Sunbeam- so so sorry to hear this has happened I have no idea how anyone can get through what you have, but know we are here for you when you need xxxx
Porsche-hopefully things will pick up by your next scan, but as everyone says you only need one great one! I'm excited for you that your EPU is so soon
Porsche - Less eggs doesn't mean less quality. Some women get loads of eggs and none make it to day 3 so don't let that deter you. Most of my cycles are around that number and we always have had at least five by day 3 all grade 1 and two by day 5 grade 1-2. I hope the ones you are hatching are all nice plump healthy little eggs by next Monday and that you'll be our next BFP.
Ferrals - I'd love to say 'I told you so' but identical twins!! Wow!!! So thrilled for you - I'd be gobsmacked too! Looks like after all your pain and suffering you'll get double the joy in return - isn't that just the best! My mum always says 'good things come to those who wait' . So to everyone in here keep heart - when you think it is never going to happen for you, your luck can turn. Hold onto that hope! (and remind me in six weeks time will you)
Alice-that is the quote i have beside my avatar i have always believed that i do hope there is one in there though because with such a good HCG level it just has to mean a healthy bub well thats what i am telling myself anyway.
I looked up beta levels and mine are on the high side for a single pregnancy and on the average side for twins so it is really a 50/50 it was just the way the nurse said it i was like WTF! i dreamt this a week ago.
Not long for you to start the dreaded BCP i hope it all goes quick from here for you and before you know it you will be in the tww.
Thanks for the pep talk lol. I know less may = more I guess I won't know until EPU. After all FS's talk of over stim I guess it's an anti climax lol. I was expecting at least 10 or 12?? I was also hoping to have some to freeze as well. And you are all right it only takes 1.
Sunbeam I am so sorry honey this has happened to you again I know nothing I can say will make you feel any better but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers ! I am here for you and will pray you recover quickly please take care and don't blame yourself I definately beleive you need to go and get your NK cells cheked ! Take care we are all feeling this for you be brave ! you have always been there for me and I will be here for you !
Ferrals seems I got my dreams mixed up ( I dreamn't it was murray that had twins) lol seems it might be you how awsome is that you lucky girl and don't fret I know you will but have faith take care !
Murraycod so nice to see your name again and know you have not forgotten us ! keep well my friend and look after your self !
T-hopes hope your feeling better now AF is about gone its so disapointing isn't it I know exactly how you feel but on the bright side on to another cycle and soon IUI !
Alice hope your ok !
porsche wow 6 is better than 1 and I did say 1/2 a doz so I guess I was right you only need 1 good one as I told ferrals ( and they can split too !!! )
afm well all packed up and waiting the phone call to tell us to collect our keys ( could be another 7 days ) but busy relaxing as much as I can sewing as usal ! busy bdancing every few days and FX this is my month !!!
Keep well everyone if I go a few days without login on its because I moved and awaiting internet hook up !
Sunbeam - I hope you are recovering well and it doesn't drag out too long. I really feel for you.
Crafty - How excting. I hope you get your keys soon. We'll be moving in January. We rent though (which sucks) and I'm so not looking forward to it. All the crap we accumulate over the years aaahhh.
You did say about 1/2 a dozen. We had trouble looking at my right ovary so I'm hoping there are more in there. I think he was estimating from my left ovary which had about 5 or 6 so there is still hope.
Hey Everyone - well there are mixed stories going on in here.
Sunbeam - so sorry to hear that. I am exactly where you are right now. We got a weak heartbeat at our 6.5 week scan last Thurs. Question is, is it the embie, is it me? How do you find this out? We've got one blastie left in the freezer, but getting sick of losing them at around the 6 week mark everytime!!!
Sunbeam, I'm 37 years old and live on the Goldy if you want to catch up for a coffee sometime? I caught up with one of the girls from BB onetime and it was just great to sit there face to face and share our stories even though we were strangers, kind of. These journeys link us all!!!
Ferrals - well done hun. Twins would be my dream.
Thinking of you all xxxxxx
AFM - too scared to leave the house in case I start to miscarry...
Sunbeam- I hope everything went ok (IYKWIM) yesterday, rest up and take it easy hunny xxx
Mindhugs- hi nice to meet you, sorry you are in this situation of limbo land, hope it works out. I don't think there is any way to find out really except time, when are you getting another scan? xx
Alice- you are close to starting bcp, no looking back then! How is Mr Alice going ? Hope he is feeling less grumpy today, I understand how hard it is to quit, usually takes a few false starts as well, he will eventually realise how much better he feels physically!
Porsche-hopefully you will have about 6 as well in the other ovary so thats great! You will be well and truly UTD hopefully when you move in Jan, we have moved 3 times in the last 2 1/2 yrs but THATS IT! Never again, we own this house now, although I still have nightmares about having to move again.
Craftmummy- hope you survive a few days without internet or BB!! More time to BD!
Ferals-great news about the beta level!
Mildez- hi what did you decide to do?
Hey murrycod- great to hear from you hope all is going beautifully in your world xx
Nothing to report here, except failing in my health kick, my work is a constant source of cakes/chocolates/lollies and last week I had willpower but i lost it over the weekend and was tucking in to everything, so annoyed with myself. Also beng a bit slack on the exercise front and got a pep talk from my acupuncture lady, but its so cold herre I can barely leave the house. I am definately going to the gym today though.
Sunbeam hope your getting over your D&C its so hard isn't it I cried and cried and cried until I couldn't cry anymore or see as my eyes were so swollen, be brave I know its hard we are all here for you when you feel ready to talk !
Mindhugs so sorry you are in the same boat as sunbeam it sucks when you can get pregnant and then mc makes you wonder why the lord bothers letting you get a BFP when its just not going to work out ! But people do go on to have babies after mc I am proof of that I have had 5mc's in all but not managed to get a BFP since my last one in sept last year as yet but I am 45 now so I have to be a bit more patient !
Hopefully you will be sorted soon are you going to wait it out or opt for a D&C if it doesn't happen soon ? Keep well and try to look to the future !
Mildez how you doing ! hope your DH is smiling and giving you lots of support your time is nearly here how exciting !
Alice not long now till you go on the pill ( sounds kind of strange saying that in a TTC thread ) oh well I know its for the best FX your journey is short this time round !
Saffy Hi so glad your also having trouble staying on the good healthy track your not alone on that one ! I am the worlds worst with 7 kids at home and a birthday nearly every month well its impossible to leave the cake and lollies isn't it ! We will be moving for the 6th time in 4.5 yrs and one of those times was overseas to Australia from the UK 18mnths ago supose I should be used to it but I am not at least this time it will be permanent as its our own home at long last, this renting business is so hard it never feels like home !
Ferrals how are the twinnies ! no wonder your more horney than usual your lucky DH !!!! ( bet hes kind of worn out now ) give the guy a rest !!!
Porsche 6 is a good number you only need 1 good grade A like ferrals !!! she is an inspiration to us all !
afm well just trying not to think too much about TTC but day 13 so the big O anyday now so busy busy in the bedroom ( shame DH is warn out he is tired from the weekend paving the cross-over on the drive at the new house ) men you can never please them !!!
crafty - happy O day!! Hope you catch that eggy! Cheeky little things arent they, they must hide around a corner so the sperm cant hump them!! Good luck for the move!
sunbeam - we are all here when your feeling up to it, Im sure I can speak on behalf of everyone when I say we are thinking of you! xx
Ferrals - oh twins! Im so jealous! Thats my dream!!! Good luck, what a blessing if it is!!
saffy - dont worry - ive got an 'F' in health kick too!! Just aint workin for me!
Mindhugs - oh love, im sorry to hear your having a tuff time! Look after yourself and we are all here for you xx
Alice, Porsche, Mildez and anyone ive forgotten ??
AFM - Well AF arrived this morning - at least the b*tch is punctual! Im off to info evening tonight with DH for MelbIVF - looking forward to it! My doc is speaking so will be good to hear what he has to say!
Hope you all get thru another day OK, take care my loves xx
T-Hopes - Ahh that totaly sucks. At least your not waiting and wondering if, when and why? lol Good luck at the info night. I never went to one but I would have liked to. Ah well bit late now hehe.
Mindhugs - What a terrible situation to be in. How terrified and upset you must be. My heart goes out to you and your DH. Have they offered a D&C?
Thank you all for you loving words, support and prayers, it means so much to know you are all here for me.
The d & c was fair bit longer than last time so I'm struggling a bit from the anesthetic, fairly sore too so I didn't get much sleep and had to sleep propped up. My lovely housemate was there for me the whole day and kept my spirits up and let me cry when I needed to, she is such a lovely friend. My mum has also flown down to look after me which is nice though she does not handle my tears so well.
I hope to see FS early next week. He'd already planned to send bub for genetic tests before I even brought it up. Donor daddy and I have spoken and depending on answers from FS I think we will try IVF just till the end of the year. We are already over our threshold so we will only be out of pocket about $1000 each time. I feel it may give us answers as to why our bubs are failing and even if it does not result in a forever baby I will at least be able to finish this journey feeling we gave it every possible shot and a fresh start for the New Year.
Sunbeam - glad your Mum is with you and your housemate is looking after you too - wish I could bring you some soup. sorry the D&C was a bit more tough this time - rest up and take good care of your lovely self. I'm glad to hear you might be able to try again and hopefully you'll get some more answers through IVF with different types of testing. Thinking of you.
Crafty, you must be looking forward to getting your keys after all this time. Will be great to settle into your new home finally - do you have a craft room by any chance? Be nice to have a space where you can spread out with all your fabric and wool. I can't sew really and only do a bit of crochet but love seeing other people's creative spaces. I hope you have the house-warming present you are praying for very soon! We're all hoping for that for you too.
Saffy, I'm not doing well on the exercise front at all either - like you, it's just so damn cold up here (it snowed on Monday!) that I can't bring myself to going outside. My TCM practitioner said to rug up and go - she really wants me to get on with it as apparently it can help raise progesterone levels and mine are not quite there yet though it's exciting to see them inching upwards. I'm thinking about the gym too but never been to one so a bit scared by all those fit people!
Porsche, good luck with growing your extra follies - sounds like things are going well now. Are you having a scan tomorrow or is it Monday?
Mindhugs, I'm so sorry for your losses, it must be absolutely devastating to go through that so many times. I understand your fear about not wanting to leave the house in case the mc starts - I was exactly the same so I waited at home for ten days then went in for a D&C. I think I would have gone on for quite some time otherwise. I hope you don't have to wait too much longer. Big hugs to you and you are very welcome here, I'm glad you've joined us.
T-hopes, be interested to know how the info night goes - we never went to one either. Good that your doc will be speaking as at least it will give you some idea of what he is like. I hope he's excellent. Any more shopping fun? Hope AF leaves you soon.
MatthewsMum - we haven't heard from you in a while, are you OK? Is your new hormone support cycle starting soon?
Ferrals, LOL at Crafty telling you to give your DH a break! Don't wear yourself out now Can't wait to hear how many you've got in there and if it is only one then at least you know you've got a really strong little one growing.
Mildez, how are you? Hi to everyone I have missed.
AFM well it's things are up and down most days, feeling scared and not wanting to let myself get too hopeful and that sinking feeling of resignation that I will never have a family of my own. Just because I've done this diet and stuck to it doesn't mean it will work though I know it is helping as I have more energy than before. Just got to get myself out exercising but it's so damn cold, like Saffy, I just can't bring myself to do it. DH is a little better - TCM prac. told me to make sure he eats lots of protein and complex carbs more often during the day to stop the mood swings which are blood sugar related so going to make him some yummy lunches and hope that helps.
sunbeam - so glad to hear that you have good support around you! its vital at this time! take care xx
alice - not long to you start pill poppin now!!! Whoo hoo! I can understand your fears, I feel really good about this for you! I feel it in my waters!! And yes I have done a little more shopping... I bought the BEST pair of boots from Witchery!! Down from $350 to $149!!! Stoked!!! They are gorgeous! I saw a girl wearing some so i ran after her to ask her where they were from! hehehe!
AFM - We went to the MelbIVF seminar and it was fab! 2 docs spoke (1 was ours) and they were brilliant! They spoke so well and were more than happy to answer questions and hang back after to chat too! We were very impressed cause when we first arrived, our doc and his Practice manager both said Hi to us and remembered our names!! We have only seen him 3 times so thought that was great!! We have done all our paper work now and sent off our police checks and child protection checks so we are all ready to go!!! We have our nursing and counseling appts on 26 Aug. Cant wait!!
AF has been heavy and painful so im having a sick day today, but our ducted heating is broken so its freezing!! It's 13degrees inside!!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Good for you Sunbeam, we know how hard it must be for you to post, thanks for letting us know how you are. What a shame the D&C was rough, but luckily you have a great housemate to get you through, she must feel like she is on the same emotional rollercoaster as you! Lots of to you lovely one
Alice- there is no way I would go to a normal gym, I go to Contours ( women only) have been going to either Curves or Contours (depending on which were closest to where I was living, they are basically the same) for a few years now, they are great, no need to feel self conscious at all, women of all shapes and sizes and ages. They people working there are really friendly too. I ended up going yesterday and will try to go tomorrow, its better for me to go 3 times a wk but I only manage once or twice. I also count vacuuming and gardening as exercise! My acupuncture lady is really on my case at the mo, which I need, she's even talked me into drinking green tea P.S you will have a baby darling xx
Porsche- good luck for the scan Saturday, nearly there, hope those follies are growing nice and juicy
T-Hopes-sorry Af came , you can be in the same IVF boat as us at least! Who is your Dr for Melb IVF? We didn't go to an info session cos they are in Melb, would be interesting though.
Hi to Craftymummy, Mindhugs, Mildez, ferals, Matthewsmum, hope your week is going well.
Has anyone seen the movie Mother and Child? I saw it with my mum yesterday, it was great (a tearjerker though).
Alice - I'm having a scan on Saturday with EPU being Monday. I had my last sniff of Synarel this morning and I've noticed an abundance of EWCM which I was told on another forum is great for more follies! Estrogen levels rising or something. So I'm a bit excited can't wait until Sat to see if we have produced some extra ones. As for diest lol I'm on a see food diet. I've tried but I am notorious for failing. I would love to lose the 5Kg I've put on whilst TTC over this last 18 months. I'd be happy to be back to 60kg again.
T-Hopes - I'm so glad your info session was helpful. I'm really impressed that your Dr remembered your name. Ha Ha I cansee you chasing some girl down. I hope she didn't think you were a nutter lol.
Saffy - Where are you up to in your cycle? Are you BCPing? I'm sorry I forget.
I have no idea how anyone can get through what you have, but know we are here for you when you need xxxx
Sunbeam I am so sorry honey this has happened to you again I know nothing I can say will make you feel any better but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers ! I am here for you and will pray you recover quickly please take care and don't blame yourself I definately beleive you need to go and get your NK cells cheked ! Take care we are all feeling this for you be brave !
Good luck for the move!
Can't wait to hear how many you've got in there and if it is only one then at least you know you've got a really strong little one growing.
P.S you will have a baby darling xx
