Hi Tei Sorry to see you back in here. I'm sorry to be back in here too. Are you going for another Stim cycle in August? I have our FS appointment on the 28th July to try again although at the moment it feels like .
I've had the worst AF cramps the past few days. Last night they came back and are still there this morning. More like a burning, scraping feeling. I was thinking it was the progesterone level dropping.
Hi girls,
I am in a new FET cycle, after my last one was cancelled.
HB and Tei-Sorry you two are back in here, it seems like we will never get out doesn't it?
I am taking letrezole ( like clomid) and I think it is making me crazy like clomid used to, I have a scan on Friday to see if I am close to Oing, I feel like I will be soon and I am only CD5!! Lots of pain in my left ovary, hopefully we will catch it this time but i might do OPKs just to be sure. Feeling quite down about everything at the moment but hopefully its just the medication talking and I will perk up soon, cos at the moment I am thinking of throwing in the towel with ivf.
Well thats my winge for the day
Hi Ladies
A new thread - a fresh start for us all!
Tei and HB ~
Hope next goes are the ones for you both!!
Saffy ~ Goodluck for Friday, hope you get a fantastic result and it cheers you up and gives you confidence again! xo
Hope everyone else is well
AFM ~ just hoping like mad we get another natural BFP - especially because the closer we get to August when we have to pay the pre-payment for IVF the more depressed and worried I get because I dont think we are going to have the money in time.
Hiya
Just a quick one from me as I am lying on a hospital bed using my phone. I have been here with DD since Sunday. She has acute cellulitis from a staph infection. Ironically (as it is a small hospital) we are in the maternity ward!! Lots and lots of newborns around!! CD 13 so hoping to get some time at home this arvo for a quick bd!!! Aahhh the romance of it!!
Hope all are well!
It's been a while since i've been on here...i recognise a few of you... Loops, Saffy..hello again. (i wish you weren't here though IYKWIM)
I'm going into yet another ivf cycle with all the extra drugs I can find! I'm now also trying Intralipids for NK cells...also growth hormone and luveris thrown in!! I have another scan tomorrow and possibly going into egg collection on friday, but yet again only a few follicles there.
Looking forward to sharing everyone's good news over the next few months...power of positive thinking...bring it on!!
N2L ~ ohh I hope your DD is ok and that you make it back for a good BD Try and have fun and GL!
Yogi Bear ~ welcome back but wish you didnt have to be IYKWIM Wishing you all the best with this cycle, ill be for lots of big juicy follies for you! GL
Hey quick question. So EPU was Friday - 18 follies drained, loads of little ones left. Yesterday and today, have noticed crampy twinging round my tummybutton/ovaries. Feeling quite full and have put on 2.5 - 3kg since Fri. Do I need to do anything or just see how I feel?
GL Saffy with your FET, I hope this will be the one that gets you over the line. You are NOT going crazy but the multitude of meds would certainly make you feel like you are! Hang in there chick.
Fingers crossed Loops for a natural BFP so you can spend all those $$$'s on much more fun stuff.
Yogi, Welcome back. You are amazingly strong and resilient and I really wish you the world of success.
Melissa, from what I understand, the follies can continue to produce the estrogen which in turn can raise your levels. I would contact your clinic, and perhaps get them to do a blood test to check your estrogen and be on the lookout for OHSS as that is quite a dramatic increase over a couple of days. I am no expert and this may be wrong, but you had such a crazy cycle and outcome, I would not rule anything out and it's probably best to err on the side of caution. I hope you start to feel a little better soon xox
N2L - You must be worried sick about your little one. I hope your DD is on the mend. I can imagine that the stress of it all does not make for bd'ing with wild abandon..lol (as if ltttc doesn't help kill the passion on it's own sometimes).
Happybaby - are you starting to feel more yourself now. Hope all is well.
Hi to all you other girls
AFM - taking off for a day or two of sightseeing. Nice to get away and not think about ttc. Waiting on a few BT's to come back in regard to general health and will then try to sort out how I feel about when/if to start another FET.
I am just rudely butting in here after having a bit of a stalk. Just wanted to say hi and good luck to Loops and Yogi and some of the other names I recognise - tantee, saffy (i'm sure you don't remember me, but I think about you). Sending you big hugs and best wishes girls xoxoxox
Mel ~ hope you're feeling better today, I'm a bit confused though - did they collect 18 eggs?
Tantee ~ thanks hun! Enjoy your break and I hope you get fantastic results. Take care
Kaybee ~ good to see you, thanks for your wishes! Hugs. Hows everything with you, you are nearly due arent you? All the best!
AFM ~ I had some pink streaks yesterday arvo - hoping its implantation- then my temp this morning was 37.2 very high for the morning but that also could be due to still being a bit fluey, certainly not getting hopes up too much just yet. Although considering I believe I O'd only a few days ago it would be way to early for AF to be here. So yeh I'm quietly confident - perhaps its just our time at the moment. Just need one to eventually stick,
loops-goodluck chick I hope its a sticky one for you too ( when will you poas?) xx
kaybee- I remember you of course! How are you, thanks for stalking us lol xx
tantee- hope all is ok with the bt and enjoy not thinking about ttc ( if only!!)
melissa-has your tummy settled down??
hi yogi- wow, thats great, I know someone who got her 1st bfp ( after a long time) when she used intralipids ( i think she had a misc unfortunately but she was stoked to get the bfp) Any joy with the scan?
N2L- is your DD better? and more to the point did you catch the egg??
happybaby- how areyou??
afm- crossing my fingers for my scan tomorrow, but hopeful I am on track as have had ewcm start, and double checking w opks, they aregetting darker but not there yet thank god. I am feeling much happier- amazing what retail therapy, a massage, pedicure and 3 days off work will do for a girl lol!!
quick update from me, scan went well today- 3 good sized follies and lining 7mm ( I'm only cd9) so have had a blood test to look for LH surge and will have BT over the weekend until we get it, I'm sure it will be tomorrow or Sunday FX.
Dh has a boys trip organised for next week and he will be away for my transfer, which he is really, really disappointed about, it doen't bother me too much, mum can take me but I am conscious that men can feel left out as it is, so its a shame he won't be able to be there.
Have a great weekend everyone, I probably won't get back on cos I will be busy with work, but babydust for all your lovely ladies xxx
Hey Saffy, great to hear all is on track for your transfer...got everything crossed for you
Loops, implantation bleeding maybe, it would be so great for you to get another natural preg again....something i can only ever dream of!!
Kaybee, Hello hun how are you going? Thanks for popping in...i often think of you all on the preg thread and sometimes stalk to see how you are all going with your big bellys!! I hope to join you again one day.
tantee, are you on holidays now? You deserve to rest up and enjoy life, this journey is so damn hard and its nice to step back and feel 'normal' again before psyching up to facing it all again...take your time, hugs to you
Melissa, hope you are ok?
nothing2lose, sorry to hear about your DD, i hope she is ok and out of hospital now?
Well i think i'm all set for pick up on monday, looks like only about 3 or 4 follicles, same ole story for me though. I just hope all the extra goodies have done their magic and they are super dooper eggs in there!! As hard as it is for me to remain hopeful after all i've been through, i think i am feeling the slightest glimmer in my waters! I am praying that the intralipids is what i need to get me over the line finally, but at least now i can say i've tried EVERYTHING i can. We have decided that if this cycle is negative we will do one more cycle with all the new drugs again but if i m/c again then that will be the end. Pressure is on!
AFM ~ My temp hasnt been high at all but I have had few cramps and chirn of nauseousness - so I am still remaining a little hopeful. Also been *cough* a little constipated and boobs are getting sore now, although that could be AF coming. Have had extra CM too. Hard to know!!
Saff ~ all the best for your scan, for lots of juicy follies! Sorry DH can't be at your transfer but us tuff ladies can do it on our own too ! Have a good weekend too.
Yogi ~ thanks hun, for lots of juicy follies for you also and really hope its a BFP at the end - you deserve it!
