Alice- of course it's worth trying i hope you leave the appointment with some positive news.
I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS FERRALS!!!! :) That is GREAT NEWS!! Welcome to the 2ww! Hope it isnt too long for u. Thinking of u xxx
Hi Ladies
I'm impatient already lol Waiting for AF and it' only been 2 days since I stopped BCP lol.
Alice - Good luck today. It's worth a shot. I'm sure if he thought that that was all you were going to get then surely he would have said that and not implied? I think you have a shot.
:leap: unreal ferals, good work now you are well on your way:stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
:crossfingers::goodluck:ALICE-I'm sure you will get the support of your FS and you will be heading quickly towards your next cycle
Morning ladies,
DH and i talked last night and with a 30% chance of this embryo sticking (the scientist said because we have been pregnant before that increases our odds a little) we are going to ring our FS today and make an appt for just after the BT date just incase it doesnt work that way we can hopefully start another cycle with the following AF i don't want to get caught out with having to wait months to get into see her.
Hopefully we wont need to but i'd rather be prepared.
Alice-good luck today!
Porsche-you might have to do the whole going out wearing white pants and leaving the tampons at home to tempt fate.
Good Luck Ferrals. That's really good news about your transfer. I've got FX for both of us.
We're in the 2WW together. Here's hoping we get our BFP.
:crossfingers:
happybaby
Ferrals - so glad that your transfer went so well and you got urself an awesome emby now sending you heaps of sticky vibes!!
I might have to tempt fate lol:
:happyforyou: FERRALS like I said you only need 1 good embie and I guess they don't get better than a grade A so take it easy and rest up the TWW will soon be over and then you can celebrate in style here on BB,
Alice FX'd you get some good news and advice today remember what you told me ( Go in there and tell them what you want and be positive don't let them fob you off )
Will check back later to see how you went !
Mildez hope you can come to the same arrangement ( wow didn't even realize they ask that question )
as if you don't have enough to worry about ! FX you get your ivf on the way real soon and get a grade A like ferrals !
Porsche patience my dear your nearly there !
Reet I see you can test today so did you ?
afm well not really thinking much about the TWW as I guess I have already decided its a BFN so not even going to waste my energy thinking about it ! well ok maybe next week I may feel a bit different !!!!:rolleyes:
Hey ladies,
Ferrals - good on you for such a great transfer. You've got everything on your side so far. Now the wait........... At least you're being practical about getting an appointment for next cycle, but I reckon you won't need it. FX (I'm on the CC too - which clinic do you go to?, I'm at IVF Aust)
Crafty - looks like you're riding that TWW rollercoaster and are at the 'definitely not pregnant' part. All the hunches in the world can't predict the BT results tho - good luck :goodluck:
Porsche - how's the white outfit working out for you? Sounds stunning!
Alice - hope your appointment goes well. It's so funny how FSs look at things sometimes. Mine told me again the other day that my uterus is just too good because it lets embryos implant that probably shouldn't - and then I miscarry. I just wonder what world he is living in where the uterus of someone TTC for several years (in total) is too good :confused: Anyway, hope it goes well
Mildez - I'm going through IVFA - I've found them really good, but don't know any different
I had a BT today to see if my hcg has all gone - it won't have - and have a scan tomorrow to see what to do next. The nurses mentioned the free counselling at the clinic again today but I don't want to do it. Has anyone else used it and found it useful??? I really think I'm doing ok without it
I know I've missed so many people - saffy, happybaby, Iona hope you're all well:)
Happybaby-how far in to the tww are you?
Iona Macca-Thanks.
Porsche-Thats the way i see it if i get a BFN then i am all prepared to start another cycle at the end of August but if we are lucky and get a BFP i can always cancel the appt so yeh i hope i am tempting fate.
Crafty-I know what you mean i am feeling a bit the same i am already organising my next ivf cycle i don't want to get my hopes up.
Kaybee-I am at westmead IVF they have been awesome so far and really cheap so far i have spent about $2,000 including all medications u/s BT the lot and i will get $750 back in a few weeks so i think that is great compared to my $14,000+ that i forked out at SIVF.
We saw the counselor once because we had to at SIVF but i have found my own way to deal with the loss of Abbi so i think if you feel you are doing ok then that is good but they are handy if needed.
AFM-Made my FS appt for the 5th of August 3 days after BT date just to be safe so we can get straight back into it if need be but u hope we have to cancel only time will tell.
Speaking of time they are making me wait 3 weeks for a BT when a HPT will show up in 10 days as i am now 1dp3dt so that would be like 4 days past O i stop the crinone on the 25th which is in 12 days so if i am not pregnant AF should show up not long after that but if it were my natural cycle my AF would be due on the 20th which is in 7 days.
DH and i went out and brought 3 boxes of HPT i don't know when i will start testing i am to chicken.
Ferrals I'm day 4/5 past O. So might be just ahead of you. AF is due next Thursday 22nd. Lets hope she says away!
oh my god, we've had a thread explosion since my last visit - I have to catch up!
Ferrals, think the appointment is a good idea psychologically (and we all know what a mind game this whole IVF/TTC thing is) so that's good to have sorted. It's like the white pants/no tampon thing but in reverse - as sure as you make the other plans, you won't need them! Let's hope so anyway. Grow little embie, grow! Sticky vibes en masse to you x
Hello Crafty, come on, we have to stick together in this no giving up palava - you don't know if this month is a write off yet, let's just wait and see some more OK. How exciting about getting the keys to your new home!! How's the packing going?
MatthewsMum, Been thinking about your post where you said your doc thinks you are peri-menapausal (sp?) and just wondering why...you're only 40 after all. Have you tried using Clexane after the transfer? We used it last cycle and it helps with transplantation so maybe worth asking about?? Will you do any medicated transfers or are you sticking to the natural ones? I remember doing a few of each - I think the odds are pretty evenly split on the outcome of either so I guess no meds is good if you can help it. And thanks for asking after my friend, she seems to be making a good recovery - she is still in a lot of pain but resting up. Things will improve for her now I'm sure, she's put up with a lot for a long time so time to get back to her old self again.
HappyBaby, good luck with your TWW. Let's hope you and Ferrals kick start our BFP breakout. Fingers crossed!
Kaybee, that's certainly an odd thing to say to you, I mean seriously, what could you possibly do if that were the case? Weird. Hope you are doing OK, is the worst of the bleeding over now? I hope you get your sticky bub soon x
Sunbeam, how's the movie marathon going? Any recommendations? How's the ms? Did you find some ginger lollies? I lived off ginger for the whole 8 weeks I was pg - ginger tea, fresh ginger, ginger lollies and found peppermint good to. Thinking of you
Porsche, hope AF has shown her witchy face now. Onwards with the FSH - can I ask what dose you are going to be on?
Mildez, of course no one is going to die! But I do remember having different versions of that convo with my DH. And to think some dumb arsed idiot out there tonight is going to get drunk and end up UTD. What a weird parallel world we live in here!!
T-hopes, hope you had/are having fun on the Gold Coast and enjoying being on holidays. Yeah, the things we celebrate here - honestly if my chart is behaving, I feel so proud of myself and if it dips, I get terribly disappointed! Sad isn't it?!!
Well, saw the FS this afternoon and he thinks yes, definitely try again and that my pg in Dec was a promising turn of events after so many years trying so give it another shot. Pathology came back normal, no genetic abnormalities so on one hand that's good but on the other, why did we have a mc then? He said at my age 40% of all pg will mc for various reasons but hey, if we were scared of odds like that we'd never try so not worrying. We discussed doing short and long cycles and have decided on a long one (which is what I've always done in the past) so...we will begin in the middle of August!!! Yah!! AF arrived today (2 days earlier than usual which freaked me out - I've never had a 26 day cycle before and not sure what that is about given the huge improvements in every other respect this month on my chart) so when she comes to visit again in four weeks I'll start the OCP then off we go. I'm excited and glad things are finally moving. Also proud of myself for giving the diet a go and sticking to it and for DH quitting smoking and just feel that if it doesn't work we can look each other in the eyes and know we've done every possible thing to try to make it work. But hoping that it does again!
Hi Ladies
Alice - I'm not sure what he'll put me on but it will be 145 dosageas he knows I'm going to repond well to meds apparently. Just waiting for AF hopefully any day now
Just wishing myself a BIG :happybirthday: to ME!
:happybirthday: to you Porsche, hope you have a wonderful day!!
:happybirthday: porsche- have beautiful day!
Thanks ladies. I hope my next 32 years don't go so quuick!
happy b-day porsche
:birthday2:Happy Birthday Porsche :birthday2:- 32 years young! Sigh...if only!!
:hello: Iona - sorry I missed you yesterday. How are things with you?
:cry:I have googled to much on 3 day embryo TF and there not so good success rate 20-30% seems so low now i am convinced i don't have a hope in hell i should have pushed for a day 5 TF :wall:
Alice - I'm good thanks sweety, just waiting for either AF to show or not
Ferrals - oh google is evil, don't think about it too much sweety and let that lil emby snuggle in nice and tight
Ferrals! STOP IT - you are only going to make yourself miserable, no more internet for you! There's a lot of information on the net, and not all of it is useful and it's certainly not useful to you right now. Plenty of lovely healthy bubs have been born from day three embies - my darling niece is one of them and her mum is ten years older than you so please stop worrying. The TWW is bad enough without torturing yourself over things you can't control. Maybe you should do what Sunbeam is doing and go for a movie marathon instead - distract yourself. Promise - no more research! Make yourself a cake or something indulgent OK? Come on, you can do this - you need to be positive for your bean, it needs you to be resting and calm/happy as much as possible. xxxooo
Thanks Alice & Iona
I will put the computer away i am going to work tonight so that will distract me for a while.
How do we all do this without going insane?
:) you're not alone Ferrals - we all go insane with it, it's completely normal and much easier to tell someone else to stop than to do it ourselves! I'll be exactly the same in two months time and you'll be visiting from the bb forums to tell me exactly the same thing xo
Had to post quickly - Ferrals - stop the googling!!! Only 8 wks ago I stood in my office hugging a very distraught g/f of mine as they only managed to get her embies to day 3! She was a mess and she was certain that it wouldnt happen again for them..... She was very wrong!! She is know 10wks with twins!!! Dont torture yourself!!!!! Stranger things have happened!! Walk away fro the computer and read a trashy magazine!! Or Twilight!!! :) xx
Love to everyone else, sorry havent posted, back at work and flat out! Will try to catch up on everything else tonight and do persies tomoz!!! xx
Love T
OMG I have been trying to get on here for 3 days! Life is so busy!
Ferrals - Whoo :happyforyou: So glad you got a fantastic embie that is just awesome news. What's with all the crap about the odds, hello I'm pg with less than a million sperm what do you think the odds were for that? I'm sure it would have been well less than 20-30%!! Step away from the computer, or the bunny gets it!! Your bt is the same day as my next scan lets hope its great news for both of us.
Happy Birthday Porsche :dance:
Kaybee - I had a couple of sessions with the counsellor at my clinic and she was great. Glad you feel you are going okay.
Alice - So glad to hear that your FS appt. went really well. Sounds very promising that your cycle and chart are right on track too. With DH still not smoking you two really will be giving it the best shot possible, good on you both.
T Hopes - Hope you are enjoying yourself here on the Goldie, we've laid on some pretty nice days for you :D
To all those in the TWW :noaf::pink-babydust::bluedust:
AFM- My back is slowly getting better. Went to see the physio at the fertility clinic yesterday. She made me lie on my front, she could tell from my face I was in pain. She said where does it hurt and I said my BOOBS! :rofl: My back felt fine but lying on my mumma jugs killed!
Work is flat out because I am relocating offices on the weekend which is a huge and stressful task.
No more ms since sunday though I came close to throwing up in Wollies on monday night. I still find the ms very comforting when its there.
The weird dreams have started. Last night I was flying around the countryside with a coffee cup in my hand and was then having sex and it was so real I woke myself up convinced that someone was touching me! I also have pg brain and stopped at a green light this morning! I'm a lost cause:think:!
Hey Porsche - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Yay - Has AF come to wish you happy birthday yet?
Ferrals - ahhh, you make me feel better for all the over-thinking that I do. The reason that 3 day transfers have a lower success rate is just that they know less about each emby so some of the dodgier ones die - but not your perfect 'textbook' emby. It's a big healthy ball of cells by now looking for a nice spot to cuddle up for the next 8 1/2months.
AFM - saw FS today and he said I just have to keep having BTs until hcg is below 5. Last time it took 2 months!!!!!!!! Rrrraaaa
Hi Ladies
Kaybee - No Af hasn't gifted me with her presence as yet and I'm starting to get a little worried. I hope your levels go down quickly for you.
I'm starting to fret a little now. How long after stopping BCP should I get AF? It's day 4 after stopping and there is still NO sign that she is coming. Do I wait until Monday and see what happens?
This is crazy I'm now on CD55 and I just want to get started already. I haven't got many more shots of synarel left either. Not even 20 shots left.
oh porsche, I wish I knew how to help sending you heaps of these :hug: :hug: :hug:
Thanks Iona. I think I'll sit it out until Monday and see what happens. Then I'll be on the phone asking some questions. Just so tired of waiting around to get started.
Hi ladies,
Porsche-55 days oh my god! you poor bugger doesn't that sh#t you when you don't want AF to come it shows up and when you want it come the bloody thing stays away we cant win can we.
AFM- my boobs are sore i had a huge fight with DH over a stupid $95 front door mat and now i have period like cramping i hope it is my jelly bean snuggling in and not AF comming it would be due in 5 days if you go by my natural dates but being on crinone until the 25th i still have 10 days i just feel really emotional and anxious i am not going to do real good in this tww.
Oh Ferrals those signs sound so positive. I've got my fingers crossed for you!
And yes 56 days today lol. But...... I've had a temp dip this morning so I really hope AF will be here by Sunday! I can't wait to start getting a move on now. I feel like I'm still at the starting gate and I'm left behind while everybody else is having their EPU's and ET.
hi everyone,been thinking of you all...porshe-she has to come soon,have you spoke to your clinic about it...alice-dr said i was showing symptoms(hot flushes,mood swings,pimples & lengthening of my cycles)she said peri-menopause can last from 2 to sometimes 10 years,but she thinks i'll be sooner than later
Hi Matthews Mum
I'm going to wait and see what happens over the weekend and then first thing Monday morning I'll be on the phone either way. I'll either be making my CD6 appointment or I'll be asking a please explain and what the hell call. Very ticked off right now. DH has had to drive in to QFG to get me another bottle of synarel as I have 6 doses left.
If AF was a person she'd cop it!
Porsche - you poor thing. all we ever want is AF to not show then when you want her she's no where to be seen, silly cow!! I hope she gets her butt in gear and shows soon if not there will be meds to start her.
Ferrals - hope your little embie is making itself nice and cosy.
Hey ladies,
I've got one of those dilemmas that we're all faced with when going through this crap. I'm supposed to go to this thing on sat night with a group of friends but most of them are UTD so don't know if it's just going to make me pine for what could have been and have a crap night (and majorly depressed week). My bro and SIL are going and are due right when my previous pg would have been due and one couple have only just announced - I haven't even seen them since their news. I have a feeling another couple (whose house we're going to) might make an announcement too. So, it's not like I can just forget about it for the night - it will be the featured topic. Should I go and just get blind drunk and be happy for everyone or should I stay home and feel sorry for myself? What would you do?
Kaybee-that is a hard decision and only you can know what is best to do.
I myself try to avoid anything that i feel i wont cope with and if it will upset me i try and be polite and make an excuse not to go.
I know one day i will be ok with all the pregnant goings on around me just not yet and for me to be as happy and normal as i can be for my kids means i stay away from pregnant gatherings baby showers ect.
I hope you make the best decision for you.
AFM-I have had some period like cramping all arvo after DH and i DTD and i seem to be getting the hiccups every couple of hours it started yesterday everytime i have a drink or eat i get them and they last about half hour and then are gone.
I have 9 days until i stop the crinone but AF is due in 7 days and i don't feel any different.
porshe-how much synarel are you sniffing?..kaybee-if you don't feel up to it maybe you could make an excuse/or if they know about what has been happening could you just tell them ,your not up to it(or get dh to tell them),you need to do as little or as much as you personally feel up to,to protect your heart.I wouldn't trust myself to drink to much as a way of handling being there as i would probaly say or do something i might regret in the light of day...ferrals-hoping it's implantation cramping...
Hi Ladies
Kaybee I agree with the other's. You need to do what is best for you. I wouldn't go but that is because I'm in my dark place in infertility at the moment and I can't stand to hear about let alone be around pregnancy or babies.
Matthew's Mum - I'm on 3 doses a day. 1 in the morning and 2 at night.
porshe-how's your nose feeling,mine got a bit sore towards the end & i was on a smaller dose than you...afm-clinic rang,bt yesterday showed my levels are still really low,need to have another bt on monday,if levels haven't jumped much higher,their talking about cancelling transfer this cycle,maybe trying hormone replacement next cycle
