hi all, just having fun with my laptop. i got it for our anniversary ( 11 years) we're having a big day out on friday and i can't wait. dh is having his ring re sized as he hasn't worn it on correct finger for prob 6 years , that is going to part of his present although he is dong it for me.

as for FET, all is going to plan and after scan on tue i should know when ov is and can arrange some more acupuncture.

i feel ok but am just not as confident as last time, i think it is my bodies way of coping with all these BFN !!!

h to everyone and hope all is well. i'll do personals sometime soon. just so busy for next few days.

good luck

Hi Guys

Wishing baby ? I hope the BD?ing is going well this weekend, and you catch those follies

Possums, hang in there, a new year is a new start and a lasting BFP will be there for you

Thanks everyone for the advice and info on the lap/HSG. The info and personal experience has been great.

AFM - I have had a long hard think about this, and I think I will do an HSG, as I want to feel like we are getting somewhere, so I have booked that in for Friday if damn AF will come. It was due yesterday, and I had discoloured CM all day, and today, but this evening, it?s been a bit more discoloured (although not fully here), and I have a horrible feeling AF is on her ugly way So feeling a bit low at the moment. Don?t know whether to POAS or not??

Hello Lovely Ladies,

Babytruj - I don't have any knowledge of HSGs and Laps so can't help. What have you decided?

Mrs M - I hope you and your family are well, especially your dad

Buliej - You saw bub's heart beat? Wow, I have not spoken to you before but when I saw that on your post I got goose bumps. Congratulations!!! That heart beat will get stronger and stronger!

Wouldloveabubba & Smithy - All the best for your BT What a fantastic early Christmas present that would be for you all!

Kaydee - Hope you got AF. My cousin is at the same point as you. All the best.

Wishingbaby - Thinking of you. I hope FS can save the follicles Let us know how you go. It's hard when you have to go to work when work is the last place you want to be.

Mrs P - All the best with your appt next week. I'm the same, I'll google for hours searching for answers when all I need to do is wait and ask the FS or specialist. Maybe I should do what you are doing and focus more on getting fit. God knows I need it! But need to get better after my hellish month


AFM: After being told on Monday that my little embie didn't make it, you might remember I started getting AF. This took days to eventuate, but when it did, which wasn't til Thursday, it was much heavier than usual and my cramps were awful (Later I found out they were similar to contractions). I got scared and called FS who suggested I go to hospital. So I did. I had an incomplete misscarriage. I stayed in overnight and they had me on the list to to a D&C. I was very scared because a friend had this done twice because matter was left behind after the first time. Then she got scaring and took months for her to get over.
My test results came back that I had almost past everything and suggested that I try and pass the rest on my own as my HSG levels had dropped from 49 down to 11 in two days. So, now I'm back at home hoping that nature does it's job and that my BT on Monday shows BFN (ironic I know!)

Sorry for the long post. Just had to get it off my chest.

[babytruj]

Spring - I am so sorry that AF came and that its an m/c. That is aweful... Hang in there.

Well, my AF came this evening, so feeling very depressed at the mo. I've booked in for the hsg scan for friday so will have that done and hope it shows some problem that can explain why we're not getting pregnant....

Hi girls-
Is anyone going through IVF with Endo? This is my first cycle and on Friday (day 6) I started getting incredible Endo pain, which I haven't had in years. DH called FS who said that Endo would get agrovated with all the estrogen, but it's just SOOO painful, and all I can take is panadiene, which is like taking a jelly bean for the pain. I'm hoping once we have EPU and stop meds that the pain will settle down. Is that right? What did you do for the pain? We're in the middle of packing up our house as we're moving next weekend (day after estimated EPU date, altho' we find out more at our scan tomorrow), and I'm just not much use.

ANY advice would be appreciated. Not sure how I'm going to go at work either - I can't stand up, and can hardly sit. It's some of the worst pain I've had in my life.

Trying to keep my eye on the prize and not get too down.

(Oh - had lap in September, but couldn't remove all Endo, but think they got enough to start IVF, but will go in for another lap in a few months if a few cycles doesn't work).

Thanks for your help!!

B4M - How frustrating for you hun. Yep the hormones can aggrevate endo. You mention the Drs didn't get it all when they did the lap. Did they suggest you go on a drug treatment (like Syneral) after the lap to try to kill off any remaining endo before starting IVF? Quite a few of the IVF ladies do this if the Dr thinks it will make a difference. I hope you can make it through to EPU. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate ATM too. Try to be as kind to yourself as you can and rest up.

I think lots of hugs are needed in this thread at the moment .

You are all doing a fantastic job supporting each other and keeping up to date where each other is at. It is really great to see
