LT TTC & Assissted Conception Mar-Apr 2010

trubabe: whats wrong with those lovely gown photos being on FB, LOL. i am sure she appreciated your visit. good luck to you
lairdoz: have some great b'day parties. hope all goes well and you have a good break. x

brunette: ouch for the bruising, are you pinching your skin and holding a little bit of a fat roll, presuming you have one, LOL. as this helps to not bruise as much? might help if your not doing it already. good luck for the rest of this cycle and pray for a BFP.

juniper: hi, i hope all is going well with you.

mumwannabe: i love the visualisation thing, prob a good idea. my acu lady said i shouldn't think of it as a live embryo being put in as this makes the BFN worse. dunno what i am supposed to think instead. good luck to you and hope for a BFP. x

renee: sounds good. what a long cycle that is, wow. hope the time away does you good, and i'm all for the BFP with no IVF, but it is not possible with us. darn it. LOL. good luck to you though.

kmm: i am sure we all do crazy things to help our little ones to snuggle in and stay in there, i have heard about lucky charms even being used, whatever works for you. good luck to you.

dreamrise: sounds like you need a big hug. hope all goes well and you'll be doing it in no time at all. try to be positive, although it is hard to do it sometimes. x x

loops : tassie fixes a lot of probs. maybe a holiday is just what you need. sending you a really big hug. x o


anyone else who i have forgotten: sorry for that. good luck whatever part of a cycle or FET or TWW your on.

AFM: well i have now picked up the synarel and start sniffing tomorrow, woohoo.
DH and i have a heap of paperwork to fill out and gotta get BT done soon as well. just to make sure we're all still good.
i have a scan booked in on the 19th to make sure that i am not going to ovulate, then i suppose i'll start jabbing. i love that part. NOT. but was ok with giving myself injections.

DH still wants to wait a bit more but the thing is there will always be something getting in the way. and it'll never happen if we wait for the right time to do it.

all is good.

chat soon

Hi ladies sorry I've been MIA lately but I have been sort of reading what is going on. It all sounds really good and quite a few of you are heading towards your TWW or in the TWW. I'm sure some great news is just around the corner and the ball of BFP's will start to roll really soon.

Loops so happy to hear that you are finally on the mend after everything you have been through. Enjoy your holiday let your body heal and I'm sure that you'll get there pretty soon.

Marcellus :pray: that your criptic messages mean what I think they do

Brunette good luck honey hopefully your little ones' are burrowing in for the next 9 months

To everyone else :hello:

AFM well after a full blood work up by my immunologist I can finally get back on track. Have an appoitment with FS next Friday to work out my medications and my next FET will be mid May. Things have worked out great and I will probably only need to add lose dose asprin to my cycle to reduce the chances of clotting. TMI as I'm currently cycling at the moment DH and I have decided to give it a natural try so this morning I took some lose dose asprin and we will see what happens. So i guess nect week I'll be on a natural TWW.

hi Girls,

dreamrise, hope you are ok. big hugs to you. good luck you will be on the right track soon.

loops, enjoy your time out. i hope you holiday gives you a well earned rest.

JBM, good luck sniffing & good luck for your scan. my blood test is also on the 19th, i think brunette's is too (?) it will be a big day. and already it seems to be taking so long to arrive.

have a good weekend everyone. x

Hi Ladies,

I've had no internet for about a fortnight so been MIA.

Hope everyone is doing well, good luck to everyone regardless of the stage you're at.

I'm patiently sitting here in the TWW, BT is Wed 14th, I'm 3-4 few days o/due (not sure if that means anything).

Take Care everyone,
Chrissy

CK77: not long til your BT. i never made it that far, hope this is a good sign for you. i'd be going out of my mind by now, but hey i am a bit anxious about it all. good luck. pray for a BFP

kmm: the 19th is a lucky day and they say good things happen in 3's. good luck to you

AFM: nothing new to report. i started synarel today, i don't get the headaches thank goodness.

chat soon

Are there any Brisbane ladies who have previously done a HRT cycle and needed to purchase ethinyl oestradiol tablets? I have run out and tried to fill a script for some more today from a chemist, but apparently these tablets need to be purchased from a compounding pharmacy which either make them on the spot or it takes the chemists a couple of days to make them!

Of course I need them on a weekend! I had no idea as I've never had these tablets before.

I've tried Wickham Compounding Pharmacy, the Mill Pharmacy on ground level of QFG, the Mater, PA, Wesley, and Greenslopes pharmacy hospitals and a couple of day and nights in Brisbane.

Does anyone know where I can get these tablets on a Sunday? Please help!

CK77, I haven't checked yet, but are you posting in the TWW thread? Come join us - there's not many of us there at the moment. Not long to go for you now. How are you feeling?

JBM, Yes, I do have a fat roll to pinch LOL. I've been doing that but I think because I've been taking the clexane for so long now that for the last 6 or so jabs I just get these huge bruises wherever or however I do them. I think I might have to start jabbing my thighs. My cousin had to use clexane for her entire pregnancy and she used both legs - had to, as she had nowhere else to go! How exciting that you've started your cycle and are sniffing away! FX this is the lucky one!

Hi kmm, yep, we're both the same BT day - the 19th. Aaaagh! I don't know about you but I'm over the wait and just want to know the result!

Hi Terry, how you going? All the best for your natural cycle. How wonderful it would be for you to fall naturally! And it all sounds positive that you only need aspirin when you do your FET if things don't happen the natural way ;)

Brunette, I've PM'd you a few. Let me know how you go.

Cheers, mate; I'm checking now.

gday ladies have missed so much calving is keeping me very busy which is a good thing. I hope everyone is happy and healthy. Brunette hope you have been able to track down those tablets.
I am still patiently waiting for my script to get here as I start the synarel on friday the nurse said to me that I may have to get the chemist to order it in as not everyone stocks it has anyone else had this problem? I'm a bit of a stress head and I like to have things done before they need to be.
Hello to everyone else fx for everyone about to transfer, harvesting or in the tww and to everyone else.

Brunette ~ Thanks hun, will do. I hope you got your tablets. Did you ring your clinics' after hours emergency number. My clinic was really good when I ran out of Synarel although it wasnt a weekend.

JBM ~ thanks for the hug xo. So happy you're on the way. GL with your sniffing and jabbing.

Terry ~ Thanks I will! GL on your natural TWW and all the best for May if not. FX

Kmm ~ Thanks hun, I can't waitfor our hol and a break. Hope you're doin well in TWW, FX for a BFP!

CK ~ FX for Wed!

Lori ~ GL with it all! FX for you

Trueblue ~ Hi chicky. Probably best you order as some chemists have it and others will have to get it in. I think it should only take 1 or 2 days to come in. I ran out of Synarel mid cycle if you remember and my nurse said Chemist Warehouse in Trar stock it so I rang them 1st thing and got the last bottle. So perhaps try there.
Im excited you're on your way, GL hun xoxo

Hi to anyone ive missed and all the best everyone!
xo

Loops thanks chick will go there was it any cheaper from there than a normal chemist?

um got a quick q guys I'd call my nurse but being a sunday ... I am on the pill to get in sync and so skipped a period but just went to the loo TMI alert: there is what looks like the brown very startings of my normal period I am half way through the second packet of the pill so shouldn't be anywhere near getting my period and am meant to be still taking it till the 20th. I have been taking it every day at the same time. will this bugger everything up if I get my period? help am starting to freak out a little

Trueblue, I sometimes had spotting like that when I was on the pill before we were TTC. Sometimes I could go 3 months between the red pills and sometimes I'd get that spotting and have to take the red pills earlier (to get it to stop). I would expect you wouldn't get a full AF until you stop the pills, but your best bet is to ring the clinic in the morning and let them know what's happening. Hopefully it is nothing more than an inconvenience.

Hey Trueblue ~ Hope you've rung the clinic and they have eased your mind. As Juniper said and also my friends a lot of people get spotting and everyone is different too. So I wouldnt be too worried.
Yes the Synarel was cheaper from chemist warehouse. Can't remember how much because Sam picked it up for me but I remember him saying it was cheaper.
Thinking of you hun and FX all goes to plan, GL xoxo

thanks guys finally got my info pack today and in it one of the q's covered was spotting whil;e on the pill during down reg and said it was a perfectly normal thing so now am over my panic attack.
She snuck in another pin cushion app lol on the 27th the day before the injections. But will be on synarel morning and night then the injections are the puregon and then hcg is the pregnyl. plus I think they have me down for two post ai injections for the pregnyl as well I think. SO will be off to pick up the nasal spray tommorrow I think.
Thanks again guys and sorry bout my panic attack

Loops 12: I'm glad you got your HCG of 3 - its a small conciliation not having to have a D&C as you still lost a precious lil embie, but you've gotta look at any positive, no matter how small in this game!

I got AF, Day 30, half way through my TWW, which i didnt really find as a surprise, I don't really even feel upset, just the normal constant disappointment and anger now - rather than emotional and upset.
I dont like what this life of IVF is turing me into - I think I'm going a bit numb to all of it - not fully feeling the highs and the lows? Maybe its a coping mechanism - I dont know???

Has anyone discussed with their partner a limit to all of this, all of the attempts and surgerys and drugs and heart break? I think about it more and more often with each failed cycle, or new diagnoses...

What a depressing lil post, sorry guys :)

Kmm & Brunette: I hope your lil embies are doing well and are tunnelling in!!!

Trubabe: I hope your mum is doing well!

MWB - DH and I decided from the word go that we would try four stim cycles and if that didn't work, it obviously wasnt meant to be. However, if attempt #4 comes and goes, may be a different story.
Sorry been MIA, been crazy busy, sick and blah. Had absolute killer migraines to the point where I couldn't get out of bed without wanting to spew - nice - topped off with the fact that our 16 year old niece has just had a baby at the weekend. Man this sucks. On a brighter note, our little emby comes out of the cold on Friday morning, FX it survives for ET that afternoon. Please make it little emby :pray::pray:. Sorry that I go away for ages and come back with a me post but I'll be better next time, honest!!!
