Ok dumb question so I won't get AF then after my next one comes until after the stim cycle? So do you start the pill for 3weeks if the hormones are suppressed you start injecting/sniffing etc then have egg collection if everything goes text book? I thought you go on the pill, get AF then start injecting/sniffing etc. So got to go check out my IVF book.
Morning all
Glad everyone seems to be waiting to start either the pill or HRT feels like an ivf thread atm so I guess I have no input ! as I can't go down that road, anyone doing the natural just counting the days until Ovulation and old fashioned Bdancing ?
Hope you all go well and get your BFPs I think I may be the last one on this thread at this rate so guess I best get used to it,
AFM well AF left the building which is a blessing in one way but very worrying in another as she was only here 2 days this time so I wonder if this is the start of the slippery slope towards the big Menapause and my body has simply given up producing eggs !
Sorry for the downer but feel really fed up want to just get on with my life but feel I can't just give up on trying for my BFP !!!! what to do give me strength to get throug the next mnth !
Mildez - When I got to CD35 FS put me on BC. Purely because Af was no where to be seen. I had to take it for 16 days. Not the surgar pills though. On the 8th day of BC I started sniffing. The on the 16th day of BC I stopped and waited for AF. Mine took 7 days to come. All the while sniffing. So once AF came i had to see FS on CD6 and he did a scan and started me injecting purgeon and I'm still sniffing but I only do that once a day rather than twice a day..
Matthew's Mum - I really hope that this is the one for you!
craftymummy-i'm giving the old-fashioned why another go due to fet being cancelled(not that i'm thinking it will do any good unless we get some super sperm that can break through my tubal blockage,i find though i can't just miss a month),i've been doing a detox diet,maybe that will work wonders...mildez-hope you found your book,i had to go re-read parts of mine lots of times,sorry i probably confused you more...afm-have an oppurtunity to write matthew's story to sumit for possible publication in a book about loss,not sure if i should or not(don't know if i would be able to honour his memory well enough)
Sorry Mildez you're right - you wait for your next AF, go on the pill on day one, get a BCP AF then start the injections etc - MatthewsMum is right though every clinic does it differently so you'll confirm it all when you speak to them.
Crafty - hang in there - this TTC business is a waiting game at our age and patience will win out in the long run it's just hard to keep your chin up each month I know. I don't think you'll be the last one in here 'cause sadly we're not the only ones going through this awful thing and others will come. Try to give yourself some treats - either something yummy to eat or an hour to yourself in the bath or a curled up with a book. I know that's easy to say when you don't have kids but hoping you can find a window there for you to do something nice for yourself. x
MatthewsMum - I'm sure you could do Matthew's memory justice - you're his Mum after all and who could love him more than you? Maybe writing it down will help with your loss - I've heard that can help though I've never tried it. You've given a lot of yourself here in posting and it has helped and inspired others so imagine how much you could give through sharing your story in a book that can reach others? It's a beautiful opportunity if you feel up to it but in the end you know whether you can or not x
Ferrals - that's great you're off the progesterone support - with your healthy high levels I'm sure this bub is snuggling in good and tight.
Hi guys! haven't had much time lately to log on but have been reading, once my tax return goes through I will get my computer fixed and not have to use DH's which will be better.
Mildez just thought I would let you know they way they do it at my clinic, as it only operates on certain times as well and everyone has their EPU in the same week each month. I was like you when I started the pill and had no idea when I was starting sniffing, how long to take the pill etc but when I had my appt with the nurse it all became clear. I just have to keep taking the pill ( hormone tabs only) until its time to get in sync with everyone else and start the rest of the stuff, so I will basically skip my next AF by taking the next pills straight away. I don't start the nose spray for another 3 wks so will have been on the BCP for nearly 2 months, it has been ok though, my mood is so stable and I am really happy at the moment.
Hi everyone else, I haven't got time ot write anymore but hopefully will do more persies tomorrow when I am lounging around after night shift. I have to tell you all about this hideous prank call we got yesterday. p.s. alice I like your chicken ticker xx
Hi girls,
I am just sneaking in to say hi and i am keeping an eye on you all.
I am fine just really bloated still and retaining fluid maybe a slight case of OHSS my ovaries are still tender but otherwise good i have lots of appointments comming up with professors, geneticists and the fetal medicine unit over the next 7 weeks so it will be pretty nerve racking but i am just praying that mother nature has chosen a healthy one for us this time and we get through all this and can actually relax and look forward to bringing a baby home.
T-Hopes- love the avy you sexy thing and good to see your FS is making suggestions are you going to do an IUI?.
Crafty - Im sorry to hear that your feeling so blue, I wish there was something i could say to ease the frustration that your feeling, clutch on to the hand of your gorgeous DH and walk together... I hope it leads you to a BFP sooner than you think xx
Alice - Loving the chicky ticky!! CUTE! So happy to see things are coming together for you!!! YOur plan is coming in to play! Great feeling!!! All the very best! Thank you for asking after my MIL - she is doing very well considering she has had her tongue removed! Surprisingly, she is in good spirits! Its a big adjustment for all of us cause she can no longer talk so communicating is her writing on a mini-whiteboard! She is so swollen that she is unrecognisable, i almost fainted wen i saw her, devastating!! Anway, good luck fr the coming weeks and mths!!
Saffy & Porsche - happy pill poppin!! Who would have thought we would be excited about BCP!!!
matthewsmum - what a fabulous opportunity to write of your journey! I think its a wonderful way to honour him and help others that may be experiencing a loss. If the book had half the inspirational words you write in here, it will be a blessing for all!
Mildez - how are things going with you? What stage are you at now??
Sunbeam & Ferrals (and MurrayCod if your lurking!)- hope you and bubs are well and your feeling good!
Ferrals - hope your still walking after all that shaggin, you little horn bag you!!! Grrr tiger!
AFM - Well we saw our FS last night for my 8wk post op visit! He has recommended IUI or IVF. He feels IUI would be a good place to start with our circumstances. We agree. So I made the 1st call today and registered us! I feel fab that we have a PLAN!!! We obviously have lots of administrative stuff to do, police checks, and nurse/ counciling appts etc but the PLAN is to start in 2 cycles time! AF is due next week so in theory we will start in 5-6 weeks time! Feeling good about it! Have anyone of you had any experience with IUI?? He said I will be on puregon injections??!
Anyway, thats it for me! I hope I didnt miss anyone!!
T-Hopes I'm so glad you have a plan now. It's like a weight has been lifted isn't it? Such a relief. I'm now up to my 4th day of jabbing lol Having a scan on Friday to see how we are responding.
T-Hopes your avatar is super sexy lol I love it. And yee-haa to having a plan of action. Sounds like a number of us will be around the same stage. I am waiting on a phone call today to arrange a call with the FS (doing it all over the hpone because of where we live) then next monday I have another phone call with the nurse to go over the cycle in detail and for her to answer my 101 questions. And then its waiting for AF to start the pill. Maybe that will change we will have to see. DH is been a pain in the butt. He freaked out about having to go to Sydney twice (for EU and then transfer) he said he didn't know that was involved. Honestly I don't know what planet he has been living on with all these discussions. I don't know what to do. He just has no idea and doesn't seemt o retain anything he is told. Then he said we will go there and back in the day. Like thats possible. Its over 1000kms there and back well and truely and then the time for surgery etc. He is now making something already stressful even worse. Going to tell him to snap out of it or else I'll cancel as already I can't handle him complaining the amount he is. It sucks that its so far away as thats the issue. I suggested going on my own or with a friend for transfer but he wont have a bar of that either. Sorry vent done.
