N2L- I am not a spotter either but when I'm on progesterone I seem to spot on and off for a few days before AF. I assume it's because the progesterone is holding off AF and the spotting is breakthrough. With me it tends to lead to another roller coaster of devastation that it hasn't worked followed by mad googling to find all the info on people who have a bleed every month even when pregnant. Obviously, it has always been the former for me...
Hi Vic and Miss B!
Miss B - hope you are resting up and feeling a bit better today. Fingers crossed you are on your way to a bfp.
N2L - Have you had any more spotting? I hate when your body is telling you 'bfp' but af goes all random and you are left wondering and hoping you were wrong. I will still keep hoping you are going to get your long awaited bfp.
Vic - so glad you are feeling better today. Your DH sounds like a gem and its great that you are both keen to continue. It makes it so much easier when your DH is as invested as you. My DH has been so much more support this cycle, checking when my next bt is (even coming along with me yesterday), asking how I am, etc. Last time he was just plane scared and so distant so I'm loving this version!
Amy - hope your feeling better today.
Myturn - how are the jabs going? Hopefully everything is going to plan.
Jane all the best for EPU tomorrow!
Blossom - how did EPU go? Hopefully you are not too tender and they got some nice and juicy eggs ready for fertilisation!
Kerbear - Hoping your IUI went well and those swimmers are finding your egg! Here's to a smooth tww for you. :noaf:
Liseyt - How did today's bt go?
Kashby and Mia hope you are travelling well. Thinking of you both.
Saffy - has af showed yet? Hopefully if not yet, its on its way and you can move full steam ahead into this cycle.
AFM - cd 15 and I have bt tomorrow. I think if this cycle is not successful we will move straight into another one. How long did you girls try OI (clomid/FSH) before moving on to IUI or IVF? This is our second cycle of OI but in between we have had two monitored cycles with TSI (by accident around my surgery) so all up 4 cycles of TSI. Im going to need to give DH lots of time to accept anything more invasive so hoping to have a bit of a heads up.
Anyway, I should get back to writing reports! Very much looking forward to meeting Amy_Jellybean this afternoon.
Vic- I would love to be on the list but stupid AF is MIA- how typical!!!! She better turn up in the next few days or I will be gropable because I have taking a wk off annual leave for my epu week and i don't want to have to rearrange it.:wall:
keta- good luck for BT
n2l- implantation??
Hi everyone else :D
Hi girls just a quick one had epu got 5 eggs
so fingers crossed now for some good fertilization tonight!
Pretty wiped out nothing a good night sleep won't fix.
Jane good luck for tomorrow!
Big hi to everyone hope u all doing ok x
Vic :hug: SO sorry to read your posts from yesterday (sorry been MIA) glad to see you're feeling better about things though.
Its SO typical of all the girls in here we dust ourselves off and "get back in the race" as Frankie would say, good stuff ;)
N2L - It aint over! This is my first time with IVF but when I conceived naturally I had some BL (small amount) at the start so :goodluck:
Jane sounds awesome good stuff!!
:hello: to everyone else I have missed
AFM- just plodding along and waiting for the next step, 3 days to go and I get the synorel and puregon :)
Keta I did 4 months Clomid and 6 months OI before "graduating" to IVF.
Blossom - awesome news about your 5 eggies. Sending loads of fertilisation vibes your way.
Hi everyone else I'm on my phone again so a little hard for personals.
ATM Bt in the morning to see if I am any closer to ovulating. Fingers crossed that we can get this show on the road!
Hi girls,
I was hoping to join in the thread. I recognize a few names from my question about embies last night, which the advice i have received has helped heaps. It's bittersweet to have people going thru the same stuff & be able to vent & discuss this roller coaster that no 'normal' people can even begin to understand!
Me:D
TTC 3 years
I'm on my first antagonist cycle of ivf & have egg collection on fri this week
Only have 5 follies on lhs & rhs not responding nearly at all
I wish everyone heaps of luck & look fwd to reading loads of BFP's this month... 2012 is gunna be a great year for everyone :p I just know it!
Blossom, awesome hun! 5 eggs is great, I hope they all fertilize nicely now! :pray:
Janie, FX for tomorrow hun :crossfingers:
Mia, won't be long for you hun!
Saffy, that's a bugger about your AF. I hope it turns up for you very soon :crossfingers:
Keta, thanks hunni and good luck for your BT tomorrow :crossfingers:
Missren, welcome hun! GL with your egg collection on Friday, I hope all goes very well for you. I have also done antagonist cycles, my right ovary produced 6 follies and my left didn't respond at all, so similar story to mine!
Hi n2l, Vic, Meg, myturn, Amy, liseyt, kashby, kerbear, Jane :)
Hi all!!!
Vic - I'm glad you are feeling better babe - isn't it a nice feeling when DH is on bord ;) I get the feeling that you were worried he wouldn't cope - he has and he did! he'll be fine! Yay for that! (at least!!) If you are prepared to take control of the list... I am happy for you to do it ;) but must admit if you hadn't popped on monday, I would have done it then - shame there's not an easier way to keep it up to date :)
N2L - I'm glad the support is helpful... weird that AF arrived and disappeared.... I guess all you can do is wait for BT..... maybe eptopic??
Jane - great work! hope those little eggies get their act together and EPU goes well. Good luck.... is it tomorrow??
Keta - I only did clomid for 6 month - then the FS said, if I'm not preg that way, then it has to be IUI or IVF.... we discussed the pros and cons of each... and went for IVF - higher chance of success I figured (10% IUI to 30% IVF for me)... and as we could afford it, we went for it....
Miss B - Crinone is def a bit grotty.... hope at least you are feeling okay - I'm sending sticky vibes your way. one word.... aircon.... ;)
Amy_Jellybean - a pain you've had a reaction to the puregon! although I haven't, i did find yesterdays jab a bit stingy... and it usually isn't - which surprised me, and meant I was a bit anxious this morning... it was okay though.... maybe you just got a tender spot??? Somehow the bruises seem a bit like a 'badge of honour' don't they ;)
Meg76 - Dr Google is dangerous!!! but in the TWW - he's my best friend...!!!
Saffy - FX AF arrives soon! xxx
Blossom - woo hoo to 5 eggies ;) sleep well and hopefully they will fertilise and grow nicely. FX!!
Mia - Boo to waiting!! yay to not long now!!
Hi Missren! I missed your post before I saved mine! sorry!! Welcome!!
:hello: Liseyt, Kerbear, Revind, Janie, Kashby and anyone else I've missed....
AFM - just stabbing away.... belly pain seems to have dissipated... hope that doesn't mean they are not working!!! I am starting to think about ET, and wondering about the last cycle, and what didn't work.....
:tmi:wondering why I started bleeding when I was taking crinone?? If I am taking progesterone to mimic early preg, surely AF shouldn't have arrived at all??? How does that work?? How do they know if I am producing enough progesterone in the first place????
I feel good about this round.... always had '2nd cycle would be successful' even before we started..... hopefully I'll be right.... I know I will be devestated if I'm wrong....
I'll survive..... but I will be devestated.... there is no doubt....
Thanks for the welcome miss b! & that is exact same situ as mine!:
My fingers are crossed for your bfp when u have your bt :pray:
Just before I cook dinner thought I would just update everyone.
I am now in the TWW, hopefully DH swimmers are finding an egg from the follicles and we are on our way to something positive.
Went out and bought a new bed which is gorgeous and a new lounge, so in need of both do I can rest well after work each day yay.
I am going to jump on after dinner and chat more.
Vic I am happy to help you with the list anytime you need a break just let me know :-).
Thanks my turn & lots a luck w/cycle#2 :pray:
Miss B – Hope you are taking is easy this evening. Will join you in the TWW tomorrow.
Keta – It’s a good idea to have a back up plan in the event things don’t go to plan with this cycle. I went straight to ICSI, so can’t give you much advice re changing approaches.
Blossum – Woo hoo – 5 eggs that’s awesome – FX they are all fertilizing well this evening and that you get some good quality embies. Are you doing a 3 day or 5 day transfer?
Mia – count down is on. GL with the jabbing.
Janie – how did your blood test go? Sorry for asking, I just can’t remember, what kind of cycle are you doing?
Hi Missren – My FS always told me that 5-6 follies is a good result – so don’t be too disaheartened. Hope those follies keep growing well. Oh and welcome. Glad you have joined us.
N2L – I still have everything crossed for you.
My turn – really hope this cycle is the one for us. I imagine I very soon will be driving myself crazy with questions and thoughts just like you.
Kerbear – that is awesome news! Congrats. Hoping that they all fertilise.
Sorry, I know I’ve missed stacks of people, can only see the last list of entries. Anyways, just want to let you know that I am thinking of you all, hope everyone is feeling good tonight.
AFM – had my trigger shot last night and go in tomorrow morning for EPU. We are having ICSI so hopefully that will help fertilisation rates. Fingers crossed that we get some good embies growing. The plan at this stage is to do a day 5 transfer next Monday (30th) unless the embies aren’t doing too well and need to go back sooner.
Hi Jane, we did iui so I am kinda hoping that only one fertilizes from the follicles we had in there otherwise I will freak out lol, sorry I forgot to write iui was done today on my post :-). We may not even have eggs in the follicles that were on the scan but we are hoping one did.
Thanks Jane ! That's good 2 hear that 5 is ok number :-)
I wish u lots of luck w/ure epu & embies this cycle :-)
Hi girls,
Sorry no time for persies as its 10.30pm here, just wanted to update you guys.
Went to my parents for dinner tonight and had an upset tummy again and spent most of the time on the loo. Got home and went to hop in the shower and started to feel really queasy in the tummy like I wanted to be sick. My heart has been racing all night as well.
Called the 24 hour mobile for my clinic and the nurse has told me to come in tomorrow morning and have a blood test done and go from there. Im really praying that its isnt OHSS and that the cycle doesnt get cancelled.
:(
Quickie.......
Kerbear - the joys of the 2ww - hang in there! Sticky vibes to you and MissB and N2l
Jane - GL for EPU today
Amy jb - hope you settle down and no OHSS :( Will look fwd to hearing all is OK
Bee - hope your dad is doing OK and all is well
Vic - Happy Birthday for tomorrow :) Am sure lots of mixed emotions will come with it but hang in there :)
Everyone else.......happy jabbing and popping and dancing and everything else :) :) Enjoy a day off tomorrow - go Aussies (I am an import but happy to pretend, especially when it involves a day off!)
Oh dear Amy!! Hope it goes okay today !!
FX no OHSS! xxx good luck xxx
