Kearbear - so deflating and heartbreaking xx
Miss B - GL with your BT today hope it gives a positive result
Lisey - so lovely you were in here before EPU this morning!! Hope you have a huge haul, minimal pain post op and that they fertilize nicely for you over the coming days.
Mia - I can't recall the pill cycle, but i know it was about 6 weeks all up for me, incl pill. The excitment waiting almost hits the pain threshhold doesn't it? GL.
Everyone else...my thoughts
AFM - am at work early, told the boss i am leaving early and she didn't even flinch, just said that was fine! I then decided to tell her i may be off for several days next week and again, it was 'no worries, thanks for letting me know.' Couldn't ask for a more agreeable response! After today's US will return to my other office for a meeting with colleagues i haven't seen since pre-Chrissy though. I can see them now looking at my bloat and thinking - "gee, hasn't she put it on over the holidays" If only they knew!! I assume the FS will call me to tell me what the next step is after that...am anxious i'm going to ovulate early even though i'm on the orgalutran and then I get cross at myself for worrying about something that is being medically controlled and is out of my control anyway. Honestly, if we don't at ourselves, we'll .
Kimbe- don't stress I am a notorious early ovualter and I have never ovualted on the orgulatron. I had a BT on Wednesday (CD8) which showed my LH rising so I had to start the orgualtron early and had a scan yesterday all good. So please put your energy into worrying about something else god knows there plenty to choose from!!
ps your boss is a legend!
Hi girls just a quick one for me, have been tossing and turning all night with tummy and back ache, got up early this morning to go to the loo and was in so much pain just doing a wee. Then ended up on the toilet floor hurling my guts up sorry for the tmi. Feeling like absolute garbage this morning. I don't wanna call the clinic because I know they'll cancel my transfer. It I think I'm going to have to
oh Amy -sorry it hurts so much! I guess the little embie won't be too happy if you are really unwell though
big hug, I hope you call and they fix it so you can still have ET
Kimbe - I agree with Saffy, you're boss is awesome I was also worried I would ovulate early when I triggered on tuesday!! Lol... Especially after I actually found EWCM on wednesday night!! I've NEVER found it before - now that I've seen what it's supposed to look like, I realise the few times I THOUGHT I did.... I was wrong! (sorry if TMI!) (actually it's pretty amazing stuff really!!) so I think we can all be irrational sometimes... and you're right.... if we don't we'd
I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself, and I can't help but feel cross at all the facebook updates about kids starting school! driving me insane!!! seriously there are worse things to cry over! You don't have children so you can have little babies forever, you have children to watch them grow to be the best adult they can be. Bleugh... sorry for my little rant....
omg my turn I was thinking the exact same thing today too! Its the hormones don't worry. But seriously has every single person put photos on facebook about their kids starting school or what??
I had the same thing yesterday when i was in the waiting room of FS clinic to see the nurse, every single person there was pregnant with a pram ( FS is an OB as well), I nearly couldn't cope,, was fragile anyway but that just took the cake grrr.
unfortunately my sister is one of them seems to make it even harder as I'm supposed to be more supportive... little does she know that it breaks my heart every time I see her.
She just thinks I'm jealous... In fact I think all my family think that.... but that's not it.... and I can't really explain what it is... but I know you guys will know what I mean
anyway.... feels like the day is dragging, dragging, dragging.... praying the little embies are growing nice and well....
p.s. Jane - if you're stalking, hope you're okay... and not sitting at home the whole week feeling too miserable for yourself can't PM you cause you've not flipped over to bellybelly member yet... but if you had, I would have sent you a lovely message and big cyber hug xxx

Myturn I know how to explain it, it's not jealousy it's the 'I wish I could get pregnant just like you did' feeling, it's more a feeling of wanting to feel a bit normal with trying to have a baby and not feel like the special case that has doctors poking and prodding, taking medication, having to have time off work and explain to more people than you want to what is going on.
Hope you are starting to feel better hun
Hope you are all well.
Amy hope you are feeling better soon and don't have to miss your transfer.
Myturn - glad I wasn't the only one to notice the influx of school 'first day' photos. I don't think its jealousy just that its an in your face reminder of what you are going through. Oh and Saffy is completely right - those stupid hormones!
Wanted to wish you all the best. I'm going to head over to the tww thread but I will most certainly be stalking. I think a few of you will be following soon, so see you there!

Amy - I hope that your ok. My heart is breaking for you and hope that your cycle doesn't have to be cancelled. We are all here to lend you support.
liseyt - Good luck with your EPU. We will all be stalking you
Kerbear - So sorry sweetie. We are all here is you need. Have a really good long cry. Release some of the emotions.
Myturn - Well done hunni on your 7 eggies. the whole 7 have fertilised.
Miss B - Any news yet???
Big Hi to everyone else.
AFM - The appointment well. I think. It was really weird actually and I sort of left a bit emotional. My FS basically said I was old and my quality could be shot and maybe I should be realistic and think about life without having a child. I felt like he was airy fairy and too up in the clouds. He agreed to another stim straight away so I bought meds home with me on the plane. He also said to me that they consider 43 the cut off age. It was a bit loopy the meeting. Had bit of cry last night. Feeling a bit cheated that through circumstances I am trying to have a baby so very late in life and wont have time to try different things. We have pretty much made up our minds that this will be our last stim cycle (and our first fresh transfer) and will use up whatever we get out of it. Having said that I know should that time come and we are not pg then I wont want to stop. Anyway chin up. I have my meds, so just waiting for AF. I stopped my meds Wednesday so AF should show up over the weekend. Have a great weekend everyone.
sorry Vic so unfair that life throw these curveballs sometimes - I always thought it sucked that I did all the "right" things.... got a good career, bought a house, was the model child... and yet, couldn't find a guy...
then when I did.... he didn't want me to move in... then when he did.... he wasn't ready to get married.... then he was okay starting to try to have kids.... and that didn't happen.... feels unfair.... then he was ready to get married... so we did.... but then getting preg is still difficult...
feels like i have done "everything right" in my life... so why is it that the ONE thing that is more important that ANYTHING else, doesn't come as easily as the rest..... sometimes I am sure the universe is punishing me....
but.... i can't really complain..... and I do have some time still.
Vic I really hope this one goes well for you... and you do have time still!
I think Melbourne IVF does cycles up to 45.... check out their website perhaps??? if you have to fly out ANYWAY to do things... maybe fly a bit further???
Vic- wow he is blunt, thats unfair to say that to you when you are vulnerable anyway. ITs not your fault, I started late in life too, only met my man when i was 35, its not our fault. Also heaps of people get utd at 40 via ivf, and many older women use egg donors so there are other options there for you. HUGS chick x
Vic - sorry your doc was such an ass!!!
Saffy I've just called the clinic and left a MSG for one of the nurses to call me back. I'm feeling a teeney tiny bit better, haven't vommited since this morning but I'm still feeling very nauseous and sore. Will just ask the nurse if it's normally to be feeling like this. I managed to get about 3 bites of toast down and about 4 sips of water
Thanks girls. I met my DH at 38 and we got married last Easter. I didn't think I would ever get married or have the opportunity to have a child, so feel like this carrot is dangling just out of my reach. If its not going to happen, stop dangling the stupid carrot!!!
oh dear Amy! I really am crossing everything for you!!
There's so much expectation for women these days to have careers and stuff as well, and you feel like you're supposed to do it all!!! It's hard to find someone that suits you and that you feel you could spend the rest of your life together.
I still feel hope for you Vic, it hasn't really been that long! and as Saffy said - there's lots of options still.
AFM - this is novel - I got a text message from the clinic confirming my appointment with Dr at 10.10am tomorrow.... dunno how the eggies are going, but there must be something in the bunch!!!! Text is weird... but anyway... at least I know it's happening!!
