LT TTC & Assisted Conception July-Aug 2010

OMG I think mine is the same thing Porsche.

I didnt get any bruise on the first day, and then I put it in the fridge and on the second day and today I have bruised quite badly.

Maybe it is because the needles are cold?

Hi Amy

Well that confirms it for me. I def think it is because the needle was cold. Lesson learned lol.

Hey ladies! Just want to say good luck to everyone who is about to go through transfer or egg pick up! Let us know how you go! I'm on the pill at the mo and due to start my course of Synarel next week! According to the nurse, if all goes to plan I should be doing my egg pick up and transfer in the first week of Sept!!!:clap: I cannot wait! How did you ladies get through the anxious waiting time!?? Also, anyone else doing accupuncture through their cycle? I have been doing it for th last couple of weeks and love it! I feel so good afterwards and it helps me sleep too. Anyway, have a great week end ladies, talk soon xx :dance:

Hey girls, when i had my stim cycle i was black and blue all over my lower stomach, some nights there was no bruising and others a bruise came up instantly! i was told its when you hit veins or blood vessles cause there is no knowing where they are but its very normal but it dosn't look very nice hey :) I look forward to seeing you girls in the TWW forum. Iv come down with the cold and im so p*#*ed off, i seem to get sick EVERY cycle its very frustrating! im just hoping it will be all gone by transfer next week!!! Goodluck to all xx

I only got nasty bruises when i hit a vein and it hurt more so i tried to aim for spots where i couldnt see any veins.

Hi everyone
I've just started the synarel for my third attempt... isn't it lovely:rolleyes:

Hi Kass,

I dont think its too bad but I think im just weird hahaha.

Goodluck with your cycle. Fingers crossed we'll both be in belly buddies this time next week.

- hi danni_girl,
yeh im doing acupuncture have done since i started my transfers so in about feb this year, i acutally dont ever feel any different i fell preg on my 4th transfer (am 6 weeks atm), and she wants me to go every week for pregnancy acupuncture until week 12 then every 2 weeks, until 3rd trimester then back to every week but i have to tell you thinking of pulling the pin on it in at the 12th week i have had enough of it and its $60 a week that could be better spent on baby shopping:clap:, so thats my view on dont get me wrong i think its helped me enormously but over it now.

thanks Amy - good luck to you too!

Hi girls,

I think the titles sums up how im feeling right now.

I went and had my bloods done this morning. Rang for the results at 4pm and she said that there has been no change at all in my Estrogen levels :rolleyes:

IM so annoyed because when we originally went through my medication they put me on 100mg of Peugeon and I said oh that seems really low compared to what the other girls I know are on. The doc said that because Im so young they didnt want me to overstimulate. When I rang today they said oh your not progressing we have to double your dose to 200mg!!!

This now means that egg pickup prob wont be on saturday and DH is FIFO so he has organised 2 weeks off work :shakehead: ggrrrrr!!!!

Has anyone had the same situation and still gone ahead and not had the cycle cancelled? Im so scared they will and it will shatter DH :rolleyes:

Amy I know your frustrate but try to relax. Your cycle should still go ahead and just remeber that they always start off low and then increase as they really don't know how our bodies will react. When they make decisons when you first start the only thing they can base it on is past experiences with others in same ages groups etc. It will be fine. As for DH taking leave to be there etc unfortunately this process is something that we cannot pinpoint exactly how we want it to a certain degree we know roughly when things should happen but our bodies do different things each time. I know its the first cycle and hopefully it will be your last but based on expereince and having read what others are going through you are doing ok. Stay postive and try not to stress

To the girls injecting I think it may have more to do with hitting a vein when you bruise. I have 2 burises from blood tests taken by nurses who were struggling with my vains. I think that putting the needles in the fridge though makes it hurt a little more cause they are cold.


Porsche do you have a pickup date yet or has it happened?

How is everyone else travelling

I finally ovulated and am going in for my FET tomorrow. Managed to take the rest of the week off and work from home so here's hoping that this one is it for me.

Hi Terry,

Thanks for your advice. Its not a case of me just wanting DH home to be by my side. He has to have his sperm aspirated and they arent sure if they are going to be able to get any that is even usable. The dont want to freeze it, they want to use it fresh and he cant take anymore leave this year from work. I think its normal for everyone to go through this not just me. Dont get me wrong im sure the other woman who have been through 10 and 11 times are going through far worse than me, but it feels like ive been going through all this for nothing. Ive worked the last 11 days straight and feel lie utter crap atm.

Hi Lovely Ladies
Well Im back from work summit and weekend in Melb and trying to get back into the swing on norm and read up on all these threads LOL. Warnambool and the Great Ocean Rd was cold but very good. Kept my mind off TTC for most of it which was good apart from being asked I think about 3 times, "so do you have any kids"? That's the only trouble with things like that. Then the ball on the weekend went really well - 370 people our biggest turnout yet and a Collingwood signed Jersey went for $2600. Just one of the many auction items. So hopefully lots of money raised for kidney disease research in kids.

Mindhugs ~ So sorry hun :hug: - really sucks to put it mildly. I really admire your strength hun xo. Keep trying and I'll be :pray: for you both. You are so deserving and you will make a fantastic mother.

Tantee ~ Congrats hun, very :happyforyou: All the best for the next 9 or so months.

Danni-girl ~ Hi and welcome. Hope your stay in here is short. Wishing you all the best.

I'll catch up with everyone over the next couple of days but for now all the best with the jabbing, sniffing, waiting etc. Babydust and FX for us all!
