Meg76 - Thanks for your reply and thoughts . Yay - that means we can be cycle sisters ! I so agree with you... I was worried at the start of taking the FSH that I couldn't feel anything and then all of sudden (within a day or two) I was worried that I was feeling too much! I hope we are both worrying for nothing and that we get good results regardless! I must admit, you made laugh about the 'relax comment,' he, he! How did your scan go today/ have you had it yet?

Sonyalouise - Congratulations on your results, they are fantastic. Fingers crossed and good luck with your 2WW
Meg - GL with your scan. Be sure to keep us all posted.
Nix, Emerald Star, Lise - GL ladies with your 2WW also. Again, we want to know how your progressing so be sure to let us know ok!!!
Melttc - 9 Follies is great. Keep growing little ones, grow.
Tracy - Hope the FSH injections are treating you well.
To everyone else and all I have missed. GL and FX with where ever you are at with your cycles are at. Know that my thoughts are with you all.
AFM - Well started my Lucrin injections last Thursday (Yay finally some progress) and took my last OCP on Sat night so now Im kind of sitting tight, waiting for AF to rear her ugly head LOL. Be sure ladies to send AF vibes my way. Thursday morn, bright and early will be my first BT and I'm expecting that I'll also pick up my FSH meds etc and then about Thurs lunch I should get my call from the PGD nurses at SIVF with the results and what to do next which im expecting/hoping will be to start my FSH on Sat 17/10/09.
In the mean time, in between injections and seriously thinking about how this cycle will pan out in the area of will we have the same issue as last time (cancel before EPU due to poor performance), will we have enough follicles, will we get enough eggs, will we have enough eggs make it through and fertilise, will we have enough when they have fertilised that will make it to Blast stage and then after all that, will we have many non affected eggs that dont have DH's yucky gene to have a FET and then some snowbubs and will we have a successful ET and end up with a BFP (See lots of thinking), I have been trying to work out whether or not we will be able to fit in another cycle before the new Medicare disaster hits. Cant help myself, need to plan ahead "just in case" but Im thinking that time will beat us on that one . I will ask the nurse on Thursday when they call with my results and next steps what they think and see what they say. What do you guys think?
Also, DH and I are looking at going on holidays OS. Maybe Fiji or Vanuatu or even Hawaii given the weather warnings for the South Pacific for a break. We have just closed up our small business and it has been a few years since we have been able to have a holiday and go anywhere, we really need some time out and completely and utterly relax and be waited lol. So, that means im kind of concerned about the timing of that too, because we want to do it before DH gets really serious about job hunting. What Im worried about is that I dont want to be stuck in a foreign country should I fall ill etc (If you know what I mean). My nurse has told me that I can expect EPU all going well to be around the last week of Oct and then ET somewhere in the wk beginning 02.11.09 and then, fingers crossed, BT for you know what would be between 12.11.09 and 17.11.09. Hmmmm what to do? Any advice ladies? Were looking at going for a week just to completely relax and so was thinking of booking for the middle of the 2ww. Maybe after hey, what you think?
Well enough from me. Be sure to send AF vibes my way wont you. GL to everyone, I'll be watching anxiously for some BFP's and to see everyones progress!!!
Motherhood here i come!- A holiday sounds perfect! Being a current resident of Far North Queensland, may I make a suggestion? If you're concerned about being too far away if something goes wrong why not look at Port Douglas? It's gorgeous and warm and you feel like you're a million miles away from everything but you can be back in Sydney in 3 hours or come back to Cairns if there's a problem.
I'm sorry to now make this post about me but I'm after some reassurance (or reality if that's what's needed!). I've just had my first scan and there are only 5 follicles. That seems low to me but my FS said he was happy with things and hasn't increased my dose of FSH so I guess that's a good sign? I spoke to the nurse and she said those numbers are on the low side but my estrogen levels are perfect so it may mean that they are good quality and contain eggs. She also said that there may have been some small ones that he didn't count that may be there when I have my next scan on Friday. I'm just worried that the odds will be against me if I'm starting with a low number...
The nurse also said that the lady who was in just before me had no follicles so things could be worse...
Hello Ladies,
Before i update you all on my day today, i would like to note some personals.
Lise - thanks for your support and i hope your 2WW is drawing to its end soon!!
Meg76 - You're funny, but sooo glad to hear that there's possibly another SERIAL POAS'er in the making!! Good luck!!!
sonyalouise - 12 days to go!!!! I hope this time is your BFP!! with the symptoms thing..well with #1 i had NO Symptoms and although it didn't work out I was pregnant!! with this second one i had some of the classic "pregnancy symptoms" so i assumed the best. GL hon!
Mitf - So excited about your upcoming FET! All the best to you and i really do hope you and ALL the girls get some BFP this time round. Although i must say don't know much about how the FET thing works, but you sound happy and excited about your progress so i'm happy for you!!
Coral73 - I haven't suffered from OHSS, i just drink lots of fluids..if i get sick of water, teas from teas to juices, to some softdrinks back to water etc etc...so i have been fortunate to keep OHSS at bay....but then again i don't get as many follies as some of you young girls so that also prevents me from OHSS. Otherwise hang in there as the exciting bits are yet to come and then you will have to face that dreaded 2WW!!
Motherhood here i come - Glad to hear thing are progressing in your cycle....i know everyone says the same thing about worrying whats gonna happen in the next cycle..but i understand it's what we do....we all want our next cycle to be better than the last and of course we all want it to be the one! There is nothing that i can say that will make those agonising questions and uncertanties disappear, but what i do know is that no matter what we did our best and face the next challenge with the same uncertanties.
As for a HOLIDAY.. well..what a greeeeat idea to keep your mind off the 2WW. and let me tell you FIJI is the bomb....went there Christmas before last and had a wonderful time..the islands are beautiful !! Only 4.5 hr flight from Sydney..cheap fares at the moment as well....and no I don;t work for FIJI Tourism!!
AFM - well....BFN.....apparently the POSITIVE faint faint line that you had to hold on an angle in the direct sunlight and squint with your third eye was a EVAP LINE!!!!!!!
Do you believe that...of course, why should it be that easy for me when there's ladies who have been trying longer than me...right! Well, I've had my cry and NOW #3 here i come. This will probably start sometime early to mid NOvember when AF shows..you all know the drill...Now back to exercise, picking up dog poo ( DH was cleaning it while i'm cycling, but when i'm not well....someones gotta and DH won't) and pondering about how we can make #3 a SUCCESS!! sorry to bother you all and give you my FALSE HOPES, but then again that's why i joined this site...to share my good, bad, weird, funny, true, false, (you get the pic) so thanks for listening...i can hear people talking over me...am i boring you...sorry ..i'm finished now BYE!!
Meg76 - Looks like we posted at the same time... about the follies, keep positive, anything can change by EPU. We all keep saying it, its quality, not quantity....
EmeraldStar - I am so sorry to hear about your BFN . I had high hopes that this little one was going to stick. Enjoy your cry and a glass or two... you deserve it - plus maybe a massage if DH can be cohersed. All the best for cycle #3. Hopefully your FS can mix it up a bit and find the solution to get you on the November wall of fame.
MotherhoodHereICome - I think a holiday would be fantastic. Wish I could have one! I would like to second FNQ. I went there Nov last year - Cains, Port Douglas and Cape Tribulation. We went out to the GB reef and enjoyed some seriously amazing dinning. DH and I hadn't had a tropical Aus holiday in a number of years and we had a fantastic time. (alternatively, I have heard Broome is lovely as well).
Mitf - Thanks hon.....really trying hard to keep going....the jabs are getting easier to take but the psychological stress is getting harder to deal with with every cycle....
just a quick post as I have to get dinner ready...
emerald ~ so sorry to hear about your result I was really hoping that positive faint line would turn out to be a BFP..damn that EVAP line! Treat yourself to a glass of wine two and try to put the last cycle behind you. Bring on cycle#3! and I cycle #3 makes your dreams come true!!!!
AFM - this is going to probably going to gross a few people out so I apologise in advance, but today when I went to the toilet I discovered lots of clear CM. I would like to know if it's possible to ovulate while on IVF?? Usually lots of clear CM is a sign that ovulation is about to happen!
Oh my goodness I am away from BB for 12 hours and I can't keep up. This is just a quick note to Emerald, I will catch up with the rest of you loveley ladies a bit later.
Emerald I am so sorry to hear your news. It is that it is amazing how many of us experience all the same emotions and exhibit the same neurotic behaviour :-) And it is never boring hearing about it, look at how many of us are addicted.The great thing about BB is we all understand and it helps knowing that we aren't alone. Hopefully November will be your month.
I am seeking some advice from you who are more experienced, and hopefully less confused, than me. After 3 failed IUI cycles DH and I have decided to move onto IVF after a month's break. We have a FS appt next Monday and I have no idea what questions to ask. Given your experiences, what do you wish you had asked/known about IVF from your FS before starting treatment? I would love any guidance you can give me about what to ask. I feel a bit overwhelmed by the whole process.
I hope it's ok, but I think I'll hang around this thread.
Sal - You are welcome here of course. There would be loads more questions that I wont think of as I don't have any issues with me...ours are on DP side and we have not been through IUI. But I guess I would have wanted
* clear information on what the stats are re success rates
* what my FS belief's were about day 2 embryo transfer v's 5 day (blastocyst) v's hatching
* what FS feelings are on 2 emby transfers
* If what he proposes does not work first time, what would we do next time - given you have already been through various IUI's
I know everyone says it - but at least you and DH are young. Not sure if the above helps, hard to know what to advise what to ask!
Know that you are welcome here at BB and never think your questions are dumb - odds are a good % of the rest of us are wondering the same thing!!
