hey ladies, well yesterday was an eventful day, i was at the napeon hospital from 8am-9pm with my sister in labour so im now a proud aunty again to a little boy! great day but makes you want it even more!
TF is tomorrow! im trying not to stress and not think about it. we got a text yesterday saying the embies are growing well and on track so is there still 5!!! i hope there is a few. Iv has some what feels like period cramping but i know this could be from the crinone and injections? well i hope thats what it is! still a little tender, its taking me forever to recover! Sorry for TMI but being my first time on the crinone i dont know, iv started to notice there is some crinone when i wipe going to the toilet so when in the shower are we supposed to clean it out up there? or just leave it? sorry
Goodluck happybaby and kaybee, whens your BT kaybee?
Springlola im glad you got some eggs, lets hope this little one sticks xxx
Moonie goodluck and welcome! not sure what that is in size compared to mine cause they told me mine in mm i think, they said they should be around 17mm before you trigger to release them.
Congratulations oneday - were you in the room with your sister when she delivered? Wow! All the best for tomorrow - hope everything goes smoothly FX FX
Monnie - Hi and welcome - may your stay be short and sweet (if you know what I mean). Your scan seems fine - maybe go back through this thread to see what others have had. Things can change a lot from the first scan. I think I had a few more at my first scan (maybe 6 or 7 on each side). I guess they've increased your dose either to get more follicles or help the ones that are there get bigger. Everyone will tell you though that the number doesn't matter - it's the quaility that counts. All the best!
Happybabby - Jumper leads!!! Wow - that outta do it. I love acu too, but haven't been able to afford it this cycle (oh poor me boo hoo LOL).
Hi Lovely Ladies
SpringLola ~ thanks hun, yeh I think May will come round pretty quick, esp with Xmas and New Yr and lots happening in January. We were going to wait longer but the FS said dont put it off too long if you can help it. (I wonder whether he just wants the money though - I dont think he' that sort of person however). So happy for you you finally have a transfer. Will very tight for you that its a real sticky one!
Monnie ~ All the best with the IVF for #2! Sounds pretty good so far - I think I had about the same follies my first go and I hope you have some others catch up. I think anywhere from 10mm to 20mm is a good size. but the closer to 20 the better - but you still have a few days for them to grow - esp with them ^dosage. Goodluck, FX'd for you!
Habbybaby ~ goodluck!
Oneday ~ Congrats on the birth of your nephew. My sis is due mid Jan and I can't wait!
Its pretty normal for lots of Crinone to come out. I think most of it must stay up there but I know - it feels though it wouldnt be working because so much comes out. I think it'd be fine to wipe clean a fair bit. How good is it that we can talk about this stuff with each other and not be embarrassed - its great because we all go through the same thing. All the best for tomorrow, xo
Kaybee ~ thanks and hope you have a lovely weekend as well
Thanks Kaybee and Loops i was in there right up until she started to push, i was supposed to be in there for the whole thing but her hubby decided he wanted it to just be the two of them, which is fair enough, when my time comes it will only be me and DH. This site is great Loops, i would be lost without it not having anyone to talk to or ask questions that know what im going through.
Enjoy the rest of your weekends ladies, im cooking a baked dinner for my DH
No hope at catching up on all the events of the last week so will just wish you all for your various epu's, transfers, twws and bfps!!
Springlola- O.M.G.- I told you he was a pr*ck!! Well, I won't dwell on that only say WOOHOO for your transfer- hope you are flat on your back resting up and good luck for your tww- don't be scared, be excited girlfriend!
Congratulations Aunty oneday!! Don't worry about the crinone, it does come out a fair bit.
Welcome Monnie-I think someone told me once the follies are expected to grow 2mm a day, don't know if that helps or if its even accurate! So when are you having another scan? They need to be near 20mm but I'm sure I had some that were counted and were around 12 or 14mm, can't remember actually. Good luck anyway!
Happybaby- hope the lining is getting fluffy- rest up hon!
Loops- glad you have a plan, praying for a miracle in the meantime for you x
Kaybee-fingers crossed for you- I tested at 9dp5dt on my acupuncturists advice, hope your tww isn't too bad x
Hi to everyone else I can't do anymore persies as too tired from gardening all day. Adelaide was ok but i was a bit up and down, everywhere i look is pregnancy and baby announcements, it is getting me down ( but i hope you all get bfps of course xx) Its been good to have a break from work and now i feel ready to go back. FS appt this Friday.
Oneday - congratulations on being an aunty again, wow so special being with your sister through labour too, but a bitter sweet time aswell. Hopefully it will be your turn this month! Glad things are looking great for your transfer tomorrow, once the crinone turns to "cottage cheese" (sorry tmi) I try to get rid of it otherwise it seems to accumulate.
Kaybee - hope the TWW isn't dragging too much for you!
Springlola - yay for transfer, fx over the next 2 weeks
Loops - hope you get some answers from your tests!
Welcome Monnie! Hope your follies are growing nice and fat
Happy Baby - hope your lining is thickening up nicely too!
Tantee - sorry I lose track of everyone in here, have you had your transfer yet?
Hi jayejaye, saffy, nicoleh, and lmm, hope you are all well!
afm - I saw my FS on Friday, he couldn't believe I was ok, he said he thought I would be waddling in hunched over in pain, but said I could have my transfer on Monday! yay! since then though my stomach has bloated I look about 6 months pregnant and will probably have to avoid going out in public for a while!
I was just giving myself a lecture today because I didn't start my progesterone on time!!!!! But then I read my instructions again and one said to start after transfer and one said to start the day after EPU. I started tonight and transfer is Monday, I hope I haven't jeopardised my lining
Hugs to everyone - hope your cycles are all going well fx for some strong bfp's!!!
Hey Kaybee.......i'm so excited for you....YIPEEE!!!! A second line is a BFP for sure (i've never had a false positive)..WHOOHOO...bring on tomorrows BT
I need some help ladies...how do you all cope being around friends with small kids & babies around xmas time? I am usually pretty good and supportive for my friends and sit and listen to the whinges and complaints about their kids and babies...and also listen to them say how wonderful it is being a mother and how its the best thing in the whole wide world (yes they all know i've had 4 m/c and still no baby yet!!) ...but in the lead up to xmas i'm just not coping with seeing them. My DH & I have been waiting over 6 years for our miracle to come along and since then have seen ALL of our friends have a baby (or two) ...but here we are still waiting I guess its pure jealousy, but i can usually put up with it and deal with it...but i've just HAD ENOUGH!!! All i want to do is hide away from everyone this christmas and not want to put on the "happy" face and blah blah blah....sorry for the moan, think its the drugs getting to me at the moment as well.....just so over this C%&P...sorry
Anyway, would it be wrong to not see our friends over xmas...make some excuses? Or should i just suck it up, get over it, put on a brave face, soldier on...and then go home and cry?
I'm not as strong as I thought i was, even after 4 years of ivf its still so bl00dy hard
Hi everyone!
I miss a week on here and now i'm so far behind with you all...sorry. I've been trying to stay cool, calm and collected for this cycle and trying not to think too much about it but...YEAH RIGHT!! Its so hard to not get worried or too hopeful or carried away etc etc Anyway, had 1st scan this morning and typical...just 3 follicles. Still too small at this stage so another scan on sat. Thinking epu on mon or tues (if we decide to go ahead )
All the best happybaby for tues, and oneday86 everything is crossed for some BFP's on here for xmas...that would be so noice!
Loops, my AF was late too for this cycle so I got my herbalist to make up a concoction and within 24hrs AF came....have you tried seeing a herbalist for fertility (sorry, i cant remember) I've been on herbs for about 3 months now and im feeling heaps better both physically and emotionally, whether it will bring me a sticky bfp is yet to be seen but if nothing else i feel heaps healthier now
Good luck nicoleh...we will be having epu around the same time!
To everyone on the 2WW...stay chilled, relaxed and think lots of happy baby thoughts, wishing you all the very best of luck, i really hope we all get miracles for christmas!!
Yogi - let's hope those follies ripen up and invite some friends by Saturday.
Happybaby - how many are you transferring on Tuesday? Hope it all goes very smoothly for you.
Loops - I know what you mean about the ivf drugs. They don't do what they're supposed to do when we're on cycle (i.e. get us UTD) but then they mess around with everything for ages after. Thinking of you!
Nic - how did your scan go yesterday? Any idea when EPU is going to be?
Ladies, I'm hearing ya on the chrissy bfp's - that would be so so lovely, wouldn't it. I'm hoping that my BT tomorrow will be the start of a run of bfp's in here. I've had a second line when I POAS, but the BT is the one I'm waiting for. I haven't got any symptoms really but am hoping and praying desperately.
