I have missed being here but it has also been great to have a 4 month break from thinking about TTC so much.
I saw FS today and we have planned my FET for this upcoming cycle. I can't say exactly when that will be as I am currently cd49!!!! Yes 49, (minniemouse I can sympathise) never been past day 46 before so this is a record. Anyway, he scanned me and it showed I had O'ed but goodness knows when. He said if AF is not here in a week we will do bloods and kick start her but I don't think that will be necessary, she's been feeling just around the corner for days. Also told FS about my new donor waiting in the wings and we discussed how we will proceed with this if my frosties don't make it. I have not yet told donor daddy about all this, part of me feels bad for him but part of me feels if he'd done more to get his sperm up to scratch we might already have a bub by now.
I am really hoping that all the stuff I have done and am doing (weight loss 8kg , acupuncture, hypnosis, therapy, reiki, yoga) will do the trick. Also the eating chicken! Still not really comfortable with that but doing it anyway.
Saffy - we will be FET buddies
Crafty - Miracles do happen and they can happen to anyone, even you. Chin up babe
Tilygirl - Welcome to our thread. There is not very many of us now so I think it must be quite a lucky thread as many have left to pregnancy threads. I hope this is the case for you too soon but while you are here we will support you all we can.
Minniemouse - I saw on fertility friend once about a lady who had a successful pg after O'ing on day 65. I asked FS about it today actually and he said there is no problem with it (I thought maybe the lining would get too thick or the eggie would be over done but no he said it all just kind of goes on hold till the hormones catch up)
Just realising how many ladies have left our thread since it started on 19th May last year I thought I'd have a look how they are all going. I'm sure I'll have missed a few (sorry if I missed you) so feel free to add or let me know if you know about those I don't have info on.
Murrycod - Had a baby girl (as far as I know).
Porsche - UTD 39w 4 d
Me - Still trying.
Crafty - Still trying.
Alice - Left BB.
Ferrals - Baby Ella is 6w old.
Mildez - Had a baby girl.
Trea - Had a baby girl.
Sevie - No info.
T-Hopes - UTD 33w 4d.
Possums - UTD 22w 4d.
Mathew's mum - Still trying I think.
Saffy - My FET buddie.
Minniemouse - Still trying.
Possum Magic - UTD 22w 6d.
Luna - UTD.
India'smum - UTD 17w 2d.
Damprye - UTD 22w 3d.
Intheslowlane - Not sure.
Claire'smummy - Taking a break.
Loops - Still trying.
That means of the 21 I counted 11 have had bubs or are UTD. Ladies that's 50% so far in a year. I don't know about you but that is a statistic I can be happy about and it gives me hope.
great list, thats good sats. ( I think claresmummy got UTD but unfortunately had a miscarriage poor darling, Luna is definately UTD!)
I think I will join the Ridiculously Long Cycles Club too soon, although I am only CD28 now, I'm not sure that I ever O'd, and keep getting blobs of EWCM randomly every few days, no sign of AF, not UTD ( did a test just incase), so no idea when AF will come, as I had lingering hcg for a few weeks. Aren't we a bit young to have cycles going all over the place or is it the ivf/clomid meds? Or am I delusional about my age?
Sunbeam are you doing a natural or HRT FET? You probably told me but I forget.
hi everyone,been thinking about you all...crafty-sorry af came..tilygirl-welcome to the thread,sorry for your losses..minniemouse-sorry to read you've come up against another challenge to get through...afm-doing another stim cycle,i'm on day3 of injections,sniffing synarel,scan on friday to check follicles
welcome to tilygirl, sorry you have had to join us here but we are all lovely girls (lol) who will help and support you
sunbeam: good to see you back, thankyou for that info on that women getting pregnant when she ovulated so late in her cycle, it doesn't seem right does it ! i asked my specialist about me ovulating day 24 and was that bad and they said no too. thanks also for doing that list, it really does make me more hopeful. oh and clairesmummy is having a bit of a break for now
gosh you poor thing having such a long cycle, doesn't it frustrate you so much, especially now you want to get going with things !
oh yeah and loops pops in here sometimes, she comes under still trying also
saffy: fingers crossed for you this cycle, you didn't have a progesterone level done to see if you ovulated did you ?
matthewsmum: good to see you posting again, i have missed you. are you on increased medication this time or do you stay on the same dose ? fingers crossed for your scan friday
crafty: so sorry to hear af arrived but don't forget 2 of our more mature girls :-) are now pregnant so there is still hope for you
afm: well what a whirlwind of a week for me, so after the stitch pain of wednesday we have dtd a few times, i also had blood tests done wednesday which showed i had just ovulated or was about to so hopefully we are in with a chance even though we didn't get dtd until late, im using the progesterone for the first time this cycle so will see how that goes. i was thinking i will be happy if i can get past 10dpo without bleeding but then a friend told me i wont bleed while im on the progesterone, im glad she told me because i would have got my hopes up if i got past that point. those of you that have been on progesterone did you find it kept af away until you stopped the pessaries ?
i also got another prolactin done and my level dropped from over 1800 to 80 in one week !!! its now abnormal because it is low, can't win ! but it shouldn't matter
hi minnie,i was told the prog pessaries usually hold af back,but i have still got her while on the pessaries,i'm on the same dose of gonal f & synarel as last stim...
Sunbeam-WELCOME BACK HUN!!!!! ready and rareing to go i see lets hope for a speedy BFP.
And no one has heard from murrycod she last replied to my emails 2 weeks before she was due to have her bub and she was going to send me pic's of her bub when born and so far i havent heard a peep she has not even replied to my last email pleading to know she was ok so i am worried about her.
Welcome back Sunbeam! Missed seeng your name pop up lol.
I'm still floating around. 2 days to go but I "know" I'll be overdue. I've been reading along with all your replys with the ups and downs but haven't felt that I can contribute much.
Just popping my head in because, while stalking (sorry!! ) I saw your question Minnie. I just thought I would add that while on crinone gel I bled but the pessaries held back AF 100%. I think I was day 37-8 when I had my BT and I had not even spotted. That was a BFN cycle. As soon as I stopped the pessaries, I bled.
Saffy - I have always had squiffy cycles, never been a 28 day girl in my life but I think IVF definitely makes it worse. As for EWCM, what's with that stuff, I got some yesterday, cd51 and well past O day!!!! Super confusing! Yes I am doing a HRT cycle. I can't believe it is so much easier than a stym cycle, no injections only one scan, no bloods.....way easier! Are you doing HRT?
Minniemouse - Just for an extra bit of hope for you, I got pg on a cycle where I O'ed on cd25 and a friend of mine has a daughter from cd24 O so it totally can happen. Thanks for the updates I added them to the list. With Luna UTD that actually takes it to over 50%
Ferrals - I am very worried about Murrycod too she seemed to just disappear. I really hope there is not bad news and she's just super busy with bub.
Porsche - I am excitedly awaiting your PA. I still lurk on PAML it has been so good to see so many bubs born recently.
AFM - I went to see a spiritual healer yesterday, she had been recommended by a friend and she was sooooo awesome. I was there for 3 hours! I feel like I got to work through so much of my sorrow about my babies and also so much of my worry about my mum, just beautiful, totally recommend it. Going to have a big chat with my Donor in the wings today and explain to him the process of getting some of his goodies on ice in case we need to do IUI. Hope it doesn't freak him out
Sunbeam glad to see you back and trying again - hang in there. I went to see an energy healer too (a couple different ones over the years) and found it sooooo helpful. Grieving your lost bubs is definitely healthy.
Just wanted to add I'm actually a little further along than 36 wks and have a baby girl who is now nearly 8 weeks old. We called her Matilda and we pinch ourselves every day as she is just so precious. We are crazy in love.
To the other 50% of girls still on the list, we all think about you and when I see a BFP I let out a little cheer (just not sure if I can post a lot if I'm not technically in the thread) for you all and a little word of encouragement to the universe when it is a BFN. My dream is that one day 'infertility' will not exist and everyone will have access to medical treatment that solves any issues quickly and having babies will be 'easy' for everyone.
Just popping in to improve the statistics :-) Yes, I am definetly pregnant, I can admit it now even to myself. Yesterday the baby was measuring exactly what it is supposed to be for 7w3d, with a heartbeat of 152/min. I think I am also getting ms, which is totally new to me, and althought I feel absolutely rotten it makes me happy, and I do not have to explain here why.
minniemouse -the pain of TWW. Don't worry that you did not DTD a lot, once but well is plenty.
Sunbeam - glad to see you back, hoping your eggs will mesh better with the brand new sperms :-)
Saffy - I am sure your body is confused from all the meds you took for the ivf, yes, you are too young.
Matthew's mum, Crafty - I am thinking of you, keeping my fingers crossed.
great to see all the old friends and their bellies!! (Porsche can't believe you are due I will stalk the BA's)
minnie- good luck hope the progesterone works, finally in the tww! x
luna- great to hear, you give us hope! So glad the scan went well, enjoy the morning sickness lol x
sunbeam- glad the healer gave you a boost, 3 hrs is a long time, you must have got a lot out of your system! Good luck with donor daddy x I'm going to be doing HRT FET i think but I also have to wait and see what the new fs says, he may have other plans for me ( doubt it though)
matthewmums- hope the jabbing is going ok and you can grow a bunch of eggys x
afm- nothing to report, no AF still now I think I might be gearing up to O cos I've had a bit of ewcm for the past 3 days, but neg opks so who knows. Seeing new FS on friday, can't wait! I hate long cycles, cannot believe some people have them all the time- frustrating!! Come on AF you tease, I want to start my next cycle
morning everyone,saffy-hope the app goes well tomorrow...trea-congratulations...luna-glad bubs is doing well...ferrals-please let us know when you hear from murray cod...porshe-will watch for your announcement...sunbeam-how did your talk go?...minniemouse-finding meds okay,thanks for asking,few side effects but i can put up with it...afm-scan tomorrow,will let you know how it goes
afm: i got my progesterone result today, my last 3 on clomid have been 14,19,29 and this cycle on progesterone pessaries its 75 at least the progesterone is making a difference ! so relieved about that, now i just have to worry about the timing of dtd which wasn't good as i wasn't expecting ovulation at day 45 !
