Wow! Look at that BFP section. Huge congratulations bunny feet!
Jasmine- wishing you all the best for your next scan. What a horrible time you are going through!
Afm- term has ended. Phew. Time to get sorted with acupuncturist. FS appointment in October just to discuss if any changes need to be made. 2 failed FET with perfect embryos...... Maybe nothing will have to change? Hopefully FET in December.
Keep on getting fit is all I can do really.
I would just like to say thank you to each & everyone of you beautiful women on here for your support through all my ups and downs in the last year. I appreciate all that you have done & said to me comfort me & the knowledge & wisdom you have shared. I am praying that your long awaited BFPs are just around the corner. I will definitely be stalking checking up on you all. Xx
I'm happy to go back on the list but I'm just in waiting mode :)
I gave myself a stern talking to and TTC isn't directly on the to be sorted list but atm I also know I will try again! I am unsure about FET yet not even sure if I will be in the same state as the embryos when I decide to get back in the chair ;) so that will add a hurdle. I go back to work tonight after almost 2 weeks off with sickness and then the mc. I might get a little anxious later but big girl panties will be insitu ;)
Thanks for the support lovely women :)
Hmm to Clomid or not to Clomid is the question atm....
Appt with fs tomorrow to figure out my plan as I'm unsure at this point!
I can get pg on clomid but not stick , to keep on trying and I think use estrogen or something to thicken lining this time?
Last period was really light!
This one not so much I thought it was this morning when I left the house ... Spotting like last time then when I went to Sharkeys for appt after I left the loo there was soaked thru blood patch in my crotch (why oh why did I wear my white shorts?! )and butt area EUeeww! To my horror it was very visable from both views :-/ .... I had my lil bag in front and skinned out to car very quick and did not get out till in garage! And then of course only time there's some bloke at my doorstep wanting me to buy raffles ugh! I put bag in front of my crotch and brought some just so he wouldnt stand there longer trying to convince me!
Then I prayed he would not look at me getting in the door past him lol!
Not little patches... Big yuk tmi ...
God I was happy in that door :-)
Never had that before..
Never again I hope...
Oh Sarah if it makes you feel any better, my fist AF after I had Quinn was in the middle of the shopping centre when I was wearing denim shorts and it SOAKED them and everyone could see it :(
I'm lovin' the BFP list too!
Glorious, it's still early days yet. You'll always remember and miss your little angel, but the pain will hurt less keenly, given enough time... You'll know when you're ready, so, until then, don't push yourself into anything too early. :hug:
Sarah, how awful! Thankfully it has been a long time since I've had that happen, but that's probably because I avoid leaving the house CD1-3 as often as possible, and if I do leave the house I use the public toilets frequently!
Amy, that first PPAF is always a sneaky one, isn't it? You never know when it's going to turn up (unless you're carefully monitoring for O), so it's hard to be prepared and it tends to be quite a nasty one for most women.

I double up these days - tampons and pads :/
This is the first time in ages I've actually been on the laptop.
So planning FET in December. Ages away.....right? Wrong!! FS is booked for 2 weeks time.
BUT feeling the pressure for losing weight. I am steadily losing, but so so so slowly. I do feel better as recently I've been upping the exercise and you can now tell my body is changing. It's only taken nearly two years....
It's strange but after taking so long to get UTD, I felt and sometimes still feel like my weight is my medal.....I was trying so hard to phrase that the right way.....but in my head that's what I mean.
But, its time to move on.
Today I saw an acupuncturist. No appointment, but she sat me down and went through everything. EVERYTHING! I am now feeling slightly overwhelmed, motivated, scared etc... I have Chinese medicine (Dr Google here I come), and tips for diet which includes scrapping everything I eat (and drink)..... I know its the right thing to do. So what's the problem? Fear. Lack of control. Probably.
I start actual acupuncture next week. Scared!
Hopefully FET in December.............Terrified!
Sorry for the 'blog entry'.:rolleyes:
*taking head out of sand*
Hi ladies,
So it looks like I will have a FET in early December. I went to see my FS and he agreed to do a light scrape like a D & C on Monday, and then I have to sit out the next AF in October and will do a FET after the November cycle (AF will be due around 18 Nov, so transfer will be approximately 2 weeks later so in early Dec). This BFN cycle has messed up my head, so waiting out a cycle will be better for me. We are not growing the embryos to day 5, we're sticking with day 3. He is not agreeing with putting 2 in, simply because a multiple pg is just too risky for me. I have also decided not to POAS next time, this is what has messed me up. So myturn, no more POAS for me! We'll see how true to my word I will be ;).
Miss B sounds like a great plan. Wishing you all the best luck ill be stalking you ;)
Yay for no POAS!! Call me EVERY time you feel tempted, I am happy to keep you busy and talk you out of it every time!! :hug: sorry its been so hard xox
Thanks Bunnyfeet, hope you don't mind me stalking you lol!
Thanks myturn, expect a few calls from me!! hahahaha. I know I can count on you :) Seriously, I have this hatred for pee sticks now. How funny is that? lol.
Hilarious!! And good for you I reckon! They are from the devil!:
LOL I like that, from the devil!:
Yay miss b!!! Hahaha I am a POAS addict as well. It's sad that I won't even have transfer for another 10ish days and I've already bought a 3 pack!
Hello Everyone, I came back from holiday for nearly a month now, sorry I have not been here to say hello because I am quite busy to prepare my exam which is in next month.
Lots of happening in these two months, congratulations for Jasmine, Beau, Curtysgirl and Bunnyfeet, hope all of you have a health and happy nine month pregnancy. Juniper, hope to hear a good news from you soon.
Bunnyfeet, I have to thank you because my stomach is getting much better than before, the liquorice tea and bio-soda helped a lot and plus propolis liquid (when I went to buy liquorice tea in the health shop, the lady introduced the Propolis liquid to me as well, it works well one me. I had Propolis capsule before, but the liquid one is stronger and better).
I had my Hest.&Lap. done in the early of this month, they found an endometriosis and adhesion and also found natural killer cell was positive. I decided to still stay in Monash, but I changed the doctor. I just got my medication from my nurse today, there are a lot of medications this time. I was nice and relax without doing IVF, now I start getting nervous. I am still with Elonva for FSH, but the growth hormone has been added on as well to improve egg quality, and the treatment for natural killer cell has been put it in as well, I hope it can make some improvements. I am going to do my next cycle in the early of Oct and I am hopping for a miracle happen.
Great to hear from you Bestrong and glad your tummy is better and yay to getting your operation over. It all sounds really promising now for your next round. Wishing you all the luck in the world and hoping this will be your time for a BFP :) good luck with your cycle too. It's natural to be nervous but once you start your shots you'll be right :)

Hi ladies
Can I ask if any of you used any of these meds in ivf? They were prescribed prior to ET and told to stay on them for first few weeks of pg. My fs is on hols since my bfp so I haven't had a chance to ask him some questions about meds I'm on as I've read some of them are unsafe in pg.
I'm on
Clexane
Prednisone
Feldine
Aspirin
Oestrodial
Ralovera
Just wondering if any of you ladies have taken these after ivf and your experience?
Bunnyfeet I was on clexane my entire pregnancy with DD but have never had any of the others so can't help there. Have a clotting disorder hence the clexane. Your nurse should be able to advise though

If you would like to be added to The List or have your details amended, please just ask (and provide the applicable details).
Bunnyfeet, even if your FS is on holidays, is there someone manning the phone in his office? They should be able to contact him to ask on your behalf.
As Joe said, clexane is a blood thinner and can be prescribed throughout a pg to prevent clotting issues which may cause m/c.
Prednisone is a steroid and is also often prescribed in early pg to treat auto-immune issues which may cause m/c.
Feldene is a NSAID (ie non-steroidal anit-inflammatory drug). Personally, I would be asking about that one because I'm not clear about the reason for its use and what effects it might have.
Aspirin is also a blood thinner, but works differently to clexane. I took low dose aspirin (100mg) while pg with DD, until 36wks.
Oestrodial is just simply oestrogen, so quite safe. Similar to progesterone, some women need extra oestrogen while pg if they aren't producing enough.
Dr Google tells me that Ralovera is progesterone, so that's fine. Most IVF patients continue progesterone supplementation until 10-12wks (although some, like me, stop earlier - I stopped at 6wks).
The only one I don't know about is the Feldene. If it were me I'd call the office to find out if they can ask, but that's just because I'm not familiar with its use in early pg. My FS also prescribes it for the luteal phase of my IUIs, so I suspect it's probably fine; I'd just be checking because I'm a worrier...
Thanks so much Joe and Juniper as always you're a wealth of information thank you!
Of course because it's Saturday there's no one in FS rooms until Monday :rolleyes: yeah its the feldene I m worried about Juniper as it says its not safe in pg.
Bunnyfeet I'm so sorry I have no idea on any of them so I am no help to you at all but I really hope you find the information you need xxx
afm: I saw fs yesterday with the intention of getting an iui form for my period which will start the end of October but when I got in there and started
talking I asked for one for this month as well don't ask why it just popped out anyway she gave me the forms for this period as well as the end of October
one as well. My period was due on Monday but has just arrived at 2.50pm this afternoon, so my questions are do I count today as day 1 or tomorrow?
and What day do you usually start injections for iui cause I cant remember and I was supposed to pick up meds on Monday but will that be too late for
this af?
Bunnyfeet, do you have a good pharmacy nearby that you can call or visit? Just ask to speak to the pharmacist, explain that your Dr prescribed it for IVF and now that you're pg you can't contact your FS to ask about whether to continue. They won't usually openly disagree with a Dr's prescription, but they should be able to run you through any risks (for either stopping or continuing). You could also see if there's anyone left at your clinic's main reception at this hour on a Saturday (probably a long shot) and you may be able to get help that way?
Rai, I'd probably call tomorrow day 1 in this instance to make things simpler for the IUI. I usually start injects on day 2 (after baseline b/t and u/s), so if you call tomorrow day 1, then you can start day 2... That said, if you called today day 1, there's absolutely no harm in starting injects on day 3! What you call today will make absolutely no difference to how you respond to the meds, so it's really a personal preference. My FS office would call tomorrow day 1 because my FS requires you to wake up with AF for day 1. My last FS would also call tomorrow day 1 because his cut-off was 8am. My first FS would have called today day 1 because his cut-off was 4pm. Even the professionals have their own personal preferences (in spite of having no AFs themselves, since they were all men!)...
