[Strawberry55]

Hi ladies,

I am not sure if I am in the right thread, but Dh and I have been ttc for 14 cycles and are currently having tests done with our FS to try and find a cause for this.

Looking forward to getting to know you all

[Saffy]

Hi Strawberry- yes it appears you are in the right place! Welcome, we can answer any questions you have about further tests or procedures, best of luck with the FS.

I just called the embryologist- 3 out of my 4 were fertilised , so I am happy with this ( was gearing myself up to be happy with 2 fertilising), transfer at 1.15 tomorrow, nervous! Have to go my myself as DH has already had days off this week and cant push his luck any further at work!

Kimbe- great egg numbers hun, I hope you are well rested and feeling better, funny how we both bled yesterday. Good luck with fert results, I might beat you to the tww lol!

[myturn]

Oh I need to complain and I can't while at work!!!!
Im feeling dizzy its weird and just little occasionally but I think it must be the crinone ?!?

Yay to saffy.!!! . That's good odds at least!!! ...auto text thinks you are saggy!!!

Sorry I'm on phone and I can't recall other posts....

Saffy, great news about your embies. Good luck for tomorrow hun. I have gone in both times by myself. Flown over by myself too. My DH cant take time off work either.

Kimbe - Hope your feeling better today. It would have been a bit traumatic for you . Let us know how your eggies are going

myturn - are you ok? Thought I would do this post up just for you, so you have something to read on here Dont go fainting at work!

Hi strawberry55 - Welcome to our little bubble. Let me know if you want to be added to the list, so we can cheer you on when you have something coming up. 14 months is a long time hun. Hope your stay is short but sweet

AFM - Nothing much going on. Just jabbing away...

[kimbe]

Saffy, great news - 3/4 is fantastic V.funny, you'll be in the TWW before me, well, yep you will, but i think given our embi's are same age i still find out if BFP at the same time Nice to be in the same journey with you

myturn - let people know about the dizziness and drink heaps fo water, it will help!

Kerbear - so nice to know folli's are growing nicely, EPU will be here before you know it

Kashby - CD2 - i forgot, you a long or short cycle??

Vic thx.

AFM - fainted in bathroom last night and have a major shiner on right eye, gotta love it when bathroom tiles and the skull/eye socket come together with full force. Guess it takes the mind of the abdominal cramping lol. Poor DH freaked, with good reason as i took a while to come too supposedly. GP this morning was great and has me on bed rest till end of week - not bad really, have DH at home spoiling me like mad. Rang work and the admin staff were slightly disgruntled about my longer than expected absence, not that i care. On the more positive, got the SMS through when at the GP's and we've achieved 4/10 fertilised and yep, waiting till Sunday for ET. FX they make it to blasti's so ET actually happens.

[vic261]

Gosh Kimbe, that sounds quite scary. I am glad to hear that DH is looking after you. Dont worry about people at work. Poo Poo to them. You have much more important things to worry about. Rest up and take care of yourself and we will all be that all 4 of your embies make it.

[Kashby]

OOOOUCH! Kimbe - you poor thing! All of what you have to go through and then a fall? UGH! Great DH looking after you and yep, work......go jump! But great re the fertilisation....very cool.......go embie go! I am soooooo doing a reeeeeeeeallllllly loooooong loooooong cycle - finished OC, AF arrived so I guess, back to cd2, maybe able to make some progress. Everyone else has gotten so far in the time I have just been trudging along reading away with not so much to add myself......but oh so happy for everyone's little (and not so little) wins

Saffy - yay! 3 fertilised......grow lil embie grow!

Welcome Strawberry

Myturn - hope the dizziness dizz-appears (hehehe) Liked your little summary of the d1 d2 etc

Vic - ty for update, hope all supa cool

Happy evening everyone K

[Amy_jellybean]

Saffy - yay for your little embies!!! Great news love, good luck for transfer!!!

Kimbe - omg hope you are ok love!!!! How scary!!!

Hi to everyone else I'm on my phone so can't write much been busy at work today and then have a work awards night tonight. I'm spewing because DH fly's out tomorrow to go back to work and we don't get to spend our last night together

Xxx

[RhiChiChi]

Hi all,

Strawberry - welcome! Wishing you all the best on your AC journey. Don't forget to ask us & your FS plenty of questions & take a pen & paper to jot it all down

Saffy - Great news about your egg fertilisation and best of luck with your transfer tomorrow!

myturn - Uggh that is no good about being dizzy. I have no idea if it is a side effect as my last cycle (which was my first cycle) got cancelled.

Kimbe - Far out you feinted?! I hope that you are truly ok. Yay for four being fertilsed, good luck for Sunday.

I hope everyone else is doing ok.

EPU will be Saturday for me, I have about 7 good size follies, so hopefully they can collect a few eggs and get them fertilised. This is the furtherest I've gotten in a cycle so quietly crapping myself for a good result....

[Mia01]

All

Vic I'm now CD3


AFM - Starting the puregon today, eeek! Have to remember the 2 secs refresh the nurse gave me for the pen but I'm hoping it will all come back to me. Will be jabbing at 8pm and then synorel at 8.10 already had my metphormin. Anything else?! LOL Ahhh well atleast I feel like I'm doing something else. Next week on V day my first blood test! Not sure what theyre looking for at that one but then have another plus a u/s on the 17th.

Saffy all the BEST of luck for tomorrow, its a shame ur dh cant go along but i totally undetstand cos i know my dh will have the same issue, know that we all will b thinkin about u tomorrow i will b keen to know how u go! All the very best wishes!!

[myturn]

Mia - you'll be fine - done it by now anyway see not so bad

Rhi - seven is still something my first cycle was 8 - 5 eggs and all fertilized ok it was a bfn - but the stats were okay (in my case it was the quality that was average) FX you get something good in there xx

Kashby - it feels so long on down reg!!! Now that I'm at this end it's great - but it felt like I was just hanging out for so long before I started stabbing!!!!

Amy - bugger for DH having to ho tomorrow. Will he be gone long?? Glad the list helps - I thought it was a useful thing to obsess over....

Kimbe!!!! Wow! Glad you're okay! And yay you DH actually looking after you! Mine is in a grump tonight and I'm not sure if it's because I've done something or if he is tired?? Will just have to wait til he is approachable to find out I guess thanks for the water tip - I read it at work and immediately had a drink .... Then promptly ran out

Bic - awe shucks a post for me --- love it!!! And I did appreciate it!!! xxxx

Saffy - hope all is going well! FX for a good outcome!!!

Afm..., definitely noticing twinges of dizzy and sore ( . ) ( . ) and emotional - worse than last time - but it was a bigger haul this time - plus I'm feeling good about it AND know what to look for more. But still just waiting.

Sorry if I've missed anyone and made weird typos - I'm on safari on my phone!!!..

[kerbear]

Ok so here is my attempt at catching up on persies, there is so many of us in here I hope I don’t miss anyone.

Planetsash – how is the synarel going?

Mia – sounds like you have a concoctions going on there lol

Missren – hope you are coping with you TWW, I agree with you about when the injections are being done and all the appointments it goes quick and then it is like you hit a big wall of nothing!!!! Are you still feeling very tired? Hope it is a good sign

Amy-Jellybean – I so hope you are starting to feel better and if not its because that little embie is burrowing in nice and deep and it is making you feel yuk, in a good way of course. It sucks youi don’t get to spend tonight with DH before he flies out again, you must miss him. I hate night shifts but at least I know my DH is home in the morning. I feel for you babe.

Vic – how are you feeling, hope the meds aren’t messing with your body to much, its so nice to hear you have a good boss as well. It is so hard because if you haven’t gone through this you really have no idea. I thought I had some idea what I was going to be up for after doing some IUI’s but how wrong I was. IVF takes it to a whole other level again.

Meg – I am crossing my fingers the docs are starting to find out whats going on with you so you can have some success.

MissB – I love seeing you pop in here, we miss having you around but it is good you get to move on….you know what I mean, so hope we can all join you soon

Lilemisshavachat – I have to just say that I had only just logged onto bellybelly on my computer and had to laugh at you congratulations post, I have not seen all the dancing faces yet….they are so adorable. Makes me want to keep going no matter how hard it is so I can hopefully get those dancing faces one day.

Kashby – How are you feeling after your fall last night, I read that and was horrified for you, Glad to see DH is looking after you, did anything in particular cause it? I say the same as everyone else work can just deal with it as it is completely out of your control. So glad you got some good embies fertilized, crossing my fingers for you that they get to transfer.

Strawberry55 – I hope your fs can do some investigating and hopefully find you some answers soon, we spent over 1.5yrs being told we were unexplained only to change fs and have one blood test done that gave us the answers, it was me and I am running out of eggs Aweful to hear but also good not to be unexplained anymore.

Saffy – YAY for your fertilization, good luck with your transfer tomorrow, what stage are the embies at? everyone in here seems to be having day 2/3 transfers, my clinic says it will be day 5 unless they think they need to go in at day 3, I don't want to lose any when we finally get some so I am worrying if they try and push it out to 5 we might lose some or all. So sad for you that DH can’t be there, it is such an important moment and it isn’t fair that work gets in the way of that for you. Will be thinking of you and sending to you.


Myturn – are you feeling less dizzy babe, been worried about you today.

Janie71 – You are getting close to the end of you tww now, hgetting excited for you and all the other girls in tww, hope you are coping well.

RhiChiChi – excellent news, my fingers are crossed for lost of eggs at EPU on Saturday, I like you will be crapping myself next week before my EPU as I haven’t made it that far yet either. The unknown is so hard to deal with. New pains from our bodies and new anxieties waiting for everything to work. Goodluck on Sat babe


I so hope I haven’t missed anyone and if so I am sorry.

I have been having bad hormonal teary day today, DH is on night shift and I need him so much tonight, I am finding the further we get into this the harder it is, my tummy is bruised from nearly every needle and I look like a pincushion, even my acupuncture is hurting so it must just be me this cycle.
Now I am looking at EPU next week I am starting to freak out about how I am going to feel after EPU, I have important meetings the following day and I am hoping I am going to be able to cope with sitting down all day.
Can I ask you lovely ladies that have blood tests whilst having the meds what the docs are checking as I don’t have that done and wonder if I am missing something important or if its cause I don’t need it, if I don’t need them then I am more than happy to not have yet another needle stabbed into my body lol
Does anyone on GonalF who has had a dose of 450 through whole cycle feel light headed and extremely tired. I just feel strange this time and am wondering if its jus the meds. My whole body feels like a mac truck hit it today, my shoulders and the sides of my neck are so sore I hope I am not getting

Hope you are all doing well today and not feeling to crappy.

[Amy_jellybean]

Kerbear - Sorry your not feeling the best My FS looks at my oestrogen levels when I have my blood tests.

xxx

[kerbear]

Thanks Amy, I am thinking they don't do bloods on me cause there is nothing they can check that helps what's wrong with me.

[Amy_jellybean]

Yeah we have male factor infertility so I dont think they are checking to see if there is anything wrong as such. If your Oestorgen is to high it can indicate OHSS so I think they keep an eye on it for that reason and also to see when you are likely to be ready for pick up.

[kerbear]

Thanks Amy
