Hi girls, sorry for the lack of posts. I think if you all the time. I have been hiding quietly in the corner... IVF is kicking my butt. I dont want to be a negative Nancy but I am soooo sick of injections and hormones.

Follies are growing slowly. Hopefully tomorrow's scan will show some good growth over the weekend.

Highlight of my birthday on Friday was rushing out of Ballet at interval to inject in the bathroom. The things we do!
Hopefully one day it'll make a funny story to tell my child.

Love to you all xx

Emma & Sarah: big hugs to you both

MrsMac: congrats on your BFP!!!

vic261: congrats on being PUPO!!! FX it is a sticky one for you

myturn: you are only as old as you feel. I was similar to you, got a good education, pursued my career, met the man of my dreams but only managed to have DD when I was 36 and now FX get my second when I am 40. Believe and it will come true xx

Krikkit: how's the sickness going? Hoping it is subsiding so you can feel a smig normal

Hi to everyone else, hope all is well

AFM: waiting on my 7 week scan to see a little heartbeat. Some days I can believe it has happened especially with the sore boobies and light headedness I have been getting (thankfully not too much m/s) but others I'm scared to even go to the loo in case I see something I don't want to see

[Krikkit]

Aaarrrgghhh I am freaking out about the puppy dog crying my eyes out! It was such a bad decision, I'm so stupid. So much work with a toddler.

Hear, hear!!! Stay positive myturn, i had first DS at 39 via IVF then 2nd DS at 40 was a natural miracle! It does happen. You are still in there with plenty of time to grow and love some beautiful babies!!! Good luck sweetie.

[Emerald Star]

Myturn - I third Motion that... Just like Joespratt and jayejaye, I had my FIRST DD at 42 and now I'm trying for #2 at 44!!! I believe it can happen (hopefully before the financial strain) and if i fall pregnant this year I will be 45 when i give birth! (now thats old in child bearing years...but i still have hope..) hang in there..it will happen. Good Luck

I don't believe it's as easy as saying if you want it enough or believe it hard enough or just stay positive that you will end up with a live child at the end of all this. Does that mean that those who it doesn't happen for didn't want it enough?

I hope and pray that we all get what we want but the horrible reality is that some of us won't, no matter how much we want it. But it won't be because we weren't positive enough or we didn't believe.

[Miss.B]

Hi ladies,

Myturn, sometimes we don't have a choice in becoming older mothers. It could be that we meet our partner later in life (like me) or it could takes quite a few goes at IVF or naturally before we get pg. I think we have to believe that it will happen and when it does we will be the most fabulous mums we can be. And I don't think you'll be an 'out of touch' mum even if you become an older mum hun Hang in there lovely and take a deep breath (like me!!). xoxoxox

Awww Kikkit, so you got the puppy? Remember they only stay little for a while but if if gets too much you could always find it a new home. When I was about 14 we got a puppy because I saw one in a pet shop and I just had to have it. My mum was saying no but agreed in the end on the condition that I look after it all the time. The poor thing got left home all alone when my parents went to work and my brother and I to school. He used to cry so much during the day some of the neighbours complained so it had to go. So my parents made me take him to the RSPCA. I was so heartbroken, but there was nothing we could do. We had a lot of elderly neighbours

Joe, GL with your scan!

Nire, sorry to hear IVF is becoming a pain in the butt! GL for your scan today hun and Happy Belated Birthday for Friday

Wishanddream, GL for your IUI this week

Juniper, GL with your cycle this month hun, I hope you get to catch that egg

Hi to everyone else!

AFM, we are having some rough time again in the house. It started with the virus I had last Wednesday, then on Friday night after DS's bath I noticed some cluster of small bumps on his upper legs, tummy, back and little bit on his face. I happened to use a new bubble bath that night with some essential oils, so I thought he had a reaction to that. The following night the same thing happened but I didn't use that new bubble bath. Then last night before the bath, he had the cluster of spots as well (so they would have been there during the day, but I didn't notice them at nappy changes) but he was also burning up. So I thought maybe chicken pox????? The thing is, he's had a runny nose all day yesterday so I thought the temperature was tied in with that. So off to the doc's today. DS was so upset after his bath, he ended up in our bed, tossing and turning all night and burning up. Thank God for panadol.

To be honest, this is why I hadn't commented before now. With the whole AMH thing, I can't help but feel that time is ticking away and worry that I'll hit menopause before we get our BFP. I can't imagine we'll still be TTC at 45 because I can't imagine I'll have any eggs left by that stage. I don't even know if we'll be able to TTC at 40... I couldn't, with any sincerity, offer the encouragement that was sought when I don't feel that hope myself, so figured it was better to keep my fears to myself and let others provide the needed support.

Sorry to post this and run, but I'm at work and it took a while to find the words to try to say what I meant and (hopefully) not be misinterpreted. I'd hate to upset anyone. I'll check back later today after I get the b/w results from this morning.

[kerbear]

Juniper, I completely understand what you are saying as well as everyone else's comments as I am in same boat as you. I don't think it should upset anyone as I believe we all know in the back of our minds that all the hoping and praying for it may just not quite be enough.

I think it is good to be positive and we need to encourage everyone to be but I also know in the back of my mind that after the next cycle, depending on the outcome DH and myself could be facing making some serious decisions about ttc that could break my heart forever.

Hope you are all traveling well I check in everyday and read up xo

[juniper76]

What I forgot to add before is that positive thinking won't change the outcome of your cycle, but it will completely change your experience of your cycle. It's a quality of life thing and it's definitely something worth pursuing, which is another reason why I wouldn't want to bring anyone down. I think it's very valuable, just not essential.

W&D, I recently had a co-worker (mid-20s, so not as bad) tell me she was pg with an (initially) unwanted oops. It was doubly hard since she told me when she was 10wks and I couldn't help but immediately think "that's when we found out we lost our baby in January". It's hard to get these bombshells dropped on us sometimes. Glad to hear your cycle is going well. FX for the IUI!

Nire, Happy belated-Birthday!

Miss.B, hope you're feeling better soon.

Afm, b/w showed E2 rising further (1252), so should see LH surge in the next few days. Finding the lack of sleep brutal. I had to get up at 4.45am this morning to get to the monitoring but didn't get to sleep until almost 1am (thank you insomnia ) and then I woke at 4.35am before the alarm, so lost an extra 10 mins of precious sleep! At least it was better than Thursday night (only 2 hours). Proving to be a long day at work though. Hoping I get to sleep early tonight or tomorrow's trip to the clinic (another 5am start) may ruin me... Wishing I drank coffee right about now as I'm running out of steam. Arrived at work at 6.45am and trying to make it through to 6pm so I have less to do at home during the rest of the week...

[Krikkit]

I can't comment on AMH - I reckon its a load of poo! mine is 2.4 yet respond well but get bad quality eggs. so I am a bit watevs about it! Just glad I still get eggs I suppose. I am a bit miffed my FS has basically told me I will get menopause early... don't wish it on me dude!!


Need some advice from the LTTC-ers with my bt levels does anyone or can anyone decipher them yet? They seemed to start of mega high, maybe from OHSS???

18/9 E 4204 P 268
21/9 E 4571 P 272
24/9 E 2765 P 122 (today they want me to start pessaries??????)

Final BT is Friday and I had a neg HPT today...... and some lovely cramping like AF is on her way, but was re-assured my levels are too high for that to happen

[juniper76]

Krikkit, I've always had 5-7 eggs (last time was 5 eggs with 450iu of gonal-f), so the low AMH was expected in my case. I'm not clear on what the E2 numbers should be in the 2ww. I know they are meant to be elevated, but I don't know how much. You might have to do some searching for links between E2 and OHSS? Just keep in mind that they use different units in America (pg/ml), so if you're reading any pages/articles from there you need to multiply their numbers by 3.671 to get the equivalent in our units (pmol/l). That progesterone level is still nice and high, but maybe they're starting you on pessaries because of the drop?

A quick one girls...

We've cancelled the cycle. Only one follie had grown large enough to mature. Others were way off. Will trigger tonight and dtd for the next few nights just in case.
Will need to up dosage and try again in a couple of months.

I'm devastated.
Will be hiding in the background thinking of you all x

I'm really sorry to hear that Nire

It's not unusual to have the first cycle cancelled as many FS look at it as a bit of a practice run where they can experiment with dosages, etc. Doesn't help if you're the patient The truth is they don't know how your body will respond.

What dose where you on?
