Saffy - i am so sneaky!!
oh love af already? surely not... hmmm tricky one! WTF is going on with these crazy bodies of ours!?! IM hoping its implant bleed and if its not... well that witch better hurry up so you can start round II! I hear ya about the 5kg!! I have a hot muffin top going these days! NOt!! Im not overweight but i can certainly feel the few extra im carrying and i cant get the mojo to do anything about it... i just keep thinkin - ah well ill be UTD soon! - HA!!! What am i thinking?! xx
Anyway im off to bed, have my scan at 8.15am then a IVF councelling appt just incase we get converted!!
oh thank god! I thought I'd never find our thread again!! None of the links were working, it's not even listed in the forums, I got forwarded to some weird place, I was starting to panic. I can't loose you all now, no way!
Been HANGING to hear from HappyBaby - how are you? We never heard about your scan - did it go OK??????
And Ferrals - WOOHOO!! sorry it was so bloody painful, you poor thing - ouch! Sounds like you've got a good and strong bub there Ferrals but I know until all the results are in you'll be worried so hope you don't have to wait too much longer and can't wait to find out what you are having! Such good news!!!! you must have gone nuts not being able to post x
Saffy, implantation, implantation, implantation (I'm sending you lots of implantation vibes) I know it's hard not to 'cause I've looked at photos of myself in January and feel the same way but try not to give yourself a hard time about your weight the important thing is to feel well and if loosing some weight will help you feel well then that's good but don't punish yourself.
T-hopes, all those follies girl, and on such a tiny tiny dose! I hope they can convert your cycle to IVF and get on with things for you - sounds very positive lovely and might be all you need to get your bub. Fingers crossed x
Crafty, for feeling down, I'm always hopeful we'll hear good news from you and really believe it will happen, just hope it's not much longer as you've been through too many sad months, it's just not fair. One more for you please, and soon. x
Sunbeam, did I miss a post from you? Are you jabbing too?
Mildez, Sevie (what happened to Sevie?) Damprye (hope you caught your egg), MatthewsMum are you OK are you starting another cycle soon? Who have I missed? Sorry for missing anyone.
AFM well AF has come and is leaving - pretty uneventful really (not complaining though!) and first BT was today. Nurses said this afternoon we are right to go so starting FSH injections tomorrow. Woohoo! Day 1 tomorrow, at long long last. this cycle works for us!
Alice-nuts is not the word i was beside myself with panic i even cried i blamed hubby cause he wiped our computer the other week and we had to pay $215 to get all our photos retrieved poor darling was blaming himself to we even rang bigpond and blasted them lol but i calmed down and finally got on to update you all.
Great to here injections are starting i am excited for you and will be watching very closely how it all goes.
T-hopes-hope the scan goes well and i am hearing ya on the weight i was 62kg before the ivf now i am 65kg not overweight but the extra around the belly (muffin top) makes me uncomfortable i havnt put on any since my BFP but i have never been this heavy at the beginning of any of my pregnancies so i worried how much i will have to lose at the end i am hoping i only put on about 10kgs that is my usual weight gain but i am not exercising nearly as much as i use to.
Saffy-hope it's implantation spotting and not AF.
And i was looking at my skinny photos the other day and got upset the 3kgs came on after losing Abbi and doing the ivf and i am not tall so it is very noticable i have a muffin top and all my clothes look like they are painted on (not a pretty sight).
Sunbeam-how are you i have been thinking about you.
AFM-hoping the geneticist calls today with the sex of our bub if not will definately be tomorrow i hate the waiting and the SLO results wont be in until next friday at the earliest i was told the lab in South Australia is back logged so there is delays WTF i have a time limit that i can have a normal termiation if i have to 14 weeks is the cut off i will be 13 weeks 2 days next friday so if the results are not in they are cutting a very fine line.
Saffy- I know how hyou feel with AF starting. I was trying to be so optimistic this month as we DTD basically all month and everytime that O was possible there bas extra BDing. I hope yours is just implantation bleeding. I wish that mine was to but according to my LP.... I am spot on for timing I hate having a 9 day LP at longest GRR
oh god Ferrals, it must be so hard to have to even think about the possibility of a termination. I hope you NEVER EVER EVER have to go through that again. You are an amazing strong woman, you know that? You deserve a happy and healthy bub with your DH and I hope this bub is the one. Please no SLO for this bub please. Crossing everything that it will be fine.
Still having trouble with this thread - it doesn't come up in the forum menu anymore and my email notifications aren't working either so I guess it's going to take some time for things to settle down. I know they must be doing everything they can for this to work but I really did feel a loss when I couldn't come on. I don't think I could do this cycle without you all now I've been part of this little community thanks everyone.
Well had a roaring fight with DH this morning who decided it was time to leave just as I was about to do my first injection. Sigh. Good start! We've made up by text so it's all OK. Forget how much this takes out of you. IVF is certainly not for the faint hearted! I'm really tired from yesterday - it is hard getting to the city for early bt (have to leave home at 5am) and then a long day and having to train it home with all the drugs etc. DH needed the car for a training day of all the days so did the whole thing on my own (he usually comes to every appointment with me) so was feeling a bit teary and tired when I woke up this morning and before I knew it we were yelling (well, I was yelling). Oh well, think I'll have me a quiet day and have another go at making a cake.
Damprye, we posted at the same time. Sorry AF is showing her ugly head again. From the little bit I know, 9 days LP would be unusual. I think they say to count back 14-16 days from your period and that's when you would 'o'. I know you've found the temping hard - do the OPKs work for you at all? I really have very little experience of natural conception (sadly) but I remember it all being very confusing when I first had to chart and I don't think I really got a handle on it until I started seeing this TCM practitioner. Good luck with for next month. Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer x
Alice- The first month I used OPKs I only had a 3day LP
My cycles have been very short since my last m/c. The lil one made it to 7w1d, afterwards I had a 6week cycle and now it is roughly every 3weeks.
Sorry to hear about troubles with your hubby. It can happen at the most inappropriate times. Glad to hear that yous have made up though
Alice- I got onto BB on facebook on Tuesday so found out what was going on and some people's servers are taking longer than others to get back to normal, yours must be one of them because mine has been ok since yesterday ( just missing the last 2 wks posts but they are gone for good apparently). I was in a state too, and was imagining what Ferals was going through after her scan! We are all addicted!!
What a morning for you- its so typical about the car etc, but sounds like you did a good job by yourself, can't believe you have to get up at 5am too- foul. for this cycle, you can do it. Baking cakes is relaxing, try not to eat the whole thing when it comes out of the oven lol- that just-baked cake smell, i'm drooling thinking of it!!!
THopes- for your scan, I'm sure it will be great whichever way you go! Actually you have probably already had it- let us know the good results xx
Ferals- I'm quite tall but believe me its still annoying being up a few kgs, especially when they are around the middle, it makes clothes so uncomfortable. Last time I got on the scales I was 75kg but have been avoiding weighing myself for ages as I don't want to see the truth lol. your results come soon, I have a feeling they will be perfect, xxx
Damprye-sorry you are in the same boat as me- its depressing and i think my hormones are all over hte place too as I am teary, and struggling to feel positive.
Matthewsmum- how are you??
AFM- still minor spotting so completely sure its not implantation - I have had implantation bleeds before and they were different. BLAH. Need to get over my dismay, at least DH is home again, I missed him. He is still sick poor love and has to go to work as its really busy.
Hope everyone has a nice day, now we are back in BB land, I'm surprised the site hasn't blown up!
Hmmmm, might go and stalk Dory and see if she's in labour yet...
Ferrals - What a drama to get your cvs it sounds awful and so painful you poor thing. I'm with Crafty I feel the results will be good all the signs are right but I still can't imagine the worry you must be going through
T-Hopes - 3 follies does not seem too much at this stage if 1 or 2 then become doninant I don't see how they can tell what the outcome is going to be when they are still so little. It's good that you can manage on such a low dose though. Good luck with the appt hope you can stay with IUI.
Crafty - How's the new house? Not sure if I missed posts about it but they are gone now. I hope your body does the right thing and O's on time for you.
Saffy - Sorry the spotting is not looking so positive. As far as the weight gain I only wish I could say I've gained a few kilos.... I've gained 12 kilos since TTC and I'm only 5'2". I've gone from a 14 to size 18 and its horrible. I try really hard for the first 2 weeks then I lose all motivation in the TTW. I have managed to shift 2 kilos since the D & C but I had to work really hard for it.
Alice - Yes I'm jabbing. Today was my second one does that make us on the exact same day? I have a scan again next monday and then again on the friday with EPU planned for the following monday if it all goes to plan (god I hope it does).
Damprye - That is a very short LP are the docs not able to help make it longer, I thought it had to be 12-14 days to enable conception.
AFM - *Big catch up ramble alert* Well Af finally arrived on sunday arvo though it took an hours motor bike ride to get her moving ! I had 2 days of full on AF cramps before she came which was really odd. Of course I was then desperate to tell everyone and...no BB . Anyway, had scan and bt on tues and started jabs yesterday. When I was doing 75 for IUI it was no problem but 300 makes me really sore for a few hours afterwards. I have not been feeling great with a wierd virus that is going around that make you feel like you are fighting a bug off and very tired then today I went to work and came home feeling like c*#p after an hour. Does FSH make you feel sick/nauseous or am I just unwell? I am also seeing my doc on saturday to ask if I can go back on the Vitex or if she can give me something else for my mood that won't interfere with IVF because I have been really flat for a few days exactly the way I used to get before the Vitex and I hate it. Has anyone esle taken Vitex through IVF? I have also been lactose and gluten free for 2 weeks now and not finding it as hard as I thought I would. I'm not sure if it is making a difference yet but will stick with it for now then get another bt to see if my inflamation is down. I'm going to see if I can get into the dietitian too as I'm worried with less dairy as a vego if I'm getting enough protien. Oh yes I'm also a year older now! Okay think that's all my news
