Goodluck and sunshine to all, gosh it sounds exciting in here already, you all have so much lined up! Im excited to get to where you all are.
Vic - I have been trying for 3 1/2 years but I am very much a newbie. We tried on our own for a little over 2 years and then got some help but it has been such a long road... Im sure I dont have to tell that to anyone in this room though.
I am still trying to figure out my cycles and such, nothing I map out seems to match to what I read on FF etc. But then, I think us chickys with problems tend to have hormones that mess some of the signs up, right? Oh oH!! AND I am getting really super excited but my first ever FS appointment in next week! Im starting to get super excited about it. Finally, a step forward! I know it isnt as exciting as all of your news but I am happy I have something to share with you all for now.
Looks like I'm out! AF arrived in full force this morning, will still have to have BT tomorrow though. I had a feeling that it wasn't this time & it is only the first cycle of IVF, so many more of you have been trying for so much longer than me.
Vic thanks for keeping on top of the list it makes it so much easier to keep on top of where everyone is at. Can you change me to Day 1 please thanks!
PlanetSasha - I'm so very sorry that AF arrived I really admire your optimism though. A helpful lesson for me. Thanks. Big hugs.
My turn- Hope AF stays away. You are sso patient not POAS but I guess what would be the point if the meds gave you a false result anyway.
Sunny - Super exciting about your FS appointment coming up.
Vic - Sounds like you appointment went well. You managed to cover a lot in just 6 minutes. Wow. Hoping that your frosties thaw nicely and grow into awesome blasties when the time comes.
Hi to everyone else. Hope you are all doing well.
AFM - Can you guess it.... yep, still waiting on AF Think she's decided to skip this visit. It is so strange willing AF to arrive when so many are willing her to stay away. Man this journey can be backwards and inside out all at the same time.
Planetsasha - so very sorry to hear your news hun No matter how many times you go through it, that moment of "that phone call" or AF showing up is still devasting.
Jane - Do you have to wait the whole 10 days? It must feel like forever for you.
SunnyV - Great news about your FS appointment. Let me know the date and I will add it to the list if you want.
AFM - I have been struggling with my FS phone consult. I was fine after I hung up and quite positive, but now I am having huge doubt about whether our snow bubs will grow out. What if none survive??? Does that mean its all over for us??? Have I dragged DH on this journey, spent all this money, invested so much financially for nothing??? I am finding it quite stressful and am still about 3 weeks away from knowing. FS thinks its pretty much quality and he cant really help with that. I did look into another fertility clinic in Adelaide, but it is sooooo expensive compaired to the one we are using. We struggle to find the money for this clinic. DH was great on the phone tonight. He is getting so much better at hearing my fears than he used to be. I guess its been a learning curve for both of us. Anyway enough about me. Have a great night everyone.
Thanks ladies! I think there has just been so much going on with moving etc. I do however have a question... Until after the BT I'm supposed to keep taking all different meds, would that still include the pessaries? Not sure i really want to do those now AF is here (sorry if tmi).
PlanetS - I felt the same last week re the meds but did it until the BT for the heck of it - double ugh!! Guess by now you've already made a decision.
Vic - sry to hear you are all downsy Awful not to have any b***** control over this! Glad DH was good for you tonight - nice to have that if you cannot have a conversation and hug in person. Hang in there
Sunny - gd luck for your appointment
Jane - yes, bizarre that wanting AF v not ..... to be sure she shows up when you DON'T want her to! Very reliable sometimes
Hi girls, I've been sick so reading not posting, but getting better now, so should be able to catch up
Vic- what did the FS suggest that the gp take a biopsy of?? I'm confused about that. I know how you feel about egg quality, theres nothing to do. But don't jump the gun, you may get some embies growing, so just wait and see before you hit the panic button (easier said than done I know). If the worst comes to the worst would you consider donor eggs? I will be looking into this if my next stim cycle is a dud. Dont' give up yet hun, how many frosties do you have?? Sorry I've probably missed it.
planetsasha- sorry af came hun, about the pessaries, you are meant to, but hen its obvious I stop, its too much grossness on top of everything else xx
hi everyone else, sorry no persies just about to go to the dentist (would rather be on BB obviously)
afm- still on the pill for another 2 wks so feel like i haven't got much to contribute at the mo, have had viral conjunctivitis which was horrible, and have to be off work sick for another week cos its contagious and i work with babies. Annoying cos I am wastiong sick leave that I need for ivf!!!!
Saffy - Sorry to hear that you have not been well. Its sucks to take off work precious IVF time. I am not too sure about the biopsy. I had not heard of it and he didn't really explain it. He said we would talk in depth, when I go through another stim cycle. I have thought about egg donor, but not too sure how DH would feel about it. My sister has offered, but I think I would be too weird about that. It would be like her and my DH having a child together. She is in no way maternal, has had her children, but I still think its too weird. For me it would be much better to be anonymous. I probably wouldn't tell anyone either. Its really expensive to do, so I dont know if we could even afford it. I guess I just have to wait to see. I have 5 x day 2 frosties.
Vic - LOL to your DH and you dog. I do that to our dogs. We have a Husky and a Belgian Malinois. So a bit bigger than your one :P. I pretend I'm not fond of them but I do love them and cuddle them when DH isn't looking haha. I'm CD56 ATM. I start sniffing on Sunday and I stop BCP on the 26th March. I'm praying and hoping AF arrives on the 27th lol (wishful thinking) and not 2 weeks later like last time.
Krikkit - Woo Hoo on a TF day. Not long to go.
MyTurn - FX nasty Af stays away for a good 8-9 months.
PlanetSasha - I'm sorry AF arrived. Just gut wrenching for you.
Saffy - I hope your recovering well. How'd the dentist go?
AFM - As I mentioned CD56. I start sniffing on Sunday and then go from there. Not much else to do until AF comes.

Hi Ladies
Im guessing i will be starting sooner rather than later as I was a couple of hours late taking the ravolera and i got breakthrough bleeding so I'm pretty sure AF will be here as soon as I stop taking it on Sunday...which is fine but hubby is freaking out and the IVF loan is yet to be finalised. Fingers crossed it all works out in the end. Ive been sick too great having no voice and trying to teach high school. Well I will be back in when AF arrives to put my name on the list FINALLY lol Until then have a great weekend and for any Irish St Patricks day too.
Bee
Bee27 - I will be happy to add you to the list If your loans not ready, will the clinic wait for payment if its just paperwork?
Hi everyone else.
AFM - I got my BT results this morning. I was hoping for baseline E2 but apparently its quite high and looks like I am about to ovulate I have been telling the FS that I dont ovualte and need to start my progynova, and yet the BT seems to imply that I am about to ovulate. I have not ovulated on my own since September i think. So now the waiting game begings. I think now they are going to wait until my next AF to line up for another FET. Frustration overload. Now, god knows, how many weeks until I can start my FET. Usually my cycles are around 33 days, and I have no POAS for ovulation at home, so its going to be back to DTD and TTC the old fashion way this month. I cant see them wanting to go ahead with the FET. I now have to have another BT on Tuesday to check E2, prog & LH. My FS will check over the results and go from there. It will be nice to fall pg naturally??? I doubt that I will, as I never have before, but you never know I guess.
DH is asleep at the moment. He never sleeps in the afternoon, but is so tired from work. Its a beautiful day outside too. Never mind. Have a great weekend girls xxx
Hi everyone and welcome to all the new girls, I hope you are graduating soon.
Vic - that happens to me all the time, well twice now. We have gone to start a cycle and I have randomly been ovulating. Crazy when my cycles vary between 3 and 6 months that a by has caught ovulation twice. I hope you do get a surprise natural bfp. To answer your question from the last thread (sorry I know I'm a bit late) we are ding oi using puregon at a low dose of 50. Then if I get the one or two follicles we will do timed intercourse. If my hormones fizzle or I get an overload of follicles or both like last time then we cancel and I will have to go for further testing to see what is
Going on. I'm trying to take this as a tracking cycle rather than actually trying so that if it goes nowhere I'm not too disappointed. Fingers crossed your naturally made eggy is of great quality and provides you with a baby!
Saffy and Vic - I hope both of you ladies are feeling better. Vic I think I need to read up on all the acronyms, I am only half understanding your post... but I really truly hope that your snow babies work for you honey!
AFM - my FS appointment is this Thursday. - the 22nd? Im going between super excited and really nervous. I have no idea what will happen, I hope that we get some tests done or come out of it with some sort of plan for attack.
Also, I *think* now that I am in the TWW... does that mean that I post in the other thread? Thank you all for taking that time with a confused little newbie like me! LOL.
Goodluck everyone, and have a great week!
xx Sunny.
