Hi Katones
Sorry, not sure what OCP is??? I did an antagonist cycle this time around.
n2l
OK, I've been offline for a couple of days so am going to attempt to catch up with everyone....please forgive me if I get a little confused... it is so busy in here atm!
Williever - My clinic did BT on days 4, 6 & 8 to start with, which I think is probably the norm for my clinic. Did they change your dosage? What a great start to your cycle with a good follie count.
Happy baby - How are you feeling after your EPU? FX that you get a couple of nice little blasties happening. It is a nervewrecking time.
Oneday - Woo Hoo!!! Big Congrats. Your numbers sound really great. Plenty of sticky vibes to you xx
Melissa – I’m so sorry that you haven’t had a great start. Is it a different protocol from last year? I know that there can be big differences in each cycle. My last stim cycle was great, but the one before was abysmal. What is the colarado
Blossum - Wow, what a high dose! ( I think) How are you feeling? 12 Follies… sounds like a great start!
N2L - What did your FS say in regard to your endo? Here is hoping that your little frostie is a super embie! Yes, it really only takes one, that's all it takes in a 'normal' conception, so your little embie has as good as chance as any.
It is a personal choice I suppose re another cycle, if your thaw is unsuccessful it would be devestating. Now that you have chosen to do a fresh cycle, do you have to wait about 2 months before they like you to stim again? I know what you mean about feeling the time go buy. Good luck, I hope the wait is not too excruciating for you!!
katones - big hugs to you, I know that there is not a whole lot I can say that will make you feel any better about it. I’m so sorry that this cycle didn’t work out for you and that AF is being such a b*tch When will your next cycle be?
Kass – FX that your POAS is wrong and that it is just too early to detect your hcg. Good luck for tomorrow.
Teirae – how did you go with your FS appointment?
Saffy – A great big hug for you as well. I hope that your time away will be a good distraction for you, but I know that is hard because TTC is always in the back of our minds. Take care of yourself and try and spoil yourself a bit.
JBM, Loops and anyone I may have missed – HI!
AFM – I am finally in my TWW. I had ET yesterday and ended up deciding to transfer only 1 embie. This is my first FET with this clinic and also with a blastocyst so thought I’d play it on the safe side. So they thawed one hatching blast that apparently froze 100% intact. (First time I have got 100% in anything since year 4 maths !) If this cycle doesn’t well, I will try for 2 next time.
My transfer went much more smoothly than last time. I actually ended up seeing a hypnotherapist to help me out with my anxiety and I think it actually worked! She also gave me breathing exercises to help calm me down as well. BT is on the 22nd .
nothing2lose ~ OCP (oral contraceptive pill)
tantee ~ i am actually handling it better than i thought would :) i will hopefully (fingers crossed they can fit me in) start the pill next month then go from there...another full down reg cycle
:duh: at OCP.... lol it's been a while since I have needed to take it :D
thanks!!!
bwahahahahaha N2L :P
n2l - I think I would also be doing another stim cycle in your situation. I hope that little eggie survives, but it's good to try for more. Will you be able to start again soon?
tantee - I think you are right. It does make sense that it would be 2,4, then 6 just to keep an eye on things. When they call with tomorrow's results I will check if everything's ok.... not sure what could be not ok at this point. Trying to go on as 'normal' and let them do all the hard work. The hypnotherapy sounds interesting. I def. need to learn some breathing techniques!
Melissa - I hope the scan and BT show positive signs :hug:
afm - day 4 of injections. Last night didn't hurt a bit. I have noticed though that I am sleeping like a baby after the jabs.....Maybe it was just a long week. Can't complain though if that's a side effect! Not feeling hungry, which is very unlike me! and been having a few headaches - need to step up the water drinking! That's about all. BT tomorrow morning and then we'll see what they say. Ticking along ok though:thumbsup:
Had the BT this morning. And for the third time two nurses fished around for a stubborn vein. I am worried they may need to use my hands as the bruising is covering the area. I tried drinking lots of water..........any other tips for a (apparently only one is good enough) shy, deep vein? It's getting painful now (sadface).
tantee: woohoo tww. good luck sticky vibes and all that for you.
williever: i have dep veins too as well as low bp , but sorry no answers for you. good luck anyways. good luck with the jabbing. fingers crossed for you. x
1moreplz: yeah here we are on the pill but we are trying for a baby ? ha ha. sometimes you have to wonder. lol. good luck to you.
nothing2lose: hope all is going well for you.
been away for a week so still getting back into where everyone is.
afm: got FS app in 10 days time. woohoo.
Hello lovelies,
Happy valentine's day!
On phone so just a quickie. My fs emailed me in response to a few questions I had. She said I can definitely do another stim cycle straight away and af will definitely arrive in two weeks
As per my current cycle schedule due to the fact the trigger jab will keep it on track! Yay! I think...lol
Hope you all have a great day x
N2L
Whew, that's great news N2L! I know many clinics make you wait 2 months.
Hi Lovely Ladies
Been MIA for few days, so trying to catch up and hope I get this right:
N2L ~ Yay for doing another cycle so soon! Wishing you lots of luck and happy you got at least one on ice :)
Oneday ~ Congrats on the BFP!! :happyforyou: Hope all continues well :pray:

JBM ~ GL with your FS appointment, coming up quickly - YAY
Teirae ~ Glad you got your cycle sorted, :crossfingers: for ya!
Melissa ~ :hug: So sorry about your poor response, :pray: your cycle doesnt have to be cancelled hun, you've been through enough heartache. Hoping all works out xo

Tantee ~ All the best hun, 100% - thats awesome! Wish I could get that with something. xo
Sorry If Ive missed anyone. Sending out loads of babydust and stickyvibes for everyone in here.
AFM ~ Nothing new to report - still waiting on some BT results from before Christmas, no money to do our cycle in May we were going to do and Insurance still not sorted for DH's work accident :wall: Least we have each other I suppose.
Happy Valentines Day everyone xo
hi girls,
sorry its been a while, there is just so much going on for everyone I was having trouble keeping up, and didn't want to do a just me post!
so i'm going to try my best to do personals...if i get it wrong or miss you out IM SORRY!! i am thinking about all of you and sending you all so many baby vibes!
N2L ~ Thats great that you can get right back into it no problems and do another STIM cycle =) hope the TWW goes quick and painless and AF comes and goes and then you can get into it!!!! yay!! and its good to hear that stuff they found wasnt anything too nasty.
JBM ~ hope the next 9? days go quick for you and you can take the next step in getting things started
Williever ~ lots of water is good, keep it warm, and below your heart can help. I only know from trying to get blood from people...and i'm not very good at it =P my own veins pop out like no tomorrow so the pathologists just have to look at me and they have blood. My FS did mention that one of the side effects of the injections are being sleepy. do you know when about you will be ready for the pickup?
1moreplz ~ you through me for a bit there...being tricky and name changing and whatnot. *big hugs* for last cycle. hope this next one is it!!! will be stalking you when you start =)
Tantee ~ it went well =). oh STALKING!!!! STICK LITTLE EGG STICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when are you testing?? or are you behaved and waiting for your bt? oh i'm preying so hard for you!!!!!!
MelissaI ~ I hope those levels pick up and start doing something!
Oneday ~ YAY!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!! stick and grow little one =)
Happybaby ~ Will be stalking you tomorrow to see how many last, hoping its all 4 for you!
Kass ~ ??? have you tested again? oh please let it be a BFP for you!
Saffy ~ are you in the TWW? sorry i cant work out where you are at. I hope wherever you are your going well and there is very little drama.
Anyone else I missed I"M SORRY!!! I hope whereever you are in your journey its going well!!
AFM ~ well we had our first FS appointment. He checked me out and all my bits are perfect =) I was even ovulating at the time. he said all I need is some sperm in me and i would be UTD. So now we are just waiting for AF so I can start the down reg cycle and take my OCP (crazy) and then we will start =) I had weird feeling to start...like its really happening..but now i'm excited again =)
EDIT: LOOPS!!! HI!! *big hugs* try and enjoy it, try not to think about it (i know i know...why even bother saying stuff like that cause we all know it is impossible. whats with the waiting for results from before xmas?? surely they are done and ready by now??
Hi everyone
My bt was a bfn, again. Time to start another fresh cycle...
Kass - awwww big hugs hun, I am so sorry :-( FX that this next fresh cycle will be the one
Teirae - woohoo for things starting, its always pretty exciting when you get to that point. Yeah, I didn't get the whole having to start the pill when you are desperately trying to get preggers!! I noticed on your post to Williever that you have taken blood in the past - just curious, are you a nurse/phlebotomist? My job is to actually process all the blood samples (hence ivf and privacy at work for me is an issue). I have drainpipe veins too but just on one arm, the other is crap and noone can get anything off it!
Loops - hiya - how is the patient doing? Hope he is healing well. That is a bugger that you will have to wait for a bit before you can try again, what tests did you get done (if you don't mind me asking)? You have def hit the nail on the head there, saying at least you have each other. DH and I have been constantly reminding ourselves of that lately, that we as a couple is the most important thing in this whole journey. But a bub would be great too.
N2L - YAY for being able to start a stim cycle again so quickly :)
Williever - how did you BT go? Happy jabbing and keep chugging down that water!
Tantee - that is the really weird thing, other than doing Colorado this time round, my protocol was EXACTLY the same even down the the Puregon dose so we really don't know what was going on. We are doing colorado this time as I have quite a few autoimmune issues (coeliac, thyroid, ana) and by taking aspirin and steroids, it will hopefully just quieten my immune system down enough to stop trying to boot out my poor little embies. We also get antibiotics thrown in to prevent any infections cos of my dumbed down immune system plus extra oestrogen too. Hate hate hate progynova tabs but if they help, then that is awesome, just get absolute killer migraines and fatigue on them. Wow, a perfect thawed hatching blast - that is awesome :) GL and hope the 2ww isn't too awful for you.
A big HI to JBM, 1moreplz and anyone else that I have missed.
Well, we had another scan and BT today and what a turn around! We went into our appointments today fully expecting to be cancelled but we have gone from next to no follies to 12 over the weekend. E2 has more than quadrupled since Friday so we are much much happier. Trigger tonight with EPU on Wednesday. We've got 5 decent sized follies atm plus another 7 tiddlers at about 7 - 9mm, anyone have any idea what our chances are of them catching up enough by Wednesday? Unlike last cycle, we still have to have our super duper shot of Puregon tonight so I'm hoping that along with the trigger might give a few of them a fighting chance. Thank you so much for your support, we were pretty devastated on Friday
N2L ~ hun that is good newsabout your impending cycle :)
Kass ~ hun sorry about the BFN :( sucks big time... will you have a months rest then back into it??
Everyone else....sending LOTS of folly/sticky/baby dust your way
AFM ~ AF is killing me!!!! really bad after that BFN haven't had one like this for AGES...... counting down til the 11th of next month...
oh Kass *biggest hugs* sorry to hear, keeping you in my thoughts and really hope next time is it for you!
MellisaI ~ Im a midwife (& nurse). I use to take blood a few years ago when i worked in an emergency department...I'm just out of practice I guess, these things you have to keep doing to keep up your skills. all the best for wednesday!!! awesome you levels jumped, and heres hoping there is lots of little eggies there waiting to get picked up =)
EDIT: SNAP 1moreplz, giving you all the cyber heatpacks and chocolate I can muster to keep you going =)
Kass I'm sorry it was a BFN :hug:
Melissa That's such good news you've got some decent follies. Isn't ttc/ivf such a rollercoaster of a journery. I hope it remains nice and stable for you. Good luck on Wednesday.
Sorry this is a quick post. All scheduled for 8am appointment with 8:30 transfer.
all the best everyone
