Hi girls,
Hope you are all well.
WillIever, i cried in front of my boss during a cycle - its a tough time. Then when i had a BFP she gave me a big hug because she knew how much i wanted it!!! Dont be embarassed, you're only human.
Loops - have a great annivesary and big wishes for you in the future.
Happybaby - finges crossed for you, i will see you in the TWW.
Hey to everyone else i have missed!!
AFM - have been popping in and out of here for about a month now, but i am back in, and almost in the TWW. Trigger injection tonight, EPU on Saturday. Had a scan on Tues and there were lots of follies, but some werre too small so hopefully they will have grown. Fingers crossed for lots of little eggies on sat. Then transfer the following thurs with one blastie. Starting to get a bit nervous, just need to keep my mind off it! Yeah right.
Good luck girls, you are all so brave, i forgot how hard it is to go through this. Just have to stay strong. Speak soon.....
Melissa - i hope your tansfer goes ahead, fingers crossed for you!!
-
Williever - Far out! I am so sorry that you have hit a hurdle in your cycle. I know what you mean about the crying, it happens at the best of times but it is very hard to hold back in front of others when you are faced with such crappy news. I really, really, really hope that you have a little miracle tomorrow and the stupid polyp has disappeared and will leave you alone for good. Big, big, big hugs to you hun, this is tough going but you will get there....
Melissa - You have had such a tough cycle. Your little embie will be in my thoughts tonight when I send out my sticky vibes and I am so hoping for you that you have good news tomorrow. :pray:
Your bleeding sounds quite heavy, did you speak to your nurse/fs about this today? Has it eased for you today?
Loops - happy anniversary. It sounds like your dh has a great nurse (with benefits!) to aid his recovery. A holiday when he recovers sounds like a good plan.
Happybaby - great to hear all went well. I hope AF keeps away for the next 9 or so months for you..
N2L - How are you feeling?
Hi to all you other ladies 1moreplz, jbm, teire, kass and anyone else I may have missed. I hope you are all looking after yourselves.
AFM - 6dp5dt and not feeling very optimistic. Have refrained from POAS (usually do by now) and am feeling miserable today as I have no symptoms whatsoever, pretty much feeling that this cycle is done with.
-
JayeJaye - Good luck for your EPU on Saturday and here's hoping that your little ones have caught up. Best of luck!!!
-
Thanks tantee, good luck to you too!!! Not long to wait now! Stay positive!! I know its easier said than done!!
-
jayejaye - Thanks hun. We are human so I guess I should get over it. Good to know others have had to deal with the emotions too. Wishing you all the best for Saturday x
tantee - Not long to go :crossfingers: Everything crossed for you. I really need that miracle!
Melissa - Still sending you my thoughts. Everything crossed for tomorrow :pray:
-
Really quick one from me. Our little fighter has made it through the night - huge huge huge sigh of relief. My sister texted me before and said it must be a wee toughie to survive having been dug out of me (quite literally!!). So ET is 4pm today. Thank you all so so very much for all your thoughts - this cycle has sucked. The bleeding has pretty much stopped now, though after EPU, I did have to stay for quite a while because of the quantity of blood coming out - gross!!! I looked in my little handbook yesterday and apparently heavy bleeding happens in 1% of cycles. Lucky me!
Williever - meh, don't worry about the crying AT all - this is one of the roughest journeys we will ever take. My workmates are quite used to me wandering round with red eyes. My (male) boss who I have had several personality clashes with over the last few years actually said to me on Thursday that if I ever needed to go into his office to talk or have a cry to just go and do it. Not that I ever would but it means a lot when people do try and understand that much.
Anywho, BBL for a few persies XXX

Hi Melissa
I have not had a chance to come in here over the past couple of days other than to read. I had planned on coming in today for persies.
But, as you may be off for your transfer soon I just wanted to wish you the very, very best of luck. I know what it's like to have just one little egg after what is a long and difficult process. To put it quite bluntly, IT SUCKS BIG KNOBS!!!!!!! (caps for emphasis).
I will have my fingers crossed for you.
take care xxx

melissai: good luck for ET today .

melissai ~ good luck today for transfer :)
-
Melissa My thoughts are with you today. Wishing you a smooth transfer and see you in the 2ww!
Williever I'm so sorry this cycle has been interrupted. Hope the polyp is cleared up soon

Thank Goodness Melissa. Sending you a tonne of good luck and sticky vibes for your transfer this afternoon.
-
Melissa - I am SO happy that little eggie fought its way through the night. Good luck with the transfer. My thoughts are with you! Your news really cheered me up!
Hi everyone,
I just thought I would update before I finally call my mum to let her know what is going down....tried to keep this cycle a secret.....oh well!!
So, I had the ultrasound today which confirmed a large polyp (how this wasn't caught during my last hysteroscopy is still my biggest question:angry:). We are still going through with the cycle and I am triggering tomorrow which means pick-up will be Monday. Surviving eggs will be frozen (there are 12 big follies - reaction to drugs has been great). I will have to wait for transfer, but they are getting the polyp in the same hit as the pick-up.
I hope this is the end of it. I just can't believe anything is there after my last op.! So angry and sad at the same time. I could have been getting pregnant without IVF if it wasn't there...................:shakehead: tired of this
-
Williever - :comfort: sorry you have had such a rough day. Crappy polyp. When did you have your hysteroscopy? Great news that you have so many good size follies, I really hope you get lots of good quality embies. When will they be freezing them, as soon as they are fertilised or will they try to send them to blast? I suppose it will depend on how many you get. Good luck with your trigger tomorrow, any consolation, Sunday will be a day off from meds so a perfect time to indulge yourself with something special. What time is your EPU on Monday?
-
Hi tantee
My hysteroscopy was in September. It was a laporoscopy and DnC with removal of my left tube. Quite intense. This one wont be like that.............hopefully! They will try to get them to 5 days before freezing, but yeah depends on number and quality. I'm suprised there are so many, but now worried the quality wont be so good. Saw one at 25mm today. Not sure if that's good. It was the largest. Most are at 22/23 with one still slowly plodding along at 16.
Pick-up and polyp removal at 10:30 Monday morning. Funny tat I may not have needed ivf, but without ivf I would not have known about this silly polyp! So I did need ivf! Can you tell my mind has had it?
Bet your excited about tomorrow? Good luck! Sending big fat juicy embies vibes xx
-
Williever - man that just blows about your polyp. Could your FS give you any indication of how long it has possible been there? Sounds like you have a fantastic batch of follies cooking, hopefully the 16mm will have caught up by Monday. And FX they fertilise like little rabbits so that you have a great batch for the freezer. Sending big hugs hun, this game is sucky enough without curveballs like this thrown in amongst it, though I suppose it si one good thing that the ployp can be removed during EPU, rather than having to go back in later. Haha, each cycle, I have these big plans that it will just be between DH and I - never lasts and before long, everyone knows!! Probably doesn't help that I am such a sook on meds and cry at anything.
N2L - I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree that one embie SUCKS BIG KNOBS!!!!!! However, hoping that when you start your next stim cycle, you will have loads of wee ones to choose from :)
Jayejaye - GOOD LUCK for today and FX you have lots of lovely eggies as a result
Tantee - have you caved and poas yet? Keep positive hun, no fat lady singing yet
Well, I am officially in the 2ww - YAY!!!!! We transferred our little 2 day embie yesterday, a little earlier than I would've liked but I'd rather transfer early than have nothing to put back. Apparently it is a good quality one so atm, I am feeling quite calm and hanging onto that. DH is being so sweet and talking away to it all the time and today, I had to go to town (about an hour away) to go to the market to get groceries and he insisted on coming too to carry everything. Awwwww, he can be such a sweetie when he wants to be! I will carry on with acupuncture for the next week or two and and scoffing down pineapple like mad - hell, if someone told me that walking round with toilet paper in my ears would increase the chance of it sticking, I'd do it!!!!!!
Anywho, thanks again for all the well wishes and sending out loads and loads of sticky vibes and good egg/embie growing vibes :)

Hi girls,
Just a quick one from me. I am exhausted and off to bed, and its only 8pm. Egg pick up went well, 17 eggs altogether, very excited. For the first time ever i felt really sick after it all, needed lots of anti nausea drugs, and my heart was going very slow, (45 bpm) so they had to give me something for that as well. Not sure why i had such a reaction this time. They said maybe because there was more eggs than last time it takes more of a toll.
Anyway, sorry for the me post, but i am just about to fall into bed.
Hope everyone else is well, mwah. J.

Wow jayejaye 17!!! have a good rest and FX for your little ones xxx
-
Hi girls
Melissa big congrats on entering the 2ww fingers crossed this little one is it and sticks, hopefully i will be joining you by the end of next week x
Jayejaye thats wonderful news get some rest and sending lots of babydust to your little eggs for fertilisation x
Williever goodluck for monday i will be having mine about the same time, sucks about the polyp but hopefully you get some good little eggies and they fertilise nicely for you too x
Tantee hang in there it is such a horrible wait, stay positive and sending you lots of sticky vibes x
AFM well i have had another hurdle thrown my way i had a NK cell test done beginning of the month just to tick all the boxes and make sure i didnt have it before spending another year trying and yep i have some slightly elevated NK cells so i am now on 30g prednisone a day i already feel like im bloated and have put on 10 kilos in a year and now have to up my steroid dose.. I know it is all for a good cause but sometimes i feel very deflated on top of my hubbie being sterile and using donor sperm and then finding i too have a chromosonal problem which affects fertility to then this, lucky i am a fighter but sometimes it gets a little hard to stay positive when the odds are so stacked against you. At least we found out before transfer so we can hopefully treat the problem and give our little embies a chance to implant and not m/c.
Had a scan done today so on the bright side there are 11 follies there all good sized so epu at 10.45 mon morning. Trigger tonight and relax and enjoy tomorrow ready for monday.
Have a nice weekend everyone
xx
