bj - I know what you mean about not wanting to change FS it is hard to start it all over again
Lairdoz - I am soo soo sorry to hear about your CP I hope you can do a back-2-back cycle and I hope it comes round real fast for you I would try frozen first if you have a tight budget....
Renee- GL for tomorrow I bet your excited
Tantee - I had Ovarian Drilling it didn't really work for me but some people it can help ovulate and fall naturally! I hope you are one of the lucky ones!! If you need to know or ask anything let me know ok xxoo

Emerald Star - I will be that all is well come Mondays results xxoo
Loops - please don't give up!!! I know its hard not to but try and hold onto a little bit of hope!! xxoo
Hi ladies,
sorry its been a while since i stuck my head in but, the last few days has been so busy..
Loops im sorry t hear about your eggies... there's not much worse.. big hugs xxx
AFM well all went good yesterday, we got 1 egg so im happy 1 is better then none.was pretty sick and sore last night , but seem to settle down now, or maybe im just too focused on waiting for a phone call lol. atm im pacing the house waiting for this bloody phone to ring to say it has been fertilized OMG i wished good new would ring in!!! im going stir crazy here... if all goes well then ET on Monday so fingers crossed xx will give you up date as so as it comes in!
Loops - I'm so sorry the same thing just happened to us and it is the worst feeling! We had borrowed money off my parents for it too. To go through all that for one shot is so unfair....BUT you are NOT allowed to give up yet!! You still have a little emby on board and everything you have left you have to give to him/her right now ok. There will be time to decide everything and get mad and upset later if you have to. xxx
Emerald - I'm glad that everything is ok. All the best for monday
Lairdoz - Boy that's a loaded question at the moment "what does your partner think"? How much time have you got?? We are not going so great at the moment so I'm kinda just making these decisions for myself...I am not going to decide about a new FS just yet, will see how this FET goes and then.....we'll see.
As for your question.....I would do the full stim. Those frosty's aren't going anywhere, you can always go back to them later. Frozen cycles definitely aren't as stressful and there are still plenty of success stories from FET's but what I did was ask myself "If these FET's don't work, would I go again anyway"? If the answer is yes then you may as well do it now while your in the swing of things. But only you know what you can cope with honey. All the best....
littlegem - That's so great! All the best for Monday. Will be sending all the positive thoughts I can muster your way.xxx
Renee - Hope everything goes well today!! Been thinking of you!!
just a really quick pop in as my mum has come up for the weekend to make sure i don't get up and do anythingEverything went great today we had a beautiful embryo put in, doc said it can't get any better than that. We also have 3 others that made it to blast stage and have been frozen already, with 3 stalling a bit. Will pop in tomoz and do some personals i'm going back to lay with my legs in the air
Does anyone know anything about Thyroid Auto Antibodies ????
My FS did their usual blood works in January and this time there might be a problem with Thyroid. I have been searching the internet for 3 days now and can't find anything about what is a normal result.
The nurse told me I have to speak to FS regarding it but I would love a heads up on the situation before I go back to see her on Tuesday.
Thyroid Auto Antibodies is 60.
The nurse said my FS doesn't treat it if its 60 and under.
But will treat it if its over 60 so I am boardline.
What is the normal range ??????
NK Cell Blood Test result came back 6.9% which is fine. The Ladies at the Lab said anything over 12% is not good and you need to be on Steroids.
Decided to take a break for a month or two - the stress from IVF stuff is doing my head in.
Have a great day everyone

Danyelle - I'm sorry but I don't really know anything about the Thyroid Antibodies. I had a look on the net also, but it seems very complex and I would not even dare to hazard a guess to what it means. I hope that you get your answers next week, although it is great to hear that your other results are fine.
Renee - What a great result. I hope you are resting up and feeling good. Sending positive vibes to your little embie.
Littlegem - GL for Monday.
Lairdoz - I'm sorry you have had such a tough week. In regard to your fresh/FET question - I think I remember reading somewhere (during the squillions of hours I have spent googling various TTC stuff) that there are Medicare rules in regard to having a fresh cycle if you still have a certain number of frosties (not sure how many). But don't quote me on that. As for the fresh cycle I suppose it would depend on the quality of your embies. I would probably go fresh if I had little confidence in their quality. However you hear stories of poor looking embies thriving and going on to be FET success stories. It is such a lotto!
My FS will be looking at an antagonist cycle next time which is much shorter than a down reg. Approx 30 days from jabbing to BT result and from what I understand can be used if you a good responder to meds.
Mum2B - Hope your scan goes well tomorrow and that your eggies are coming along nicely.
MelissaL - You are doing so well to have not POAS. I am a bit of a POAS fan. (I seem to always POAS on the very morning of AF even if it's been late/early - ironic really.)
GL for Tues only 2 more sleeps to go.
bj*81 - Hopefully you will not even need to consider a new FS after this cycle! I have just changed FS's and am feeling optimistic. It was not a problem ordering copies of my last clinic's records of previous cycles and only took a 2 days to get them. Sometimes a fresh outlook may make the difference.
Miss K - How are you surviving the 2WW? Hope you have plenty of distractions and that the time flies for you.
Loops & Emerald - Hope you are travelling well.
Sorry to anyone I have missed, I am still trying to get my bearings.
AFM - Came across an article in the Sunday paper in regard to a new test that will be available as soon as next month called AMH Testing. It has been dubbed as 'the Egg timer' and it is a blood test that will "accurately" tell women how many eggs they have left.
It measures the concentration of a specific hormone found in a woman's ovaries called anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) the test will cost approx $65. A low level indicates a depletion in egg supply and a possible poor response to IVF drugs and high levels can indicative of potential OHSS from stims.
So I guess it could be helpful for an FS to help determine dosage more accurately on a first cycle, which would be great in helping reduce the number of cycles or potential heartache in cancelled cycles.
I would try frozen first if you have a tight budget....
I bet your excited
that all is well come Mondays results xxoo
the same thing just happened to us and it is the worst feeling! We had borrowed money off my parents for it too.
