All done! Driving home. I now have two "perfect" grade 1, 4 cell embies on board :) or, as I am choosing to think of it PUPO!!!! Pregnant until proven otherwise!
welcome to the 2ww N2L i am going nuts this time... trying to relax but not working at all.
Not feeling like this is the time for me no symptoms really except my boobs are tender because i keep bloody feeling them to check if they are tender....
Sending you lots of:stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
hey chickybabes
Blossom- surely if you are getting some bfps you must be preg?? You can't get false positives but you can get false negatives, I REALLY hope yur BT tomorrow gives you a big happy surprise xx
N2L- you need a few more :bluecheer::cheer: for being PUPO!!
happybaby- can't believe you are still in lombo, I hope it works out, sounding good with the rising hcg, heaps of people have been where you are and gone on to have a baby so :pray::pray: for you xx
Kass- great avie, have you started injections yet??
williever-:hug:, its good that the polyp is gone, hopefully this is it then! My ET will be about hte same time as yours so we will do the tww together. Can you claim the proesterone back from private health insurance?? its worth checking, some things you can. Mine are usually included but I am doing double dose progesterone ths time so no doubt they will slug me for it lol.
Loops- Glad they found nothing wrong but its annoying to not have a reason then xxx Hopefully your baby is just around the corner, bummer about the costs, they don't make it easy, hope time flies by and you can afford another round soon xxxx
Hi anyone else, babydust!!
AFM- going in to pay and pick up meds tomorrow, can't wait and then start jabs Friday woohoo!!!

Wow! I had no idea, but was totally surprised by the cost. Will check up on that now! Can't believe the difference in cost!
Saffy - Looking forward to being a little further ahead then now. Happy to have a couple of tww buddies x
n2l - :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
egg pick up is scheduled for the 11th-15th April :D i have also left a message queiring about my dosages...i really think they need to be upped BIG time!!!! so we shall see...as my FS left it the same and last 2 cycle it has been minimal follies/eggs at pick up :(
as for meds (crinone) 2 boxes are included in our cycle cost....
1moreplz - have you heard back about your doses? Seems funny that they wouldn't up them if you've been getting low numbers - hope you get some answers!
JBM and Saffy - thanks! Wish I knew who rak'd me...
Saffy - I'll start jabs sometime next week - looking forward to it :)
ntl - Yay for being pupo! :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
yeah hunni got a reply this morning...FS has doubled my dosage :D start jabbing the 21st :)
Hi all,
A quick one from me.... It looks like my chemical is actually an ectopic so FS will have to operate tomorrow. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the wait tonight, I only slept a couple of hours last night. Every pain & niggle is setting me on edge. Can't wait until this time tomorrow when hopefully this saga will be resolved. :wall: I am so scared but have complete trust in my FS and would rather him do the op than anyone else.
awww Tantee huge hugs hun
tantee - that's awful hun xxx Will be thinking of you tonight and tomorrow. All the best for the op. xxxx
Tantee I'm so sorry that this is happening. Hope everything goes smoothly today.:hug:
sorry to hear that Tantee sending you big hugs i hope all goes well x
Much love to you and your DH at this horrible time Tantee.
Take care x
n2l
Oh Tantee, what a shame, you poor love, sending love xxxx
Blossom- good luck today ( sorry I had my days confused thought yesterday was friday :redface:) :pray: for you
jabs starting today for me x
:grouphug:
thinking of you and your DH today Tantee xxxxxx
Tantee I'm so sorry to hear about your results. big hug and I hope it's all over quickly for you.
I had my scan today to see if I had an ectopic as well. It turns out that there is a embryo in the right place and it has a heart beat! The embryo size and heart beat are normal but the pg sack is about one week behind. So I'm still not out of the woods yet and have to wait and see what happens. I have another scan booked on the 22nd.
This is the furtherest i've come on the ttc journey. i got all teary when the radiographer said there was an embryo with a heartbeat. I know it might not last but there is still hope :pray:
Best of luck to everyone with EPU, jabbing etc.
xxHB
Tantee ~ terribly sorry hun ~ :hug: Must be quite scary - hang in there, things will be over soon and you can get back to trying. Thinking of you both!
WOW HB ~ Congrats. :pray::stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
Hi all - hope everyone is well
Happybaby that is exciting for you big congrats!
AFM wasnt meant to be BFN so back to the drawing board again..
Starting to wonder if this is really ever going to become a reality now. I have so many things going against me that im starting to feel a little defeated???
Going to research my NK cell thing a little more as i think im in the 75th percentile which is quite high and maybe the odds are really not good!
Anyway as i sit here enjoying my glass of vino i have to focus on the positives in my life and try not to let this whole ivf consume every thought and every action and start enjoying life again...
Hope u all doing ok girls x
tantee - Thinking of you hun x
blossom - I think research is always helpful. Go for it! I'm sorry it didn't work for you his time. try not to give up hope. There is always hope:hug:
HB - That sounds great! I got a little teary just reading your post. What a wonderful moment!
Hi everyone. It's a little quiet in here and I have been quiet too. I had a few down days. Still a little down, but hey.
BT and scan today (day 10) showed good lining. The scan nurse asked me if I had a history of endometreosis................If that's another thing I'm really not sure what I will do?! (Polyp has def. gone though :rolleyes:).
I have another BT on Monday to see whether I am ovulating. I feel the pains today though......anyway I guess there's no worries with it. I have to wait till 5 days post O as the embies were frozen at 5 days.....
I have a family thing tomorrow during which I expect to be asked about staring a family, and asked to hold the babies of others........I guess that is adding to this low feeling.
I am so fed-up with nothing happening. My Birthday is this month............another one without my baby! Yet another reason to feel down.
Sorry about my me moment. I know you guys understand every word. Just sending it out there helps, but knowing that you guys understand is amazing. I am so glad to be a member of bb. I am thankful for having ladies to chat with cos all this is hard enough. Doing it alone must be impossible.
have a lovely evening x
williever: we are in this together and i hope your fam thing is not too painfull. yes on BB we do understand each other. good luck to you. x
blossum73: just sending you a hug. hope you are doing well. x
loops: hi to you , hope you are being good . chat soon
happy baby: fingers crossed for you. please please keep growing baby. good luck at your scan. x
1moreplz: hope all is going well with you . good luck . x
saffy: good luck jabbing, pray for some good eggies for you. x
i am sure i forgot someone, i always seem to, so sorry if it was you . x
afm: pick up needles on tue then sto pill on sat, when af comes start jabbing and we are on our way to our IVF/ ICSI number two full cycle. i've got my fingers crossed for this one. but scary but good somethings happening.
chat soon
afm:
Hi Lovely Ladies
Blossom and Williever ~ (((GBH))) :hug: I know how hard it is - but never give up hope ladies! Keep trying - you still have time
JBM ~ hi hun, thanks for asking. Very excited for you - wishing you all the best - goodluck with the jabbing! :crossfingers:
Hi to all and hope everyone is well and perhaps enjoying the long weekend. I'm at work but the sun is shining and have had visitors at home so Im pretty happy.
AFM ~ Think I am O'ing now. Will try and get some tricky B'Ding in! Also going to look into adoption a lot further very soon as its been about 4 months since our last treatment. Geez I wish we had money to do another.
Hi to all you lovelies,
Thank you so much for all your kind words of support, they definately helped make me feel better over the last few days.
I had a laparoscopy and curette on Friday. I was pretty out of it when FS came to see me afterwards so not quite sure of exactly what was done but recall him saying it wasn't ectopic after all. He later called DH who wrote some of it down, but not all. Apparantely the pain may have been from blood in the tube and he drained a couple of cysts. I suppose I will have to wait for the follow up appt in a week or so to find out exactly what went on. Am feeling OK today and recovering, except a weird thing, under my tongue is bruised and has major blood blisters - must be from the anaethesist, so gross.
Happybaby - I am so glad that your little bean is in the right spot. Fingers crossed for you that he/she is just a late bloomer and will continue to thrive and grow
Loops - Hope all is well, good luck catching your 'o this month
Blossum - I am so sorry. It is so hard not to get bogged down in this whole process. I am going to have to take a few months off as well and FS will be doing some further testing and investigation. My plan is to try and organise outings, visits etc and stick to them over the next couple of months to get my mind off things. I am not working at the moment either so find having so much time on my hands is compounding the issue. I hope you find the information you need to get you closer to your bfp. A big wine glass 'cheers' to you as I'm sure I will crack a bottle open with DH in the next couple of days too. Here's to taking some time out to enjoy the everyday, take good care of yourself
Williever - I hope you are feeling a little better today and that your family do yesterday wasn't too painful. Although people don't realise that a lot of what they say can be upsetting, it is never the less still hard to cope with. Good Luck for your BT today. BTW - I pay $84 per 15 pessaries but have not really shopped around.
JBM - not long now.....
1MorePlz, Saffy, N2L & Kass and all you ladies who sent your well wishes.... Thank you. To have the support and understanding of you BB ladies is invaluable, ESPECIALLY on the really crappy days. ;)
Tantee - Really glad to hear you are up and feeling (physically) better. I am also glad you are making plans to enjoy yourself over the coming few months. I think half of the battle in this caper is having a clear head to deal with all of the ups and downs you have to go through, not to mention the hormone s*it-storm you have to cope with. I really hope your time out is a chance to refresh and invigorate. And, when you're ready, you come back Rocky-style, ready to take on this infertility nightmare with a huge knock out blow! Take care sweetie xx
n2l
Thanks N2L. I hope your little embies are snuggling in nicely. How long till BT?
I am assuming you don't want to know in minutes??? (cause I could almost tell you!!) March 23rd....nine agonisingly slow days away!!!!
Tantee ~ thanks hun. Glad you are feeling ok, must be a relief that it wasn't ectopic at least. Very nicely put by n2l!! Least you know it can happen and I hope everything clears up nice and quick and you can get back on the horse very soon! :comfort:
n2l ~ :crossfingers: TIGHT FOR YOU. Hope the wait doesn't make you too insane.
AFM ~ I forgot to mention the other day - my DH is so sweet. I was a bit upset about the whole TTC thing the other night and then stayed in Melb for the following night for work. When I got home the following evening, he had candles lit (the house was smelling beautiful), had tea cooked and flowers :inlove: I'm one very lucky woman :)
N2L - I had to laugh at your answer, but to the minute is fine :thumbsup: ... all of us in here know just how agonising every minute of waiting is... I so hope that some nice distractions arise to help pass the time.
Loops - aaw, how sweet. They do surprise you sometimes! So glad that you guys are at a good place at the moment and are able to help each other through it all. This rollercoaster tends to take its toll at times on our relationships and its hard to see things clearly, but it is good to know that you can get back to your happy place with each other in spite of it all...
Tantee - glad to hear it wasn't ectopic and you're feeling ok. I hope you get to enjoy the next couple of months so you can come back feeling on top of it all
Loops - How nice! Sigh... :)
N2L - Sounds like the tww is dragging! Are you going to test early or hold out for the bt?
JBM - good luck with the jabbing!
Williever - hope your family do was ok. Have you found out when your transfer will be?
Blossom - sorry to hear about your -ve :hug:
Happybaby - :pink-babydust::stickyvibesboy: Hope you're going well!
Saffy - hope the jabs are going well :)
afm - just waiting for af so I can start jabbing. Hopefully not long to go!
Hi girls,
kass- good you are nearly jabbing, it takes forever to start again doesn't it? Hope AF comes quickly xx
tantee- what an ordeal, you poor thing :hug:. Taking a few months off is a good idea, have some nice outings arranged to take your mind off things xx
loops- you are definately a lucky woman, what a great dh!! xx
N2L- 23rd march seems a long way off- eeek! How are you going to cope, are you going to poas before?? FX for you xxxx
JBM- glad somethings happening for you, crazy how we look forward to jabs isn't it?? xx
Williever- i feel the same, I would never have coped with ivf without everyone in here, it is a godsend and I feel sorry for people who have no one to talk to xx
Blossom-big :hug: for you, sending some positive vibes, its hard not to give up hope, are you feeling any better ?xxx
happybaby-that is such good news, it gives us all hope- I am so thrilled for you. Now baby just STICK :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: xxx
1mplz- how are you going hun? xx
afm- jabbing away merrily, start antagonist tomorrow, its cetrotide this time instead of whatever I had last time. Luckily I am a nurse and can draw up the injection with no problems, or else I would be stressed about it! Scan on friday, don't feel anything yet, but I can't remember when I started feeling my ovaries blowing up last time, oh well, hope for the best!
all going good here thanks for asking everyone :D
picing up meds on the 21st eeeekkk!!!!! :D
started back at the gym yesturday and been on lite n easy nearly 1 week, also starting royal jelly tomorrow
saffy: wow theres a lot of jabbing going on in here atm. good luck with this cycle. good luck with scan on fri. fingers crossed for you. :-)
kass:we won't be far apart with jabbing. woohoo. lets get jabbing . good luck to you.
tantee: just sending you a hug. good luck. x
hi to everyone i forgot : i am sure i always miss someone ?
lol
afm: well things are going to be a little later due to the fact i have to be in melb for work right when i need to do a scan . bummer.
so i will be going off pill on about 2nd april then as soon as AF comes start jabbing.
so it is a little later than i hoped but 2 weeks won't really make a huge difference
not long to go now ..... here comes my 2011 baby......pleeeeeeeaaaaasssee
loops: wow DH sounds like he was being real nice, see they can sometimes do it. lol. good luck to you.
N2L: not long to go now. TWW crazyness will be over soon. :-)
Hi ladies
I have another BT on Thursday......Hopefully that will be it then I will be given a date for FET? I am eating everything near me so O is on it's way for sure!
Hope all is well. Sorry for this quick message...I am just exhausted!
Hi Lovelies
Well after DH being so wonderful the other day, things have turned to the **** a bit and I'm not in a good place at all. Well not blaming DH or anything of course but probably taking a lot of my stress out on him :(
We are flat broke and having terrible troubles with the Insurance company for his accident, I dont know what my body is doing at the moment, dont appear to have O'd properly yet, have had very light test lines all the time, not the same colour as the control line. * TMI warning. DH and I have now tried B'Ding twice and have given up because we just havent got anywhere - not in the mood. Probably partly to do with his brace which makes life awkward and part to do with the fact that its always about TTC, not just for the enjoyment of it. It's really been upsetting me. It's a horrible thing to say but there is no spark there - I dont feel attracted to DH and I'm starting to feel really bad and depressed. Not sure what to do - perhaps see someone. Sorry everyone for off-loading all of this.
All the best ladies with all of the jabbing and waiting etc, FX'd for you all!
:hug: Loops, sorry its all rubbish at the moment xxxxx
If it makes you feel any better I go through periods of not wanting to dtd with Dh ( feeling is probably mutual too lol), we rarely BD now cos of lttc, its a real passion killer. Its not fair is it :comfort:
Oh Loops so sorry you feel so terrible and my heart breaks for you. My advice is to see someone - maybe your GP. Although they may not have been through what you guys are they will offer some help perhaps in the form of medication. I know it may be hard to accept that you have depression but your body and mind are asking for help. I was in the same spot and when the doc said I was depressed I disagreed, even though we were about 4 or 5 years into our journey. But I went home and did some research and realised I had all the signs. I went back and said give me something that will make me feel normal again. The best thing she told me was that we all take medication if we have blood pressure issues, aches pains, disease etc so mental health is the same. I was on and off them for periods over a few of years and cant tell you how much it helped. Infertility affects your mind as much, if not more than your body.
Hang in there
Trea
:hug: Loops - I wish I had some advice for you, but please feel free to vent. I can only imagine how stressed you must be feeling :hug:
Williever - hopefully Thursday will be the last one :crossfingers:
JBM - I can't believe you've been set back again - you're a much more patient woman than me! Sending you some 'no more interruptions' vibes!
1moreplz - Good work! How did you go royal jelly? I've heard it's a bit unpleasant
Saffy - looks like we'll be doing pick up at about the same time :) I'm starting shots tomorrow
Loops - You are not alone. This is our 5th year on our journey and we are trying to get back to recreational bding....DH is clearly more in the need for it. I struggle to get in the mood. I think he gets frustrated with that.
I agree with trea. the mental toll is immense and many things you don't even notice happening. For me, my libido has taken a massive nose dive! I'm quieter then my normal outgoing self, I get angry far more quickly, I don't laugh veryt much....I'm noticing all this in myself. I do think about how to get out of it, but I think that might be what a counsellor can help with. It's too hard to do yourself!
As I am writing this I am sure I should also see someone!
BT tomorrow. Still no ewcm :rolleyes:
