Megan,
I gave been around long enough to have seen members here go through absolute shocker cycles, easy cycles and everything in between. And you can get a BFP with any of the above! It's natural to feel a little superstitious when things seem to be going wrong, but all that matters is getting to transfer. The rest are just obstacles that test your mettle!
Just a quickie...
NSW girls check out this thread ;)
Hi everyone
I am pleased to announce that I am finally feeling a bit better YAY. I came home from work feeling like death warmed up so I made an appointment for some acupunture this afternoon at the local Chinese Medical Centre. So I have come home after 2 hours of treatment (I am constipated so she worked for ages on me) and I must admit I feel 100% better. I am ready to head back to work tomorrow with a clearer head. My Mum called me today as well and told me that she has bought me a 2 hour spa treatment at one of the posh Day Spas near where I live. She was on the phone and the internet reading all the different treatments out. She even booked me in after checking times with me, it's my birthday Sat so I reckon that is just the nicest present anyone has ever given me.
Lou - how did you get on with your instructions? I hope that you got in touch with the nurses.
Megan - How are you going with sniffing, you started today too didn't you?
Melbel - glad to hear things went well with Dr Hale, he is really thorough isn't he? I hope he finds some answers for you. DH and I are huge fans of his and see him again next week.
Megan - how are you going with your bleeding, you poor thing. Try and keep positive, which I know is easier said than done.
Keen - how are you going, I hope you are feeling better too
Well I am off to enjoy my new found positive-ness and hopefully an early night
Hello Everyone
I hope you are all well.
Big hugs Keen :hug: thinking of you... you are such a trooper and an inspiration to us all. I hope all this gets sorted out and you get the BFP that you so deserve.
Leis - How cool your O/S trip, it must be so exciting.
Two mums - I hope all goes well for you both I have my fingers crossed for you.
Megan, Lou and Jane Good luck in your cycles, how lucky to have 3 cycle buddies I hope you all get through this without to many scars !!!! Jane - what a fab Birthday pressie, sounds like a good idea.Happy Birthday for the weekend.
Mel - I was reading your post and my head was spinning, too many options you poor thing. I hope, which ever option you choose, that you get a nice big fat BFP !!! :confused:
Me - my last frostie didnt survive the big thaw - so no more frosties for us. We have been advised by the clinic that the next EPU cycle will be a flair cycle, no idea what this is so I will troll this site, too impatient to wait to the appointment next week.
Good luck everyone and best wishes for some much needed BFP's, It's just way to packed in here !!! :p
Jane so glad hun you are feeling so much better.. keep up the acupuncture and it hopefully it will give a better chance at BFP.... recent research has shown that it improoves chances with IVF quiet dramatically... (i don't know figures, you would have to google).... Hope everyone else is doing ok...
Me I am really flat at the moment, as get this, I can't get work!!!! I have been employed as a casual nurse by the local private hospital, but it is all so quiet at the moment there isn't anything available.. all i need is about 32 hours a fortnight, but not to be. I can't start at the pub for possilby another 3 weeks, doing RCG tomorrow night. It isn't like DH can't support me, but I really want 'my own money' and not have to ask all the time for it, not that it bothers him, but I feel guilty.. my eyebrows are getting really hairy, and they need some colour in them, so does my hair.. but i can't justify spending money on that at the moment... Huuuuuummmm oh well something will fall into place.. my problem is, i am just way to independent!!! leis xx
Jane, glad to hear you are feeling much better.
The spa treatment your Mum has bought for me sounds lovely!! I'm so jealous! ;)
Lou, how did you go with the Synarel today?
Well I have had my 2 doses for today and am now suffering with a horrible headache.
It's definitely not the nicest experience shooting something up your nose and then tasting it in the back of your throat for the next half an hour! lol I have found both times today, it's been uncomfortable for about 30 minutes afterwards - wanting to sneeze, yuk taste, runny blocked nose feeling. I have also developed a headache about an hour or so after each dose.
Sorry for the lack of personals girls, I think I should get off here as it's not helping the headache. I hope everyone is well.
Megan - I had the headaches too and found that I am not feeling as bad now, so hopefully things will improve

Hi Girls
Well Kim and I are in a bit of shock...seems she must have ovulated before the egg pick up as doc could only see 3 follicles, so we only got 3 eggs, 2 mature. He said that Synarel is usually a reliable drug. Kim burst into tears afterwards and i must admit i felt like crying too but i tried to keep a brave face up for her. Like if i were to be upset about it i'd be being ungrateful, because she kept saying sorry...We asked to speak with the scientist and she said that she had stripped kims eggs and that she was going to do ICSI on them both...thing is we didnt ask for ICSI...Doc still wants to wait until monday to do the transfer, if they make it to blastocyst. The scientist said that about 2 out 5 eggs make it to blast...so unless either of these two make it thats it. I mean you imagine that you will get all the eggs and that at least half of them will fertilise and that you will have a few to freeze for future attempts if the fresh transfer doesnt work, or you will have frozen embies to use after you have a baby to extend your family. I never imagined that my eggs wouldnt fertilise and that i would have to use kims eggs. I got used to that idea and even ended up loving the idea...And after everything kim went through, we only got two eggs and they are getting ICSI and being grown to blast in the lab, all without us really asking for it. I am wondering does this mean that we get a refund on the cycle seen as how she never once had a blood test except for the initial screening tests etc.. and because the eggs were missed. I remember reading somewhere here that another clinic said the next cycle was free for someone in a similar situation. Can anyone remember?? Bit sad at the mo...thank you all for your thoughts and prayers...xxx
Megan & Kim - girls, I am so sorry to read your news. It must have been a real shock and very upsetting...I wish I had something perfect and wonderful to say - but there isnt any words to comfort you right now Im sure... :hugs: :hugs: to you both...
I have not heard about getting it free or anything - but I recently heard about a friend whose blasts all didnt make it and she insisted that the clinic did something wrong and they then agreed to allow them their next cycle free... might be worth having a jump up and down about. But in the meantime you look after yourselves and your hearts.
And tonnes of growing vibes to your strong little champions...
Megan and Kim - so sorry to hear that things didn't go quite as you expected. I remember when I was coming out of the anaesthetic after my EPU there was a girl in the bed beside me and the Dr had just told her they only got one egg. My heart nearly broke for her, so I can only imagine how heart-wrenching it must be to be receiving that kind of news :hugs:
I think at my clinic (QFG in Brissy), you only get a refund if the EPU or the ET doesn't actually happen, but not if the results are less than optimal. But I couldn't say about other clinics :confused:
I rang the doc at home and he agreed that he did not order the ICSI but that it wouldnt hurt...but he will make sure that we wont have to pay for it thats for sure...he is still keen to let the go to blast tho. As for the eggs being missed...that happens he said and so i dont think that we will be able to do anything about that. But if the three eggs that got stripped and ICSI'd without our consent dont survive, i'm going to jump up and down about it because we didnt ask for it and it is their stuff up and who's to say that they wouldn't have fertilised naturally and be better off for it!! Anyway just hope and pray that they make it to monday...they said two were definately mature and the third they weren't sure so they were going to inject it anyway and see what happens. So could be 3 but most likely 2.
Cherie i also go to QFG (Brissy) and they did tell me that if there were no eggs in the follicles you don't get a refund, but there were 7-8 follicles the day of the trigger and by the time we got to EPU there were only 2 good size and 1 smaller follicle left...so doc thinks they missed the eggs because kim ovulated, so i kinda think that that is more a medication/nature thing than anything...but this is the 2nd lady this week that my doc has seen 7 or 8 follicles and then went in and they were just gone!! Maybe they have a bad batch of synarel???
Megan & Kim, Sorry to hear your news.. what a shock that would have been for the both of you. :hug:
Nic
Sorry ive been MIA lately
Megan and Kim - I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you for this cycle and i am hoping that it works for you please try not to stress (as i have said b4 easier said than done) Also i dont know if this is relvent but i have mentioned b4 that my previous clinic offered my a free cycle next time but that was because my nurse stuffed up my drug dates and so i had to wait till blestie which did survive and i got a BFP but MC early and still havent taken then up on that free cycle (still waiting to revieve it in writing). I am thinking of you both at this differicult time xx
Megan - hows the sniffing going? Ive been feeling ok, but so so so depressed this afternoon and tonight, didnt really realise it until a collegue said i was a little quiet and was everything ok. Of cause it is.
Jane - i know you are well and truly sniffing but are you jabbing yet?
Keen - whats been hapening? how are you feeling now?
Well i dont know why but all i do lately is dream of other people having babies and its driving me crazy. Im feeling a little sensertive, maybe because i have 3 close friends who are all pg (sorry sez if your reading this and dont take it personel)and several other girls i know only have to pull their knickers off and there up the duff. Im always very good at listening to them all talk about baby stuff but right now i dont want to hear any of it, ive just felt like crying all evening.
I just want this to work (I know we all do)
sorry girls for the downer will try to stay on top a little more 2morrow after all it is Fab Friday. Just want this cycle to go a bit quicker.
xx
wishing everone all the best and always thinking of you
hey Lou, if you are upset - then you're upset, dont apologise for that...I myself added to my vent in LT TTC vent forum and it does help. Have a rant in there if it makes you feel better, sweetie :hug:.... oh and in reply to what you said - totally understand and know what you mean, it just really gets overwhelming sometimes, hey.
Oh Lou, I would never take it personally! I think you are wonderful to listen to all of our crap, I don't know how you do it. You're so good in fact, that I think I sometimes forget to be sensitive to your situation. So I'm sorry if I ever upset you, please just tell me to shut my fat mouth if I'm ever upsetting you. I'm sorry the Synarel is making you feel crappy. You know I am here for you if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, even if it is over hormones! I am so excited for you, I want to you to get a BFP so much! I am sending you some of my precious babydust......
Megan and Kim, I am so sorry to hear that things didn't work out exactly how you hoped at EPU. It's such a tough day, with such an emotional lead time, and I'm sure it could not have been easy for either of you. :hug:
I truly hope you have success with the eggs that were retrieved - it does sound like there are at least two real good chances and I have my fingers tightly crossed for you. :crossfingers:
Stay strong girls and good luck for Monday. :goodluck:
Megan and Kim you poor pets, what a terrible time you are having with this, I am sending every possible positive vibe and thought your way that this cycle is a success.
Lou - I have just finished the pill on Wednesday and have my scan on Wednesday coming up and start jabbing on Thursday I think. I am going to get DH on nurse duty and see how he goes otherwise I will take over. He wants to help which is nice of him. As for being upset, we can all understand where you are coming from and I hope you are feeling better today. I had to listen to more inane conversations at work yesterday from the pregnant club, yesterdays topic of choice was wouldn't it be shocking to be pregnant and due around Christmas. When DH and I miscarried we would have been due around Christmas 2004 so I had steam coming out both ears LOL, although I must admit I get over it more quicly lately.
I hope everyone is cruising along nicely going into the weekend. Have a great day.
Girls I am so sorry to hear that this cycle has been less than easy.... With my cycle i only got 2 eggs, but they both fertilised naturally (not icsi), so it does happen and i hope it happens for you both.... you must be very frustrated at the moment... take care love leis xx
Just creating a new thread for you girls
Love
