matthew'smum: thats good news for you, are you defrosting 2 embies ? fingers crossed they cope well with thawing
saffy or luna: have you tested again ?
afm: no news, bbs still sore 8dpo now, im sure i will be bleeding by sat afternoon, in one way it has been good i feel down and out this cycle, at least im not analysing every little twinge and symptom like i usually would !
minnie- I feel the same I had a meltdown last weekend and knew I wasn't going to get utd so this week has been good, I have felt very calm. I did another poas today just to prove to everyone lol and bfn so I am going to go in tomorrow and get my bt over with.My boobs are getting less sore so I think Iwill have AF by Sat as well, then on to the OCP for my stim.
indiasmum- you should be 6 wks soon?? Everyday drags at this stage doesn't it?

thanks ladies...minniemouse-i have two in the freezer,they defrost one ,scientists can usually tell within half an hour if it is going to survive,if not they'll defrost the next one. Hope i don't end up with nothing to transfer on the day...saffy -sorry it was a bfn again this morning,but best of luck with new stim cycle(hope money doesn't hold things up for you)...
I did another POAS just to prove to everyone too, and BFP again. I even cracked the digital test open to see if there is a shadow of a line inside, but nothing. Hopefully AF shows up tomorrow and won't keep me on teterhooks anymore, because at this point if I get a BFP, it will not be good news.
India's mum - way to go! You give me hope.
Matthew's mum - fingers crossed for the embies.
Saffy - I am glad to hear you have a game plan already, in case your BFN sticks for this cycle.
minniemouse - when are you testing? Are you doing HPT, or getting a BT?
luna: did you mean you got a bfn ? im sure i will be bleeding sometime over the weekend, if by some miracle that doesn't happen i will probably test monday (12 dpo)
saffy: yep thats exactly how i feel, rather resigned to the whole thing and quite down (have a lot of other stuff going on). so once you start the pill is it 6 weeks til you get to egg retrieval or not that long ?
matthewsmum: thats interesting about them knowing so quick if the embie will survive, fingers crossed for you
Saffy - even though you expect the worse, good luck for your blood test tomorrow. I am six weeks today.
Luna - Sorry about your BFP. Are you concerned if a line appears from this point on that it means another ectopic?
Hello to all the other ladies here. I'm thinking of you and hoping for BFP's that are just around the next corner.
minniemouse - yes, of course I meant BFN... BFN, BFN, BFN. You can just tell my heart's desire from my slip, can't you. And now I got AF too, so no doubts left. I wish you that it turns out differently for you, that you get this miracle and BFP on Monday.
India's Mum - yes, I would be concerned that it is another ectopic, but I do not have to worry about it at this time :-). I cannot believe I am actually relieved to get @, but I will be travelling out of the country for the next 3 weeks and I really would not want to worry about ectopic in a foreign country with a foreign language.
Saffy, Matthew's mum - waiting for your news.
Looks like I am taking unwanted break in TTC again, due to this trip (work, so without husband). I will not get a chance to TTC next cycle, *sigh*
Hi girls,
Saffy: have u tested again today ? I hope you get your blood test today
Luna: sorry to hear u got af & now have to take an enforced break, so frustrating, especially as it will probably be the 'good' side you ovulate from this month !!
Afm: no surprises here, got backache & blood on wiping this morning so af is nearly here, the only surprise for me was I didn't even make it to 10 dpo this time
Luna- thats frustrating, why does missing one month feel like a lifetime to us?? It would be scary to be overseas thinking you might have an actopic. Sorry af came anyway.xx
Inida'smum- woohoo!!! 6 weeks!! Aren't you due to go to Bali soon? i remember when you booked it and thought what if I am utd? And you are!!
Minnie-I thinkthe nurse said I would start injections on 10th March so it would be about 6 wks until a pickup. Better start doing some extra shifts! And get healthy!
matthewmum- best of luck for transfer sunday, i will be away until then so will come back and see how you went xxx
AFM- af arrived this morning- right on cue- we are going away for a few nights, I always get af when we go somewhere, argh! At least I can go in and have my BT, and have a glass of wine tonight. xxx
Hi all
saffy sorry AF turned up FX for next time its so damn hard isn't it this waiting and waiting ! ( I used to be able to get utd but not anymore ! ) not the last 18mnths anyway and boy have I tried !
enjoy your days away and rest and relax !
Matthews mum FX for your embie and the transf goes well for you Boy you waited and waited this month but got there in the end . Stupid lady saying what she did, she obviously has not been in our situation and is speaking out of her a#se ! I have the same thoughts as you and I have had my fair share of kids really but the pain of loss will never be healed until I get my BFP and neither will yours so ignore her and concentrate on yourself we are all here for you !
Indias mum yay for the scan FX it all settles now but I am sure you will worry worry for a good few months yet I know you will but be strong and beleive in yourself !
Luna sorry for the BFN ( thought you must be crazy for a mo then realized your mean,t BFN lol !!!!
minniemouse what will be will be just be brave and kind if its a BFN we will be here for you !
afm well AF finally left but she did hang around for 6 days and thats unusual for me I am normally a 3 day girl ! anyhow onwards and upwards I think the saying goes ( feels like down down down sometimes )
Had my wedding anniversary yesterday 22yrs wow did I really put up with him for that long ? lol more like the poor guy putting up with me ! my 46th birthday is looming so I am very concious that this is about it for me only if I am very very luck will I get another BFP but I will try my hardest for a bit longer, I have to don't know how to give up and say no more !
keep well ladies and keep trying we will get there in the end the PAML thread I mean !!!
crafty: thanks but af arrived this morning, i posted up a bit. i think i feel a bit the way you do, i have 2 children but don't really want to end my "reproductive years" on 3 miscarriages, i don't understand why that had to happen, couldn't i have just been left with my 2 and not been teased with more babies that i wasn't allowed to keep, i don't get it
Matthewsmum- did your transfer go ok?? Hope you have a little embie inside, snuggling in xxxx
Minnie- sorry for af, did your dr think the clomid would help your luteal phase?
Hi everyone else, had a good weekend away, cleared the air with DH about our fighting and we are getting along much better
Hope everyone had a great weekend
xxxx
yeah matthewsmum how did you go ?
saffy: good to hear you had a good weekend away and cleared there air, ttc long term is so stressful, especially on those closest too you. when do you start your stimulated cycle ?
Thinking of you Matthew's Mum. Hope the transfer went well.
Saffy - pleased to hear you and DH and getting along better. TTC has caused problems and arguments for us as well.
AFM - I slept most of this weekend. So very tired.
hi all,thanks for thinking of me...1st embryo defrosted survived the thaw,so still got 1 in freezer,had acupuncture before & after transfer,got another acupuncture session tomorrow..had some cramping & the slightest bit of spotting when i got home(probably from the procedure)but of course hoping implantation,so have spent most of my time since transfer laying down.
WOW Matthewsmum- sounds great, I hope so much it was implantation, FX for you and your little one xxxxxxx
India'smum- hmmmm, good symptom of pregnancy!! Hope yu can rest up xx
minniemouse-I'm on the pill and start injections on the 10 march i think, need to do a lot of extra shifts to help the bank balance in the meantime!
matthewsmum: hope that little embie survived the thaw and i hope it is snuggling in tight
india'smum: great to hear things to be progressing well, when will you have another scan ?
saffy: do you work full time ? how do manage working around your ivf treatment ? cause you don't know exactly when you need to go into the clinic in advance right ?
afm: day 3 of clomid, quite down about it all, im really not sure i can move onto "full" ivf, at the moment im only thinking as far as the injections and still dtd at home, will re think things after that if no success
thanks ladies...saffy-remember you can claim some money back from medicare & maybe health fund if your in one(know it's not all that much,but every little bit helps)...minniemouse-hope 'o' comes round quicker this time for you...afm-seen acupuncturist again,i didn't know bananas were bad for you after transfer,were always learning things aren't we?also she said if i get any spotting or cramping she'll mix me up some concoction which may help..
FX matthewsmum hope your embie is burrowing in for the long ride ahead !
saffy glad you had a good weekend away clear the air a bit onwards and upwards as they say !
minniemouse take it a day at a time you will make the decision when you need to either way !
afm just trucking along waiting for signs of ovulation nothing as yet !
hi girls,
crafty- hope you don't have to wait to long, all we seem to do is wait, wait, wait, good luck xxx
minniemouse- I only work 3 shifts a week, but do extra shifts if its convenient. We decided it would be impossible to work more and do ivf, my workplace has been very understanding and my NUM is supportive and gives me time off at short notice. I have no idea how people work fulltime and do ivf, esp people who go back to work straight after transfers etc. Someone I work with who is 40 or 41, did the injections and dtd, and it worked for her, so maybe that would be good for you xxx
matthewsmum- I've already got my rebate! It came really quickly, and I've factored that in, thanks for the reminder. Why are bananas bad? I've never heard it and eat them a lot, although maybe not as much now they will be scarce! Are you still getting cramping? I have a feeling this one will work for you xxxx
Indiasmum- I'm so glad things are going ok, you must still feel like you are in limbo :hug: good luck for your scan it must be coming up soon xxx
sunbeam- hope things are going well for you and that we will see you soon xx
luna-hope your trip is going ok xxx
loops- did you have a good birthday, hope dh is on the mend xxx
afm- on the pill, appt next week with FS, just waiting. babydust to everyone xxx
saffy-i was surprised about the bananas as well,she said it was something to do with being a damp food and the spleen doesn't like damp foods,and the spleen plays a big part in the blood in your body,she also said to stay away from avocados & nuts....craftymummy-sending lots of 'o' vibes...afm-not cramping as much,more of a tingling sensation??might be all the acupuncture i've had this time,no spotting..Need to shave my legs,but to scared to bend over..went shopping yesterday & when bend over to get something from the bottom shelf,got a bit of a sharp pain
Hi Lovely Ladies
Matthews Mum ~ hope your lil one is snuggling in nice and tight and stays there for the next 9months, :pray: Hope the spotting was a great sign. Never heard of bananas being bad either - thanks for sharing that.
India's mum ~ I too hope the tiredness is a good sign, GL and FX'd!
Minniemouse ~ Hugs hun, hope the Clomid works! :crossfingers:
Craftymummy ~ GL with O'ing, hope you catch that eggy
Saff ~ Thanks for asking about my b'day and DH, yep had a good time. DH is doing very well, on the mend. GL with your FS appointment and this cycle, FX'd tight this is the one for you!!
Hi to anyone I've missed. Sending out loads of :stickyvibesgirl::bluedust:
AFM ~ Nothing new to report. Its our 4th year wedding anniversary today, despite everything that has been happening we will celebrate that we have each other and the wonderful 4 yrs we've been married. AS soon as DH is out of his neck brace we are going to go away for a nice weekend, before he goes back to work. We did manage to get one quiet round of B'Ding in which was hard with DH's brace etc (sorry if TMI) but he was keen to try and because I was ovulating we had a go LOL. So hoping once will be enough - highly doubtful but you just never know I guess, can always hope =)
evening all ,loops12-thanks,they say you only need once,best of luck...afm-got some cervical mucus happening,still clear in colour though,so hoping to get a bfp,so scared of bfn again..
hi everyone,
matthewsmum: how are you going ? any symptoms ? will you test ? i hope the little one is snuggling in
saffy: how are you going with you cycle ?
loops: i hope you had a good anniversary and fingers crossed your luck changes and this cycle is a good one
crafty: what are you up to ?
hi to india's mum, Luna and Possum magic, hope you are all ok
afm: nothing to tell really, day 10 or 11, can't remember which and can't see my own ticker, anyway nothing is happening yet, i think it will probably be another 12 + days until i ovulate
hi minniemouse,got some stuff happening ,clinic have said it could still go either way,cm had red streaks through it,then turned a brownish colour,then i had some light bleeding on wiping,it seems to be gone now & cm is back to a creamy colour.Had cramping on & off as well.Seeing acu tomorrow,she is going to start me on a herbal mixture..Dont think i'll poas ,don't feel strong enough to see another 1 liner at the moment...are you still considering acu for your long cycles?...thinking of you all
hi girls-
minniemouse- you are day 11- (I can see your ticker lol). My cycle is just in the waiting stage, on the pill, nothing much else, can't even try naturally cos I'm on the pill.
Can't believe you have to wait so long to O, how frustrating!
matthewsmum- I hope they are positive signs, the fact the spotting has stopped is excellent I think, could be a sticky one, I am crossing my fingers very tightly, when is your blood test? Don't poas yet, it is too soon and you don't want the disappointment esp if its a false neg. xxxx
Loops- imagine if you get utd from BDing with DH in a neck brace! Great story to tell your kids!! Enjoy your weekend away when you go! xxx
hi everyone else, hope all is well, Indias'mum??? everything on track I hope xx
AFM- nothing exciting, on the pill, seeing FS tomorrow to discuss my progesterone problem, had a fun weeknd with freinds over for a bbq, so tired now though. I think its 17 days til I start injections-hurry up!!
matthewsmum - my fingers are so tightly crossed that your BFP is close. Praying for you and your embie xx
saffy - hoping the next 17days fly by for you! :)
Crafty - hope your keeping well xx
t-hopes-nice of you to pop in,hope things are growing well with you...saffy-bt is on the 25th,goodluck with fs,it'll be interesting what he has got to say about progesterone...
Hi all FX matthesmum its about time you got your bfp and got outa here weve been here toooo long !
saffy 17 days will fly by then you will be trying again and hopefully a bfp when youv'e had a chat with your specialist >
Minnie mouse thanks for asking about me I am ok thanks just trucking along and hopefully catch that egg if I get one this month !
T-hopes hi there I am ok still praying for a miracle !
afm well not sure what day I am on but been dtd every 2nd day but feels so much like a chore these days think I really am sick of TTC !
craftymummy-thanks,very much wanting to get out of this thread,taking all of you with me...afm-i might be getting left behind again this month as i have had some more blood streaked cm.My eldest is turning 19 tomorrow,so on with the happy face(for her sake),i feel so old
Matthewsmum your not too old at all if you were then I would be too and I am not so lets just get the job done and get on out of here ! I have known you since sept 09 when I first joined the thread and I was the oldest one on here then and still am I think ( 46 in april ) I have a son of nearly 26 and 19 so I know how you feel but hey thats cause we had them young lol !!!
I do hope the cm blood streaked is a good sign for you ! I am quitely hopefull it is in fact implantation so FX and blood test soon will tell you for sure !
Its been really hot here in Perth and yesterday I felt so ill in the arvo bad headache,weak,sick feeling and sooo tired so not sure if its just the heat as we have no aircon and it was 33 in the house with the fan on, anyhow DH has assured me we will be getting aircon fitted on monday next week and if by some miracle I get a BFP then I can at least keep a bit cooler !
I bought a new baby gift for a friend of mine who just had her boy 2 wks ago in the UK but just can't seem to post it ! I want it for me ! is that really selfish of me am I going round the twist hanging on to something I can never use again ?????:confused:
hello ladies,
matthewsmum- sorry you keep having bleeds but don't give up, indiasmum had the same and still got a bfp, I really hope you can hang on til tomorrow for your BT, fingers crossed for you sweetie, I really hope things go ok xxxx
crafty-hope you get your aircon soon, heat isn't something we have had to deal with much in Victoria this summer!! I know I hate buying people baby things nd never being able to buy any myself, I feel like i am always buying cards and baby gifts, it is difficult xxx
minniemouse- how are you going? Have you ovulated yet?
THopes- thanks mate, xxx
HI to Loops, Indiasmum, Sunbeam, I've missed someone I think? hope all is well,
afm- had my FS appt, I wasn't very happy when I came out but am over it now. He doesn't have very good listening skills, lets put it that way. He didn't really think I have a progesterone problem ( I don't agree) but agreed to put me on double dose of crinone next time and if I do an FET again I have to do HRT instead of natural. Feeling a bit down about everything and not sleeping well, but will see acupuncture lady tomorrow so she will put things right I hope. :)
Just a quick one. Scan went well. Baby is measuring 8 weeks and has a good strong heartbeat. Fingers crossed. We haven't got this far since DD.
Great news indias mum FX you keep getting bigger and a take home baby this time you sure deserve it !
saffy I know its hard when fs don't seem to listen but hey they see women all the time and at the end of the day they know there job I guess ! but if he agreed to give you hrt and crinone then go for it, I went last year to see a fs and was 45 and had 9 live births and 5 mcs and well he basically said to me I have a chance of another bfp but its unlikely and I would be wasting my money on any treatments as my age ! it hurt like hell as all I wanted was another bfp to heal this hole in my heart and it felt like he didn't give a sh*t about me and offered counciling to get over my need for more children !!!
Anyhow I came out the rooms sobbing and promised myself I would not give up just because he didn't want to help me ! anyhow at the end of the day you have age on yourside and if he will agree to some help then thats great I say !!!
rambled a bit there sorry !
Matthewsmum anynews BT tomorow ?
afm well bloo*y hot still but just taking one day at a time shopping to keep cool ! no symptoms of any kind so not sure if I Ovulated or not but dtd a good few times so if I did I have a chance !
hi girls,
india'smum: great news on your scan, i hope all is good from here for you
matthewsmum: any update ? have you poas or will you wait for the blood test ?
crafty: fingers crossed you are in with a chance this cycle
saffy: it is SO frustrating when the specialists won't listen to you, i feel the same with mine which is why im getting another opinion, ironically its the same issue you have with progesterone
afm: no ovulation yet, hopefully within the next 10 days, i have ewcm from today so things may be happening, will start opt's from tomorrow and probably start bding soon, as with every cycle i don't want to start too early cause it becomes such a chore
hi ladies,thanks for your support ,woke up this morning to af bleeding.Having bt tomorrow to confirm that's what it is...
matthewsmum: big hugs to you, sorry to hear it seems like af has arrived
sorry if it is AF matthewsmum FX its a sneaky bfp though !
thanks ladies,today was an overdosing on ice-cream & chocolate day ,feel sick now.as for the bleeding, typical cd2..
So sorry to hear Matthew's Mum. It isn't over until the blood test though is it?
