:hug::hug: Sunbeam Rest up and we'll "see" you when you are ready.
Sunbeam - :hug: 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 :hug: 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).
Hi Ladies
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.
Hi girls i am still lurking and following your journeys i am great not much news until thursday u/s but i miss you all and hope you join me soon.
Saffy - we are seeing Dr Haider Najjer. REally happy with him, he is very proactive, thorough and compassionate! Highly recommend him. No havent seen that movie?? Is it out at the movies atm?? PS I LOVE green tea! Used to hate it but have been drinking it for about 18mths and really enjoy! Mandura is the nicest brand!!
Porsche - oh its all happening atm for you!!! Good luck for your u/s!! Keep us posted!!
I have been a little worried about IUI just in case I grow too many follicles and they cancel the cycle (as they cancel if i have more than 3 follicles) but my doc told me last night that if that happens, and we do have more than 3 follicles, we can switch straight to IVF and they will up my puregon and try to get even more follicles! Does that make sense?? Anyway hopefully we have nothing to lose!
Ferrals - we miss you too!! We'll get there soon!!
Night everyone!!
Thanks for asking about me. What a week its been. My cycle has been cancelled but its all good. At the last minute I was changed from the long cycle to the antagonist which threw a spanner in the works then my BTs showed some HCG higher then not pregnant but not enough to confirm I was pregnant so thats why it was cancelled. I asked them to do it as a POAS was faint but 3 tests showed the faintest of all faint lines when the light was on and it was held up at a certain angle. It wasn't even 10 but higher then the 5. Now DH thinks we can do it on our own. So I am waiting for more BTs and I run out of HPTs and promised DH I wouldn't buy anymore (after using 20 of them lol literally no lie) I flew into a panick to begin with and wrote a post then deleted it as it was so mumbo jumbo. I wanted a definate answer but still no. Need to have more BTs today and wont get the results til next week (as patholiogy shuts for the weekend) So waiting waiting. Just hope its either really high or none at all as if its lower then it should be we are having methotrexate and the IVF clinic said they don't like to start an IVF cycle until 6 maybe 12months post methotrexate. Thats just my luck that will happen. They were fabulous however and went on about my age and how 1yr really is nothing. Really helped me put everything into perspective so that helped surprisingly. Its so true for me and I just need to get over this time limit I have put on myself as really we potentially have about 15years left give or take a few years. As a middy I should know that shouldn't I?
Porsche I have everything crossed for you that you get some lovely mature eggs at EPU that divide, divide and grow and become your little babies.
Ferrals when do you have a scan to have a head count?
Alice I have absolutely everything crossed that this new cycle coming brings you your forever baby.
My stupid computer wont let me go back so sorry for the lack of personals. I was trying to keep to myself until I had a definate answer as to if its a yes, a no or a disaster. I am so tempted to go buy a POAS. I have an appointment with my specialist next week so I guess I'll have more news then.
Hi Ladies
T-Hopes - Yes it seems to be moving along now. Not quite quick enough for me though lol. I hate that our FS want to cancell us all the time. I've spent the whole week expecting to be cancelled because that's what FS was expecting grrr.
Mildez - I really hope it is a true + for you and it's a really icky sticky one! I can understand yur hesitation in replying. But we are here when you need us :hug:.
Hi Ladies
Mildez FX be patient my dear and try to relax time will tell if its a genuine BFP then we can all dance and shout with you !!!!
Porsche nearly there don't think the worst all the time have some faith beleive in yourself and your body you can do it just needs some fine tuning to get the good eggies !!! FX all goes well for you,
T-hopes glad your evening was informative I remember going to one many years ago before my IUI with donor journey began and it made us feel so much more positive and look what we got as
bonus a whole house full !! lol so you never know what will happen in the future !!
Ferrals as always your in my thoughts and prayers and I hope to join you soon ( I only want the one though but DH is a TWIN and so is my DAD :o
Well this may be my last day to be able to talk to you ladies as I will be moving over the weekend and its gonna be around 2 wks before we get the internet sorted don't know why it takes them so long to flick a few switches anyway what am I gonna do in the TWW with no belly belly OMG how will I get through !!!
Anyhow keep well and I know I am going to miss out on so much exciting news but know that I am thinking of you all and will be back ASAP !!!
Bye for now !
FX I get a BFP to come back with !!! :crossfingers::crossfingers:
Good luck with the move Crafty, we're going to miss you! Yes, come back with your BFP so we can celebrate x
Porsche, I can't see why they would cancel now - you've got minimum 6 so that's really good. Good luck for tomorrow's scan.
Mildez!!! Well, wouldn't you know it - as soon as the IVF train gets rolling. I hope this is a true BFP for you, that would be wonderful news. I hope you don't have to go down the path of methotrexate. Glad it has helped put things in perspective for you though - it's not surprising that you loose that a bit being around newborns every day, that makes sense to me. Fingers crossed for you - keep in touch x
T-hopes, have a pic of you running after that woman and her boots! Very funny. That's great that you have the option for IVF if you get too many follies - it's always good to have a back-up plan. I hope you don't need it and that this IUI does the trick.
Ferrals, miss you too! Only a week to go until your next scan!
Sunbeam, thinking of you lovely, every day. I hope you are taking good care of yourself.
Saffy, how are you?
HappyBaby, are you still with us? Who are we missing? Feels like someone is missing...
AFM well decided to brace myself against the cold and go for a good long brisk walk yesterday..and woke up this morning with a head full of snot (sorry) and glands all swollen in my throat. It could have been from seeing my god children on Tuesday night - they were coughing so maybe it's just taken a few days to hit home. I hope I can fight it off - been doing well this winter so far compared to most. Obviously helps to not be working and being able to rest as much as I need. Feeling very teary today - my little angel would be born in a few weeks if all had gone well. We're going to be away on the weekend before (EDD is 30 August) for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. Feel a bit dejected but have to go. For some reason feel like we should cancel this cycle maybe I'm just too scared to face the possibility that it is all over for us. Sorry for being down in the dumps, I appreciate all your positive thoughts and encouragement. Will try to keep my chin up. You're a wonderful bunch in here and I'm so glad we have this thread. Have a good weekend everyone xx
Hi Alice well been packing and packing again all morning boy I am so fed up of this now ! I was really brave and opened up all my baby boxs ( stuff I can't throw out incase of a BFP ) well I went through it all and
managed to throw out a whole black bag full of stuff thats not that nice ! milk stains can be seen anyhow It was surprisingly easy really for me I have avoided it so long for fear of the old tears coming back with avengance ! so I gave myself a pat on the back for being so brave its gonna be my Mc anniversary in a months time sept 3rd so I feel I have now turned a corner and managed to grieve enough with the help of all you lovely ladies on here I can now move forward and pray I get my BFP real soon along with all of you !
Well thats my lunch break over with best get back to packing ( will it ever end )
Alice I just wanted to say that the lead upto your EDD is far worse than the actual day beleive me you get some kind of closure on the actual day a bit like well crossing the line and saying well thats that onwards and upwards and never give up hope !!!! ;)
THopes-I know him! He used to work at the last hospital I was at in Melbourne before I moved, he's very nice, I didn't remember he did IVF so I am glad you have a nice doc.
Mildez- wow what a week you have had, I really hope you don't have to have methotrexate! Even if you do as they said, time is definately on your side, I am glad something is happening for you anyway, since my miscarriage I have never even got a hint of a bfp, so you still can do it naturally if you had to wait ( do they let you try natuerally after methotrexate or do you need to use contraception?) Good luck with BT next week, how annoying having to wait all weekend, any symptoms??
Alice- I am good, just a bit boring, still waiting another week to start sniffing, I don't want to wish my life away ( god knows the years go quick enough) but Iam SO impatient to get started, once I start the hormones and turn feral I will be taking back that statement no doubt. Was just getting my nails done and reading a trashy mag and there was a story about an actress from hey dad who did ivf saying how she would lie on the couch all day sobbing, then get anxious then irritable then angry.....oh dear wish I hadn't read it really. Anyway, the good news is she is 41 and she had a baby in the end, so take heart in that, it is going to happen for you xx
P.S. I was overseas on my EDD last year, I chose to not really acknowledge it and to tell the truth can't even remember where I was that day, I hope you have get through it OK, don't cancel your cycle, I need you to hold my hand through it as I am a naive IVF virgin!
Crafty- good luck with packing, i don't envy you at all poor love, should take your mind off the TWW tho!!!
Hi Porsche- try and think positive! You will be fantastic!
Mildez-wouldnt it be wonderful if it is a positive and the BT was just early so the level was low and for a hpt to show a line then something is going on in there i cant wait to find out your results.
My scan for head count is thursday i am leaning towards one in there but sometimes when my boobs are excruciating and i am running to the loo to dribble every 20 minutes it makes me wonder if there is more than one.
porsche-i was looking like i was going to get cancelled but it turned out in the end.
Crafty-good luck with the move and we will catch up in 2 weeks.
Alice- sorry to hear you are not well rest up and take it easy and it is ok to be teary about what should have been and please dont give up you deserve to have your dream come true.
Thanks for the support ladies. Warning this is a me me post coming up. I just can't stop crying and I am so over it. It feels like such a tease to get a BFP and then no its going to fail. What is wrong with me? So I got a call this morning to say HCG 2days ago was 80. So I couldn't resist and just got a FR and again a faint line. By now the HCG should be 250 plus they told me. My last pregnancy 12months ago my line was more convincing when the HCG was 71 so clearly its not a viable pregnancy and most likely another ectopic.I know people say don't compare lines but really after 3 pregnancies that have failed and the lines have done the exact same I do believe what it is telling me. I am so pee'd of my body just can't do it. I can't even see why IVF would be any different. I mean clearly something is going on for my body to kill the last 4 pregnancies. Its been 12months since I get the hint of a pregnancy only for it to appear to not continue. Will it be another 12months before the next hint or will my last tube be removed so then there is no chance? I have absolutely no symptoms I am pregnant except the +HPT And then if I wanted to do IVF all I can think of is why would it be any different. And now I have to wait until Wednesday to get more results. And they tell me its a tubal problem. I can't help but think its more then that and they just wont investigate further. I just wish I could give up wanting another baby but I can't get rid of those feelings. So sad right now. Why did it have to happen at all if it couldn't stay around? It seems to have stuffed up all our plans with the IVF, put them on a hold and make me doubt my body even more. And DH doesn't know yet as he is away and he is going to flip that I even tested again when I told him I wouldn't. Boo hoo.
Hi Ladies
Mildez - I'm so sorry it doesn't seem to be working for you. :hug:
AFm had our scan this morning and great news 12 follies looks to be 6 in each YAY! So EPU is definate for Tuesday.
ET is looking like Friday the 13th ooohhhhhh Black Friday. I hope that's not a bad omen.
Mildez-:hug: sorry you are having such a hard time, its must be so frustrating xxxx
Porsche- good for you, I'm so glad your fears were unfounded, go fri 13th!
Hi everyone else, Sunbeam hope you are holding up ok xxx
Hello lovelies,
Mildez - I am so sorry to hear you are where you are right now and I can totally sympathise. I feel the same way, why let us get pg only to take it away again? I also feel IVF will make no difference if it is my body that is rejecting my babies. I have decided that whether my FS believes in NK cells or not I am not going to even try IVF unless he agrees to medicate me for it and also any other conditions whether I've tested positive for them or not. I'm not prepared to just do the same old thing again and just hope for a different result. If he won't do it I will find someone that will. Wish I could pop over for a coffee and give you a big hug.
Got to do something with mum now back later.
I am so up and down I do not know how I am going to manage back at work on tuesday. It has been good having mum here but like I said she is not good with tears so I have just tried to hide it when I have felt down or gone to bed for a while to cry. We went to the shops for a little while this morning and just seeing baby clothes on the rack made me so upset, I just wanted to burst into tears there and then. My housemate is away till thursady and I am missing her so much because I know she would just hold me and let me cry.
I have decided to go and see the counsellor at the clinic next week because I need to know how to cope with the various possibilities that are just around the corner, the worst of which would be no baby of my own, ever.
My bt on thursday still showed HCG so they want to do another one next week. I've had no bleeding and only the slightest brown when I wipe, it was all over so fast it sometimes feels like I imagined the whole pg, but then the emptiness hits and I know it was real.
Mildez, if it is a tubal problem there IS something you can do. At SIVF the doctors put you on anti-biotics to reduce any possible infection that might be present in the tube that can effect implantation. Also, in the US, it is common for doctors to remove the blocked tube to increase success with IVF. So don't despair - you don't have to have the tube removed, you can try antibiotics with your IVF cycle and if it does have to be removed you will be increasing your chances of success (as I understand it). I'm sorry you are going through this again, and I'm sorry you are feeling so sad but don't give up - there are options left to explore especially as this has recurred. :hug: to you x
Porsche, great news re your scan! 12 follies!! Good luck for Tuesday and don't be worried re Friday 13th - everything will be fine :) xx
Sunbeam, I'm so sorry, I wish I could help. I know that exact feeling of it being over so fast it feels like you imagined the whole thing (you didn't lovely, it was real and it is a real loss and you need to grieve) and the fear of never having a bub of your own. The fact you can fall pg is really positive (even though I know it feels like it's pointless if you are only going to loose them) and like I've said to Mildez, I think IVF can only increase your chances and I agree with you to do what you can to get the treatment you need to know you have covered every possibility. I hope your FS is supportive. :hug: hope the counselling helps and good luck for Tuesday x
Sorry to rush = will be back later for more persies
Thank you much ladies. I am so sorry to vent the way I did. I was in such a terrible way yesterday. Last night I started to get really bad pain. I hardly slept and just lay there thinking I was going to have to phone an ambulance. I was convinced I was having a ruptured ectopic. Anyway I saw my GP this morning who transferred me to the ED where I spent a few hrs having IV fluids and a scan and blood tests. Apparently my HCG has risen well although they can't rule out ectopic but also said there was still a chance its a progressing pregnancy. The most concerning thing is I have free fluid floating around my ovaries. Right is much worse then the left although the left side is the one I ovulated from and have the tube for. Apparently to a degree its normal but I have more then normal. The said it can be suggestive of a ruptured ectopic but seeing as I would only be 4weeks pregnant it would be virtually impossible to have a pregnancy that early rupture the tube. I have another scan in 10days as it is to early to see where the pregnancy is but at this stage it is growing. They didn't tell me the HCG so I don't know what it is but they said it has more then doubled in 3days. Only thing is they tested it at a different lab. Hopefully that wont make a big difference to the accuracy. So I am still waiting for answers. Trying to be positive but not set myself up for disappointment. Pain is getting worse at the moment. I want a hot bath and some analgesia but scared to do either. The Dr I saw was so lovely so that really helped. I also experienced my first missed cannular. Gee doesn't that hurt? I foolishly said I have good veins so I think they sent someone inexperienced in. He did get it on the 2nd go but I am now nursing two brusied wrists.
Mildez, just wondering about that fluid...was it you that had the right side pain recently? If so, perhaps you had an ovarian cyst that burst - it would explain the extra fluid and would fit with where you have the pain now too. Gosh this must be so difficult that you can't just get a clear answer yet. I'm hoping it is a normal pregnancy (not in your tube) and that it is progressing steadily and you get some good news soon. If you need to take pain killers, it is safe to have paracetemol I believe and you could try a heat bag instead of a bath (as the heat bag isn't too hot, that should be OK - maybe just heat it a little less that usual). Hoping you can rest up - sorry about your bruised wrists :( Take care xx
Hi Ladies,
Hope all the people who have been having a hard time feel a bit better this week....
Mildez- sounds like a god awful nightmare what you have been through, there is a ray of hope though that your numbers are great and it may just be early days :crossfingers: I agree with alice, definately have some panadol, it doesn't go through and its too early anyway even if i did, hot pack is a good suggestion too. Please don't apologise for venting we are here for that, god knows you had more than enough reason!!
Sunbeam- you poor thing, its hard with mums because you probably feel like you want to protect her from your tears, hope your flatmate comes home v soon. But definately go to the counsellor, you need someone who can just let you let it out and give you some strategies. It must be difficult to go back to work, I hope it is ok :hug:
Porsche- best of luck for tomorrow, you must be so excited xxx
ALice- Hi :hello:, i know I ask you this every day but when do you start the BCP?
Howdy to Ferals, Matthewsmum, Crafty, THopes and anyone else??
Thanks for the suggestion Alice. Maybe thats what has caused the fluid. They did say it could have come from the opposite side as it does tend to move from side to side. If a cyst had ruptured they wouldn't be ablt to see it now could they? I guess I'll find out more tomorrow.
Mildez, i also had lots of free fluid, but mine was after EPU and TF, i dont know if your cycle was a FET? things can settle down, did they do a white blood cell count to rule out any infection ? (this is my trouble)
I hope the next 10 days goes quickly for you, also remember if you have any pain or bleeding (the last i had with this current pg) go and get it checked, i hate it when Dr and FS leave you ion limbo when you susspect ectopic. mine was over 9 weeks befor it was discovered (not IVF)
Look after yourself
ETA i have no tubes now due to recurrent 'tubal problems' and fluid in pelvis. dont give up hun and push for more testing, change FS if need be google Dr Toth infertility, its very interesting
Saffy, I'm waiting for AF but so far no signs of her...weird as my temp has dropped right down like usual the day of/before AF is due so mustn't be long to go then that'll be Day 1 of OCP. I really don't want to take it after working so hard to regulate my hormones (getting some nice high temps now - all b/w 36.6-36.8 for second half of the cycle with no dips so that's encouraging) so I hope it doesn't set me back. Are you sniffing yet?
Mildez, once a cyst is ruptured they can usually only tell by the free fluid in the pelvis so that's what made me think of it though if you'd had one rupture you would know because the pain can be intense. I was meant to have a scan but my pain has eased and I don't have the extra $$ to do it for nothing so I'm leaving it for now. Hope that's the right decision. Good luck for tomorrow - will be thinking of you.
Loula thanks for your message to my post. My BFP came from my last cycle prior to starting an antagonist cycle. I was waiting for AF to show which she didn't (due over the weekend just been so very early days) Our biggest issue is the tubal problems and I have had an infection which was picked up with the laparoscopy to remove my last ectopic pregnancy 12months ago. I wanted methotrexate if this one is also as if there is a tube then their is hope it could happen even if thats remote. But now if it is it will be too late to have it as my HCG is rising very quickly. But hopefully that is because there is a healthy pregnancy. My last 2 pregnncies prior to this have not started well so hopefully its a sign things are ok. I am hoping anyway.
Alice I did have alot of pain last month especially and it was my right side so perhaps your right it was a cyst or else the infection I had ages ago is still there.
Meldez (sorry ladies to crash this thread)
I was advised to remove BOTH my tubes when i was 22, but the FS i was under (who did not do the lap, but his collegue did) suggested that i just try IVF as it by passses the tubes anyway.
I fought tooth and nail to keep both my tubes (one saved after ectopic) but the recurrent infection from them after every IVF cycle was becoming too much to bare. i finally got both removed through 5 hourse of surgery in 2008, and i feel so much better afterwards. i would never had IVF work with them in due to the hydro washing away and creating a toxic environment for the emby to implant. i lost 5 pg prior to them being removed and one afterwards.
my HCG was always inconsistant rising one day and not the next. with this pg i was sure something was wrong as my HCG was low at the start and i was bleeding, but low and behold our first evert HB!
PM me if you want any more details, i saw 5 FS and a mocrobiologiest in 7 years with 15 cycles of IVF. never give up x
Mildez - Just wanted to pop in and to say you are in my prayers and Im wishing so much that this the beginning of something wonderful! Keep us posted and take care of yourself! xx
Loula - wow, im sorry you have had such a difficult journey - but its so good to hear that you have a healthy bubba on the way - inspiring!
Short post, sorry my loves but im pooped!
Good night xx :asleep:
Hi Ladies
Just wanted to say Mildez be strong you are going to be ok I am sure of it a BFP is a BFP all the same so don't fret you will be ok I know your previous history makes you freak a bit but I am sure you will be fine,
My sil lost her first bub with ectopic and went on to have 2 healthy bubs a few years later in the end it was just the one tube for her and she never had any more probs.
Alice wonder if you got a sneaky BFP too ? take care and by the time I get back on the internet you will nearly be having your egg pick how exciting !
T-hopes Hi there hope your well keep smiling your turn will come soon !
AFM well just a quickie as my internet is still on ATM got my keys and moving Thursday so just waiting for the removal van now and well still packing packing and more but some is just going straight to the new house when we go down to have a look.
I am in the TWW so trying not to think about it too much but its always there in the back of your mind isn't it !
Hi Ladies
Just a really quickie from me. I'll catch up tomorrow when I have lots more time.

yay for you Porsche, what a great result!
hi everyone else x
Porsche, you clever woman, 15 eggs!! That's terrific news and I hope as I'm typing this your DHs swimmers are getting all snuggly with those fabulous eggs! Exciting! Now for the nerve-wracking bit - we're here for you, be as mad as you need to, god knows I'll be crawling the walls if/when it's my turn!
Crafty, so you've got the keys to the castle, yah! Hope the move goes well and you get connected quick smart - we'll be missing you. Good luck for the TWW and I totally know what you mean about it always being there in the back of your mind.
Mildez - when do you get more news? Must be so hard to wait and not know. Keeping everything crossed for you.
Sunbeam, how did you go with work today? I hope it was OK and the counseling helped.
T-hopes, good luck catching the egg this month. Hope you don't have to start the grown-up stuff!
Saffy, Ferrals, HappyBaby, Sevie and anyone else I missed - hi!
What is it with AF? I am as regular as bloody clockwork and the one period I'm waiting for won't come! I almost always have 28 day cycles so unless she comes in the next hour and a half she's making a liar out of me. Weird because I've ovulated on day 12 so it's not possible to go any longer than this is it? I thought 14-16 days leutal phase was pretty much how it works. Other than that, temps are good, TCM practitioner is happy with me, thinks I'm in with a good shot, so come on already I need to get started! Had a weird dream last night that I was in a labour ward and had just given birth but I'd passed out and had to ask my DH what had happened and he said we had a girl and that I'd made a racket and my bbs were rock hard and the nurse said that's the milk coming in. I've never had a labour dream before (if that counts as one) so hope it's a good sign ('cept for the passing out bit). Anyway, going to try coax AF with my white pjs - damn witch, hurry up already!
Porsche what a fantastic result. Praying for you that you have fantastic fertilization rates and grow embies grow.
I am flying bto work now so very quick one. HCG was 1000 so going up in the right direction. I have a scan next Wednesay to confirm what is going on. They said they will be able to see then. Having alot of pain but now its right sided which is where most of the fluid was and I know I ovulated left side so I'd prefer it to be right sided. Cramping alot. They said the fact I have no bleeding is good as ectopic you usually have bleeding fairly early on. Clinging to all the signs its going well.
Mildez, fingers crossed for you that everything is OK. I hope the pain and cramping goes away. Good luck for your scan next Wednesday
Ferrals, good luck for tomorrow's scan - can't wait to hear the result!
Well AF arrived overnight so I am officially finally on the way! Day 1 OCP today. Wish me luck!
Porsche-good work i am crossing my fingers for good fertilisation for you than it wont be long before your BFP.
T-Hopes-i loved vitex when i was on it my E2 levels were normal and no PMS cranky pants when AF was due.
Mildez-those numbers are good i hope this little bub sticks for you.
Alice-YEH! for AF showing on time and not long for you now and the injections start.
AFM-all good here 7 weeks today my scan is at 9am tomorrow at westmead i am freaking a little i dont know why my boobs are huge and sore i am going to the loo constantly and still very tired so there has to be a growing bub in there i am just worried something will be wrong after all the bad U/S with Abbi i am terrified of them now.
Hi Ladies
I've got a bit more time today lol.
Ferrals - Wow 7 weeks already. Time certainly flies! Can't wait to hear about the scan.
Alice - Yay for Af arriving!!!! Now your on the IVF path!! Wishing you heaps and heaps of luck.
Mildez - My fingers are crossed for you. It sounds really positive.
T-Hopes - Lets hope this natural cycle is the one for you and you don't need the grown up stuff!
AFM - I'm a little tender in the tummy but a heat pack and painkillers are doing the trick. We ended up with 9 little embies out of the 15 follies so really happy with that result. ET will be Friday so I'm sticked to say the least and excited we have some to freeze.
Porsche-that is a fantastic number, good for you! I hope I am as lucky as that!!!
Alice- glad AF arrived and didn't make you wait any longer, lets get on wih this baby making xx
Mildez- I agree it does sound positive, you may have gotton in just in time before commencing ivf, sticky vibes to you xxx
Ferals- yay for 7 wks, I'm sure your scan will be better than you imagine- good luck!
afm- nothing much, start sniffing on sunday and its finally getting closer, very excited
Hi ladies,
Porsche - That is such fantastic news I'm with Staffy, I hope I get such good results if I get to IVF. I hope you get a BFP first go.
Mildez - I hope the HCG keeps on going up so well it is sounding pretty positive now.
Ferrals - I have everything crossed for you for tomorrows scan. I had a dream about you last night and I came to visit you and you had a baby girl :pray: I hope this was a real premonition.
Crafty - Hopefully the move will keep your mind busy in the TTW with a great result at the end.
Alice - I'm glad AF finally showed :dance:. This IVF train is getting very full I hope I get to hop on soon. I'll have AF when you are done with her though I'm likely to be waiting a while yet.
T Hopes - I hope you do get your natural BFP and can skip the ups and downs of the IVF roller coaster like Mildez.
AFM - Well going back to work was surprisingly easy some how, being surrounded by my lovely collegues and having my mind kept occupied helped heaps. Mum left yesterday morning and I was a bit worrried how I'd go alone last night but I was fine. I had cried for an hour 1/2 and cried myself to sleep the night before so I think that made a difference. I am seeing the psychologist tomorrow and FS on friday. I have a huge list of questions for him. We won't get the genetic tests back till next week and AF unlikely to show till around mid september so in for a long wait to start anything new. :rolleyes:
