Thanks girls! So I'm PUPO now! It went well, 5 day blastocyst embie looking healthy apparently, they only needed to defrost the 1! So now the long wait till 20 november. (Today is exactly 5 months since we found out our first bub died, it's exactly one month to our wedding and the day of the blood test is my favourite brother's B'day. So partly all very positive! Also today my mother in law's missing hand luggage has arrived in Perth after having been missing for 2,5 weeks! Yay!) Off to acupuncture later, a late appointment unfortunately so another hours wait before I go!

Good luck me4ever. Hope it sticks for you. Are you in perth? If so what clinic? I am in Perth.

Also how much acupuncture is worth doing & when? I tried a while ago before ivf but found it boring & didn't feel it did anything for me. Just considering it again with this cycle.

Afm - all levels baseline for me so just need to wait for next bt next Wednesday.

Sorry for the selfish post but I need some advice: I had my bloodtest this morning but results came back as inconclusive as my hcg was only 42 at 16dpo.
Do you have any experience with hcg levels? Could my bubba still be viable?
I'm so shattered tonight I don't know what to think...

Stay positive nire. Anything is possible - certainly doesn't rule it out all together. Justin for the ride, cause there's nothing you can do whether it sticks or not... I found the only way to stay Dane was just to remind myself to go with it.... After all it does mean you are pregnant! Just not far along yet!

be nice to yourself xox

sending sticky vibes to all of you!!

Hi All,

I've left belly belly some time ago to have a break from posting. I'm currently ttc and have been for 1 year now.

I have PCOS and endo, my husband and I had an ectopic pregnancy last year this time, I was lucky I miscarried naturally.

I'm off for a GP visit tomorrow and hopefully get a referral to public gyno unit to go in and have a look to see why we haven't fallen pregnant since.

I've previously been taking metformin, however decided to stop.

I'm wondering if anyone has used the progesterone creams? can you get them with out a script? are they very expensive?

I've tried to go the natural route, without much success.

I am looking for some advice and what should I do from here? honestly?

I look forward to getting to know you all and making some new friends that I can confide in and support in their dreams of falling pregnant.

Love Jokerred. xxoo

Nire- stay strong and keep positive thinking!!! Sending lots of sticky vibes your way!!! xxx

Welcome back JokerRed! I sincerely hope you get some answers soon, TTC is such an emotional process that is way past frustrating! Oh and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your signature!!!

AFM: I'm struggling to study for this exam tomorrow... Not looking forward to it at all!!! Just had my increased dosage of Puregon (66.6 IU) and it FREAKING HURT!!!! Not sure why this time it hurt, when it never hurt before... Maybe because I injected where there wasn't enough 'fat'...

Keep smiling lovely ladies!!! xxx

Nire, I'm sorry to hear you're in beta hell. Been there, done that and it sucks so much. If you did a fresh transfer, then the low number means the odds are against you. If you did a frozen transfer (I don't think you did though, did you?), then you have a slightly better chance because FETs are more likely to produce healthy slow-starters (than fresh cycles). I'm really sorry I can't give you better news. I'd be preparing myself for the worst, but I also wouldn't give up hope just yet. FX you have a little fighter there who catches up.

Jo, thank you very much for you help with the list. Could I impose upon you further to look after it a little longer? Explanation to follow below... FX the higher dose of FSH works for you. FWIW, it's still quite a low dose (lowest I've ever use is 75iu and that was for IUI). I think you said they were worried about over-stimming, didn't you? I'm guessing that's why they're playing it cautiously. Better to take it slow and find the right dose than over-shoot the mark and end up with too much. It's frustrating though.

N2L, the longest I was on synarel was 32 (very long) days. My FS had holidays so I started suppression at 7dpo as normal but had to wait until he returned before I could start stims. That was my first IVF and the worst s/e I ever had from the synarel (I couldn't even drive because it made me so dizzy). I would have to admit to a few extra half sprays like you describe too...

Me4ever, FX for you.

Hi and welcome to our new members too!!

Afm, we're back from our trip, but I saved the excitement for the end. We were packing the car yesterday morning to leave Coffs and head back home when I had a fall in the resort carpark and hurt my ankle. The resort manager ended up calling an ambulance to check for broken bones, so our departure was delayed by an hour. The staff were wonderful - there was someone there almost immediately after it happened and they helped look after DD (she even got a ride in one of their electric carts) while DH finished packing the car and checking out and while I sat in the carpark waiting for the ambulance. The paramedics said they thought it was just a sprain and that an x-ray wasn't required, but to see my GP today if it was worse. Well, this morning it was worse, so I went to see the GP and she wanted an x-ray, but I'm 12dpo and my BBT shot up this morning (following the same pattern as my BFP last year), so first I had to get a b/t to check my hcg levels. It came back negative, so I managed to get into the x-ray place just in time before they closed. Hopefully I'll get the results tomorrow and I'm really hoping they will show it is just a sprain rather than a fracture. I'm hobbling about on crutches and can't get to the computer much because of the need to keep my foot elevated, so not sure how often I'll be able to log in for the next few days. I'm really dreading AF since it's normally very, very heavy for me and I'm not going to be able to get to the toilet in a hurry. It's going to be a nightmare! I think I'll have to break out the heavy duty maternity pads and hope for the best... *sigh*

No problems lovely! Hope the ankle is better soon!!! They probably told you in the emergency room, but keep icing it and take some anti-inflammatories like voltaren or neurofen to reduce the swelling!!! xxx
