oh you're kidding, Ferrals that's unbelievable. Maybe if they had to give the sample they'd be more careful :protest: I'm so sorry Ferrals, I don't know what to say, it is just ****ty bad luck and you've had more than your fair share, damn it. :grouphug: xxx
OMG Ferrals, I am so sorry :( Maybe it is fate saying that everything is fine with bubs and that the test is meaningless? I do hope so!
Sunbeam- I guess I wont be forgetting your birthday anytime soon lol mine is tomorrow ^_^ I just wish that I had the birthday present that I wanted the most but nope another 9day LP :angry: my last 5 LPs have had lengeths of 9, 9, 9, 5 and 9! And yes you are right. A longer LP is needed to be able to concieve. I recon that if it were longer than this month I would have been UTD especially with the way AF is acting :(
Ferrals - That is just ridiculous how can they be so bl*#dy careless. Were they at least sincerly apologetic? How can the universe find so many ways to test our strength!
Alice- That'd be great if you could ask your TVM practitioner but if Ferrals took it no probs I might just start it again even just 1/2 tablet, all it does is level out my progesterone, I just can't feel this apathetic for weeks. The dietry thing is tricky. I can't have much dairy because I am lactose intolerent and I have ignored this fact for a fair while but it causes inflamation in the body and stops me absorbing nutrients so well. I also can't have heaps of soy or tofu as it affects your estrogen levels, eggs is pretty much it right now. I'm glad you me and T-Hopes will be IVF/IUI buddies.
Jupiter - Welcome to our thread I hope you will find as much caring support her as I do.
Damprye - :birthday2: Happy Birthday for tomorrow. I'm sorry you are not getting the present you hoped for. I felt bad on my birthday that it was two years on and I still did not have what I had wished for for the last 2 years. Lets just pray we do by our next birthday. What can be done to help lengthen your LP, surely there must be something?
Sunbeam, I am the same with dairy and with soy and tofu - I've been having rice milk with chickpea as added protein and sometimes oat milk just to break things up. I eat a small amount of tofu but not much - maybe every two weeks or so. Eggs are great, thank god I'm not allergic to them. Every time I have dairy I get my rash back (all over stomach and back). Feel so much better not having it now and don't really miss it. I was a vego for 12 years and a vegan for 5 of them in my teens/twenties so it was OK. Having said that, I'm eating a lot of meat (mostly chicken and fish) so just a bit worried for you on how you'll go. I do agree that it would be good to get some help from a dietitian if you can. There is a great cookbook a friend loaned to me at the beginning of all this that would be perfect for you - it even has shopping lists and six weeks of recipes including breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'll find out the name and PM you.
Damprye, happy birthday for tomorrow x
Thanks for the birthday wishes :) even without a babe in my belly I think today is going to be a great day. It has been so far :D
I went out for my birthday dinner last night and me and DP are back together :loveshower: This morning he just lay there tightly embracing me for an hour, it was so sweet of him :inlove: and tonight I go on a river cruise :partysmiley:
I hope everyone else has a good day today as well :)
Hi Ladies
I've got lots to catch up on.
Ferrals - OMG what a very careless thing to do. This isn't a glass of milk that is spilt this is your future in that petrie dish. What a sh*tty thing to happen.
Sunbeam - I'm so glad you are back. I hope your jabbing goes well. Oh and a belated Happy Birthday!
Alice - I'm so glad you made up with DH. Hormones are such crazy things and stupid DH's don't make it any easier.
Saffy - FB suxs. I don't have a FB or myspace account anymore and I'm so glad I don't. Is that all she wanted you to join for? So she could anounce her pregnancy. Stupid cow. Big hug for you.
Damprye - Happy birthday to you as well. It's onwards and upwards now.
Jupiter - Welcome these ladies are a god send if your going through this journey.
Hi lovely ladies,
Ferals- that is just appalling :o you poor thing. (Would hate to be the person having to break that news to you, I bet they were drawing straws) I agree with Damprye- it is fate and your baby will be ok. I would definately not have another cvs- too risky. Thanks for your words of wisdom to me.
porsche- thanks, how is everything going for you? Good I hope xx
Sunbeam-what drugs are you jabbing?
Alice- did you make a cake? How did the blood test go?
Damprye-:confetti: happy birthday honey, glad it is shaping up nicely for you and DP, enjoy your river cruise adn don't think about TTC!
Jupiter-:hello: welcome lovey, sorry you have had such a horrendous TTC experience, hope we can help you through to a happy and healthy pregnancy. Good luck! P.S. whats a flare cycle???
Hi Crafty, Matthewsmum ( hope you have found us again), Mildez if you are lurking.
AFM- had a crap time at work last night, I really think I am :pms: atthe moment. Work is often stressful and I usually can cope with it but this week I have been on the verge of tears every shift. I probably need a break I haven't had annual leave at all since Jan and even though I only work 3 days a week I think I'm not coping. I tried to talk to DH about it last night but he is still:cold: so is wallowing in his own misery.
hi all!
Ferrals - unbelievable!! that makes me so angry so i cant begin to imagine how you feel!! xx
Just a quickie and will post again later.... but afm - One of the 3 lead follies dropped off which is good - 1 x 17mm and 1 x 13mm, had a BT yesterday and no surge yet so the plan is IUI on Monday but had more BT this morning so that will give us a clear indication! Does anyone know if Puregon can cause shortness of breath?? Its awful! Feel like my lungs are up in my throat!! Eik!!! Maybe im just anxious!! Who knows!
Love to you all and will catch up on everyones news tonight, sorry if i have missed anything xx
Hi all
Its not that easy to find everyone after this last week but in the end I got there !!! phew couldn't stand loosing BB again !
Ferrals sorry you had a dumb ass dropping your sample hope its still enough to give your peace of mind !
T-hopes FX all is well for your IUI on monday this is your month girl !
Damphre Happy Birthday !
Saffy I am with you don't know what my body is upto had more spotting yesterday but not too much but something I am suposed to be day 10 but have no idea if I am or not so will just have to DTD as much as possible every few days ! sure DH won't mind but he has had a bad cold and been moaning for over a week now shame ( why do men have it worse than we do ? )
Sunbeam Happy Birthday for the other day another year older and wiser I think !!! so glad you have bounced back he who dares wins ! Thanks for asking the house is great still sorting my craft room out but getting there slowly keep looking at all the baby stuff though wondering if I will ever need it again !! Wish I could hide it somewhere ! but in another way keep touching it and praying it gives me strength for just one more !
Alice wow you are so good sticking to your diet I prob should be eating less carbo and stuff but I am weak when the kids eat cake and biscuits I have one too ! DH is worse than me !
Porsche nice to see your name again hope your doing ok
ANYONE GOT ANY NEWS OF DORY !
Hello to all you lucky pregnant stalkers out there I know your watching us !!!!!
T-hopes, yes, it can cause shortness of breath and you need to tell the nurses when they speak to you today so that they know. Don't panic about it, I've had it before too, and you'll be OK they need to know so that they you don't overstimulate you. Drink LOTS of water. That's great news about the IUI on Monday!! Very exciting and hope you are our first BFP on the new thread!! Fingers crossed xx
Saffy, I'm sorry you had a horrible time at work last night :hug: and that you are having bad PMT. The tears are totally understandable - I know it always seems to take me a few weeks to regroup after the disappointment of things not working out with a cycle. Can you have some time off? Sorry your DH is still sick too - I hope he feels better soon. :hug:
Porsche, glad you found us again! How are you??
Damprye, that sounds like a lovely start to your birthday. Have a great night - hope you have a clear sky and lots of stars shining on you tonight
AFM, day 2, nothing to report, bt this Sunday morning then see how I'm going with this dose. Hopefully well and hopefully don't need to go up again.
Hi to everyone xx
Hello lovely Crafty - we posted at the same time. I have been good but now we're so close I could throw it all and put my head in a bucket of chocolate and drown happy!!
PS Had news from Dory yesterday - she was still waiting waiting waiting for this bub to arrive and felt like time was standing still now she'd made it to 39 weeks. So must be any time now!!
Hi lovelies
Thank you for all the happy birthday messages.
Alice - Thank you for the book recomendation, I have also decided to try and get into a dietitian will get a referral from my GP tomorrow.
Damprye - Happy birthday babe glad you are having a lovely day.
Saffy - I'm on Puregon 300 per day.
T-Hopes - Whoo! See I told you all 3 would not keep up the same pace. The 17mm one will be good and ready by monday, I hope the other one is too.
Crafty - Glad the move went well. You must get the craft room sorted, most important room in the house ;). I am crocheting a white blanket at the moment because the psychic kepts seeing one when I saw her so I am making it, I am calling it my Hope blanket.
Have a great weekend ladies. I have a 3 week old baby staying tonight whoo baby cuddles:dance:
aww girls - i just got hit with another preg announcement, i feel so physically ill i could throw up! IM so jealous, angry, upset, bitter... its so not fair! i have been expecting this one for a while but still craps me off! they have been together for the shortest time and of course they get it so easily! sorry got the vent just feel really down :(
BUt i have to push that aside cause i need to stay positive! Spoke to nurse today and i will Trigger tomorrow night at 10.30pm and IUI Monday at 2.30pm!! Deep breath!
alice - thanks i will tell my nurse tomorrow when i have next BT - it got so bad earlier but i thought it was maybe anxiety! it was yuk, felt like someone was crushing my chest, so tight!
hi ladies,thinking of you all,i decided to have a month of the ivf meds,thought i'd give my family a time out from my mood swings,going to see a oesteopath tomorrow who specialises in fertility issues,been reading a bit about the wurn treatment they do in america to unblock tubes...
Matthew's Mum- You are such a strong woman! At each turn you look for new ways to help improve your situation to ensure the survival of you family and to bring that long awaited babe into the world. For that I congratulate you :clap:
T-Hopes- It is so hard when you hear yet another announcement like that. One of the girls from my mother's group announced that she is six weeks today... all I could think was "That would have been me by now if my body wasn't so f***ed up." Like all of us in here, you have every right to feel completely and utterly p***ed off at the fact that they can fall so easily and yet it be so hard for us that want...NEED it more than them. The positive out of it though, is that when we finally create our little sticky beans, is that we will appreciate every moment we have together and treasure each moment as if it were our last :) Glad to hear that it looks like IUI will still be going ahead.
Sunbeam- In your blanket of hope, will your baby one day lay and find comfort from.
Alice- Drowning in a giant tub of chocolate icecream sounds just wonderful lol. When do you find out the results of your blood tests?
Crafty- Shall we hang a :ttc: sign up for you? :p Isn't it funny how even when you both have the exact same cold/flu/any sickness the men always seem to wallow in their own self pity and believe that they have it soooo much worse... yet us women just try and get on with our days knowing that there are things that must be done and only after we have finished that we allow ourselves the rest we need to recover? lol
Saffy- Sometimes even a little break is all that we need to be able to get back to it. Perhaps request a week off or find a doc that will write you up a doctors certificate to say that you are sick for a week ;) Just act as bad as DH :p
Porsche, Ferrals, Jupiter and anyone else I have missed- :grouphug: and hope you are doing well.
AFM- Had a wonderful time on the cruise and enjoying the fact that AF is being a lot nicer than what she was yesterday. I do not think today could have gone any better TBH. Sure it would have been nice to DTD on my B'Day lol but I wouldn't have given up this mornings cuddles for the world :hug: Well I guess it is technically the day after now but I still havn't gone to bed lol. On my way to do so now though. Night all.
T-Hope & Damprye-i know that feeling it is just f#cking horrible when we try so hard for what we really want and don't seem to be able to get it my family should have been completed last year with the birth of Abbi and i should be playing happy families right now if it wasnt for DH and i carrying this bad gene i felt like i would never see those 2 lines again and now i feel like i will never have a healthy baby and the feeling of others getting pregnant when we so deserve it just makes the whole thing worse.
My DH's ex has another new boyfreind the 4th in 3 years and every time she gets a new boyfreind DH's daughter ( who is 9) comes over and say's i hope mum gets pregnant soon so i can have a brother or sister (she has no blood related other than Abbi if she were alive) and it makes my heart drop because she was so excited when i was pregnant and couldnt stop talking about it and when we lost Abbi the poor little bugger had to go to counciling at school because she didnt cope very well then she kept asking me when are you going to have another baby we had to end up telling her we are not going to have any more we have brought the 2 kittens insted we had to tell her that to protect her from getting her hopes up with something that might never happen and when she came over the other day and anounced that her mum has taken her pregnancy bar out of her arm (her words) i nearly hypoventilated it is something i want to do so much for her i want to give her a brother or sister i have this dream to surprise her with the news when we get the all clear and i am so worried that her mum will get pregnant and take that away from me i pray this baby is healthy for us and for our family but so much more for DH's daughter.
My boys have each other and DH's daughter's biggest wish is to have one of her own.
It is a hard journey this ttc and even harder when pregnancy announcements are thrown in our face but we need to keep going and do our best that is all we can do and just hope that luck is on our side for once.
Sorry for rambling.
AFM-just plotting along counting the days until i can finally breath a sigh of relief.
I was laying on my belly last night and felt bub it felt like a bunch of worms wriggling around in my belly it was awesome this baby has to be healthy it all seems to good to go wrong.
damprye-thanks,i'm glad you had a nice birthday...ferrals-hope the councilling helped dh's daughter,the poor thing,i think sometimes people forget that siblings suffer a big loss too when a bub dies,hope she is enjoying playing little mummys real soon.
Hi all
It's nice to see everything back up and running. I tried to get onto BB for 2 days to see how Ferrals CVS went and couldn't do it. I was shocked to hear they dropped your sample Ferrals. I would imagine they were very distressed about that in the lab but that doesn't make things better for you. I hate that about a complex pregnancy. There are so many ups and downs. One second there is hope and the next it's compromised again. I really do believe that signs look very positive for you this time though
Alice - I also check often to see how Dory is doing. It's hard to believe it will be any day now. It's is so exciting.
Sunbeam - Happy Birthday for the other day. The blanket sounds like a good idea. I can picture you with a big fat pregnant belly and the rug over your knees all cosy and dreaming of your life together.
Hi Saffy, Damprye, Matthew's Mum and Crafty
I had my scan the other day to see if there were complications that could be causing the miscarriages. I am yet to go back to the FS but the operator told me she couldn't see anything that would contribute and she did say that I had lots of eggs left. Can they see that? She even told me where I was going to ovulate from and around what day that would occur which is very handy as I am not getting the usual physical signs for ovulation.
My family wants me to commit to a holiday in Bali next February but if I get pregnant I'm not sure I should go. Do you think travel before 20 weeks is a dangerous thing? I don't really want to miss out on the holiday as it would be a fantastic trip and many of the family have expressed interest. I may not even get pregnant. Should I book and accept I may lose money if I cancel?
hi everyone!
matthewsmum - good luck with your research, i have never heard of that treatment! i will have to do some googling! good on you for having a break this month, your very strong & i pray that the break is all you need to get ready for the following cycle xx
ferrals - its such a yuk feeling isnt it?! I used to be one of those ppl who got so excited to hear of pregnant women and would be the 1st to congratulate them, now im rocking somewhere in the corner when i hear the news!! How i wish things were different! Thats very sad that DH's daughter had a hard time with it, the poor darling, so hard cause they dont understand it all! But she is about to become a sister! Bubs is going to be ok, so wonderful that you felt a wriggle!!! :D
dampyre - happy bday for the other day, thank you for your words, you all help me so much! hope your having fun cruising!
sammyp - tricky situation for you huh.... if i was in your position, i would definatly book for the holiday! I think it gives you something to look forward to and focus on! If it does turn out that your UTD in February and your not comfortable going, then dont! It would be a good problem to have if you know what i mean!? BUT i dont see any reason why you couldnt go away UTD anyway, as long as your FS is happy, relax and have a happy babymoon and special quality time with your fam!!!! xx
Sunbeam - yes you were right!!! You are an 'eggspert' hehhe! How are those new baby cuddles going?? Awww!! And lovely idea about your hope blanket!! Love it!
ALice - thx alice, it has eased off now thank god! was a bit scary! i took your advice and drank lots of water and i think that helped! thank you! And yay for the jabbing!! i have found this cycle has gone so fast cause there are different things everyday! I like it! Scans one day, BT then next! Its all happening!! Good luck for ur BT tomorrow!!!
crafty - how are things with you? loving the new home? how are things with your son, the baby would be due soon yeh? how are you feeling about it all? i hope its getting a little easier xx
Mildez, Porsche, happybaby - how are you all?
Jupiter - welcome, sorry to hear of your loss and the tuff road you have been on! I hope we can help you thru the hard times and celebrate with you thru the good times! xx
saffy - how you feeling? has AF arrived in full flow?? or still spot? Are you testing? I think it sounds like you need a good holiday!! No time off since Jan!! Girl are you crazy!! Treat yourself!! You know you deserve it!!!
AFM - all good here, had more BT this morning and still no surge which is great so all on target to trigger tonight! had acupuncture today so feeling relaxed! feeling a little better about my UTD friend, or maybe just more excepting! DH and i have decided not to do another IUI cycle next mth, just going to go straight to IVF, dont wanna waste and more time with it, gunna get straight to it! Ive responded so well to the puregon so the nurse said in theory we should have a great result with IVF in terms of follies! Anyway, gives me a new focus for next mth! New plan!!!
Enjoy the weekend all xx
