Thanks ladies, great news for me if its that simple vic, i think i will make an appointment this week with FS. Do you mind me asking the upfront cost for this at your clinic? I remember being tired all the time from the hormones and when I did get pregnant it was even worse lol! Been a busy day here...one more week of night shift before i start my new job YAY!! Is it only me who cant read the words in the box to post the message??
Bleugh..... Didn't like that US very much. No news either I just have to wait cause I need a really big bleed. Great. Apparantly lining needs to be less than 4 and mine is still at 8 (mm I think!!) so back on Friday. At least I can go back to mt Waverley this time. The nurse Jo is back & ready to go by then and she is so lovely!!
Was hoping to start something and feel like its all still waiting.... I really want this time to work so I'm still 35 when I have this baby. Just so I get a chance at having a couple more if I want to.
Oh I feel like crap now - guess its off to chaddy to go shopping and drown my sorrows that way.
@ bee - my upfront cost is $7500 - just a regular protocol though. And that's only if you choose to pay upfront. There are three payment options. All upfront, half now & half later or all at half way through cycle (I think!) but you get a ubstantisl back through Medicare. So input it on my credit card and pay it off as quick as I can.
The box to post will go away after touve been posting for at keast a month and have over 50 messages I think it is. And yes I had some trouble reading them too!!! Lol. Just keep persisting! Good luck at your appointment!
I had just written a massive post, when my internet failed before I could post it. UGH!
Myturn - Sorry to hear that your scan didn't go as you had hoped. I am excited when I am at 8mm and you have the opposite. Its so frustrating when our bodies just wont behave, especially since we all our our own internal clocks ticking away.
Bee - My FET is $1250 with $570 being our out of pocket expense. Payable upfront. I buy the tablets myself at the chemist.
Ker - the whole journey is exhausting! Between the meds and our brains constantly whirling, its so tiring. I know its the meds, but the emotional side of it, is what wipes me out the most. Once I stop the meds I feel better physical, but emotionally I still feel tired.
Miss B - Hope your over your migrane.
Jane - Good luck with your BT today. I did my EPU 4 days after my US, so yours could be sooner than you think
N2L - I hope your cramps are not to bad. I hear that its a good thing though so they are embedding.
Hi to everyone else
AFM - This TWW is going sooooo sloooooowwwww. It feels like forever and its only 1 week tomorrow. I have not had any symptoms. Last time I had cramps and a dull ache and so tired, but this time nothing. Not even sore BB's. Having said that, last time was a BFN, so maybe its a good sign. *Sigh* Why cant they work our how to tell we are pregnant sooner??? Man can walk on the moon for godsake!! I hope its sticking like glue! I dont know how many more TWW's I can take. It feels like I live in 2 week blocks.
WOW, Hi everyone. I will do my best to keep up, But must admit I struggle with some of the abbreviations.
Vic- all of our fingers are crossed for you. At least you're one week in! xxx I imagine it's the most frustrating time! But also, I am totally to be there with you.
Kerbear- I am glad you said about being drained, I have felt SOOO tired the last few days and couldn't work out why (I worked 6 days in a row and put it down to that). It sucks that not only are we jabbing, snorting etc. that we have to feel like s**t aswell! no fair!!
Jane- how did blood test go?
Myturn- I read it all too xx I am doing a long cycle this time. Using Lucrin at the moment and then start Puregon on the 18th. This is kind of my second go- I did a short cycle last time and was on orgalutran and puregon but my cycle got cancelled after my BT & US cause my oestrogen was too low. So i started the pill, changed cycles and we are trying again. Really scared about it all to be honest.
Amy- Orgalutran hurts a bit more than other ones, but not heaps! I did often use a heatpack on my tummy after it to help with the itch/pain.
Ps. even taught hubby to draw up meds now so he brouhgt it in all ready to go this morning.
Miss B- I definitely had sore bobs, sore ovaries and fluid retention. But think its all worth it xx although I never had migraines. Feeling any better?
Hi to everyone else and sorry if I've missed you xx
AFM,
So have been really tired and emotional this time. Had a few drinks at a dinner party last night with my 2 best friends. One confessed to be that she is off the pill (but not actively trying) and the other (who gets married in March) is going off the pill after her honeymoon. So in the car on the way home I was a total mess, telling DH that I dont want them to be pregnant before me and that I dont know how I will cope if they are. He thinks I am being pretty selfish and worries that I will lose friends over it all- but explained that hormones + wine makes me go mental.
I have BT on the 24th US 27th. Feels like this month is going slow motion.. hurry up!!!
my turn - thanks SO much I AM def going to feel like a total junkie LOL shouldnt laugh at that but you know what I mean. I do drive in to work so it will be cool to leave it in my car or in my bag and then go to the bathroom or something. Either way I'll figure something out LOL will def have something to drink after cos I know what you mean re the after taste. I had a nasal spray when I was very little for a bad cold I had and it was yuk from what I remember so if its anything like that I will be prepared and not sneeze! LOL
kerbear - hope you got some rest hun and it made you feel better
Panadol for all! LOL
Miss B hope your migranes have left for good! Nothing worse, I can see me getting them (I usually get them when AF is about to arrive) but with all these hormone medication I can imagine I'll be suffering but like my nurse said, no need to suffer just pop even more tablets LMAO! Long story short take care of yourself and I hope they go away

kerbear, I feel a tad tired but mostly emotional (if I finish the herald sun w/o getting emotional and teary over something it's a miracle) and I have that tender belly with the pain mainly on the left hand side. I'm not sure if that's my dominant ovary or if the pain is associated with an internal scar from the spot they took my gigantic fibroid from. Who knows!
bee, I think my fee was around the $7000, and I will be out of pocket $3500 or something like that. I have so far paid $4200 up front and when my egg collection takes place they will charge me the balance.
myturn, I'm sorry the u/s didn't go better hun But don't stress darl, the ball will start rolling for you soon and before you blink it'll be EPU!
vic, with my first BFP I didn't have any symptoms whatsoever, and with the second I had a 'feeling' I was UTD. Can't really remember what I felt like, but I must have suspected something was different. So don't stress hun, every BFP is different Not long to go now! Wishing you the very best
Mia, thanks hun, I took one panadine forte last night and it went away. Today has been better than the last two days.
Well, not much to report ladies, u/s is at 9.45 tomorrow and a BT following that. Not really sure what to expect....We had a lovely relaxing day today, we went to Kurrumbarra and had some lunch there and looked around the old village. Now I'm pooped, can't wait for wee man to go to sleep so I can put my feet up and watch some telly.
I am a bit lost as to where everyone is with regards to treatment!! Sorry!! Needless to say, whether you are sniffing, jabbing, scanning or waiting, I hope all is well
Sorry to hear your scan didn't go so well this morning myturn. Is it a case of just taking more suppression drugs and
waiting? I have never done a down reg cycle so I am not sure the protocol. I hope your lining thins out more really soon
Vic, I always found FET cycles are much less physically taxing than Stims. I never have side effects or 'symptoms' during FETs. I hope in your case it is a positive sign.
Miss B, good luck with your scan tomorrow! I hope you have lots of follies!! What time is your appointment??
Lisey, sorry you are having difficulty with some of the abbreviations. Let us know which ones and we can help you out we have all been in the same place!
Afm - mild cramps and backache on and off all day. Didn't feel so crash hot this morning so have basically been watching tv most of the day (DP and DD are camping so I am home alone). I POAS a stick this morning with fmu. Faint positive. I am only 5dpo (2dp3dt) so I know it is just the ovidrel (I took it seven days ago). It should be gone tomorrow I reckon.
N2L - Fingers crossed that faint positive gets stronger and stronger. I don't know how people manage the TWW withput POAS. I imagine I'll be using a few in a couple of weeks.
Miss B - Glad you had a nice day and a break from the aweful headaches. Good luck with your scan tomorrow.
Vic - EPU 4 days after US - wow. Hadn't even contemplated that as a possibility. Oh well will just have to wait and see.
Liseyt - Sorry to hear you had a rough night. I think we have all been in that boast where someone announces they are pregnant or that they are trying and seconds later seem to fall pregnant. I still find it hard not to feel jealous. It's not a quality I like but at the same time, it seems like an extremely normal and reasonable way to feel. I hope you get your BFP soon.
Kerbear - hope you are feeling better today. If not, well at least you know you have us gals here at BB to vent to.
AFM - blood test this morning was great. The nurse was a pro. Quick and painless. Got a call this afternoon to say that my body is responding as they had hoped so no changes to my medication dose. US and another BT on friday.
myturn: sorry your scan didn't go as well as you would have liked. I am still getting used to all the terminology as it is my first ivf, I don't know what they want to see wehn i go for mine, no one has really explained. it gets to what you need it to be.
N2L: i hope your faint positive is more than just the drugs,
Liseyt: i completely understand how you feel, I am so happy for my friends that have all gotten pregnant in the last few months, but I am very jealous of the fact that they didn't even have to try, but i suck it up in front of them and never let them know how much it crushes me. I find this way it will never affect our friendshi cause it is not their fault. I also figure that even if I am still trying when they have had theirs I will steal them for cuddles which I always enjoy cause it kinda takes away the pain a but for me, over not ever getting to cuddle babies.
Jane: excellent news that your body is responding as they want it to, this is a good sign, hopefully this is your month.
MissB: good luck with ultrasound tomorrow, I am glad I am not the only one who has been tired, I keep telling myself its all in my head, but then I realise that its not
Vic261: another day down of your tww, yay the more down the less to go.
Hope I didn't miss anyone, DH is hassling me to go to bed and I wanted to do a post on the computer as its easier.
AFM: Thanks for all your messages and help with my quesitons, I feel like I know nothing most if the time, I hear you ladies talk about things and because its not the same as my cycle I get lost but I am learning very quickly how different all of our cycles are.
I have my fist scan tomorrow, don't know what to expect, but good new would be nice, I know the drugs are doing something cause of the pain in my tummy and headaches. Start taking cetratide tomorrow, so ramping it up to 2 injections argh!!!
Thanks mia just sitting in waiting room now, feels like fs is taking forever, I wish DH was here cause I feel like crying and don't even know why lol, he can always make me smile.
I just have to wait cause I need a really big bleed. Great. Apparantly lining needs to be less than 4 and mine is still at 8 (mm I think!!) so back on Friday. At least I can go back to mt Waverley this time. The nurse Jo is back & ready to go by then and she is so lovely!!
