T-hopes love the avatar super sexy ! glad you are getting some action in the pipeline seems you will be the next BFP on here with Mildez and saffy and porsche and matthews mum and of course Alice, wow still a few of us to get to that stage but you are all getting help now so looks good for everyone,
I had IUI 19yrs ago now we had 3 attempts with DHs sperm but by the time it was washed the little he had to start with was almost all gone after cleaning so we went on to have donor sperm and got a BFP 2nd try ! BUT since then DH has managed to have 7 kids of his own all natural conception and also 4 misscarriages so I guess you could say in the long run it was well worth it, Our son from donor is so much like his dad its amazing to think he is not genetically his, anyway I had to take clomid and have scans and then inseminated on the day before ovulation just a qucik straw with the sperm in put high inside the uterus and thats it. I don't know how they do it now a days but back then was painless and quick so FX you get a good result 1st try. When they used my DHs sperm he had to produce some in a pot and it was washed to take out any abnormal sperms and then the insemination was the same. ( But I do feel him having to produce it in a pot in a poxy little room well lets say it was not easy for him to relax and get a good amount ) anyway its not too bad when you get the end result thats the miracle bit !!!!
Mildez sorry your DH is being a pain MEN sometimes I wonder why we bother telling them anything in one ear and out the other ! hope you can agree to somthing soon but it seems a long trip to do in one day there and back ! don't let it get you too stressed you need to relax !!!!
AFM well will get my keys to my new house in the next 10 days so super excited to be having our own home again been 5 yrs since we had that feeling of our own home ! so busy packing and packing and well just getting on with moving this crowd of mine all the kids a bit mixed up about moving again but we will manage ( due to ovulate around the time of moving so maybe this will be my month )
Keep smiling I found a smile again after the disapointment of the weekend with AF turning up but as they say onwards and upwards !!!!! NOT GIVING UP THAT EASY !
Crafty, good on you, that's the spirit - you know perseverance pays off so keep at it and your BFP can't be far away now. How exciting to get the keys to your new house!! I hope the move goes well and the kids settle in quickly.
Sunbeam, hope you're resting up at your Mum & Dad's still and all is going well with you.
Mildez, these men can be a pain in the backside, can't they? I hope you don't have to come down and go back the same day - that's just too tiring and you need to take it easy and be as restful as you can. I hope you can get that sorted out. Once you get started things will probably fall into place for him a bit more - its all very abstract until you get things going then it makes more sense.
Porsche - good luck for tomorrow's scan - I hope you are responding super well and you can look forward to your egg pick up soon. Sounds like you have a really good chance with this cycle - fingers crossed it all goes your way.
T-hopes - oo look at your sexy avatar!! It's fun getting them, isn't it? That's great that you have a plan - so it's IUI in 2 cycles time? Is that right?? Well we can still hope for BFPs in the meantime, can't we? Your poor MIL - we had a friend who had tongue cancer but luckily they didn't have to remove it and I just remember how sick he was. Must be awful for her and very distressing for everyone in the family to see her go through that.
Ferrals, I hope this little embie is a good strong one - what an army of specialists you're going to have to deal with, that'd make anyone nervous. Sorry you are feeling bloated and sore - drink lots and lots of water - it'll help, as you probably already know and are doing! Are you feeling tired?
Saffy, glad the OCP isn't bothering you especially if you have to be on it for a few months. That's interesting that they do you all in a group - would make things much easier resource-wise I guess. Hope all stays well with you for the next stage.
Sorry to miss anyone - I know I have but I have to go to Sydney for my tax return so gotta run. All fine here - just waiting to start now. Feeling apprehensive about it all - what if it doesn't work? I so don't want to have to deal with the pain and grief of that all over again. I keep debating whether this will be our last go or not but maybe now isn't a time to make that sort of decision. In August it'll be 10 years since we started TTC and it's our Dec bub's EDD so big anniversaries coming up. Trying not to dwell on them but finding myself having moments when I feel really down and sad. Anyway, taking each day at a time and trying to stay hopeful.
Sorry for the lack of personals just thought I would update that we are now doing an antagonist cycle so will be starting as soon as AF arrives. Its a bit of a shock. Because we are under 30 the FS thought it was best to aim for fewer eggs as he feels I will be at high risk of over stimulation. OMG I start next week.
Alice - GBH to you. As you said just take one day at a time. I'm not looking forward to my EDD anniversary either and mines in November.
Thaks so much for the luck i'm really going to need it as I realised this morning I've F'd up my injections for the last 3 days! I've been injecting well nothing. I noticed the other day that it was really easy to give them to myself I didn't have to dislocate my thumb to push the top down and inject. I though oh wow it's getting easier as the vial gets used. It's been like that for 3 days.
Any way after doing my injection this morning by some chance i looked at the pen and saw that it had become unscrewed! So now I'm screwed! I'm guessing it's been like that for the past 3 freaking days! I can't believe how stupid I've been to not notice.
So out of the 5 days of jabbing I've only had 2 actual doses. 1 on day 1 and I know that worked because the nurse was instructing me and day 2 because I could feel the resistance in the dial when I injected.
I guess the FS will just up the dose tomorrow after my scan but now I'm concerned that if he does then I will definately over stim and have to cancel my cycle. So I'm guessing there will be no follicles there grrrrrr stupid stupid stupid!
Porsche-did you check how much was in the vial to make sure of the amount left and the amount that was suposed to be used and when i took mine i always make sure there is a tiny drop at the top before i jnject myself.
Mildez-good luck i found the antagonist cycle to be easy yes you get less eggs but when you have heaps of follicles like i did you can overstimm so they aim for around 8-12 then it is unlikely you will develope OHSS.
AFM- i am sssssssooooooooooooooooooooo tired am try to pop in and keep an eye on you all but not up to typing to much my eyelids are struggling.
OMG where have all my cycle buddies gone?!! Saffy, I need you!!
Mildez, that's very exciting that you can start so soon!! Fingers crossed all goes well for you!
Porsche you poor thing I've done something similar once before and was so scared I'd f'ed up the cycle but it still went ahead and we got a good (for us) result so don't worry just yet! They might just leave you on the same dose for a bit longer and scan you again Monday. Fingers crossed it all be OK. Let us know how you go tomorrow xx
Ferrals, tired is good but only if you can rest. Don't worry about persies - just nice to have you pop in and to get an update on how you're going. Hope you can put your feet up.
Ferrals & Alice thanks for the advise. We had an FS appointment this morning and I confessed my sins lol. He's upped my dose and we see him again on Tuseday. He said there was something happening in there. EPU still could be friday but he said Monday could be an option as well.
Ferrals - I can see the liquid in the vial but it didn't move so I def know that yesterdays injection didn't work. I'm going to be super careful when injecting now lol. Tired is a good sign make sure you get plenty of sleep.
Your poor MIL - we had a friend who had tongue cancer but luckily they didn't have to remove it and I just remember how sick he was. Must be awful for her and very distressing for everyone in the family to see her go through that.
