T=hopes- do another test for gods sake! Sometimes bfp's don't show up until af's due date, you have a lot of promising signs, FX
Mildez and Alice- thanks guys, I would love it if we are all cycle buddies together, go September!!, we can do it, just need to be patient in the meantime.
Matthewsmum- hugs to you today, hope your next FET comes round quickly, you are such a strong woman xx
Ferals- whats happening with you? I hope everything is on track with the estrogen levels, if not- hugs to youxx
Porsche- how exciting about starting the sniffing! Are you on the BCP? Maybe that is what is causing the nausea, hope you feel better soon Are you sure it isn't morning sickness?
Sunbeam- hope you are feeling good, best of luck for the scan I can understand how nervewracking it must be building up to it, hope you can rest up and not work too much xx
-
Saffy - didnt test this morning and glad I didnt, found a teeny bit of spotting so AF should be here in a few days time, due Saturday I think! Ah well... back to the bedroom for us! 2 cycles away from getting serious about IVF....
xx
-
Just popping on quickly to say good luck Ferrals with your bloodtest today - fingers crossed the cycle can go ahead x
Hi to everyone else x
-
Hi Ladies
Saffy - I'm 99.99% sure it's not M/S. I am on the BCP but I've never had dramas with it before. The only new thing I'm on is Metformin/Diabex. I started with a 1 a day for 4 days and then 2 and then 3 etc... Instart 4 a day on Sunday.
Ferrals - FX for your BT!

Evening ladies,
Thanks for the well wishes it looks like it paid off i am absolutely gobsmacked at my u/s results today what i was praying to happen has come true the big ass lead follicle that was 18mm on day 2 has not changed at all it is still 18mm today thank f#ck!!!!! the nurse said i have HEAPS i mean HEAPS of follicles ( her words) she wouldnt tell me numbers but stopped counting at 20 which is more than they want i have 7 follicles over 15mm and around 10 -13 over 10mm so they are going to do another u/s on saturday to see if a few more catch up they are aiming for 8-12 follies to be over 18mm then they will trigger me hopefully saturday night otherwise with the amount of follicles i have it will push my estrogen to high i did ask her what my levels are and she said we don't worry about estrogen levels on orgalutran cycles as it is unlikely you will overstimulate so she said unless they are ridiculasly high they don't worry and i don't need to know :o.
So i guess less for me to worry about looks like EPU is monday or tuesday so that gives me another 4 days to get those follicles to grow a bit more.
I cant believe that big lead follie hasn't changed and it looks like it will always be there explaining my high E2 so all in all i am VERY HAPPY and now just hoping we do as good with quality and get some embryos my Doc is hoping for 8-10 eggs and after day five 3 blasties would be a good number to TF one and freeze 2.
I am secretly hoping for more i would love about 15 eggs i am a bit greedy but i need to do what is best for my body the less discomfort the better.
I will be back later i am off to have a bubble bath.

:happyforyou:That's great news Ferrals!! Woohooo!!!!! Go those little follies - hope you get LOTS of eggs - WELL DONE!!! :happyforyou:
-
Hi ladies,
Ferrals - I was going to come on the other day and say you just can't ever tell whats going to happen in this journey and see! things you could have never predicted :p I am so happy for you. Only a few sleeps till EPU :clap: I bet you'll get heaps, you are the follie queen, I will be crossing everything for you.
Mathew'smum - I'm so sorry AF showed up, it sucks every time.:hug:
Saffy - How's your fur baby after the hospital visit? Really hoping there is a BFP waiting for you this month.
THopes - are you sure the spotting is AF and not just a light bleed or implant bleeding?
Alice - thanks for the belly rubs and sticky vibes.
Porsche and THopes - I have the snuffles with you. Been taking it easy hoping it will go away.
AFM - I've only had one other morning of MS. I have been sleeping sooooo much. Yesterday I woke up at 6am after a good nights sleep, by 8am I was asleep again and slept till midday!! I have hardly worked all week and I'm not going in tomorrow either. It is hard to do any work as I am so preoccupied and tired. I am trying so hard to be positive about the scan but it is still freaking me out. However zen I try to be I still find it hard to imagine this pg lasting given my history.
-
Thanks girls.
Sunbeam- i wish i could get eggs out of all my follies i have so many of them but my E2 makes them trigger me a bit early so the smaller ones just don't have the extra day or 2 to catch up last cycle i had 24 follicles and got 8 eggs the FS wanted me to go an extra 2 days but my E2 just wouldnt allow it i think it was murrycod who went an extra few days because her clinic was closed over the weekend and that gave her eggs extra time to grow and she got 27 but i will be happy with 8-10 and waste the other 10-15 eggs if it means i don't get sick.
And tiredness is a killer isn't it i remember 1 o'clock in the morning sitting at my desk at work nearly in tears because i was soooooooooooo tired from being pregnant when once apon a time i was bouncing around at work until 4am with no problem it will pass after a few months.
But glad to here this little bub is doing what it is supose to do.
Alice-thanks it was nice to see all the little bouncey faces made me feel good.
-
Ferals- sooo happy it is working out for you! I cannot believe in a few days time you will be having an EPU- how exciting!! your BFP could be just round the corner...
Sunbeam- I have a good feeling about your tiredness, strong symptoms! Nothing I can say to help the stress over the scan but we are all here for you xx My furbaby is feeling very sorry for himself , he has 2 drain tubes in which are draining crap all over the house but oh well. He has to get them taken out today but I think he pulled one out himself last night, both of my furbabies are locked in the house all day and night because of this and are driving me mad trying to get outside!
T-Hopes- are you still spotting? Hope it was implantation xx

AFm - Still have teeny bit of brownish CM but its not coming out by itself, only noticed when I was checking my cervix... Had I not been doing that I never would have seen it but in saying that...

Anyway Im 14dpo today so hopefully she flows in soon, nothing worse that late AF when your not UTD!!! I wanna get this new cycle kickin! Ditched my Chinese doc and off to see Natropath tomorrow!
Have a gorgeous w/end everyone! Those in Melbourne- stay warm!!! My gorgeous DH has lit the fire everynight! Soooo soothing! xx

Hello everyone
Been watching everyones journey all week even though I have not posted I still keep an eye on you all !
Ferrals well done looks like its a big fat GO for you well done girl FX a BFP is around the corner,
Matthewsmum so sorry its a BFN and AF arrived but onwards and upwards girl you still have frozen embies don't you ? give it another go 3rd time lucky I say !!!
Alice not long for you to wait now for your IVF hope you go as well as ferrals,
Mildez thinking of you and hoping your IVF journey is a very short one !
T-hopes stop poking around and let nature do her job could be your cervix is tightening up with your BFP !
saffy hope your kitty is better today,
SUNBEAM yay for tiredness and the sickness may get much worse around wk 8 to 10 the tiredness is good I have always been so tired when in my 1st trimester and sickness does peak around wk 10 normally easing off around week 14 so not much longer ( I found ms comforting in a sad way as I never was very sick when I mc but thats not to say people who have no sickness mc thats just me and my body )
AFM well AF gone off to visit someone else and getting lots of cm so hoping this is a good month for me DH has a plan to make sure we get Bdancing every 3rd day from day 12 to 20 he is so determined to get this right one more time he refused to listen to statistics, like he said we were told never get a BF naturally back in 1991 well he proved them wrong so he is determined to do it one more time !!!
Trying really hard to stay positive but in the back of my mind I think my days are over but will still try until April 20011
-
Woohoo Ferrals such wonderful news. Hope they get lots of mature eggs on EPU next week.
Crafty yeah for some positivity just what I needed to read after spending half the morning bawling my eyes out. Tested this morning and BFN which I expected but was hoping to be wrong. Then a friend was complaining about her pregnancy which just stinks. And then I had to listen about everyone elses pregnancies. And now in a few hours I have to go to work and look at everyones bump or new babies. Just not a good day. Plus I have this left sided pain that wont go away. Its always there and I just wish they could tell me why. I can't help but think its related to my infertility and tubal damage. But no they just tell me to come back when I am 30 and nothing is wrong. If nothing is wrong why am I not pregnant? Knowing my luck they will say oh you need a hysterectomy as its something nasty that again they failed to pick up. Just so miserable at the moment and going to work soon doesn't help when I am feeling like this. Hope I get over it soon as my appointment is next week and I dont want to be a blabbering mess. I'd change and go see someone is Sydney but there is a 3month wait. It will be Christmas time by the time I am having my first appointment.
-
Mildez so sorry you got a BFN I know how hard it is seeing 1 line but know you are not alone we all know how hard it is in this journey ! Last week I felt the same as you as though my world was at an end and I could see no good in anything ! but you know what a week later I am a different person, I feel the hormones and the big disapointment play a big part in the depression that comes with knowing AF is on her way ! I do also beleive we can try too hard and I am guilty of that and I need to step back a bit and let nature do her job, But on the plus side you are still young you have a good chance of getting lots of embies in your IVF as ferrals is about to do so try to stay postive look at it as the next step along the way !
When your at work try to think positve when seeing and holding these tiny newborns ! pray to yourself inside that this will be me next year !!!! I know its hard month after month but try to put the negative thoughts at the back of your mind ( easier said than done I know ) maybe I should take my own advice ! lol :comfort:
Will be thinking of you today and I pray you feel better and more positve in a few days !!! ( I sure did )

morning everyone ,mildez-big hugs to you...craftymummy-glad to read your positivity through your posts once again,i have 4 embies left,next round of bt's start late next week...t-hopes-still got fingers crossed for you...ferrals-good luck with u/s,did you see catherine chan or odette(works from her rooms)...saffy-how are you?...sunbeam-all your symptoms are positive...alice-how's your day going?..porshe-metformin gives me tummy trouble at times...afm-thanks ladies for all your kind words,af has practically left the building,results came back with showing less than 2 (hcg)like last time,so they think neither of the embies made it to implantation,i asked if it could have something to do with my lining as i o late,they don't think so as bt indicated lining should of been okay asked also about possibility of blocked tubes leaking,told me my pelvic u/s -dye test didn't indicate that,so they are still putting down to embryo quality
-
Crafty-good to see you are still around i have faith in you and i don't believe for one minute you only have a 1% chance i think statisticly most 45 year olds would be 1% but not one that has had 9 children and has proven that they can still get pregnant you just need to catch a good egg that is all.
We all know of women or know someone who knows someone that has had a baby at 45 so don't you dare give up just yet i have an old friend who is remarried and have been ttc for the last few years she is 49 and going down the donor egg route i personaly think this is a bit old when she will be 50 soon but her doctor just got a 51 year old pregnant with twins that are due soon they were donor eggs.
My friend i think is nuts because they were going to use her DH adult daughters eggs until i mentioned her DH would be having a baby with his daughter so grandaughter/daughter inbreeding thing was just not right not to mention the possible genetic problems concieving a baby with father daughter DNA they did not even think about that they just assumed eggs are eggs so i think she is going to ask her own daugther to be an egg donor that way the eggs and sperm are different DNA.
Just thought i would mention that to make you feel better.
Mathewsmum-hope the next embies are better quality because it is ashame to have so many eggs and then embryos but then be unable to use them because of quality.
Mildez-sorry it was a BFN i think we are all in need of some change of luck in here.
I hope your appointment gives you some answers and the green light to get the IVF ball rolling.
T-Hopes-i hope it is implatation spotting that would be great but if not then AF better turn up soon so you can get BDing again.
AFM-just trying to relax and enjoy the weekend really hopeing for quality over quantity but quantity would be nice also and hopeing to see an improvement in DH's swimmer morpology i am soooooooooooooo excited but terrified of being disapointed at the same time.

Hi everyone,
Been a bit busy and also a bit quiet but reading along.
Ferrals, had to laugh at Sunbeam calling you the Queen of Follies! Hope there are some great eggs in there waiting for Monday. So excited for you!! Hope you are our next BFP we need another one in here after MurrayCod.
Saffy - hope your furbaby is healing up...I remember my cat having one of those tubes in...so disgusting but works fast - sorry about the goop all over your house - eek!!
T-hopes, I can't help but feel a bit positive reading your posts...could it maybe be a BFP? I hope so, though know you don't want to get your hopes up. You've piqued my interest with that tri-phase chart. Must check out Fertility Friend and have a go with my temps. I don't think yours would be that high from a cold but maybe it can be....
Crafty, lovely Crafty, I feel so much for you but also agree with Ferrals - I really don't think you are out by a long shot - it might just take a while to get that good egg. I love your DH - he is so positive and you are so strong facing all this sadness but keeping your chin up and hoping, I'm crossing everything that you get your lucky month soon.
MatthewsMum - I'm with Crafty and hoping it's the third time lucky for you this next transfer - there's gotta be a good one there (or two) I hope they pick it quick!
Mildez - :hug: I'm so sorry you are having a rough time and if you think something is wrong then you keep looking for an answer, you hear me? NEVER let them fob you off - you know when your body is doing something that isn't right so if it means seeing another doc or going somewhere different for a scan, then please do it. I say this from bitter experience - I was going back and going back and asking questions for such a long time and it was only when my regular doc was away and someone I'd never seen examined me that things started to get sorted out. Sadly by then all the damage was done and I can never fall pg naturally because of that. It doesn't matter how old you are - a second opinion or even a third will put your mind at rest. I'm wondering whether you have a cyst - if you have persistent pain that won't go away after a cycle then that could be a cyst. They can be simple to fix too and hopefully then your way will be clear TTC. I really hope you can get your IVF started soon - being younger will be a big advantage and IVF will help speed things up as you only have about 6 chances every year to fall pg on your own with one tube and given that most couples with no problems only have a 20% chance each cycle, then it is going to take twice as long for you with that tube missing. I'm sorry you have to deal with so much pg while you feel like this - the only positive I can think of is that holding newborns and being around them apparently can make other women more fertile so maybe something positive can come from it. Hope I haven't raved on too much or said anything to upset you x
Sunbeam - sleep is good! I hope you can get as much as you need, your body is busy and it needs to focus on dividing all those cells so rest up as much as you can.
Sorry Sevie, HappyBabby, Porsche, Trea and anyone else I've missed today. Hugs to you all.
AFM well hanging around here like a sad sack waiting for something to happen LOL I should stop thinking about everything in cycles, hard to do when temping and watching every single rise and fall on a thermometer! Have visitors this weekend so that'll be nice. Well my EDD is approaching and it is weighing me down...would have been 7 months pg now and wonder if I'll ever get to know what that is like. Hope so. Have a lovely weekend all x

ferrals-did you have to go for another u/s today?..alice-it will happen for you,hope it's sooner than later
