Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception October 2014

No chance it's a chem pg - haven't O'd since May. Ever since the first annov cycle (June) I've had this pattern of a week of spotting/bleeding before AF, but not the prolonged and heavy AF like this time. In fact, last AF barely lasted 24 hours of proper bleeding (plus a few days of spotting)... I asked my former FS about it at my post-lap appt and he only suggested doing a monitoring cycle, but then didn't want to see me until CD12 (Tuesday next week) so I'm still debating whether it's worth the hassle...

PlanetSasha, fantastic news on your little embies! Fingers and toes crossed that all 5 become beautiful blasties. GL lovely x.

Juniper, I hope you get some answers soon hun, it must be so frustrating :(

Hope the lap goes well Spoons!

I have fingers crossed for you Amy!

Good luck for your transfer PlanetSasha :)

Juniper, you must be so frustrated! I hope you can get some answers soon.

I hope everyone else is travelling along ok xoxo

Thanks everyone. And thanks for the link, juniper. :)

I have been having this sharp pinching pain and twinges in my abdomen and decided to POAS this morning and BFN :(
I will try not to run to the shop to buy more tests, lol, I will try to wait until Sunday...

I had horrific cramping and pinching about 3 days before my bfp with ds catyo so dont give up hope just yet!

We took ds to the royal show today and I probably overdid it a bit :/ ive had an awful headache all afternoon xxx

CatyO I was the same as Amy with terrible cramping, like a really bad stitch, a few days before my BFP. Fingers crossed when you test on Sunday! x

Has anyone heard of people going overseas (Bali) during a cycle? It'll be (probably cd 3-6, so in between scans, etc. My clinic thinks they'll either put me in jail or confiscate the drugs. :(

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard Pholi! I just came home from bali, I was over there from CD 4 and arrived home on CD16. I am doing a natural FET and they managed to catch ovulation in time when I returned home, so it was different to a stim cycle. As long as your doctor writes a letter stating that you need the medication for ivf purposes then there is no reason for them to take them off of you. People travel with all sorts of medication including heavy sedatives and as long as they have a doctors letter then they are fine. xxx

Pholi, see if you can get some official advice from our government (maybe start with Smart Traveller?) or maybe the Indonesian embassy? Fertility clinics are not experts in overseas travel...

Caty, hang in there hun. GL with your test on Sunday :crossfingers:

Juniper, could you please put me down as CD1 today.

Ladies, I'm doing HGH injections via a pen, 4 injections 2.5 ml each I think.....it just loads like a normal gonal pen doesn't it? I'm due to inject on Sunday but have to phone the nurse at a certain point tomorrow with questions if I have any..So far instructions read similar to the gonal pen where you dial the dosage?

Pholi I had to travel with meds before (although not to Bali) as long as you have a letter from your doctor on hand you should be fine. It is a good idea to check with smart traveller though.

Miss B do the HGH injections have a name?

Poas tonight and of course it was negative im obly 3dp6dt, what the hell was I thinking!

Thanks ladies. I called the consulate. There's a well-established protocol, although, like all Indonesian processes, it's long-winded. Letters, photos of the drugs, with and without the boxes, include the needles', and my name on the label, passport, flight details, $25, come back the next day for a letter.

I'm not going to jail after all. :)

Stupid clinic nurse.

I'm glad you've sorted that out Pholi, that nurse was sure silly. No one would be able to travel with medications if she was right!

PlanetSasha, it's called Simzen or something, but the pharmacist managed to find a much cheaper brand called SciTropin A, it was $370 for a vial that will give me 4 shots, as opposed to over $900. The syringe looks similar to the gonal one, just smaller and it's not pre filled, I have to put a little glass vial in, so I'll just follow the instructions. Thanks hun.

Amy, you are funny, although I am not surprised! lol. 3 more days and I think you'll have an indication. FX!

Caty, how are you going hun? GL if you are testing today.

Girls, just a quick question, do I inject going by the new daylight savings time? I did it at 9.30 am yesterday. If I inject at the old time it will be 10.30 the new time. Gosh I've just confused myself.. It says to inject at the same time each day.
