Hi to all, wishing you all luck wherever you are in your current cycle!
Sonyalouise: My FS decided to put me on a medicated cycle as my history of cycles were not really normal since i came off the pill about 3 yrs ago. I was really dissappointed when he first told me, but quickley got more relaxed about it because it is so much more controlled and it ensures that all your hormone levels etc are what they should be rather than leaving up to my infertile body and whether or not it wants/can do it that cycle. I haven't had any side effects to date, and i took my first pessary this morning....so far so good.
Transfer in 5 days....
Motherhood - GL for your EPU on Tuesday, for lots of good mature eggs.
Airline - GL for your BT on Thursday
Juniper - Don't you know no reno's while undergoing ART, LOlL, I think it keeps us pre occupied.
B2B - Goof luck for today.
Loops - Enjoy the break.
Melly Belly - Welcome. Everyone here is great and there lots of support, and you will never feel silly for asking quesyions.
AFM: AF is finishing up. This month was weird. I usually get AF around the 5/6 of the month and did in Oct, but also got it again last week. Far be it for me to ask why my body did this, just book on and hope these frostie bubs are stronger than the last ones. I think the nurse thought I was heartless when she called me, she asked if we will be putting 2 back. I said lets just see if they thaw first. Does that sound mean? I just know how bad we felt last time, 1 1/2 drive and 5 minutes away they called to say no thaws, we then turned around and drove home, it was the longest drive home ever I think. Anf my poor DH was heart broken.I want to be positive but want to be realistic too. But I know as the time gets closer I will get excited anyway.
Anyway hope everyone is doing well and sorry if I missed anyone. xxx
Rob- I dont think thats mean or heartless, your just trying not to get your hopes up too much ((hugs)) I hope they thaw well for you this time
sonyalouise-that so sucks, I hop AF turns up for you soon so you can move on typical comes when we dont want it and doesnt come when we do want it
motherhoodhereicome-I am so absolutly thrilled for you for you news, that is wonderful, after all the hard time you have been thru, you so deserve this, I have everything crossed for you EPU goes well and you will be on your way to a BFP very very soon
Hello and GL to the newbies
AFM- I am half way through the TWW, so far so good. Only just now starting to get only ever so slightly obsessed lol. Been worrying about job interview I had on Friday- which btw I got the jobbut that has definitly kept my mind off the TWW somewhat.
BT next sat & I will probably POAS Tuesday
Hi All. Junior 3 is on board!!! yeeehhhaaaaa!!! We transferred a 5 day blasty that defrosted beautifully which had expanded to fill, and then was expanding again to start bulging at the sides (which apparantely is a great thing although my other two have also done the same). I really don't get all this too much....as long as it's doing the right thing!!!! I've got the week off work so it's relaxation for me now!!! GL to everyone else!! I'll see you in the tww (although i'll still be floating around here as well to see how everyone is doing).

: spelling
B2B - thanks for the insight! I had heard of the alternative location ha ha. For me a 30 min lie down is not an option while I?m at work. I work in an office but only a few key people know about my IVF. The only place I could go is to disappear to the disabled toilet for 30 mins and lie on the floor!! This could be awkward. I think once I get started with the pessaries though I will get over my fears! Now go and put your feet up and enjoy your week off with Junior 3 on board!!
J76 - good question! I will definitely ask if they have to be evenly spaced. I usually leave home at 7am and get back by 5pm, so that might be too much of a gap.
Sonyalouise - hope things get sorted for you soon. The pill you speak of is how I bring on AF for every IVF cycle as I don't get my periods normally. I take Progynova (estrogen) for 3 weeks then Provera (progesterone) for one week and about 48 hours after the Provera I get AF.
Mummawannabe - well we can get each other through this cycle together then ha ha. I'm on progynova 2mg, three times a day. No increase, just the same dose the whole way through. I think! I also think I'll start the pessaries a few days before transfer and then 3 times a day after transfer. I wish it was just the crinone, I find that a breeze with no side effects. The progynova isn't too bad but I get fairly snappy usually after a week or two of it and I tend to have a little mini-explosion-tantrum moment! It's happened with each cycle thus far (I also take it to bring on AF each time as I can't take oral contraceptive pills to do that instead). I have my BT and scan tomorrow morning so will know more about my transfer day but I'm thinking it may be early next week!
MHIC - it's all sounding great for your EPU, good luck!
Tracy - congrats on the new job! GL for the rest of your 2ww -you are brave to plan to POAS so early, I've sworn off POAS after breaking my heart over it twice!
AFM - Day 10 today, off tomorrow for my first BT and scan for this HRT FET. Fingers crossed the lining is going ok. Finding this so different to a stim cycle it feels odd. But of course that will change with the pessaries ha ha. I promise I'll stop harping on about them once I start. It's just that fear of the unknown, plus working out if I do have to take them in the middle of a work day just exactly how I do it!

Mrs P we went 2.5 hour drive north of perth yesterday and then back in one day so the only way to take my pessary was in that gross place.......but I promise you.....it's soooo much more convenient!!!
for lots of good mature eggs.
typical comes when we dont want it and doesnt come when we do want it
but that has definitly kept my mind off the TWW somewhat.
