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.
Ok, we are just hangin in by the skin of our teeth...just the one fertilised normally! For all the extra $$$ spent on the 'wonder' drugs this is the same as our result doing regular ivf over 6 mths ago!! Feel cheated and let down and most of all feel like a failure! i know that every time I do a cycle it always makes me feel like a total failure, why cant my body behave nicely for once!! Anyway, we have transfer tomorrow, hoping of course that this one survives the night! I think i am going to write this cycle off, just too much energy to keep having hope.
Sorry for the downer, i know i am still in the game but i just feel like the end is finally here. Think i just need to accept it and get over it and move on!
Hi girls! thanks for your well wishes. I got a surprise 5 eggs yesterday, thats the most we have had since my very first cycle 4 & half years ago!!....but this was short lived as 2 were immature, so just 3 were injected. But 3 is ok as is our 'magic' number!! Anyway, am now waiting impatiently by the phone to see if they fertilised ok? Still not sure whether they are going to Day 3 or 5 as they take it day by day and see how they are progressing before making any decisions...personally i just want them back in me ASAP, maybe i'm just an over-protective mummy!!
So Loops have you done the dreaded pee yet??!! I hope you get two lovely lines come up
Tantee, good to hear you had a nice time in Canberra. You are right i think its important to plan enjoyable things to look forward to, otherwise this whole ivf ttc thing can take over and get too overwhelming! So what do you have in stall next??
Saffy, all the best for saturday . So it that Day 5 embryo transfer? I think we are timed together in our cycle exactly!! ...we can go crazy on the 2WW together!!
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
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!
I had my LH suge yesterday so my FET is booked for next Saturday- yay!!
Interestingly, I was doing my own OPKs just to double check and even though my BT was at 10am and picked up a surge, my opk at 4pm was neg and only became positive today! Weird, it must only pick up a really high level.
Yogi- best of luck for a good result today, its so nerve racking isn't it!!! You only need one as everyone says, so hopefully this is the cycle that gets you over the line xx
loops- any sign of AF?- hope not!! Have you caved and poas yet??
I think we're the only ones in here @ the moment, so the pressures on us 3 lol!
I have a hell week at work this week then once I'm in the TWW, its couch time/dvds/knitting and implantation (FX)
Hey Saff
No sign of AF yet and no I've been very good and havent caved yet, I may tomorrow or Wednesday.
Exciting - you have your day booked - woohoo a BFP very soon for you!! The couch time sounds like a plan. FX'd tight for you!
Saffy, Good luck for Sat. Hope you get all your work done so that you get to indulge in some guilt free relaxation.
Loops - how are you going? Have you managed to refrain? I think that when you sign up at the clinic, you should automatically be given shares for an hpt company. I know I have spent an absolute bomb on them over the years I hope this is the month for you
Yogi - How did you go yesterday? I so hope that you had success. I have my fingers and toes crossed for you.
Kaybee - so nice of you to pop in and check up on everyone. I hope all is going well for you, I hope you enjoy the exciting time that is coming up for you, best wishes to you xxx
N2L - How are you going chick?
Melissa - How are you feeling. I hope you are feeling much better. What is your next plan of attack?
Hiya Happybaby - hope you are going OK. Where are you up to at the moment?
AFM - same old, same old. Still in the land of confusion... argh! Had a nice, albeit very quick, trip to the ACT and took in a lot of the sites all in 2 days. Had never been there before (unbelievably as it is not that far from Syd) but found it an interesting place.
Just trying to plan out little things to look forward to and cross a few things off my to do list so I feel like I'm achieving something.
Hope you are all having a good day.
