hi all
thanks again for all your lovely thoughts yesterday - and good luck to everyone on the ride this month!
was just talking to a friend of mine who had been trying for her third child for over 18 months - and she's succeeded! Turns out that the bext strategy is going out, having far too many wines, and doing the baby dance. I'm going to give it a good whirl in a couple of weeks, I think!

Keen- good luck with your transfer
Well Amanda, it can't hurt!!!
Hi guys I am hoping for your help.................
The last four nights I have not been sleeping well. Its not like After ovulation, when I get pregnant insomnia, its a really disturbed sleep
I kind of doze and when I do I have these horrible dreams which I dont really remember except for how horrible they make me feel. I toss and turn and cant seem to get comfortable at all which make me very tired during the day(and it does not help that this week I am looking after a very active 19 month old) So I am bone tired all day and to top it all off I am on the pill at the moment for this new IVF cycle and it has turned me into EVIL ***** MONSTER FROM HELL
Its almost 6pm and I am so exhausted. going to bed early does not help(tried last night) and Its driving me mad what is making my sleep so bad at the moment.
Its not the IVF(I dont think) but I think if I dont get some decent sleep soon I am going to go off the deepend and probably at Martin which I really do not want to do right now with the IVF coming up!
Does anyone have any ideas?
A on what could possibly be causing it? and
B Ways to help me sleep?
I have tried
warm milk
warm relaxing bath
Massage
Staying awake till I cant keep my eyes open any more
thanks in advance guys!

HI Cazz,
I don'[t know what could be causing it, sorry, but I find that a warm cup of milk with nutmeg alsways helps me sleep. Also if you have some horlicks that is really good.
Hope this helps you get some better sleep.
Love
Ali
Cazz,
I'm battling the insomnia monster as well, and there's no advice that will help, except that stressing makes it worse.
I hope you get a good night's sleep soon.

Well, both embies thawed just beautifully! So we now have two little ones on board.
My progesterone levels are a bit too low, so they have upped my pessaries to 3 a day.
Im very very excited and hopeful....again.

Cazz - perhaps give a little lavendar oil a try. A tiny bit on the back of your neck or on your temples is often good.
Trish - heres hoping 11 November just suddenly comes around before you know it.
Ann - havent seen if you have posted.... am hoping like crazy that you havent yet because you are just too damn excited and happy [-o<
Thanks to everyone for your hoping and praying - heres to it doing the trick!
Cazz
I can't help either I have the same problem off /on and the crazy dreams to boot - I know I always sleep better after a bit of :bd: It is so frustrating to have insomnia.
I just let it go and at one stage I [-o< for everyone I could think off and I nodded off pretty quickly sometimes. :sleeping:
You sound like you are trying all the right things. Maybe you are worried about something deep in subconscious - like you & SIL cycling together.
Keen - =D> fantastic news
Keen that's fabulous news!! Come on bubbas - burrow in!! Am sending you two truckloads full of :bluestick: and am having some more shipped in!!
Keen - FANTASTIC NEWS!!!! I'm so happy that both your precious embies are back where they belong. LOADS & LOADS & LOADS of sticky vibes your way. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ali xxxxxxxxxxxx
Congratulations Keen. Hope your 2 little embees are getting nice and comfy in there.
I have everything crossed for you :pinkstick: :bluestick:
Love
Sue
Cazz - sorry to hear you're not sleeping. I've got a few more suggestions: Are you exercising just before bed time? probably too knackered huh. Exercise is supposed to make you sleep better but not if you do it just before you go to bed. I used to try to get into DH's breathing pattern when he is asleep - slow deep breathing, not the snoring. I also use chamomile tea - 2 bags with some honey.
Hope that helps!
=D> \:D/ Keen Congrats and hope all goes well and your 2 embies stay where they are put.
Guess what Ladies ](*,) yet again my levels were not up to scratch. Last Monday Way too Low, Saturday Too Low, Monday E2 too low, Tues E2 & LH - E2 great LH not quite very slow moving. Wed (tomorrow) a PROG & a LH. Nurse thinks it may be it tomorrow so maybe baby transfer just this month on Friday or just Oct Sat as it is 2 days after O levels are good isn't it?
Thanks again for being here [-o< for tomorrow to be it and get all go and then that the 1 embie to be transfered thaws and implants and stays around for good.
Chele
yes they transfer embies at same stage they were frozen at -
better luck tomorrow that LH rises & progesterone -then E2 is suppsoed to start dropping.
hoping it all happens soon
Hey Trish Thanks
Considering when they were frozen I was not ovulating normally but only due to all the drugs by injection and the pill etc does that make any difference? I have only been Ovulating since march.
Thanks for tips all these abreviations LOL here and with IVF he he what is the world comming to hey :D
Chele
the day of egg pickup is always classed as day of ovulation -doesn't matter how long it took to get there or and if they were day 2 embies and frozen they put back at same - as this is when uterus is in right condition for the embie -hence monitoring oestrogen - and sometimes they measure endometrium lining too to be doubly sure.
It took me ages to get abbreviations -there is a thread for them explaining
Cazz, I am an old insomniac from way back too. I find for me, I wake up during the night and cannot stop my thoghts racing round my head long enough to sleep! I was like this for years and couldn't find something that worked til very recently. It sounds silly, but it works brilliantly for me. Sad part is, I got it from Tim on Big Brother :oops:
Envisage yourself sitting on the beach at the waters edge. Its not too hot and not too cold. Start writing numbers in the sand, start at 100, then see the water wash it away and write 99 and so on. I swear to god I have never gotten below 40 or so, ever! It might not work for you, but it focuses my head and stops the thoughts racing for me. Can only try!
PS Excellent news Keen!!!! Burrow in little ones!
thats a good idea Kelly =D> I will try that too
Keen - what fantastic news that both embies made it to your belly! These little guys and gals are gonna stick - I just know it! I hope the next 2 weeks fly by for you. So excited for you :D
