Mrs P, GL for tomorrow hun!! I usually take at least 3 days off post transfer. They say it's OK to go back to work straight away, but I just take residence on the couch and don't move much for the 3 days! lol.
Me4ever, still have everything crossed for you hunni :crossfingers: Some embies are just a bit slow to take off.
GL to all my lovely ladies in here xoxoxo
Mrs P - What clinic are you having your transfer done at? You dont have to say obviously, but how funny would it be if we were both having it done one after each other at the same clinic!!! I have a week off this time but I only work 3 days a week so I only needed 2 days off = score! xxx
Vic - Fine then, put me on top of the list as first with a BFP (I just wasn't sure where you were going to move my name to, that's all...). I should feel exited, but am just worried... Don't want to jinx all this.
Sorry that I haven't been much of a support for you guys. I am reading all your stories and thinking of you and keeping my fingers knees and toes crossed and sending you heaps of baby dust as well.
Amy - Good luck! I'll be thinking of you at 11.00.
Miss- P also good luck with your transfer!
Saffy & Porsche not long before your blood test! How exciting...
Thanks for all your well wishes and support! You girls rock!
me4ever- you arestill in with a chance hun, I was excited to read your latest hcg, crossing my fingers for you x
Miss P- I always take a few days off and rest as much as possible, don't feel guilty about calling in sick to work, GL for transfer
hi miss B thanks for all your support for us
Me4ever - sending you lots of sticky vibes.
Amyjb and Mrs P - all the best for today. It would be very funny if you were going to the same clinic today one after the other.
Myturn- hope you are going ok hun. I know the weight loss challenge is daughnting for you so remember we are all here when you need us.
Joeve - I'm glad the bleeding has stopped and have my fingers crossed it was a good sign and that little one is digging in deep.
Sneaking in to wish Amy all the best today xoxo.
Thanks darling girls!!! I'm about to start getting myself ready to go to the clinic (we live an hour away from it). I don't know why I feel so nervous, I know nothing will go wrong, it's strange! DH has got his camera all ready to take a million happy snaps Hahahaha!
Good Luck Amy & Mrs P. Cant wait for you both to join us all in the TWW :)
Hi Ladies
Good luck Amy & Mrs P!
I have to have the day off of TF because I get valium lol. So I can't drive etc... Other than that I'm back to work the next day.
Valium at work might not be such a bad idea ;)
I always take transfer day off. Or at least a half day if it is in the afternoon.

Hi girls - on the couch, with some relaxing herbal tea and some quality foxtel ha ha! Transfer went well, though apparently my bladder wasn't full enough so I made them work harder heh heh.
Amy hope it went well for you too Hun! I was at FSWA.
So I guess now I'm PUPO :) Back to work tomorrow but then not working again til Tues, plus the afternoon is an industry presentation so should be a pretty slack day.
BT is the 15th - I was hoping it would be the 14th as the 15th is a work day, and in the past I've always taken the day off but don't have enough days to do that this time. I might have to poas that morning to prepare myself somewhat.
Hope everyone is having a great day xx
Nice work Mrs P yay on being PUPO!
Congrats Mrs P on being PUPO. Welcome to the mad house :)
Congrats Miss P! I'm at FSWA too and have a bt on the 15th for the results. We will probably be sitting in the waiting room together that morning. Hope you get good news.
Hi girls,
Transfer went well. My doctor was awesome, so very happy! No pain at all compared to my last 2 transfers with the other doctor. There was only one other girl and I booked in for transfer today and we both have our blood test's on 13th May - Mothers Day :D
The Embie that they put in was at 7 cells (my lucky number!) and the nurses were so sweet they put me in bay 7 to bring me more luck. One of the nurses also told me something intertesting. She has just got back from a health retreat over in the eastern states and one of the people taking it was a very well known fertility specialist. She said that when doing IVF you should stay as far away from caffine as you can. She said that testing has shown that when you have coffee, tea and coke you have blood sugar surges in your body which damage your embryo...crazy huh?!
Mrs P - I am at Concept Fertility in Subiaco :) What day embie did you have transfered?
Vic - Do you mind updating me on the list for BT 13 May?
OK girls im going to pop over to the TWW thread but i'll be keeping an eye on you all!
xxx
Hey Amy glad it went well! Jealous your BT is two days before me though, haha!
Mine was a 5 day, grade 1-2, whatever that means. Apparently the average FET success rate at FSWA is 40% - obviously depends on age etc but I'm 33 so not too far over the hill :)
Following you over to the TWW but will also keep checking in!
Keta - wow that's an even longer wait for your BT as you are 3 dpo. I wonder if they have something against a Monday test?
Mrs P - Yay you're PUPO! Good luck in the TWW and lots of sticky vibes for you! I'm at FSWA as well, although epu and transfer was done by FSS as it was around Easter...
Amy - lots of sticky vibes for you too!
AFM - FS is a bit more optimistic as they couldn't find anything ectopic... Will be monitored again by blood tests and probably next week another scan, it's still early days, hopefully they can see more next week and hopefully it's in the right spot. Anyhow I'd probably better move onto the belly buddies thread, but will definitely be stalking you guys and of course you'll be all in there pretty soon!! Thanks for all your support! Sticky vibes and baby dust for all of you!
me4ever Goodluck!! Fingers crossed your levels skyrocket and this is a sticky bubba for you. You are definitely in good hands - I experienced early bleeding when pg with DD and the staff (nurses) at FSWA were great.
Well done Amy. Can't wait to cat h up and celebrate (with a lemonade :) )
Omg just realised I'm clearly needing a good nights rest. I'm not at FSWA, I'm at FSS
That is just embarrassing!
Hahaha you crack me up keta!!!! Yay to lemonade hahaha
Congrats Mrs P and Amy, you ladies are officially PUPO and I hope they stick :bluedust:.
me4ever enjoy being pregnant hun, try not to stress about the "what if's" as there will always be something you cannot control and you should be able to look back on the with happy thoughts.
AFM- all is quiet here, Just waiting to O. I spoke with the FS tonight and he confirmed he would like us to take this month off and do out FET next cycle so i will impatiently wait for this cycle to be over. I was really hoping that we could to our FET this month with no drugs but aparently that is not to be. My cycles are on the long side and a little irregular so I will need to be on low dose GonalF :doh: on the bright side i asked what the success rate was like and he said that as long as the embryo survives defrosting we will still have a 50% chance so that was a little bonus.

I just booked into see a psychologist next week - I feel like a loser for needing it and a hypocrite for feeling like a loser.
But it's done and at the same time I am glad.
Was wondering what questions I should ask FS next time I go.... And when I should book the next appointment for - considering I am going to have a bit of a break and lose weight first... Should I go and tell him that and talk about it or should I wait and make an appointment for when I am ready to start again??
What do you guys think??
Firstly, you are not a loser or a hypocrite.
Get those thoughts out of your head first and foremost.
Done? Good.
Now. Secondly, I think it's a good idea to make an appointment with your FS now. I don't know what discussions you've had previously but it might give you piece of mind to go through everything thoroughly to make sure you have all bases covered. There are, for instance, extra blood tests you can get after multiple unsuccessful IVF. I think I had them after three or four Stims. Your DH will have to have them too.
Regarding the weight, it is good to lose weight but my FS is not convinced it makes that much difference. I have also read studies which state pregnancy outcomes for obese women using IVF are no different than for women in a healthy weight range. I guess it is a contentious issue...
That said, losing weight is a good thing anyway, and it will make you feel better. However, if ivf is not successful for you, do you want to carry around that guilt forever, blaming your weight for it? Especially since it's not likely the reason.
I am going to be negative Nancy here, but I think it's good to be realistic sometimes. IVF won't work for 40per cent of those who do it (statistically speaking). No one ever talks about it because it's the failure of a dream, the promise of a miracle baby that IVF peddles. It's no one's fault. It just is. I'm NOT saying you are one of those 40 per cent but I hate seeing you blame yourself when you don't have a successful cycle. It's not your fault. It really isn't.
I know exactly how you feel. It sucks having no control. There's nothing you can do but keep trying, keep praying but, above all, learn to accept it is not your fault and you don't deserve this. You are not alone.
Myturn I agree with everything N2L has said and I am sending you a hug x
N2L what you wrote brought tears to my eyes! Perfectly said. :clap:
The control thing is what I find hardest. If someone says I can't do something, I like to prove them wrong. I am a control freak, I like things my way ;) . TTC really makes you face the fact that sometimes you just can't control everything. Not blaming yourself is hard, but it is true.
My heart is breaking for you Myturn
Thanks Keta :)
Vic, just noticed you are well into your 2ww. Are you planning on POAS?
Being out of our control is definately the worst part of all of this journey we are all on. I am a bit of a control freak and a big believer in the universe and I can pretty much manifest what I want. But this one massive thing I just cant seem to manifest no matter how hard or how soft I try. I have tried going at it all guns blazing, tried cycles where I have not obssessed and just let it be and nothing seems to work. The whole unexplained fertility gets to me. Unexplained to me, means that they have not tried hard enough to find the reason. My FS said that to get pregnant everything has to be perfect. Well something is obviously not perfect with me or I would be pregnant by now. I know its trial and error and I am trying to be realistic that this is only my 4th transfer and that I still have things to try but I really wish the universe would get wriggle on and think that I have learnt whatever lesson I am meant to be learning right now. It would be lovely to think that we conceived this cycle on our wedding anniversary and with my DH and I starting a new business venture with his wish is coming true. I dont want to whine, but WHAT ABOUT ME!!! Selfish I know. I should be grateful that I have an amazing DH who has supported my every need and want, have a great home, great job and a great life. And I am grateful, believe me. It would be just so nice to start the next stage of our lives.
I know that you all know exactly how I feel and are all thinking the same things. I wish all of us our BFP's.
I dont have any symptoms and dont think this cycle has worked again. Its always the 2nd week blues that get me. I am trying to ignore being in the TWW this time, but as it gets closer (next Tuesday) its more and more on my mind.
Myturn - I would make the FS appointment so your armed with more info. Plus if you need more tests you can get started on them and take your time with them. You want to be ready to go when your up to it again. I definately dont think your a loser and it will probably do you the world of good to talk to someone IRL.
Joeve - My best friend bled the whole way through her pregnancy. She got so many miscarry scares but now has a happy healthy 2.5 year old. If they want to stick they will hunni. We are all here for you to vent x
N2L - Not going to POAS this time. I want to be organic this round and just let it be.
N2L I love everything you just said. You could be my therapist. Now if I could only believe it myself.

Well done amy and miss P. Hope the TWW goes fast and with happiness and joy at the end of it!!
Myturn- I have recently started seeing a psychologist that specialises in infertility and am really digging it. There is nothing loserish about recognising that this journey is hard and some people need some extra support to help them through it without going insane. My psychologist says that she can help me develop coping strategies so that I can continue treatment and not let it take over my life, which would be good! I really hope that you find it helpful, and don't feel like a loser, feel proud!
vic261- roll on tuesday and I hope it brings good news. I hear you about feeling impatient to start the next stage. I hope the universe is listening and gets on with iit giving you your BFP!
Good luck everyone else!!
AFM- still injecting, still waiting. Starting to get really anxious again about this cycle. It HAS to work. If not, I have to wait until July before anything else, which I know is not long, but seems SO far away!
:lol: but who will be mine!!?:
I am happy for you send me a consulting fee, although I should warn you that it's not Medicare rebatable! ;)
Grrr I hate my body. After more than 2 weeks of injecting my oestrogen is LOWER than day 2. WTF? So depressed right now.
Sorry, just feeling crappy.
Lyra wanna join my body is peeing me off club?? Sorry sweetie I just don't know what to say x
Big hug lyra.... And Joeve... And everyone.... And Thankyou to all of you for trying to remind me to think realistically. It really does help.
I think we need a big :grouphug: I will get there. I've just gone back a few steps finding out about the girl at work who is 14weeks.
Dont even notice it in here.... But when it is someone I actually know it hurts like hell. And on top off that I had to go out to a critical incident at work yesterday - and that is always hard.
I tell you I will never take this stuff for granted again.
Thanks guys,
yes joeve, lets make a club, and we can have membership t-shirts that say things like "my stupid ovaries suck". Sorry to hear you're not feeling the love either. :(
Myturn- wow it's amazing how someone else's pregnancy has such a huge effect. But it does. And I'm totally ok with people getting pregnant who have had struggles, but if anyone falls easily I have a huge difficulty dealing with it. I think it's normal (well at least I hope so). Am hoping my counsellor can help me with that a bit. You poor thing, that must have been a kick in the guts when you needed it least. Big hugs to you.
:grouphug::grouphug:
LS x
Argh Lyra I'm so sorry. It's so frustrating when that happens. What's the plan from here? Mine really took a long time this cycle but eventually got there, I hope yours do too.
Also just realised you are a Perth girl too. Amy, me4ever and I are having lunch on Saturday so if your keen (Amy may have figured this out and already contacted you!) I can forwar the details. Sometimes it's nice to know others irl going through something similar. No pressure but the offers there.
Thanks Keta, I know it's not over yet, and I'm still hoping that I get there, but these long cycles are just SO hard. And have never worked in the past so I guess right now I'm just thinking "what is the point?" I'm scared now I'll overstimulate and cancel as they've upped the drugs, and that's what happened last time I had a similar cycle. Boo, negative thoughts don;t help, I need to start the day with a fresh attitude!
Thanks for the invite but I have plans for Sat already. Hope you have guys have fun though! You can make each other laugh with stories of waxy pessaries :D
Hi ladies,
Just a quick one(I'm at work) the "surge" was detected yesterday so I'll be having transfer on Wednesday, providing the defrosting goes well;)
Hope you are all ok today! Be back later to do persies:)
