n2L: good luck on monday.. it only takes one. x x
Don't give n2l and Tei...
I've got everything crossed for you both xo
=(
the sig says it all...
Oh Tei :( :( :(
I am so, so sorry. I know there is nothing to take away the hurt and disappointment.
Please know we are all here for you x
Take care sweetie xx
Tei-oh hun, what a disappointment :hug:
nothing makes you feel better, i know. xxx
n2l- sorry you got bad news from the scan, how frustrating :hug: hopefully you will get 3 ripper eggs on monday xxx
afm- saw different FS for second opinion today, he seems to think it is just a matter of time as well and that there isn't really any problems. He did a scan- "perfect uterus" and "excellent ovaries"- GREAT!! Except that they can't get me pregnant :wall: The only difference his clinic seems to give is a bit more LP support so will have to speak to DH about whether to transfer embryos or give it one more go with a HRT FET at my original clinic. I'm a bit scared of changing clinics and then regretting it.
Oh and still no AF ( due last monday) def not preg, did a test today. :wall:
just sending some good luck to all you LTTERs.
tei : hugs for you
good luck to all. x x x
Tei ~ :hug::comfort: Very sorry hun - hope you can try again very soon. Hang in there - we are here for you!
Saff ~ know how you feel - we are a bit the same, even though its male factor, DH's swimmers have been close to normal and all my tests came back fine - so why hasnt IVF worked for us yet. It's hard but I think for you and us - its only a matter of time (and money). I guess we scrape by and save what we can to try again. Chin up - here for you too :hug:
N2L, Kass and everyone - hope you are all doing well. DH and I are trying to get our garage deposit paid and then installation costs, then we will start saving again for IVF/ICSI #4
:grouphug:
Hi ladies,
I was in this thread late last year, and I was hoping to come back and share your journeys? I've been TTC for almost 3 years this time and we have been accessing assistent conceptions for about the last 2 years. 12 months on clomid and the last 8 or so on injectables in modified IUI type cycles. As you can see by my sig things have not gone smoothly, the last round being particularly traumatic, but we've decided to get back on the wagon and start TTC again.
I'm in my first TWW since starting again, about DPO 10 I think and I can't test early becasue of the pregnyl shots! I am a POAS-aholic! Tuesday is D day...
GL to everyone!
Bec
Woo hoo Bec!
Welcome back :)
Lovely to see you :) Glad to see you back ttc again (IYKWIM) :)
Are you still seeing Dr S? What has she got you doing?
n2l
Hi N2L! Still seeing Dr S, and I'm still totally glad I swapped to her! SHe has been wonderful over the past few months, and she was happy for me to just call when I was ready. She has me on 116 IU daily, ovidrel trigger and then pregnyl luteul support (1500 dpo4 &8). All went according to plan and dominant follie was on the right side (which is the good side!). Just a few more days to wait now, although we are approaching this cycle as a test cycle to see how things go, and I'm not hoping too much (but still hoping!)
What's happening with you? Antag cycle I see by your sig, where are you up to?
Bec
Welcome back becnxavi ~ wow you have been through a lot :hug: Must have been very tough - things have to turn around for you now. :goodluck: Will be crossing fingers tight for you. Really hope next time you get a BFP the Docs really keep an eye on things - it can be done, a work colleague of mine had a few miscarriages before finally having a beautiful baby girl who is now just over 2.
Hope everyone is well xoxo
Just did epu. Crap result. One egg only :(
If you are at all religious please pray it fertilises and divides.
Thanks x
oh sh*t N2L, thats a shame, praying for this egg to be a survivor and hang on in there, good luck honey, you deserve it :goodluck:
come on eggy this is the way it goes- :fertilise: then :2ww: then :SAAF: then :bfp:
Sneaking in....:
N2l- sorry for your result on EPU.
Praying that little eggo fertilises and divides well and stays snug for 9 long months. (((sticky vibes)))

Hi girls,
Just a quick one from me as I am a bit lost on where everyone is up to.
JBM (if you're still lurking) - so, so, so happy for you hun. AWESOME news!!!! Wishing you a H&H 8 more months.
N2L - I'm so sorry that you had such a disappointing result and now have such a nervewrecking wait and I will be sending you a tonne of good luck vibes that your little one finds his/her way.
Tei - what can I say?:grouphug:
Hi to all you newbies, returnees and of course... the usual suspects!
:pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust:
AFM - Have had some interesting results from genetic testing and waiting on a couple of more BT results before moving on to next FET. Finding it mentally challenging this time just trying to gear up for the next round with a few more challenges now thrown in and am booked in to see the councellor this week to help muddle through it all.
N2L ~ (((GBH))):hug: I dont normally really pray (perhaps occasionally) but I definitely will :pray: for your little eggy hun. You never know because you only had one perhaps it is an exceptional one and all will be great!
Hi Tantee ~ :goodluck: with everything hun, FX'd for your next go.
A little woo hoo from me!
My FS just rang and told me the egg and fertilised and is doing what it's meant to....
If it keeps going, transfer tomorrow!!
Thanks everyone for your support and prayers. I really appreciate it.
x
That sure is great news, I hope it continues to thrive :goodluck:
Hello ladies
It's been a while since I've posted and I thought I'd jump in and say hello.
Glad to see some lucky people have moved into the pg thread!! Good work.
Tantee I too had genetic results back and ours were all normal so they didn't answer why we'd had 3 mcs which is what the Dr predicted. Glad to rule it out anyway. Best of luck with your next cycle
N2L I really hope this little one grows stong for you.
Welcome newbies and those returning.
Will catch up with everyone soon, my best wishes to you all.
AFM It's day 47 since my curette and I'm getting a bit anxious at how long it's taking. We were going to wait until my next cycle before another stim. But with AF taking her time it's likely to push it into July - so long away.
hi happybaby, nice to see you again!
I am in the same boat- waiting, waiting ,waiting, for AF, I had a chem pregnancy with a small af, but had hcg loitering around for a few wks, NOTHING since, no sign of af at all!
It's so frustrating, I don't even want to ask the clinic if I have missed June's cycle, because I can't bear to hear the answer - July is miles away and I will be 39 by then :cry:
I think I'm CD 36.
Hope AF comes soon for you and you can get on with the next stim ( funny what we look forward to)
N2L- GREAT news, so happy for you, onwards and upwards!
HI Tantee-hope you get some clarity from the counsellor, its a challenging business this IVF
Loops- hi hun hows everything going?
Becnxavi- sorry to hear about your terrible time, hope you can get a bfp real soon ( can you test today??)
Excellent N2L ~ will continue to :pray: for you!
Ladies ~ July will come around before you know it, just focus on other things (well try if you can), thats what I try and do - stay busy. To offer some condolence - I've now been waiting 6months since our last cycle for money and to get through all the other challenges life has thrown at us and still dont know if we'll be able to afford a cycle in July which will probably mean we may not be able to do one till Sept or something silly like that. But I know things happen in the mean time which distract me and eventually that time will come around for us to have another shot.
Goodluck ladies - hope AF comes very soon!
I also found out recently that once you have applied in Victoria for local adoption and waiting for a child you cannot undertake any Assisted Conception so that means we wont be applying just yet - we want to have another few goes at IVF first if we can.
At times my heart aches and other times I try to be happy and enjoy what I have :)
Hi girls hope you all doing well..
Im back for round 9 of IVF started jabs yesterday so praying for a little miracle to occur this time..
Unfortunately it has come at a really horrible time as my bestfriends Mum is dying in hospital from cancer so hard to get excited about it at moment!
n2l great news ill say a little prayer for your little embie x
Loops, Happybaby, tantee and anyone ive missed hi and hope all is going along ok x
Hi ladies,
happybaby- what a bugger AF is taking so long. My AF stayed away after D&C for about 2 months and I eventually took primolut to induce it. I hope she arrives soon.
n2l: woohoo for your little embie! I hope you had your transfer today and it went well. It only takes one as they say! FX for you hun.
tantee: I hope the councellor helps and that you can work around your interesting results. hugs.
loops: thanks for the welcome back. How odd about not being able to go on the adoption lists whilst on assisted conception. I was just watching this show about a couple in the US and the were on the adoption list and it was taking too long so they opted for a surrogate mother and then had two babies within weeks of each other because they both came through! GL with your assisted cycles for now though.
blossom: Good luck for round 9. I'm sorry to hear about your friends mum :( Cancer is a horrible thing.
Saffy: I could test yesterday, but I waited untill today. Oddly enough I had to go and get a BT on Monday anyway to check for HCG and progestrone anyway, so...
it's a tentative BFP for me! My HCG was quite low, although within normal range, but I'm just taking it as it comes. I go for another BT tomorrow, so hopefully if hcg is doubling...I might actually be able to whisper the p word to myself. I just wish I had my innocence back and had the confidence things would be fine!
But for now, I am PUPO!
Bec
oooohhhh.....keep us informed.....will keep excitement under wraps for now, FX
becnxavi ~ getting excited for you! But I also understand your hesitation to get too excited. Sounds like you have your head in control though which is great. Fx'd very tight :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
They say you can't do assited because they want to know you are serious about adoption. I think that makes sense and can understand that. Ive heard of people getting PG just after receiving an adopted child. Whatever way I just hope im not waiting too much longer to have a child in my arms that I can call mine :)
Goodluck ladies and all the best. HOPE everyone is well xoxo
Just sticking my ugly head in to say hi to everyone :hello:
4dp2dt for me...Waiting, waiting, waiting....
Had my first pregnyl injection on Friday night. Felt a little nauseous yesterday and a bit of a stretching feeling in the uterus. My boobs are heavy and sore too.
I know these are side effects, not symptoms.
I think if this one doesnt work I may have a month, maybe two off. Depending on what the FS thinks.
Hope everyone is well x
hi N2L
I'm really hoping and praying for you!!!!
I'm still around but as i have to wait til next cycle to give it another go, im not really doing anything atm... just waiting for AF, this is one of those times you wish she would come =) but i got about 3 weeks to wait.
lots of vibes to everyone!
hi all
just a quickie from me.
N2L - hoping so much that this will be the one for you
I will be lurking but not posting too much. I severed my tendons, nerves and arteries on 2 fingers on my right hand this week which ended in surgery so am pretty much useless at the moment and for the next 2-3 months, although I will be checking in on everyone's progress and waiting for news of bfps with baited breath.
I will not be starting fet this month as planned and to tell you the truth, I have run out of steam. Not sure what will happen as I have 5 little frosties waiting but no desire to do another cycle in the near future. Am feeling a bit too sorry for myself at the mo and it is affecting not just me but DH & DD also. Sorrry for the me post and for lack of persies but typing is now a very long process!
Hi Ladies
Tantee ~ ouch!! Hope you're healing fast, must be painful :comfort: At least you have 5 frosties waiting there hun, you'll probably have a better chance if you wait until your hand is better, less to worry about. :crossfingers: for fast healing.
Tei ~ hope time is passing quickly for you and AF arrives soon!
Becnxavi ~ looks like (going by your sig) a proper congrats is in order!! :happyforyou: Sending you loads and tonnes of stickyvibes!!
N2l ~ Hope you're surviving ok in TWW! :goodluck: FX'd
Kass ~ you 2 - hope TWW is ok, :crossfingers:
Saff ~ has AF come yet, if not hope she arrives very soon for you!
AFM ~ nothing new really - going away to Bendigo Beef Expo for a week tomorrow - showing and looking after my mums cattle with her - should be fun! Also found out yestie my sis is pregnant again - yay another niece or nephew. Its hard when its other people getting pregnant but when its your family its exciting! (well I think so anyway LOL) :-)
Hi ladies,
Things are still looking good! hcg went from 27 last Monday to 147 last Thursday which FS was super happy with. I'm sorry, I forgot my sig would change in here too, I'll turn it off. I just wanted to be able to make one and enjoy it while it lasts (hopefully for 9 months...:))
All the best ladies,
Bec
Congratulations Bec ~ hope those HCG levels just keep going up and up. Feel free to hang around here for support if you need it, and I'm not fussed about seeing your sig because I'm happy for you and I know it will be my time when the timing is right! :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
Everyone appears to have just vanished :( LOL
Just in case anyone is on - this is me: just O'ing now and getting bit of B'Ding in! Bought some pre-seed so giving that a try also cheap O tests and POAS's from Lullaby Conceptions. ;)
Hope everyone is well and sending on lots of :pink-babydust::stickyvibesboy:
Hi Everybody,
It's been absolutely ages since I last posted but I loom from time to time to see how all is going in here and over in the LTTTC TWW thread. I hope you don't mind me dropping in to ask a question...
We were scheduled for an FET of our last remaining embryo on Wednesday but it was cancelled on Tuesday as the poor little embryo didn't make it. Yesterday I received the invoice and we had been charged the full FET cost. As there were no day surgery, FS or scientist costs incurred associated with the transfer, I was assuming we would have a reduced fee. DH rang the clinic this morning to enquire about it and was told that there was no error and the policy is to charge the full fee. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if it's a standard practise?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
M. x
Hi meg. That doesnt sound right? I have had one FET cycle cancelled, but because i didnt ovulate (not because the embryo didnt make it) and so i cancelled and did it the next month, and there was no additional charge (even though i had umpteen blood tests). It doesnt seem right they can charge you when there are costs they didnt incur? I would check again??? P.S. I am with monash. J.
Hi Meg
Im sorry I havent been in that situation before - have never had any frozen but that just sounds obsurd - god they are criminal arent they. Makes me mad :angry:
Very sorry your emby didnt make it too - hope you can try again very soon.
AFM ~ I hate it when I start looking for symptoms but Ive been really off the last few days. Had the flu last week and so it could be i'm just not feeling 100% because of that but I dont know I just feel different ill. flushed, little nauseus, headachey etc. Always get sore BB's around this time and I do so again. Wouldnt it be nice if it were a miracle has happened!! wishful thinking perhaps lol
Hi Jaye Jaye ~ sorry I missed you then, must have posted at same time. Goodluck with this cycle you are on :crossfingers: for you!!
Hi Jaye,
Thanks so much for responding. It sounds dodgy, doesn't it!? DH was told that the day surgery and FS costs were sent directly to our health fund and were covered completely by them. This seems weird because a) our original cycle and two subsequent FETs were done in Queensland (with the same organisation) and nothing was covered by our health fund and b) our last FET here in Sydney with this clinic went ahead and there was no mention of additional costs covered by the health fund and no documentation to indicate that anything was paid by them.
DH has said he will call again tomorrow and try to speak with a practice manager or someone. It's so infuruating and adds insult to injury when it was our last embryo and we now need to cough up to do it all again. DH has started on the conspiracy theories. Oh dear...
M. x
Hey Loops, thanks for your thoughts. Next step for us is surgery to clean up the endo then start a new stim cycle. Hopefully the combination will do the trick.
As for looking for and then endlessly analysing symptoms, I know exactly how you feel. Even though I've been told I have less than a 1% chance of falling pregnant naturally, I still seem to imagine symptoms even when I haven't had a transfer! It's torture all this, isn't it? DH and I have decided that we will keep at this for a while longer but if (I know I should say when...) we get a baby that will be it. NEVER AGAIN!!!
Hi girls,
I'm still around :hello:, not doing anything yet,but waiting for AF ( now on CD53) and paperwork transfer before I start an FET- hopefully not too much longer. I have never missed an AF in my entire life ( besides when I was UTD) so it is weird to have my body doing something so unusual. I have meds to bing AF on, but I really wish my body would do it itself, because I don't wnat to go into an FET with things off kilter. grrrrr.
Loops- wow you are at the time in the tww when everything looks like a preg symtoms, my sympathies- hopefully something ( ie a BFP) will give you a definate answer. :crossfingers: for you.
Meg- Really sorry you are in that situation- sounds dodgy as to me. My DH would have gone nuts about that, its never happened to me so I didn't realise they would still charge- rubbing salt into the wound hey. Greedy B@st@rds! I hope you get it sorted, we are well over the tww torture and never ending disappointments- I would be so grateful just to have one baby, then, I agree- time to enjoy life, no IVF!!!!
jayejaye-hi how areyou going?
hi anyone else!
Evening all!
Well, I find myself back in this thread...again....having not graduated from the LTTTC Two Week Wait thread :(
Not that I don't love you girls, but I was sort of hoping not to have to come back (other than to visit of course!!)
I had my blood test on Monday and my HCG was 2. My FS thinks implantation started but didnt continue. Sucks really. What sucks more is I am 40 years old in 21 days. That's three weeks for a miracle to occur. Forty seems like such a line in the sand. Even though rationally I know it doesnt mean my fertility is going to halve overnight.
Oh well... DP and I had a review appointment with my FS yesterday and she says we should keep on trying but to have a two month break. She says it takes an average of 10 embryos to be transferred for a successful pregnancy. I have only had four transferred so she said she is not too concerned yet.
In the two month break I have to lose weight. Ideally, ten kilos, but at least five. It will be tough going. I have put seven kilos on since starting assisted conception a year ago. But it really is not negotiable.
I also had to have blood tests this morning (cd 2). My FS is testing the following:
ANA - Anti-Nuclear Antibody, anticardiolipin ab, antithrombin 111, karyotype, lupus anticoagulant, protein C and S, prothrombin gene mutation, factor V leiden/APC resistance, CA125, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Prolactin, Progesterone, Oestradiol, Luteinising Hormone, FSH, SHGB, Glucose (fasting), insulin fasting, DHEAS, 17 hysroxyprogesterone, sensitive testosterone.
It only took six great big vials of blood!!! I dont know a lot about the implications of the results of these tests (other than the standard FSH, etc). If anyone knows, I would love to hear more!
My DP had to have a BT for Karyotype. Not sure if there was anything else...
At the moment I feel a bit disheartened. The more I read about IVF, the more I feel like it is not going to work. I am too old. I am too fat. Honestly it just really sucks. I know I have to get into a better headspace. Hopefully this time off will help...
Anyway, I know this is a 'woe is me' post. I am really sorry. Just a bit over it today. AF is shocking. I am bleeding huge clots. And, like I said, 40 is looming :( :( :(
And, I am bloody hungry :lol:
take care all x
