Just a reminder to all: all LTers love seeing a fellow LTer achieve that longed-for BFP, and we all find hope in one of our own having success in this difficult journey. But please remember that there are those who cycled with you who may not have received good news at the end of their cycle. Please do not post baby/child/pg tickers or pg related signatures (eg blinking BFP icons) etc in this forum out of respect for them.
As it's easy to forget to remove your ticker, please be advised that we will remove it for you if it's posted in here. Just easier, is all.
Smithy- Hope Af arrives soon for you and things start to progress.
Possums- Good luck in the TWW
AFM I finally recieved results from last Thursdays BT FS says my levels are high and indicate that there are three follicles.
So tonight I am to take Pregnyl Trigger, for Wed morning ovulation and BF and I are to like crazy over the next few days.
I am also to take Pregnly Booster Shot on Sat and again next Tues.
Then BT Wed 17/09 so keeping fingers crossed and hoping for good result this time.
Good luck to everyone else hope we all get our BFPs soon.
Possums, Congrats on a ET last Friday. Hope you're now keeping busy during your tww..
Bel, glad to see you're feeling better and ready to move forward. It's hard when everything falls apart at the end after such hope and expectation. My fingers are crossed for you for this cycle.
Neptune, hope the sniffing is goign ok and you're not getting too many of those lovely side affects.
JBM, hope your month off passes quickly and you find the break a welcome relief. Sometimes we just want things to happen and keep moving forward but when something happens forcing us to take time out, it allows us to get your head in a better place anyway. Best wishes for your next cycle.
Nicole, how did you go today.. hope your u/s shows your follies still growing nicely. Only 2 more sleeps till epu...
Shelbee and welcome. I did 3 oi-iuis before moving onto ivf. The tww can be a test to our sanity! Hope yours goes quickly with some happy news at the end of it all.
Bride of Chucky, hope your time is passing by quickly. October will be here before you know it, it's scary to think how quickly this year has gone.
Futuremum, GL for your cycle. Hoping it brings you success.
Wishing baby, hoping this month brings you success.
Smithy, where is AF?? Some people do rain dances, it's time we created an AF dance for you so you can get started!
Luckystrike, epu tomorrow! Best of luck. I'll be thinking of you. I found not being able to eat anything until after the epu the hardest! I'm a big fan of my brekkie and I was starving by the time I was sitting in the waiting room! Met lost of other nice ladies going through the same thing. Talking to them really helped to pass the time. I wasn't nervous until they actually took me into the theatre.
Epu today went well. Last Thursday's scan showed 13 follies. I must have had some sort of a power surge because today they pulled out 22 eggs! Now we wait until tomorrow's phone call to find out how many have fertilised... I'll check in tomorrow and let you know results.
Hubby's cooking dinner. I modified the hospital outpatient advice sheet which says not to do anything for 24 hours following sedation, including cooking or house work... I changed mine so it read "for one week" but he wasn't to be fooled!! Better enjoy it while it lasts!! Have a good night.
Kaydee, I hope the EPU went well for you and you got lots of eggies.
Rest up and can't wait to hear how you went
LuckyStrike, Good luck for you EPU tomorrow...I'm sure you will be fine
Make you have plenty of rest and keep up the water.
JBM, Glad to hear your doing ok. I too did a heap of gardening after my last IVF cycle and found it very relaxing.
AFM well it's confirmed that my EPU is this Wednesday at 8.30am So trigger tonight at 8.30pm!!!!
I am actually a bit excited and can't wait to hear how many eggies I have.
Todays blood test and u/s went well I have a total of 11 follies.
x8 in there 20's, x3 under 16
Endometrium is at 11.0
E2 came back at 11,617
Sorry no more personals, betta go and make dinner.
Have a nice night....AND don't forget it's the spin off of 90210 tonight...as you can guess am very excited

Kaydee, I must have posted at the same time as you
22 Eggies...that is amazing!!! You must be soo excited.
Can't wait to hear how many fertilised...
Did you get put to sleep for the procedure?
I only had sedation last time and am having the same on Wednesday.
Kaydee - WOW 22, that is amazing. Your are so lucky! I hope they all fertilise tomorrow!
Tell DH to keep it up, its nice to be pampered sometimes
I can only hope that I have 1/2 as you but I am not expecting miracles. I already know there are only 4, so I can only hope that they come out healthy and all fertalise!
I dont know why, but I am nervous. I am usually good at staying calm, but I cant help it, after all my dissapointments last week, I am just praying that its time for some good things to come my way now!
Nicole S - Good luck on Wednesday's EPU, sounds like you have nothing to worry about, you have lots of follicles which is great news!
To everyone else, I will write more another day. I am tired now and think I better get some rest before my big day tomorrow.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a successfull EPU & prey that I end up with some gorgeous embies for transfer later in the week (and hopefully a few to freaze!)
Luckystrike- best of luck for EPU...hope you get lots of nice eggs
kaydee- wow - great results...i hope lots fertilised...its nervous waiting to find out, and then watching how they progress
nicole- exciting to have EPU tomorrow! Hope it goes really well...you are finally nearly at the end and ready for the next stage
wishingbaby- well, i hope you and DH have lots of time and get the results you are after
Bel- hope you are still doing OK
JBM- hope you are also moving forward OK now
all the best to everyone else I may have missed this time.
afm....just waiting waiting, nervously waiting. felt twinges yesterday....so i wondered if that was our lil one implanting? then again, maybe I just had a stomach ache..lol...talk about second guessing everything! It's a one week wait for me as of today. hurry up week
Kaydee: 22 is fantastic, have you found out how many have fertilised. Based on the odds you would have to end up with at least 10 good ones making it further, you get some fantastic news today.
Nicole: Good Luck tomorrow with the EPU, it's so exciting to know that things are definately going to happen this cycle.
Luckystrike: Good luck with your EPU as well, lets hope there are some sneeky one hiding away.
Wishingbaby: Hopefully the swimmers do their thing and you get a BFP in a couple of weeks.
Smithy: Still no AF, has the FS out you on Provera or similar to make things happen. I have such an irregular cycle that I usually have to have help getting things started.
AFM: Started sniffing Syneral on Sunday (twice a day). It is soooo horrible, but hopefully get the result in the end. Stop the pill on Sunday, so hopefully day one of my FET cycle will be next Wednesday. My estimation is the FET will happen the week of the 6th October. It is taking so long to come around and work has been really stressful as well and I have been tempted to resign almost everyday for the past 3 weeks. But it is all about timing as if we do get a BFP next cycle, then I can hang out but if it doesn't work I'm going to wait until Xmas (when I have holidays) and then leave. They say stress doesn't impact of success rates but it must have some affect....
Hey Kelly- I agree re work, I am sure stress plays a part...I too have so often been tempted to throw it in at work...but then we need the $$...so hoping for a BFP to make things easier in that arena too, so I can relate.
I hope your FET cycle doesn't progress toooo slowly.
I'm back from my EPU!
I have to say the procedure was not as bad as I thought it would be.
Was given a "mild general" as the anaethesist called it so was put to sleep.
Next thing I know I opened my eyes and just thought I had dozed off didnt even realise it was over until the nurse asked me how I was and told me we were done.
She said they got 4 follicles which was no suprise to me. Spoke to the FS soon after and he said everything was fine and all we can do now is wait and see how many fertalise.
So keepining my fingers crossed for good news tomorrow.
I dont know why but I feel a lot more positive now. I have accepted the fact I only have 4 follies and am now just excited about transfer which should be on thursday (if all goes well )
Kaydee when is your transfer, do you now how many eggs fertlised yet?
Nicole S good luck for tomorrow! :goodluck2: I hope all goes well!
KellyD - Yes I hated the Synarel too but unfortunateley for us we have to do it! Hope your FET goes according to plan and results in a BFP!
Possums I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! Hopefully in a week you will get a BFP!
Wishingbaby - 3 follicles is great, good luck over the next few days!
Smithy - When we want AF to come it doesnt! Just be patient I am sure it will be here soon.
Shelbee - good luck with your BT on the 15th and that BFP!
I'm glad it all went well LuckyStrike! I really hope you get good results from here and my fingers are crossed for you. My EPU last time wasnt as bad as I thought it would be either. Now take it easy and may they all fertilise
as for me....I am trying not to think about being in the TWW and what's happening inside my body, but it's ALWAYS in the back of my mind. Have more acupuncture on Friday. Sadly DH will be away for work on BT day (back in the afternoon though thankfully, because good or bad, I'll want him around)
Smithy- My sweet friend..has the wicked witch shown up yet.I went 63 days once without her and went to see my accupuncturist who bought her on within 1 hour of my treatment...just a thought for you. Am thinking of you always.
Wishing baby- I hope you and DH are getting busy!!
Kaydee- 22 is an unreal number..big congrats.
Nicole- All the best for EPU. I hope you get good quality little ones!!
LuckyStrike- Glad to hear you are feeling positive. 4 good embies is a great result. I hope they all behave nicely for you and grow grow grow!
Kelly- I too unfortuantely get the whole work stress thing. I also have to just keep going so I can afford to keep on this TTC journey. I'm going to go back to yoga though as that was a great release and relaxation tool for me. I hope you can find some stress release too. There is just so much stress involved in all this. Am thinking of you.
Janet- How are you going my friend? I hope you are feeling ok and are feeling stronger every day. You are always in my thoughts.
Bride of Chucky- How are things at the moment?
Future Mum- Great to see you here in this thread too. I know there are some amazing ladies in the older women thread where you normally post. I hope we can be of some support to you as well. All the girls here are fabulous.
To anyone I missed out...sorry...need to go and get some dinner into my tummy.
AFM- am cruising along. Am very happy to have found out today where my FS has relocated to. And it's only 10 minutes from home. So next cycle will be with him. Day 5 now so still about 3 and a half weeks away. Will book in tomorrow to see him at his new clinic ASAP!!
LuckyStrike, great news that the EPU went well. that your four eggies all fertilise....
Possums, Hope that the TWW is not testing your patience too much...sending you lots of
KellyD, I have never used Syneral but know that it will be worth it in the end.
Hang in there October is only a blink away for your FET
Smithy, I see AF has finally started for you...go the pill popping
Kaydee, I hope that you got a fantastic fertilisation rate today.
wishingbaby, hope the trigger went well for you last night. your time is around the corner.
AFM, I just want to thank you all for your well wishes
EPU is in approx 12 hours time and am a little scared but know it's not too bad and over quite quickly.
I am however very excited to look down at my hand and see how many eggies we have and for a fantastic fertilisation
