Hi Girls,
Minnie, Mich, Joeve sorry for all the BFNs. I was hoping for good news for our thread in the New Year. :shakehead:
Tasha - Any sign of your eggie yet?
Hi Saffy I hope you are having a lovely time away.
AFM - I'm having a nice time with mum and dad. I have a scan with FS tomorrow hopefully O on friday so insem wed and thurs, and so it starts again!!! It's like "groundhog year" instead of groundhog day!!!! I'm sure it won't last but I am beginning to feel quite zen about the fact that I may never have a baby (even typing that would have reduced me to tears in the past). It feels a bit like getting to the end of a cycle, even if its a BFN the fact that it is over is a relief. :dunno:
-
Hi ladies :)
Joeve, Mitch and Minnie - So sorry for the BFN :( Better luck for the first cycles of the new year I hope.
Sunbeam - I know exactly what you mean about 'groundhog year' :lol:
AFM: Same same, Still waiting. Next weekend will be CD 30 for me so hopefully I will ovulate! I just bought my usual elevit, but this time I bought DH some menevit. Honestly I'll try anything ATM :)
-
Ooh, so hopefully by next weekend we'll be cheering you both on in the 2ww Sunbeam and Tasha :wiggle:
Sunbeam, I really admire that you're in a good place about this year of ttc and although you desperately want it to happen, are accepting of whatever the outcome will be. You're an inspiration!!! :lol:
I know if I don't get the child/ren we long for, I'll have to find a way to be at peace with that... but at this stage, it still hurts to even write it. There's a line in that song "So Hard" by the Dixie Chicks (you probably all know it?) that always gets me. "Could you be happy, if life wasn't how we pictured it?" I think my answer to that is just a big question mark at this stage...
Sorry, my posts keep taking a dark turn this weekend :doh: I'll give myself a kick up the butt and be more positive and upbeat next week :p
-
hi girls,
sunbeam: good luck with the specialist today, i hope the scan goes well & you get some answers about your light af
mich: did you test again ? i think with ltttc we all have to ask ourselves deep dark questions
joeve: i hope the clomid is going ok
afm: negative test again today, so now im left pondering what to do, my lap is meant to be at the end of march, so my choices are to try again this next cycle and hope we get lucky & can avoid the lap or to take a break and give it a good go after the lap, i wish i knew which the right way to go was
-
Minnie sorry another bfn :( a break from it all is good but then again it's hard to switch off from it.
-
Yep, I got another BFN this morning :( Blood test tomorrow to confirm.
Minnie - do you think taking a break or ttc in the cycles before March will make the time easier/ quicker for you? Are you able to relax during the cycles you're not ttc? I took a couple of cycles off before my lap and d&c last year but that was because I was spotting lots and had no choice. I tend to feel better if I'm doing something/ anything! But everyone's different so see how you feel and do whatever's best for you. :hug:
-
Hi Lovelies,
Mich - Sorry its still a BFN are you going straight into another IUI? Maybe it'll be lucky number 3. :crossfingers:
Minnie - I think a break is always a nice idea so long as you can just chill and enjoy it and not be thinking about TTC the whole time.
AFM - Mum and dad left today we had a nice time together. Saw FS this morning lots of updates. My scan showed O is a bit of a way off yet, maybe friday or saturday so I'll start OPKs on wed. My AMH was 20 which means I have a good number of eggies left which is good news and my other hormones were all looking good too. He has given me a request for prog. bt next wed to see what it's doing in case the pesseries are not working to up my prog enough and I might need to do prog injections instead, this might be the cause of my reduced AF. He also gave me a script for DHEA to help with egg quality, he said studies so far have shown improved eggs but not a significant increase in babies, I said this is my last year so I'll try anything. Donor Daddy and I are also booked in for Wed morning at the clinic to get things sorted to do IUI next cycle if need be. Feel I got my money's worth this morning !!!:lol:
-
mich: sorry about the bfn, i hope the blood test shows otherwise tomorrow
sunbeam: good to have a plan, sounds like you definitely got your money's worth. its always good when you walk away from those appointments happy with what happened !
afm: yeah not sure what i will do, i'll find it hard to not try when i know im ovulating so i guess i will take it as it comes
-
Mich :(
Sunbeam I love the sound of your fs! Mine is wham bam thankful mam and I am still not preg lol
Minnie maybe just play it how it goes see how you feel. AF isn't here yet is she?
-
Sunbeam- that's fantastic news that your test results were so great :happydance: It's really good that they're addressing all your concerns and trying some new things. I hope doing something slightly different gives you a new lease of energy for this cycle! :goodluck:
Minnie - do you have to decide what you are doing by day 2 to take the clomid, or can you wait longer?
Joeve - My FS sounds like yours! I hope your brand new cycle is treating you kindly. What day do you usually ovulate?
AFM - Yep, I plan to go straight into another IUI next cycle. If it's not a winner, I have an appt with the FS in early Feb to discuss what to do next. I'm assuming it will be the IVF road? Are there any other roads to try? I think I'm keen to move onto IVF. Partially because I know they monitor you a lot more closely. So it would either confirm that my eggs, lining etc are ok or find more problems we don't know about that we need to be treating!
-
Hi girls, I'm back and reading but not much time to post ( nothing happening anyway as am on the pill) sorry to see the bfns, was hoping for a nice surprise when i came back, will try and get to persies later in the week but thinking of everyone! ( although i will say 4 days away from thinking of anything ivf/ttc related is a beautiful thing, I felt like a normal person lol)
-
Saffy - 4 days off sounds great! Did you go away? Holidays are a mental health necessity for the LTTTC crowd. In fact, I definitely think Medicare should cover them :lol:
My blood test was a BFN. I'm glad to stop the prog (splitting progesterone headache today) and start a new cycle in 2 days.
-
joeve: af is only due today and she will come in the next 3 days
mich: sorry it was a bfn for you too, fingers crossed for the next cycle, i guess ivf probably is the next step for you
saffy: good to hear you are off enjoying yourself and relaxing
afm: i am having a difficult day today, this cycle was so hard for me, i always said i wouldn't do IVF but now im seriously considering it, i just want these horrible last 2 years to be over and im now wondering if IVF might give us the best chance of that happening. for those of you who have done IVF how did/do you find it, is it as scary as i think, or does it feel like you are doing something not just sitting back waiting ?
-
hi everyone sorry the new year has started out pretty sucky,been thinking of you all,just been in a not so good head space once again....minnie-i found ivf first time round gave me hope & made me feel like i was doing more,i had a lot more positivity at the start of my journey with ivf,now i'm just scared to go again,scared of the outcome,but saying that it has helped so many women .i've decided going down the donor road is not for us,so looks like it's up to one of my three frozen embies .
-
Hi Matthew'sMum :hello: Nice to "meet" you. Sorry you've been having a hard time.
Sunbeam and Tasha - I hope ovulation is around the corner for you guys! How's it looking?
Minnie - did you have your BT yesterday? Sorry I can't answer your IVF questions (yet!) but has your FS suggested IVF at all?
AFM - AF is here today, yay!! I find this the most relaxing time of the month these days! :rofl:
-
hello everyone
Mich- enjoy AF while she's here, hopefully you won't see her again for a loooong time :D
Matthewsmum- :hug: sorry things aren't going well, hoping that your 3 embies are the answer to your prayers xxx
Minnie-:hug: to you too, I think IVF won't be as scary as you think, it definately feels better to put your problems in someone elses hands lol if you know what i mean. But as you can see from me, it doesn't always mean a quick answer unfortunately. its not scary at all, just the bfns and the costs are scary.
Sunbeam- I loved hearing your FS coming up with so many plans etc- what a great appointment. Glad it went ok with your parents, they can be stressful at times. Did you get IUI sorted?
Joeve- how things with you hun?
Tasha- have you ovulated yet? My DH takes menevit, but not regularly,only if I hand it to him lol. Men are pretty hopeless at such things.
AFM- went and picked up my meds today, now its real. Still got about 11 more days of pretending I am a normal person, then the jabbing starts. Daunted by the cost as well. Hopefully this is my last stim cycle :pray:. Anyway, I have some days off now, so will be down at the beach again for 5 days- woohoo!!! :dance: Although my ipod just died, not happy about that, can't do a 1 hour drive without my music....
-
hi all, mich -hope af is playing nice...saffy-hope you enjoy your time at the beach & are able to get a new ipod...afm-due to test on sunday,not holding out much hope though,being a natural cycle,& only managing dtd once at 'o'.
-
Hi everyone :) Gotta run out so I'll be quick...
Sunbeam - Great results at your FS appointment :)
Mitch - sorry about the bfn :(
Minnie - I never considered IVF, but have been contemplating it also if IUI doesn't work. I am more scared of the costs involved, we just can't afford it.
Hi to everyone else, hope you're all doing well.
AFM: No sign of ovulation for me, CD31 today. Almost out of OPK's too. Stupid body :(
