miloro, that's a bit sucky that she didn't tell you.
me4ever, sorry to hear the witch is on the way. I hope you can continue to enjoy your holiday in spite of her company.
Krikkit, FX those are good signs. I hope you're feeling better soon. With the CoQ10, I'm taking one by NFM which I get from my acu (I don't think you can get it retail, just through practitioners) and the Swisse. I'm only taking the Swisse because I bought them 40% off at Target the other week, otherwise they're too expensive ($40 for 30 tablets).
Sounds like we need some hugs all around:
Afm, I was talking to DH last night and he says we can only afford 1 fresh cycle if this FET doesn't work. Since it took 5 cycles to get DD, that's a pretty depressing situation...
Saw the FS this morning. Not at my best as I only had 2 hours sleep... but he said not to worry about the weekend issue, that there was "wriggle room" for the timing... Hmmm... Not sure what to think about that, to be honest. The one positive thing he did say was that they will be doing transfers on the public holiday, so I don't have to worry about a 3-day window of bad timing, just the usual 2 days... He shot me down on my request to confirm O after (he thinks) it has happened, saying he thinks it's a waste of time and then accused me of thinking I know more than his "30 years of experience" and "highest FET success rate in the unit"... Gah!! That's the downside to having someone with lots of experience and confidence - the ego! The other thing he said was that if everything isn't spot on, he'll cancel the cycle. That is simultaneously reassuring and worrying - reassuring because that's really the attitude we need to adopt, but worrying because I know there are so many potential reasons for cancelling and I'd have preferred to hear there were ways to avoid them... Anyway, I have to phone for b/w results at lunch, but am expecting to be told to come back in on Monday for the next lot.
Apologies in advance if I don't make much sense today. I'm probably going to be sleep-walking through it...
Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception September 2012
Hi everyone, so sorry to hear those of you have got your period and were really hoping to be pregnant and those of you who hav had arguments with ur hubbies it sucks. My hubby came hm from work yesterday and told me " em you know how i told u a girl from work had been sick all week ?,well shes pregnant and shes 19." my heart sank. Hubby said that he congratulated her but also told her that he was jealous as we have been trying for 12 months and this young girl didnt even want it at first.
wishanddream26 - I know it sucks when you hear things like that, but the reality is, that, that goes on around us everyday.....but you just have to remember that lots of women on here thought that it would never happen for them and it has....yes it is harder for us, but you know what...its really all in gods hands. Cheer up and think positive thoughts.
Hi Emerald Star sorry been busy and haven't been able to jump on! I don't mind sharing especially if it helps!
It's all a bit confusing I have been on/off lots of diff meds!
Basically the last 2 cycles I have noticed a big diffeerence in the quality of embryo and they have grown each day a lot better and def better grades!
I believe the coq1o x 600mg and dhea 100mg are the biggest contributing factor. I really don't know about Luveris but I have been on this only for last 2 cycles!
With regards to growth hormones I think it def helps give them a boost.
This cycle I only had 5 eggs this time and they where grade 3 mainly 1 x 4 but in the end blast cc and a morula with nothing to freeze.
Last cycle 5 embies best grades I ever got grade 3-5 ended up blast bc grade and early morula.
Prior to that cycle in jan really bad but I don't think I was on saizen?.. Only coq10 150 and dhea 50 out of 5 eggs 3 fertilised didn't grow well transferred early grade 3 7 cell on day 4
Cycle before that 12 eggs 6 fert ended up day 5 transfer morula and 12 cell compacting grade 3!
I think really my feeling is all of the things you are thinking of doing help and I believe mine are getting better with age, still not bloody getting there but developing and fertilizing better each day but in the end I don't know what I need to do to give them that extra boost!
Good luck I hope the info helps x
Thanks everyone for understanding... Life sucks with fertile people around us... Wish they could feel for once what it's like to be TTC for longer than a month or two (Or is that mean, as we do know how horrid and stressful it can be... Maybe only for the ones that keep rubbing it in?)
Wicked witch showed up today. Luckily a day after my brother's wedding, so I didn't feel all awful. Holiday is still going well, only a week to go, time has flown past. As I look on Belly belly I now can't wait to get back and start our FET, I want to be PUPO again...
Hugs for everyone in a dip.
PS Vic I read your story! Wow, that must have been such a shock! Fingers crossed it will freeze, just in case. But I bet you won't need it and this will be your lucky month and you'll fall preggo with these little blobs inside you! Special hugs for you and your husband.
Me4ever, maybe just the rub it in ones. There are lots of kind super fertile women out there.
AFM, did my very first gonal F injection last night. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I did screw up the first time though and didn't properly take the cap off so I just squirted it on my skin! Dork. Now I'm waiting at the train station, heading to the airport for my trip to china. I checked I had my passport once, I checked I had my meds about 20 times. Will be offline for the next several days but can't wait to catch up when I come back.
Take care everyone. Wishing you wondeful fertility and stickiness.
PS juniper can you please put me in the waiting list.
Oh crap, I just realised that at this rate I'm going to be over 37 before I have my first. I did it all right, I got educated, had a career, bought a house (by myself!) THEN get into a relationship - and still only 29.... Tried to start a family at 33, and now I'm nearly 36... I've just had a miscarriage and there's no baby in sight. If we do our next cycle in jan/feb I may just get a baby in while 36.... I just feel so old and over it and like its never going to happen.
And I hate exercise..... 37 just sounds so old to have my first.... I don't even think about it for other people... But i don't want to be one if those out of touch older mothers. I hate LTTTC....
Freaking out a little and of course this happens on a Saturday afternoon, when I have to wait the longest time possible to ask my FS about it... CD14 today, yesterday's b/w indicated E2 starting to rise (448 pmol/L), acupuncture 4 hours ago (she did the Ov treatment with the tens machine) and when I went to the toilet to do today's OPK (BFN), I found EWCM streaked with blood - about 50% clear/50% red. This has never happened before and I don't know what to think? I've had a bit of spotting at O time in a few cycles, but this was far more than that. If I didn't know better, I'd say AF was starting?!
No, we haven't DTD since last cycle (not for lack of DH trying, but I've been tired and cranky). Had planned to start today since I'm gearing up to O and now not sure what to do. No way of speaking to the FS before Monday morning.
Just went back and had a look at the OPK and it's got some colour to it. Think I'll test again before bed tonight, but thinking I could get the +opk tomorrow...
