Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - October 2008

Shelbee ? I haven?t had it yet ? waiting for this cycle, and then if AF comes, will do it afterwards. AF is due next Fri, so I will book in for to have the lap just after. And I also asked if I can get blood tests done, so we will do those at the same time.

Bel ? get better soon. You are amazing, that in all that you are going through, you still managed to post a note to us all;)

WouldLove Bubba ? Scan showed a nice fat egg, so we did lots of BD ing on Wed and Thurs and the weekend, and just hoping. I was a bit sore after wards ? I think the doc bruised me when she was scanning, and the BD-ing didn?t really help But all in the name of aiming for that BFP?. Now we just wait to see:D

21TTC ? When I was late, the doc always told me to wait a week after AF was due before testing, and I also think the more you think you are positive, then the later AF will be? It sucks, but your body tricks you for wanting so badly?.

To everyone else, hope you had a good weekend and relaxed a little.

AFM ? I had a busy few days, so kept my mind of the TTC and TWW:D So sorry I ignored you guys?.
I went to a baby shower on Friday morning, and you know what?s worse than seeing babies and pregnant women (which I'm actually ok with, but 21TCC - I know what you mean - pregnant women are everywhere), is everyone asking you when it?s your turn, and when you?re going to start trying. They said "be careful you don't catch the baby bug" - I was like "Bring it on" If only it was that simple!! We have only told a few close friends, as we don?t want the whole world knowing, but it seems lately that everyone asks me when we?re having babies. It?s like ? we?re trying, but these things aren?t so easy for some of us?

Hope you guys have a good Monday, and good luck with whatever stage you are all at this week

wow, theres just too many, soo sorry no personals, i did read them just so busy and also in TWW still. counting down days to testing
12 days to go

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all doing well.

Bel - truly hope you are feeling better soon.:goodluck:

Babytruj - good luck with the lap. Like I said, I am glad I had mine. It put my mind at ease. The only thing was AF was quite heavy afterwards BUT that's a small price to pay for peace of mind. Now we have about a week or so until ovulation so I will :pray: that I am able to do this naturally. I might only give it a couple of months and then move onto IVF. I am kinda in two minds. I think maybe I should just go straight to IVF as I am over the threshold and the year's end is fast approaching. Hope your lap gives you some answers or erases some of your worries.

Wishingbaby - thanks for the welcome. Hope you are travelling well.

Hope everyone else is moving along nicely. I wish you all well and to those on the TWW, good luck and I hope this is your month!!

:grouphug:

Someone close to me just announced their pregnancy half an hour ago. I am suffering from "Why isn't it me?" syndrome. I am happy for her but not happy that it's not me:crying: I feel so mean. Has anyone else felt like this?

Hi everyone

Smithy for some reason I cant reply to the email you sent, so I am not sure where to go from here .x

Our IVF cycles must be very different, I am on day 5 of injections then in 2morow for the scan and then EPU from there I guess, I wonder why I am not having a blood test - oh mayby 2mrow after my scan -

I am so sore in my ovaries - have to stop and sit down just to get a break - it feels like they are burning sometimes, oh I hope that is good news and not one of those cycle's that FS mentioned where I am too stimulated and I have to go home with no BD'ing for 2 weeks - PS has anyone ever BD in those two weeks - I wonder what would happen ... Cant wait for 2mrow -

Hope everyone is going well ...

Shelbee - I know what you mean about trying a few more cycles, or moving to IVF. My theory is try it step by step. But my husband thinks whats the point, lets move stright to IVF. We'll see what the lap says. The doc did say that we weren't allowed to TTC that cycle, but you can be more fertile for a couple of cycles afterwards, so we'll probably try a few months after the lap, and in the new year we'll look at IVF if we need to.
I also understand where you are coming from in the "jealousy" department. My work colleague told me she was pregnant, and although I am so happy for her, I was like Why Why!! They aren;t even trying - it was a bit of an accident. I also havea lot of friends who are pregnant/just given birth, and it is hard, but keep thinking that my time is near, and it will be my turn soon...

hello girls
To day Dr SOO office rang me and told me it was ok to book the IVF Westmead to make a app after i have seen Dr SOO on the 15/12 so i am ring them tomorrow to make it
with the IVF is their any weight restrictions that you know of for the bigger girls?
thanks
sarah

Hi Ladies

Just a quick post as I better get some work done - A big hello to everyone and I hope you are all getting positive news in yout TTC endevours this week xx

AFM: Scan this morning went ok - lining looking good - follies coming along nicely - have to go back in for another scan on Thursday - :redface: - oh I thought I was going to have a glowing report with the pain im in ... be positive luvabub and keep jabbing away till Thursday ... Please work Puregon -

Is CD 1 - the day you start AF or the day you start your injections??

Paula, just wanted to pop in and wish you all the best for your EPU tomorrow :pray:

To everyone else in what ever stage you are in of your journey know that every day you are a step closer to your BFP.

babytruj i too feel like there are preggy bellies EVERYWHERE. Because i have been married and because i love kids i always get the "When are you having babies?" questions.

smithy thank you. How did your blood test go today? I too have had constant aching on my left side and thats where i have the majority of my big follies so its sounding good for you too.

shelby sending you lots of cyber :comfort: Its hard to be happy when we hear that kind of news these days although deep down we really are happy for them.

wouldloveabubba im not sure why they dont give you a blood test. Maybe you should ask the clinic. Im always told that results depend on both the bloods and the scan not just the scan. Great to hear that the follies are looking nicely. CD 1 is the first day of AF.

Nicole thanks for popping in.

hi girls
i rang westmead ivf today at make my app with them they want me to wait till i see dr soo and after i see him they want me to ring on my first day of AF.

sarahxxx

Paula - Hooray for EPU tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you and hoping that you get lots of nice big eggies.

Best of luck to everyone with your cycles.

Janie xxx

Thank you Janie.. :hug:

Sarah, my understanding, the answer is no. However, they encourage people to be in a healthy weight range. I had the reverse problem. I am a bit underweight and had to fatten up (to my DH's pleasure).

Hi Everyone -

Hope you are all doing well either popping, sniffing, jabbing or waiting. Happy thoughts to everyone.

Paula - good luck for your EPU tomorrow

Smithy - fingers crossed for a good BT for you today and loads a eggies, 10+ at least for you

On-Tra_K- hope you are feeling good after your EPU and have ET soon

WLB - I had 4 scans before EPU and had 19 eggs, I could barely stand by the time I got there. Afterwards my FS said I over produced in the last 2 days. Hope you have EPU soon. Fingers crossed for many eggies for you.

21 - sorry to hear AF finally arrived. Hope you are okay and ready for the rest of the journey. Take care.

Mels77 - have had the green light for ET next cycle ?

Babytruj, Shelbee, Cuddle Pie, Wishingbaby and everyone else - lot's of happy thoughts to you.

AFM - half way through the TWW and still feeling great - no symtoms of anything yet so :pray: for a BFP next Tuesday.

Take care,
LNB

WLB - I hope your little eggies are growing nicely and you are booked in soon for EPU!

Smithy - how are coping there? Still working on those 9+ eggs? And out of interest - how early did you test on your previous cycles????

Paula - all the best for your EPU tomorrow. I hope they get a good lot and that you recover quickly.

Kahlan - re the bigger girls - I know that some FS would suggest a client to lose weight before IVF but others don't say anything at all. I'm on the larger size but generally very active and healthy and my FS didn't blink an eye when I said my weight was around 100kg.

AFM - sticking with the crinone (yuck) which is giving me cramps but no preg symptoms yet.... : ( Only 1 week and 2 days till testing!

LNB-you go girl im thinking of you
