LT TTC & Assisted Conception Feb-Mar 2011

Tantee - :dance: 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

:hello: Loops, Kass, Jayejaye, Blossom and anyone else that I have missed.

Me - waiting, waiting, waiting

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.

chat soon

hi hi

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':goodluck:

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!!! :bluedust::pink-babydust:

afm - 6 blasties! They have been frozen. My FS appointment is next week......so I am waiting. :rolleyes:

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 :dance:
Good luck to everyone else and sending lots of :bluedust::stickyvibesgirl:

Hello lovelies


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!


Take care all x

Hello ladies

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.

xx HB

Hi everyone

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. :crossfingers:

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 :bluedust::pink-babydust:

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 :rolleyes: 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 :hug: If your fs thinks there is a chance it can turn around, then there's still some hope - everything is crossed for you :hug:

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 :o. 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.

Good luck tomorrow MelissaI hope you get a nice surprise x :crossfingers:

Good afternoon lovely ladies

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, :crossfingers: 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 - :hug: 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. :pray: and :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: 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

with the drug shortages....we use lucrin and our clinic has it on hand in BULK :) aswell as the gonal F and crinone...they are all supplied by our clinic :)

Hi everyone :)

Melissa - good luck with the bt today :crossfingers::goodluck: Hope you can leave that wine to chill for the rest of the year! Synarel is just unpleasant - leaves a nasty taste that lasts all day then you take it again at night so it never goes away! It makes me sneeze, but then since I don't want to blow my nose straight away I end up sniffing (which is gross I know) and end up with sinus headaches by the end. Honestly, I think I'd rather do an extra jab!

I have to wait a couple of weeks for the hsg - can't do it now 'in case of pregnancy' - not likely!!! So I'll be doing it a few days before collection. Has anyone else done one at this time? My fs thinks it will be ok, but I don't know enough about the dyes they use - I don't want to risk messing anything up

hi everyone..didnt even know there was a new thread...im so behind.

Just letting you all know im still here.. im still waiting for AF so i can start my down reg cycle...i'm on day 37...my FS saw me ovulate so i know im like 20 dpo!!!

I havent had a cycle like this for a year!! the last 4 or 5 have been 28-32 days and normal!!! its always like this when you WANT AF to come..

anyway, im also hopin posting this will jinx it and make it come =P

hopeeveryone is ok where you all are at. sending lots of hugs and baby vibes!! and ill come back later and do some personals and catch up!

Teirae - holy crap chick, if you are 20dpo, pee on a stick girl, pee on a stick!!!!!! Any chance some lovely little miracle may have happened?

Hi girls,
I am still here reading, starting my stim cycle next week!

I agree about the syneral, I prefer doing an extra jab instead, it tastes disgusting.

Teiare- I'm with melissa have you poas? AF NEVER comes when you want, she is very annoying like that, I hope you are secretely UTD!

Happybaby-:hug: its the worst feeling not knowing, I hope it works out for you xxxxx

Hi everyone else, Melissa heard anything yet?? FX

well, jabs start next thursday, I am getting an ultrasound on friday to check whether I have an ovarian cyst as I have been getting some pain, has anyone had one and does it mean you have to cancel your cycle??, I am dreading having this cycle cancelled!! I would be devastated, I want to get off this emotional rollercoaster please!!!

:bluedust: to everyone xx

Teirae - holy crap chick, if you are 20dpo, pee on a stick girl, pee on a stick!!!!!! Any chance some lovely little miracle may have happened?

I have thought about that...but only think about it while im peeing...so its too late!! I guess i never actually think about it because i've accepted that cant happen. I tell you, it would make alot of things so much easier if that was the case..(money wise)

teirae: please be a bfp !. but i was once day 35 and not preg, so AF can sometimes be nasty to us. good luck. x
saffy: good luck with jabbing and hope scan goes well.
melissai: good luck whatever you are up to .
kass: fingers crossed for you. you never know. not long til you move to next step. x
1moreplz: hope you are going well.

to who ever i missed: i am sorry

afm: i may be waiting a little longer for next cycle as dh broke his foot and needs some radiattion thing so i have to wait one month now, bummer. but still not long considering i have waited 2 years since last FET.

Yea..ive been 41 and not before so it is possible its just me.... Im scared to poas....

Sent via my vortex manipulator

good luck teirae

my posting worked =) Im now offically day 1 of my downreg cycle!
and it all works out nicely, day 28 is our wedding anniversery =) i fell comfortable and happy that nature is still running the show and reassuring me by lining up dates. one of the things that i didnt like about ivf was us deciding when to do stuff rather than just nature.
things are going well atm.
sorry, once again a just me thread, im back on night duty and havent had a chance to catch up on everyone. but im thinking of you all!!!

Hi everyone,
just had some time out as just sitting around waiting was getting on my nerves and I didn't want to be a moany minnie!!!

I am catching up with everyone, but there seems to be loads going on.

Melissa - I hope your BT had the result you wanted xxxxxx and more xxxxx

Sorry not more persies x

afm - FS confirmed today that I can go for natural FET this cycle :leap: AF arrived in stealth mode today (if that's what normal AF is like - I hate it much less..................NO PAIN!!!!).
BT and scan in 10 days and one little blasty gets to jump on board!!!!!!! I am so excited and freaked out that I don't really know how to feel.

Woo hoo willi! Great news. I have my pick up on Monday and, all fingers crossed, transfer on Wednesday. We may share some of the 2ww. Do you know the date of your transfer?

No FET date yet. I'm guessing the 14th/15th...... I guess I'll know more after the BT and scan? Looks like we will share some of the tww.................another wait! We could all win Olympic Gold at Waiting!

I think I am more likely to win Olympic gold than get pregnant sometimes!
Yay for having a 2 ww buddy. My transfer is 9th march fx!

Hope all goes well n2l! See you there xxxx FX our little frosties are ready for us xxx

I'm doing another stim cycle. So far five follies (scan yesterday). Hoping for at least a couple of good eggs out of that. Don't think I am ever going to be a good layer (egg-wise lol)

Are you using this cycles eggs or the frozen one?

I think it depends how we go but if these are goodies we will go fresh I think - rather than risking the thaw.

I didn't think that one through......I hope those 5 follies grow well over the weekend. FX x

Actually i would probably have to wait another month to fet if nothing turns up from this cycle...

i'm having a down in the dumps day :( i wanna be going through ivf now :( but more than anything i wanna be preggers :(

*big giant gooey hugs complete with my boiling hot hot water bottle* =)

Thats great news williever and N2L i will hopefully see you both in the 2ww.
I have my BT next friday and am already over it... I actually poas today way too early and wasnt too sure if i could see a really faint line obviously was really really faint, could be seeing things too!!!
I hate this 2ww as it goes on your mind really starts to run wild.
Big hugs to u imorereplyz x

Sucky old BFN for me. We've rebooked for June/July which feels forever away. 1moreplz, I feel your pain. My clinic is going to have a meeting about me next week so am very curious as to what they may say seeing as I have had two cycle in absolute complete contrast to each other.

:hug: Melissa. Sorry this wasn't the one.

Blossom - a faint line is still a line :) hope it's lots darker in a few days

Ntl - good luck for monday - hope you get lots of good eggs :)

Williever - not long now!

Saffy - hope your us showed no cysts

Jbm - sorry to hear you've been delayed. Hope your dh is ok

Hi 1moreplz and teirae :hello: nothing new for me, just hanging out to start sniffing

Sorry to hear this wasn't the cycle for you Melissa. I hope you can get back into it soon and it produces a real sticky egg for you. Hugs :grouphug:
