Saffy don't think that I truly know too many people in their 40s who have been blessed with beautiful healthy babies. Hope your scan went well today I had my second one this morning as well.
thanks joeve, scan didn't go well, lots of small follies, only 3 within cooee of making it to the right size, so egg pick up pushed out to next Friday in the hope they grow- maybe I won't even make it to transfer. Obviously this has confirmed my doubts about my egg making ability, feeling very flat.
Hope your scan went good, have they given you a date for egg pick up yet??
grow little follies grow. Next Friday gives them lots of time to get going. How many do you normally get?
They don't know maybe wed or fri next week has been thrown around will know on Monday.
Normally get good sizes and would be going to epu in a few days, my cycles last year I got 9 and 10 eggs but my cycle this year only 4 so its getting worse as I go.
Oh well, hopefully we can have epu on the same day!!! Good luck xx
Saffy - Thanks for asking after me. That sucks about your few follies but it is quality over quantity. Have you had your AMH checked? I am with you though I wave day to day between having 0-1% hope of IVF working for me and really don't know why I'm bothering. I am seeing FS on wednesday and I am going to ask him what he really thinks my chances are. I am not doing IVF till August both donor daddy and I needed a break and I really want to shift at least 10kg before i do it as I have read more and more about the affect of being overweight not just on concieving but implantation and miscarriage too. It's hard to motivate myself to diet and exersize when I have so little hope so I try to tell myself I'm just doing it cos I don't want to be fat anymore. 2kg down so far.
Tilygirl - Apart form the fact the lady did not know what happened it must have been nice to talk about Lucy openly.
Joeve - Sorry Hun I am a bit lost where you are up to?
Andie - I'm sorry your cycle is messing you around I don't think diet will affect it unless you are having really low calories. Mine has been off this month too I was due to O the week before easter but I'm fairly sure it did not happen till Easter saturday so about 10 days late (cd25) this is not unusual for me though I have had 45 day cycles before now but only when I did not O at all. I hope yours gets its act in gear soon.
AFM - Well just focussing on my diet and exersize which has meant a loss of 2kg (in 3 weeks so not exactly dropping off!) but my back is also heaps better for it. I have also ventured back on to the internet dating scene and have a date on monday night, I'll let you know how it goes
Had a lovely lunch with Donor daddy and his partner over Easter, he really is such a lovely guy.
saffy - hi! have to say i agree with sunbeam, quality not quantity (although i get that you expected & would like just a few more!). i have posted this before, but with my last stim i was told only 4 eggs to collect & that the smaller ones werent worth counting bc they wouldnt catch up. i ended up with 11, so sometimes they can jump into action - i hope thats whats happens for you. xx
joeve - goodluck with your bt & scan monday, you will have an exciting week with your first EPU & transfer... wishing you the best of luck. (and i have been reading your blog!)
sunbeam - well done on the 2kgs - 2kgs in 3 weeks sounds good to me?! i will have to watch my calories i think, i may not be having enough with this high protein/low carb diet. nice to hear you & DD are getting on well and goodluck with your date monday.
hi to anyone else reading!
afm - naturopath appt today, just trucking along with herb tonic & now fish oil (liquid form - ewww!), and also some extra b vitamins. hoping to get cycle length down & regulate hormones (arent we all?!!). hope you all have a lovely weekend. xx
Andie nice to hear about the fishoil ewwwww..... but yay to the natropath! Re the blog= I wish I had of taken a pre jabbing belly shot, I am truely not that round normally
I did but its not fat so I was let down lol. Its probably about the same as mine hun and you have dozens more follies heehee.
After my weight loss I was so excited to have a flat tummy for once and it lasted all of a few weeks before the bloat set in again, spewing. Good news about missing the lunch too -
Wow my eyes are too old to see that blog link, can only just find it.
Andie- good luck with downing all the natropath goodies!
Sunbeam- yay I missed you too! I am hanging to hear about your date!! Good luck
Andie - Any AF signs? I can feel mine approaching but not expecting anything till at least the weekend.
AFM - Well sorry to report that the date was pretty much disasterous, we pretty much got into a fight (verbal not a punch up ) so I don't think we will be catching up again and it has made me wonder why I bothered getting back into the dating scene, its exausting. I'm not giving up yet, I'll give it a few months but lets hope I have better luck than last night.
Saffy- do you have another dildo cam coming up soon to see how your follies have progressed? I have my fingers crossed for you.
Andie- how are you coping with the tonic and oil??
Sunbeam- yes, you are right. It was nice to talk about Lucy. I think about her everyday but very rarely get to talk about her. On the other hand, I am yet to have a discussion about Lucy with someone I don't know. I still don't know what I would say... I went to a photography course on the weekend and three of the women were pregnant and those who weren't had kids plus one was a midwife and they spent much of the day talking about babies, labour, cervixes.... it was torcherous. A) just listenening to their happy natterings about childbirth and B) because I was terrified someone would ask me if I had children. I guess each situation is so different, I will just deal with each one as it comes.
Hope everyone else is well and had a nice Easter break!
AFM- CD26 and I have already started the POAS game although I have very little confidence in this cycle due to camping, unknown O time and limited DTD. BFN this morning using a fertility2family test. Does anyone use these tests? They are 10iu/ml or something but I am not sure if they are as good as the FRER. But thought I may as well give them a go just to cure my POAS addiction, will save my FR's for CD30ish if I can hold out that long...
Sunbeam- I can't believe that! Don't let it put you off, I met DH through internet dating, just a numbers game, and its nice to go on dates and meet people ( well usually, not if you are having a barney, save that for when you are a couple ).
Tilygirl- thats such a shame, I'm sorry that happened to you, you would have thought you would be safe at a photography course. Goodluck with poas, I don't know that, joeve might lol she is an addict.
Joeve- hopefully tomorrow is the last one ( dildo cam) and you can move onto administering crinone or progesterone pessaries to yourself in the vjay-jay (just pray you are on the pessaries not the crinone)
No follie check for me as I am going ahead with it no matter what, I can't do another cycle after this cos i'm going away in June for my birthday and I had kind of decided I don't want to do any more cycles, so this is it!! I've done 2 medicated fets and 2 stims in a row ( with being on the pill between cycles) and my brain and body are just over it. Been on night shift and just woke up, days off now- woohoo!!
sunbeam - how disappointing for you.. i as looking fwd to hearing about your date, but sounds like you can release that one back in to the pond. better luck next time. to answer your question, yeah - think af should be coming soon, im on cd 38, so hopefully by the weekend it will be here. we might end up being in sync.
saffy - the naturopath stuff is going down ok, except for the fish oil. it coats your lips after your swallow it. gross. i really hope your epu gives your some great embryos, it can be hard to keep the motivation up after repeated stims, but i am hoping for a better than expected result for you. xx
tilygirl - sorry your course was a bit rough with all the baby/preg. talk. im not sure whats worse, the baby talk or that fear of waiting for them to turn to you and grill you about having children. you really are a poas addict, testing at cd 26 - im impressed with your dedication! i havent used the fertility2family ones, but best of luck.
joeve - doesnt matter how many of those dildo cams i have, just cant seem to not clench... doesnt help at all of course.
afm - not much to report, got a bit of a headcold atm, so just hanging on the couch today. ive only managed my tonic & b vitamins today... no fish oil. im telling myself its bc im a bit sick, but really im just using it as an excuse bc its gross.
