Hi Ladies
Just another quick one. I stuggle to keep up lately. Because I wont be doing any IVF in the immediate future its hard to get on here all the time, hearing everyone getting excited. But that's not too mean I am not excited for you all because I am! I hope for the best for each and every one of you!!
Thanks for that article N2L - thought it was just a crock that stress can be a barrier!
Goodluck everyone - Hoping to see lots more BFP's in here very soon.
Tantee ~ I know how hard it is, try and take one day at a time if you can and dont go nuts reading heaps of stuff on the internet as I did that and it made me mental. and for you!! Your HCG sounds pretty good to me, all the best hun for the next scan.
AFM ~ I started to get a tiny bit hopeful because I am only at CD29 and usually my cycle are 34days and Ive had some spotting, was hoping it might have been implantation spotting but it seems to be getting worse On a positive note, I had a job interview Thursday, which went very well. Now just wait and see time, if I get it.
hey williever sorry to hear you are not feeling so good i have no idea how long it will take for you too feel better we all respond so differently... Hope you start to feel better soon x
Willi - Hope you are feeling better soon. It can be very uncomfortable can't it. I have read Sustagen (drink) is meant to help. Not sure why!
Tantee - How are you going? If I was you, I would be going insane waiting for that next BT! I hope it goes really well for you. I am looking forward to reading your good news asap!
Blossom - Hope your 2WW is going well. Thanks for your advice on other threads!
Saffy - Are you there? How are you going?
Loops - Hoping your natural cycles work out for you so you dont have to face IVF again!
Melissa - Not long now! Have you caved and POAS yet? If you havent, you're a stronger woman than me
Happybaby - good luck on your BT tomorrow. It sounds very promising though!
1morePlz - You there? Have you plans to start another cycle?
Jayejaye - How is your 2ww going?
oneday - not sure if you are lurking, but if you are, I hope you are going really well and all of those "lovely" pregnancy symptoms have well and truly set in!
I am sorry if I have forgotten anyone...Hormone brain! Needless to say, I hope everyone is feeling comfortable and relaxed and that everything is working out for you as you want it to...
afm - Day 4 of jabbing at 450 iui of gonal f. Not sure if I am imagining it but I feel a little bit more activity in my ovaries this time around. Of course, I am probably imagining it! I started on Royal Jelly capsules yesterday (couldnt get fresh). I know it is too little too late for this cycle but I figure it wont hurt. I am also contemplating starting CoQ10. I have booked my first ever acupuncture appointment tomorrow night (again, bit late). If it goes well I will make an appointment for pre and post transfer - assuming I get to transfer this time!
I have a scan and BT tomorrow morning to check number of follies and ensure no LH surge. I am really hoping I have a better response this cycle. If not, I will be mightily disappointed....
N2L ~ Thanks heaps hun, I am hoping too that I wont have to do IVF again, doubtful but not impossible!
I take Royal Jelly tablets and I really do think they work well. Our 1st and only BFP I was on these and I def think they help my stress levels. I also like accupuncture. Goodluck with it all - everything helps. Hope you have a good scan tomorrow, FX'd for great juicy follies!
Tantee - for doubling hcg. Especially when you consider that the numbers themselves aren't so crucial; as long as they are doubling properly. FX you have a lovely number tomorrow. Do you have any symptoms as such yet? Seeing I'm at that crappy 2ww stage where absolutely anything gets scrutinised.
N2L - go little ovaries. Definitely sounds promising that you are having twinges so soon. I am guessing you didn't have this last round? Good luck for your BT and scan, hoping there are lots of lovely little follies growing away. Nope, no poas yet, though I did buy a packet today due to mini meltdown this morning. I actually feel a bit calmer now that they are there but I don't wanna know if its bad news.
Williever - awesome news about your little embies, FX you have some great ones to freeze Hope you start feel a bit better soon
Loops, Kass, Jayejaye, Blossom and anyone else that I have missed.
melissa:hope you not going insane waiting. good luck
loops: acu is good for relaxation, i have been going since after first IVF/ ICSI cycle and was so stressed out. is good for you. good luck to you
N2L: as i said to loops acu is so so good and it's never too late. good luck with jabbing, i start in one month.
afm: had FS app on wed and all went well. so looks like i will be starting next cycle in one month time, have to have bloods done and sign all forms also need new docs referral. so busy busy busy.
i'm still here yes... just been ultra busy...am off work sick today...due to a very sore back
just waiting for AF to come....ETA 11th she should arrive...ring clinic see if they can fit us in this cycle...start the pill then go from there.... really sad though that this could 'possibly' be our last cycle.....DH & i have kind of agreed we aren't going to spend forever trying to have another bub we already have DS and i aso have my older 2 from previous marriage....i don't want it to be our LAST cycle....
another thing.....those of you using 'ROYAL JELLY' pllllleeeeaaaassseee tell me none of you are asthmatic....
1MOREPLZ - It must be such a hard decision to make. You are very strong! Hoping this cycle brings you your '1 more'
Melissa - How are you feeling? Have you been able to think of anything else over the weekend?
N2L - Wow! You are all set. I hope those ovaries are getting lots of strong follies ready for you. Great newspaper article btw!
Blossom - Thanks hun. Did wake up feeling human again today. Infact the whole day I felt like me. Only thing left are sore bbs and some drips and drabs (cm). How are you feeling? When will be your test day?
jayejaye - How are you doing?
Hi everyone. I hope you are all having a good day. I hope everyone in the tww is relaxed and enjoying it..............Yeah right!!!
afm - 6 blasties! They have been frozen. My FS appointment is next week......so I am waiting.
Hi girls well its Monday and hanging in there and its only 2 more weeks to go. Had some major cramping last night woke up at about 11.45 buckled over on the loo and felt like i was going to vomit as well... I did no. 2 (tmi sorry) and after about 20 mins it all passed, horrible!! Dont know what that was? Has anyone else ever had anything like it???
It has passed now but i have definately been feeling stuff happen down there probably just the crinone gel giving me cramps... Also been extremely tired and not sleeping the best...
Williever that is a great result bet you cant wait to get started again
Good luck to everyone else and sending lots of
Quick update from my phone. Scan today showed at least four follies. Three on right - 17mm, 15 and 12. Not sure about left one size wise. She had real problems seeing them with the dildo cam so I have to have another scan on Wednesday at a proper u/s place. Bt tomorrow. So not too bad. Better than same time last cycle.
Just on the way home from first acupuncture appointment. It was bizarre. I got a couple of strong shocks like I was being zapped. She said I am too hot and damp and that my liver and kidneys are weak. Also that I
Produce too much mucus. She said no cold or spicy food. No ice cream and no curry!
May as well end it all now! She did say Seaweed is good
For me. Lol. Nori handrolls with no wasabi here I come! To top it off dp just called. Guess what is for dinner? Yep - chicken curry. Ugggggghhhh!
I suppose I should come back here as my 2ww is up today. For those that don't know I had a BFP but some bleeding and cramping. HCG on Friday was 128 and had risen to only 150 by Monday morning.
My FS called me last night and said it didn't look good but he's seen pgs turn around. I have another BT on Thursday.
Does anyone know of slow rising hcg that still when on to a successfull pg?
Sorry no time for perssies. I have been keeping up with this thread. Will post again soon.
n2l - glad this one is going better. I didn't know acupuncture could zap you! I've been meaning to try it out, but that makes me a little nervous
Blossom - hope your cramping is a good sign. My one cycle with a bfp I woke up one night with intense cramping, it's never happened before or since.
williever - glad you're feeling better. 6 blasties is fantastic!
1moreplz - hope you're feeling better today and everything goes really well with your next cycle
jbm - seems like you've been waiting forever! Not long to go now...
melissa - hows the tww going?
Loops - did you find out about the job? fx you got it
oneday - are you still around? How did your scan go? Hope everything is good
Hi to everyone I've missed!
afm - start sniffing on Monday. Synarel - how I have missed you Also going off for an hsg since I've had so many dud results. Hopefully things go better this time around.
Happybaby I just missed you - sorry to hear your levels haven't been going as they should If your fs thinks there is a chance it can turn around, then there's still some hope - everything is crossed for you
Sorry forgot to mention last night that my pharmacy said there is a worldwide shortage of cetrotide and orgalutran. It will be in short supply until end of march!
Get it while you can!
JBM - WOOHOO for starting again next month!! Does it feel like its been a really long time in coming? Hope that your break has done wonders and this will be the cycle for you.
Happybaby - that sucks that your hcg hasn't risen as you'd have hoped. FX your FS in on the money when he says that he has seen pg turn around from there. Good luck for you next BT
Kass - yay for Synarel again!!!! I've never had to use it, we always have used the equivalent to Lucrin. What would you rather - sniff or an extra jab each night? Are the side effects yucky on it? With the buserelin, I just get VERY menopausal and tired, wonder if there is much difference between the two. how long are you gonna have to wait for your hsg?
N2L - so so pleased that you had a more successful scan this time round, chick. Haha, my acupuncturist is a genius at giving those electric shocks but she said to me from day one that shocks are good cos it means the needles are in the right place . What, no ice cream or curry? Life wouldn't be worth living!!!!!!! All I have to avoid is cold things which is no biggie as the only drink I really lilke icy cold is wine which, obviously, is not as issue atm!!! Good luck for Wednesday
Well, I poas on Monday which was 10dp2dt and naturally, bfn. So, I had my ginormous bawling session yesterday and am having a mental health day from work today as I know that if I went, I'd spend the whole day wandering round trying not to cry. I had an AP appointment today and my little Chinese lady was feeling my pulse as how your blood flows can indicate pg or something and as she was doing that, I said about my bfn. She looked really surprised and said that I might have a surprise tomorrow. I know I tested early-ish but really not getting my hopes up for my BT tomorrow. To the extent, I have a nice bottle of wine chilling in the fridge already.
JBM ~ thanks hun. All the best to you, exciting your on the road. Hope you get BFP first go and good luck with the bloods.
Mel ~ I too hope you get a wonderful surprise tomorrow - definitely could have been too early at 10DPO. FX'd for you!!
1MOREPLZ ~ Really hoping this last go works for you guys, No not asthmatic but DH is and allergic to bees so he definitely can't Royal Jelly!
Williever ~ 6 Frosties, that is excellent! Goodluck for next week.
Blossom ~ ouch about your tummy pain, hope all is better now, GL for the cycle and FX for you!
N2L ~ Those follies sound pretty great - all the best for your EPU! Bugger about no curries if you love em.
HB ~ Sorry you're having to go through the limbo, I've been there and it's no fun - I had low HCG and low Progesterone, which didnt end well but when it happened to me I read heaps of stories on BB - where people started off with really low HCG and it improved with great outcome of a child at the end. So dont give up hope. and for you.
Kass ~ thanks for asking about the job and the FX'd. No havent heard yet but I know they are doing more interviews this week so I may not hear until next week. Def crossing my fingers xo. Hoping this time round is a lot better for you and I hope the sniffing is ok - horrid stuff LOL. FX'd for you and GL
Quick follow up to earlier post. Just spoke to nurse from mifv. Due to the drug shortage they have suspended all new treatment cycles! Lucky i got in when I did!
If you are due to start treatment I reckon you should ring your clinic to check!
Back later x

Hoping to see lots more BFP's in here very soon.
and
for you!! Your HCG sounds pretty good to me, all the best hun for the next scan.
On a positive note, I had a job interview Thursday, which went very well. Now just wait and see time, if I get it.
