It’s been a little while since I was here and I see the action has only increased!
Loops, I’m thinking of and praying for you. I really hope someone can give you an absolute really soon.
Congrats to Miss Kand Emstar. I’m completely jealous (in a very good way) and wish each of you a wonder and happiness filled 9 months.
Lairdoz, good luck with the injections. I’m a day or two ahead of you.
Mum2Be, that’s a great number of embies! Good luck with your ET tomorrow.
Hello to all you other ladies keepin’ the faith!
AFM, I had quite the meltdown after my last cycle and needed to be gone for a bit. DH and I decided at the 11th hour that we would go again this month. And so here I am, back for more punishment! I sure am thankful for all you beautiful women, at all your various stages, for the comfort and encouragement you all give. So here I am, jabbing away each night. My FS reckons I’ll go for harvesting next Wed or Fri. I sure do hope it’s Wed!
EMERALD - SOOO pleased that everything is looking good for you. Your levels have looked fantastic all along and can’t wait to hear about seeing that little heartbeat on Monday!!
RENEE - awwww big hunny. I am still hoping that everything is going to be OK, stay positive
MISSK - how you doing hun? Having a stupid moment atm, how much longer before you have a scan? Exciting!!!!!
BRUNETTE - good luck for your 2ww, just curious as I haven’t gotten around to ringin my clinic yet but how soon after your stim cycle did you have to wait before your FET? I keep on thinking I should give acupuncture a go - so you just have a pre and post transfer session? Might have to look into it before my FET.
TANTEE - hoping all went well with your lap and you aren’t feeling too rough
LAIRDOZ - hope you are feeling a bit better this week, I was a huge sook last week as well. VERY embarrassingly, I had my little meltdown at work the day before my BT!! My mum had been away pretty much from the time stims started until a few days before my BT and I went to see her the day before and just lost it. Nothing like being able to have a big bawl on Mum’s shoulder!!!! I have everything crossed that you will see loads of lovely looking little follies in your scan today and that you stay nice and relaxed for at least the next week or so!!
M2B - yay for 10 eggies - awesome!!!! Rest up and FX for a great fert report, oops just kept reading - woohoo for 6 lil embies!!!! Good luck for ET today!
TERRY - I agree wholeheartedly!! Glad you had a lovely night - DH and I are the same, we are constantly reminding each other that we, as a couple, are the most important thing throughout the whole process and what is the point of going through all this if it tears us apart. SO yup, continuing to love and support is paramount
LOOPS - wow this must be absolutely doing your head in. Hopefully Friday will bring some more definitive news for you - how soon can you actually get a scan and be able to see anything?
MEL - Hoping you carry on growing some more little eggs, I’ve heard people say how relaxing AP is and how they nearly fall asleep during it!! I have wondered how relaxing getting stuck with needles can really be - no doubt will find out next cycle. So you are finding second time round not so stressful so far? This cycle, I was a bit of a shocker, I think just all the unknown got to me a bit - at least next time, will know what to expect
MOONFLOWER - welcome back and good luck for this cycle
ME - just plodding along. AF has finished so quick question - should I expect my cycle to be a bit haywire this month or should it go back to normal relatively quickly (was regular before IVF). Waiting waiting to be able to do FET. On a really exciting note, my brother and SIL have been through two absolute dismal failures of IVF cycles, dismal to the point they had given up on even trying again and my brother rang the other day to say my SIL is 13 weeks preggo naturally - miracles can happen so stay strong and believe, ladies!! Phew that was a bit of marathon post - I take my hat off to anyone who has managed to wade through it!!!!
Lairdoz ~ thanks so much, you are wonderful! Hope you're doing ok and excited about this try.
Brunette ~ thanks hun and all the best in TWW, hope you dont go too crazy, FX and TX
Moonflower ~ Great to see you back and all the very best for this cycle.
Melttc ~ thanks so much, unfortunately Im back to thinking its ectopic. Im just looking forward to finding out def what the go is, shouldnt be too much longer - its certainly been a long rollercaoster ride, All the best to you for this cycle, will have F and TX!
Melissa ~ thanks gorgeous. Im up to 3weeks since fertilisation took place, I think its 5weeks at the earliest but Im not too sure when that means from. I would think from when fertilisation took place. GL, hoping you can do your FET soon xo
AFM ~ Im back to thinking its ectopic. Ive had shoulder pain starting and abdominal pain and unfortunately I just have to bloody wait until my BT Fri as its too early to show up on ultrasound and just have to wait and hope nothing ruptures. Although I have stopped bleeding
On a positive note ~ someone out there is extremely generous and thoughtful and has sent us a very anonymous cheque - untraceable. If it happened to be anyone of you wonderful people on BB we thank you from the bottom of our hearts xo. Because of this we will now be able to do another cycle in the not too distant future. We are not sure if its family, friends or someone we dont know well at all - though they would have to know our address or have gone to a lot of trouble to find it.
Just found out, the earliest they can probably do a scan is about the 15th/16th March. Just have to wait it out until Fri for a start with BT. Nurse was very nice again but its all just still very frustrating.
Loops - hang in there sweet, and take care of yourself. OMG that is sooooo cool about your anonymous cheque, doesn't that just restore all your faith in people? Did you cry? I would've bawled my eyes out
Wow Loops, the ups and downs continue. How amazing that someone sent you money!
That's fantastic news for your brother and SIL Melissal! Hope you can get your own good news soon too. I think, as with all things, it just depends - some people's cycles are disrupted, others go right back to normal.
Loops, that is fantastic that someone sent you a cheque.
There's beautiful caring people out there willing to help others and wanting nothing in return.
I'm in the same basket as you Melissal, I would have bawled my eyes out too.
Loops hang in there my thoughts are with you and I hope that its just a very late implantation
Brunette good luck with your 2WW hope this is your month. I'm a bit like you too find the first week quite easy and then slowly go insane during the second
To all the girls gabbing hope that your bodies are being kind and growing some nice little follis
Just a quick note on acupuncture I have been seeing someone since last year once a month and when I was doing cycles I would try to do one before a transfer and then after. The one thing she said to me is that it takes our bodies a while to start to respond to trying to get pregnant. So although I belive acupunture works I think that you need to be doing it for a while to prepare your body
Loops, from memory I think they need the hcg levels to reach around 1500 before they can see anything on a scan. (It may be a bit higher or lower, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong.) I've still got everything crossed for you.
Melissal, I always find my cycles take a while to go back to normal after IVF. The cycle after I usually O a week late but then have a short LP. It seems to take a few cycles to get back to my normal LP. Some women find they get straight back to normal though, so I hope you don't have long to wait.
Terry, my acu wanted 4 months to get the maximum benefit from her treatments because eggs take 4 months to grow from start to finish. Of course, now that I haven't been for 2 months I'll have to start over again...
Wow so much has happened in here today. WIll have to catch up on it all later as @ work. Just a quick msg to say unfortunately we will not be having our little miracle anywhere in the next nine monthsMy Beta has fallen to 11 so AF should arrive very shortly. Just can't believe it was another chem preg, so not fair!!!!!
Renee - I'm that the test is wrong. Are you going in for another test soon?
Emerald Star - I need to get added to the TWW list - I should have my BT on 17 March!! Hope all is going well for you and bubs!!
Miss K - hope everything is going well for you!
Loops - that is great about the money!! There are still some decent people out there!!
Brunette - hope your coping well during the TWW!!
A big hi to everyone else!!
AFM: the ET went really well!! I had acupuncture before and after which was sooo relaxing!! I fell asleep during both of them!! And I now have two embies on board!! Just trying to relax now for them to implant. SOOO exciting!!
I'm baaaaack!
I sure am thankful for all you beautiful women, at all your various stages, for the comfort and encouragement you all give. So here I am, jabbing away each night. My FS reckons I’ll go for harvesting next Wed or Fri. I sure do hope it’s Wed!
