LT TTC and Assisted Conception July-August 2011

Thanks lovely ladies - really appreciate your support and all the stickyvibes xoxo

Not getting too excited yet - as Ive had a lot of negative signs the last couple of days - bad headaches, cramps, temp dropping and now I have a lot of mucous. Hoping its not AF mucous and AF symptoms.
BT result just came in - BHCG was 140 which is pretty low but I do have long cycles so she said dont panic. Find out in a day or so about P4.

Hope this is it loops :) I had awful cramps for the first couple of weeks - hopefully it's just settling in!

Thanks heaps Kass - I also hope bub is just settling in, FX'd! xo

Good luck Loops. How exciting that all your hard work & refusal to give up has paid off.

Thanks Mel and HB for the stickyvibes and support xoxo

How are you going HB? have you started your next stim? If so very best of luck!
Mel ~ not long now until your next stim :)

GL everyone! My advise to try is Pre-Seed, the last 2 natural BFP's we've had have been assisted by using it, I'm about 99% sure this is what has given us these positives. We just started using it when we got our 1st BFP!

Yay Loops!!!! That is fantastic!!!!!

Hi Ladies

Had a few days off after being an emotional wreck:shhh:

But I am doing much better. I have been in out of the Clinic getting scans and bloods done:)

I have a polyp (that was the growth they found on the scan last week) - but they are going to leave it until I have had my eggs harvested. YAY!!!!!!!

I will find out this arvo if and when they will be taking them. I had a scan and bloods this morning and it showed a few follies...........how many have eggs - who knows.

Just hoping there will be one beautiful one that will take. After all it only takes one???? Trying to be positive but not too much as I dont want to come crashing down if there is some other problem.

Its amazing the changes I feel within my body - hormones. My nipples - OMG sensitive. The nurse had a laugh at me as I couldnt contain myself laughing at how much they can stick out. I swear I could hang several coat hangers on them lol:)

Anyway will let you know how I go

Thanks for the support

Soon to be NOT stressedcrankydragon lmao:)

SCD - so great to hear you sounding happier and positive and that you get to do your harvest - excellent. So will they deal with the polyp after the harvest?

Loops - congratulations again - great news!! Everything crossed for you that all continues smoothly

AFM - we were supposed to be doing a FET tomorrow of our final frozen embies. We thawed two day one embies but both were only one or two cells at day 3 hence they won't be suitable for transfer and this cycle is all over for us. So it's back to another stim if we want to keep going. Came as a bit of a surprise as we had thawed quite a few embies previously and they had all made it to day 3 quite well - they then didn't make it quite to blast but all easily made it past day 3 so we were pretty disappointed that neither made it to day 3 this time.

So back to see our FS I guess to try and work out a plan for another stim cycle - aaagghhh! I was really hoping we wouldn't have to do this again - wishful thinking hey.

Hello ladies
Just wanted to pop in and congratulate Loops...WHOOHOO!!! Keeping everything crossed that this is your super sticky miracle :dance: Are you going to have another BT?

Kmond, sorry transfer couldn't go ahead for you this time. Best of luck with your next cycle. :crossfingers: As much as its a pain in the ar$e doing a full stim cycle i reckon fresh transfer is best as they always pick the best looking ones anyway...just my thoughts (but then again i hardly ever got any frozen embryos and never fell pg from them, or they didn't survive the thaw)

Hi to rae, happybaby and all the amazing strong women here....lots of babydust to you all :pink-babydust:

Yogi xx

SCD ~ phew! good news! when is your pickup? all the best!! hope there are lots of heathly eggies in there to pickup!!

KMond ~ That really bites! sorry to hear that *big hugs* stay strong. and when you do the stim you will get lots of fresh new eggies and thats all you will need =)

hi to everyone else!! Sorry I dont know who you are...i've been hiding this last cycle, and all the girls I knew have gotten themselves preggers!!! I am still here, but keeping where we are up to very low key. I've tried so very hard not to tell people where we are up to etc.. but know i have stalkers so dont want to put to much on here. (and they only stalk me cause they love me and i do love them doing it cause it means they know when and how and where i need the support etc the most.) but I love them just as much and want to give them a gift to of a surprise when we do get UTD.

So I am still here giving you all love and i'm thinking about you all!! and as soon as i know our results I will let you girls know first =)

Stay strong girls!!!!!!

xoxoxoxox

Thanks wonderful ladies!
All the very best wishes to you guys. I'm sorry I am trying to work out how to turn off the ticker in a particular thread.
I'm certainly by no means out of the woods yet and so I will be sticking around this thread if thats ok ladies, your support and care has really helped to get me through :) I'm pretty anxious about it all to be honest but I guess if its going to stick it will and if its not meant to be yet it wont.

SCD ~ GREAT NEWS your cycle can continue and its just a polyp they can remove. GL
KMond ~ very sorry hun :hug: I hope too you can do a fresh stim soon - all the best.
Tei ~ FX'd your BFP is just around the corner!

:grouphug:

Well I'm back in here for another go. I figured I would be able to fit in 2 more cycles before the end of the year - Oct and Dec. But I can't get an appointment with my FS until 12th Oct which is well after my next AF. So I'll only be doing one cycle in Nov.
We're going to try a couple of natural cycles in between. Loops let's hope we're lucky like you.
SCD hope you're cycle is going well. Teirae I can understand not wanting to tell anyone the details. I didn't tell me sister about this last cycle as I hate all the disappointment.
best of luck everyone
xx HB

HB ~ I hope all goes well for you in Nov or definitely earlier. I wish for a BFP for everyone in here, FX'd!!

My 2nd blood tests results were spot on so I am much more relaxed now :) I wouldnt have got this far without you all - thanks so much :grouphug:

Woo hoo! What a wonderful surprise to log in and see your news Loops!!!!!!!!!!!!! That persistent BD'ing has paid off!!!!!!!! When is your next BT/scan??? I am sooooooooooooooo excited for you chick!!!!

Happybaby - hope you are doing well. I am hoping for a cycle in Nov/Dec, maybe we will be in it together and sneak in a couple of BFP's before the year's end.

Teire - I hope that things are going to plan, please keep us posted. Fingers crossed for you.

N2L - are you still lurking??? I hope you are doing OK.

Yogi - how are you? I hope all is progressing smoothly for you xxx

Hi to all you other ladies and the newbies. I will try to catch up with where everyone is up to in the coming week or so.

Lots going on at the moment that I need to sort out to help decide on my TTC plans for the near future. Just trying to build up some momentum for a last push. I have 5 bubsicles and really want to optimise my chances with them as I don't think I have all that much gas in the tank to continue.... It will be 5 years of TTC next month and I have to draw the line somewhere.

I was reading a book about a ladies struggle with IVF and the following passage struck a chord with me...

IVF brings you to your knees and dares you to stagger to your feet again. It forces you, even as you steel yourself for more shots and setbacks, to remember the gentleness in you and the true reasons you want to bring another human into this world
BABY DUST TO ALL YOU LOVELIES:D

Hi everyone!

I am currently over in the pre-TTC chatter forum but as I have my first FS appt next week I thought I'd subscribe to this post!!

I have read back a little and you all sound lovely!!

I wasnt really sure on the forum to subscribe to, but as this is LTTTC and Assisted Conception I thought it'd be a good place to start?! :) I am not really a LTTTC'er as I've known for several years now that I cannot fall naturally and need IVF. My tubes were damaged a few years back by some large persistent cysts that I had to have removed in the end.

xx

Thanks heaps Tantee!! I hope you get one last miracle as well - wishing you all the very best hun, :pink-babydust::bluedust:
I have a dating scan next Friday ~ :pray: we hear a lovely heartbeat!

Stickyvibes and babydust to all!!

sorry all keep forgetting to remove the sig - i'm not used to having it.

Hi everyone,

I have finally found my way in to this thread (after accidently posting in the wrong one - hopeless!) I too am heading for my first FS appointment next week after a little over a year of TTC with no luck and infrequent AF. All very daunting but can't wait to get started and find out some answers. I have been a member of BB for a little while and just lurking which has helped me get my head around things and thought actually participating in the thread could help more.

Sticky vibes to all!!!!!
