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!
Sorry I have been missing in action, RL got in the way and I didnt receive and update that there were new messages.
trueblue ouch to the calf bitting you, I have been tearing up at the oddest things.
trubabe we have frenchie and I know those pants wont stop a male who wants to get to a female who is on heat. How cute to have puppies though. Its hard having a sick parent at a time like this. Well no time is great. My mum is quite sick to (heart) and need to see a cardiologist on Friday.
Terry fingers crossed for the natural.
Dreams into reality wow you have been very strick, there is no way I could give up my latte.
porsche I dont miss the sniffing, hope it doesnt mess you around like it does to me.
loops12 if you find a magic way to save money or a money tree please let us all know. Hope time moves fast towards your next cycle.
aurian I am fairly new too, welcome.
wantaminime, how did your results go. Sorry being new I cant help with your q's.
saraz wow you had your transfer mine is tomorrow. How cool you got to see before the transfer, I hope I get to see mine. i've told a couple of people but not sure what to do after the tww. When I had C I didnt share the news to after 12 weeks.
mindhugs GBH's to you. I really hope the little embie has stuck. Not everyone has the money to go to bali, they should be a bit more supportive.
I have my transfer tomorrow at 1120. Not sure how many have made it to day 5 will find out tomorrow.
Has anyone else felt real crampy the day before a transfer, it started this afternoon and hasnt really passed.
I haven't been around much lately - have been trying to pretend this all isn't happening I guess.
Mindhugs - good luck - when's your BT? No symptoms doesn't mean no baby - there have been so many people in the tww thread who've had none and gotten their bfp's.
Saraz - I only told my parents at first (with DS), then my bro and SIL found out, but they were cool with it. This time around is taking a lot longer and DH seems to be talking about it with a lot more people. I don't mention it to anyone because of how emotional it is - I like to pretend that all is fine, but I guess that him talking about it helps to normalise it - if that makes any sense?? What I have also found this time is that it makes pregnant people feel a bit awkward. F**k 'em though I say - if the worst I make them feel is a little bit awkward it's nothing compared to the utter jealousy I feel. Oooh, I'm sounding a bit bitter, sorry
Trishy - hope all goes well tomorrow.
Hi to everyone else - I'm so behind on where everyone is up to
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.
