Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - September/October 2008

Hello to all hope you are all enjoying your weekends

Kelly D- Glad AF finally showed for you and now you can get things started. I too like this site for the support none of my friends have ever had to deal with infertility so they don't really get what I am going through. It is good to have this site and be able to talk to other women who are going through the same thing or have already experianced it. Good luck with friday's scan:goodluck2:

Jodie C65- :welcome: good luck with TWW, not long to test now keeping my fingers crossed for you.:crossfingers:

Brooke 2550- Good luck with injections and ultrasounds keep us posted on what is happening

JBM- Hope AF arrives on time for you, keeping my fingers crossed for oct transfer :crossfingers::goodluck:

Neptune- Good luck with US and BT. Fingers crossed for WED EPU for you:crossfingers:

Nicole S- Hang in there the TWW will be over before you know it. :comfort::bellyrubs:

AFM Well I think I got an answer to my confusion of wether I O'd or not. AF reared her ugly head today so I guess that means back to square one for me. I will ring FS tomorrow and let her know and start on my injections again see if we can get some better results this time around.

:hug:JUST HUGS FOR YOU ALL TODAY AND I HOPE YOUR ALL GOOD AND HAD A GREAT WEEKEND THINKING OF YOU ALL

Hello everyone. I'm a Bellybelly 'virgin' and hoping ok to join this post :). I'm starting my first IVF cycle. I'll be 41 in Nov so have been fast-tracked to IVF cycle before 12 months is up.

I started Provera tabs on Sept 5 and stopped on Sept 15, 10 units Lucrin started on Sept 13 and still going. Now waiting for AF, which is just refusing to show - very frustrating. :(
I'm on cycle Day 35.

As soon as she does, I can start stimming.

Anyway, all the very best of luck to you all. Hope things are going well.

That girl.

Hi Everyone

I am a little out of touch while in my 2WW, but I hope you are all doing well.

I am not too hopefull about this cycle, so most likeley I will be returning here for another stim cycle soon!

Welcome to all the newbies!, and as for the rest, good luck with your pill popping, sniffing, japping, and extra good luck for anyone having EPU's

G'day gals! How's it goin?

Been off the air for a while again. Hope all is well for you all

Possums: CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hug::hooray::excited:

To our newbies Jodie, Red & thatgirl: :welcome:!

To those :2ww:ers due for blood tests in the next few days: I am :crossfingers: toes and everything esle for a round of :bfp:s! Let's see if we can break the record for the most BFPs in a row!

Smithy: You rock! I'll be asking you to speak to mine too when it's time! Also checked your piczo, lookin hot girl :whip: LOL

To everyone else, Hi! Hope things are starting to look up for you all soon!

AFM, week 2 of being an unemployed bum. My house is so clean you could eat off the toilet! AF arrived Sat, as much as I know it's nearly impossible, every time she's due I still hope there's some little miracle happening, but it never is. Oh well soon enough hey! The family bbq went well. Not a thing was mentioned about the "situation" and after copius amounts of alcohol step-son dearest even managed to have a half decent conversation with me!

Counting down the sleeps now!

Hi Everyone

Sorry - have been quiet or a little while.

Welcome to Jodie, Sara & That girl.

Also, I think I said it before but congrats Possums - wonderful news :)

AFM - I am running in line with Neptune and sitting patiently (or not) waiting for my u/s and bt results from this morning and probably looking at a Wed EPU. It is sad but I was so excited that I had to tick every box on the sign in sheet this morning - even the receptionist laughed at me when asked while I was smiling.

:rofl: BRIDEOFCHUKY..your funny,im hot hey well im not to sure about that ive got big ears hey ? dh and i are gonna have a baby with real BIG EARS i rekon cause we both have HUGE EARS LOL imagine just pushing the ears out ouch... hunny and yep i will have a chat to your as well if you want cause im getting bossy as we all really need some bfp befor xmas and i think theses embies and af and epu and fet and us all need to no this SMITHY MEANS BIZ SO GIVE US SOME BFP:dance:

thinking of you all:hug:

OH.. and welcome to the new girls;)

Hi Girls

I thought I would pop in and say hi to everyone. It is really good to see new people around here. I don't often post here, usually in blogs and journals etc... But I figure why not join in? I am starting the pill soon...heading for ICSI #2. I love the support BB can offer us and I feel lucky to be a part of it.

Well Smithy - fancy seeing you here? :lol: Glad your popping away - syneral soon? I can't remember if you sniff or have an extra bimbi (injection - bimbi is greek for injection - i think it sounds cute :redface:)

Go Possums - great news on BFP!

Lucky Strike - TWW is torture! I hope you get your BFP wish soon!

That girl, red lady, wishing baby - welcome to BB! :wiggle:

Hi Muppity and JBM I think I've seen you on my travels - but hello officially! :lol:

Anyway I look forward to following your journeys and I hope everyone has their ray of sunshine soon!
Also, I am meant to be doing a lot of uni work - I'm very good at procrastinating! So if am MIA for a few days you know I am being good and getting some work done!

Rach xx

:cheer:yay rachy not long now hun and good luk with the uni stuff

Hello again all! Well, we have another bunch of newbies! Welcome! I generally don't do personals ladies (just a heads up :D) as I tend to get lost with keeping up with the thread, so apologies in advance. Probably when I get to know everyone better it will start to happen.

Anyway, hope everyone's weekend was croozy and everyone got time out from stressing about the TWW. I must admit that I spent a lot of time knitting. It's a baby snuggle :D Was going to be part of the stock for my online shop that I'll be opening one day (my pipe dream! lol), but who knows, the way my symptoms are going I might need it myself! BB are still sore, feels like they're being pulled from the nipple (sorry if TMI!). Have had interesting and unusual cramps, MASSIVELY bloated (also unusual) and coming home on the train tonight I started feeling quite queasy. Then again, I was sitting facing backwards and I don't travel well that way, so it could be nothing. Oh, been stupidly hungry and queasy if don't eat too . . . fingers crossed, eh?

I was going to buy a HPT on my way home but luckily I don't actually pass a chemist and because of the rain couldn't be bothered going to the poopermarket after I'd arrived home. DH wouldn't go for me either, he's on a mission to not allow me to test early! This is probably a good thing.

Thinking of you all, and hoping that we'll all be belly buddies together at the end of this week! Dinner's ready, so I'm off for the evening.

Cheers,
Meo.

Hi Everyone

To all the newbies :welcome:.

To the old timers :hello:, hope all is going well with the sniffing, jabbing, pill popping or the waiting.

Sorry no personals, so many of us in here that I lose track of everyone, but you are all in my thoughts anyway.

Smithy: You crack me up, you are like our "Sunshine" in here brightening everyones day with you positive vibes.

AFM: Well at day 17 of sniffing (I feel like a bit of a junky) and bonus AF seems to have already gome away. For me this is great as she is normally here for a good 7 days, so this means that things can start getting into action to get the lining growing sooner... :dance:.

Start pill popping the Progynova on Friday to help boost the levels and hopefully next Friday there is a beautiful 9mm or more lining waiting for our 2 FET's. At least I can get through this week, GF week in Melbourne is always a good distraction and with my Team in the GF (Go Cats) again it is good to take my mind off the waiting. We are heading up to Echuca on Friday for a long Grand Final Weekend away (we went to the GF last year, but not this year as the money is being used to pay our medical bills) so by the time we are back home we will be closer to our transfer day.

Anyway, I will keep lurking here to see how things go with out TWW's with BT due this week, :crossfingers: we have lots more girls joining possums in the pg thread in th near future.

KellyD - Your FET isnt too far now, good luck with your 2 embies. Hopwe they both make it and you get a nice BFP at the end.

Meo - No no no, stay away from the HPT. THey just confuse things. You dont have long until the BT now, so stay strong, and hope you get your BFP on Friday.
Your symptons sound really positive, so just wait a little longer, and you'll get your suprise at the end.

I learnt my lession about HPT's while doing IUI. You do the test and you dont know if its true or not b/c of the meds, so you just end up waiting anyway, but then you also have the result from the HPT playing in your mind. It was harder during IUI thought b/c my clinic didnt test until the 19th day, but with IVF it is 14 days, which ends on THursday for me! Lets hope I get a nice suprise at the end, but my symptoms arent all that great so not holding my breath.

rach81 - good luck with uni, it can but such a bore I can see why you are looking for distractions :)

brideofchucky - good to see your FS appointment is getting closer, you must be getting excited.

Smithy - big hello to you, for making all the girls smile here.

Hi :hello:to everyone else, hope you are all well.

:hug:HELLO TO ALL MY GIRLS.
i hope your all having a good day hang in there and be positive i have faith in all of you we can do this ok

LUCKYSTRIKE & KELLY D you are both doing a great job

:lol:SO ALL AF,FET,PILL POPPEN,SCANS,BT,SYNERALS,ALL OF YOU KEEP GOING STRONG BEHAVE YOURSELVES AND BE GOOD TO US ALL WERE LOOKING FOR SOME BFP HERE.

:pbare with me here girls i no im being silly but i just no myself how hard this journey can get so ive learnt to keep myself happy and cruzy so im just doing the same for us all ok so just bare with silly old me :cryinglaugh:im trying to keep us all HAPPY AS I CAN

Oh Smithy - what would we do without your sunshine? Maybe my DH's description of me being "a bit like Satan's more grumpy older sister" would be closer to the truth LOL

AFM - I have EPU at 7:30 in the morning. And then a whole day on the couch with all the things that I have been rocording the last few weeks because I have been too tired to watch them YAY!

Good luck tomorrow for your EPU Muppity, great that you have it nice and early.
Hope you get lots of eggies.

BIG :hug: to everyone else, I hope you are all doing well....

Oh Goodluck with your EPU tomorrow mupity - will be thinking of you! :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:

Meo - I agree with luckystrike stay away from HPT's they are trouble - I only wish I could take my own advice @!!!!!! But seriously you have done most of the hard work and Friday isn't far away now!:pray: for you!

Luckystrike - I hope you are doing well! Nearly there!!!!!!!!
