Hope you're all out enjoying your weekends (not sitting at a computer like me).
Terry - thank you for your advice about the immunologist. I've just done a blood test (they took 13 vials) so maybe I should see if that shows anything up first. Then I would at least have those results to show the immunologist.
Lisa - thanks for your info too. The FS didn't say I would have to take a moth off, but if I was having a biopsy this month it means having a general anaesthetic so I wouldn't be able to do ivf until the month after, that's all - I'm just getting impatient.
Mindhugs - your numbers are great - hope they keep doing all the right things over the next few days. When is your transfer?
I've got an appointment with my FS next thursday to decide what to do next. Has anyone done a natural FET cycle, not with HRT? I've only doen HRT ones and you have to start taking pills on day 2. So, I'm thinking that seeing as I'm bleeding now and have been for a few days that next thursday is going to be too late to start, unless I do a natural frozen cycle.
Anyway, have fun with all of your popping, jabbing, inserting(!), etc
Well we finaly have the same page with the FS. We have agreed that I'm not ovulating and I still have no dominant follicles. So I'm pill poping for the next 16 days. Halfway through pill poping I'm to start sniffing again and then we go from there I guess that is standard procedure. I'll get my BT results tomorrow and I have to ring FS at 7am. Much more happy with this now that we have the O or not O sorted. DH SA came back glowing which is just great something else for him to brag about lol.
LisaB - FX that that cramping is your BFP waiting to be discovered.
Mindhugs - Yay! I can't imagine getting that many eggs. Hope your not too tender.
Loops - Congrats on selling the tractor. Eases the pressure a little.
Terry -
Good luck if you are taking a break, pill popping, sniffing, jabbing, EPU, ET, FET & TWW'ing!
Kaybee - I did 3 natural FET's. I fell pregnant on my 3rd in Feb this year. At the time I had extensive endometriosis too (which we found out months later). This is our angel baby at 10wks. But I love natural FET. Nothing to worry about - very easy.
Porsche - once they got you all sorted out you will pull numbers hun. Luckily for me it's one of the few things I DON'T have to worry about.
AFM - nervously waiting to see if my embies make it through. I lost 7 out of 10 last time going to Blastie. I'm hoping that by using ICSI this time I lose less, since we only have 7 fertilised. My transfer should be Wednesday. My FS is away and I have another FS they call "Lucky L" (won't put her surname in here in case I get in trouble - but happy to PM for those living in Queensland who want to know - this FS seems to achieve where others fail.....)
POrsche: quick question have they looked for a cyst? that's what happened with my first cycle the synarel caused me to have a cyst which in a bt sjhows as really high e2 levels mayeb ask about a cyst and if they say don't know i'd be looking for a new fs but yeah before a scan the nurse said the bt was either me going to o or a cyst so give that a go
Mindhugs: fx'd and hope that you get those results you want try not to go too crazy in the tww
Hello everyone else hope your all doing well
AFM: Have been working this weekend so am exhausted but good stopped the pill yesterday woohoo so just waiting for af between now and wed and then bt on thuesday and start jabbing that night woohoo can't wait am excited as there is no suppressing this month no stopping anything just encouraging were hoping this makes a difference. DH sat down with me the other night and said if this round doesn't work then he doesn't want to waste any more money on ai he wants to go straight to ivf this shocked me in a good way. This year there have been so many babies born around us it must be the baby year so it has to happen lol..am all excited at the moment in august my sister is moving back to vic from darwin while her hubby is over in afghanistan so am excited to meet my new neice as I haven't seen my lil sis since christmas when she was only 5 months preg I think and then in september my husbands sister is having her baby so more exciting stuff then we found out yesterday our neighbours who are great friends of ours who were begining to think kids would never come they weren't trying but they weren't not trying either if it happened it happened and they are close to 40 so this will probably be their one and only well they will be due in dec they kept it quiet from us as when they found out ti was the day before our insemination so was wonderful of them to think of us but it was awesome news to hear so lots of babies everywhere... anywho am hybernating between milkings today too cold outside so am going to do some baking hugs everyone
Trueblue - I have cysts anyway due to the PCO. My EZ was down not up and my LH was up. When I had my BT in Feb my EZ was up and my LH was up and I know I O'd then because I was UTD. I haven't bben on the synarel for that long only a couple of days so I doubt that would have had an effect so quickly. But I had another dildo cam yesterday and nothing had changed from the Tuesday.
I just though i'd pop in and introduce myself. My name is Amy and DH and I have been TTC for about 26 months now. Ive popped a bit about our history below.
We had our first appointment with the FS about 8 weeks ago. DH has had 2 tests so far that have shown no sperm at all present in the sample. We thought it was just a blockage but that has been ruled out and we have been left with some rather upsetting news.
The Dr got some info from both of us, how long we have been TTC etc, then took DH off to examine him. As soon as she walked back in, she said it was def not a blockage.... my heart sank.
She said she thinks DH has an abnormality with his DNA and he is missing part of the Y chromosome in his DNA. He has had 4 blood tests done.
They have said if two of them come back with nothing then there is nothing that they can do and we will need to use a sperm donor, if they come back ok then they will need to go in and see if they can aspirate them out and use them for IVF.
So off we went on our holiday to Greece for 3 weeks and came back. (This was 5 weeks after the tests had been done), the results still havent come back and now our FS is on holidays!!!
We go back to see her on 7th July to get the results and to schedule everything in ready yo go. They said that DH and I will go into different hospitals at the same time, I will go into one to have my eggs collected and DH will go into another to have his sperm aspirated.
We have already had out HIV and Hep blood tests done, when we go back on the 7th we will have our counselling session as well. I think we will have to wait until the start of Aug to start our first cycle as AF is due before our appointment.
Amy - hi there, I remember you from the 6 month TTC thread. You've been through a lot to get this far. Greece sounds like a perfect holiday. HOpe the time goes really quickly for you and you will be on your new path to TTC in no time.
Trueblue - I hope all those babies around you is a good luck charm for you. GL for this cycle.
Porsche - I'm glad you are back on track. HOpefully the cycle will be smooth sailing from here.
Mindhugs - HOpefully you will have nice blasties waiting for you. In terms of the 'lucky FS' it could be your good luck. i'v read that IVF success is not only about embryo quality and uterus receptiveness, but the transfer plays a really big part in it too.
Kaybee - GL with your next cycle. I don't know much about HRT and natural FETs. If I need a FET I will probably need some type of medication as my hormones are out of sorts - I ovulate too late and have a short LP.
Hi to everyone else, wishing you heaps of luck where ever you are at.
I won't do an AFM update as I've put one in the TWW just before.
