Wow I think we have some good karma going on in here at the moment, hopefully it extends to Ferals and her scan today!!
Alice-that is brilliant news , that means the twins will have a little brother or sister lol
Me- Found out today that we only have to pay a few $100 for the next cycle cos we get the rest back from our last cycle. Next month it changes somehow and we wouldn't have got as much so for getting into this next cycle!!
Alice - Yay to the frostie!! Youve done so well!! Take Saffys advice and have the warm milk b4 bed! And look out for your 'sleep window!!' Its the key for me getting a good nights sleep! remember i couldnt sleep a few weeks back?? i tossed and turned ALL night long, drove me batty! It was 4-9DPO for me and i got my BFP, maybe its a good sign
Thanks so much for your support it means so much, I know I should be better able to cope with getting a BFN should be used to it by now ! and I know at my age its going to take some time its just so intense when your TWW is nearly over ! Anyhow I feel abit better today not such a black cloud hanging over me still no AF so when she desides to turn up I will be happy !
Ferrals hope your scan is well and truely over now and with excellent results can't wait to read later on the good news !
Sunbeam way too early for testing so your not out yet be patient !!!
Alice think positive you know your embies are there inside you you just need them to burrow in I am sure you will be fine try to take your mind off the stress you are causing yourself and relax its out of your hands now whatever will be will be !!!
Luna thanks for thinking of me its been 15mnths now since my mc and I do struggle with
it still only because I was stupid enough to think I would get a BFP real soon after it happened and now I am thinking maybe never again I feel so stupid for thinking it would be easy !!! But you can be sure I will be trying again and trying not to let it rule my life so much !!!
Matthews mum how you doing did you test yet ??? you been here in this boat longer than me its real tough at times isn't it !
Indias mum I know I should be greatful for the kids I have and you can be assured that I am its just the loss from last year was after 12 wks so I guess it was a real shock to the system as before the 12 wks I would have expected it !! anyhow I can assure you having lots of other kids doesn't make the pain any less, and I have 6 yrs between my first 2 and they have always been very close the age difference really is not an issue so try to relax on that front !!!
Everyone else thanks for being patient with me I am a silly old fool at times !!! don't tell everyone I just admitted that !!!
Alice: Yay on the snowbub! Broken sleep has always been a pg symptom for me, esp early pg. Hope it means something good for you too (not just stress!)
T-Hopes: how're you incubating? (I mean how are you?!!!)
India's mum: glad your dog is better. My parents' old dog was very ill and seemed on the verge of needing to 'go to the vets' but he rallied and had another few good weeks before we said goodbye. Hope your doggie gets a little more quality time too.
Saffy: good news on the $$ for the next cycle. Thanks for the good wishes.
Alice - Wonderful news! You deserve some good things after your shocking week. Sleeplessness is one of my biggest pregnancy symptoms so maybe that's why you are not sleeping so well. I have often ended up in a bath at one in the morning trying to relax
Crafty - good to see you are feeling better. I didn't mean to insinuate that having more kids made the pain any less as I'm well aware it's not. I just didn't want you to look back on your childbearing years and remember this past year and it's heartbreak more than the earlier years and their joy. I fully understand about the shock of losing one around 12 weeks because I've been there 3 times now. You really think it's going to make it when you get that far.
Alice - Whoo so happy you got a snowbub too Glad the sight was useful. The TWW is agonising but I seem to have figured that the symproms start later with IVF so try and stay calm, hard I know especially when you are not sleeping well. Pleeeease can I have your cake recipe . Have fun with your godson.
T- Hope- That is great numbers fo this early, awesome news.
Crafty - Glad to see you are feeling abit more positive.
Saffy - Awesome news that you can start your cycle soon. What meds are they giving you?
India'smum - It is so hard to focus on weight loss when so much of our focus is on TTC. I managed to drop 3kg since my last m/c. My FS said you are more likely to conceive if your body is in a state of weight loss rather than a state of weight gain (seems really illogical to me but that's the facts.) Good luck. So glad your dog has picked up too, I hope she stays well for a long while. My cruise is from Brisbane to Vanuatu and Neumia(?) for a week.
Ferrals- Been thinking about you all day.
AFM- Bit excited to day. My boobs have gone all veiny, I've been crampy and I have been nauseaous on and off all day. Don't want to get my hopes up too much but will test again in the morning
Ferrals?? I have to go at 4pm - hope we hear from you soon and holding my breath that it is good news xxxxx
Sunbeam, will PM you the recipe - I LOVE it and have made it a few times now and each time it gets better Did I mention I was a cake addict? It is my biggest weakness...sigh. I was thinking about you and the cruise and thinking how nice it will be for you to kick back with your lovely pg belly on a relaxing holiday. I'm so hopeful for you, keep testing 'cause I'm sure you're going to get a BFP. How're you finding the Clexane injections? Damn but that needle seems thick or blunt or something after the FSH injections! Still, I think it really helped me last time and I hope it's helping you too. Go the veiny boobs, cramps and nausea!! Fingers crossed
India's Mum - thanks, T-hopes and Possum both said the same thing - I hope you are all right! I was told not to have a bath so haven't done that and it is my usual way of relaxing so I am missing it. Hopefully tonight will be better.
Saffy, go the good kama!! That's great news about the next cycle not costing you much, we need all the help we can get with IVF it is so expensive (much worse in the US though so I'm grateful for that). Yah you can start soon x
Thanks T-hopes, I saw you have posted in the PAML thread with a new ticker - lovely to see you there after all this time and I hope a few more of us will be joining you soon (I was stalking Ferrals to see if she posted there first).
OK ladies, I have to go to Sydney now. Ferrals, you have lots of love from me, been thinking of you all day and hoping for the best. Will be back tomorrow to hear your news it is good. xx
I've been lurking since my first post but every time I go to post something I end up logging off because I hate labelling myself "LT TTC + MC", I don't know what it is, every time I see the heading I'm on the verge of bursting into tears.
Grats to those ladies who got their BFP recently and to those who received unwanted AF.
Thanks for everyones replies, I know I could go by myself but I feel in a way it's pressuring him. I know I can put my foot down and pretty much get my way and force him to do what I want but I've been very cautious not to do that in regards to another baby. I've asked him over and over if he's sure he wants another baby and the answer is always yes, I don't know, I'm just confused at the moment.
I'm very close to giving up, I've been stalking a friends wedding pics looking at my SIL who's pregnant with her 5th, I hate that she's pregnant, part because "why isn't it happening to us" but also for other reasons, which aren't really important but I'm finding it increasingly frustrating. DH's parent's are coming from Brisbane to stay with us at the end of the month and I know oldest SIL's pregnancy with be the hot topic.
I hate AF, I'm dreading the thought of it coming in 8-9 days. I'm at the point where I want to give up and have my IUD put back in just so I don't have to deal with it.
I hate that I have to keep our TTC secret from my mum because she doesn't approve. Every time I know she's coming I have to hide everything, delete the internet history and so on, why can't I just say "mum we're trying for a 3rd and if you don't like it, that's just tough!", why do I let this woman control me!
Sorry I'm ramblingly here, well I started vitex but just one tablet a day until this bottle runs out then I'll go to the 3 a day. Also looking into royal jelly and maca powder onto of my black mores conceive well gold. Also changed my DH onto menevit instead of his performance daily, was going to try sperm max but the lady said menevit might be better to improve quality considering he's over 30, it was also cheaper which is a plus. Also getting him to cut out his daily coffee milks, he's really reduced his smoking on the champix so hopefully that will stop completely very soon. Now all I have to do it get him off coke and for me to lose some weight, which is a whole new set of hurdles.
Sorry it's turned into a bit of a novel
The luckiest of lucky and stickiest of sticky to everyone.
Hi girls thankyou so much for thinking of me it means a lot.
Anyway so far there is no sign of any abnormalities bub looks normal and healthy the u/s tech said the heart is still a little small to see everything but so far it looks normal there were no extra fingers on the hands and the feet look normal to one was a little hard to see bub wouldnt stop figiting which is a good sign.
The little bugger wriggled and moved so it wasnt easy to have a look but she said the next scan on the 18th should be more accurate.
The bub was measuring a few days behind my 7 week u/s dates but she said there is always room for slight variations a millimeter or two can mean a few days on u/s so i am relieved.
We need to see the geneticist to be find out if its possible that bub can still have SLO without obvious abnormalities which is a scarey thought but we will cross that bridge when we get to it but for now we things are looking positive.
Even though we are not home free yet i can see the finish line.
And they had a look at bubs bits and we have a little GIRL on the way Abbi has sent us her little sister.
Sorry for no persies i didnt get much sleep so i am off for a bath and will pop back in later.
Alice woohoo on your snow baby and your two little embies on board. Sending you loads of
Sunbeam I have everything crossed for you its a BFP when you test.
possum magic I did get ovary pain both sides although I could tell which ovary the egg came from as that pain would be worse. But they definately both niggled and at times the pain was excrutiating.
Saffy great news your next cycle is so affordable.
toomanyshoes thats a shame you can't share your jouney with your mum. I guess if she wont be helpful best she doesn't know until bub is on his/her way. FX that is soon.
to everyone I have missed.
Well I am still thinking of you all and praying with all I have you all about to get your sticky BFP's. Still keeping a low profile.
Possum Magic - I rarely used to get O pains at all till all of this. I sometimes get it one side and sometimes both. I think sometimes it can mean that both ovaries will O but generally follicles develop on both ovaries and then one becomes dominant and the others decrease again so you may just be feeling the follicles developing or deminishing. A thin lining will affect implantation. If you are worried about your lining then you might want to think about doing IUI to concieve as this is something they monitor regularly . Chinese medice/ acupuncture is another option as they focus very much on blood/circulation/cleansing etc
Alice - I am not on Clexane only low dose asprin. Is is for blood thining?
AFM - Got another BFN this morning so I'm out of the running . Not doing anything till next month now as I'm away at the end of this month. I'm okay now but was pretty upset this morning and having very negative thoughts about never having a child. If Donor daddy agrees we wll do another stim cycle in Nov. and if this does not work we will then use up our frozen bubs. It is so scary getting this close to the end of the road and really having to accept that it may never happen!
Sunbeam-have you had a blood test yet?? DOn't give up hope yet lovey, theres still a chance! If not, I'm glad you have a plan for next time ( you are good at that). Also, clexane is used for the same purpose as aspirin, it is a blood thinner so you shouldn't need both. I hope you don't feel too down, if theres hope for you there is hope for me so we have to stay positive and know we will get our babies xxx
Possummagic- I get O pain on both sides all the time all throughout my cycle, ever since the miscarriage. I really don't think it is anything sinister as I've had a few ultrasounds and no one has ever said anything was abnormal. Before my miscarriage, I was the same as you, I used to just get twinges on one side when I o'd for a few hours. Our bodies are wierdos lol.
Crafty- hmmmm, you are not out of the running either it seems, hope you defy the odds and get a sneaky one in, we seem to be on a roll here! FX! xx
Toomanyshoes-hey, nice to see you again! Sorry you feel so down, hopefully time will improve things, I was really depressed at the start of the year and it took me a while to fee better, now I just have ups and downs but on a whole am great, so I wish the same for you. Your DH sounds quite commited with giving up fags etc! Good on him, I tried to get mine to stop drinking during our last cycle and he wouldn't!!! Maybe i should nag him a bit more lol! Hope you feel like popping ina bit more xxx
ALice- how was Sydney? How was your sleep last night? I hope you got some!
THopes- hi hunny, how are you going?? xx
Hi to Mildez, Porsche, Ferals, Matthewsmum, India;smum, Luna
AFM- picked up my meds yesterday, finish the pill next Sunday then jabbing the week after, so soon, exciting!
Sunbeam so sorry its a BFN but how many days past trans are you ? maybe too early FX still untill AF shows your not out ! I am sure dd will do one more cycle with you if you need to he has been with you all this time another month isn't too much to ask is it !
saffy not long now then till you get on the IVF cycle good luck taking the pill ( my body was never very good on it )
Mildez Hi glad your still checking in on us all hope I get to join you on the paml thread before you deliver !!!
AFM well day 30 today and still no AF no headaches either which I normallly get when she is on her way, so I tested again and BFN again why do I do this to myself I don't know when its ovbious I am not pg, anyhow don't feel too bad considering how I felt the other day so hopefully my mood stays good and strong and onwards to next months cycle when AF desides to turn up ( guess I need to get the white trousers out lol )
