Well we had our scan this morning and it showed about 6 follies. I'm a little disappointed because they may not all be mature at EPU and then we have to contend with fertilization rates and possibly lose some there as well. I was hoping there would be a little more there.
We are planing on EPU on Monday with another scan this Saturday to see how they are maturing. My lining is good and up to the required thickness. We've also upped my dose of puregon.
Kaybee ~ You are right hun, thanks heaps. Motherley is good hun xoxo Im sorry the HCG is not dropping - a bit frustrating but you are nearly there - wont be long until you are on another cycle, GL.
Coll ~ Good work hun, stay well!
Porche ~ Might have to buy online too, ta. Good luck hun, 6 is pretty good because you still have time for more to grow. FX they do or if not that those 6 are really great quality.

Hey everyone - well it certainly is very busy in here at the moment. Seemed so quiet a week ago?
Well I am nervously waiting for my miscarriage to happen. I found out at my 6.5 week scan last week that the heart was very weak, although we could see it blinking. I was so sick on the weekend and now most of my pregnancy symptoms have dropped right off. Was looking so good too! We've done a lot of crying and lost sleep. This never gets any easier. We have decided to further investigate why my embies are not lasting past 6.5 weeks. Is it the blasties themselves? Is it my uterus lining or my blood? I have made contact with that immunology fertility specialist in Sydney and am also going to see a General Physician of internal medicine to see what else that might turn up. 1 x frozen embie left and we are all out of cash and emotions. I feel like I was born to be a mum and DH born to be a dad. We are both so good with kids, but our ages are getting away from us. No longer legible for adoption, I suppose one other option would be surrogacy, also not an easy road to travel.
Aaargh - I feel so desperate and want answers. I met a girl the other day who was waxing me, she had quite bad cancer at any early age and lost her uterus during it all. Even though she still has ovaries any fertility drugs will awaken her cancer again, so she can't naturally have kids. Also she goes to the back of the adoption list because of her past illness. Such a beautiful girl - sometimes you have to ask "why". Why are there druggies out there falling pregnant, or some people who just don't want kids falling pregnant? God certainly does work in mysterious ways.
Coming in here always picks me up again and gives me hope. Because it can happen.
Coll - huge congrats for a healthy pregnancy.
Girls - thanks for listening to my whining - I needed to talk.
Goodluck to all who are currently cycling xxxxxxxx
Firstly when I said yay for AFs I meant for those who were waiting to get started. zzzzzzzzzzzz Brain deprived of sleep and not making much sense.
wantaminime hows things going with you, where are you at?
Porsche hopefully things have progressed by your Scan on Sat and they have all grown to a lovely size. Fx'd for your EPU on Monday.
Loops hope things went well with the summit
mindhugs I sometime wonder and q's the world about those sort of things too. I sometimes wonder why I always seem to have the hard road not just in pregnancy, but heaps of things like even meeting the right person. BUt I got there in the end and now have a wonderful man. I have really tried now to address each path as it comes. Ok so I take the hard road full of pot holes and speed bumps. But you can get over speed bumps and you can walk around pot holes. So if there is a problem I try to mitigate it. I am not saying this is easy. It can be very tiring and mental challenging. For example last cycle I seemed to get a stomach bug just before EPU and it lasted post transfer. To try and avoid this happening this time I am taking a pro botic. Any way this is just a little insight on how I try to stay positive. You are doing the right thing by investigating things, so you are still being positive toward working to your miricle baby. (GBH's)
Tantee congratulations on your BFP so excited for you. Yay.
Colli it suxs that IVF is so expensive and out of reach of so many deserving people. I was so annoyed when the government restricted the amount we get back, its like they are playing god sometimes with their stupid policies. Include the dump policy in Melb which requires police checks and dhs checks, WT. OK I will get off my high horse.
Welcome Danni girl, looking forward to sharing your journey to a BFP.
oneday86 goodluck for the transfer, Fx'd it snugs in nice and tight.
ATM I stopped the pill today, had break through bleed past 3 days, so AF should be in full force soon.
gday girls just a quick question am still tender around my ovaries has anyone else had this after having had iui on 900iu puregon I thought that soreness whould have been gone by now since having had af it was a very light one though
BTW our first lamb for the season was born two days ago a little ewe who will be adding to our breeding ewes I names her cleo
Hi all,
Thanks for asking after me Trishy. I am doing ok. Just chilling out. My levels are returning to normal and I have an appointment with the FS on the 16th August. I was offered an appointment sooner but really wanted a break for a little while even if it is only for a couple of weeks. I want this month to be completly without drugs and the like.
I am thinking of everyone. Just lurking for a bit and trying to have a slightly normal frame of mind for a bit.
Good luck to everyone with all the pill popping, injection, EPU, Transfers etc.
Just thought id pop in and say hi. I thought it must have been super quiet in here because I havent had a notification to say that somone had replied...stupid computer
Tantee - Congratulations honey!!! Thats fantastic and gives us all hope that we will be getting one soon as well.
Mindhugs - So sorry to hear about your miscarriage love, I cant even begin to imagine what your are going through
Trishy - As Porsche said - fingers crossed AF come quick for you.
Danni - Welcome to the group!!!
One day - Looks as though we will be in the tww together. At this stage our Egg Retrieval will be on 14th Aug if all goes to plan.
Hi to all you other lovely ladies!!!
AFM - Today is day 2 of my injections. To my suprise they actually dont hurt!!! I ended up with a wicked bruise this morning and I dont even know how!!! I go for my first blood test on Monday and my first ultrasound (AKA dildocam) will most likely be on Tuesday.
My Mum and Dad have just got back from a holiday to New Zealand. She bought my a gorgeous bottle of champers back and said we will open it and celebrate when we get good news. She said she has a feeling we will be successful and her money is on twin girls....arrgghhh hahaha!!!
Amy - I have a wicked bruise on my belly as well from injecting. I think it was caused by having the needle in the fridge because I didn't do anything differently. It's a big purple one about the size of a 20 cent peice lol. That's DH fault for putting the needle in the fridge hehehe
Ok I went missing again, but my daughter has been really sick. 5 GP's and the ER and we have finally sort of got it sorted.
Ok I am typing as I read, so I may get answers as I read further.
Trueblue, check with the nurses or doc about the pain. Put your mind to easy.
wantaminime hope your getting a chance to relax and things are as normal as possible.
JBM Hi, Oct will be here before you know it
amy jellybean if your ticker is right two days to epu good luck
porsche ouch your bruise sounds nasty
danni girl I do accupunture and agree it helps to relax me, I have just tried to take each stage a step at a time. The 2ww was the worse part of the whole process for me.
oneday86 I hear you about being sick, I got a stomach bug last time so have been taking a probotic this time only to get a cold. Have just started the vit c and hope it doesnt get worse. Maybe start popping vit c
hows things going ferrals and colls
Kass I HATE the spray, so glad I didnt have to use it this time.
Amy it will still go ahead, but so hard to plan around. My DP is meant to go away for work from sun week for 3 days but my EPU may either be late next week or early next week. We have to be flexible. Every stage depends on how our bodies respond. Its hard especially in your hubbies case, can he say something to work that he was taking leave to be with you for a medical proceedure and they may need to move surgery. If his work can help then he maybe able to take the leave a bit later than planned
Fx'd terry this is the one
Welcome back loops sound like the summit went really well
porsche thats fantastic 15 yay and 9 embies wow. Good luck with transfer
oneday86 Fx's and sending you lots of babydust
kass when do you start your injections

ATM I started injections yesterday, have a scan on Monday so just cruzing.
GL with this next go - hoping it is a much better cycle than your last one hun, 
for you hun. Im sure I'll have a great break thanks - looking forward to it - i head off very soon.
