Thanks everyone for being so lovely - such a week! Just couldn't help dropping in to say we did get our ray of sunshine - POAS at the GP today was a BFP!!! so thankful, confused, elated, trying not to get my hopes up, worried about DH's tumor, everything all at once! But mainly astonished and excited!! This is the first BFP ever that we know of so we are just so relieved that it's even possible for us especially since this might have been our last chance. Of course still waiting on a proper BT to see if the levels are okay.
Trueblue that's an amazing story, we'll definitely be looking in to getting some sperm frozen it might already be too late though - just incredible timing that we got this cycle in before DH's levels took a turn for the worse.
Terry - looks like you're right about stress I don't know how this has managed to go well considering!!
Tantee - welcome back, hope it's a short stay this time!
Kaybee, thanks for being always a great source of support & info.
Mum2be - thanks for your thoughts on who to tell, they were really interesting. We *might* tell a couple of our favourite close friends if the BT looks ok next week just so we have some support. That's who we WANT to tell, on top of the compulsory family news-mongers who always manage to say the wrong thing who I am only really telling b/c they would be angry if I didn't! :rolleyes:
Trubabe - sounds like you probably know exactly how I'm feeling... Happy-hopeful-sad-worried. Even if anything happens to have DH I'll always want to have a part of him in his children and would still have my FET's down the track.
Porsche - thanks for your kind words. Not long to wait for you I hope.
Loops sounds like a promising month, good luck!!

Oh Saraz im so thrilled for you, on your little miracle. Will have everything crossed that he/she snuggles in well for the next 9months. GL hun xo :clap:
Thanks for your wishes - I certainly wont be geting hopes up too much but we just can't give up :-)
-
OMG Saraz thats fantastic news.i had everything crossed you would get a BFP. yes its like your feelings are torn in different directions at the same time.im here if you ever need someone to talk to :D
-
meant to say good luck to you too Loops.i hope you get a natural BFP
AFM-spotting finally stopped.Have an appointment at Natural fertility service Aug 12th (2 days before my bday).they said hopefully giving me some natural progesterone will help get my cycle more regular and stop the spotting.Saw gp this afternoon to get champix to kick my smoing habit.and hopefully once i do i can get DP too and hopefully his swimmers will start improving too.ive been setting up the pen and washing the dogs blankets getting ready for late next weekish.Lily doesnt seem too keen on nesting there even though its where she camped out for weeks with her last litter of puppies
-
Hey Ladies,
Sara - Yay!!! Woohoo!!! Breathe on me so I can catch it too :clap: When's your 'official' BT?
Trubabe - Surely your dog's puppies will do something to your hormones and get things happening for you. Good luck with the champix - I want to get DH onto it, but don't want to push. Let us know how it goes.
Loops - how unreal would it be to fall this month - not that you're trying or thinking about it (sure!!). Thanks for your hugs.
Mum-2-be - :hug::comfort::hug::comfort: Sorry sista. It sucks. That's all I can say - it just sucks. (Hope we can be cycle buddies next time round)
I saw FS the other day and he said not to do a D&C. So now I just have to wait till hcg drops below 5. Last time it took a couple of months so I am VERY frustrated at the moment.... and taking it out on everyone :lol:
Have a dilemma (should ask the TTC after MC group too) - got a thing on saturday night with a bunch of friends, most of who are pregnant. My bro and SIL (who are due when my last pg would have been due) will be there, one couple have only just announced and I suspect one lot are going to announce on saturday - so pg will be a very hot topic as will questions regarding my next one. Don't know whether to go. Don't want to sit home feeling sorry for myself for the rest of my life, but if going means feeling like s##t for the next week then don't want to do it to myself. What would you do?
Sorry to everyone I've missed, just felt like being self-absorbed today :lol:
-
Kaybe: aw how frustrating couldn't you go see your GP and ask to have one down for your own mental health. I can't even imagine how that would feel I remember about a year ago my nanna when we first announced that we were trying and having trouble told me a story that only one or two people have ever heard I knew she had alot of miscarraiges and mum was their only sucess but one of the times she carried almost full term until the baby stopped moving one day she knew something was wrong and the doctors didn't believe her just brushed her off she miscarried and for about two weeks was passing one baby part at a time she said it was horrific I think she said that was the last one they tried they were then going to go adopt but were turned down cause they were too old.. broke my heart and I just wished that this miracle of science that has given us ladies that glimmer of hope through AC was available to her back then. SO I can only imagine how traumatic and sad it would be for you huge hugs and hope they put you out of your misery soon... were all here for you chick hopefuly next round they can fix this problem and you'll have the stickiest little bubba that'll go over the due date and be a stubborn little bugger
-
Congratulations Sarah!That's fantastic news!
-
Trubabe ~ thanks heaps hun, would be a very wonderful miracle. Im so pleased your spotting has stopped and that you now have some direction and things you can do to improve things, GL hun xo and GL with Lily - ohhh I love puppies.
Kaybee ~ thanks chicky - nuh not thinking about it at all ;). LOL it's so hard not too.
Sounds similar to my last m/c - I think if the HCG is already pretty low and it was a very early m/c they prefer to let things happen naturally rather than D&C. I guess they know what is best. But I know how frustrating it is hun, here for you. Hope the time goes quick. Everyone is different but I think Id go to the party. For one I love socialising (even though Im shy- sounds weird I know) and 2 I love the fact that my sis is pg and ill be an aunty again - so love seeing her with pg belly.
True - that's so sad about your nanna, must have been very hard back then. xoxo

Hi Ladies,
Just thought I would pop my head in again....its been ages since my last post.
I am still TTC. Just returned from an O/S holiday and I think I will need 3 months to detox after all the bad food and alcohol I consumed. Oh well, I really needed to let my hair down and not think about TTC.
Not sure when IVF#3 will be...need to consult the naturapath, acupuncturist, fertlility specialist, the stars, the moon etc....
On a serious note, it may be later in the year...I really need to get in the right frame of mind....

How wonderful to read of some good news in this thread at the moment (congratulations saraz!).
I've been trying to stay positive in the lead-up to my egg collection on Tuesday, I was told on Friday that I've got six good-sized follicles growing (I was expecting more, but my nurse said that's good for the first time around? *scratches head*) and have been feeling very tired today. Trying to listen to my body and take it easy. How have some of you gone with the amount of follicles seen on ultrasound versus the number of eggs you ended up with after collection?
-
AF arrived last night, so have to try and organise an appointment tomorrow with FS
Saraz hugs huni, what a lot to deal with. Hope things are going well for your tww to a BFP.
-
Hello lovely ladies,
I havent been in here for a little while. Ive had the flu/bronchitis/gastro - what a lovely combination!!!!
Congratulations Sarah!!! Thats fab news! Ive got everything crossed thats things go well for you and hubby :)
Trishy - Sorry to hear A/F has arrived, good luck with the FS!
Aurian - I hope you start feeling better soon, rest up. Remember you only need one for that healthy little baby!
Kaybee - I know what you mean about being around pregnant people all the time. I served a lady at work the other day with her 6 week old baby. I swear my ovaries were turning just looking at bubby.
Trubabe - Puppies....how exciting!!!!!!! I love puppies :)
AFM - Well im counting down the days! We have our appointment with the nursing coordinatior on 27th July (yay only 9 more days!). Cant wait to just get started. DH flies in from work on Thursday and I cant wait, ive really struggled with him away this swing, I miss him like crazy. We are heading down south with some friends on Friday to celebrate my birthday. Its going to be lovely to chill out and relax.
Aim x

Saraz how could I miss your good news yesterday. Congratulations
Had my blood test today and spoke to the nurse, she checked the computer and the doct has order an antogonist cycle next up. She said I could start straight away if I want but will call FS and just have a chat about the cramping etc
Anyone gone back to back, whats your thoughts?
-
the puppies havent arrived yet :( but the change in lily over night i think things may start in next few days.i think her belly has dropped since yesterday morning.and last night she was like the energizer bunny but this morning its like someone has disconnected her batteries lol.so hoping they are her by later this week or at latest early next week.Cmon lily i wanna see how many furbabies you have stashed in there lol.last litter she had five.this time when she sits down her teats are resting on her feet,i have nicknamed her daisy lol.will post pics either on here or leave a link for facebook when they arrive so you all can see the little wrinkly bundles :) BTW lily and bear are both shar peis (rolly dogs) in case anyone was wondering what sort of puppies we are expecting
-
Just a quick one from me. (sorry for the me post)
Had EPU today after only 9 days of stimming. We managed 5 'good looking' eggs. Just praying and hoping that all goes well and most fertilise. Will find out tomorrow.
EPU was a lot less traumatic than last time, so am feeling only a tiny bit sore and tired. (Had 12 eggs and slight OHSS last time) What a difference!
Saraz, Congratulations, here is hoping that that the next few months will be less stressful than you anticipate. My thoughts are with you.
Will be waiting with baited breath for 'the call' tomorrow.
Take care everyone.

Lily is in early labour now,so hopefully puppies will be here in next 48 hrs at most.she has a heap of signs and her temp has dropped half what it needs to since late yesterday arvo.we are both resting today ready for a long night either tonight or tomorrow night lol.Lily decided it would be a great idea to wake daddy at three am this morning and lay against him and if he moved his hand away from her she would tap it back with her paw,and breathing had changed some.this went on for about an hour before he woke me asking for torch so could take both dogs out for loo break.DP wakes me saying "baby wheres the torch i think shes getting close " lmao.when i texted him to say temp had started dropping he replies with does that mean shes nearly ready to drop??. lol bloody men have no idea sometimes.
