Saffy, I was really sad to hear your news :cry: :hug: Take care, and I hope you can try again soon xoxo
Hi everyone thankyou for the welcome
Saffy so sorry to hear about your loss:hug:, be gentle with yourself
Oh Saffy so very sorry this happened...:grouphug:...it is just not fair.
Bring on 2011 and your BFP...
Saffy I hope you're feeling better today. As oneday said a BFP is a step closer to a baby. I used to feel so disappointed with my mcs especially after the extra effort it took us to get a BFP. But now I do feel closer to acheiving the goal and I'm more determined than ever to keep trying.
AF turned up last night so I'm able to fit in our last FET. It's a HRT FET and I've started taking Progynova. I'm very nervous about putting myself through this again.
Best of luck to everyone in their cycles. Lets have some more BFPs in here for Christmas.
Hey Chicks,
I have been so busy lately and DH has been hogging the computer so I've only had time to pop in and have a quick read without replying.
Saffy - what a devastating end to your cycle. I hope you are being very kind to yourself - can you book in for some pampering somewhere? So sorry :comfort:
Loops - Where are you up to in your TWW? I'll have to google your DHs filmclip - how funny!
ehm - You must be getting bombarded with information after getting your diagnosis. I know it must suck, but if that is what has been causing your infertility then hopefully your problems will be over very soon. Good luck with the gluten free diet and your next cycle
Aimee - hello. Sorry to hear about your ectopic - that must be so rare with ivf/icsi. All the best for this cycle. I have never used orgalutran, but I hope it goes easy on you.
LMM - Don't feel like a princess for having a whinge. I know it feels really selfish sometimes because there is always going to be someone who is worse off than you/me/us, but it doesn't mean we can't still desperately want a baby and whinge about it when it doesn't happen (yet again). Anyway, hope your results improve this week.
Oneday - twingy ovaries - how exciting!! Mine have been pretty tender too and scans have shown it's all happening in there, so it must be a good sign FX
Happybaby - good luck on the HRT FET. I agree that it's a really anxious time starting a new cycle. Hope this is IT for you
And everyone else - hope you are going well with your jabbing, sniffing, waiting, etc
AFM - my scans and E2 levels are all looking good so EPU is this Thursday. Trigger tonight. DH and I have been thinking that this cycle might be our last - whatever the results. I can't keep doing this indefinitely. I hope it works, but need to move on if it doesn't.
Well lovely ladies, hope you're having a good day xx
Hi Lovely Ladies
Kaybee ~ All the best for Thursday hun, will have FX'd tight for you for some great eggies. Thanks for asking about my TWW. AF should be due very soon but knowing my body after these stims it could be another two weeks away or more. Really hard to say. Im trying not to think about it all too much. Just enjoying life as much as poss. Def do the same if youre feeling that way inclined if this one doesnt work. Even if its just a break for a few months - I think we need that step back sometimes because this certainly does take a toll on the emotions and relationships etc. Goodluck though hun, hope you dont have to worry about any of that and instead get to worry about morning sickness, sleepless nights etc LOL. The film clip is on Utube. Song is called "Dirt". Its pretty raunchy LOL
habbybaby ~ goodluck with you FET, FX'd for a BFP christmas present.
Aimee ~ hi and welcome. Sorry I must have missed you. Goodluck with lucky no 3!
Hi to all and hope everyone is well. Group hugs
Saffy - I popped on today to catch up and I am so sorry to hear what happened, as everyone else has said its just not fair. Big hugs to you, if there is anythign I can do or you want to chat just pm me.
hi to everyone else, hope all your cycles are going well
Well i had my blood test today and my E2 is over 4000 :o! i really respond to this stimulation stuff im only on 125 puregon a night. So im going down to westmead tomorrow for my ultrasound so i have my fingers crossed so tight that everything will be ok, if my levels are where they should be do you think egg collection will be monday/tuesday next week or earlier? Im so excited but nervous for the results, im hoping everything will be ok, a cycle wouldnt get cancelled due to being a little high would it?
Kaybee goodluck for thursday and im glad everything is looking good :) yay we will be in the 2ww wait together, are you having day 3 or 5 embies put back in? And i know what you mean about giving up if it dosn't work again, i think about how much we would go through before we give up but im keeping positive, this will be the one for you and me :) xxxx
Oneday & Kaybee: Looks like we'll be in the TWW together ..well thats if my body can work out what to do ..Good luck for your scans, hope you get some juicy follies as Saffy calls them :D
Loops: Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on things. I'm off to watch the raunchy video. I feel you frustration, my body does whatever it damn well pleases on these drugs and coming off them. You must be feeling better for it.
Ehm: I guess now you can start putting that part of the puzzle together now and get your body in tip top to a sticky bub...big changes ahead but its good you know now, as hard as it is.
Aimee: I'm doing an angtagonistic too this cycle, hopefully it works for you too.
Happybaby: Looks like there will be plenty of us in the TWW before christmas, hope Santa is good to us all this year..I've been sooooo good LOL
Saffy: How are you mate..been thinking of you lots..hope your little miracle on 42nd street happens today with your bloods...I was on the highest dose of puregon last time and this time..well see ???
Hi to everyone else I've missed.
AFM: Bloods and ultra sound on Friday, still feel like nothing is happening down there. We are going ahead with whatever is there...if anything.
Starting to feel a bit festive..not long now til the tree goes up...
I LOVE CHRISTMAS
Hi girls- thanks for the messages, it helps a lot x :grouphug:
oneday-well done on your levels- good luck for scan today, don't know about cycles geting cancelled for being too high- only if you get ohss?? Not sure really.
kaybee- good luck for epu- I hope you only need to do this cycle- cos you get a beautiful bfp!
happybaby- thats good about the FET- I wonder why some people do the natural FET and some the HRT?- I will have to ask the FS.
springlola- how are you going mate? Have you started jabbing? (sorry I've lost count of where everyone is up to)- hope its going well x
Loops-glad you are enjoying life, i am looking forward to a christmas season of getting drunk ( rather be UTD and abstaining but hey, may as well make the most of it) does the stim cycle stuff up AF's arrival?
hi to Aimee, nicoleh (thanks hun), ehm, littlemissmountain, kass
AFM- off for BT today, have been bleeding and cramping constantly til last night and then suddenly it stopped- thank god! Will book in for FS as well. Feeling better today, might take next week off and go to Adelaide for the week as DH will be there for work.
Hope everyone has a good day x
Hi ladies :) yay springlola goodluck for friday! i bet there is some juicy follicles growing!
Saffy how did you go today? im glad your starting to feel a bit better and going away sounds like a great idea xx
AFM had my ultrasound today and the reason for high E2 levels is due to lots of follicles growing, i had one at size 22 but the rest are only around the 10-11 mark (need to be around 17 before trigger) so not ready yet so im going back to the clinic on sat for another scan, looks like EPU will be mon/tues will know on sat after scan. Im excited and nervous and a bit bummed they wern't ready yet as EPU would have been on friday! but anyways im sure mon/tues will come around quick enough.
Now i have a very important question to ask you all, what is everyone thoughts on embryo age, westmead like to use day 2 for fresh cycles and day 3 for frozen, my other clinic they were all grown to the blastists stage. The nurse said i can discuss this with the scientist on EPU day going off the quality of the sperm and eggs but not sure how to make the decision, she said they have had alot of success with day 2/3 ones but my concern is with my first STIM i got 15 eggs, 10 fertilised and then 6 died off over the next 4 days (so i only got 4 embryo's) so if they put a day 2/3 back how are we to know if it is an embryo that would have failed over the next few days if they were to grow them longer? Im sorry to blabber on but im finding it hard to know what to do?
Hi Ladies. Just testing whether my new iPhone app works...,,
Apparently it does, but I now can't read anyone's posts while I am typing.
Hope you are all well, and good luck to everyone coming up to EPU and transfer. Hope we get some Christmas babies in here soon!
Saffy, how did your test go? Hope you are doing okay.
Oneday, in terms of embryo age I think you have a higher chance with a blastocyst, but the downside is you don't get as many embryos. They don't yet know whether an embryo that didn't make it to blastocyst would have survived if it was transferred earlier. The benefit of blastocyst is it might reduce 'time wasting' with non-viable embryos. I did a blastocyst at my last transfer, but I am wondering whether I might revert to day three for the next one for the psychological benefit of having a transfer and potentially some embryos to freeze. My FS will only do blastocyst if there are enough embryos. At the end of the day I think it's s personal choice. Sorry for my rambling on the topic.
AFM: Saw the FS on Monday, and it was not the conversation I was expecting. Apparently the eggs degenerated due to infection by a bacteria that was picked up from me at the EPU. He has never seen this before!! He is recommending the same protocol with a course of strong antibiotics ahead of any future EPU. That's twice now he has told me he's never seen anything like it before - apparently I am very unique and complicated! Am week one of my gluten free diet. It's not so bad and really hoping it makes a difference with the next cycle. Aim to get my body in shape by then.
Morning ladies
Oneday ~ What ehm said is correct - blastocycts are supposed to be better quality and with less than 5 days they dont actually know what the qualtity of the embryo is like. Ive now had two blastocycts transferred the 2nd of which implanted but then failed at 5weeks or so but then the last transfer we did was two 4 day embryos. So that did get me thinking, perhaps the 4day embies werent good enough quality??? So personally even though we still didnt get any to freeze and have to do another stim - I want to do blastocyct again because Id rather have a greater chance than getting hopes up with a 3 or 4 day, if ya get me. But in saying all this - Ive heard lots of people have gotten BFP's from a 3day. Whatever your decision I'll have FX'd tight for you. Goodluck.
SpringLola ~ thanks hun. Did you watch the video LOL? Goodluck on Friday, :crossfingers:! I love Christmas too - looking forward to it!
Saffy ~ same here hun, would rather be celebrating being PG with family and friends rather than getting drunk but because Im not PG I'll def. be getting drunk LOL. Hugs though - I know it will be tough xo. Yeh my body always stuffs up with the meds but in a couple of months it should be back to normal.
Enjoy your time up at adelaide xo
ehm ~ Unique can be good hun ;) Hope they can make sure it doesnt happen again. Goodluck with the bod, Im on weight watchers trying to get mine in shape for summer and just to help me feel better and it seems to be working :)
Kaybee ~ thinking of you today and hoping you get some great eggies, :crossfingers:
hi to nicole, LMM, Kass, habbybaby, True, Aimee and anyone else I may have missed, hope you are all well xo
AFM ~ I think AF is just about here, Im at CD30 today, my cycles are normally about 34 days but I think it could come anytime soon due to the meds. Ive got quite a few AF type signs right now. Have FS appointment next Thursday so that will be good - lots of q's to ask him for the future.
Loops- yeah bring on the alcohol- I had a glass of champagne last night and was off my face, so don't think I will be indulging much-haha, have lost my ability. Good luck next wek at Fs, it s good to know you can ask all your questionsx
ehm- thats strange!! God, isn't it awful to be the one that weird stuff happens to, at least there is a known cause that can be prevented next time, you are making your FS earn his money lol!
oneday- I don't know much more about it than what everyone else said, mine were blasties and obviously implanted so they got that far. Hope your other follies catch up x
Springlola- good luck tomorrow!!
AFM- had my blood test yesterday and the hcg level was 6 ( has to be under 5 so I have to go back for another test next week- typical) Seeing FS in a couple of weeks.
I'm pleased because on Tuesday night the bleeding basically stopped and is over, so happy its done and I can move on, I've heard of people bleeding after a M/C for weeks.
I phoned my boss and asked for A/L next week and she forced me to stay home today as well, I feel like a fraud cos I'm just doing xmas shopping but its probably for the best given the nature of my work.
Hi to everyone else- nicoleh, kaybee, kass, LMM, happybaby, aimee xxx
Hey Ladies,
Loops - I watched the filmclip - is that you carrying the water jug?:lol:. I loved it! Hope your appointment next week sheds some light on things for you.
ehm - How are you going, you complicated thing? Saffy's right - you sure are making FS work for his (her?) money. I guess, the more info they have the more they can finetune your treatment, but you are probably sick of hearing that by now.
Saffy - so glad things have started to settle down for you. Hope you are enjoying doing your chrissy shopping - remember to get something nice for yourself. Adelaide sounds nice - any time away is a good idea I think
Oneday - I can't really add anything to the debate, as everything I know has been said already. My clinic does standard 5 day transfers. I would discuss it with your FS to make sure they do what is best for you - not just a one-size-fits-all transfer, IYKWIM.
AFM - they got 10 eggs today and the clinic rang to say they all look good and so does DHs sperm, so will find out in the morning if any fertilise, then will get updates over the weekend. Is everyone else's clinic this good with sharing info???
I'm feeling really crap now - nauseous and sore, and to top it off DH has been really funny the last couple of days. I know this isn't a marriage forum, but just wondered if it was common around treatment time. I'm sure it's not just because of the hormones - he really has been saying some insensitive things and I feel like I'm in this alone. Anyway, yay - 10 eggs!!!
Sending lots of :bluedust::pink-babydust: out there for all of us deserving ladies xxx
Saffy ~ yeh I probably wont be drunk but Ill have a few. Im a bit of an alco though LOL so I can hold my liquer pretty well. Enjoy your champas and Im pleased your bleeding has stopped and not much to go - you are nearly there and you can move forward. All the best chicky xo
Kaybee ~ 10 eggs YAY! I think its pretty normal for the guys to get a bit emotional and moody. But I hope he looks after you because you really need to rest. No cooking etc. Will be keeping FX'd they all fertilise and grow and divide nicely. My clinics only told me about fertilisation - didnt ring me with updates.
Yeh I wish that was me in the clip LOL and I wish DH looked like that guy LOL. DH does have a pretty good bod though so I can't complain.
Hey there beautiful ladies :hello:
Sorry i've been absent lately, been a busy bee but have been thinking of you all. Forgive me, I have a bit of catching up to do!!:oops:
Saffy so so sorry hun :hug: A week off will do you good...have you not heard retail therapy is a proven treatment!! :lol:I know after my m/c's i just wanted to hide from the world for a while and not have to deal with people...everyone! Take the time to pamper yourself, relax and be super-dooper kind to you and your DH. Thinking of you xxx
Kaybee, you little chookie....10 eggies is fantastic! I'm lucky if i even get 2! Everything crossed for lots of strong embryos.
I need to read back a fair bit to see where you are up to, but will be back in here more often now (hopefully, work has settled now)
I've picked up all my drugs from the clinic and everything is all ready to go but now just waiting for AF, its 4 days late!! I think after my m/c in august my hormones are still trying to get back to normal? Does anyone know any ways of making AF come on? I've heard there are ways to help coax her out!!
Hi to everyone, have a lovely night and....keep hangin to hope (i know i do, its the only thing that keeps me "sane" through this nightmare)
Hugs & kisses
xx
