Im sorry Shannon (((HUGS)))

Injections are going okay for me, had another blood test this morning, clinic called me this afternoon to say that my ovaries haven't done anything yet so they are upping my meds, im on 75 at the moment and they want me to do every second needle at 112.5 and have another blood test on Wednesday. I have about 15 cysts on one ovary so they are trying to be careful not to set them all off!

[arielle]

Thanks so much Smithy!
Well, yes, we did make it to transfer today. We have one good looking 8 cell embie on board, and are thrilled to bits. DH and I couldn't stop grinning at each other. It's off to accupuncture for me, and then having a 2nd look at a house DH and I are very interested in buying. So,wooohooh, bring on the TWW. This coming weekend we're off to Daylesford for some R&R (no spas dammit!), so that should help break it up a bit.

Good Morning

Thanks so much for your kind words, we see the FS next week so will hopefully get some answers i think my progesterone levels may be too low so hopefully we can increase the crinone to 2 a day and do some bloods monitoring next cycle. We still have BT on wednesday and then we wait and do another stim cycle at the end of this month.

Smithy - Congrats on transfer sounds very promising and enjoy your holiday!

Really sorry things didn't work out for you this time Shannon.

I'm having a bit of an "eek! how did that happen?!" moment right now... Tomorrow morning I go for my first blood test for the FET and to pay for the cycle. I'm finding my anxiety levels are rising fairly quickly - I noticed the same thing the last two times I used letrozole. Once I finish the tablets I start getting quite anxious, and then it stops once I ovulate. I really can't work out whether it's a normal response to the hormone changes, just something peculiar to me, or something that the letrozole does. Clomid did something similar, only much worse, so maybe it's just a BW thing.

DH finally gets back tonight, so I'll have someone to talk to again - yay!

Arielle, I hope that little embie you have on board is snuggling in and getting comfy.

Rols, how far off starting your FET are you two? Can't be too much longer, I think... or I'm just horribly confused.

Shannon - sorry things didn't work out this time. Hopefully your FS will have some answers for you.

Arielle - sending you sticky vibes and best of luck for your TWW.

Just had my day 12 scan and things are looking up. From only 6 follies on Friday to about 10 today, my FS is feeling very confident so we are booked in to have a collection on Thursday. Getting very excited but trying not to get ahead of myself too much.

Good luck & best wishes to all!

BW, DW stops the pill tomorrow and then commences the FET drugs Wednesday.

Transfer (assuming at least one thaws) will be be approximately October 19. Still undecided about 1 or 2 (me leaning to one, DW towards 2). We haven't given it much thought and will have a chat to FS at some stage and go from there. If it doesn't work this time and we do two, we'd like to do another stim before the end of the year solely because of the safety net. But I can't see us being able to squeeze it in that close to christmas. Anyway, a short break gives us time to get our money in order because the gearbox in my ute crapped itself and cost an arm and a leg.

Apologies to all for being so pathetic with comments lately. As always, I read everyday, along with your journals/blogs for those who have them, but seem to be lacking in my usual verbal diarrhoea.

[Mumof8]

Good luck Rols and DW I'm very excited for you both. Hope to hear some good news soon.
Take care everyone XX

hi everyone - I hope you don't mind if I join you here. I have just posted an thread introducing myself.

I am on my first IVF cycle, and I don't know anyone else that has been through IVF, so I am looking forward to be able to share with you lovely ladies, who understand what it is all about.

Have just started the puregon injections (done 2 so far), and am trying to be patient and wait for the next date - ultrasound and blood test next Monday.

[barney]

best of luk for this cycle,your at the fun parts now were it all gets exciting well done

[tiggerlinda]

Hi everyone I hope you don't mind if I pop in here Oct cycle about to get underway and I am lookig for distractions and support. Ideas and all other things baby my mind tends think of

Best of luck for everyone here!

[butterfly_warrior]

Weclome, Nellie. I hope you find this thread wonderfully supportive and helpful. We all have. Just remember, the only silly question is the one you don't ask, so feel free to ask anything - someone's bound to know the answer!

Nice to see you here, too, tiggerlinda.

Me... Just returned home from my first blood test for my FET cycle. Had a new nurse take my blood today. She was really quite surprised that I was still bleeding when we took the cottonball off. She was even more suprised when I was still bleeding after the second cottonball and more pressure. I suggested that we just tape over the cottonball at that point. 40 minutes later I'm home and it looks like I've only just stopped bleeding... Makes me wonder how normal it is to be like that. Also makes me wonder if I go from that to suddenly clotting almost instantaneously after a blood test while pregnant if it's just a bit too extreme...

Anyway, I'm just babbling. Crinone pessary in the fridge (ew! but at least it's only one), cycle paid for... and it's all a bit hard to believe that everything's on the go again.
