Humphrey, just popped in to see if you POAS today. Spill the beans. At least if it is BFN you know why.
Sue, we won't speak numbers :-$ Big Happy Birthday
Take care, I'm off for a Lingerie party, can't think of a better way to get my mind of the TWW. Retail therapy with a bunch of girls. Yahhh
Hi all
Big Happy Birthday to SuziQ....... I too love the name change!!! I hope you are having a super day!!!
I am on Primolut and was told AF would arrive in 3 days..........that was Monday. Rang nurses on fri and they told me a different story that it arrives a couple of days after stopping the primolut. I stopped yesterday so here's hoping she arrives tomorrow. I'm going absolutely stir crazy here.
Hope everyone else is doing well.
Love to everyone
Ali xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks for all the birthday wishes girls
Am expecting the massage/facial lady any minute - la-de-daaaaa.
So, I'll chat to you all later if I'm awake.
Oh, well.... Humphrey??????? By the way, I had a weird dream last night. Got an email from Mr. B. (Bear??) Humphrey telling me not to talk to his wife as he was trying to get her to spend more time at his feet???? Hmmmm.
Love
Sue
Okay - I wasn't gonna fess up, but I can't not tell you girls - of course I did! And yes it was nothin! Still don't care though. Too early....blah, blah, blah.....
Had a crappy day today - a big fight with DH. Over his family of course (it's never anything else). It was the first time we have ever fought in front of DS too, so I'm feeling pretty bad about it. He's probably walking home from the train station ATM (a verrrry long walk) as he's too stubborn to call me to ask me to pick him up. I won't bore you with the details but this was the only day we have off together for 6 weeks and he's off helping his family. He just can't say no to them. I wonder who will apologise first?????
Hi Keen - hope you are well, we miss you! :smt039
PS Sue - that dream - what the????
Oh sorry for missing your birthday Sue!!
Happy happy birthday!!
much love
Cazz
Oh dear Humphrey. Not gunna comment on POAS (except I think I just did).
That's a bummer about the fight. I always found we fought more when on IVF. So much pressure, anticipation, hope, fear of hope, worry, waiting - and most of the time not even realising it. Might be easier to apologise first - you're only going to stew over it anyway!!! Sometimes it's easier not to dig your heels in, particularly when on IVF. He can make up for your lost day together another time - in a big way!!!PS That dream. Couldn't believe it when I woke up. Now I'm thinking it was prophetic in some way. Still trying to figure it out.
Everything will blow over - you'll see
Love
Sue:luck:
Just quickly, Ali, I always had to wait a day or two after stopping primolut for AF.
Off to work soon, just wanted to say my temps dropped big time today - so much so I didn't even test! I'm already feeling the first few AF cramps. Oh well, knew it couldn't be this easy - bring on the jabs next month!
Humphrey - :hug: Hope it was just cold in your house this morning!?!
I still have my fingers crossed for you pet.
Take it easy
Humphrey, I hope it was just cold too, or that you did it wrong. It's too early to write this cycle off yet I'm sure. How are you actually feeling though. I hope there is a glimmer of hope in there still.
Ali, don't you just hate when you get messed around like that. Hoping AF is visiting soon. It's just a total pain in the ar$e you've had to wait sooooooooo long.
Take care all, enjoy a nice Sunday. I have a nephew's birthday party so more things to take my mind of the TWW. And yes, the retail therapy worked well yesterday, as always.....
HCG shot done, only stung slightly more than the puregon. Now how long til I ovulate? And do progesterone pessaries delay AF?
just a real quick one before connection drops out again....
Kelly - yep, progesterone is likely to delay AF (but not always, as didnt in my case)...
Humphrey - that POAS doesnt count anyways, plus its been cold lately, right?....hang in there sweetie.... hope AF stays right away for you... [-o<
Sue - glad to hear you enjoyed all the spoils of a birthday!
Ali - Cant believe how evil AF is being to you this cycle.... I tell you, if I saw her in the street Id be smacking her about for you, and then dragging her sorry ar$e over to your place!
Tam - hope you stocked up on lots of nice frillies and sexies from the lingerie party!
Blue - hope you enjoyed the party.... got to love fairy bread and pass the parcel (theu're my favourite!)
Well I have blood and u/s tomorrow, so hopefully everything will be forming nicely.... at least no fear of seeing a zillion follies this time around - phew!
DH is taking me on a date this evening, which should be just loverly! I know, Im very lucky.... and spoilt too (But hey - Im worth it ;) )
Hi everyone, I hope your all doing really well.
Shez, I'm sorry to hear no luck this month. I hope IVF will be a short yet rewarding journey for you!!! I know what you mean about looking forward to IVF because it takes away some of the uncertainty. Im at that point now where I just want to get stuck into it but in saying that I hope this last IUI works!
Keen, good luck with the U/S tomorrow and I hope you have a good date tonight! Everyone deserves a little tlc every now and then!
I was hoping you guys would be able to give me some advise as this is my last IUI before IVF. I currently don't receive any support in the tww and I know that lots of others do with pessaries and further injections. Why do you receive the support? I questioned my doctor once about it and he said it was done about 15 years ago because it was trendy and the only time he would look at that for me was if i had an unusual luteal phase. That doesn't make any sense to me because so many people I know have pregnyl injections and or use pessaries in that two weeks. Just hoping someone can tell me why and what you used exactly. I have my day 10 scan on Tuesday and really want it to be my last one! Anyway I have made this whole thing all about me which my dh reckons I do in every situation but I am hoping someone can give me a hand!
Gillian,
I am really not sure why I was prescribed the pessaries - in my paperwork, it says pregnyl boosters are standard. I only mentioned very briefly in my first appointment that I have a short-ish LP (10 days) so I think its just standard in my clinic. I do intend to ask why one over the other out of curiosity though, so I will let you know.
My Doc says he uses the pessaries because they just can't help themselves by interfering a little bit???? :-s So sorry - I was given no medical reason either.
BTW - AF never arrived, I guess I'm still in the game, she's due tomorrow now.
Trish - thankyou, I miss you honey! I hope you are looking after yourself and slowly healing your beautiful heart. It's good to see you are lurking in the background and keeping an eye on us. :flower:
Keen As
Good luck with US tomorrow hope all is ready and rearing to go for transfer. :smt023
Humphrey
Hoping for the :bfp:
- that you want :noaf:
Shez, was thinking about you over the weekend - sorry to hear it's not your month, but fingers crossed for IVF.
Gillian, I'm on my first IUI cycle and in the TWW - I have had one pregnyl injection at 4dpo and another one is scheduled for 7dpo - the nurses say it's to aid implantation...
Hope everyone is well...
Gillian,
my doctor never prescribed pessries for any of my FETs. When I asked the nurse about it, she also said that my Dr believed there was no need becuase I had had children before and had a normal LP.
He would prescribe them for IVF cycles though, but then was all 'I told you so' when the pessaries caused my progesterone levels to skyrocket once I acually fell pg.
I gather that they always check your P4 levels when they do a BT, and in your case, it may well be that he believes that natural is best. Had I listened to my Dr, perhaps the first two weeks of my pg I wouldn't have been so bloated and breathless and uncomfortable, but like you, I probably would have been freaking as to why I wasn't being given LP support.
Unfortunately this is one of the things where you either take your doctor's advice, or get second opinion.
love
sushee
Hope everyone doesn't have the Monday blues. I have the perfect job work 2 days on the weekend, have 5 days off. Only problem is - I have no life..... #-o
Can I just ask all the lovely preggie ladies who post here why they take their tickers off their post? This is just my opinion - and others are free to disagree - but I find it interesting to see how far along everyone is. I don't think it's rubbing our noses in it, in fact I think it gives me hope and inspiration. After all, this is why we are here, why not celebrate everyone's small victories?
Okay, I'll just stick my head in the sand again. But first off to the loo for my 20th knicker check of the day. :D
Here here humphrey i think it is very inspiring to see all the preggie tickers it gives me something to look forward to!!
Rach
Gillian thanks for the well wishes. I used pessaries in my last two TWW I think my progesterone levels tend to be on the low side and thats why the Dr used them. Good luck with this cycle [-o< it is the one for you!!
Kelly I asked the same question in my TWW about the pessaries delaying AF and general concensus was yes but in my case AF was right on time so I don't think they neccessarily do.
Humphrey I agree about the tickers. I lurk in the PG after LTTTC forum to see where they are all up to!! It is very inspirational!!
:hbeat: & :luck: to all
Here Here too humphrey!!!!!
humphrey,
I guess it's been that way for a long time that no one generally posts pg tickers in this thread. I guess it's coz a lot of us have cycled together, and it's tough for someone who didn't fall pg/lost a pg to watch someone who would have been due at the same time as them ticking away at the bottom of the post.
I'm not saying that everyone sees it that way, but I guess it's better for just one person to not be upset by a pg ticker than 10 people who really don't mind one way or the other.
That's my understanding of it, anyway.
love
sushee
Gotta say I agree with Sushee's last paragraph on this one.
Yes, I am always happy for the pg ladies and do take heart that it 'can' happen, sometimes I go into to PG after LT TTC too. So good that they've moved on in the journey to motherhood.
But, if you've been trying for a very long time, have had a lot of disappointment, are feeling that it will never happen for you or have only just had that disappointment it can be very upsetting. Not so much rubbing noses in it. Just another reminder.
Yep, Day 1 for me today!!!
Love
Sue
Sushee & Sue, it is true what you say. I think I had a breakthrough with DH last night telling him/explaining to him that you do get a bad feeling sometimes when you hear of pg/birth but it is never a negative thought for the person but a deep down inside feeling of loss that it isn't you. I had a moment yesterday wondering how I would be facing family members where one is pg & one has a newborn. In the end there wasn't a problem but somethimes the thought is there.
On the pessary query, I have used them on a few of my cycles when my levels weren't quite right, I have a BT to check levels after O & after ET. this time defineatly on my HRT FET. And will continue if I get the 'go ahead'
On all other cycles I have had Pregnyl support shots also, feels a bit strange but good that I haven't had to on this cycle. the support shots are standard for my clinic.
Well I am just living out my days until my test on Thursday, it's actually a work day so am considering not finding out until after work.
Also, can someone tell me when you can do a PM, Trish, thanks for the support message but can't PM back, :smt102
Take care, beautiful day here in Perth & I'm about to go & lay down to have a pessary..... great,,,,,,, NOT!!!
Tam- I do understand how you feel my cousin just had a baby and i am dreading going to see her on Wednesday. But i do know when i go to see her and hold that little baby it will give me the power to keep on going.
Sue and Sushee- I also understand where you are both coming from so Sushee i wil have to start sticking my head in the pg after long term ttc thread a little more often to see how you and the other girls are going.
Take Care
Racheal
*Tam*, you need to be a Platinum member to PM. Hope you enjoy your pessary.....hmmm......and people think I need to get out more.
Love
Sue
Mmmm pessaries!!!!! But won't complain if I get my BFP & have to continue. Though, sometimes I wish I wasn't so intimate with my body.
Humphrey, that knicker checking isn't a sign of giving up is it?
Not giving up till the fat witch sings! The knicker checking is partly due to those oogy pessaries tricking me into thinking it's over and partly because the cramps are getting worse. Only 2 more sleeps till I know for sure.
Must be time for another knicker check......
ooooowwww humphrey fingers crossed for you and any one else coming up to test and i hear ya on those icky pessaries and the knicker checking ](*,)
Good on ya humphrey for not giving up! I remember giving up two days before my beta and gorging on salmon sashimi, which I of course now regret! :eat:
Posting a special little man for you and Tam
:noaf:
love
sushee
:noaf:
Yep, I'm picketing too ladies. Don't worry, AF is well and truly entrenched at my place. I'm feeling refreshed after my massage so will beat her up if she tries to escape.
Sushee, excuse my ignorance....what is sashimi? Don't get out much.
Love
Sue
Sue,
it's raw fish, a delicacy to which I am unfortunately addicted, as it's on the top of the no-no list for listeria. I did a HPT on the morning of the day we went to the Japanese restaurant, got a -ve, and though f**k it, I'll eat what I want!
I obsessed about that meal for weeks after that!
:noaf:
love
sushee
Keen
Hope your date with DH was lovely, and you were spoilt rotten as you deserve to be.
Also was hoping you got good news at the BT and scan today, and are getting nice and ripe for the FET!
love
sushee
Humphrey, glad you haven't given up, you just hold out your hand to pull me through a day after you, can't believe the test is coming soooo close. But yes agree about the oogy pessaries, I'm very clean from all the extra showers.
Thanks for the picket line :noaf: and Sue, yes thanks, keep the witch tied down.
Keen hope your first tests went fine, I still can't believe how good it's been on FET, glad I did end up with a few embies so if the worst happens I can do more FETs.
Sushee, I think I'm still eating what I'm not supposed to to fill up on things before I can't anymore, not sure now if I'm suposed to....
Tam - have you got any symptoms?
:noaf:
Tam & Humphrey - good luck girls!! I have everything crossed for you! (Yes, and rubbing puppy feet like mad..)
Keen - hope all went well with your appt today!
Hope you're all doing ok. Sorry about the short post - I really should be doing an assignment (yet another one! Finally finished the first one today!)
Take care
love
BlueSky
Yes, Keen, hope you're going ok.
Hey Blue. AF arrived today (early and at 5am), so I only walked 3km to Mooney Mooney (yes, there really is a town by that name). Heart wasn't in it today. 436km to go...
Love
Sue
