LT TTC & Assisted Conception May-June 2010

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

Hi Ladies

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.

Hi lovely ladies,

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.

Hi ladies,

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.

Hi everyone
I doing a FET on Friday. Up until now I've been feeling good about it, but I'm starting to worry that it won't survive the thaw and that's all I can think about :( Is anyone else at the same stage?

Gday loverly ladies just goty off the phone to the nurse af came a day earlier than expected stopped the pill on sat so we are doing the bt a day earlier so tommorrow monring and then definately starting injections on thursday night more bt's next week and also the ultrascan end of next week and then all looking good for insemination hopefully on the 12th or in the days following sooo woohooo very excited it's come round alot quicker than I thought yay...
I feel like running round the house jumping for joy anyone would think we just got a bfp lol but am just so excited to get stuck into round two and get into the crazy tww hopefully with a good ending this time...
Amy: firstly so sorry you had to come in here and so sorry to hear about your devestating news about no sperm dh must have been shattered but congrats on taking the huge leap into donor sperm so that you can both have your precious bundle. Hope your stay in here is a short one
Kass: Chin up it's normal to think the worst hopefully you get a wonderful result and remember even if you only get to one that's all it can sometimes take goodluck for friday you'll be fine and so will the snow babies

Hi wonderful ladies
Popping in again LOL

Mindhugs ~ :crossfingers: that they all make it to blasty! Or at least that you get a few to freeze but most importantly one or two really great ones to transfer. GL hun xoxo

True ~ So excited you get to do another round now, will have everything crossed for you guys, well almost everything LOL. GL with the jabbing etc.

Porche ~ thanks hun. Wishing you all the best with your cycle, pill popping etc etc. FX for you!

Amy ~ Hi and welcome. I hope either DH's tests come back good but if not you guys can move onto using a donar. No matter what happens, I hope you get your little miracle ASAP. Wishing you all the best with the journey!

Lisa B ~ thanks hun. I have FX and TX for you! Continue to enjoy being PUPO!

Kass ~ GL with the thaw hun, will have F and T x'd for you.

Hi to anyone ive missed and all the best ladies.
AFM ~ AF finally arrived, had about a 45day cycle. Shorter than the last ones though so maybe my body is getting better and better and hoping its back to normal next one. Im not gunna track ovulation or anything just going to DTD as much as poss LOL ;)

Kaybee ~ Just been reading your posts in TWW and Im so sorry things have gone they way they have for you - :hug: I know what its like t have that glimmer of hope then it is taken away, so really feel for you. You are 1 strong chick.
Just wanted to share that a work colleague of mine had 2 early miscarries and another loss but now has a a beautiful little girl. Dont give up, GL for your next try hun!

Hey lovely soon-to-be-mums-to-be,

I'm just popping in here quickly before settling in for a very lazy evening on the lounge with too much chocolate - but had to see how everyone was going first.

Loops and Lisa - thanks so much - it's crazy how some kind words from people you've never met can make such a difference!

Loops - I love your plan to just through away the thermometers etc and just have lots of BD. Have fun!

Trueblue - you sound like you're on top of the world - an attitude like that is an awesome way to start this cycle. Hope all goes smoothly for you

Kass - your embryo will no doubt be fine. I can't see your signature in this view, but don't you have 2 frozen?? So, if one fails they just thaw the second one - too easy. I thought and felt the same as you though for all 4 of my FET's. It's just that strong strong painful desire for everything to work. Fingers crossed for you

Amy - hi and welcome. Sounds like you've had a bumpy ride so far. You're in good company here!

Porsche - How are your ovaries going? Has your FS given you any clear answers yet?

AFM - still bleeding but hcg is still present (too low to be a pregnancy though) so I can't start another cycle until it's all out. It's so frustrating. I really don't know how much more I can take of this

Hi
thanks for your reassurance -I know I'm over thinking it. You're right Kaybee I do have two so I'm not really in a bad starting point. It's just that I know that one of them isn't the best quality. My fs will only let me have one back regardless, but they thaw the best one first so my worry if that if the best one doesn't thaw then the not-so-good one definitely won't. Last time I only got to try twice, so I am really happy that I've got a couple more left to try this time - just need to stop expecting the worst!

Kaybee I hope you can start again soon - I'm sorry it didn't work out this time
Trueblue you sound so positive! Good luck!
Loops -sounds like a good plan

I hope things are going well for everyone else!

Hey ladies

Well I could hardly believe my ears this morning when I was told that I finally got a BFP :dance:

Think I'm still in shock but am totally over the moon.

I truly thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for all of your advice and support. Although I've only been posting for a few months, Belly Belly has been a fantastic resource for me over the past 2.5 years.

I'd like to wish everyone all the best in their TTC journeys and I'll certainly be popping back in here to see how you are all going.

Wishing you all BFPs in the very near future.

Gosh....now to work out what hospital and OB.

Take care
J

Justina congrats hope you have a h&h 9 months woohoo
Kass: wait for aq couple of weeks near the end of the tww then I don't sound so positive lol more like neurotic lol ah we all get like that it wouldn't be normal if we didn't having a bit of a teary feeling night I looked out the window at our two oldest dogs ted who I have had from a pup before I met dh he is 5 and Tonka who dh and I bought together who is 21/2 they have had three litters together and love eachother so much well to continue with my story lol I looked out the window and they are curled up under the verandah keeping warm curled up together like a ying and yang sign they are so beautiful I started tearing up then I looked at our other two dogs one who is 6 months and one who is ted and tonka's son who is 12 months both sprawled out without a care in the world and just laughed.. dh is sound asleep looking so child like on the couch and I am having a chamomile tea to help sleep and try and get rid of the teary feeling. I think I am just exhausted
I'm looking forward to the tww having 5 days off
hugs everyone sweet dreams

Hi all,

Sorry I have been MIA. And I still don't have time for perssies. Is that time of year and seeing as I am in accounts I am flat out. Good thing as it takes my mind of the TTC rollercoaster.

Hope you are all well

Hi Ladies

Justina Congratulations.

Kaybee - No clear results as yet but I'm on BCP and start sniffing on Saturday on prep for AF and stims so I'll hang out until then and go from there. I'm a bit boring atm lol. No new progress. :hug: I wish our bodies would hurry up and do what needs to be done so we can start over again.

Hi ladies

I had previously introduced myself in https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ml#post2372177

I have found out my trigger is today at 7pm and have collection on Friday. Just starting to crap myself a little. Egg Transfer is next Wednesday.

Trish

Just wanted to say a quick hello to all the ladies, congrats to Justina of your news, and heres to some more BFP's this month!

Trueblue - I can totally relate to the neurotic feeling:)
Trishy - good luck for your collection and transfer - don't get to stressed about the procedure, it's all over really quickly. I don't remember a thing of mine past the needle going in!

Hi ladies,

Trishy - good luck hunnie, hope it all goes well.

Porsche - I wish I could turn the pages on the calendar and have time go really quick for you.

WMM - hope your doing well, good to see you are distracted even if it is by work.

trueblue - It's just such a hard ride. I'm glad your having some time off during the TWW. I hope it makes it go faster for you.

Kass - GL for you next transfer, I hope it's the one.

Justina - a huge congratulations hunnie. I hope it's smooth sailing from here.

Kaybee - I'd be on the verge of tearing my hair out myself if I was in your situation. I hope the next cycle will be your lucky one. Thanks for you support during my rough times. I've really appreciated it.

Loops - good on you for putting down the TTC shackles.

AFM: well I have good news. My BT was today and my HCG is 444 and P4 90 (i'm on crinone). I now have to wait for my 2 weeks scan, sounds a bit nerve wracking. I know I haven't been here long but I want to thank each of you for your support to me. I can't express how much it has meant to me. I feel guilty that my BFP (providing it sticks) was on my first cycle. I don't feel it's fair as so many of you have been trying for so much longer than me. I hope you will join me really soon in the pregnancy forum. I will be lurking, stalking you and quietly cheering you along and can't wait to hear good news from each of you.
xxxxx

I did the injection and it was no way as bad as what I thought it would be.

Thanks Kass

Time for a new thread.

Sorry for the stuffed up link...again...
