Just a quick one from me this morning as Im at work and really should be working hehehehe.
Sonyalouise ? Congratulations on your 11 eggs. Fantastic news. Fingers crossed for the coming days and for ET.
AFM ? Well I can officially say now that I am in Cycle #2 of IVF ICSI PGD (that?s a mouth full, try saying that 10 times fast lol). Sonyalouise, I only wish that I have started my FSH injections. Last night was injection number 1 of 10units Lucrin. Am already feeling a little headachy and will be sure to keep the water up as so to assist with easing the pain. So now all I have to do is concentrate on moving forward. Am to take my last OCP tomorrow night and then BT to check my levels are nice and low on the 15.10.09. Need to have AF though before we can start my FSH Injections so going by last cycle, am expecting AF to arrive on the 15.10.09 however, should she wish to arrive a little earlier she is more than welcome lol. Although, am hoping she behaves on the 16.10.09 as I have my little cousins wedding which is a formal dress code and so am hoping to be comfortable that day. Am also excited to have that first BT and to start my FSH. I?m curious to know what dose I will be on given that my first cycle was cancelled due to not getting enough eggs to even go through with EPU. Hmmm here I go wishing time away again!!!
Sorry for the no other personals but know that Im thinking of you all. Sonyalouise, I can only hope that this time we get 11 eggs as that?s a good number to have especially when like us, you are going through the ICSI and PGD side of IVF as well!!
Talk soon ladies, and know that I will still be kind of lurking with the occasional post on my progress.
Emerald- hope you have some good results tomorrow, Sunday and Monday. Not to mention Tuesday!
Motherhood- I hope you get 11 eggs as well, It was such a surprise because all the way through my FS was worried about my response, at the last scan I had 9 follies but only 4 that were a decent size. Even before going into the procedure my FS was preparing me for the fact out of this we may only get 5-6 and that all we need is one really good one.
As you know this is only the first step, now we need to wait and see how many fertilise and make it to a decent embryo.
Good to see you have started lucrin, I agree the headaches are dreadful, they are supposed to ease once you are on FSH but mine didn?t. I am celebrating today because I have energy and no headache!!!
I hope AF behaves herself on the 16th
Nix- I am not sure if my FS practices obstetrics but I will check that out, his main consulting room is at MIVF Freemasons and he also sees patients at the Epping satellite clinic which is where I first saw him.
Airline- Hope you and DH have a great night tomorrow!
AFM- Well waiting with bated breath for the phone call this afternoon about fertilisaton.
Nix ~ No I didnt realise the govt rebate ended at the end of the year - that's good to hear, thank you.
I think I had some cramping after ET but I suppose its hard to know whether that is from the procedure. A friend told me that period type pain after ET was a good sign for her when she got her BFP. I hope they are good signs for you. Try not to let it stress you too much. FX and GL
Meg76 ~ Hi and welcome. All the best with your 1st IVF cycle.
Lise ~ thanks heaps. Royal Jelly is supposedly good for fertility and a relaxer. I havent picked it up yet but apparently it tastes like crap. It has something to do with the Queen Bee and reproduction of bees. I think there is a thread about it on BB somewhere. Im very ignorant on it too but I like the fact that it was good for stress. Hope work keeps your mind off things - just dont work too hard.
Sonyalouise ~ thank you. Its good when us girls have a win over our DH's isnt it! LOL
11 eggs is fantastic - well done. I hope they all make it through - FX. GL today with the results.
Airline ~ thanks - yep it is very expensive. I wish we hadnt bought such a big tractor because that is another reason it is hard to sell - its too big for people.
We all have to splurge sometimes - Im not a shoe person but I certainly love to spend money . Getting excited for you for your EPU!!
Emerald ~ very exciting for you too, hoping its a BFP for you. FX
Motherhood ~ All the very best for this cycle - hoping you get lots of eggs. FX
Hi to anyone ive missed and I hope everyone is well.
I swear my boss if going to call me into his office one day soon and ask what BB is! Being naughty again and posting from work, he, he!
sonyalouise - Good for you for being pushy (not that I think you were!) and reminding the receptionist that you were there! I'm glad to hear that the EPU went well and 11 eggs.. what a fantastic result! I am so happy for you! I have all of my fingers, toes, legs and arms crossed that you get a good number to fertilise and make it to blast! Good Luck with the phone call today. PS: Thanks for asking about how the injections are going.. no major side effects to report- yay!
Motherhood here I come - Congratulations on starting another cycle - yay! I that you have good results this time round and get to do an ET this time with plenty left in the freezer! I started on the Lucrin at 10units as well and ending up with a nice big headache as a result! It did disappear though after I started the FSH.
Nix - I am with you... I am so conscious of every little cramp or twinge during the 2WW! I promised myself that I wouldn't do it last transfer and think that I was worse than the 1st one! I can only remember having craps after both of my transfers so Lots and lots of for you and I pray that you get your long awaited BFP! When are you due for your BT?
Emerald Star - I hope the 2WW is treating you well and lots and lots of to you! Can't be too long now until you can POAS - yay! I hope you are allowed to bring your BT forward one day .
Airline - My EPU is scheduled for Monday, 19 so just over a week to go - yay! Hopefully the next week and a bit goes quickly for us both... If I don't make it back onto BB before Monday, I hope you have a great time at the party on Saturday!
Lise - Thanks.. the injections aren't so bad so all good.... My DH sounds exactly like yours... we were at Ikea the other night and I just happen to walk into the kids section.. which just happened to have baby cots in it... and so DH went all mad at me and dragged me to straight through to the lighting section, he, he! I can't wait to hear your results and I that you get a nice BFP!
Meg - Good to hear that you have started on your journey! I get the cooler bags as well and so thought the same thing! In fact, my comment to DH was 'at least the cooler bag will be good for your 6 packs, he, he!' Good Luck with the injections and your 1st cycle .
Loops - So glad to hear that you had a great time at the Deni Ute Muster.. You can definitely add my selling vibes to the list! I hope you make that sale soon so that you can start another cycle...
Tracy - I hope your cycle is progressing well and that synarel is getting easier to take!
melttc - That is a great result and at only 100IU! Good Luck with the scan on Monday and I hope those follies grow nice and big and multiply with the increased dosage!
Jilly - My DH has a very low count (2million) and poor motility and morphology and our FS said that IUI wouldn't work for us... I guess if your FS is suggesting it than he thinks that you may have a chance of success... Ultimately, the decision is yours and you should do what you feel is best for you and DH.
Mitf - I am exactly like you and although I hope for a BFP, I like to plan ahead just in-case.... I will go straight into another stim if this one doesn't work out as well cause of the medicare thing. My FS did tell me the other day though that they have done the sums and if they are right, a stim cycle should cost approx. an additional $800 (It is now $7680 with ICSI).
A big hello to Juniper and anyone else that I may have missed!
AFM - Nothing much new to report.. just getting really bloated from the FSH so hopefully that means that my little ovaries are hard at work, bless them, he, he!

Ive enjoyed a couple non-stressing over TTC days. Spent the day at the horses yesterday
Ive made the decision to apply for a new job. Ive not been haapy in my current job for a while and kept putting it off, thinking well soon Ill be pg and can take maternity leave
The perfect position has presented itself now, so Ive applied and what will be will be.
Meg- Oh thats funny what the nurse said to you about the breezers, sounds like something I would say
Lise- as far as I understand the syneral stops the piturity glad regulating your hormones, hence allowing the other drugs to take over. Ive had to start it both times now on day 21 of cycle before IVF cycle
SonyaLousie -congrats on your eggs thats a great result hun. FX for a great result
Coral- at your boss calling you in to ask what BB is, dont worry he/she will probably check it out for themselves I hope those wee eggs are growing growing growing
AFM- nothing to report still sniffing lol. Thought AF was coming last night, had some spotting and its gone again Just waiting for it to show so I can start on my injections
On tuesday night i had my last pregnyl shot...alittle later i took a HPT to see how dark the line would be so when i test i can see when it's out of my system...the line was there, faint but still visible, yesterday I POAS again and the line was slightly darker..i dismissed it thinking maybe the first one was a dud..well today i POAS again and the line was darker again..shouldn't it be getting lighter????
I am hoping that this is a sign that i might be pregnant and the HCG is getting stronger in my system Could this be possible??
My BT has been brought forward to Tuesday AM.
Someone give me some insight please!!! I'm going nuts!!! I knew i should have waited till Sunday!!
Sorry about the no personals but this has just got my head spinning....
Oh Emerald you poor thing - there would be nothing worse than that teasing! I can't help as I don't even know what pregnyl is and what its purpose is. I hope the other girls can help soon. If not I would be calling the nurses first thing tomorrow!! Hope its a BFP for you tho!!!
Can't really help either, the pregnyl is definitely still in your system but that the line gets darker coudl be a good sign, maybe ring your clinic to see what they say, keeping fingers crossed for you.
Also have a question for a friend of mine, are any of you from Adelaide and can you recommend a good clinic there? She didn't like Flinders much....
Cycle #2 has Officially begun!!!!!
with the phone call today. PS: Thanks for asking about how the injections are going.. no major side effects to report- yay!
to Juniper and anyone else that I may have missed!
