Wow.....I'm gone for a few weeks and now I can't catch up! I tried going back through but just got confused sorry!
SO I'll just say a big congrats to anyone that has got the good news they were hoping for, big hugs to anyone who needs one :grouphug: and fingers crossed for all those that are waiting for results or EPU's or transfers. I have missed you all and hope you are hanging in there. And hello to any new ones that I don't know yet!
AFM - Sorry I have been MIA, it all got a bit much for me for a while there but am back on doing ok for the moment. Having our FET done on sunday.....am feeling pretty nervous seeing as it's our last frostie and we don't know when we will be able to do another stim cycle (if we have to) BUT I need to stop thinking about that!! I am trying so hard to be positive but don't know how good a job I'm doing. Will keep you posted.
-
Jilly just to add to what Jupiner said sometimes the ones that are so far ahead can also slow down a bit so don't worry to much. The others still have time to catch up
Loops hope everything goes well for you tomorrow i reckon its your month. Someone is definately looking out for you
Renee so sorry this one was not the one. Take the time to look after yourself and I'm sure you'll be back again when you feel ready. It really does take alot out of each of us as the hopes and expectations we have are shattered but I've seen in on here time and time again when ladies feel like they cant do it again after another no then they come back and eventually they get the positive. Hope you can take some inspiration from that I know I do.
AFM I was so excited I received a call from the immunoligist to say they had a cancellation next week and did I want it I felt guilty for a momnet cause it was going to be a short week then thought stuff that my health is more imporatant than work so said yes when is it and then had to say no cause next Thursday there is no way I cannot be at work got people flying down from Sydney especially for a workshop with me. Sorry for the rant

Hi Everyone,
Lairdoz, Terry, Mum-2-Be, Brunette, Melttc, Melissal, Thank you for your kind thoughts....
My lap went well and was not as traumatic as I had anticipated, although my DH was a great support. I briefly saw my FS afterwards who said he found more endo (which had only been suspected) than he had expected. Some was removed, however some has adhered to my bowel so was too tricky to remove without damaging it. One tube is definately blocked and I have polycystic ovaries and had some ovarian drilling done. So feels like a complete overhaul!
Have been quite sore but nothing that isn't managable with meds. Looking forward to my visit to FS in a couple of weeks to get more detail on the next step forward.
Loops - what a wonderful gift!!! It makes you realise that there are truly some wonderful people in this world. BTW are you taking any pessaries? Just curious, as I was told on my FET to continue taking them until bt. If pg was confirmed, then they were to be continued for the first 12 wks. When do you find out what all your levels mean???? I feel so badly that you are being kept in such limbo.
Juniper - I will PM you on further lap detail if you like to help give you an idea on what to expect for your lap. You will be fine.
Renee - :hug:
Hello to all you other lovely ladies. Sorry for lack of persies but my attention span is still a little bit hazy.:redface:
-
wow so much is happening in here now, and i was only just saying that it was a bit quiet.
loops: hope BT goes well tomorrow, good luck to you.:pray:. fingers crossed. yeah for the cheque, what an amazing gift and what a generous thing for someone to do. a big hug for them. i want my parents to send me a cheque, just because they love me, but if i waited for that cheque to arrive they'd prob be deceased. i am really hoping all goes weell on fri for you.
melissal: hi
marcellus: hope all is well
danyelle: hi to you
terry: acu is so good, do it. i love it now and it was the girls on BB that suggested i do it, i am so glad they did.
juniper: how are you going?, hope all is well
renee: big hugs 4 you. :grouphug:
mum2b: yeah for ET, acu is so good, wow you must have been so relaxed to fall asleep
good luck TWW, with your two embies. x o:pray:
lairdoz: 8 follies good. yes acu is so good. they usually like you to do it for 3 weeks before a transfer but i never started mine til after my IVF, it was when i was doing my FET's. i love it.
missk: how are you going. hope all is well. when do you have your scan?
jily: i had ICSI, but don't have any answers for you, sorry. hope it all works out. good luck to you.. x
bj81: good luck FET, sending you some positive vibes.:goodluck:
AFM: had FS app today, went well. said i could start whenever i want to , this was good. woohoo.
will prob wait til next month as just want to get a few things out of the way first then it's all happening for me. was a good visit.
so it looks like IVF/ ICSI 2nd cycle to start at end of march and if all goes to plan start of april will be EPU and ET. woohoo. DH wants me to get them extracted and then freeze them all till we finish building our house, but then it'll prob never be finished or when i am 90 years old. MEN !! so annoying.
we'll see what i can do . some bribing.
chat soon.

Hi all
Thanks for all the hugs, very much needed. Still feel like crap!!
Just a quick question, has anyone ever used or is using herbs from sharkey's healing centre. Or do you know of anyone who has. Saw her on A Current Affair a couple of years ago, and she has been recommended by a number of people. Just wondering if anyone had any experiences with her.
Hope everyone is doing well, will catch up on personals soon (although that could take me ages!!!)
-
Renee - We tried Sharkeys a few years ago (before IVF) and they were great. Unfortunately we were pretty new to the infertility game and didn't stick with it very long. But I know quite a few people that have had success with them. I know after only a few months on their herbs my cycles started to have some regularity. I would probably go back now if it wasn't for the cost, I would have to give up acupuncture and there is NO way I'm doing that :) Have you looked up their website?

Hi ladies!
Hope you're all well, and everything is progressing nicely, for those of you jabbing and sniffing away. Just a quick post, I feel slack I haven't caught up on personals, there's so many people in here!
Marcellus - could you take me off the list, I'm out, as of yesterday. AF arrived in full force (even though my temp didn't drop - I'm v. confused). Off to drown my sorrows tonight, going out for dinner to celebrate my birthday! :doh: Bad timing...
Will keep lurking, but am going to lay low for a few weeks to regroup, till IVF starts later this month. Good luck to everyone in here, I hope all your dreams come true! :pray:

Hi lovely Ladies
Firstly ~ thank you all for your kind words and loving support for our trying time and also our wonderful "Pay it Forward".
Jilly ~ thanks hun, GL with the follies, hope they grow to a good size, FX for you.
BJ ~ Good to see you back and wishing you all the very best for this next FET.
Terry ~ Sorry you had to cancel the appointment, must be frustrating but you'll have other opportunity, just got to find that right time. x
Tantee ~ Funny you should ask about the pesseries because I was on Crinone but when I had my first blood test and HCG was very low, my nurse and myself were expecting for the HCG to drop then as Id been bleeding so she didnt say continue them, then when my reading went up I suddenly realised I should probably still be using the crinone so I asked and yes Ive started on it again.
I hope the overhaul works wonders and helps you to achieve your dream very soon.
JBM ~ Thanks heaps, sorry your parents can't or wont help you out at all. Im so pleased your FS appointment went well and I really hope you guys get to do FET in April, excited for you x.
Renee ~ Good to see you around, big hugs and I hope you can have another go soon.
Leabie ~ Im so sorry AF arrived - big hugs, hang in there, it'll happen. Happy Birthday!!
Hi to anyone ive missed and all the best with cycles and just life in general. Group hug!
AFM ~ had BT early this morning, so hoping to get the results today and maybe i'll have some indication as to what is going on. I did another POAS yesterday and the 2nd line came up before the control line and darker than it, so if thats any indication hoping its good.
-
Loops, that sounds promising! FX for great results today! :crossfingers:
tantee, I'm glad the lap went well. Sorry to hear he couldn't remove all fo the endo, but I hope the work he did do makes a huge difference! Did you do a bowel prep before the lap? I'm just wondering if he couldn't remove the endo on the bowel because you hadn't done a bowel prep? It seems that not everyone does it, but I've been told to...
Leabie, sorry to hear AF is visiting. :comfort: I hope you can have a great birthday anyway. Are you taking any progesterone? That may explain why your temp is still up? Otherwise, I usually do a HPT if my temps stay up because some women can get AF-type bleeding in early pg. Of course, the HPT has always been BFN when I've done that... :redface:

Sorry Leabie :hug:

Hello Ladies!!!!!!!!!
Wow!! Lots of action in here!
Firstly i want to say.......
Marcellus - Hon, thanks for keeping the list up to date.....i don't mind at all...i just want to see more names on it!!
Loops - babe!! I am so happy that this is a possible BFP for you and i am refusing to think anything else..cause i don't want to send any negative vibes. I am sending you all :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: in the world!! I am also overwhelmed at the generosity of the "anonymous cheque donor" and to them i would like to say....
" you have the greatest heart ever and may God grant you everything you desire in life, because of your selflessness...you have helped a wonderful and dear friend of mine..Thankyou!!! :hug:
To all the other ladies....sorry about the no personals, but for those of you who had negative outcomes this time..remember each time we go through this is another chance of a BFP. GL
-
hi guys
Renee: hugs to you again. x o
leabie: hus for you too, hope you had a nice birthday. xx
loops: hoping for good BT results, how dare they not ring you. argg, now do you have to wait for the weekend to be over?, or will they call you today. praying for a BFP.
juniper, coral and emerald star: hi to you
hi to everyone else too.
nothing new for me. now just waiting for my next cycle in April. here we come 2nd IVF/ ICSI.
-
Leabie - sorry to hear about AF arriving:hug:hope you are doing ok and had a good birthday.
Loops - How are you holding up? Hope BT has a poaitive outcome for you.
JBM - thanks.
BJ - thanks, yeah i have checked it out, not too sure what to do. I have never done accupuncture before and would really like to give that a go also. The herbs sound good but DH is the reason for our difficulty not me so not sure.
Hi to everyone else
ATM - still waiting for AF to arrive! Had some good news that we don't have to wait a cycle and can jump straight into FET. So will start BT's on day 12 of cycle. GL to everyone waiting on BT results or are in the process of a cycle. :p
-
Well just got the call from the clinic and our embryo didn't survive the thaw :( Am so gutted. It's just not fair! Can't afford to do another full cycle until who knows when.....I am seriously losing faith that this will ever happen. Sorry for the rant ladies, don't know how I'm going to pick myself up from this one.
