Yay for AF for Smithy . No more AF for Smithy allowed, she doesn't like you and you don't get another invitation to visit for a long time. At least 9 1/2 months away.
Just a quick one from me....... Finally I'm back in the TWW thread. Had 2 of our day 3 FET's transferred today and they both survived the thaw so we still have 12 snowflakes in safe keeping.
BT on the 20th and hopefully either or both of our little ones stays put to join our family.
I'll keep checking where you are all at, but hopefully the next TW will go fast or else I might lose my mind
Hi girls
I wondered if I might crash your discussion. Having read through many of your stories I can relate to them and you are a wonderful bunch of supporters. My brief background is TTC #2 years. Tried clomid for 6 months, lap / dye (normal), 2 x IUI (1 chemical preg) and now just coming to the end of my first IVF cycle (had a super faint BFP on Monday, but spotting has started and 100% sure AF is on her way. My blood test is tmrw but I'm not holding out much hope - suspect another chem preg). We've got 4 frozen embs which is great - but had hoped for more given a 22 egg haul. Today is my 2nd wedding anniv and we were really hoping for some good news, so I'm feeling particularly sorry for myself today... Anyway, your thoughts and advice are most welcome on how best to push on through to the next month - it just seems to keep getting harder

Welcome to our thread. Thanks for sharing your story and I'm sorry to hear about your latest cycle - though maybe this one will end up being a sticky one. Please keep us posted on how you go.
As for me, grrr and humbug. I only have 10 big eggies developed (there were 18 follicles last scan) and I'm feeling bloated and tired. I'm booked in for egg pick up on Friday and have no idea how I will survive 2 more days of work! (Today's i'm at home sickie) Sorry for my complaints...
Thanks Ruth - lovely to meet you.
And no apology necessary for your complaints - nothing hurts quite like swollen ovaries. All the very best for your pick up on Friday - I'm sure you've got 10 big healthy ones.
I will certainly provide an update after my BT tmrw. I should try to stay positive I suppose. Mels
Wow, there are a lot of people. I send my best to all of you as I am not very good at remembering all of the names.
Just a quick up date. Our little ones fought through to the end and 2 made it to blastocyst. My FS decided to put back two....so fingers crossed. It is quite funny lying there when they are doing the transfer and there are three guys, the FS, the embriologist and my husband helping you to get pregnant.... !!!! Very amusing. Gee the things we do.
I also have another embie which they are going to watch over night and see if they make it to freezing. So all in all a positive day. I just hope the positives keep coming!!
So I will move over with Abbie. Thank you for all of your support. I will keep a look out and look forward to seeing everyone over at the two week wait....fingers crossed and prayers for everyone.
Wishing Baby- So glad you got your results. Hope you and DH have a fun few days together!!
Miss K- Welcome back..is good to see you again. Congrats on both the 1sts you have achieved. I hope this is the start of great things to come for you.
Paula- Bring on the jabbing! Am happy you are about to get started. We must be the only people in the world who get excited about all this jabbing, sniffing and pill popping!!
Kelly- Congrats on the 2 on board. Hope you have an easy TWW. I'll see you there next Wed.
Mels- Hi and welcome. Congrats 1st on making it this far and having a successful transfer on your 1st IVF cycle. This is such a hard journey we are both on. I don't really know what sort of advice I can give you. Everytime I get a negative, I feel like my whole world has fallen down around me and I just don't know how to get through the pain and disappointment. But some how, with every failed cycle, the will to have a baby kicks in and I just focus on the next cycle and moving forward. With each negative I have received, I know I am one cycle closer to my positive. My best advice would be to ask lots of questions, stay strong and ask for help when you need it. We are all here to offer support to each other. I hope so much for you, that tomorrow brings you wonderful news. We are here if you need us.
Ruth- No apologies needed. I'm in exactly the same place you are!! I hope you don't get any more uncomfortable. Can you maybe go sick for the rest of the week? I'm trying to drink lots of water to flush my system out. Am thinking of you.
Millymoo- Congrats on the 2 on board. You must be so happy tonight. Fingers crossed for the little remaining one, but hopefully you won't need to worry about it til you decide to have your next bub!! Have a cruisy TWW. Will see you there next Wed.
All my other friends..hi and am thinking of you all and hoping all our dreams come true this cycle.
AFM-Had another scan and BT today. FS said yesterday my oestrogen was ok but a little low. Today it has increased, my follies have grown and EPU is booked for Friday.I'm exhausted and so uncomfortable. I feel like I'm going to burst! 4 follies on my left side and 7 on my right. The right side is so much more swollen it's unbelievable. Yet another scan and BT tomorrow, then hopefully no more.
So..trigger tomorrow night, during my "healthy lifestyles" lecture at my clinic!!
Am so looking forward to getting these eggs laid!!
Hi everyone..just checking your progress again...and wishing you all the best. I am hoping you get great results
Bel- yay- trigger tomorrow...soon you can get those lovely eggs out and get a strong little embryo ready to transfer.At least soon you won't feel so uncomfortable. Thinking of you xx

HI again you guys are awsome and I appreciate all the support. My partner and I have appointment today with gp and are hoping to start pushing for a referal to monash IVF at allamanda hospital. As we are still young doctors seem to be a little reluctant but we want to start SOMETHING now to have hope! Im on CD 21 of a 28 day cycle and sick of doing the 2WW! anyway will let you know how things go! thanks again! oh and BEL I will be taking that program once i get my referel and lilmisshavachat I will be pushing that fact that I want to be tested for scarring trust me! ive been worrying about that for years!
kellyD Good luck in your TWW. Hope you come back to give us some wonderful news. mels77 happy anniversary for yesterday. Best of luck with your blood test today and as you said, stay positive! Ruth 10 eggies is a perfect number so you should be happy and stay positive. Good luck with EPU on Friday. Millymoo8 Great little embies you have there. Best of luck and hopefully both or one stick! Bel i love your comment about "getting your eggs laid" smithy congratulations on getting your license back.
Had my appointment today and am now stocked up with my meds. They gave me Gonal F this time around as they didnt have the puregon so im a little funny about it thinking will it make a difference. Never mind, a change might just be what i need to give me that positive!
Have a wonderful day lovely ladies (i love this smilie..lol)
Thanks for all your kind words ladies, makes me feel less like a "freak"!
I'm not really in the right headspace for personals, but thanks for everyone who has updated us on their progress and I'm thinking of you! Thanks for sharing this journey with me so far.
Here's a silly IVF nurse story. All the ones I've seen so far have been lovely, really kind, down to earth, helpful etc. Yesterday's one was older, distracted and seemed to be rushing. She gave me the box with my trigger injection in it and just said, you need to inject this tomorrow night at 8:30pm. I assumed it would be the same as my Gonal F pen. Luckily, I happened to open the box and NOPE, it was different. I'm thinking "Do I look like a nurse who knows how to give injections? No! How about some instructions woman! Where, how etc?" So I actually had to ask her to give me instructions on it. Grrrr... And she actually said "You will have to abstain from Wednesday". Again I'm thinking... abstain from what? Alcohol, nope, I'm already abstaining from that... took a few seconds for me to realise that she meant abstain from DTD. I hope I don't have to see her again.
Ruth i know excatly what you mean. At my clinic there are about 4-5 different nurses. Sometimes i get the same one for more than one BT during a cycle other times i get a different one every time i go in. I have my favourites, which are the ones that are soooo full of info and support and then there are the ones that look like they dont want to be there and bruise me every single time. I can tell by looking at the nurse if i will end up with a bruise or not! I too walked away today feeling kind of rushed. She took my bloods, gave me the gonal f boxes and said good bye. I usually get everything at the first appointment, trigger, sharps box, brown bag with DH's little cup etc. Lucky its my third time and i know that i dont really need it all right now but its king of made me feel unorganised (im a bit of an organised freak)!
Hi everyone, just popping in quickly to say HI to everyone.
I am on top of the world, my scan this morning went well and follies look great (must have had a growth spurt) so I am triggering tonight. EPU at 8.45 am on Friday YAY! I'll be back later, got to run, hugs and best wishes to all.
I have not posted on this thread before but some of you may have met me on the TTC after MC thread or on some new threads I frantically posted yesterday.
I would appreciate some advice:
After 3 MC's I am on my first IVF with PGD cycle.
After 4 nights of Puregon (200 units) I had my first BT yesterday and my estrogen was only 126. My FS has increased my dose to 300 units (did my first increase last night) and I have been warned my cycle may well be cancelled . Next BT Friday.
What is worrying me is I am still spotting (to do with low estrogen). Just wondering if anyone else has any experience of low estrogen/spotting and if an increase helped them to carry on in a cycle?
Would be very grateful to hear from anyone.
Thanks
WTH
PS: what time does everyone take their lucrin and fsh and do you do it at different times?

: Added question about stims
Hi ladies, after a lengthy period of time of ing, I thought its time to come out to say a big hello to everyone. I won't attempt to catch up on personals today as there are so many new faces. But would like to wish Bel, Baby Dreamtime and Ruth best of luck on EPU.
AFM, DH's SCSA result (sperm DNA test) just came back as a 30%, not very good news. But it seems FS has its plan of attack (Menevit, ejaculation 7 days leading up to EPU and handpick sperm in the IVF process), I hope it works in this upcoming cycle. Just get more anxious now as I am new to all these. Anyone have any experience in this area?
Anyway, I will be starting Provera next Monday and Lucrin next Friday. Hopefully EPU will be in early to mid November.
Ok - so I must seem like a crazy new poster. But I just read on another website that by injecting into your bottom the medication is better absorbed and will increase estrogen levels. I know I can swing this by my clinic, but I am not finding them that approachable.
Just wondered if anyone at there could share their POV???
. No more AF for Smithy allowed, she doesn't like you and you don't get another invitation to visit for a long time. At least 9 1/2 months away. 
hey to all you girls gee your all doing a great job and i rekon were all gonna get these BFP before xmas 
mum rekons shes not gonna drive any more lol..

. Next BT Friday.
