Long-term TTC & Assisted Conception - Oct/Nov 2009

hey girls,

Hope you are all well - I have not been on BB much lately but you are in my thoughts. I did a quick scan and of course read Rob's poem - bad idea at work - got the tears rolling down, but not too bad! It was a lovely poem - sometimes I think it is hard to put into words how we feel and that helps!

I'm really just a lurker these days as have not been posting much - but I'm still sending babydust to you all! I hope you have all been coping OK in this warm weather - I feel really sorry for those in SA.

Anyway - just a quick one - yet again. I'm at work and hoping to leave early being Friday! I'm going to try catch up with all your goss and where you are all at on the weekend!

Stay smilin and I hope you have lovely weekend's!

Hi ladies!!

Hope you're all well and looking forward to a good weekend.

Just a quick post, trying to spend some quality time with DH before he has to fly out again for work for another fortnight :shakehead: Have (quickly) read through where everyone is at:

Rob - what a BEAUTIFUL poem... so moving. Luckily my tears have dried before DH finished mowing the lawn, or he'd be wondering what's wrong with me! You've described the struggle for children so eloquently.

Juniper76 - :comfort: I hope you are doing OK, and that the MIL lunch was not too painful. You are right to want to let your sadness out, boys are wired differently to us, aren't they?! My DH didn't seem to know what to do after our M/C, I think its natural for them to want to be able to "fix" things.

Emma 1977 and coco1411 - :hello: I'm a newbie to this forum too - doing IUI.

There's more I wanted to say to people, but better go and spend that quality time... sending sticky vibes to everyone!

Happy Friday,
Leabie.

Afternoon girls, here is something to take your mind off of TTC ... I have been married to my DH for 11 years now. About 5 years ago the in laws decided not to ask us over for christmas, so since then we have just had christmas home on our own.

My in laws have nothing to do with our kids. Just remember this included no birthday calls, cards or anything not even from his parents. Funnily enough today my sister in law has decided to ask us over for christmas lunch with them all.

I don't want to be a pesimist but I am worried for our younger 2 kids. They have never understood why there grandma and grandpa have had nothing to do with them. Always asking why they don't visit us when we are only 2 farms over from the others. I just tell them it's nothing they have done, that everyone is different and it's better for people not to visit if they don't want to otherwise it will be unpleasant.

There wil be 6 other kids there on the day that have a Bond if you like, or relationship with their grandparents, I am worried how this will affect our kids, as they are 9 (10 next week) and 11. I don't want to put them in a situation that may affect the rest of their lives.

What do I do. Do we say yes and risk it, or do we say no and protect our kids from the unkown. Ok ladies help, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.

Rob - I don't have any kids..so my opinion is not based on experience...I personally think you should attend and go with the flow..i think the in laws will probably make a real effort with you and your family as not to look like "sticklers" in front of everyone else..i also think the children may enjoy getting to know the grandparents abit.. if the day doesn't work out then you'll know for next year...I was close with my inlaws and DH has 4 sisters, every xmas we spent with his family until a couple of years ago there was a huge family feud between siblings...every year since then they have invited us for xmas and you can see the pretences and cut the tension with a knife (all kids are oblivious, they're just happy to see cousins and play) so for the past 2 years i organise holidays away so then i can decline without looking like the *****y SIL...easier to say "oh what a shame we are going to ....." rather than "no thanks, i hate xmas with you!!" thats what i would really like to say. Anyway i think you should give it a go once and then take it from there. ;)

Hi Everyone

It sounds like there is lots of happy and sad news in here, and I think that is why I stopped visiting this site for a while... Sometimes you just need to get away from it all.
I am back, and hoping for some advice and encouragement as I embark on my first round of IVF. I think I have seen some of you before, maybe on another thread...
AF just arrived today, and doctor putting me on some meds tomorrow for this cycle 9Yasmin then Lucrin), then hopefully next cycle the IVF process starts. Very exciting and nerve racking too... Just don't want to get my hopes up that this could work!! But also want it so so badly it hurts. And I know you all know how I feel, so thank you for just listening....

I'm still trying to work out what is actually involved in the IVF procedure... my doctor has told me, but you know when you are in there, you just can;t get your head around it all. Any sites you guys know of that give detailed descriptions of what happens and when, and what all the drugs are and what they do etc?

H

Babytruj - :welcome: back!! Sorry to hear your IUI's didn't work out and it has come to this....in my opinion I feel more confident with IVF (even though it hasn't worked yet) than i did with IUI. I don't know exactly what sites to refer you to, but what i did was google the name of the drug etc.....I am with ivf australia and if you ggogle their site there is information on the procedure there somewhere..the rest i learned from the girls on here...someone always has an answer or explanation for you....and you just pick up things as you go...the more times you have to go through this ordeal the more you learn!! Don't be afraid to ask anything...all the girls are great!! GL and i hope you get the support you need here...Any particular Questions?? Ask away!! :D

Hi ladies! Thanks so much for just being here. :grouphug: Lunch with the MIL turned into lunch, afternoon tea and late night shopping. ;) We had fun and even started our Christmas present shopping. DH was out yesterday afternoon with my parents and he decided to tell my Dad about our m/c. We hadn't until now because he doesn't want my Mum to know (long story - she can be difficult and I can't handle that right now). Anyway, this means that the news is slowly spreading through those closest to us... I ended up going out for lunch with Dad today (yes, DH filled up my day again!) but he didn't say anything, which was a relief.

But on the brighter side, we had our new dishwasher delivered and installed today! We're yet to test it out though...

Emma, hi and welcome! I hope those three months pass very quickly and your first IVF cycle works a treat! :goodluck:

Rob, if there's a chance it will allow them to develop a relationship with their grandparents then it sounds like a good idea. Probably best to have an escape plan up your sleeve though? I hope it does go well if you decide to go. :hug:

babytruj, we all have times when we need to step back and avoid other people's problems to concentrate on our own. I hope your first IVF cycle works a treat too! I know there are some great websites out there which explain the procedures, but do you think I can remember them? :redface: I just googled "IVF protocols" and the first result that came up was for the Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago. They have some very detailed explanations with lots of pretty pictures of follicles. And as Emerald Star mentioned, most of the Aussie clinics will have a description on their websites. If you check out the one I mentioned, you want to look at the "Long Lupron" protocol. Lupron is the US name for Lucrin. And also as Emerald Star said, if you have any particular questions we're all here for you! :goodluck:

Hi
Emerald Star - thank you - I know my DH feels the same way - that there is more control with IVF> I was just so scared of all the drugs and self injecting that has to be done. I HATE needles, but my last IUI cycle they made me do injections of Gonal F at home, and I did it! So I decided I was ready!
Junipoer - Thanks for the advice. That is a very intereting site, and I have marked it as a favorite to look at in future!

Hi everyone else, Hope we all have a good weekend.

HI everyone,

Babytruj- I agree with the others- my suggestion would be to do your research to arm yourself with plenty of information then go to your FS with a list of questions. I'm with Queensland Fertility Group and their website has an area called resources with fact sheets available for all the different procedures. I was also given a step-by-step guide to the process which explained in plain language what you can expect at every step in the process. I actually found that a handy tool to copy and give to my MIL and other well-intentioned but poorly-informed friends and family. If you're interested, PM me your email address and I'll send it to you. Good luck!

Rob- Ooh, families are tricky, aren't they?! :wall: First of all I preface this by saying that I don't have kids but I'm an aunty many times over and my nieces and nephews range in age from 2 to 12. My suggestion would be to go along and see what happens. I totally understand your concern about the effect on the little kids but they are getting to an age where they can make their own judgements about things. Unfortunately, difficult people and relationships are a part of life and if they can have some experience with dealing with such things in a safe environment with you to explain and soothe their concerns then I think that's a good thing. By the way- you are obviously an excellent mother. xx

Hi ladies do you mind if i ask some A/C vetrans a question i am in the PGD IVF thread we lost our daughter to genetic reasons and i am currently doing my 1st cycle and i'm on day 4 of stimming my worry is my E2 levels i was supose to start last month but high E2 on day 1 cancelled that cycle so i went back on my vitex and got my E2 down to 187 this month so i got the go ahead anyway my BT on day 3 of stimms my E2 was 907 and i was told to start orgalutran the next morning day 4 is this normal i thought most start orgalutran on day 6 is my E2 a bit high my FS said she was happy with the progress and said i am responding well but i am concerned it will get to high and they will cancel my cycle has anyone else had levels like mine

Hi Guys,

It's 40 here, but cooler in the air con. Anyway straight to the reason for my post ...

FET is on Wednesday afternoon at 4:00pm

BT is booked for 30th Nov

Now everyone :pray: and :crossfingers: that our little embies survive the thaw.

Hi ladies cant believe how much things can change in a day!

Rob it's always hard to know what to do with family maybe the SIL is putting out an olive branch to try to bridge the relationship with the inlaws. Maybe Emerald is right go along see what happens and play it by ear? Good luck for Wednesday I'll be :pray: for you

juniper76 it's sounds like your DH is lovely and really wants you to try and move forward I'm sure nothing will ever replace the pain of your loss but your doing great trying to move forward and achieve your dream

:welcome: babytruj & ferrals4

AFM I had acupunture today and was told to rest as my blood pressure is a bit low. Did my POAS this morning and could have sworn I saw a faint line...they don't work great for me have my BT tomorrow so hopefully that will give me my FET date....it should probably be this Wednesday too

Hi Everyone

Babytruj - I too was terrified of jabbing myself in fact the closer it got the more difficulty I had going to sleep of a night. But I have to admit that once I was guided through the first one I couldn't believe how easy it really was. I also found my best support to be this forum. But so long as you find something that works for you it will help you through. GL!

Rob - GL for your FET on Wednesday, fingers crossed.

As for me, my visit here this time has been brief. I had my FET on 2 November and found out yesterday that I am pregnant. So am very happy about that. Yay IVF!!

Lots and Lots of :pink-babydust::bluedust: for everyone!

WOW Belle ~ that was quick! CONGRATULATIONSAll the best for a H&H 9 months!!

Rob ~ Goodluck with the in-laws if you decide to go, I think I would give it a try. But Im sorry im not used to that sort of thing as I get along with all my family apart from my father-in-law whom we never see. So perhaps one day I'll be in a similar situation. You're obviously really thinking of your kids welfare - so I really hope things work out for the best for you all.
All the best for Wed too! :pray:

Terry ~ Goodluck to you with your FET!

Babytruj ~ I understand your concerns - I was exactly the same moving from IUI to IVF. Im happy we are trying IVF now - I also feel more confident. The hormones etc arent really anyworse than the IUI, so If you got through that, you'll be fine. The Synarel nasel spray is a bit yuck but you do get used to it. All the best!!!

All the best to all and lots of babydust and (((hugs))). Hope you're having a nice weekend. Im at work but have had a bit of fun as well.

AFM - NO AF Yet!!! 4 days late...AF where are you???? :angry:

Lol, I'm having the same problem with my :egg: this cycle! I'm usually regular as clockwork, but, of course, my O is now officially late just when I'm waiting on it to count down the last 2ww before our next IVF... :doh:

Belle, congratulations! :dance: I'm glad your stay was short and sweet.

ferrals, I guess she's worried the higher E2 level might trigger an LH surge (and then O). Generally, the reason they don't want E2 levels too high at trigger is that there is some correlation between high E2 levels and OHSS. If your FS is happy with your progress then I would try not to worry about it (easier said than done). Let her do the worrying - that's what she's there for! :goodluck:

congratulations Belle!! fantastic news!!!:dance::dance::dance:

Belle congratulations that's fantastic news :clap:

Hi to everyone else hope you had a great weekend.

Emerald Star its always hard wiating for AF to arrive and even more frustarting when you want it to come so you can start your cycle.

AFM I had a blood test yesterday to test my surge and the nurse couldn't do it she tried 4 different places was really happy when it came out negative but this morning I did my POAS and its positive so now waiting for the clinic to call and organise my FET transfer on Wednesday Got the call transfer is this Thursday. :crossfingers: one of my little snowbubs thaws nicley

Morning ladies

Emerald Star - you can add me to your list of "awaiting results". I have had my BT aready this morning, and am now just waiting around for the results to come in sometime today. Fingers crossed for a BFP. Also, I read in the TWW thread that Baby2Bee received a negative last week.

Hi to all the other gals in here. Sorry can't stay as we just moved into our new house and I have the world's supply of unpacking to do. Will keep you all updated on my results today.

Wishes xoxo

Hi girls, just wanted to pop in and let you know we got a BFP today!!! DH and I are thrilled and so excited. We just can't believe it. My bHcG is 116 and my progesterone is 442!! I have another follow up BT on Thursday to check how my levels are progessing. First scan won't be til about 7 weeks apparently. We put 2 embies back at ET, so will have to wait til scan to find out if there is 1 or 2 in there.

I have always wondered how I would know if I was pregnant - if there would be any signs? And about the only thing I can say for this cycle was that I noticed my nipples were hard a lot of the time. Not sore, but I guess you could say sensitive instead. No nausea or anything. I also did have extremely bad abdominal pain 2 days past ET so I'm now guessing that could've been implantation.

I will continue to lurk in here so I can keep an eye on everyone's progress. I hope you all get the BFP you're after. I am hoping and praying and have fingers crossed for everyone.

Thank you for all the support girls, it has meant the world to me.

Wishes xoxo

Congratulations Wishes !!! :hooray: and a happy and healthy 9 months to you !!
Wishes..YOU are on THE LIST..!

Baby2bee - if you are out there..so sorry hun!! :comfort:

Wow..these BFP's are coming in fast this month!! Great job girls!!! :clap:

Hi Ladies,

It has been a while since I have posted, I have just been lurking, popping in every now and then to see how everyone is going. Thanks for the updates Emerald they have been great. I am not going not going to write any personal this time, I will try and catch up with everybody over the next few days.

This is a me post, sorry :redface:

I had a transfer on the 10th of October, slight spotting on the 19th and 20th of October, negative blood test on the 23rd of October. I was told to call if AF didn't turn up in a week. Well AF didn't turn up so I went in for another test and it was negative. I was then told to wait another 2 weeks. Well the two weeks was up on Friday and AF was nowhere to be seen. Was feeling a little nauseas on Saturday. Exactly how I felt both times I had BFP's.

So took a test and is was a very, very, very faint positive. Took another on Sunday and it was a little stronger. Had a blood test this morning and HCG was 43.

The nurse was confused, my doctor was confused and I am confused! :confused:

The nurse said a negative is less then 2 HCG and a positive is more then 100 HCG. They gave me three options.

1 Extremely late implantation
2 Eptopic Pregnancy (but unlikely)
3 Despite the fact I had no AF I have ovulated and it is all natural.

Has anyone out there heard of this happening to anyone else?

I am to go back and get another test on Thursday to check if levels rise. I am not hopeful because in the last two hours my lowerback has started to ache, which is a sure sign of AF, but who knows what is going on.

Once again I am sorry it was all about me, I have noticed there are quite a few new faces mixed in with a few familiar ones. Hello to evryone and I hope you have had a good start to the week.

sorry Emerald Star. I'm out - it was a BFN for me. Of course I tested 7dpt and i got a beautiful positive but for some reason like the 2 cycles before it, it doesn't last. I'm seeing FS tomorrow to discuss what we think will be my second EPU, hopefully to have a fresh transfer as opposed to the frozen's i've been having.

I'm still lurking though and will let you know how we go tomorrow.

Wow the list of positives is growing lets hope it is the lucky month....

Emerald strar - please add me to the list awaiting results 20-11 (4 more sleeps)


GL everyone

Dang it, another double post! Sorry, still getting the hang of it...

Hi ladies! Wow, so much going on...

Firstly, CONGRATULATIONS to Belle333 and Wishes :dance: :leap: for your BFPs! That's such wonderful news. Wishing you a H & H 9 months.

Ferrals4 - so sorry to hear of your loss of Abbi :hug: have fingers crossed for this cycle for you.

Baby2Bee - :hug: sorry to hear you're out, good luck for your FS appointment tomorrow and hope you get the answers you're looking for.

Sonyalouise - :crossfingers: that you've just got a slow starter on your hands?! Good luck for the follow-up blood test on Thurs. I read about something similar happening to someone (on a different forum), don't know if she was doing IVF though?

Good luck terry and Rob for your transfers, and nicoled & MHIC for your results :goodluck:

Juniper76 - I can relate to you waiting for :egg: - last cycle I stressed so much about it coming (DH was flying out OS for work around the time it was due) that I actually delayed it by a week! :wall: Needless to say we had to cancel the IUI cycle. You can imagine my response when the nurse told me that I'd probably caused it... Now I'm stressing about stressing, and trying my hardest to relax - soooo much easier said than done though, eh?!

Sorry for all that I've missed, good luck to all of you waiting!

Cheers,
Lea.

Hi Girls,
I just been lurking lately. Still trying to get my head around my BFN. Just wanted to pop in for a couple of persies.

Baby2Bee- all the best for your appointment tomorrow. I hope you get some answers.

sonyalouise- sorry you are having a hard time at the moment. Not know what is going on is the hardest part. :hug::hug:

wishes- just read your news in the 2ww. congratulations again.

Belle- All the best for a H&H 9months.

Rob and Terry- GL for your upcoming transfers.

Hi to all everyone else. hope you are all doing well.

Hi girls, thanks so much for all the well wishes. I still can't believe that it was actually a positive today, and I am actually pregnant. It doesn't seem real. I've never been pregnant before, so it's all new to me. I will be hanging out for our first scan in about 3 weeks time.

Sonyalouise - Hey, I've been wondering about you. Fingers crossed that your levels go up and you get that long awaited BFP.

Baby2Bee - I'm so sorry again about your BFN. I hope the FS appt tomorrow will bring you some answers.

Nicole - Good luck for your BT soon. Keep us all updated.

Hi to all the other lovely ladies out there. Wishing you all the best for whatever stage you're at in your cycles. Sending lots of :pink-babydust:

Wishes xoxo

Hey motherhood i diddnt know you in this thread also.

Juniper-thanks for that i think i will let my FS do all the worring.

Wishes-congratz on your BFP i hope we see many more.

Sonya-i have a work college that just went through a similar thing weeks late many neg hpts 1st BT hcg was 5 a week later it was 23 or so then the next week it was 50 but as there was no doubling they called it a chemical pregnancy and she has yet to have her AF but her levels are not really going anywhere so she doesnt know what to think either.

Leabie-thanks i have my fingers and toes crossed to.


AFM- i am so tired have worked some late nights and had to be up early for BT and U/S but i got todays results my E2 is 3005 so still a little high but ok to continue i have 21 follicles which is good but only 7 or 8 of those are big enough so far to to make it to EPU if i'm lucky one or two more might catch up in time but they doubt it as the others are getting quite big anyway have to have another BT and U/S wed to see whats happening so i am happy all is going well i would have liked more bigger follicles as we need a lot of eggs for PGD testing is 7-8 a good number it seems such a waste to have 21 and they wont all get big enough for egg pick up.

Just an Update ladies...new information has arrived :lol:

Emerald star ~ thanks for the updates, it help so much to keep track and I hope AF arrives for you so that you can have another try.

GL to the others waiting for results - I truly hope there are more BFP's very soon.
I know Ive missed people and Im terribly sorry, its so hard to keep up.
Thinking of all ~ :bluedust::stickyvibesgirl:

AFM ~ Just waiting until Feb still, obviously to start meds in Jan sometime, its coming around quickly now YAY. We havent sold our tractor yet but have a little bit of money from tax returns etc so I'll be putting some of that aside and saving each week so we have enough for the pre-payment.:)

Loops12 - Hi Girl!! YES AF arrived to day...i will start "shooting up" on Thursday so finally i am on my way!! yay!!!.....so happy to hear the positive tone in your post...and FX for both of us this time round.....hope i get a great xmas present this year and if you don't fall pregnant naturally before FEB I wish you get the best Valentines present ever!!! ;)...GL but i'm sure we will keep posting until then....:D

EmeraldStar that's great news waiting for AF is just as bad as the 2WW. I can finally feel you :)ing I agree with you it would be a wonderful Christmas present...shall we both write a letter to Santa and hope he listens

Terry - writing to Santa sounds great...but i don't wanna take the glory from all those kids hoping to get their toys on xmas :lol:.....i think i'll pray instead :pray: kids haven't taken over that market yet..so i might be in with a chance with the man upstairs :lol:
BT for pregnancy will be around the 22nd Dec.....lets pray 3 times a charm or at least some extra ones for freezing this time round.

Hi girls,

Just thought I would catch up with a few personals.

Wishes- Congratulations I am so happy for you! :leap:Hope everything progresses well for your blood test Thursday.

Emerald- Thank goodness your AF has finally showed up. Lets hope that this is the last one for the next nine months.:pray:


Leabie- Thank you for the positive thoughts.


Ferrals- Your story about your friend helped me get my head around what is happening. It is good to know someone else there has experienced the same thing. I am hoping it is not the same issue, but at least I will be a little more prepared if it is a late chemical pregnancy.

Star bright- Thank you for thinking of me, I understand what a difficult time this is for you.:comfort:

Terry- Hope you get the results you are looking for tomorrow.

Loops- Sounds like you are feeling a lot better about your situation, I hope your tractor sells by the end of the year.

AFM I am quietly going insane. This two day wait is the worst wait time I have had to endure. I didn’t think anything would be worse then the TWW, but I was definitely wrong!

I have POAS every day. I am desperately trying to compare them to see if the line is getting darker. I think it is and I still have nausea hanging around in the background.

Sorry to all the ladies I have missed, I think it will take a little while to catch up with everyone again.

sonyalouise - I am :pray: ing its a BFP!! 2 more sleeps hon!!.....hang in there.

Hi Everyone,

Thought I'd pop in & join you! I got the go ahead today to start the drugs tomorrow for our fresh IVF cycle. The only thing is when the clinic phoned this afternoon they said that my LH level was nothing so I have to take additional drugs to help boost that a bit. I haven't had to do this before so hope the fact that my LH level isn't ideal won't have any adverse impact. So I've started the syranel tonight & will continue to spray twice a day then the puregon dose 175 starts in the morning. Next blood test will be Saturday. Thanks for letting me join in & I wish everyone luck!!

OMG girls so excited. Embryologist just rang and the first 2 embryo's they thawed have survived. :clap: YAY, So I will officially be on the tww this afternoon so Emstar my BT will be on Nov 30 so you can add me to the list.

Have to go have a shower and head off, have a great day :D

Rob well done that's great news...hope to be joining you tomorrow
