I've been obeserving from a far for the past few days haven't really had much to say.
Juniper you have made me feel so much better about the stress bit no matter how much I try I cant help but stress even just a little while going through a cycle. You really have proved what a lot of people say as wrong.
Kaybee we all freak out at times but through this process you will learn what an amazingly strong women you really are. We all have our ups and downs but we all want a little bundle of joy so much we just dust overselves off and get on with it again.
inshelligent so sorry that you didn't have success this cycle. Hope you enjoyed your drink I must say that I too enjoy a glass or red at times like that. Be kind to yourself enjoy your little break and come back stronger than ever.
To all the others I've missed hope you are all travelling ok.
AFM had my scan this morning have a follicle growing although not as quick as FS wants my last cycle was really slow so she thinks this may have been reason why it didn't work. Am now on estrogen tablets twice a day and have another scan booked for Friday if I haven't surged before then. Here's hoping that number 7 is lucky for me
LisaB: Thanks chick it's not all that hard and have decided that when we do get pregnant am going to make alot of the clothes so much cheaper. And am getting hubby to make some of the toys as I love the old fashioned wooden toys but seeing as they are classed as vinatge now come with a bit of a price.
Inshelligent: aw hun hugs that sucks big time. Lol on the wine... dh and I have decided if this round doesn't work were dissapering for a weekend and getting away
Kaybee: Yes it's hard to not think of stuff I want to make for the baby or the nursery but it keeps popping in my mind and I have to remind myself not to get too hopeful yesterday I found myself putting a watch on pregnancy books on ebay that all go off the day after we find out. I had to stop myself.
Lairdoz: Thanks chick yes I wake up in the morning and realise how far away the 10th is then I get to the end of the day and go wow today went quick the day will be here before we know it
Terry: Good luck and hope that fridays scan brings good news.
Went for a BT yesterday and found out the HCG levels have dropped too low, so it looks like a Chemical Pregnancy.... I won't be trying again until October. My hubby is away for a bit, and I have a couple of trips coming up, so want to enjoy those, and start afresh after a big break. I don't think I could even think of trying again next cycle. It would be too hard....
Good luck to everyone in here, and I hope when I come back, a lot of you have left this thread!
Lisa B - best of luck with the scan today. hopefully youll be jabbin away soon, and enjoy ur hot choccie too!
Loops - ohh a surprise natural pregnancy would be lovely, fingers crossed for you. i have heard lots of stories of couples falling while in between ivf cycles, hope you are one of them.
Terry - good luck with the FET
littlemissmoo - sounds like 4 could be your lucky number!!
Babytruj - so sorry to hear you had a chemical preg, i have had a few of them and it just s%#ks! we work so hard to get a positive results and then the excitement and hope comes crashing down at the next bt. just have to pray that next time it well & truely sticks take is easy, be kind to yourself xxx
Justina - did you have ur bt yesterday? maybe it was a bfp & you are still off celebrating, oh i hope so!
MiniMe - fantastic effort!! 6 perfect embies, i would be over the moon to get 6 embryos as i usually only get about 2 or 3 if i'm lucky. When is the transfer?
With regards to the stress issue, as Lairdoz said IVF is a stressful process in itself and lots of women get preg with ivf!! I have come to accept that anything can happen during an ivf cycle and i try really really hard to take each step at a time. its so hard to do but if you can try and not "run away" with your hopes and dreams and just tackle each set of results as they come up then it can help i think...the number of follicles does not necessarily represent the number of eggs you will get....the number of eggs you get will not necessarily be the number of eggs that fertilise...and the number of fertilised eggs you get does not mean that they will all grow to day 3 or day 5 and be transferred. Anything can happen in this game and i think the trick is to expect the unexpected...or try not to expect anything at all and maybe be pleasantly surprised!!
Anyway, sorry am blabbing on a bit. Big hello to all the lovely ladies here who i have missed, am sending lots of calming vibes and good positive energy your way.
Still waiting for the wicked AF to show, she is usually a few days late
take is easy, be kind to yourself xxx
