wow, this thread has been busy. I've been popping in and out and read so much I don't know where to start!
Justina - Good luck with your bloods. The FN stressed to me that even if I got bleeding that didn't mean a negative, especially if it's irregular. Stay positive!! FX'd for you!!
Trueblue - I feel for you, I really do. With so many other things going on right now you have a right to be emotional. Stay strong!
Dreamrise - thanks for sharing those stories. It really puts our own struggles into perspective. that you friend's baby overcomes this hurdle to live a long and healthy life.
Lairdoz - I like the idea of the medicare rebate... I could do with some retail therapy. Thanks for your words on stress. Going into my TWW, It makes me a bit less stressed to hear that it doesn't matter if i'm stressed!!!
Babytruj - I'm sorry to hear that. Enjoy your time away. Make sure you get up to lots of mischief... you never know!
Inshelligent - Sorry about your results. Hope you enjoyed that wine! Good luck for your FETs!
I know i've missed a thousand people, and I hope all of you are well. Good luck with everything you are doing.
AFM - ET DAY!! 6 embies made it to this stage. So I guess 6 is my new lucky number?? To tell you the truth, I was a bit upset when they said only 6. I guess it's the hormones?? I'm really feeling the progesterone, but I was wondering, does OHSS go away straight after the egg collection? I have been sore and I can feel my ovaries aching... strange! I've got 3 days of bed rest planned and DH has agreed to wait on me hand and foot... so sweet. I'm gonna give this little embie a very comfortable home to burrow into!!
MiniMe, good to hear 6 embies made it this far! FX transfer goes perfectly today! As far as I know, OHSS usually sets in a few days after EPU (early onset) or a few days before a BFP (late onset). I know it can also happen earlier, but I think these are the two most typical scenario as it is usually the hcg (from trigger for early onset or pregnancy for late onset) that sets it off. I'm usually pretty bloated for a few days after EPU and I did get that bloat return a few days before my beta, but I haven't had full blown OHSS (thankfully).
Justina, I had light bleeding (red and then brown) last week for two days before my beta and was sure I was out. Turns out it was implantation. Try not to give up before you get your blood test done. I hope you get the result you want today! Which Spring Hill are you talking about? There's a few in Australia. If you're in Brisbane then I go to Jenny Byrne at East West Fertility at Ashgrove. She's pretty highly regarded and I have been very impressed with her. I haven't heard anything about a clinic at Spring Hill, but that doesn't mean anything.
Hi all
Im so sorry want to do persies but I just havent got the time and have struggled to ctah up - there is so much going on in here.
To Babytruj and others that have had difficult news and BFN's - im so sorry and feeling for you - big group hug. Hang in there and keep trying - we can all do it!!
Hi to the newbies and wishing you all the very best!
To all those currently waiting - fingers and toes crossed for you all. And GL to those jabbing sniffing etc.
AFM ~ Have just ovulated about 6 days ago and have been getting hopes up because Ive had some strange tummy pains, back and neck pain (same as what I had with last BFP) and a lot of mucous (sorry TMI). So Im hoping but trying not to get too excited. Guess I'll be testing after the weekend - dont think i'll be able to help myself but I'll see how strong I can be.
Big hugs everyone and sending out lots of babydust and stickyvibes!!!
xoxo
aagghh...was just at the end of a long post and lost it when I accidentally touched a wrong key.
Loops - you go girl, a natural BFP would be fantastic, crossing my fingers for you
Minime - hope your transfer went smoothly and the embie is making itself comfortable for the long haul
Justina - I seen a lot of girls on BB who bleed before getting their BFP so hang in there. If you do need further tests, and hopefully you wont, I saw a thread about this in the Long Term and Assisted Conception page. I asked my doctor to give me all the tests named in here. GL with your BT
Trueblue - make sure you take some time to do something nice for yourself
AFM: I have my down reg scan tomorrow so hopefully I start stimming tomorrow. I try and make a nice morning of it (well as much as you can before work) and go early read a book or some work stuff and have a hot chocolate. Not looking forward to the scan as I still have AF. Saw my naturopath today and feel like I've paid a small fortune...I keep forgetting about that IVF payment on my VISA.
Loops: fx'd chick and remember if it's a bfn it's not over till the fat af sings
LisaB: I have been doing things for me had a loverly relaxing bath last night and just relaxing I am back to work tommorrow woohoo have missed the cows so much woohoo as of tommorrow only 7 days to go till bt... and the days should go quick tommorrow is back at work and also a dairy expo we are going too, friday am working plus I am getting my photos ready for a comp the following weekend my mum and dad are coming this weekend and mum's taking me to SATC2 then monday is just another day at work but tuesday we have a farm walk, wednesday normal and then woohoo it's d day so really the days should fly by it would be so loverly to get some more bfp's in here it certainly has been a slow month
Well, I'm sitting here almost literally twiddling my thumbs. I hate the waiting game...
Juniper - Thanks for the kind words and the sound advice. I don't think I have OHSS, just some stomach cramps. I hope they don't affect implantation though.
Loops - Good Luck, FX'd for a natural! That would be great!!
Lisa B- Hope your down reg scan went well and you can start jabbing yourself as soon as possible!! Thanks for the kind words!!
Trueblue - Good luck getting back to work. I'm sure the time will fly!
AFM - Had my ET yesterday. They said I had an excellent expanded blastocyst and the doctor upped my odds by about 5% (still at a 50% chance). That made me feel really good, but I was terrified that it was going to fall out!!! They have a really old lift there and it bounces you when you get to the floor and I was pretty much freaking out, then a nice nurse told me how my endometrium was like a jam sandwich and it couldn't go anywhere, even if it wanted to. That made me feel a bit better. Bed rest yesterday, and today pretty much the same. I don't want to rush back into my normal activities, I need some 'me' time.
Hope everyone is well, GL with all your planned endeavors.
lairdoz I think your clinic is right ovulation day is coounted as zero. Don't stress they know what they are doing I too have been confused in the past
Kaybee what an amazing story fancy being pregnant and not knowing it I'm thinking quite a few of us in here would love to be in that position
Loops good luck and I pray AF stays away and all the weird things you have been feeling are you little one snuggling in for the next nine months
Justina so sorry this wasn't your month glad to hear that you already have a plan and are moving forward. Just remember though to take some time for yourself and let all your emotions out before you start
LMM I don't think a drink on the weekend will harm your eggs remeber they take months to form and then get to this stage so a drink now want make any difference and plus my acupunturist said that its ok to have the occasional drink in moderation if it makes you feel better. We cant deprive ourselves of everything
AFM had another scan this morning and am doing a trigger tonight. My FS doesn't want to wait for natural ovualtion as last month it took ages and she feels that may have contributed to my negative result. I have my FET scheduled for Tuesday doing some more acupunture tomorrow and then I'll be on asprin and pressaries after transfer. Feeling good about this one DH gets to come for once so maybe everything is finally aligning for me
Loops: aw hun hugs but loike I said it aint over till the fat af sings... lol
Terry: Goodluck with your trigger
AFM: Have been having some weird twinges on my right hand side of the tummy am hoping it's our bundle burying down for 9 months yesterday was milking and I went to go put a set of cups on and I all of a sudden felt like someone had piched me really hard on my right hand side down near uterus and also on my left nipple at the same time it hurt enough for me to drop the cups only lasted about 2 minutes
This morning dh came in and he'd washed his hands with an orange hand wash and it was too strong to be near him!!! Also I have been eating like a horse but am only able to eat small amopunts at a time and I have had to stop having coffee as yesterday monring I almost vomited in the cow shed and felt yuck had been happening for a few days felt alot better this morning am soooo hoping all these signs are good 6 days away seems too far
that you friend's baby overcomes this hurdle to live a long and healthy life.
