Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception October 2012

wow vic, thats a huge step decision. Wishing you all the best in any choice that fate delivers :hug:

miloro- yay! huge numbers! happy for you!

beau30- I can't help too much, but I know that my OHSS bloating returned /coincided with my pregnyl injection.

hi to everyone else!

AFM - still waiting for my CoQ10 to arrive. Picked up my HGH and DHEA from the clinic and pharmacy. WHOA! $300 for 15 days worth of HGH. I am seriously going to be broke. Santa better give me a baby for Christmas, cause I wont be able to afford anything else. The dr who I chatted with today, suggested defrosting the one lonely frostie I have after collection to see if it survives and if it does put that back as well as the fresh.. so a double transfer :dance: We will have to see if the head of the clinic agrees with that though.

arohanui - hi & welcome. do you mean that you will be awake for egg collection? i havent heard of that before. usuallly clinics will put you under sedation. i am currently on the pill and will be having an egg collection in november also, best of luck. :)

miloro - congrats on your epu, and 10 fertalised sounds like a great, well done, you! hope you're feeling ok and taking it easy this weekend.

beau30 - i havent experienced bleeding 5 days after 5 day transfer, but stranger things have happened and ended in a positive result. only your blood test will tell you what is happening, goodluck with everything.

vic - sorry this cycle didnt work. :hug: i have considered fostering too, although the involvement of other professionals and potentially the child's family would concern me as well. i guess each case is different though and you would navigate your way through and set your own boundaries as you go etc. definately something i am considering when i get to the end of my road ttc. i wish you all the best with this last cycle. xx

krikkit - double transfer... eeeeek! you're braver than me. fingers crossed you get your xmas baby (babies?) ;)

hi to everyone else, hope you have a relaxing weekend. xx

Krit - go for double transfer. I have had a few doubles. Saves paying for extra transfer.

All good Vic, you have a lot on your mind and it can be tough to keep up with everyone on here :D. Sounds like you and DH have been doing some serious thinking and talking. I really admire that you would consider fostering. Its something I don't think my DH would even consider.

Krikkit, FX your clinic agrees to a double transfer. A christmas BFP would be a lovely treat.

AFM, i told my sisters where we are up to in IVF cycle. They knew we were going to go down this path but I had not told them we had started. As I suspected one was so lovely and encouraging. The other told me about how many of her friends are currently UTD or just had a baby. Hmm, not exactly what I wanted to hear but at least she didn't tell me how lucky I am not to have kids (again). I went shopping today (Bonds jocks on special for hubby) and tried to stay away but couldn't stop myself having a little wander through the baby section. Hopefully within a few months I'll be shopping there...not that I am letting myself get carried away, :rofl:.

wow miloro! great fert rates with plenty to freeze away. good luck for when you get to transfer

andie yes i will be awake itis all done at the clinic you can have gas and air and valium and panadol as well it is alot cheaoer this way now as you dont have to have a ga etc. just got our plan to day egg pick up 9 nov and et on 12 th november all going well am very excited

hi vic i used to foster care i did it for two years so any questions feel free to contact me;)

Beau - OHSS hurts. I hand badbloating in my last cycle, can only advise rest, drink lots and don't worry if you don't feel like eating or even getting off the couch. Just look after yourself xox

Got Their BFP in October :confetti:
:dunno:

Dhea troches are gross. With all the technology they could have made it taste better!!!

I can't taste mine. I just swallow the capsule with water.

*rant ahead*

Bloody body- I'm supposed to be ovulating- not bleeding!
I've got sort of AF.
It started yesterday with pink CM, which I thought was O bleeding or implantation bleeding- I ovulated on Wednesday/Thursday.
Now today- I've got large clots?!?
WTF!

I had a BT on Wednesday and my HCG is 0- so it's not 'left over' from my MC.

:hug: emma.... hope it sorts itself out soon :(

I feel like AF is no where ahead, and no signs of ovulation that I can see either.... although I suppose I should prefer I don't get pregnant before the first AF arrives after MC.... just.... you know.... hope is always there.... even if I can't imagine getting preg naturally...

so just waiting, waiting, waiting.... sorry girls that I've been MIA and not doing personals... just can't get my head around it all just yet.... am stalking and checking in with you all every day though ;) xxx

Emma, :comfort: sorry to hear that. Are you able to ask your Dr about it or will you have to wait until Monday? If it gets too heavy or becomes painful, please see a Dr about it, okay? Even if you have to go to a hospital...

myturn, here's a hug for you too. :hug:

Thanks girls.

Nothing since the clots- no bleeding, cramping etc.

I'm moody as hell though!

Thanks for all your messages. Unfortunatley I am still bleeding (6 days now - not as heavy though). I am still using progesterone pesseries 3 times a day and just hanging out till Tuesday whenI can get my blood test. How can I be added to your list of people? This is my first IVF/ICSC cycle. Our problem is male infertility issues. I am 33 and DH 31. We have been TTC since Jan 2010. I am CD27, I had EC day 12 then 5dtf. I am not sure how this whole forum thing works.

Emma09 - I hope everything is ok now the bleeding has stopped.

Junipear will put you on the list when gets a chance...
so sorry love :( it's a yucky feeling when the bleeding is there, in my experience it's usually a bad sign - but that's not for everyone, and yours started SOO close to transfer... very weird! definitely something to discuss with the FS (Fertility specialist) whether it's a + or - test result on tuesday

:hug: look after yourself in the meantime... xox

Done! :) That's everything I needed to know to add you. You might want to add the details about your age/IF issue, etc to your signature since we don't put those in the list.
Sorry to hear you're still bleeding. I'll be interested to hear what your FS has to say. It's terrible that they have made you wait all this time, under the circumstances.
