i thought i was doing well with my high protein/no sugar/gluten diet, it sounds like i will have to start exercising too to keep up with the joggers/swimmers & cross trainers?! im impressed.
minnie - is this your first ivf cycle? i reckon its a good sign that you are ready to start jabbing and its valentines day tomorrow...! goodluck.
sunbeam - what is it about pap smears/transfers etc. and the comments you get? i have also had the comment 'you have a long birth canal' during a pap. what am i supposed to say/do with that info? just do what you have to do and get out of there. its weird.
hi to everyone else.
afm - got my FS appt this wed. was thinking today how nice it has been to take a break from ivf for the past couple of months. just thinking of another FET has got me feeling a bit anxious already. if im honest, it probably has more to do with the fact that i was pregnant this time last year. i havent even been thinking about it, but was doing my tax today and printed off medicare statement of claims and there was so many bt's, procedures, appts etc. for last year. i guess now i am back in to the reality of ttc again. sorry for the ramble, it just gets hard to maintain positivity after repeated transfers, miscarriages and still no answer as to why. arghhh - listen to me. i havent even had my FS appt yet and im stressing. geez.
Minnie - yay yay yay!!! It's all starting. I hope your first jab goes well
Joeve - how's things? Any sign of O?
Sunbeam - x-trainer is going great. I'm consistently losing 1/2 a kilo a week, think I've lost about 7kg now I'm thinking of doing a loose version of the soup diet before IVF starts, have you tried that one?
Andie - so sorry you're starting to feel stressed I really hope your appointment Wed gives you some hope. Do you find the FET's difficult physically? I'm sure they always are emotionally.
AFM - nurses appointment tomorrow - apparently its 1 hour, sounds intense!! The FS himself called me today to tell me I'm not immune to chicken pox. Although he strongly recommended the vaccine and told me about the risks - I took Minnie's advice and kept it simple and just said I didn't want the vaccine - and it was ok! (Thanks Minnie )
Yay Minnie how exciting this month will be the one!
Sunbeam the juicing is ok! I am craving bread...bad!
Mich very exciting hope tomorrow is great for you x the list is great babe
Saffy I hope things are going along well for you chick I have every thing crossed!
Tasha hello chick x
Andie sorry you are feeling stressed.
Nothing much happening here, had a bit of EWCM today but nothing compared to usual hmmmmp. Not even getting a faint second line on opks so who knows what is happening! Anyway planning on jumping DH tonight! I am over thinking too much about it and didnt' even call for my BT results ummm marrrr how naughty am I... to my FS.
Minnie - Whoo for starting jabbing, you ticket to the IVF express! Good luck babe.
Mich - OMG 7 kilos you go girl! I wish my weight was going down like that. I know I need to start up the exercise again, I did mean to go for a walk today but forgot all about it till right now Good luck with your appt tomorrow and well done for handling the chicken pox situation so calmly
Andie - My thoughts exactly i just don't need a running commentary when someone is poking around in my ho-ho! They should just keep their thoughts to themselves. It is always nice to have a break from TTC but don't waste all that relaxation by starting to stress already.
Tasha - Good luck with your FS appt tomorrow I hope you get heaps of info. Just a tip, I write down all my questions before I go or invariably I forget to ask something.
AFM - I took my last Provera tonight but already started spotting today and have had cramps on and off all day please let this be a decent period. Spoke to a friend tonight and mentioned my missing lining issue and she suggested it might be caused by endo, I've done some reading and it sounds possible, I'll have to bring this up with FS when I see him next. Still juicing and loving it!
Joeve- We posted at the same time. Sorry I can't help with the bread cravings. Your eggie should be here soon so go for it tonight those swimmers will still be good in a few days time.
Sunbeam may you be blessed with heavy clotty AF rofl
Last night DH was not up for DTD I tried not to get cranky which I am sure some of you can relate to and I really tried not to force the issue as I know sometimes he feels like a bit of an on call sperm maker. He was watching tv and so I went to bed, and as I walked out of the loungeroom I kissed his cheek and said ok I won't force you to dtd with your wife even though she is popping these pills and making an effort. Guilt much?? Anyway the good boy that he is woke me at midnight and we took one for team clomid.... How romantic....
Happy Valentines Day everyone x
minnie- how did you go?
joeve- geez your dh is a winner! Hope he can, ahem, keep it up over the next few days!
mich- how did your appt go?
andie-I could wrie the exact same thing don't worry, it has to end eventually one way or the other x
tasha-goodl uck for appt today, have you got your police checks yet?
sunbeam- hope you're still 'going with the flow' lol
afm- no hope at all for this cycle so already planning my next, I need to ring the lab today to find out about my embie but have been putting it off....might do it now, then at least i know if I'm doing a stim or fet. If nothing else I look 6 months pregnant waddling around with my bloated stomach from the pregnyl, joy.
Saffy - When can you test? No good to the bloated belly. I have been told it is a side effect of FSH which I will be injecting soon. Still waiting for DH checks to come back.
Andie - it is so hard not to stress, I am a massive stress head! I won't say 'relax' or any of those other annoying words, just good luck with your appointment
Minnie - how did it all go?
Joeve - Haha, how sweet. Hopefully O will show today....any luck?
Mich - any news?
Sunbeam - Ugh, hope it isn't the case with the endo. It's my understanding that endo causes heavy painful AF? FX that you have a decent bleed. I also have a script, but mine is for primulout.
AFM: Well FS appointment was a bit disappointing. DH STILL hasn't been in to get bloods done. He has a ridiculous fear of needles so has backed out 3 times. I had already booked with FS and asked for the day off so I went ahead with the appointment. My FS is rather frustrating at times. I got a yeast infection last week, took monistat tablet and it cleared up. Then DH and I DTD once (first time in about 3 weeks) and it comes back!! So the FS says "maybe we should push it back another 3 months" Um, how bout NO! So he gave me a script for some horrid cream for 14 days So I am still booked in to see the nurses (who I met today) on 28th Feb and then I will start primolut to induce AF. It's already been almost 3 years, what's another month

: Posted same time as Saffy lol
Looks like we are all falling into a bit of a heap!
Minnie says hi she is MIA as her little boy was taken to hospital yesterday and has sepsis. He is doing okay and they are hoping he will be released this arvo. She did her first jab in the emergency room poor thing!
Tasha - I'm sorry your appt was not more positive. What a hard long cycle you have had already! I hope it goes smoother from now on in. Can they give DH some Valium to get him through the bt?
Saffy - I'm with you today. My cycle has only just started and feel like ditching the whole thing today
Joeve - I'm glad you got a nice romantic BD session in, not ! It doesn't matter the sperms won't mind at least they are on their way.
Ferrals - Thanks for checking in on me and congrats on the new pregnancy.
AFM - Well that's me today! Spotting started yesterday lunch time, I woke up to good blood and a nice large clot at 6am and I was very happy and excited, then by 10am its pretty much all over!!! I went in to see the nurse to get my meds and had a big chat to her about how concerned I am and how I don't think it should just be being dismissed as "things change with age"! She wrote lots of notes and said she will have a big chat with FS. I'm thinking that a lap and D&C next cycle (since I wanted to take that cycle off anyway) might be my best plan of attack as I don't really want to keep putting money into IUI cycles if there are underlying issues that have not been investigated that are either stopping me from conceiving or could risk me mc again. So cd1 today but won't know if I am going ahead yet till I hear from FS.
Sunbeam - I just wanted to sneak in and say dint let them dismiss your af conerns. I'm 25 (26 in acouple of weeks) and my cycles have slowly disappeared as yours have over the past two years. Turned out I had endo all over the place, not the worst the fs has seen but still shocked him as no other symptoms. I too wonder how a bfp is possible when ad is so light and short but it has improved since having lap and endo removed.
Anyway I will but out now just wanted to reassure age was not the only answer.
Fingers crossed for all you girls.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone
Wow - would the drama fairy stop visiting this thread and send in the baby fairy!!!
Minnie - lots of love to you and your little boy. I hope he's doing ok. I bet you're not even giving the jabbing a thought!
Joeve - nothing like a good (justified) guilt trip. I like your style Is anything happening on the OPK?
Saffy - no, that's not fair about your embie! We're all hoping you won't need another stim... but I can understand your sense of hopelessness about this cycle. The bloating making you look preg is just cruel too!!
Tasha - I can't believe your DH! You must have the patience of a saint! Sorry your FS appointment was so frustrating too - 3 months, no way! Can you just ignore that advice and start the IUI cycle when you get AF? In theory, once you're on IUI, you can stop dtd unprotected and the infection issue shouldn't be an issue??
Sunbeam - the lap and d&c might be worth it. Even if there is no endo, you'll know your starting with a good clean lining after the d&c. Also - mine ended up costing nothing!! Except $17 for pain meds. I was shocked... in a good way
Andie - good luck for tomorrow
Hi Keta - just a quick GOOD LUCK for testing tomorrow
AFM - I'm quite enjoying being on no drugs or hormones this month and am less frustrated with taking a cycle off than I thought (well, I'm saying this on day 7). My nurse's appointment was good today. Tho truthfully, I've learned so much about IVF from BB, it didn't cover much I didn't know! I have all my drugs and am ready to start on day 2 next cycle. So probably early March!
