5am!! I'd be hitting the snooze button on AF's sorry ass!!
Must admit, I got up at 5am today.. Maybe that's why I've run out of steam and just cant face my assignment. 8-[
Hmmm - I think I was on the Western Ring road last time. Ah yes, that's right - got to the Hume highway and stopped by at Chris & Maries (hello hello!!) plant farm to pick you up a punnet of pansies for $9.
Mooney Mooney - sounds rude!! hehehehehee
LOL. Western Ring Rd huh? And you're laughing at Mooney Mooney? Oh, piece of advice for you. You're not supposed to tell people the price of gifts you buy them. Hope they survive the trip, don't forget to water them.
Humphrey, don't think I have any symptoms. If anything sometimes I think I have sore BB but then I think they're just cold (Damm winter). And a bit tired but haven't slept much lately, going to bed late & DD waking me up early.
So actually in summary, don't think I have any at all, lol......Think I'm feeling pretty normal while cycling for once, in 10 months of starting this CRAP!!!!!!
Getting ready for it to be OVER now, getting sick of waiting.
Have you POAS today? Are you going to tomorrow? I am keeping away from shops so I'm not tempted to buy one, I haven't on any cycle yet because I ususally have Pregnyl support shots, but don't this time.
Take care all, Sue & Blue, maybe you could come visit us in WA when you've met up!! Anyone in SA?
Hi girls,
Just a quickie to let everyone know that AF finally arrived today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be starting clomid on day 3 and 300 gonal f on day 4.
Am so happy to be finally getting back on the rollercoaster.
Just had some acupuncture and am going to hit the sack.
Love to all of you
Ali xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Horay for you Ali, go for the ride of your life!!!!!!!!!!
Hi all
Just checkign in really cos I am living the boring life at the moment.
Day 3 of the pill for me tonight. have forgotten every night until the last possibly minute lol!!
I have ot get myself back into a routine again and even yesterday when I set my mobile alarm I turned the alarm of and promptly forgot to take the blasted thing again lol. and this is only day 3
have not yet gotten my schedule but I am sure it will come this week. I dont know what my new puregon dose will be. I ended on 450 and Kate mentioned starting at a higher dose this cycle so would that mean higher than the 200IU I started on or higher than the 450IU I finished on!!!
All so darn confuzzling
Ali~ yay for AF
hope everyone else is well
Cazz
Cazz I'm on day 3 of BCP too!! So we are cycle buddies!! I don't have my regimen(sp) yet and as this is my first IVF cycle I have no idea!!
Good Luck!!! Heres to BFPs for us both
:noaf: Hoping for :bfp: for those that are waiting. I have first BT for Natural FET tomorrow morning so see where I go from there tomorrow arvo
Dare I ask - whats with the pessaries? Should I be scared? I start them tomorrow!
The IUI went smoothly yesterday, but me being me, am now worrying about whether I have ovulated as scheduled. Was due to at about 1am, was sore from 10pm, woke at 330-530am and was in a fair amount of pain, but am still quite tender this morning. So no idea if this is after effect or if I haven't ovulated yet. Normally I have excrutiating pain (well I did on clomid) and if I have ovulated, this wasnt quite as bad pain wise which makes no sense!
Is it normal to be tender for this long after ovulating? Or could it be coming?! Dear oh dear! So confusing!
Thank goodness AF arrived for you Ali, so good you can move on.
Kell - I shall let you discover the joys of the the pessary yourself. A few words spring to mind - creamy, slimy, creamy - you get the drift.
Yay Shez, Ali and Cazz to starting on your cycles. The ride's just starting for you girls - hold on tight.
Tam - I admire your strength. I've POAS every second day since Friday and still not even the faintest line. But the fact that AF isn't here gives me hope that it's not over yet. Oh well, tomorrow I'll be out of my misery.
Keen - hope it's going well for you honey

Hi AJ - I remember you from TTC many months ago. It was too depressing there for me too seeing girls come and go in the blink of an eye. Most of us here are on IVF or IUI but we all have the same thing in common - to get the hell out of here as quickly as possible! Good luck with the Clomid and metformin and hope your stay here is nice a short.
I'm hoping to get some good news tomorrow with the BT from my FET due but don't want to get my hopes up. We all know what that's like.
Take care
hey humprey - yes it is a bit - wee had yet another graduate this morning - so yeah - we have two more rounds before IUI - i think thats what my specialist said so i guess i better get used to being here and find out whats its all about...
Hope that your bloods come back with the result that you want - good luck....
Hi AJ, I do remember you popping in before, good to see you (but not that it's in here, IYKWIM). Join our roller coaster rides
How many months have you been using the clomid?
Humphrey, does that mean you POAS today? I think I'm just scared of it being BFN. Only the BT is the right result. And as I had blast ET the wait doesn't really seem to be that long, I should be able to hang out that long!
2 days til testing, busy, busy to pass the time. Work is a gem for that. I think that's the only thing.
Take care
Yes I did Tam LOL - can't help myself. I'm not gutted when I see it's -ve though. I shall just continue my knicker checking all day......
Morning girls. AJ I too remember seeing you earlier in the year. Here's to us all being in the graduating class of 2005!!!
I can't wait til tomorrow to find out what exactly the go is!! :whistle:
Tam and Humphrey :crossfingers: for your BTs girls!!!!
Welcom Tj,
Humphrey- I still have everything crossed for you
Kelly- Good luck with the pessarys
Tam- I hope you can stay really busy and you get a BFP in two days time
Ali- Congrats on AF finally showing her ugly face
To every one else take care
Racheal

Details updated.
Hi girls.
I am a little freaked out.
My Sister in Law is doing her first down regulation cycle. She has been on the pill for weeks and weeks waiting for her dates etc.
Anyway she rang the nurse at MIVF yesterday and got her schedule.
I got my schedule in the mail today and you will never beleive it but my dates for starting the synarel spray, stopping the pill, my first scan, starting my injections and my follicle scan with Kate are EXACTLY the same as my SIL's!!!! I know things after that could differ but what if we end up with an OPU and a transfer on the dame day.
This will be all very well and good if they are both posative outcomes with healthy babies at the end but what happens if one of us stays pregnant and the other doesent????
Its freaking me out a little. I thought my SIL would be way ahead of me because she has been on the pill since before my last OPU and now we will be pretty much syncronised!!
Cazz
thanks for welcoming me Girls - i will try to stay just floating in the background - absorbing all your knowledge
Tam and humphrey - hang in there girls hope the test results work out...
Cazz - oh sweets i am so sorry i know how you must feel - it would be really hard on either one of you if one works and the other doesn't - lets just pray for a double miracle... [-o<
Cazz, I can see your spot there. It would be hard if one succeeds and the other doesn't. Freaky that it's happened that way with the dates.
Hoping a miracle for both of you.
Take care
Oh Cazz, that does put you in a bind............. All i can say is that I hope it's your cycle.
Ali xxxxxxxx
Hi all! Quick question. I'm starting IVF soon - hopefully Dec/Jan, and was wondering how long they put you on the pill for before starting treatment?
Cheers! :D
Deirdre
Hello lovely ladies
Just a quick note to say hello and that I hope everyone is well...
Had my 7DPO blood test this morning after my first IUI cycle so only have 6 days to go to find out if we'd had any luck this time around.
They just said "everything looks fine" so that really doesn't say much, eh?
Man, this has been probably the longest 7 days of my life!
Talk to you all soon
Amanda
Welcome AJ.
I wish you 3 L's while you are with us.....Learn, Laugh then L-e-a-v-e!!
Hi and good luck to everyone else.
Love
Sue :luck:
hey didge
i am currently on my first round of IVF and had to take Provera for 7 days. From day 19 onwards. good luck
firemansgirl
HELP!
I feel so teary this afternoon and this evening I just feel like having a good cry, yes this coming from the O so positive one. 5 days today past transfer and already feel like its yet another failure, sick of the pessaries, sick of hardly being able to do my pants up, half way through the day and I'm undoing my zipper at work just to breath, but loving the big boobs ( I know the huge stomach and the boob thing is only due to the progestrone). When can I test?????? My theory is transfer of 5 day blasts, 5 days post transfer, POAS day is close at least I'll know that it's a BFN
Hormonal Ann (yes I'm in a $hit of a mood)
Hi Ann, I seem to remember Sushee saying she was very very bloated the cycle she got her :bfp: ......
Sounds promising to me.
Can't help with the technical stuff, sorry. I know all about bawling though. Better out than in.
Love
Sue :luck:
Thanks SuzieQ,
This is my 3rd crack at this game, and I don't like it very much, not 1 cycle has been the same, all completely different. I am supposed to have my Beta next Monday, the nurse said to do a HPT on Sunday, But bloody hell, I'm inpatient and I can't wait that long
Ann
You're supposed to be impatient. It's a pre-requisite for TTC. Put the money for the dreaded stick toward a nice pair of booties instead.
Sush - date with DH was great! I was SO very spoilt and in fact we are planning on going again this coming weekend! I know, I know.... Im just so very lucky.
Ali - WooHOO!!! So glad to read that AF finally found you! Bring on the next cycle now...
Tam & Humphrey - EVERYTHING CROSSED!
Chele - Hope your first b/t went well
Ann - Sweetheart, its totally ok to be feeling like you are - and it really sucks that you do, though. I really really hope so very much for you that you are successful this cycle and am sending you an extra big pile of :pinkstick: :bluestick: to try and pass on some magic... My IVF nurse has told me not to POAS until 11 days post transfer, due to varying hormone levels, etc. Hold out if you can darlin - totally understand about the waiting, and its not that your impatient as such - its just that its absolute cr@p sometimes all this that we go through, we just want that day of happiness to arrive quicker. I'll do my best to make time fly by (im buidling a time machine, you know - not much success so far, but hey its getting there...... 8-[ ..... what the? I hear you all say!)
Cazz - that is SO freaky about you and SIL! Perhaps it is a good omen. Seems we sometimes have those in here.... there's just as much chance you'll both have big bellies at the end of it.... ( [-o< )
AJ - Hi there sweetheart. Hoping this clomid cycle does the trick for you.
Diedre - Hi there. Thought I would just say that not all IVF cycles require you to be on the pill, so it definitely depends on your regime, test results, etc. Best of luck with it, though!
Thanks to everyone for asking about my u/s and b/t. Happy to report that for the first time ever I walked out of the u/s with the news that all was very normal and nothing out of the ordinary! WooHoo! So, transfer is still going ahead on 27th Sept at this stage - now just need my little embies to pull through the thaw :crossfingers: .
Actually, just remembered what else happened - not entirely true of all things perfect at u/s. Has just been discovered that I have a bicornuate uterus (heart shaped). This may further explain losses I have had, and as a result I am considered a high risk, if successful this cycle. In my mind - hey, just one more small hurdle to get over, tis all.
Sounds positive Keen.
First time everything is "normal" plus....a heart-shaped uterus? I guess, if you have to have a uterus that's different, heart shaped is good? An omen I reckon. You have :hbeat: all over your av and signature....Although, how on earth do they get "heart" from "bicornuate"?
I've got a good feeling...
Love
Sue :luck:
I know... I wondered how they say its heart shaped but it sort of is, funnily enough. The two horn type bits are at the top and its not completely in two so looks a lot like a :heartbeat: . As for my lining and the way that my ovaries are fairly dormant - that is the normal part! Im really really hoping, and although I have never ever done this before (& dont want to) I just know I am pinning all my hopes on the success of this cycle...
A heart with horns - I rest my case. Hope that didn't offend anyone...
Yep Keen, this is the one for you. It's scary to get too hopeful but, I say give in to it this time.
Love
Sue :luck:
BT today results were very low so more needed on Sat morning. Lucky me as I will only be getting home at 3 am from work and have to be at REPROMED before 8:30 for BT. Oh how I love IVF. #-o Nurse thinks I am having a long cycle this month oh Lucky me hey just when you want a short one.
