good to at least be at this stage now
