Oops emerald didn't mean to make that sound like it was your fault! Sorry!
bj*81 - :doh: i feel so very guilty now.....however i think maybe it is tooo early!! sorry hon. to make you feel like this.
Aw now I feel bad! Seriously I would have caved anyway.... It's all part of this hideous 2ww process. Please don't feel bad!!!! You have more important things to be focusing your energy on ok :) you have been great to me....you all have! Don't know what I'd do without u xxx
Hi everyone,
I'm am new to these forums and was pointed in this direction. I am 26 yrs old and have been married for 3 yrs. DH and I have been TTC since June 08. DH tests showed he has a high morphology level with only 1% being "normal". We were both pretty shocked. Since then we have done 2 rounds of IUI both unsuccessful.
We have also done 1 round of IVF in oct/nov last year. We had 18 eggs removed, 9 fertilised but we only ended up with 1 come ET time, hence none to freeze.
I am currently on my 3rd day of injections on our 2nd round of IVF and have a scan on Friday to see how things are going.
I have been reading the journeys of others and it is so releaving to read that others are experiencing the same emotional rollercoaster as i am.
GL to all at whatever stage they are at:pray:
Thanks for listening :D
Thanks Lairdos, atleast the thaw rate is high for you!!XX
I am not completely sure of the whole process for a blastie, all i know is that because they have a pocket of fluid in the middle, they take the fluid out before freeze so the cells don't crystalise, then at thaw time they have to put fluid back....wel thats what I understand, so only 50%thaw rate for us. But thats ok, we understand the pros and cons, we aren't putting our hearts on our sleave for the FET, we know we are able to do a full Stim cycle in April/May if things don't work out XX
BJ, don't feel down babe, it is still too early!!
Emeraldstar, you are now PUPO x2!!!! Well done, I hope the TWW is nice to you X
Seriously though girls, you have all knocked me off my pedistool....I thaught I was the Queen of POAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:shakehead: Naughty Naughty girls!!XXX:lol:
It should be called a WAABW (week and a bit wait) instead of TWW !
Loops you are right the year is going quick. At NewYears, I felt a little bewildered, because i had focused soooo much on TTC, I accomplished nothing else for the year, absolutely nothing to show for 2009, I hope this year is different!X
Renee, nice to meet you XX Yeup in the right place! Best wishes for your current cycle of IVF darling we will all be here for you!
Thanks for popping in and introducing yourself, I hope us mad girls can make your journey a little easier and supportive X
WAH HOOO!!!! AF has arrived! i know i wont be this happy come next month if she show's her head... but rang my clinic and left message ,hopefully 8 am isnt to early for them. :) so here goes. :crossfingers: i get a place and hopefully be our month! 1 question, last cycle while in the the 2ww , (im like some of you guy a poas addict lol) , any way i did get two faint line's sore breast and really tired, i felt like i sorta knew... but started employment that involved lifting, 2 day later poas but there was only 1 line, I still think this was due to the new job, which i left 2 days after.. does anyone think the same or did the 2ww just send me crazy??? ps i must add, my clinic made mine the 3 ww too!!! :wall:
Just a quickie from me - had more bloods and scan today. E2 has shot up to 13000 and lots of good sized follies. SO trigger in 15 mins ready for EPU on Tuesday morning. Scary and exciting!!!
Thanks Murraycod i am looking forward to joining in the chats!:lol:
littlegem_98 - wow do you have to get a spot in your clinic or they won't take you? FX that all goes well - funny how we get excited about AF one month then the next devastated by it.
bj*81/Emerald Star - HPT are evil! I bought 100 online when I was trying for the first 3 years, I went through so many and never saw anything, including when I had an early miscarriage and should have. Can't say that I won't use them again though as they make the last few days of the wait better because at least it's not a shock when you have to have the BT.
MelissaI- woohoo - hope to hear about lots of eggies from Tuesday!
Renee - welcome - I have found this a really supportive environment for what is surely one of the biggest rollercoasters you can be on! I hope all goes well for Friday.
Hi to everyone :)
AFM - I told my hubby I need something to look forward to as I am home this year with our DD and I would prefer to work part-time at least but as my job is really a full-time job I am taking another year off and will go back when she's 2 (assuming I am not pregnant by then). Going a bit stir crazy as I am so used to working so said I want to plan a holiday and he agreed. Nice to have something to look forward to as I don't think I can handle too many IVF attempts this year (she says knowing that it's not over yet!)
This is going to be really quick ladies as I am flat chat atm just thought I would let you all know scan on Thursday went well I am unsure LOL I was told to come again Monday to see if any had matured so I am going tomorrow and seeing how many we have for possible EPU on Friday at the earliest FS's exact words were " well it will be interesting to see how many of these mature " so unsure what that means till tomorrow... I will be back on tomorrow after scan and will catch up on personals then!!! CYA LADIES AND GL
Hi lovely ladies
Emerald ~ Your welcome hun xoxo. This will be our year!!
BJ ~ Likewise and wishing you all the very best, FX
Murraycod ~ Yeh my year was the same - felt like 2009 was just about TTC, but this is a new year and things will be different xo
Renee ~ Hi and welcome. Our stories sound pretty similar. MY DH had low sperm/mobility and we have done 2 IUI plus 1 IVF, now onto our 2nd. All the best, will have FX for you too.
Melissa ~ We'll be both in tomorrow then. All the best, hope they get lots of eggies. xo
Miss K ~ will be :pray: for you those follies grow and grow, just have to be pos I suppose. You will hopefully get a very pleasant surprise Fri, FX and GL
Hi to people ive missed and all the very best.
AFM ~ EPU tomorrow - Im nervous and excited too! Hoping for good eggies
Heya Everyone!!!
Well my morning was interesting had a scan to find out there are 20+ follies growing with an increased rate of OHSS once again but I decided to still go through with EPU and see what happens after and we will freeze and wait till next cycle if I puff up again (which I am absolutely petrified of) So if all goes well transfer will be next wednesday :)
BJ - I am wishing you all the best hunny its only natural to want to and feel you need to do a HPT I know I will probably do the same thing!! I will have everything crossed for you xxoo
Loops!!!!! - Goodluck for tomorrow I am :pray: everything goes ever soo fantastic your follies turn into wonderful embies!!! xxoo
Renee - Welcome to the thread!! We are all here to support each other and ask as many questions and rant as much as you like we all do it :)
Melissal - GL with your EPU tomorrow morning I will also be :pray: that you get some wonderful follies that turn into awesome embies :)
Hello to all the new ladies!!! And GL to all the ladies in the :2ww: & awaiting EPU & ET I will be :pray: for you all
Loops, good luck tomorrow I will be thinking of you!!!XXX
:D Gosh I remember last month when I was getting closer to my EPU date, I was terrified, now I'm sooo jealouse and want it to be me!!!!:lol:
As you can tell I am just a teeny bit excited to go again!!
MissK I will keep popping back to see how you went!X Fingers crossed!
Lairdos your right it's not over yet!!! Holiday sounds great to me.YThis is going to be the first year DH and I won't be going on a holiday, so we can afford to go full guns at this IVF caper. We will go and go and go and go until we mentally cannot go anymore, it has to work out sooner or later!
Littlegem :dance: Woohoo foe AF!!! I hope you get a spot in this month, you have to!!!!
I agree with you about your thaughts on having a heavy physical job, I am a nurse and sometimes have to work in the nursing home next door to the hospital which I don't like, not because of the oldies, but because of the heavy work and unpredictable behaviour. I took the whole TWW off but I think it did not do me anygood sitting at home in my self induced depressive state!! Mabey I will just make a conserted effort to take it slow and easy so I can go back to work after 1 week XXXX
Melissa goodluck to you too tomorrow hun XXX I hope you get some big fat juicy eggies XX
Rene, how are you, hows the jabbing going? X
OOOH!!! I have an Avy!! Love it, thanks {sarah} XXXX
Thanks so much Murraycod and Miss K!!
Miss K ~ sorry I thought you were the opposite - werent growing quick enough. Must have been mixing you with someone else. Will have FX you don't get OHSS and get a great result at EPU!
Murraycod ~ Where on the Murray do you live? I know what ya mean, ive been hanging out since Aug to go again and now it is here! :lol: Mind you the time went pretty quick when I was so busy with work etc.
Thanks Loops!! Are you nervous excited? I can't wait to hear your results!! Your ahead of me now hehe
Hi all,
Thanks for the welcomes from everyone.
I have been going well, thanks murraycod. The jabbing is going fine, Everyday i am getting more and more low pelvic pain, just like ovulation pain but x10 :lol: I am over the sniffing though, get quite bad headaches using it. Hopefully only a few more days of using it!
Hi ladies,
I am a newbie to this site! I've just started the IVF process - my DH had the chop about 10 years ago (right after he seperated from his first wife and just before we met), so this is our only way to conceive. I started the nasal spray last monday and the only side afffects I'm getting are really sore breasts and a bit of tireness (when exercising)... I haven't had any moodiness (thank goodness!! :D).
It's nice to read all your posts because I don't know anyone else going through this and although I talk to my DH, its good to also talk (or write!!) to others that are actually experiencing it too!!
Kristy
Emerald Star - woohoo for being PUPO. Hoping the 2ww treats you kindly and isn’ too hideous
Renee - welcome to you. We are in a similar position to you with morph problems coming as a huge shock. We honestly thought it would be something minor to do with me, never in a million years did we dream that the only option given to us would be ivf. We weren’t even given the option of iui. Did you do ivf with icsi? Sorry that your first cycle wasn’ successful, hope this is the one for you - good luck
Little gem - yay for AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lairdos - I hear you on needing something to look forward to to help get you through. We had planned on going away for a little break once this cycle is a done deal but we haven’t been able to get time off work which sucks a bit. So now all I have to look forward to is the prospect of my first cup of coffee in months. I completely cut out caffeine and alcohol in December and the no coffee has just about killed me!! Have you got any ideas on where you want to go?
Loops - good luck for tomorrow hun, hoping they get lots and lots of eggies. I’ll be feeling your pain!!!!!
Miss K - really hope this cycle doesn’t end in OHSS for you this time and that you get some lovely follies growing
Murray cod - LOVE your avy!!
Mum-2-be - welcome and best of luck for this cycle
Me - EPU tomorrow, I’m scared,. I think today is the sookiest day I’ve had throughout this whole process. You’d think I’d be jumping up and down with excitement but I just bawl instead. Probably cos for us ttc has been so crappy I have this little voice wondering why this will be any better. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to see how we go, just feeling a bit sorry for myself today. My tummy is huge, I look preggers already!!!!!
Melissal hi, I believe that we shouldn't have been offered IUI either it wasn't until i said after the 2nd try i didn't think it was worth it that they agreed! Yes we used ICSI for the first and will again. I can relate with the tummy :lol: i am 5 days into injections and today i have really noticed the swelling. GL for tomorrow hope everything goes well for you :crossfingers:
Renee and Mum - 2 - Be - :welcome: GL with your cycles!
Murrycod - feel abit embarrassed :redface: but what is PUPO??
MissK and LOOPS12 - Praying you chicks get a whole group of fabulous eggs that become extraordinary embies..GL!
Melissal - GL with EPU and I also wish extraodinary things for you!!
Danyelle - I am so sorry hon....i wanted to thankyou for your SMS, but kept getting caught up with other things that kept sidetracking me...Thankyou! :hug: How are you doing with the 2WW???
AFM - As you all know i am going insane..i have been wanting to go on the 2WW forum but it just makes it so hard to open up to others when i have you guys..:grouphug:
its a shame that we do have to move on to other threads at certain stages on our journey as you build a relationship with everyone here and it makes it really tough to start again with new people...it would be sooo great if we can all move on together!!! :clap: 3 more sleeps till POAS!!!
Mum2be - welcome to the thread :)
Melissal thankyou :) I would be absolutely sh***** myself too if EPU was tomorrow actually I am now and mine isn't till friday bwahahahaha!!!
Emerald Star - I agree with you and you know what I always wonder what the girls in the 2ww are doing and I feel I shouldn't post in there I think we should all stay in the one thread like every other ttc thread hehe... I can't believe only 3 more sleeps I will be :pray: like crazy for you how exciting!!!
EmeraldStar, PUPO is Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise, I dunno who I got that saying from, I think it was Londonmiss!!:lol:
Mum2B, Welcome babe, I agree it is nice to share with other Gals what you are going through, when they are all going through the same. Before I joined this forum, I used to chat to DH about all of my niggles and girly bits, so he is glad that I have given him a break, the poor thing :tmi:
MelissaL, good luck tomorrow X
Loops, fingers crossed, I PM'd you X
MissK I hope all goes smooth for you this time, Friday isn't too far away, try to relax hun, save the stress for the TWW!!! X
Renee, from the start of my injections to the end, I put on 3+1/2 inches on my tummy, was soooo tender!
MissK and anyone else who wants to listen...................
I ve already started all the psychotic things you get up to while on 2ww!! :hide:
* i try and really focus on every twinge and pang and talk myself into believing that its implantation pains.
* Everytime i go to the loo, (tmi) i check to see if there is any mucus or implantaion bleeding.
* Push on my breasts to see if they hurt as much as yesterday...(probably made them sorer from all the poking)
* search the internet for "BFP no symptoms" "5dp5dt HPT" ant the list goes on!!!!!
The only thing left is obsessing over HPT's tooo early not too early.....oooh god listen to me someone kill me now!!! :lol:
Ah, so much to keep up with! How do you all manage it? I always feel completely useless... :redface:
So, 2 EPU's tomorrow if I count correctly? GL to both of you ladies! :goodluck: May tomorrow bring you perfectly healthy eggies!
Renee, I can't remember if I said welcome earlier, so I'll say it now (just in case)! FX you don't have many more days of sniffing to go. I always looked forward to the end of that!
Kristy, I would have long ago lost the last tattered vestiges of my sanity if not for the wonderful women I have met online! As you say, having someone to "talk" to makes this journey so much easier! I hope this cycle brings you the family you are seeking. There's a few of us here who have been through it all before, so feel free to ask any questions.
Hugs and sticky vibes to our very long list of 2ww'ers! I expect good news from you ladies!! ;)
OMG, I always do that - I can't help myself!!:
Um, no, your little embies need their mother to keep incubating them for the next 8 months or so...:
Juniper76 - your little comments made me laugh...thanks hon...helps to have a sense of humour during this time..
EmeraldStar :ROFL:
Darling we all do it, your just the first person to admit it all in one post!!!!!:lol:
(dh is looking at me weird cuz I'm giggling at the compter)
Very best of luck for tomorrow....
Emerald Star - love your comments - exactly what I do!
MelissaI and Loops12 - sending you lots of luck for tomorrow and look forward to hearing some good news.
MissK - goodluck for yours soon too.
HI to everyone else!
AFM - My thaw went OK (1 day 3 8 cell grade 2). Had to wait until 5:30 after I rang at 4 to be told 'I'm very sorry...(my heart dropped)...but I don't have the results yet'. Luckily I got a call back to say it went OK so I have my ET tomorrow morning. Give me a couple of days and I'll be doing the same crazy things. I def. do the breast check and also the internet search as soon as I am far enough along to get some info. For the record my boobs get sore before AF but when I was pregnant, they didn't change except get bigger about 21dpo
There seems to be so many people on here that I'm finding it hard to keep up with everything ... no doubt over then next couple of weeks I will get to know everyone very well!! Anyway here is my first attempt to cover it all !!
FOA - thanks everyone for welcoming me into the chat. It means a lot. :D
MelissaI and Loops12 - good luck today - I'm really nervous for you!! But it will all go great and lots of good eggies will be collected!!
MissK - wishing you all the luck for Friday!!
Emerald Star - wishing you all the luck on your 2WW (from what I see of this thread, I wouldn't want to leave either!!)
Lairdoz - I hope that all goes well this morning!!
Renee - I'm very keenly reading your posts as I should start the injections next week!! I haven't really had any side effects from the nasal spray (only REALLY sore breasts - not sure if thats normal :rolleyes: - but NO moodiness!! :dance:) - Seems like the bloating is normal through from the threads ...
AFM - I should start my injections next week sometime - so there is no big developments yet!!
I hope :pray: that was everyone!!
Hi everyone,
I must admit I love this thread and do not want to transfer over to the 2ww. So I think I will just stay right here :)
Emerald star, I was wondering if you got the message and I totally understand, I know what transfer day is like.
AFM: Well the 2ww hasn't bothered me at all this cycle, I was just concentrating on getting to the NK Cell Test without getting sick and this morning I did the NK cell test :dance:, so now just have to wait for the results.
Has anyone on this Thread done Uterine Biopsy to test for NK Cells ????
As I would love to ask some questions via PM
Good luck everyone with your cycles.
Take care
Hi Ladies,

Hiya girlies, just popping on to say we got 12, possibly 13 eggs. Apparently, I had quite a few empty sacs chock-full of fluid, is this normal? Feeling ok, I LOVE anaesthetic sleeps :lol:. Now we wait :o
Loops, how you doing?
Emerald Star - hang in there chicken, I am sure that I will be up there in the insane 2ww stakes in a few days!!!
BBL, have a good day
hi guys, i love the TWW things wo do . it's so funny but we ALL do them. you fogot to mention but lots of preg tests and do all of them in one day with the same results each time ( BFN for me) but just hoping and praying that they're wrong.

Hey Melissal thats fantastic news congrats!!! wishing you all the luck in the world ...
Hi all,
Melissal - that is great news! GL for the rest of the week hope it all goes well.
Loops12- i hope everything went well for you today.
Mum-2-be - Hi this is my 2nd round and have found bloating to be common after a couple of days on the injections. I have a lot more ovary pain (feels like that is where it is:lol:) this time round and i'm very emotional. Just walked in the door from work and burst into tears DH thought something was seriously wrong:lol: Everyone reacts differently, GL with it all.
Laridoz - GL to you also, hope ET went well.
ATM - i am an emotional basket case today:crying:, getting anxious about fridays scan, which i then have a job interview an hr after my scan.
All the best to anyone else i missed:D
Murraycod - Thanks babe!!! And I see you are cd10 already!!! when are you having ET???
Emerald Star - You are a noodle!! *hides from the crazy lady*
Lairdoz - I hope your ET went really well today!!!
Melissal - YAY for those numbers I hope they turn into wonderful embies now!!! I will be :pray: for you when is your ET???
Loops - I hope all went well with your EPU today I am :pray: that you got a wonderful amount of follies xxoo
mum-2-be - The waiting game until you start the injections drives me fricken bonkers I hate waiting I am soo soo impatient!!!
danyelle - GL in your 2ww!! When are your BT's??
littlegem - I hope all goes well next week now is the waiting game...
JBM - will you be starting again next month???
Renee - I was the same up until last weeks scan!! And to have a job interview an hour after OMG you are insane :P
AFM - Last FSH today last synarel tomorrow morning Ovidrel tomorrow night then wait till EPU friday morning ... I am currently on drs orders of 1L sustagen ( I throw it up so have now changed to biggest loser and it actually has a higher amount of protein I still gag though haha) and 2L of other fluids a day! I have never peed soo much in my life LOL!! Sorry prob TMI but thats me in a nutshell atm!!
Hello to all the ladies I have missed xo
Melissal - That's great news - hope you are resting now as it takes a bit out of you and you need to rest for the new bubba about to settle in. I would be interested to know about the empty follicles as my cousin also went through IVF and we were just talking last week about what the ratio of empty follices is/should be.
Loops12 - Hope everything went well for you today.
Renee - Hi! big hug :hug:- hope you start to feel better - I am sure that Friday will be fine and that you will be great at your interview.
Emerald Star/Danyelle - Hope you aren't going insane just yet!
littlegem_98 - Hope the injections aren't too sore and those eggies are growing nicely.
mum-2-be - I hope you are getting excited in preparation for next week.
Hi to anyone I missed :)
AFM - My embie grew from 8 cells to 12 before the transfer but I told the embryologist I didn't want to know as it only gets me attached and hopeful which makes any negatives even worse! After I finished the nurse came and the first question she asked me was 'do you have any other embies in the freezer' - I wanted to slap her! didn't make me feel too hopeful then!
Do we have to transfer to a 2WW forum? I haven't found one if I am supposed to go there!
Lairdoz - That is the last thing I would want to hear after ET!!! I hope your 2ww goes fast and there is a thread here https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...dec-jan-7.html
Miss K - YAY for tomorrow's trigger, :pray: you have lots of nice, healthy eggies brewing. I hear you on the peeing - my clinic recommends drinking up to 3L a day and I swear I spend half my day in the loo :lol:, has worked wonders for my skin though!!!!
Renee - the ovary pain really took me by surprise in all my naievity, but wow Mon night after I'd triggered, my belly was HUGE. Trousers that were too big were snug, thankfully now not quite so bad. I have been lucky, DH hasn't had to put up with too many emotional outbursts from me, next few weeks will be a bit different as I'm not too good on emotional stress. Wow crazy woman - scan followed by job interview - GL for both!
Lairdos - ugh, I HATE it when you make a concerted effort not to find something out and someone goes and ruins it :shakehead:. All the best for a nice sticky lil bub though. Yeah, I'm quite curious about the empty follies - DH said I went through heaps of test tubes - they had to go and get another lot of them cos I filled up too many, dunno what, if any, significance that has.
Littlegem - thanks hun
Loops - hope all is well
Well EPU was fine - I can honestly say I don't remember a thing. All I remember is having the drugs and the ceiling wouldn't keep still. I was told I'd feel drunk but thats the worst spinning room ever!!!! The ceiling vents were swimming before my very eyes and then . . . I woke up. Bit sore now but I guess thats only to be expected :o
