Hi Ladies,
I haven't been in here for a few weeks as I have been in the 2WW forum. I got an HCG of 1800 at 18 dpo, so have finally got my BFP (and pretty high chance of twins it looks, even though I only had one embie put back!!). I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank-you so much for all the support I have received in the last eight months I have been here. It has been such a struggle at times which I thought would never end. Well it looks like it has. I wish each and every one of you all the luck - no-one understands how hard this is, and so much of the time we do this entirely on our own, except for the support in here. Having been here so long I hope you don't mind if I lurk for a little while as I will be hoping for each of you the BFP’s we all deserve.

AF has arrived so I start Jabbing in the morning. Now isn't that something to look forward to lol
Lairdoz - A great big congrat girl. Well done. Hope the next 9 months are smooth sailing for you. I for one would welcome you lurking. A nice reminder of what can happen when you try.
Porsche - I am told that AF can be a couple of days late on the Synarel. So don't panic too much.
I so know I have missed everyone. Sorry. Have the most amazing headache and still not sleeping well. I feel just fine in myself but for this headache. DH arrived home last night for nine days so hopefully I will relax more and get lots of the cuddles I deserve so I can sleep.
Lairdoz: hugs again chick h&h 9 months chick wooho twins..
SAOrry no other persies am procrastinating over housework./.. just a quick update am in limbo until sat when I stop the pill and start injecting next wednesday night so until then am just lurking got a new haircut first time at the hairdressers in ten years so all ghood
Btw welcome newbies so sorry you had to join us hope your stays are short ones
Wantaminime - I was warned that AF could be a couple of days late but seeing as I hven't even O'd yet this current cycle I have no idea when I would be due? I'm CD33 today and on a normal clomid cycle I would be about a 35+ cycle.
Did I read someone mentioned lavender oil for sleep? Maybe try a little of that to help you sleep.
I've been lurking too and I'll do some personals hopefully on the weekend. I had a BFN this month and am now taking this cycle off to get myself and my body back on track for the next cycly late July.
Anyway just wanted to drop a line for Kaybee firstly I'm sorry you didn'y graduate from the other thread either. Regarding your testing its a persoanl choice I know 2 ladies that have had it done in here one has now concieved and it happened the very next cycle. I didn't do the NK test but I have had a whole lot of tests done through an immunoligist. It took me about a month to get an appoitment and he tested everything turns out I have elevated blood cells he was really nice and I only paid his fee got most of it back from medicare and he made the blood people bulk bill. Hope this helps. If you want more infor PM me
Mindhugs ~ So glad to hear the antagonist cycle is so good. How many did you end up with? FX they all fertilise for you, GL.
Kaybee ~ thanks hun, I am feeling a lot better, things finally looking up a bit. Im sorry about your 3 non-viable pgs. GL with decisions. Everyone is different but Id probably give it a couple more shots 1st and then think about doing the NK test. But then again i may feel different If I was in the same shoes, hard to say. Or like Terry suggested perhaps get some other cheaper tests done first. Wishing you all the best.
Terry ~ Hoping the time off goes quick and you get your BFP soon!
Mindhugs - maybe try typing your reply on a word document and then cut and paste so if you do lose it you have a copy as a back up. I do thaat when i type long responses.
Kaybee - Well I have lost a bit of confidence. but I think we have gotten to the bottom of it all.
I rang the nurse today and asked about the synarel interfeiring with O. She said don't worry no it won't. I then asked her if you could O withpout having dominat follicles she said she didn't think so but I should check with the Dr so she transfered me through and he was busy with a patient and to call back at 4:30. So I call back at 4:30 and he's busy again he'll call back. Ok 1/2 hour later I get a call.
He said that according to my B/t I was about to o or had just O'd and I mentioned that at the dildo cam on Tuesday there was no dominant folliecle and that i haven't had a BBT rise to confirm O. So he said well seeing as I haven't had a temp rise then then no I haven't O'd (I've been saying this along) anyway it is part of having PCO in that my LH can surge but no O happens. So long story short he wants to see me again tomorrow for another dildo cam and another B/T. he wants me to start synarel on Sunday (he already has me on synarel as of Tuesday). So synarel will wind everything down and AF should arrive. I don't know how long that will take but it's on my FAQ list for him tomorrow.
Phew!!!!!!
Good luck to you who are pill popping, sniffing, jabbing, EPU, ET, FET & Tww'ing!
Porsche - you've really had the run around, you must feel exhausted. I hope it's all sorted from here.
Kaybee - sorry to hear about your BFN. I would be wanting answer too if it were me. I'm not sure what tests you've had as Terry said there are a range of immunology type tests and there's a list in the Long Term Assisted Conception thread. I had a battery of tests done prior to IVF. I had the NK one done by biopsy when I had a laparoscopy. I told her that I wanted to be opened up only once so do everything whilst you're in there. I was very lucky and private health paid for most I was about $1000 out of pocket. You can however have a lap done through the public system so you could ask your FS about that. I have heard of it being done by BT as well, but I don't really know anything about that. As for having to miss a cycle, my FS didn't mention anything about that. She would have put me straight onto an IVF cycle but I wanted a month break. I started IVF 2 months after my lap.
Mindhugs - I hope you've pulled up okay from the EPU. GL for the fertilisation.
Loops - yay!! for selling the tractor. Enjoy your time away from the whole TTC thing.
Ferrals - I just wanted to wish you luck. I"m not sure of about E2, OHSS etc.
Sarah - Hi, wishing you luck with your cycle and hope the waiting time flies by.
Hi to all the other ladies who may be lurking around.
AFM: It's quite over in the TWW so thought I'd update here and hope you don't mind. I had some cramping over the last couple of days and feel like AF is on it's way. I have been feeling more up beat in the last few days, yay. No more bleeding since the one off on Thursday so maybe the nurse is right in saying it may have been the crinone extracting out old blood. I'm trying to enjoy my last few days of being PUPO and not really looking forward to testing. Testing seems to spoil everything - lol!! I will however probably test on Monday or Tuesday ahead of my BT on Wednesday. I need a few days to process so I can keep it together when the nurse gives me the news.
The got 13 eggs at EPU, 11 were mature enough to be used. We did ICSI and 7 fertilised overnight. Now FX for them to make it to Blast. Considering I'm in my late 30's and my Puregon was reduced to 125 units as I OHSS'd on 150 units last time - not too bad. You know what they say - it's quality not quantity. Still, it's always nice to have some in reserve - right?
I'm gonna be holding my breath.
Good luck to all of you who are jabbing, sniffing etc etc. Hoping we get some more sustained BFP's in here!!!
Thanks
