Hi Ladies
FX for all who are having BT's. Hoping for BFP's for you.
Kashby - I hate being on the pill too. There just isn't a chance for a natural miracle. Not that I expect one lol.
Vic - I keep looking at your list and I can't believe I'm CD 59 lol. I think I've hit a new record for my longest cycle.
Bee - FX your loan is successful.
Porshe - That is a really long cycle. You must be so frustrated. At least you have started sniffing :)
Bee - Your loan must be adding stress so much stress to you, poor girl. I really hope that it gets approved and your all set to go.
SunnyV - Great news about being in the TWW.
Gosh, there are a lot of you on the pill at the moment.
AFM - DH has just been told that he has to go away for work again this week. Leaves tomorrow morning. We had been told he would be here for the next two weeks which would have been lovely as I may ovulate this week. Now there is not much hope of a natural cycle. We will DTD tonight and pray that he comes home Friday night and that it even lasts till that long. I know its supposed to last 3 days? So we will probably miss it anyway. Just have to pray that I ovulate on the weekend. I am really over this TTC life that we are all living. I guess I just have to wait for my results on Wednesday.
Hi Girls xoxox
I Just got a bfn on the hpt tis morn :cry:... having my bt tomoz to confirm.... shatterd it was our first ivf and i was sure it was it :rolleyes:...
good luck my turn and vic :pray::pray:
and big hugs for al of you going thru this hard ttc journey xoxo
Sorry Sarah4kurt! Sending hugs your way! xx
Sarah4kurt - big hugs - sorry hunny - wish I was able to say something to make all this seems better. I can only imagine how devastated you must be.
Bee - how are you feeling?
Kashby - hope the next two weeks go quickly for you.
Vic - sorry hun to hear that things arent going to plan for you at the moment. With changes to treatment cycles and DH's work plans. Really hope you are doing ok.
Hi to everyone else.
AFM - still no AF. Planning to call the clinic this wed or thurs to see if Ican't go in for a blood test to see what's happening. Am waiting for a FET. Have planned an overseas holiday for the end of April so am beginning to feel nervouse that I wont get a transfer in before I leave and will have to wait until May or June. Arghhhh. One the upside at least I have something nice to look forward to which will take my mind off this whole TTC (I hope, I need a break from my brain).
So very sorry Sarah4kurt. It can be totally devastating. Have a good cry and get lots of cuddles from DH.
Jane - Have the BT!!!! Enought waiting!!!
AFM - I found out that my E2 was 1325 (CD12) which they tell me that means a dominant follicle, so here's hoping that I ovulated over the weekend and we caught the eggy. My prog was 2 at CD12, which means that it hadn't happened yet. Not to sure if I am in the TWW. I will know after my BT results on Wednesday. The clinic says once AF comes, I start my progynova and go into another FET. Not too sure when to expect AF.
wow I forgot how quick these threads can move.
I'll do my best to catch up.
I hope the clinic can fit you in Jane, I hate to wait
Sorry to hear you bad news Sarah4Kurt :hug:
Vic the waiting is the worst
Goodluck to all those starting thier treatment. I remember how hyper I was then.
So what's everyone's BMI lowering tips?
Right now I've been a step machine (40 mins a day) no chocolate, only a bottle of wine on the weekend. Shifting but slow. I Have PCOS. Luck of the draw I guess.
Well on the weekend I did a big blubber when we packed up all the baby stuff and took it to mums DF said "when the baby" and I lost it. I'm so glad he's on the same page. Clinic appointment in July seams ages but lots to do in the mean time. (step step step) :D
Hi greenslaw I have just started with a personal trainer and have pco on one side and on meds to try and help my body with the side effects if it. My trainer as me on high cardio with short bursts of fast hard stuff then a break then go again, heart rate up and down to burn the fat. He said shorter and harder is better. Hope that might help you a bit, oh and I have a really high bmi.
Sarah - so sorry to hear about your bfn, have a good cry and let yourself deal with it in whatever way you need to xo
Hi to everyone else, sneaking in here and there :-)
Evening Beautiful ladies
Sorry to here sarah4kurt that you got a BFN i remember how devastating that was so big hugs for you.
Vic I really really hope you manage to catch that elusive eggy while hubby is home.
To those with PCOS trying to loe weight I think there is a few of us, I have a high BMI too I had gastric sleeving and got down to 93 and was stable for 3 years until the dr changed my arthritis meds...8 weeks and 8 kilos later i got off it but ended up with Lupus. So im still very stiff and sore and wish I could exercise to shift it but im not allowed so i just watch what I eat everyday but because of the sleeving if I eat too much or the wrong thing i vomit anyway but it constantly upsets me because everyone assumes I eat poorly. In addition to this I am on steroids often and during attempted dregnancy constantly so its a never ending battle. I can recommend running though for PCOS or a team sport as we tend to be pretty competitive girls :)
Porsche as for a really long cycle mine naturally occur about every 12 months but 59 must be doing your head in when your counting the days FX its over soon so you can get moving!!
AFM Im just waiting for AF to arrive and the loan to be approved and I'm absolutely hanging out for school holidays (im a teacher) so I can spend some quality time with my dad who has terminal cancer and of course my dorgeous little man who will be turning 3!! BBS ladies take care xx

Staffy- hope you are feeling better now. I can't believe your work lets you take Sick leave for your IVF treatment. You are so lucky. Mine is a little less understanding.
Porsche- I have my FX AF arrives for you, I am also waiting for AF to arrive so I can start my next cycle but I'm only 3 days late with no BFP.
Bee- I really hope all goes well with the loan, nothing worse that stressing about money.
sunny- just take it for what it is, I still get nervous every time I see the FS but always feel excited once I have seen him because it feels like a am doing something. You will feel like a weight has been lifted once you have seen them.
Kashby- I hope time starts to fly for you.
Sarah4kurt- oh no hun, so sorry about the bad new. I know it hurts more and more each time it fails. Just try and stay strong and remind yourself why you are doing all this.
Jane- I hope everything works out before you holiday.
Kerbear- thanks for you weight loss tips, I really need to drop around 5kg but have been struggling.
A big hi to all the lovely ladies I have missed. Hope you are all doing well.
AFM- seen my FS yesterday, of course he was running an hour late but it was worth the wait. We will be starting IVF this cycle as soon as AF arrives (3 days over due). He was very positive and gave us 50% chance of it working mostly due to a little above average egg reserve and my age. So now I am just waiting for the nurse to call and give me all the details. So excited.

Sarah4kurt - sorry about the bfn, big hugs hun. Xxx
Mrs Mac - yay to starting ivf! Wishing you all the best and that af arrives soon so you can get started.
Hi to everyone else.
Afm - I had a bt today. Hormones are still at the same baseline level they were a week ago (arghhh!) so I have been told to up my dose on alternate days and have another bt on Saturday. I'm kinda nervous it will result in another cancelled cycle but just focusing on staying positive and calm. Trying to accept that I have no control in this crazy game.
hi ladies, sorry for the lack of replies! hope everyone is doing well, or as well as we all can be.
nothing much here just hanging for tomorrow at 10.15am! :D
Good luck for tomorrow Krikkit!
Good luck tomorrow Krikket....everything is crossed for you.
AFM- like a few other ladies jut waiting for AF. Rang the bank today to follow up our loan and it appears it was lost somewhere along the line so we have to do another application and the manager will push it through quickly (apparently) grrrr
Good luck for this morning Krikit!
Bee how annoying! Funny how they can lose paperwork yet they never lose a chance to charge for anything you lose!!! Hope you get the approval soon.

Good luck for today Kritkit. FX this is it for you :)
Bee - How frustrating for your loan paperwork to go MIA. Lucky you called. I am the queen of stalking people until I get what I need. Otherwise my stuff gets sidetracked too :(
Keta - Hopefully upping the meds will do the trick. Its amazing what they can do to our bodies. I hate it when they dont respond like they should. Although I guess if we had normal bodies, most of us would not be in here.
Mrs Mac - Yay for starting IVF. Crazy to be saying yay, but its the most empowered I feel. Bring on AF!!
Hi to everyone else.
AFM - Just waiting for BT results at lunch to see if I have or am ovulating. Its a natural cycle for me this month and when AF comes I need to start taking Progynova to line up for another FET. So sick of all the waiting...
Looks like I'm back in here :(
BT tomorrow morning - but pretty sure it's over :( :( :(
Anyway - got to make a decision about whether to FET the last little frostie or lose 10kg at least first.
Heart wants to jump right in - head is saying let's give it a better chance and loses right first. So probably head wins out this time - seems a shame to waste a good embie if my body is not doing what it is supposed to.
If it wasn't for DH and you girls I don't know what I'd do. :(
Hi Ladies
Krikkit - FX for today.
Vic - Your doing a great job othe list. Thank you. I hate natural cycles. Only because mine are so all over the place. Hopefully Af isn't far away for you and you can stop waiting. So frustrating.
Bee - Ahh how annoying for you. I hope the manager does push it through for you. As Joeve said they never miss abeat to charge you for something. I hope it's cleared up soon for you.
MyTurn - :hug:. I'm sorry. I always battle with my head and heart. Unfortuately it's my heart that wins and that's not always a good thing for me.
Krikkit - Any news?????
Vic - What did the BT say?
Bee - I hate banks. Always stressful when it comes to money. Why does this all have to be so dam expensive.
My turn - so sorry hun. Bigs hugs. Know that we are behind you and here to support you what ever you choose to do.
AFM - so I rang the clinic again today. Am going in for a BT to see what's going on. So fingers crossed will have some sort of answer and plan hatched by late tomorrow afternoon.
Myturn I hope it's not over for you.
We had our first appointment today all good DH almost popped an eyeball when we were quoted for pgd with ivf... We are deliberating about whether to go that way or not.
Bee - that sux! seriously.. its probably sitting in someone's tray, I know.. I used to work for a bank. Hopeless!
Vic - can you explain a natural cycle? is it med free?? I haven't had no meds before.
myturn - :hug: hard decision to make. I am over weight at the moment too, and it will be a hard decision if I need to do a FET all over, I might have to drop about 10kg before I consider it again, its just so damn $$ and hard work, and hell who likes waiting!!!
AFM - everything went great, eggie was all defrosted and already forming into a blastocyst (yay!) I still have two more frozen, so :crossfingers: I won't need them - stick baby stick!
Yay krikket :) FX it all works out.
Thanks girls
Hey does anyone else find it hysterical that in a TTC thread so many of us are on the pill? I know what the logistics are, but every once in a while I find the irony gets to me!
Sarah4Kurt - sry to hear your news :( We pretty much all know how it feels and give you all the hugs you might need.
Saffy - I am doing an antagonist this time. For you, your first long down reg, huh (if I remember correctly from way back). I did that my first cycle last month and it felt like everyone else was doing something but me!! I start jabbing April 1 with US April 6. Will look forward to seeing how you are doing ..... hopefully this does the trick for you :)
Bee - aaaaargh about the B***** paperwork getting lost. Banks! At least you checked so you can get it sorted ASAP. Hope your virus runs away. Good news is that next week has GOT to be better than this one :)
Jane - thinking of you and your epic AF saga ;) Will look forward to some progress for you after BT.
Porsche - hehe re the miracle - yeah right!! I am also finding it ironically funny that the lack of stress of not being on a cycle and TTC cos of being on OCP has done wonders for (ahem, TMI warning) DH's 'interest' iykwim.......right when it counts but doesn't! Hehe.
Myturn - sorry to hear things not looking good :hug: Have no useful thoughts on the now v later question for next time but wishing you well in your decision-making.
Vic - Good luck with BT result ....... Sorry DH has had to go away again at short notice. Feel for you re the waiting frustration :hug:
Krikkit - Congrats on PUPO!!
AFM: Same old same old. Nothing new. Waiting waiting waiting. Boring me! No dramas to share. No unexpected events or non-events needing sorting. OK, rant over and back to work :) Happy baby dreams to make into reality everyone. Night!!!

Kritkit - CD18 - 1 day post transfer 1 x day 5 embryo BT?
Vic261 - CD19 AF due 1st April ???
Kritkit - Congrats on being PUPO. I have put you down for one day 5 embryo on the list, please let me know if its not right :) Enjoy the TWW madness :) :) :) A natural cycle is the old fashioned way. No meds, just DTD around ovulation and hoping to catch the eggy. We were told to have a month off after our last failed IVF cycle last month and I thought great I dont ovulate so dont know how long the time off would be, so my FS said to run a bt to see whats happening and bugger me I was about to ovulate. My DH and I are both stunned, but pleased that we can do something in our month off.
Joeve - Yay for IVF, bugger for the cost associated with IVF. I cant remember why your talking about the PGD way? (Sorry, so many of us in here :) )
Hi to everyone else.
AFM - Well apparently I have ovulated and we are guessing it was over the weekend :leap: and DH was hope and we DTD a couple of times, so FX that we caught it. I still dont have much hope as it hasn't worked naturally before, but its nice to save the money this month and who knows it may have happened for a reason :pray: My E2 was 465 and my prog 14, so its defiantely happened between last Thursday afternoon 3.50pm and Tuesday morning 8.00am. Cant believe my body sometimes. So I am in the TWW but it feels different from an assisted cycle. Maybe because I dont know if my tubes are blocked and with an assisted cycle, you definately know its in there. Sure would be nice though to fall pg naturally and be done with IVF...a girl can dream...
Vic yay to ov! A natural surprise would be lovely :) we were exploring pgd due to a couple of m/c.
Hi Ladies
Krikkit - Woo hoo on being PUPO! Now the TWW crazies start. FX.
Vic - Our bodies always amaze us and you can never expect it to do what you think it should or know lol. Yay to O. Who knows this may be the cycle to get that BFP? I'm glad your DH was home.
Joeve - I'm thinking of bringing PGD up with my FS too because of MC history. I've had 2 blighted Ovums. One in April 2010 right beofre we started our first IVF cycle. And One in January this year from our FET in December. Have you had it done or are you just looking into it? Did your FS suggest it to you?
Hiya ladies, I've come to join in now :)
Will be starting my first IVF/ICSI cycle as soon as AF shows up, prob in about 5 days if she plays nice ;) lol
So right now I'm panicking about the cost, reading the stack of info the clinic sent us home with yesterday, and trying to get the schedule of events straight in my head. Wow is it full on or what?!
We are going down this path because DH has very, very little ejaculate, and since having it tested we have found his swimmers are slow.
Bloods also revealed my AMH to be very low for my age, at just 5.4, but ultrasound shows grade A ovaries with plenty of eggs, so the FS is starting straight away with higher doses of the meds hoping that I will respond well.
Assessment cycle went perfectly, I had a lovely egg ovulate at 22mm on day 14, my lining is lovely and thick at 10.5mm on CD24 (today) so all our fingers and toes are crossed that my body responds well to the stimulation and we get some good results :crossfingers:
I dunno what the 'normal' dosage range is, or what drugs are 'usually' prescribed to all you ladies, but I am curious as to how mine compare:
Day 2 commence prednisolone
Days 3-6 Gonal F @ 187.5
Day 7 Gonal F and Orgalutran
Days 7-10 bloods and ultrasound with nurse advising of any adjustments to dosages
Pregnyl trigger when advised
possible hormone support (pessaries etc) after transfer, will be advised
Got a Gonal F dvd to watch from the clinic too, hope it's got a good storyline at least ;)
Anyhoo, sticky vibes to all, I look forward to getting to know you all :hug:
Hi girls,
Just a quick one from me now. Will come back tomorrow and respond to you all properly.
Just thought I'd give you an update. Had a BT this morning which shows I have ovulated so it looks like AF should arrive in about a fornights time. That will means it could be almost a 60 day cycle. Sigh. So there is nothing I can do but wait. More waiting, you think I'd be better at it by now, but no. If AF arrives by 5th April then I might squeeze in a FET before we leave for an overseas trip at the end of the month. It not... well I'll be devastated again. Feeling really angry with my body not playing the game. I think another of my friends is pregnant too, and whilst they haven't announced it yet, I am already struggling not to be insanely jealous. I think I'm crazy. :(
Hey Girls
Yay for O Vic my FX that you get to make a baby the old fashioned and much more fun way ;)
Hope you are fairing well thus far krikket
Welcome to the Newbies!!
Just a quick one got a ton of marking to do tonight! Im still waiting for AF....getting very impatient I finished provera on tuesday so like a few of us I get a bit crazy too with all this waiting and doesnt help when all your friends are pregnant :( BBS hopefully at CD1!!
ReeRee- how exciting for you. I am also starting my first IVF cycle this month if AF ever turns up ( already quite late). I am heading into the clinic this morning to have my IVF induction with a nurse. Guess we will find out what type of cycle we are doing and what meds/dosages I will be on. I'm feeling a little excited about it all now but I'm sure that will all go away when the Jabs start. Nice to know I have another buddy going through this at the same time. Good luck.
Vic- that was great news hun.

Vic261 - CD20 AF due 1st April ???
Jane - Congrats on ovulating finally :clap:. Any chance your in the TWW? I can move you on the list if you want :)
Ree*Ree - Welcome. Do you want me to add you to the list? Any chance your in the TWW also? My Gonal F was 225iui the first time then upped to 262.5iui the second time. I was on Cetrotide and then Ovadril for trigger. Scan & BT usually cd 9, EPU usually cd12. All the very best for your first go at IVF :)
Mrs Mac - FX that AF turns up soon too. Good luck with your induction.
Bee27 - AF should be here any day. Mine usually comes 3 days after I stop taking it.
Hi to everyone else in here.
AFM - Not much to report. Doesn't even feel like I am in the TWW, which is kind of nice. Maybe since I am not focusing on it, it will work lol. If only it were that easy :rolleyes:
Jane and ReeRee - yay for O. Hope the tww goes quickly and ends with excitement.
KritKit - Congrats on being PUPO! Stick little one stick.
Mrs Mac - Hope things go well for you and your ready to start very soon.
Bee27 - sending you af vibes. The waiting sucks and always seems to make pregnant bellies and newborns so much more obvious. Hugs.
Vic - I hope it is that easy (although I don't think if your in this thread even a natural surprise can be called easy). Bring on a sticky bub for you.
Myturn - how are you? Did your bt confirm your thoughts?
AFM - plodding along. Still not feeling any action in the ovaries but have woken up with a swollen eye (who knows what that is about!). Hoping tomorrows bt reveals the need for a scan on Monday and trigger sometime next week, although I had to pick up another vile of puregon so I'm thinking it could be a while away.
Hope everyone has had a good week and have a relaxing weekend planned.
Mrs Mac and Ree Ree - Congrats on starting on your IVF journey. It can be a little scary and overwhelming at first but I've found the support here amazing.
Bee - I hate waiting too. Hoping you dont have to wait too much longer.
Keta - fingers crossed you can trigger next week. Hope your eye is ok too.
Vic - It would be so amazing if your TWW ended with a pleasant ending - hey miracles have go to be possible don't they?
AFM - well yes Vic I think I am technically in the TWW and whilst we DTD around the time of O I really have given up all hope of ever conceiving naturally. So really just wish AF would come so I can try a FET. I realise that IVF doesn't work for everyone but I guess I've put all my eggs in that basket hoping desperately it might work for us. But feel free to move me to the TWW list with AF due between 3rd and 5th April (i'm guessing)
Hoping all you lovely ladies have an excellent weekend!!!
Oh I hope AF arrives in time for you Jane!
Hi MrsMac :) yay for a first-timer buddy!! Hope AF comes soon so we can hold each others hand thru this ;)
Thanks for sharing all that Vic :) and yes please, you can add me to the list, CD25 today for me. Not in the TWW though, had my Rubella shot at the start of this cycle so wasn't allowed to TTC :( Fingers crossed for u though!!
Thanks and hi Keta :)
