Trubabe ~ Ohh puppies are so cute. LOL - we had the same thing happen last time we got puppies - big accident but they are just so cute and fun its hard to be upset that it has happened, its exciting.
Hope your mums chemo works well and she gets into remission soon
Terry ~ Good luck with the natural cycle hun, you get a nice lil miracle!
DreamsIR ~ Thanks for understanding hun and for the hugs, means a lot. Very excited for you! And good luck with your new job. Geez you guys are good - we've been bad with alcohol and caffeine lately - we'll have to take a leaf out of your book.
Porche ~ GL with the sniffing etc and hope AF comes on time. Excited for you to, FX!
Hi all. Sending lots of and
AFM ~ Just hoping time goes quick so we can do another IVF soon and that we can save lots ready for it.
I just wanted to pop into the thread and introduce myself, I'm an IVF newbie who has been hanging around on BB for 2.5 years (though I lurk more than post!). I'm currently on a down-reg cycle and have my BT and ultrasound on Wednesday which hopefully gives me the all-clear to start FSH on Thursday,
This has been a long time coming for me (especially dealing with the fact that conceiving naturally hadn't happened for DH and I), so while I'm trying no to pin all my hopes on IVF being successful at some point in the future, I'm also trying to remain upbeat and positive too... easier said than done at times! It means a lot to me to find a place where other people can relate to the struggle that infertility can take at times.
Loops - I hear exactly what your saying and I too am sick of it. Especially form my MIL. I get the hints etc about giving them a grandchild seeing as my SIL has now given them 2. Gosh it must be hard being perfect living a perfect life.
Kass - I have everything Xed for you. Hard as it seems try to relax over the next 2 Weeks.
Trishy - 5 eggs is great. How are they coming along???
Terry - Enjoy your break. Relax and have some fun BD you never know what might happen.
Dreams into Reality - GL with your new job. And August isn't that far away.
AFM - Things aren't going as wonderfully as I had hoped. As mentioned earlier my estrogen was being sluggish and tho it picked up a bit it was still low enough to double my puregon on Saturday. Had U/S this morning and the FS could find only 2 half decent follies. 1@ 1.7 and 1 @ 1.6.
He said my Endo was a D. Not sure what that means but he followed it up by saying it was good.
So from what the FS was saying this morning is that I am not going to get any better this cycle and he is happy enough to continue on those two follies if I am depending on the results of the BT. I replied with a "well you only really need one good one" he looked at me like I was an idiot.
Well maybe I am a idiot but am feeling a bit flat as he did not sound all that confident, I needed to pick myself up and feel like it was all going to be ok. You know how it goes fake it til you make it. We will see what is said this arvo when I call for my results.
So ladies can anyone tell me if they know of success with little follies and only 2.
Hey now ladies what's all this farm talk, I am jealous I live in a flat and don't even have a garden or a pet (I wish!).
Trishy - so exciting that you got 5, rest up and hope it all goes really well for wednesday!
Aurian - welcome, I'm a newbie too but found this place really helpful - gives me a time & place to do my obsessing with ppl who understand!
Wantanime - sorry I don't know much about egg size but I guess your doc would - if it were me and doc is really doubtful I think I might be considering a fresh start and another cycle just to take a bit of stress off (but I'm not a hardened stress-warrior like some of the ppl here!).
Terry - hope this is the month, have some fun au naturelle!! re embarrassing sedation effects, DH has now revealed that I was also waving and saying hi to all the nurses in the middle of my opu! Ha! No memory of this either of course.
DiR - did you tell your new employer anything about ivf situation?
porsche - good luck, is it a FET or a stim cycle you're starting?
Kass - any tips on how to relax!?!? I am so overexcited & I admit 10% scared!
AFM, had my transfer today - can't quite believe it! Our 3 embies made it to excellent blastocysts, so we are really pleased. We got to see the one they transferred, so cool, I wasn't expecting that. I nearly cried! Having never been pregnant I feel quite strange walking around knowing it's there & just praying like crazy it will attach.
Marie, Loops etc - I hear ya. I think it's pretty rare for people to know how to be sensitive let alone supportive. We have felt pressured enough over the years by ppl who assumed that we were not trying and putting it off and must need a bit of a reminding about it (! like I'm gonna go oh right, kids, forgot all about that, thanks I'll go and have me some now). Just going to a FS for the first time was pretty emotional, facing all those tests and the possibility that it'd never work out for us, so at first we didn't want to tell anyone about starting ivf. Eventually we decided that my mum would be really hurt if I didn't, so I have kept her in the loop with every detail, and also told my bro and SIL who have been thru ivf themselves. But that was it.
Then my latest stress: yesterday I found out my stepdad accidentally blabbed it to my stepsister and her partner and who knows who else knows now, they are all wanting to know how it's gone. When others I'm closer to don't even know. I'm having dinner with stepsis tomorrow and I so don't feel like talking about it (esp since she has 2 babies no troubles).
I mean stepsis didn't tell me till 12 weeks in about her 2 pregnancies so why shd ivf be any different? If something goes wrong I don't want to have to deal with people hassling me for updates and trying to be understanding when they just can't understand. But then others might resent not having been told. How did you guys decide who to tell? How many did you tell? Once they do know how can I say nicely, 'don't expect any updates for 3 months'??
Saraz - I really know how that feels. We have only told our parents. We've been at IVF for 2 years now. No one knows why we seem to be constantly broke. Also we have a situation where my B-inlaw and wife want us all to go to Bali for Father-inlaw's 70th. We of course are broke and also will be doing IVF so said no. Well - they are highly offended and taking it personally that we don't want to spend time with them............aaaargh!
Wanta -my Endo is an A+ which means pretty severe. I still fell pregnant early this year before they cleaned me out again. It was a natural FET. So don't let that worry you.
AFM - over in the TWW, things are not looking good for me. NO SYMPTOMS AT ALL. Compared to when I fell in Feb, this is like nothing at all...............I'll be super surprised if my embie has attached at all. We had 5 good eggs going to blastie still on day of transfer and then overnight (after transfer) they only got 1 left that was good enough to freeze. I wish they had put them back and frozen at 3 days. I might have more to use. Better inside than in the incubators!!!
Mindhugs - family can be so frustrating! Even if they don't know about the IVF they should still be able to accept that a birthday party in Bali may be too expensive for you!
Saraz - we've told as few people as possible. We ended up telling M/FIL and B/SIL about 6 months in after I got a bit too upset when SIL announced she was pg. None of my family know. Like you I don't want to be constantly updating people. I also don't want sympathy or unhelpful advice!
Aurian - welcome and good luck!
Out of time for more persies but I hope everyone is going well!
