Me4ever awesome result you must be feeling very positive
Keta hello nice to see you
Saffy I am sending you growing vibes xx
Ree goodluck

Hello everyone I am still sick on antibiotics now good scan results today which was good.

[J.Bear]

Hey lovely ladies,

Thanks for the well wishes Vic261, Myturn - I'm not feeling very positive atm I spent so much time toying with the idea of POAS then last night I had some bleeding, no cramps just a little dark blood mixed with the Crinone gel. So this morning i took a HPT & i got a BFN I feel shattered. Is it crazy that I still feel like there could be a chance for us? Will just wait & see how if it's AF or spotting, maybe take another test? Ahhhh who knows.

Mrs Mac & Ree Ree - Good luck with your transfer tomorrow! Fingers & Toes crossed that all goes well & those embies get nice & comfy!

Me4ever - Glad to hear your feeling good after transfer & great to hear that you got 7 to freeze, well done! Will keep everything crossed for you too

Jane - Very excited for you! Cheers x

[lyra stardust]

Oh wow, so much going on with everyone! How exciting.

Joeve- hope you are feeling a bit better- FWIW I don;t think being sick can affect the egg quality. Glad to hear your scans are looking good.

Jane- glad to hear things are finally moving along for you you must be so relieved!

Me4ever- well done on the transfer! Sticky sticky vibes. Hope you are resting up and pampering yourself. Welcome to the TWW. It's SLOOOWWWW lol

J.Bear- 3 days to D-day. Wow you're so much stronger than me. I'm a POAS-aholic. Even though I have pregnyl and so am getting false positives. But I still do it because if I see the lines getting stronger then it means things are looking hopeful, and if they stay the same or get fainter I get a heads up and don't bawl on the phone to the clinic on Monday. I wait til I get off the phone... Hope the blood wasn't AF. Is the crinone progesterone pessaries? If so I get horrible bleeding with those as they can irritate the cervix so maybe the blood was only that. Anyway, we're nearly there!!

myturn- Woohoo!! good luck for transfer!

Vic- sorry to hear about the business, but hope things a looking up TTC wise very soon!

Keta- sorry to hear you are feeling negative about the cycle. I really hope i doesn't get cancelled again. Praying for your little follies to grow!

Saffy- sorry to hear you scan wasn't so good, but FX that one of those little follies is THE ONE!

Mrs mac and reeree- good luck for transfer!!

sorry if I;ve missed anyone...

AFM- not feeling too positive any more as I didn't have an implantation bleed and had a very obvious one with my son. I have my counselling tomorrow so that's good. ANOTHER friend told me she'd pregnant- an accident. I hate myself for letting it affect me - I don't want her child, I want mine, but it still had me ready to burst into tears all day. Anyway, at least I only have to wait til Monday now til I'm put out of my misery. Tomorrow morning I can POAS again to see how much pregnyl is still in my system- I know I'm insane but it helps me to be doing something. lol Ok sending lots of love and sticky baby vibes. x

[Saffy]

Lyra- I've only had implantation bleeds with 2 natural pregnancies, I have had 3 ivf pregnancies and never had an implantation bleed, so it doesn't have to happen every time, sorry you are feeling down, it is hard to hear about other pregnancies when you are despairing in the tww x

[PlanetSasha]

Hi everyone!

Wow this thread is really busy

Vic - sorry about the business (banks can be so frustrating sometimes) I'm sure a better one will be on the horizon soon!

Joeve - I hope you start to feel better soon.

Mrs Mac & Ree*Ree - good luck for transfer, fingers crossed they stick for you!

Hi to everyone else, I hope you are all doing ok I'm a bit lost on where everyone is up to sorry!

AFM - not much happening with me, I'm sitting twiddling my thumbs waiting for AF to arrive, then I'll be doing a FET. She should be here any day now, I hope!

Take care all!

[myturn]

oh j.bear
Yep it sucks.... totally sucks.... doesn't hurt to keep your hopes up, but I know how hard it is, as soon as I see the brown crinone, I just know it's not going to work... and so far I've been right.... BUT.... I always get comments from people on here, saying "it ain't over till the BT sings".... cause some people do get a bleed and still ge a BFP.... so... who knows... anything is possible....
so cry, feel crap, do whatever you need to do to keep yourself sane - cause whatever is going to happen will happen, and if it's going to stick it will, and you will survive through another cycle, and still get out the other side intact - you can cope and you can be strong... because one day, one day it will be a BFP.... no matter how many -ve's you get... you only need to one to stick....


I seriously hate the place you are in right now.... it's sucky and I wish I could take away your pain for you....xxxxxxxxxxx

[lyra stardust]

Sorry J-bear I must have been typing at the same time as you. Sorry to hear it's a negative at the moment. That sucks. I hope it changes.

Thanks Saffy, that makes me feel better. I guess in my head the only frame of reference I have is that the one time I did get IB I was pregnant, and all the other times I didn;t- I wasn't. So I;ve been waiting and hoping all week for a sign that things are working.

AFM- lookinh like a probable neagtive for me too My POAS this morning was barely visible and definitely less strong than yesterday bu a long way, so must just be residual pregnyl. GRRR hate this. Devastated, but still have to push through til Monday. J-Bear I'm thinking of you too and praying for miracles for us.

Hi ladies-

Hope you don't mind if I join in here.....
A little bit of background on me:
Our FS encouraged us to try naturally for another 3 months, with additional supplements for my DH (sperm issues) - well it will be 3 months coming up in May.
I'm not pregnant- so we'll be jumping straight (hopefully) into an IVF/ICSI cycle.
I'm excited and nervous all the same time!
I just want to get started!

:babydust: to all.

Ps- can anyone in Victoria tell me how I can organise a police check?

[Janie71]

Hi Emma,

You should be able to get the relevant forms from your IVF clinic if you just ring the reception area they will point you to the correct person. There are 2 checks that need to be done. The police check and also child protection order check through the dept of human services. It's a good idea to get them organised early.

I was with MIVF and they sent the forms out in a welcome pack to me.

Good luck!

[Emma09]

Hi Janie-
Thanks.
I am with Melbourne IVF- my FS advised me to get it organized before my appointment, but she didn't give me any forms or anything.

[PlanetSasha]

Hi Emma
I had to download the forms, the police check form you will find at www.police.vic.gov.au
With the child protection I think I googled it & found it that way. Monash IVF had a link to it but it wasn't working properly. You can also try this link http://mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/victorian-legislation-on-ivf
I hope this helps good luck!

[myturn]

Emma if you ring mivf and make your first appointment for counselling and pla and nurse then you can ask. I'm pretty sure they sent them all out to me as well.

So I'm off for transfer today

Not sure how I feel but will just keep busy and hope.

[Emma09]

Thanks ladies-
The FS told me to ring before my appointment, if I wasn't pregnant, so that she could arrange the nessecary appointments for me.
What is PLA?
Something to do with payment?

Good luck today myturn!

[PlanetSasha]

Good luck my turn! I hope this is the one for you

[Joeve]

Lyra hope your lines are there this morning crossing things for you x
Myturn goodluck x
Emma welcome x
Hello everyone else
Still sick here just terrible, the only plus side is that I have not noticed any side effects from the stim drugs apart from bloating. Trying to see the positive
Anyway it's getting exciting in here!

[Jane :)]

J. Bear - thinking of you hun. Big hugs.

My turn - good luck for today - so exicting - crossing everything for you and will see you in TWW thread soon.

Ree Ree and Mrs Mac- if my memory serves me right you transfers were yesterday. Hope all went well. Might stalk you in the TWW thread.

Welcome Emma - sorry I can't answer any of you questions - I live in Sydney andd can't remember having to do a police check or child protection check. May be we dont do them up here -I'm not sure. Anyways, hope your time here is brief.

Lyra - cant believe you are still sick - hope you start to feel better soon and you get a strong BFP result. Not long left in the TWW for you now. Crossing everything for you.

Joeve - no good to hear you are still sick but you sound like a "glass half full" kind of person looking for the upside of things. That's just awesome. Really hope that you feel better soon. Wot be long til pick up and transfer for you. Good luck.

Planet Sasha - Hope AF comes soon - she is such a pain never here when you want and always here when you dont. Good luck with the FET.

Hi to everyone else. Hope you are all poldding along well.

AFM - started progesterone pessaries last night in prep for transfer sometime on Tuesday. Hoping that one of my little blasties thaws well.

[nothing2lose]

Just poking my head in to say hi and good luck to everyone, no matter where you are in your cycle!

I have not been posting at all in here because I am not doing anything cycle-wise until after my FS appointment on the 26th. I have lost 5.5 kg but a kilo or so found me over Easter So back on the wagon tomorrow...You have to start on a Monday, right??!!

Take care lovelies

Good luck today myturn!

Pla - patient liaison administrator. So yep - payment.


Afm - sitting here after transfer of a 4 cell embie - defrosted yesterday but no progress overnight

I know - it doesn't mean anything - but feeling deflated and thinking about the weight loss as the next step. Can't even imagine myself pregnant anymore.
