LT TTC & Assisted Conception Feb- Mar 2010

[Loula]

loops still praying for you hun, Hollybolly (wont mind me saying this) never had any frozen in 5/6 cycles and gtill got a BFP! so it can happen

[Renee]

Loops - I am sooo sorry honey. I know what it is like to not have any eggs left to freeze and it feels like you have been cheated somehow. Life can be cruel. I wouldn't cope with that news while i was at work. Here if you need.

[JBM]

i am just sending some positive vibes to all you ladies in here, hoping egg collection, ET and FET's or whatever part of a cycle you're up to you have good luck.
i mostly post in LTTC thread where you've been doing it for more than 12 months , but i still keep an eye on whats happening in here.

good luck

[Emerald Star]

Lairdoz - I am so sorry hon!! I really was hoping any of you ladies would be joining me....good to hear the positivity in your tone. Take care of yourself.

Bj*81 - Frustrating isn't it ?? Sometimes it is not a bad idea to see another FS...just take your file and move on...at the end of the day you want results...I was with one FS at my clinic for 3 of my IVF's and I decided to change to another one ( same clinic different FS) and i'm preggos!! so you never know! GL with your FET!

Renee - You are on the LIST!! GL with ET tomorrow!

Tantee - GL with everything and nice to hear from you again!

Mum 2 Be - Hope to see you join aour lists soon...try and relax!

Loops12 - I know sometimes you are so sure something is happening and then it turns out to be something completely different...keep the faith! Sorry about your eggies not being able to be frozen...i don't know what to say....I hope one way or another it all just happens for you real soon

Loula and JBM - Hi...Hope you guys are doing well too.

Danyelle - Thankyou...Thankyou....Thankyou soooooo much for your support today! You were my rock today!

AFM - Well, went for BT #2 today....while waiting for the nurses to call..i had a big scare...BROWN SPOTTING....bawled my eyes out....convinced that this was a short lived pregnancy...called Danyelle, who talked it all through with me and calmed me down...finally nurses called with BT results...results are as listed below:

16/2 Beta 184 P4 488
19/2 Beta 729 P4 504

Due to the spotting i have to go and see FS on Monday...Hoping nothing starts going south between now and then.

Thanks Loula and Renee for your support, much appreciated. So many lovely woman in here. I would be completely broken if it werent for you all. xoxo
2nd time with no eggs frozen, definitely going to ask to do 3day transfer next time.
I know it will happen 1 day for us!

Still got to hope this 1 sticks I suppose, even though not looking good.

Im sure the cycle holly got a BFP she did a 2 day TF then grew the rest to blastie but non froze. so i agree very much worth doing next time

Thanks Ladies for your replies -
Budget is an issue in the sense we don't want to spend what we don't need to, but luckily we can afford whatever is needed (if this makes sense!) but I think between emotional stress and the opportunity cost of IVF is what will stop us if it doesn't work.

So I guess you are saying if it wasn't a budget issue, you guys would choose a fresh cycle over a frozen even if it meant you have to wait longer for it? I would be really interested to get all your opinions on this one!

[*beannaithe*]

Lairdoz - firstly, big big for your chem preg. So glad you seem like you are doing ok. As for my 2 cents, I do think that I would choose a full stim cycle over FET if finances aren't really tight. I haven't done an FET yet but there must still be quite a lot of emotions running with that and if your frosties aren't as good quality, I think I would def bite the bullet and do a fresh cycle. HTH
Emerald - you go girl, that hcg rise is AWESOME!!!!! This is my job IRL (testing stuff like HCG) and that looks fantastic. Sorry about your spotting scare, that is one of the most awful things when the knicker-checking comes up with something horrible. BUT spotting in pg is so very common and normal so FX that all is well. Will be thinking of you on Monday
Loops - hang in there babe - hope you are feeling a little bi better and DH gave you heaps of great big hugs. You are so right, its NOT fair and I think every single girl in here will agree with you on that. We're here for you, cry and rant as much as you need sweets
Have forgotten everything I wanted to write, been doing THE dumbest things the last few days. Hmmmm anyone would think I was distracted for some reason

[juniper76]

Well, my sister is married and now in Fiji enjoying her honeymoon! I've been home for a couple of days now with AF and the slowest internet connection in history.

Tantee, I'm having my first lap in 2 weeks and am similarly nervous. I've got a huge list of hints from another (American) forum. I'll see if I can copy them into a PM for you. It's a looooong list...

Loops, none of this process is fair. I hope you can sell the tractor quickly so you don't have long to wait for you next attempt. If you ever want to talk, just let me know.

Lairdoz, I thought the only restriction Medicare had on stim cycles what that you can't start stims (ie puregon or gonal-f) within 30 days of last starting them?

littlegem, I'm so, so sorry to hear your little embie didn't make it. I know that feeling all too well as the same thing happened to us last IVF cycle (with 6 embies). Honestly, it took me a month to get over the devastation and move on. And even then I'd still start crying if I had to talk about it. It sounds like you've got a good plan to mov forward though. I always find that helps.

Emerald Star, I wish you were able to just sit back and enjoy being pg. I agree that it's not fair that anything should go wrong after all the difficulty involved in getting pg in the first place.

Renee, I think the crinone can sometimes irritate the cervix and cause spotting. It's unlikely to be AF this soon after ET. Try not to stress over it.

Marcellus, GL with your FET. I've only ever done a natural one, but from what I've read the HRT version doesn't sound too bad (compared to a fresh cycle, anyway).

Afm, nothing new - AF is here and I'm just waiting for my lap on the 10th. Should be right around O time so no TTC this cycle...

[sunshine 11]

HI Ladies,
Sorry not up to doing persies today as having a crying day as AF finally arrived after chemical. Am waiting on my clinic to let me know if I can start my meds for the Stim tomorrow as it's been very heavy today as day 1 and supposed to start meds for day 2 but I think my HCG is still there so not sure what I'm doing now.

Hope those in a similar situation are doing OK and hi to everyone else

I am hoping we get some BFP's on here soon as we really need some!

[Leabie]

MissK - I've posted in the 2ww thread, but - YAY YAY YAY! That's wonderful news! So excited for you.

HI to everyone in here, have been lurking of late, but still haven't caught up with all the posts yet. Hope to post more soon. Hope all you lovely ladies are well!

[sunshine 11]

Congrats Miss K - that is fantastic news. What a great way to start the weekend!

mum-2-be - Not long now! yippeee!

EM Star - Not sure if you visiting at the moment, but just know I am thinking of you and hope you are OK.

Loops - Hope you are OK too.

marcellus - Hi and thanks. It'a amazing how BB can make you feel better on a day when you feel like nothing is right with the world

Juniper - Good Luck with the Lap, I am sure all will go well.
Littlegem - Hi - I hope the test goes OK but good you guys are talking as that seems to be a huge benefit in this crazy rollercoaster we are living - to have a great partnership before anything else.

JBM - Hi there !

Hi to the no doubt many people I have missed.

AFM- Still can't stop crying. I have 14 people coming around for dinner tomorrow night and my 12 week pregnant and just announced it friend rang me to say (leaving a message because I didn't want to speak to her) that if I wanted to cancel I could. I want to but of course I won't. I am starting injections tomorrow for my stim but have no interest whatsoever as I feel like I am just throwing money away. Hope I feel better tomorrow.

[Miss K]

Hey girls just a really really quick one from me my bfp might be a false positive due to the pessaries stupid me as the progesterone may have hcg the admin said at FS's clinic so getting bloods today then monday aargh soo gutted now

[mum-2-be]

Hi all

Littlegem - Hopefully you have some answers now

Miss K - QFG told me during the 'nurses talk' "no matter how tempted you are - DO NOT get a HPT. The medication you are on will give a false reading". But - like you - I will probably be tempted anyway!! I'm that it wasn't a false one for you!! We must think positive!! Yes, I am really excited - I found out today I'll be admitted at 10:00am for a 12:00 EPU... I've never been under a general before either, so (between you and me) I'm a little scared too!! Monday is a lucky day for you and me!!

JBM - Never worry about the addiction, i think we all have it to this thread!! It's just comforting to know that there are other people out there going through the same thing - I think that coming on here helps our sanity!!

Melttc - Hope everything is going well!!

Marcellus - good luck with your FET

AFM - I went back to FS today to confirm everything was on course form Monday. He did a final scan and saw there was next to no room left in my womb - so he said that that was a positive sign!! I also picked up my trigger shot - which I have to take tomorrow night at 10:30pm. At least there won't be anymore nasal spray and jabs!!

I'm getting a little nervous (as well as REALLY excited) because this is my first time and I'm not too sure what to expect...

[Miss K]

Mum-2_be thanku Bring on Monday for you!!!

AFM - BT confirmed BFP so my scan will be Mon 15th Jan till then thankyou girls for helping me through this cycle!! I am still going to be in here for a while though xxoo
