Sorry to hear that Kaybee:hug:
Loops - good to hear about the new job and a happier DH! Good work with the ww!
Terry - hope your pickup went well and you're enjoying your time off before transfer
Are you starting your shots today oneday? Happy things are happening for you - I always feel pretty good to get to each next step :)
Hi to everyone I've missed - hope you're all going well
afm - still in my extended tww, no symptoms other than no af. Hoping my levels are rising quickly enough.
Thanks ladies for your congrats to DH and my WW.
Saffy ~ I've heard the chemicals at the hair dressers arent good, but I too am not really sure just how much it would affect things, sorry. If it were me Id probably just wait.
Alice ~ thanks heaps. I hope you are also happy despite everything xo
Kaybee ~ Sorry it was a BFN hun :hug:. I too know how hard it is when other family members and friends are having babies - feeling for you. I hope you can try again real soon xo
Kass ~ that is so great no AF and +ve tests, super excited for you. GL and FX and TX.
Hi to all and hope everyone is doing well. Goodluck to those waiting etc.
AFM ~ Think Im O'ing or am just coming out of O. We've DTD a couple of times and might a couple more but wont be holding my breath too much.
Hello everyone
Oneday - I'm in Melbourne and going through Monash IVF. They close on the 17th of December so AF needs to turn up by the 27th of Nov for me to fit in another FET.
It will be my last FET too. :pray:
Saffy Have you always had 2 embie's transferred? I was going to have 2 last year but I changed my mind just before the transfer (from a stim cycle). I think I will have 2 transferred if I need another Stim cycle next year.
All the best everyone. It's feeling great being back on BB. Still taking some time to get to know all the names and where you're at.
x HB
kaybee - am sorry to hear that the tww is so hard, when is your bt? I have lost track a little but how many days past transfer are you? I did not get a result on poas till 11dpt.
kass - that all sounds promising fx for you - someone in here has to get a bfp
oneday - time for you to start jabbing yet?
saffy - hope you are going well after transfer
terry - hope your epu went well and you got a nice number
loops - things sound like they are going well - good luck for a natural little miracle
hi and well wishes to everyone else
afm - still battling the whooping cough and trying to process everything that happened last week. See fs next week and am hoping I can cycle again in Dec
Hi girls,
Nicoleh- I feel for you- I got sick after my last cycle was cancelled and it feels like your body is kicking you when you are down, I hope you get an improvement in your whooping cough and you can start to try and feel better :hug:
happybaby- this is the first transfer I've had- my 1st cycle was cancelled, we were going to do one then but as I am now 38.5, just thought this time- I'm desperate, go for broke! lol
Loops- hope the ww is going well, I think i am just going to get my hair done, it can't be that toxic or we'd all be growing 2 heads by now. I have bad skin from the crinone, excess kilos and I can't bear to have bad hair too- I need to be able to go out in public!
Kass- fingers crossed for a rise in levels and :noaf:
Kaybee-so sorry you got a bfn before visiting the new baby- its not immature at all, I get jealous feelings like that all the time- that must have been tough and you were brave to go, I hope it is still too early and you get a BFP atthe end xxx
Alice- I'm sure my acupuncturist would say no to the hair dye but I am going to do it anyway ( see my comment above to loops) I'm a rebel i know. I forgot to tell you I made a nice cake last week and thought of you, it was apple and maple cinnamon cake but i used golden syrup instead of maple.
Terry- how did your epu go?? Hope you got lots of eggys and you are feeling ok too. Good luck for Saturday- go Day5 transfer!!
Oneday- have you started your jabs?
AFM- in my tww, I think I am going to try a reverse psychology trick- I will write up a list of all the things I am going to do if I get a bfn- eg diet, drink champagne, ( I know those 2 don't really go together), go camping etc.
Kaybee im so sorry :( i hate seeing BFN's in here!! I hope your coping ok! it really is the hardest thing trying to be happy for everyone else thats pg or that have babies! But you will be oneday holding a baby of your own too so stay strong xxx
Yes ladies im finally starting the lucrin tonight, yipee im so excited!! Everything went well, they seem lovely at westmead and two good things to start off with- I will be getting $500 back off the clinic so we will only be out of pocket $950 (this was the no claim option) we would have got back $700 but this is our 2nd STIM this yr. And we also get money off the gov to help with travel expenses as we live 100kms or more from the clinic! Im so stoked with this :) Iv still had some spotting but nothing to worry about, i stop taking the pill tomorrow anyways and the nurse said i should get a period on the weekend or before.
Just a question, have you ladies kept your ovidrel and puregon injections in the fridge? I know with the lucrin you have to, the other injections say store below 25c but i put it all in the fridge, i guess it shouldn't matter should it?
I hope everyone is doing well xxx
Oneday - sounds like you've made a good move switching clinics! I always keep my puregon in the fridge, and take it out a few minutes before doing the shot - less chance of bruising that way! Is ovidrel the trigger? If so that lives in the fridge too :)
Saffy - I do the same thing! It's nice to have something to look forward to after bad news so I've usually got some champers in the fridge, or a nice bottle of red on standby.
Nicole - hope that whooping cough clears up soon - sorry that you've been so sick
Happybaby - fx af shows up in time!
Loops - thanks!
Hey Kass, yes i also think we made the right move :) yeah the ovidrel is the trigger shot, its all in the fridge and im pretty sure that i kept all of it in the fridge too last time regardless of what the box said. How are you going? x
So my last day of taking the pill today so im hoping AF comes on in the next few days, has anyone had any probs with her coming after being on the pill? My first shot of lucrin went well last night, its funny because it feels like it was so long ago that i have done this (feb/march) but once i got that injection ready it all felt like it was only yesterday! I got a bit itchy from the injection but funny because i did too with my first shot of lucrin the first time!
Also ladies thought id let you know my nurse told me lucky i didn't want to use the synarel spray instead of the lucrin cause i prob wouldn't have been able too. Australia is low on it at the moment and they may be discontinuing it? If you are through westmead this costs an extra $200 ontop of the initial fee xx
Saffy, I completely understand with the hair dying - nothing makes you feel better as much as a good haircut and colour. Hope you enjoyed the pampering! Mmm cake sounds great, think I need to do some baking today...when do you test by the way? I've lost track. You've been very quiet (if you are going crazy) so I'm hoping that everything is going along perfectly. Grow embies grow!
Kass, I have a good feeling about you! When is your bt? Be great to see some BFPs here. Good luck!
Oneday, glad the injection went well. I was the same last IVF, you sort of forget then it seems like you only just finished taking your last injections. I'm really keen to see how you go through Westmead and how it all works for you as next year I think we will try one last cycle there if our frostie doesn't thaw out/take. Good luck!
Just a quickie from me today, got to clean the house after weeks of neglect. Feeling much better in myself now, looking forward to the end of the year and my brother coming up to have Christmas with us. I also have some exciting news... I won a scholarship to do some study overseas next year. I applied for it as a plan B if our IVF didn't work out so now that it is actually happening, I'm starting to get excited about it. My DH is taking his long service leave so he's coming with me. We'll be gone for four months which is the longest I've been away. I'm nervous about it but think it will do us the world of good to have some time away from life at home and TTC. I hate putting off trying again with our frostie but my body is all over the place and I think psychologically we both really hit rock bottom this time so we've decided to just do it. Anyway, that's enough from me! :hug: to everyone having a hard time and :stickyvibesgirl: to everyone waiting for good news x
Alice-:happyforyou: congratulaions on the scholarship- what are you studying and where? How exciting, I wish I could go overseas for awhile, no chance with our finances!
Believe me, 4 months wll fly when you are doing something new and exciting! I lived in London for 2 years (ages ago), it was awesome!
I am switching between being calm and getting hysterical- I am 4dp5dt ( so 9 dpo)- should I be feeling anything yet?? I have no symptoms whtsoever and am so scared it hasn't worked, or is it too early?? I am even contemplating doing POAS soon- ridiculous i know. I have a full wekend of social activities coming up and don't know if thats a good or bad thing, if I start spotting/AF I will be a mess. My blood test is next wednesday, so a week away, I'm sure I will have had af by then. BOOHOO! (crazy enough for you? lol!)
Oneday- I think I got AF a few (3-4) days after stopping the pill, that was when I was on syneral, the next time I wasn't and she came about 1-2 days after stopping but I was spotting heavily through that whole thing so it all blended into one- gross I know. I have 1/2 a bottle of syneral left maybe I can sell it on the black market lol
Kass- hope you are still cruising with no af!
AFM- just took my cats to the vet for vaccs etc and got a gold star for the weight loss of one, he was porking up a bit but is now trim and terrific! Now off to the hairdressers, I am being paid tonight and this plus the vets expense will leave me with a zero bank balance til then, should have timed it a bit better really. Have a nice day everyone!
G'Day everyone,
I recognise a few of you lovely ladies oneday86, Loops, Kaybee hello again, but sorry to see you here. Hi to everyone here, just a little intro from me...
...i've been on a break since my miscarriage in august. I started seeing a herbalist and getting super-fit blah blah blah and all that!!! Anyway....finally i'm back here and getting ready to start ivf again, this will be our 8th ivf egg collection in 4 years. I feel like a real ole chook with this game!! :lol:
I need to read over this thread so forgive me if i'm a bit slow in what you are all up to, i look forward to getting to know you and i'm keeping myself wrapped in the yogi position for lots of great news to come real soon :pray:
Have a lovely night girls and keep the faith!
xx
Alice congrats!!! that sounds great! And i too believe it will be great for you and your DH to get away for a while and think about something other then TTC because it does start to consume your whole life! I wish you all the best with it and hope its just what you need xxx And i hope you decide to go through westmead iv only heard good things about them and the amount you save compared to other clinics is crazy!
Thanks Saffy! im hoping AF comes in the next few days, she said if it hasn't come by the 16th i need to call them so not sure what that will mean? Im glad your cat is loosing some weight, its so easy to over feed them cause they cry all the time to be fed!
Yogi bear welcome back but sorry you have to be in here! I cant believe how many STIMS you have done, you poor thing this is only my 2nd and i already dont know how much more i can handle! but i know too i could never give up. I wish you all the best for this next cycle and really hope this is the one for you xxx
Alice - congratulations! How exciting! Sounds like the ideal way to take a break from ttc for a while :D
Hi yogi - Good luck!
oneday - fx af shows up soon!
My test is tomorrow - haven't been able to think about much else today! I still have no physical symptoms. Still doing poas - the second line is nice and clear - definitely stronger than this time last week, but still not as strong as the control. I really hope it's rising enough. How long should it take to be as strong as the control line? Any idea what my level should be now? (was 25 a week ago)
I'm making myself just a little crazy with waiting. I think if it's meant to double every couple of days then it should be at least 300 tomorrow - and that should be a pretty strong poas result! Why isn't it? I really hope it's ok.
Kass? What did I miss?? I didn't realise you'd already had a positive POAS (or did I? sorry a bit vague today!!) That's GREAT news! I hope your levels are really good tomorrow - my SIL didn't register as pg AT ALL and my niece is now 1 1/2 so sometimes it can go a bit slow. Good luck to you - can't wait to hear. We need some BFPs here, you ladies deserve them so much.
Thanks Saffy! I'm so nervous about the whole thing - had a few glasses of wine tonight to calm down and a big bit of chocolate! I got an email this morning with the dates and it will be 5 months, not 4, that I'll be away so one month without DH which will be a bit of a test. We are pretty independent of each other but I've gone all sooky today about being there on my own for 4 weeks. I'm doing a Masters degree in Fine Arts so I'll be heading to the UK to study. I've always wanted to live OS for a while so it will be a great experience and I have two good friends already in London so it will be an adventure. Not a bad Plan B after all and hopefully I'll still be able to give things a go when I get back. And I don't want to see any familiar names when I get back OK! Pg forums for the lot of you FINGERS CROSSED x
Sorry Yogi Bear, welcome back and best of luck to you. I'm just lurking for a little while longer but hope I'll get to see you on your way before I sign off for the year. I had five months off this year too doing what you've done - herbs, exercise etc. It gives you a much stronger chance. Hope all goes smoothly for you after all your hard work - best of luck to you x
Hi Ladies
Just a quick one from me.
Thanks for your wishes and support once more - you ladies are the best!
Nicoleh ~ hope you are feeling ok hun and getting over that whooping cough. Hope things are starting to improve - big hugs
Oneday ~ hope the jabs are going well, most you put in the fridge but not the antagonist one Orgalutran. Goodluck for your up-coming scans etc
Saffy ~ hope you are loving your hair do, I hear you as I desperately need one myself LOL
Alice ~ very big congrats on the scholarship - very excited for you. That will be a nice little change for you both :) xo
Yogi ~ wish you didnt have to be back and could be in the PG threads but welcome and I really hope your time in here is short (meaning that in the best way). Im starting to catch up with 3 stims and looking at another later down the track. Good luck hun.
Kass ~ really hope the HCG has doubled and right up there, will be thinking of you tomorrow and FX'd tight. As hard as it is try not to stress - just think you've got this far you can keep going :)
Hi to all and good night ladies, sleep well xo - group hugs
Hey Ladies,
Kass - best of luck for tomorrow! I have everything crossed for you! :goodluck:
Yogi - hello again! Looks like we might be cycling together again.
Saffy - I'm hearing ya on the expenses thing - everything all at once! I never know about the hair dye thing either. So many issues that 'normal' women don't gave to think about. I'm sure the good vibes you get from looking and feeling good will outweigh any of the bad stuff.
Alice - massive congratulations on your scholarship! More details????
Oneday - glad it's going well so far
Nic - :hug:how are you feeling? It must be even harder to deal with everything when you're sick. I know how you feel (I think) about wanting to get going again. Me and DH were talking about it today saying we won't get all down and depressed (sure!). We will just keep moving forward. When do you see FS?
and everyone else I've forgotten - hi - hope you're going well.
AFM-
Just wanted to say thank you for your kind words and support. I POAS again this morning and still nothing. I am so gutted. I rang the clinic today to ask if I could possibly go straight into a full STIM cycle and they said yes. I wasn't really expecting this and have to make a decision very soon, before AF arrives, if it's what I want to do. I still have 4 frosties, but the 5 best ones have already been used and haven't worked, so I feel like just starting again. But then, what if the next one is the one? You know what I mean. I am so over this process. I feel like a gambler, throwing all of my money and hopes into something that just never eventuates.
Ahhh, anyway. Have a good night chicks
Kass- when i got my BFP i was at 75 7dpt mine then doubled after 2 days and then again after another 4 days but then after that it slowly went down. I was told the hcg level should double every 2 days but sometimes it can be a bit slower or faster. Goodluck today i cant wait to hear your results xx
