Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!!

Still worried its gunna being me crappy news. But so far she's stating away. Found some more brown stuff this morning. But nothing else since. So still waiting.

**Janie71** · February 14th, 2012, 10:21 AM

Myturn, crinone can irritate your cervix which could be where the brown blood is coming from. Got everything crossed for you.

**Mia01** · February 14th, 2012, 12:35 PM

Missren

Sooo happy for you, keep the luck going!!
Will ask you some q's if u dnt mind like i usually ask our bfp's: how many times hav u tried ivf? How many embies n at wat day did u get ur transfer? Did u hav any signs during ur tww? WAt day after et did u test? Sorry am just curious and hav all my ec n et to look forward too yet.

Afm- had my bt today, no news yet. Not sure wat it was for, as i hav anthr one plus u/s on friday?! Anyways hoping smethn is happening in me! Lol HAPPY VALENTINES ALL!
sorry re spelling am on d iphone

**vic261** · February 14th, 2012, 12:57 PM

myturn - My fingers and toes are crossed thats its just old stuff hanging around. Your in my thoughts hunni

Amy & Keta - Good luck for tomorrow. We will all be here if you need us.

Kerbear - Not long to go now. How are you feeling? Bloated??? I feel huge!

AFM - Quick update. I trigger tonight. Yippee!! Lets get this show on the road. I fly out tomorrow night and my EPU is 8.30am Thursday morning. My transfer will be on Saturday at 9.30am (god willing). Am in 2 minds about such a quick transfer, will only be 2 days, but DH will be in Adelaide with me and this will be the first transfer he will attend. Looks like on Monday he is going away for work for 8-9 weeks, coming home on weekends only. So its good that he will be with me, but it would have been nice to try for a blasti. Hopefully this one sticks and the run of BFP's in here at the moment is very inspiring.

So to everyone with their BT's and EPU's this week your all in my heart. I dont know if I will be able to get online much until Saturday night, but will be thinking of you all. If someone wants to take over the list for a few days I would be most grateful. myturn, it could give you something to do apart from stalking the threads

I will try and pop on tomorrow afternoon, but flat out, so good luck to you all. I expect more BFP's when I next log on xxxxxxxxxxx

**PlanetSasha** · February 14th, 2012, 01:42 PM

Hi Ladies!

It's so exciting to see the BFP's that are happening in here

Missren - Congratulations again!

Amy & Keta - Good luck with your blood tests tomorrow!

myturn - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Kerbear - I hope you are doing ok

Vic261 - Good luck with your EPU & ET, I hope all goes well for you!

Hi to everyone else!

AFM - I am still sniffing away on Synarel, as horrible as it is, I think I am starting to get used to it now! I have a blood test & a nurses appointment on Thursday to organise the NK cell treatment.

Happy Valentines Day

Missren

Sooo happy for you, keep the luck going!!

sorry re spelling am on d iphone

Firstly wow! Thanks girls u have made me feel so spesh & I truly hope my news is the continuation of a lucky February month for u all & gives everyone hope it CAN happen!

Mia no worries at all re q's - anything at all I can do anytime. Ok so let's see what I can help with:
I have been ttc for 3 years, 5 months of that on chlomid, 12 months ago had laprosectomy/golf balling/ endo clean out.
This is my 1st ivf cycle (antagonist)
I had 10 eggs collected, all from left side- right side doesn't seem to work. Only 4 of those eggs useable & fertilized, 1 dropped off so had 3 embies. Was gunna transfer 2 but when I got to et the diff doctor didn't really give me a choice so went with 1 x 4 cell embie. I hated that the worst & jumped when it when in :-) I was sure he missed!! Stupid bloody sheet with slit ! I still don't know why they bother

After et I stayed pretty much on my butt and kept my uterus really warm & did nothing, prob overkill. But hey whatever works. I felt nothing unusual , only symptoms were bigger boobs, bloated tummy, last week of tww I was quite tiered & just wanted to rest after work. Bout 5 days after transfer I got bad hay fever/sinus/head cold type thing which I still have. I got a wipe of small blood on the morn of my blood test so I was adamant it hadn't worked. I thought all my symptoms were just based on the crinone stuff and had seriously noooooo idea. I thought I would just know, but I didn't.

After et I did nothing for 3 days - not for the tww. Just tried to keep mentally busy. Easier said than done. I didn't get any other spotting & on the day of blood test I was sure my period was coming. Twinges in pelvis & still have that now.

I really hope that helps a little ;-) anything else just ask I know how bloody frustrating this conception thing is xxx

**RhiChiChi** · February 15th, 2012, 05:44 AM

mia - GL

Vic - Yay! Best of luck with EPU & T'fer!

kerbear - FX EPU is all good for Friday!

Meg - Best of luck for Monday.

myturn - All I can do is pray for you chick & hope that af stays away and you have some wonderful BFP news.

Jane - Suck when your cycle gets cancelled - mine was in November and we wern't allowed to do back to back then Xmas was in there & the clinic closed for part of Jan, so we missed like nearly three months!

AFM - Started crinone last night.... do you have to wear a pad during the day??

**myturn** · February 15th, 2012, 06:24 AM

Thanks rhi. But unfortunately I'm out this month

Lovely AF has arrived in full force (ie she is dripping out of me!! I know TMI!!) sorry!

Ps. I've found I don't need a pad in the morning.

**Mrs Mac** · March 5th, 2012, 05:49 PM

Vic- oh no, that no good at all. I wish i had some words of wisdom for you but all i can say is I really hope next cycle is your BFP.

Jane- It feels wrong to say it, but I hope AF arrive for you tomorrow. I know how good it feels to be doing something again.

N2L- I hate the not knowing when AF will arrive so i hope the spotting was a good sign AF is on its way. I'm flying blind this month, prior to starting treatment my cycles were 34-38 days but because of treatment i have had a 27 day cycle and a 22 day cycle so now that I'm not on any meds this month i have no idea when to ecpect AF and it really sucks.

Andie- Hows the TWW going? how long until your test date?

Keta- So good to hear your doing well. Don't give up on your DH changing his mind. To be honest when I first went to my FS I was adamant that I was not doing IVF and even told him so, but the more I read about it and the more I understood what the process was the better i started feeling about it all. With a little push for my DH I have finally made the decision to go ahead with it and finally excited about starting something new. In the meantime i'll be hopping you get a surprise BFP.

Hi Mia, Joeve, PlanetSasha and everyone else I missed. Hope you are all doing well.

AFM- I've got nothing. FS appointment on the 19th so just hanging out and not so calmly waiting.

**myturn** · March 5th, 2012, 07:28 PM

hi yall..... feels like I am so totally out of the loop where everyone is at - I feel like I have been MIA - but this is the first time in about two weeks that I have managed to get the computer open for NON-work related task - my new - after hours - job is scary and SOO much more work than I expected!
Oh well...

anyway.... I apologise for the all about me post, but I do try and pop on my phone and answer questions as I see them, so I'm sorry for no detailed personals - like I know I have a habit of!

I had my 4th BT this morning and - yay! I'm surging! So ET is on Thursday - they will call me on wednesday with a time

this is the one

gunna get my jiggy on tonight and wednesday - so if the little blob doesn't stick we have given ourselves the chance to do it naturally as well... .shhhhh.... i know.... twins right!

Mia - I get AF at around the same day as I normally would... I just figured my EPU and ET were at about the same time that I naturally would have popped anyway..... so both times I haven't even got to BT. I checked with the nurse cause I thought the Crinone was supposed to stop AF - but no... she said it didn't stop AF from arriving....
FX for you!!

Mrs Mac - breathe!! you'll get there!! I had a list of questions for my 1st appointment after unsuccessful IVF and barely asked any of them anyway! My first appointment, I didn't have anything! You are way more prepared than I!
I think next time I go back - I will ask the question "why" (ha ha... I know he won't be able to answer properly... but) I want to follow up with the question - can we/should we do any more testing to check if there is anything else I can do.....

N2L - you are so smart..... you always seem to have the answer...!

Joeve - good luck with FS - you sound perky and upbeat about it.... that's good... I was depressed and miserable with all of mine...!

extra big

vic - nothing else can be said - it all sucks... have to be reasonable about it... but at the same time just want it to happen now!!!

oh... there's too much for me to look back on, and i've been on the comptuer for hours... I swear I will catch up properly soon.... maybe.... in a couple of weeks at least when thigns die down!!!

**PlanetSasha** · March 5th, 2012, 07:40 PM

Hi everyone!

Vic - so sorry to hear about the bfn! I was so sure it was your turn, fingerscrossed for this time!

Mia - how are you going? I'll be joining you tomorrow in the 2ww!

Jane - welcome back I hope it's only a short stay!

Myturn - I will have my fingers crossed for you!!!!

Andie - how are you going? Thanks for the tip on the clexane, I have managed to stay reasonably bruise free! I had to take it in the car on Sat night, I won't do that again I had my first bruise.

Hi N2L, Keta, Kashby, Joeve, Mrs Mac & anyone I have missed!

AFM - I have ET tomorrow morning

& the removalists arrive on Wednesday! so busy!!! I'm hoping at least by being busy the time will fly by quicker

I hope you all had a great weekend!

**Pholi** · March 5th, 2012, 07:54 PM

Just popping in with

for Vic. So sorry, hun.

**myturn** · March 5th, 2012, 07:56 PM

oops.... Joeve.... I'm on my computer... and managed to read the words - and ignore the smileys!! sorry!!

tbh I find it weird when people seem excited for me... I mean... seriously!! I had the nurse where I go for Laser Hair removal (yes... another side effect of the PCOS) almost jump up and down excited for me cause I had alrady had two stim cycles of IVF..... all I could do was smile politely.... I really like her.... but obviously she has NO IDEA!!!

Even after I had all the appointments and was ready to do with the IVF, I cried the day AF came... and for 3 days after!!!! Starting the cycle doesn't bother me now... in fact, it's exciting now! But then.... well.... then I was lamenting the fact that I HAD to do IVF... the option of natural birth was done...

now I just cry every time there's a BFN....
so.... this week is a good week! lol.... no tears!.... so far!
