Ahhhhhhh- ok.
I'll save my money then- I think I'll need it!

It would only save you about $1300 a stim cycle.
Oh ok- think I need to read my booklet properly to see exactly what the FS has planned for us.
I think the cost is daunting as we have no idea how many cycles it may take!

I have spent over $50k :(
But then, i am the Queen of the BFNs ;)
WOW!
Do you mind me asking, how many cycles is that?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
six cycles of ovulation induction and nine ivf cycles (so far)
Oh ok- you've been through a lot.
I seriously, honestly, positively, hope you are the next BFP I see being announced :hug:

Thanks Emma :)
i think any bfp in this thread is a good one.
Agreed!
It's so hard when nobody IRL knows what we're going though.
People that haven't had issues with conceiving, just don't get it.
I know I didn't, before I found myself here- with no explanation.

We are all crossing our fingers for you N2L - seriously someone should speak to the universe and tell them to get their act together.... cause N2L's seriously had enough....!:
Thanks :)
I am blessed to have my dd but my dp has no biological children so this is it for him :(

Nice list Vic thanks for keeping it up to date :)
Had a fight with DH last night hmmm crankypants much???
Joeve - so sorry for your fight. Hope you have kissed and made up by now. Blame the hormones :)
I had my pipelle biopsy this afternoon. Was pretty painful and left me bleeding but I am glad its done now. It was very crampy like AF was in full force. My GP said thats to be expected. As far as I am aware they want to injure the lining to make it repair itself. It was sent off for testing, but they are not really interested in the results. Normally its done to test for cancer. From what Dr Google tells me its meant to help with failure to implant issues. I am happy to try anything at this stage.
Scan on Monday. Hope it doesn't put me back a few days. Start Cetrotide tomorrow night. The joys of injecting oneself twice in one night!
not nice Vic - hope the bleeding stops, here's hoping SOMETHING can be done about implantation.
yay.... so looking forward to starting to stab myself again.... at least that's still a couple of months away for me....

Morning ladies. The Chinese herbs have produced some cm!! Globs of it sorry tmi!!! Anyway tried for a natural go last night but DH moved the wrong way and head butted me lol so funny!!! Maybe laughing my way through dtd will be more effective than ivf.... Imagine that!
Joeve - too funny! Yay for chinese herbs - they always taste like cr*p but sounds like they worked! Fingers crossed.
Vic - biopsy sounds yuck but glad you made it through, Hope you're feeling better now and that you get some info from it soon.
Gotta dash or we'll be late for swimming lesson but - CD1 for me (HRT FET) and scan booked for May 29. So odd as I only get AF normally due to medication (one of the reasons for our fertility probs - haven't had a natural period in YEARS and YEARS) so I was like "Oh ****, gotta find a tampon so I can swim with DD!" ha ha sorry TMI - but I did find one :)
Vic hope you are feeling better today after your biopsy ;)
Mrs P yay to AF!
Just had a scan. It hurt :( Lining really good but my ovaries are MIA so she couldn't tell if I have a follie ready to pop. BT should reveal more. Seratec is almost positive.
The downside is I have to go back and do it all again on Sunday :(
Ovaries must be out the back preparing follies :) sorry it hurt :(
Welcome back Mrs P. FX that this FET leads to your BFP.
N2L - Sorry the scan hurt :( Good luck for Sunday x
Joeve - Yay to trying naturally and cm.
AFM - Have recovered from yesterday. I feel tender in my ovaries so I guess the stimming must be working. Roll on Monday for scan. Have a great weekend ladies.
Lol Joeve, funny you should say that! They hide behind my uterus. Apparently they have no interest in being dildo cammed.
Speaking of which, FS's, if you're reading, poking, prodding and pushing the dildo cam further and harder into my nether regions hurts. A lot. I know you need to see but please remember there are sensitive Bits at the other end of that hard probe :(
Hi Guys,
Vic- thanks for adding me to the TWW- it's so exciting for me to be in that bit down the bottom!! My BT is 31st May (although I plan to start POAS maybe 10dpo- sorry just can't help myself) I really hope that your biopsy does the trick!
N2L- naughty ovaries. Maybe they're just hiding cos they want to surprise you with fantastic follies!
Joeve- always good to keep DTD fun :) If head butting's your thing then go for it :) hehehe
Mrs P- yay for AF!
AFM- well had my iui and am now freaking out as the sperm sample wasn't great, and I found a site in google that told me that my chances with that sample are 3%. WTF??? Bloody google. Have now gone from penny positive to negative nancy. Oh well, all I can do now is wait. Maybe I'll just be that lucky 3%...
Hey ladies,
So nice to readf your updates. Sounds like things are progressing along for everyone with stabbing, scans and biopsys. Hoping that they all lead to that elusive BFP>
AFM - I'm feeling quite down. Another of my little brothers just announced they were expecting and whilst of course I'm excited for them I just keep feeling like my nose is repetitively rubbed in the fact that I am infertile and can't have kids on my own. Thats 9 of my closest friends and family expecting babies. I barely know anyone anymore who isn't UTD or already has a brood of kids. SO feeling left behind - this sucks! I know you all understand. Struggling to remain opptimistic, but while I still have 6 embies on ice I have to keep going, in the hope that maybe just maybe I'll get to be a mum too one day. Sorry, just needed to vent to someone who would understand.
Clinic called. Not quite surging. Progesterone is 1.5, LH is 16. Probably see a surge on Sunday, which means transfer on Thursday....the day DP has a corporate golf day and is playing with Ricky Ponting :wall: Pray for snow girls :lol:
Hoping for either an early or late surge for you N2L which would mean a wed or fri transfer. FX.
Jane - no need to apologise for venting, that's why we are here :) It's always hard to cope with another pg announcement and it sounds like you've had to deal with a lot of them lately :wall:
N2L - Ricky Ponting? He can wait ;) Hope you can schedule things around it hun!
Lyra - congrats on being PUPO!! Stay positive.
If all goes well with my lining again, transfer may be on the 6th, in the middle of my 3 work days. I am contemplating NOT taking the whole day off. I don't have a huge amount of sick leave/annual leave and need to keep it up my sleeve for when DD is sick and I can't work (since we aren't even in winter yet and she always get colds, ear infections etc). I've always had the day off for transfer. Has anyone else worked on transfer day? I could do a half day at work then leave, say if transfer was after noonish (last time was 1.15pm). I guess I will judge it on my work load at the time and what I'm working on. Sometimes my job is super stressful and other times not too bad.
I always find it hard after transfer to know how far to go in terms of 'taking it easy'. What does everyone else do?? When we got pg with DD we went to a spanish coooking class the night of transfer day - it was booked in long in advance and after already having BFNs when all I did was lie on the couch for 3 days, we thought why not?
I came back to work post transfer... Which might make you want to do the opposite!!! Hardly a walking success story here :)
Could you swap a day at work for a different day off?
Ha ha Joeve ;)
Work days are pretty much locked in due to daycare arrangements. But good idea though! We haven't told anyone we have started IVF again, we want to actually try to make a 12 week announcement like 'normal' people! So even our parents and my bestie don't know. I think I will work in the morning and take the arvo off if I think I need it. I've got about 10 days of annual leave so really that is quite a few, wouldn't be so bad if I used a few of them. Also it was quite nice for my last transfer as I took myself out for breakfast, did some window shopping, had acupuncture, had lunch, had transfer and went home to the couch!
Reading through my IVF booklet- soooo much info to take on!
Emma, I know it's seems a lot now but the whole precess was easier than I had thought and turned out to be not as scary.

First time is always freakier and scarier than the others.... Let's hope that's the only time you need FX
Thanks mrs Mac!
I'm just trying to learn about what will happen, so I'm not surprised.
I've never had general anesthetic before, so that kinda scares me.
Oh and of course, the needles.
My FS has put me down for an antagonist cycle- that's 2 needles a day!
I'm sure I can do it!!!!!
:pray: my police check comes back ASAP!
Thanks myturn!
I'm so lucky to have you ladies here to guide me :)
Anasthetic is weird!! You are chatting then suddenly waking up! Messes with your head a bit. And weird cause you know they've been prodding around in your private parts ;)
But the drs and nurses are lovely.
Antagonist is the quicker cycle so it means you get answers quickly. But it's also a bit harder physically as your body is being pumped with mre drugs... It will be over before you know it though.
Emma- the Retrieval was the part I was most scared of and it was really over before I new it. The hardest part was waiting to go in sitting nervously in my sexy blue gown with matching blue booties. Once I was taken into the theater they got me to lay down and within minutes I was out of it and woke up in recovery. And it's true that now I have done it once Im much less worried about doing it again although I hope my FET will be all I need and with any luck you will never have to do it again after this either.

I agree it's not as bad as you expect although at my clinic they don't knock you out for retrieval and it's a painful experience even with the slight sedation they give you. Then again it was cool watching the eggs come out so that was the trade off!!
OMG Joeve, are you serious :o???? I think I'd rather be asleep for that! You're a tough lil cookie ;)
Emma, like the girls have already said, it really isn't that bad. I have heard of one girl who reacted badly to the drugs, but most are OK. For me the antagonist cycle goes so quickly, I've barely stabbed myself a few times and it's time for egg pick up! lol. Being knocked out for the egg retival isn't bad either. Like myturn said, they keep you chatting away and then you're waking up in recovery so it seems you've only been asleep for seconds. So you'll be just fine hun and I really hope your IVF journey is really short :) Now, lets pray your police checks come in nice and quick :pray:
