LT TTC & Assisted Conception Feb- Mar 2010

Hi guys, I'm jumping back in as I've started my first FET. My body is a strange creature as for the last couple of months we used an ovulation predictor test and I was surging on day 16 one month and day 17 the next. We've just finished a 30-day detox prescribed by my acupuncturist, complete with Chinese herbs for each of the three stages. Anyway, I only had to do two BTs as my surge was day 12 and most likely ovulation day 13! I'm hoping this detox has got rid of a lot of excess estrogen and brought forward my ovulation. March 1 is my ET so not long to go at all.

Marcellus, you ask about a HRT FET. What is involved in that? I have to take pessaries three times daily and progesteron tablets twice daily from day 16 due to spotting in between period and most likely LH problems. Is this the pills and hormones you talk of?

Hi to all those familiar names and some not-so-familiar!

Wow, I'm MIA for a few days and now I can't catch up!
I will spend some time back tracking tomorrow to catch up with you all but just wanted to send a special big hug to Loops. I'm so sorry honey :( Thinking of you and sending lots of love your way xxx

Hi ladies,
Just a little rant..
its been a few hard days, but i think we are getting over the shock of it now.The nurses at my clinic made me appointment for my FS for tomorrow morning to ask lots of questions, so that makes me feel a lot better, im sorry that i ditch you all :redface: i was just so upset and heart broken i didnt want to bring all you down with me. i just cant understand how our egg could fertilize and then just stop? i keep asking myself did they do something wrong, like leave it out of the incubator to long maybe, or did they wait to long to put the egg and sperm together?but anyway theres lots of questions...


Em Star - how awful you must be feeling i know theres nothing to say to make you feel better but i do hope it gets better

Loops - sorry to hear AF has come..... its just not fair

MelissaI- guess you are feeling the same as some of us, i agree we all need a group hug

.melttc- good luck with your cycle :crossfingers:

Renee - wishing you the best hope we get some good news in here soon.

Miss K - not to long now, im so glad your going strong! got everything crossed for you :crossfingers:

To anyone i have miss , theres just so many now ... wishing you all the best .

Hi to all

Hello to anyone i haven't met and hi to all those i have.

To those ladies who are feeling a bit down i hope each passing day makes it a little bit easier. :D

To those starting the process all the very best over the next couple of weeks.

Miss K - How's things with you! Is the TWW getting to you? not long now.

littlegem - thanks i'm :pray:hard!!! I don't think they know why some continue to fertilse and some don't. We had 7 fertilse right up to day 4, then come day 5 three hadn't developed anymore. I know my first cycle we had 12 fertilse and ended up with one. The clinic told me that the quality of my eggs during that cycle were poor and that was why they all didn't make it. Hope you get the answers you need;)

ATM - I am trying to keep very busy and very positive. :tmi:warning, just a question, i am using the crinone gel twice a day and yesterday i had some of the build up come out as it does, and there was a slight pink tinge to it. Has this happened to anyone else? yesterday was only 3 days after ET, so way too early for AF, right? I promised myself i wouldn't read into too much but it is soo hard!! Apart from that i feel really good and positive about it this time, i know that sounds weird.

Melttc ~ thanks hun. My uncle is a naturopath so yes we both have tablets he has given us and I def think they helped as well as the Menevit DH has been on because everything was a bit better this time, DH count was a lot better and mobility and we did get a HCG reading so that is what is keeping me going at the moment. Thanks for the help though.
GL leading up to Monday!

Brunette ~ all the best for March 1! Hope you get that BFP very soon!

BJ ~ thanks for the lovely hugs! Hugs back to you and how are you going, hope things are starting to get a bit easier.

Littlegem ~ rant all you want, me can all help you. Unfortunately I think some just dont make it, we had a few go in the first few days after EPU. I think it is usually just the quality. Feeling for you sweetie :hug: Next time I hope they get a lot more eggs for you. Hang in there - the docs will sort something out. :comfort:

Renee ~ thanks hun! GL with everything, sounds more like implantation blood at day 3 or possibly from the cathetor, def dont think it would be AF yet. Stay positive!

Hey all, I was MIA for one day (had to attend a conference) and so much has happened!!

Em Star - I was talking to a lady today at my FS and she said the same thing - its too early to see it yet - but that doesn't mean its not there!! :pray: for you!!

Loops - Sorry to hear AF arrived in full force. Hope the tractor sells quickly and your get the BFP that your so deserve.

Littlegem - I'm really sorry that none turned out. Just remember we are all here for you if you need to talk!! :grouphug:

Renee and Miss K - hope you both are surviving the 2ww. FX that you guys get some nice big fat positives soon! I'm counting on the fact that by the time I come to on Monday after EPU I'll be able to read the BFP from Miss K!!

Melissal - what is happening? We are here for you ...

Melttc & Brunette- hi and good luck!! :crossfingers: your time in this thread is short and sweet!!

Hi to anyone else I missed.

AFM - I went to the acupunturist yesterday afternoon - she said that if you have acupunture before and after ET, it increases your chances by 42% - 65% (or something like that...) So she is just around the corner from the Day surgery place so I'm going to give it a go - If it can't hurt, why not!! I had another scan this morning - FS said that there are now 8 on one side and 5 on the other. He's upping my dosage of FHS a little to. So we are on track for EPU on Monday and ET on Wednesday!!

:hug: littlegem It's so hard when stuff like that happens. You can always offload in here - it's a safe place to do so. It's hard in real life to find people that get it - thank goodness for bb.

Renee - I've never been on crinone, but can't it sometimes cause spotting...? If it's only a little, then hopefuly it's implantation, particularly at this stage. :goodluck:

all the best mum-2-be for EPU & transfer! You've reminded me that I wanted to try acupuncture this time round too!

Brunette - all the best for your transfer, it's so soon! I'll be on those hormones, but have to do it the whole cycle and up to week 12-14 if successful as they take over completely from the ovaries.

Hope you're still happily jabbing melttc ;)

Still hanging in there EmStar? I hope it was just too early and that you've found comfort in the arms of your DH and other loved ones.

I'm hanging out for the next bfp... :pray:

littlegem: hugs for you
renee: TWW is so hard, i wish i could make it go faster. good luck to you
loops: hi, that nasty AF, go away, sending you a BIG HUG. x o
mum2b: acupuncture is so good, and relaxing, actually it was the ladies in here that atlked about it all the time that made me start going, thanks guys for that, i love it and have gone regularly now for prob 18 months or so. i love it. good luck with EPU on mon and ET on wed, fingers crossed.

marcellus: hi and welcome, i just went and read your success story, thanks for that, it is good for us to see these things and see some light at the end of the tunnel. good luck FET

melissal: hi
melttc: 2nd IVF for us too, so much more relaxed, i may try yoga too. also shiatsu massage is very relaxing and safe to do when TTC.

bj81: hi, yes lots happening
brunette: not long to go til ET, good luck to you.

AFM: well obviously i do not have a life ATM, i am supposed to be working ATM but hey i have finished all my jobs, so i deserve to be on BB.
i have been on BB every day for ages, sometimes i am annoyed when i don't have time to get on here. LOL
8 days til FS app for me.
i am going to be a bit more relaxed this round, at least i know whats going to happen now, it may make it a bit easier.
i am a bit worried because i just seem to pick up every "little"bug after 1st IVF/ ICSI but i am taking loads of supplements this time and so much more relaxed than before.

hope this makes for a BFP for me in a few months, woohoo.

chat soon

Hi Renee - In answer to your question, I have been on pessaries for all my IUIs and IVF cycles (stim and frozen). I am given two types depending on what treatment I am getting -either white progesterone ones or the Crinone ones. Warning: TMI is coming: I quite frequently got a pink-tinged discharge. I've been told that the Crinone can upset things down there and even cause thrush in some people. GL for this cycle!

Hi Loops! Sorry to hear your news. I too hope you can sell that tractor for a really great price so you can do another cycle.

M2B - I have read of good statistics online about acupuncture increasing your chances of success if you have it before and after ET. I started seeing one this year - that is why I did the detox, too - and it is quite relaxing. I am booked in to get treatment before and just after my ET. GL to you!

Hi JBM - After the first cycle, you know more what to expect, hey? I have never got sick during a cycle - touch wood - but maybe that's because we're on so many supplements, too. I feel as if I don't need to have breakfast after I've ingested about 15 tablets in the morning. GL this cycle.

Marcellus - It sounds from what you've said that I'm doing a HRT FET and I didn't even know it :) I have a problem with spotting in between natural cycles, so I've always been given the pessaries. If I ever fall pregnant - please let it be this cycle! - my FS wants me to be on them until 12 weeks, I think. Have you also tried acupuncture in previous cycles?

Hi to all the other ladies I have missed. Hope you are all feeling strong and positive. Sending some good vibes your way now!

Littlegem - I hope you get some answers as to why tomorrow!!! I am sorry to hear about the outcome for you soo far :hug:

Renee - The pink is completely normal :) I hope your not too insane yet at 4dpt!!!

Mum-2-Be - Good Luck for mondays EPU!! FX! Are you excited about it?

JBM - That FS appointment will be here before you know it!!! I have been on BB nearly everyday too its my addiction though its been a bit quiet I have found...

Melttc - How is the jabbing going??

Lairdoz - How confusing are all of these changes!!! I really hate all the medicare changes and capping that have come in place!!

Marcellus - Welcome welcome welcome (even though I know you're always lurking in here hehe) I am unsure about the FET but would like to know for future referance... I hear you with the "damn ovaries" phrase no matter how much you poke them they never want to wake up *rolls eyes*

AFM - Plodding along at 7DPT and no symptoms here other than a little bit of sooky lala, My BT is due 2weeks before our angel would have turned one I think thats whats all getting to me ... Though I am trying to keep busy... The nurses at QFG have called me every few days and checked up on me incase of OHSS and to make sure all is well I thought that was lovely!

Hi ladies

well I'm finally back from my lovely holiday in Thailand relaxed and ready to go. It seems that is 3 weeks so much can happen in this space.

Sorry for no personals I think at the moment I'm way out of the loop but I promise to come on more regulary now and catch up.

To all you lovely ladies going thorugh your cycles good luck and may we really start to hear of some BFP's.

AFM still in limbo. Have my appoitment with immunoligist 16 March so until then I can't do anything I'm just hoping that I don't need to do anymore testing and that he can just prescribe what I need to stop my body rejecting my little snow bub's and be on my way. Just a quick question I have always had a regular period but now haven't had one since 26 dec both my dr and FS have said not to worry its probably all the weight loss and personal training I've been doing and that if it doesn't arrive soon they can give me something to start it off. Have any of you been in that situation before?

Hey girls, just lurking and laying low for a few days while I pick myself up. Just a quick question - when the clinic rang to break the bfn news to me, they asked when I wanted to do an FET so I just said asap. The nurse said I had to have two periods so . . . AF has just started today and as soon as the next one has finished I start getting monitered? Or do they mean 2 full cycles rather than two AF? Should've asked at the time but was in a cafe and trying not to look like a complete idiot by bawling in the middle of the lunchtime rushh :redface:

brunette: i never got sick with first IVF either, didn't get the synarel headaches that everyone talks about , but once ET had happened i did not like the crinone gel, that was yukky! ver yukky.
i am taking 6 vitamins in morn and 6 at night so yeah i prob rattle but hope it will help me.

missk: yeah i want to keep up with whats happening with everyone ATM too. as for the TWW it's good your having no symtoms, because we over analyse every twinge, or i do anyway. i have a had all the preg symtoms with some of my FET's and still got a BFN so i say just ignore everything. LOL good luck for the rest of the TWW. :-)

terry: hope you get some answers with your app, i have no aswers about AF going away. sometimes i wish mine would go away, be even better if it was because i was preg.
i have been to the gym heaps in the past and lost heaps and mine still came, wish i had some answers there. but i suppose if the docs are not worried and they can make it come it's prob not a prob? i don't know. good luck

melissal: call back the clinic and ask them, they'll tell you and then you don't have to worry about it. good luck.

afm: nothing new really. the clinic called me to remind me of next weeks app with FS and to remember to bring my new referrals for DH and I. so i have put them in an envelope in my diary just in case i forget. LOL. sometimes i have aserious problem with remembering stuff.

keep you informed.

My lurking is purely on a professional basis....:p

JBM - are you nervous about getting back into it? You've been on a break haven't you? Hope the apt goes well and you don't forget anything. I'm the same, load my bag up well in advance.

Melissal, guess you'd better set yourself up somewhere private to ask. Hope it just means one full cycle :hug:

A trip to Thailand sounds marvelous Terry!

It must be hard to face anniversaries like that MissK. Hopefully a positive test result can put a better spin on things for you :hug:

Me - I've got my progynova and stand ready.... just need af, but not due for, oh, anywhere up to a week or so from now :rolleyes:

Hi ladies,
miss K & JBM thank you for your kind thoughts

marcellus- thank you and i will take your advice ,it seems to be getting hard each time i hit that wall, and you are right, I dont really have anyone to talk to about things that are happening,but have found that BB is a wonderful place , with the best girls in the world.

Renee- thankyou for sharing you story with me.. it meant a lot.

Loops12- thanks for the encouragement... im hanging in there. stronger by the day :)

Everyone else i have missed, thank you too...

well update time: I am in the to hard basket!! but hey we not giving up without a fight!!
My FS doesnt want to change my treatment plan, he said that we have pretty well, got as far as one can get...
but he is doing the AMH test ... ( Anti mullein hormone ) to see how that egg reserve of mine is atm. he also agreed to allow me to have a back to back treatment, as i have no possible chance of OHS. he also talked about considering a donor egg op also.
Hubby and i have talked about this over the past few days, and we are thinking give it one last try, if we still get the same outcome this time around maybe we should stop banging our heads against the brick wall , and maybe get on with life. so fingers crossed that the AMH test comes back good and theres still some little eggies left hey :pray:

Mum-2-be ~ Thanks so much. Yeh Ive been told those stats about the acupuncture too and definitely think it helped us this cycle. Prior to our next IVF (whenever that may be) my fertility acupuncturist is recommending we chart my cycle as well, temperature, ovulation etc and then tailor the acupuncture to that. So some of them can do wonderful things and I'm so grateful to have found mine recently.
GL with it all, hugs.

Brunette ~ thanks to you also, we prob have a better chance of selling it this yr, so FX! How is everything with you?

JBM ~ thanks hun. Not long for you now, GL!!

Melissa ~ good to see you hanging around, hope you're feeling ok. Perhaps give em another call when you are alone and find out for sure.

AFM ~ Got BT results this morning and a reading of 38 HCG, so still a bit there and have to have another BT next week. Will be assuming it will keep decreasing now though as Ive had a fair bit of bleeding. But hey as I said earlier at least we got that bit closer. Still very hard but keeping myself busy and trying not to read too much into it all. Focusing on getting the bills paid and advertising our farm machinery we want to sell incl tractor.

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. :hug: 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. :hug: 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...

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!

xxx

Loops- im so so very sorry for you :comfort:,

Terry - I hope you get some answers soon!!!

Melissal - I hope you got your answers today xxoo

JBM - Its heaps easier to reply and catch up with the goss in here cause the thread takes off!!! I hope all goes well next week for you :)

Loops - I :pray: that everything sells fast so you can move on with this next cycle!! If you need anything pm me even if its just to rant etc xxoo

Juniper - Good luck with your LAP!!!

Lairdoz - I hope your doing ok hunny big :hug:

AFM - Ok so I caved about 5 minutes ago and 2 lines came up instantly I don't know whether to believe it or not I am still in shock!! I am only 8DPT and its like the 5th time I have been to the toilet today!!!

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

HI :hello: 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!

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

Hi all :hello:

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 :pray: 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...

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

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

:happyforyou: Hooray!

All the best for your pickup mum2b! Basically they knock you out and when you wake up they tell you how many they got, and once you're on your feet you go home. Nothing to it! Well.... aside from the anxious anticipation of course. Hopefully the GA doesn't mess with you too much. Just take it easy - some people get sick.

It's the wierdest thing to just lose a chunk of your life like that - that's what it feels like to me. Not a fan, but luckily I recover very quickly from it.

:hug: Lairdoz

All the best for you upcoming lap juniper - is it your first?

Hope you're doing ok loops - all the best with the tractor sale

Miss K - congrats that is great news, i hope everything keeps coming along for you:dance:

M2B - Good luck for monday, it really is fine, they use quite a light GA, so it's not like having a big op. I get really sick with a normal GA but this one i can deal with and not feel too bad (by that i mean i don't get physically sick).

Hi to everyone else

ATM - i am starting to go a little crazy, i think i will cave like miss K did tomorrow. Just hate the waiting.

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

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.

Lairdoz, your friend sounds very kind to think of you. Just do what you need to, ok? Sometimes you just need to step back and let the people around you pick up the slack.
Take care~

Lairdoz, GL with your dinner. I can imagine how difficult that might be. Promise me you'll do something nice for yourself on the weekend? Doesn't have to be anything big. Just something that will help you smile for a few minutes. :hug:

Miss K, woo hoo! Congrats! I didn't think it sounded right that you'd get a false positive from the pessaries! Now, hcg booster shots on the other hand... GL with your scan!

marcellus, yes, this will be my first lap. I asked me old FS a year ago whether we should do it and he dismissed it (turns out he doesn't do them). I just wish now I'd pushed harder back then...

mum-2-be, GL with you EPU! :goodluck:

OK so i caved and just did a HPT, there was a faint positive line, but it was there. I have never seen it before, but not getting too excited as last time had a chem preg. I am 8DPT which i know can be too early. God what have i done, i think i just made my anxiety levels worse:doh:

Hope everyone else is travelling well.

Hi Lovely ladies

Last night at home, I did a long message and then it didnt go through so this is just a shorter one sorry as Im at work.

Thank you once again for all your lovely care and wishes.

Renee ~ that is excellent news! Hope it keeps getting darker.

Miss K ~ YAY, all the best for your scans etc :dance::clap:

Lairdoz ~ Sorry hun you've been through a lot and I hear your pain. But good luck for this next try, hang in there!! FX

Mum-2-be ~ GL for Monday - sounds like you have some good eggs there, FX

Hi everyone else and all the best with your cycles, hope to hear of more BFP's soon.

Emerald ~ how are you going hun, hope things are well.

AFM ~ Another turn of events - yesterday I decided to do another POAS expecting it to be BFN or close too but in fact it was the opposite, darker than the other ones I did last weekend.:wall: So I still have no idea and back to hoping and stressing. Trying so hard not to get too excited.

Hi again ladies
Sammie in TWW forum said earlier I could be having an ectopic pregnancy. Im pretty concerned now actually as I was just reading about them and the signs seem right and Sammie has had them and the symptoms sound exactly the same. Also i was reading that if suspected you should speak to specialist or DR as soon as poss because of risk of rupture I guess. But its a Sat and my nurse is also on leave next wk :wall: Not sure what to do.

Any help/advice appreciated from anyone.

Hey ladies

Renee - :dance: that is excellent news! :pray: it gets darker and darker!! - I'm hoping that neither of us get sick (DH is getting a TESA done) and its just a wonderfully memorable occassion!!

Miss K - :leap: That is GREAT!! Can't wait to hear the results of your scans!! :happyforyou:

Loops 12 - I'm not sure what to say, as I've never been through it before - but if your worried, go to a doctor or the hospital tomorrow - health is one thing we shouldn't be tardy with ... :pray: that everything is ok.

Marcellous - thanks for the heads up!! DH is going under too for a TESA, so we will both hopefully feel just fine afterwards!!

Juniper76 - good luck with your lap.

Lairdoz - Always remember, don't do anything you don't want to - if it gets too hard (especially so soon) then just say your sick and you need an early night!! Then go to the Gold Class movies:D

Emerald - haven't heard from you in a while - how is everything?

Hi to everyone else I missed...

AFM - I'm waiting up till 10:30 (QLD time!!) for my trigger shot!! So what else would one do but check BB!! I had my last nasal spray and FHS injection this morning - so no more having to remember taking them!! Otherwise, all is well!!

WOW its so quiet in here at the moment.

Thanks Mum-2-be, im not feeling as worried today after having good chat to Sammiejam but if i have the first sign of anything abnormal i'll be straight to the hospital.
GL with your trigger and EPU, will have FX

I did another POAS this morning and it pretty much came up positive straight away and darker than one before.
All im getting now is a watery mucous, with tiny bit of pink. Just have to wait until BT i guess on Wed, maybe earlier if I get too worried. I was reading too that it wont show up in a scan before 5 weeks anyway so hopefully if it is ectopic they get onto it quick.

GL everyone, hope you're well!

Loops, I'm still hoping this is good news :hug: or if an ectopic that they catch it early. Will be thinking of you.

:hooray: Renee! *darker and darker* *darker and darker*

hope the trigger went well M2b. I remember our first - smashing the bloody vial... the second cycle the nurse actually showed us how to open them properly :rolleyes:

Well, it's day 1 for me already! .... having second thoughts about the whole cycle thing, but figure we should press ahead or this baby is never going to happen.

Take care everyone!

Miss K & Renee - WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats girlies - sending you both loads and loads of stiky vibes
Loops - take care of yourself, :pray: that those levels were just slow to get off the ground. Can you ring your clinic tomorrow to see if they can give any advice or bring your BT forward?
Sorry but I've been absolute crap at personals atm and today is no exception but I'm here for a little vent. We had DH's nephew's 21st last night and being a typical Samoan family and quite church-orientated, there was a short service at the beginning of the party with church elders talking. One of these elders starts going on about how if a man is a good man, then he will be blessed with a wife whose vine will bear him many fruit (as in give him heaps of kids). Ugh, both DH and I were so offended, we aren't bad people so were quite put out. AND THEN, my charming MIL (a woman with 15 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildrem might I add) proceeds to tell me that she feels our pain as much as we do but we need to deal with our disappointment so that SHE doesn't have to walk on eggshells around us :wtf:? In other words, in my mind, we should just get over it and its no big deal. GRRRRRRR - vent over

mum2b: yes BB helps us to stay sane. hope trigger goes well and EPU. just make sure to take time afterwards, i went out and did heaps and then i felt so exhausted afterwards. yeah it was ok. i had no pain at all. good luck

missk: woohoo, yeah, i am so excited for you. BFP . yipee. hooray xo

marcellus: hi and good luck to you this time. are you doing IVF ?
renee: not long to go now til you know if it is a BFP, good luck and stick vibes for you.

lairdoz: big hugs 4 you. x oooo
juniper: hi to you
loops: good luck, fingers crossed for a BFP. x

AFM: nothing new to report for me ATM. i've got 4 days til i see the FS. woohoo.
i am being really positive but not unrealistic this time.

geez melissal, that is ....rough :hug: What a shame your MIL has to make it all about her.

Thanks JBM. Yeah, doing an HRT FET and starting popping my pills today.


** btw, don't forget, if you really need to unload we have a LT TTC vent forum which is only open to those that have been on bb for a while and actually LT TTCers or undergoing AC. If you're not already a member, just apply through group memberships under your user profile.

Loops - i hope everything is going ok, it sounds pretty scary and stressful, I would be pushing for a blood test tomorrow. Hope it all goes well.

Marcellus - thanks, God i hope this is it. Hope everything goes smooth with your cycle.

M2B - GL for EPU tomoz. Hope you get lots of lovely eggies.

JBM - thanks i have been really positive this time round so hopefully that pays off this time. I think there can be something to say for positive thinking hope it goes well with your FS.

Melissal - that sounds really rough hon. Don't you just love MIL's :rolleyes:Don't let her get to you, take as much time as you need.

Laridoz - hope your dinner party went well and that you are feeling a bit better about your stim cycle, it will happen (if i had a $1 for everytime i heard that, sorry). I went through a similar thing last night, going out for dinner with a group of friends 2 of which are pregnant and another has one already, so i spent hours discussing breast feeding, labour, bottles, prams and anything else to do with having a baby! Sometimes i think that people just don't take a second to think! I expected the baby talk but not it to be the sole topic!

Hi to anyone i missed!

ATM - did another HPT this morning and it was still very faint, so not sure what to think! I am hoping that it is just too early for it to show on a stick. Have BT tomoz so will let you all know then.

just poping in to wish you all the best with your upcoming events, scans, BT, injections ect,
