Wow!!! so much going on...skimmed through all the posts and i haven't been able to digest it all, but i want you all to hang in there just like i am.....as you all know i am on my 4th cycle..started the synarel 9 days ago..AF was due 4 days ago! whats the story? when should AF arrive?? This cycle is new to me as i have done the Antagonists and this is my first Down reg and don't know what to expect....i also know that alot of you complain about the sniffing, but for me...i love it!!! i suffer from sinus problems and this has fixed it right up..haven't felt this good in yeeeeeearrrs!!
Danyelle - i also go to st george private and live in the area...i noticed you go to Hurstville...i have Mondays and Tuesdays off work...maybe we could catch up one day if you like and discuss our IVF, if you wish to. Let me know hon.
Loops12, Rob, Juniper76,and anyone else i've missed Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts...
I just gotta start with you FGS - I have to buy a vowel because O my gosh!! That is the most brilliant news I'm going to hear all weekend! Looks like your two possible follies have had a stern word with the rest and they've played ball. I couldn't be more excited for you right now. So, so, so happy for you. Will continue to pray for you and your harvest time. I shall now do the dance of joy
EmeraldStar, you made me laugh about sniffing and your sinus' improving. I guess that damn stuff has to be good for something aside from baby making, huh?
Truebe, so sorry to hear about your Mum. Hope everything goes well and that you can take some time to decompress.
The lab called me this morning. Threebie (3rd embryo) didn't make it. So I'm a little Was really hoping it would get to blasty. I'm grateful for our twobies (2 embryos) and must now spend the next 1.5 weeks not getting too excited nor too anxious. It's a fine line we walk, is it not ladies?
Hello fellow BB ladies,
I usually post in TTCAMAL but I have a specific question I thought you might be able to help with.
I had my 3rd IUI today and my donor's (fresh sperm not frozen) pre wash count was 19 million with 95% motility then post was it was 3 million with 95% motility? I'm obviously missing something about this process because I thought it took away unwanted fluids and poor sperm, so where'd my other 16 million go? Do they just not survive the wash? I can't see that they were all poor morphology if they had 95% motility!
Its been a while since I've been in here, trying to catch up on all the news. Hope you're all well and happy and had a good Christmas.
Trubabe - sorry to hear that things are getting more complicated with your mum, thinking of you and her and sending big hugs
FGS - so exciting about your follies! Thats great news. Ovaries are very strange creatures indeed... so glad your perserverence paid off!
Hi to everyone else I've missed!
AFM - 2nd IUI failed last week, so we're having a month off (we're going away on holidays tomorrow), before one last IUI attempt next month, then its on to IVF. My girlfriend who is a GP reckons I should cut my losses and go straight to IVF, am seriously considering it... See what happens this month, I guess! You never know your luck
FatGirlSlim OMG what a delightfull suprise!!!! Congratulations sweetheart, I know you could do it, just needed a little extra time!!! Wow and a few more follies than expected!!!! So happy for you, you must be over the moon right now!! I remember after I had my scan, the next few days went by so darn fast, next thing i knew I was spewing in the recovery room at Repromed!
I told you it wouldn't be long till you were on the "up" part of the IVF rollercoaster ride!! You just had to trust within yourself that your body would not let you down, and FS knows what there doin!!XXX
Sweetheart, I will chat to you before Tues morning, but sending you more goodluck vibes, you deserve them honey....WOOT WOOT!!!!!!
Leabie sorry your 2nd IUI was not successful, I completely understand how you feel. My DH says now, that he wishes we didn't do the 3rd IUI and just went to IVF, but that is only know that we have done an IVF cycle and he is feeling confident, I was terrified of having to do IVF, I too wanted my 3rd IUI to be a success. But only you can decide, are you stimming with IUI??? Good luck with whatever way you decide, we will all be there for you no matter the journey with bells on XXXX
Nice to see you here Sunbeam!!XX Sorry I couldnt help with answers for you babe, I hope someone can help X...............Hope your not too crampy today by the way, I always had cramping for a week after IUI.
Moonflower, It is lovely that you have 2 Snowbabies in waiting, I still don't know how many..if any I will hav for another week.
I had 1 other blasty that will prob be good enough as of Friday, and 4 embies that were a little on the slow side, and are still growing, deadline is Sunday, and the nurses don't phone for that stuff, they send out a letter. So I hope I get atleast 2 like you have. If we only get 1 and this current ET is not successful, I wil have to do anoth Stim Cycle, and I don't even want to think that far yet!!!! (Gosh I'm day1 in the TWW think positive girl!!) Dodn't mind me just talking to myself now!!XX
EmeraldStar I dunno about your cycle as I too have only done Antagonist cycle, but I still started with no AF, As my levels were at baseline anyway, but I actually had 2 days of very light spotting 2 days into doing the Puregon!!XX Sorry not much help, but best of luck XXXXX
BJ*81 I wish you the very best for the start of your new cycle, I have an accupunctre appt on Mondy, I used to have it all the time but I lost intrest when I wasn't falling PG. But I have started again now, it can only help i guess XX I pray that it helps you to grow some strong follies, will be lovely to hear how you are going, I will watch for your progres X
MissK how are you feeling sweetheart, are you still suffering those nasty side effects from the Levlen?? Hope you are feeling better XX
Rob
Juniper (HUGGS) am thinking of you, I hope your FS visit can sort your endo out soon X
Terry hope your are still feeling refreshed and at ease with yourself, not long till the end of your TWW now?? XX
Danyelle hope you are doing ok I hope you are enjoying a nice weekend XXX
WaitingAwaiting not long until your appt with FS, the 19th isn't it? I hope all goes well XX
Brunette XX I hope you are well XX
Trubabe my heart goes out to you, you have been so strong. Just know we are all praying fo your mother and your family. I am so sorry for what is happening XX I hope your Mum is doing ok, and being strong XXX
How are those beutifull puppies of yours going?? I bet they are growing and have found their teeth by now!
Babytruj ave you turned into an eggwhite yet!!?? How are you feeling babe!?? Have been thinking of you X
AFM, my first ever ET went well on Friday afternoon, hey someone could have warned me to leave my dignity at the door hey???!!!! OMG what we do eh? I held the ultrasound on mt tummy whilst FS put the catherer in an inserted the blasty, we could see on the screen the tiniest flash of light, I was so amased at the whole thing.
They gave me a photo of out Blastie which is so great!! I talk to it and tell it to get comfy!! (DH has mamed it Harvey, dunno why, and I;m not game enough to ask....)
It was so weird thismorning, to wake up and just wonder what is happening inside, the painfull hope and wishing to be a succes, oh this TWW is going to be the hardest one I have ever endured...................
Sorry I have been a bit quiet. But I have been doing a little research for all of us.
DH and I have decided that with the expense of IVF and Medicare not supporting us like previous years we have decided 2010 is our last year of trying to conceive. I have a few eggs in storage and once they run out that is it. We have come to the conclusion that we have to stop some time.
But what I am getting to is:
Being on the 2ww thread for well over a year now. I have seen familiar names and also new ladies come and go when they get their BFP and Its always been lurking in the back of my mind, what did they do to get there BFP.
So I decided to start up a thread in the LT TTC - Pregnancy after LT TTC - " What did you do differently to get you BFP " in hope that we can get some answers from the lovely ladies over there. Any information that they give us might be helpful.
And if any of you ladies do get your BFP which I'm sure you will, please add your " What did you do differently to get your BFP "
+++++++++++
Hey Emerald Star, would love to catch up for coffee one day (well we really aren't surpose to be having coffee, maybe a hot chocolate ).
Mondays isn't good for me but Tuesdays is excellent.

haha... Thanks MOONFLOWER for your dance for joy... !! So talented! - Sorry to hear your number 3 didn't make it....
MURRAYCOD You were spewing? Ewww... What do you mean by "leaving your dignity at the door?" - I am guessing it has something to do with someone working/peering/poking/observing withing a few inches of your va-hoo-hoo!! I think that it is SOOO cool that you got a pic of your Blastie!! See... that's ONE beautiful thing about IVF... who's baby gets a picture of themselves at blastie stage? Yours does! Mine Will! See??? Oh.. and the other HOW COOL thing... is that you got to see the exact moment that that little blastie... ahem... 'Harvey' was squirted into your uterus... cool? I think so!!!!!!
DH has been talking to my ovaries... I can never work out what he's saying because it's oh-so-muffled... but I think he thinks he's doing some kind of good... well, hey... 7 more than we had before popped up... so maybe he's onto something?
LEABIE - sorry to hear about your IUI... xx
AFM... I had my last Gonal-F and Orgalutran shots last night - and at 7:30 tonight, DH (with his now doctor-like expertise) injected me with my Ovidrel Trigger... EPU is on Tuesday at 7am-ish.
I think I might not go to work tomorrow - this morning I woke up in great discomfort - my ovaries are wanting to explode I am sure... I think it will also give me some time to chillax before Tuedsay morning...
OH... also... between scan #2 where there was nothing and scan #3 where there were 8-9 follies... I was SOOO unwell... so sick, dizzy, nausious... and I am thinking it's because my poor body went into overdrive to get these follies fattened up for me...
let's hope there's some juicy, healthy, rock-star eggs in there for Tuesday!
Looks like your two possible follies have had a stern word with the rest and they've played ball. I couldn't be more excited for you right now. So, so, so happy for you. Will continue to pray for you and your harvest time. I shall now do the dance of joy 
Was really hoping it would get to blasty. I'm grateful for our twobies (2 embryos) and must now spend the next 1.5 weeks not getting too excited nor too anxious. It's a fine line we walk, is it not ladies?
Thats great news. Ovaries are very strange creatures indeed... so glad your perserverence paid off!
Dodn't mind me just talking to myself now!!XX
I hope you are enjoying a nice weekend XXX
