hi everyone, kaybee-it is so hard at times,i think it is very natural for us to ask ourselves'how much more".Ithink that is when our hope for the future kicks in...saffy-sorry to hear your spotting,thanks for letting us know dory is ok...happybaby-what tablets will you be taking?..ferrals-yah,good news...alice-so pleased for you,that's a good % she has given you...sunbeam- your symptons point to bub being fine..afm-found out that xp(dd1 bio dad)who has not been a good father figure to her & his partner are looking into ivf.She is younger than me so has better chance than me,if she falls 1st go & he gets rewarded for being a bad father to the child he already has , & i don't have another baby when i've been the good mother figure, that is going to give me the pip.sorry for sounding nasty

Well Friday is going to be an auspicious day for us in the LTTC after MCL thread! Well have a successful egg pick up and a beautiful healthy bub scan to celebrate - yah!! Ferrals, Sunbeam, will be thinking of you both and sending you lots of love.
Saffy, glad you're feeling a bit brighter and you may not have realised it but you've brightened my day with news that you have a friend who did IVF for 10 years and has a baby. It can be done!! I'm sorry about AF but hope your IVF cycle goes like clockwork and we'll be celebrating together. Yes it's a relief to hear about Dory - I feel bad for worrying now
MatthewsMum I TOTALLY understand why you would be pipped off if that happened, especially when you know what a bad father he has been to your daughter. I hope this next FET cycle is a success, I really do.
I'm meant to be working but cooking yummy chicken soup a la Jamie Oliver - oh my god it's good, it's like you've never eaten chicken soup before! My x-SIL gave me the recipe from her new cook book and a friend of mine is going in for a hysterectomy tomorrow (she's only 34) so thought I'd make it for her and hope that it helps when she is up to eating again. Poor thing - she's got fibroids all through her uterus - one is the size of a baby's head! - and outside it - they are only leaving one ovary. She's going to be resting for a good while I would think. Why do we women have to go through so much?! Not fair!!
Yay Ferrals! That talking to must have done wonders lol. Good Luck!
Mum-to-be -
Matthew's Mum - What a crappy thing to hear and knowing what a dead beat your ex is. My ex is a dead beat as well!
Saffy - It may end up being a fabulous night! But I know what your saying. I don't want to go any where or see anyone at the moment. I dread all the questions. Boo to AF!
Sunbeam - I'm glad your back is better. Good luck for your scan!
Alice - Yay for your chart! That's one item off of the list yeah? Next is....
happybaby - Hope the BDing pays off!
Kaybee - I have no idea what you are going through. I really hope it works out for you.
Craftymummy9 - Keep up that BDing! You never know what the furture has in store.
I hope I got every one but If I missed you Hi!
AFM - Still sniffing away only on BCP untill Sunday and then we can hopefully get AF and start injections on CD6. I wish this week would hurry the heck up. I'm over the waiting alrerady. Is anyone else on Metformin? Is a side effect nausea? I feel like utter crap. I'm nauseaous most of the day. The only thing I can put it down to is the metformin as that's really the only new thing I'm on. The synarel is fine. Not having many side effects from that as yet but this nausea is killing me.
alice-sorry to hear about your friend,glad she has you to help her through this...porshe-when are you taking the metformin,i take mine just before bed & don't find the nausea too bad,i find it worse if i eat something naughty(like chocolate mud cake),or anything fried(like fish & chips)straight to the loo.
Alice - what an awful story about your friend. She's lucky to have someone like you around.
Porsche - I haven't had metformin before - what's it do? Have you asked your nurse (or google) if there's anything you can do to help with the nausea? (Thanks for the hug!!)
Matthew's mum - I love your nasty thoughts - totally understandable. You'll probably be the one making them jealous though. You're right about our future hopes too. I guess it's impossible to switch off our dreams
Saffy - sounds like Saturday night will be ok. I would have said 'no, don't go' - I can't deal with those type of nights during emotional times, but it sounds like you'll have an ally there - it could end up being a really good night.
Sunbeam - thanks for your support. I'm trying not to cling to those one in a million stories, but it's hard not too. Best best best of luck for Friday's scan
I've got to go - thanks again for all of your kind words - have a good night
Matthews Mum - That is a good idea. I might take my meds at night and see how we go. I usually take them all in the morning.
Kaybee - Metformin is primarily used for Diabetics. My Mum is on it for her diabetes. But in my case I have PCO and metformin has something to do with regulating my insulin levels. I'm not aware of having any problems there but I do beleive that most FS will make you take it anyway if you have PCO. I have 4 tablets of 500mg a day so that's 2000mg. I do beleive my FS will make me take it until birth when we get UTD.
Matt's Mum I'll be taking a HT tablet that is normally prescribed to menopausal women. I was hoping the FET would be drug free but my FS says the tablets are needed to grow a thick lining. I have to take Crinone as well after the transfer.
Alice A big hello to you because I forgot you in my last post. You're like a pillar of strength with all the support you offer to everyone of us and your friends. I'm going to look up the recipe for Jamie O's Chicken soup. I used one of his recipes the other night to cook Fish pie and it was so delicious. I really hope you get your baby soon.
Kaybe Reading your signature - are all your FETS from your first stim cycle in 2007? If so that's amazing.
My DH came to bed late last night and he was supposed to wake me up for But of course he didn't. So annoyed because today is O day but I managed to BD this morning. FX this one works this month.
Best of luck for tomorrow, I know it's a big day for some of us.
morning everyone-porshe-i've also heard of breaking the dose up through the day to help with side effects...happybaby-interresting about the ht tablets,my last transfer was a natural fet & bt indicated embryo didn't implant at all,same as fresh embryo after stim cycle.i have asked about my lining,told that bt indicated is was thick enough,but i've also been told i'm peri-menopausal,maybe there is a problem with my lining & it is just not getting picked up.I'm going to query it again
Happybaby- that scenario sounds familiar to me, I always get paranoid and think dh is avoiding BDing, its such a pain having to force yourself on them. I hope you catch the egg, sounds like your timing was good, all it takes is one but its annoying when you miss an oppurtunity, they only come around once a month for god's sake!! good luck xx
GOOD LUCK sunbeam and Ferals for tomorrow
Hello to- Alice, Porsche,Matthewsmum, Kaybee, crafty and mumtobe, hope today is great for you all xx
CD1 for me, woke up in a mess cos AF came overnight with NO pain! Never happened before must be the acupuncture. Also in a happy mood, starting the bcp, rang nurse to make my appt, even have enough $$ in the bank to pay for ivf, and I feel like now it is someone else's problem to get me pregnant!! That sounds silly i know but I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders.
Sorry Ive been missing in action! Im on holidays so busy fluttering around and spending time with my family! Were off to the Gold Coast tomorrow for 3 nights, we were suppose to leave yesterday but with everything happening with our parents health, we wanted to stay around a little longer! Anyway we still get 3 nights away so really looking forward to tomorrow!
Im a little behind but Good Luck to Ferrals and Sunbeam for tomorrow! Will be thinking of you both, Ill try and check in from DH iPhone to see how everything is!
Saffy - CD1 - May it be the freshest start to fabulous things! Glad your in good spirits! Im CD 5 and have shocked myself by how happy I have been this time round! Normally Im still rocking in the corner at this stage! Serious!!! Anyway good luck!
Welcome to the new girls - Im so sorry for the pain you are going thru, it is so devastating. No words can express the raw emotion and heartbreak that we have felt, I hope we can help you thru it. They are a great bunch of LTTTCAML 'ers!
Hi to all I have missed - Porsche, ALice, Crafty , Matthewsmum, Mildez.. eik I know IM missing a lot of you!! But G'day anyway!!!
And Sunbeam - Ive seen Eclipse 3 times so far!!! Love love love love it!! Cant get enough, DH promised we can see it again while we are away! Yipppeee!!! xx
AFM - AF has just about left the building, OMG - so heavy! I havent bled like that since I was 18! WOW! Dunno if its a good thing or not but no clots, great flow! Heavy to Med to light!!! How things should be i guess!! Ahh the things we get excited about huh??! Very sad! OOohh and my temps have been perfect too Alice!! Yahooooo! Makes me happy!!!
Anyway gotta fly, off to visit Dad in hospital and pack my bags for tomorrow!
Happybaby glad you got a BD hope it catches the egg and you get a BFP in just over a week or two.
porsche not watching Today what was on? Hope the pill popping is going good not long now.
T-hopes I hope you have a wonderful time away. Glad AF has left. Maybe there is something in the air with heavy AF. Mine is the same CD3 today yesterday OMG I wont go into details but it was like I was having a postpartum haemorrage but obviously without the baby. AF was supser early for me so definately wasn't a chemical pregnancy.
Saffy wish a miracle BFP came instead of AF but yeah for starting your cycle.
Well I had my appointment yesterday. He said at CD2 I could start BCP now for the month so I am ready to start the stim cycle with my next AF. But we were not expecting it and haven't arranged my roster wth work etc so we have decided if we were given that option not expecting to be we would wait until next cycle so thats what we are doing. He gave me the pill so we are all ready when next AF gets here in about 26-30days. Its going to be so weird on the pill again even if it is just for a month. I guess the 1month break will do us the wealth of good been able to BD only cause we want to and concentrating on my healthy living and not what my CM is doing. And I am going to try see a consellor and try accupuncture. I didn't think conselling (can't spell) would help but the Dr said I should at least try it due to my anxiety and I am having shocking dreams midwifery related about been pregnant and having all these obstetric emergencies happening to me and my baby. I don't know what it means and if its a sign but I wish they would go away. It never ends in me having a healthy baby.
Mildez they had a story on there about a woman who is chosing to have IVF done over in Thailand so she can chose the gender. She has 3 boys already conceived natrurally and now she wants a girl. Boiled my blood a bit. After all we go through. No wonder people frown on IVF it's people like that who make it a dirty word. I would kill to just get pregnant.
Still a bit sleepy and bleary eyed writing this ... had a loooong day yesterday, feel wrecked this morning.
Just wanted to wish Ferrals and Sunbeam the best of days today - thinking of you and looking foward to hearing about your scan Sunbeam and your EPU Ferrals. Hope all goes wonderfully well for you both xx
T-hopes, I'm sorry to read about your Dad being in hospital - did you say you are heading off on holidays?? (I'm doing this from memory, sorry). If so, have a great time love and I hope the little break gives you a good rest and relax ready for your big BFP that's coming soon
Mildez - sounds like we'll be cycle buddies - AF is due for me in a week, then I'll wait one more month, then onto the OCP for me too! I think the counseling is a good thing - i've had it on and off over the years and I always get something out of it and considering all that you face as a midwife while ttc surely it must help.
Porsche - hiss! I agree. Glad I didn't see that program - makes me mad!!
Saffy - I get what you're saying - sorta nice to have a whole team on the case IYKWIM! Good luck hun, hope this is it for you.
HappyBaby - thanks for your lovely comment (mm I know that fish pie recipe too and it's yum!). Glad you got some bding in for good measure - fingers crossed.
Porsche, Kaybee, MatthewsMum, Crafty, Sevie and all our other lovely ladies - hello to you. Sorry for quick persies this morning - half asleep.
Saw my friend after she came out of her op yesterday - she was in so much pain, it just brought tears to my eyes. I remember coming out of my surgery and thinking I had never felt pain like that in my life and her op was so much bigger than mine. I hope she got through the night OK and is feeling better today. Poor love - it's a tough thing to go through. Her mum was there and she was in tears holding my friend's hand. Not what you'd ever want to see your daughter go through. Anyway, once she gets through this things will improve enormously for her and she'll be well and able to get on with her life and who knows, if she decides she does want children hopefully a girlfriend in the future might be able to use one of her eggs (they left an ovary in so maybe that is still possible) and carry the baby. Fingers cossed.
Have a good day everyone - I'm going to zone out with the chooks and a cup of tea xx
Mildez-I think we will be around the same time cos although I have already started the bcp I have to take it for nearly 2 months, where I live they cycle everyone together and my EPU won't be until 6th Sept, frustrating but oh well hope it goes quick. Alice maybe you'll be around this time too. Try counselling, I did it for 6 months, and I am not a counselling type of person, but it was good. I often have dreams about delivering babies in extreme situations, not my own though thank god, its annoying because its stressful enough at work without having it in dreams as well!! It must be an outlet for our brains, but I'm sure its not a sign for you or a premonition xxx
Alice hope your friend gets lots of drugs to take her pain away! xx
Hi Ladies,
The scan went well. Everything is in the right place. I could not see hb although FS assured me it was there though he could not get a fix on it to measure it which has me a bit worried given that I'm 6w6d. Not really feeling all that convinced that its all okay as I've had no ms for 2 days and my boobs are not as sore. Spend part of yesterday crying and could not get to sleep last nigh due to stressing about it all. Next scan is 2nd Aug if things stay good till then. Going to try and chill out today, I.m sure all this stress is not good for bub.
Well i am back and i didn't get the results i had hoped for the EPU itself went fantastic i feel really great other than i have put on 2kg since yesterday from fluid overload and feel bloody full and fat.
It turns out that big lead follicle was a cyst which prevented all the right side follicles from getting big enough so out of 13 follicles none of the eggs were mature on the left side of the 8 big follicles they got 6 eggs which means we cannot have a day 5 TF as it is to risky trying to get them to day 5 blasty so we find out tomorrow how many fertilise and if we have a good day 3 embryo they will TF one on monday but the scientist did say it is a lower pregnancy rate because day 5 hatching blasts are stronger and more likely to stick than a day 3.
So i am not to happy at the moment we really needed to try and get to day 5 for the strongest embryo.
So now the nervous wait to see how many fertilise and if they are any good DH swimmers were graded B quality for motility which is good but we won't know morphology results for a while.
I will pop back in later i am feeling pretty meeehhhh! right now
Sunbeam I hope all is well with the bub and your August scan shows you a lovely healthy hb. I hope you are resting - take care, it is very understandable why you would be feeling low and fearing the worst but try to stay positive for the little one xx
Ferrals, sorry to hear about the cyst - at least that explains things and hopefully it will go soon. I'm surprised to read that they won't let you go to day 5 with only 6 eggs. I only ever get that many, and we always go to Day 5. Anyway, I hope the fertilisation goes well and you get the option but if not, a good strong day 3 embie can do just as well (that's how my niece was born!) so fingers crossed. Don't blame you for feeling meeh- that's IVF for you - full of ups and downs and unexpected turns. We all understand - hang in there and stay hopeful xx
Hi Ladies
But of course he didn't. So annoyed because today is O day but I managed to BD this morning. FX this one works this month.
GOOD LUCK sunbeam and Ferals for tomorrow
