Firstly CJ I am sorry about your result, try and stay strong sweetie, i know it is hard, but it is the best thing you can do for yourwelf.
I also know what you mean about your age, I am 30 going on 31, and like Melbo says we arn't that old yet.... but you still panic abit, for some stupid reason....??? i keep thinking, technically i have 4.5 more years until my fertility slides!!!! This TTC thing can send you bloody bonkers!
Leis xx
sorry to hear the news cj :hug:
i have heaps of creamy cm around my cervix and today its got blood! i am only 7dpo and am so worried as i was in hospital last night and took panadeine forte and heaps of tummy prodding.
I dont want to get my hopes up but if i fell preg this last month before ivf, im sure i would cry for joy for 40 weeks non stop!
eta: temp dip today too
Good morning Ladies,
CeeJay - :hug: for you hun. I'm so sorry about your results. I couldn't even imagine how you are feeling. But you are far from too old. A ladies at work is 47 (yes 47) and she's just had her 3rd IVF baby. Chin up, smile and have some chocie.
Danni - Where the doctors aware that you could be pregnant at the hospital? Did they test? If you're day 7 and some spotting with a temp drop could it be implantation? :crossfingers: that is what it is. I'd wait and see what your temp is tomorrow. Praying for you babe. I'm going to cry with you when you get your BFP.
:hello: Firemansgirl, Melbo, Janee, Lil_chookie, Char & Cherie. How you girls doing?
Me, nothing at all to report. The days just ticking by but I've got a few busy weeks ahead. I leave my job Wednesday, go to residental school June 25th for a week, start my job, begin studying full time and get all the results from my fertility tests and treatment plan to get us pg on July 3rd. So hopefully the time will go quickly but the 3rd July is taking ages to arrive. I just can't wait to get started on our treatment.
Have a great day girls and pop back later on.
Cheers,
Dan.
oh dan you just made me cry! i think you have done that numerous times now! Im gunna make the whole world cry with me when i get my bfp ;)
Danni, Dan might be right - could certainly be implantation on 7DPO and is often a little blood at that time too... I :pray: for you!
im getting excited but not too excited. what can i do to make it stick? i wanna put some super glue up there and woosh it around!! :cryinglaugh:
CeeJay I'm sorry about your result, my sweet. I know what you mean about worrying that you're wasting time, but you aren't over the hill yet! Lol!
Danni :crossfingers: that it's an implantation bleed!
Good afternoon Ladies,
I'm on a study break after I have finally started my assignment. Have to have it finished by Sunday. Apart from that there is nothing new on our TTC front. Only 16 days until our gynie appoitnment.
Danni - Your chart is looking really good. How many days until you are testing. I'm praying and sending you soooooooooooo much goodluck and babydust.
CeeJay - How are you going girl?
A huge hi to everyone else and I hope you guys are really looking after yourself.
Cheers,
Dan.
hey dan ;) probably test tuesday. I have sooooooo many "preg symptoms"....i wonder if its all in my head again! :cryinglaugh:
Hi lovlies,
It's quiet in here at the moment, where are you all??
Dan - yay for the study break, enjoy it!! Only 16 days until the appointment, hope it goes quick.
Danni - fingers crossed for you sweets, can you hold out until Tuesday?
Shan - where have you been? hope all is well.
Jane - same as what I just wrote for Shan!
Leis - :hello: I missed your post from the other day
Okay confession.......
I missed the gym yesterday for the first time. I am full of excuses but I just didn't have time. We were going into a friends place close to the city for dinner and I had to do the shopping, clean the house, prepare some bits to take. But we did go out last night and I danced and danced and danced (even have blisters on my feet) so I am feeling less guilty!! Although all the wine I drank probably didn't help LOL.
i dont think i can hold out until tuesday. this is the worst feeling in the world! :(
Danni why don't you POAS tomorrow... i don't know how you can hold out for so long? Leis xx
Hi everyone
Sorry been a bit quiet, had heaps due at uni and then had my 17 year old nephew stay a few nights so couldn't get a look in on my own laptop LOL he was on msn with the girlfriend.
Not much to report here. It is officially one month until our appointment with the new FS and there will be a bit more baby making activity in the next few weeks, DH has his follow up SA which he is extremely excited about LOL:p then the follow up with the andrologist and then the following week we have the FS. I am just looking forward to being out of limbo, I am not a patient person as a rule but I am quickly learning.
Danni - keeping everything crossed for you.
CHookie and Shan - how are the health kicks going? I went to my dietician on Wed and I am back into keeping an eye on what I eat and keeping my blood sugar levels on an even keel and I am starting to feel better already, hoping it will help with PMS and she thinks it will definately help with coping while on IVF.
Dan - isn't a study break fantastic?? I am loving mine
Big Hi to everyone else
Now I will probably drive everyone mad counting down the days can you all believe I have been waiting for appointments now since last Nov? I highly recommend NOT ever changing FS if you can avoid it this is getting ridiculous:doctor:
Danni - PMSL about whooshing super glue around in there! Actually, last IVF transfer we had DH asked the Doc if he could use Velcro! He just laughed! But, hey - we were serious! Well sort of, anyway.
Hope everyone is doing well and busy off BDing - catching those eggies, or the embies are busy burrowing!
:bfn: this morning guys. Did i really expect any different?
i am all outta confidence for this last natural cycle now.
Now i am not very positive bout ivf next week either. I honestly feel like I may never be a mum. And i am busting my ass right now trying to save the THOUSANDS of dollars and what if its all not worth it?
I am a very impatient person at the best of times and i dont know how im going to "soldier on"
Im sorry for ranting and whinging, and i dont expect a reply. i just needed to let that all out.
i love you and i hope everyone else gets bfps this month
keen: i dreamt about you getting a :bfp: last night. i bet you will this month ;)
Danni - try not to stress, if you are only at day 26 it might be too early to give up.
Big hugs to you
Danni, sorry to hear about you BFN, but Jano is right, it might be to early yet!
On another note a very wise person once said to me "you do everything in your power to have a baby, so that if it doesn't happen, you know you have done everything you can" so whether that be scrimping and saving all that $$ for IVF do it. But in saying that Danni, you will be a mum... try hard to stay positive...:)
Leis x
Danni, I felt the same on my last natural cycle before IVF. It's so easy to believe that it isn't going to work and that you will never be a mum. All I can say to you is that there are a lot of people formerly from this thread who have babies now when they didn't 12 months ago. Hang onto that for all you're worth ... I'm so looking forward to seeing you girls over in the pg threads before much longer.
Love,
Mel
Dear Danni....sending a huge :hug: to you....but it isn't over till it's over.....hang in there. I shall keep everything crossed for you!
Hope everyone else is good....currently I'm having a s@#* of a time with MIL syndrome.
Anyone else have issues in that department? Doing my head in right now. Big fight resulted with DH and of course, happens to be smack bang in the middle of my cycle - probably ovulated today - great timing! Thanks MIL! you're the best birth control ever.....anyway, enough whinging from me.
Take care all
Janee
Janee - YES I have one of those. She had the gall once to laugh about the horrid time I have with PMS. Don't get me started about when we miscarried, I had a huge fight with her and she didn't talk to me for months after, so no surprises that she has no idea about our fertility issues. Gosh we don't need the extra grief.
Danni - how are you going, I hope you are feeling better
Big Hi to everyone. I am absolutely exhausted tonight, and have spent the entire day thinking about having babies, gosh it's hard it's so close yet so far away...makes me sad and excited all at the same time. As of tomorrow 4Weeks to go.
Girls there is a thread i think in the boohoo punching bag section of this forum about mother in laws.. it is great to read and it makes you realise that our MIL's are possibly all the same... pains in the ar5e!!! leis xx
Thanks Jane and Leis! I'm glad I'm not the only one...I sometimes think if I just tried harder to be nice, get along etc....that all would be wonderful. Truth be known, I only tolerate her because of DS...I'm going to check out that other thread for sure! The "witch" (MIL one that is, not the AF witch) doesn't know about our fertility issues either....thankfully! So glad to know that yet again you wonderful women have a common thread with me!
Janee
Good evening ladies,
Danni - hang in there sweetie. I'll be watching out for your news in the morning.
Jane - I know where you're coming from but in my case it's SIL not MIL. I get along really well with my MIL but the SIL :angry:. DH and I had a huge massive humangus fight just before the wedding and nearly broke because of the trouble she causes.
I'm still getting to know everyone what's happening in 4 weeks?
Firemansgirl - I love that saying. My DH and I weren't going to do IVF because if we can't do it ourselves we aren't supposed to have kids. It is now a completely different story. Now I'll do anything and everything to have a baby. And that is exactly the same theory we are using.
Hi keen, melbo and all the other ladies in here. Hope everyone is well and we are going to get some BFP soon.
As of me I'm cramping so I think AF is on her way. We have our next gyno appt on 3rd July and he is going to give us our treatment plan. If i get my period now I'm going to have to wait until next cycle to begin our treatment and my cycles are always over 50 days. I'm considering on back on the pill for a month to make sure it's 28 days. What do you girls think???? :confused:
Pop in later for a chat.
Luv Dan.
hey dan: i dont think im going to have any news tomorrow morning. :( i will test (i cant help it ) and either way i will get a blood test tomorrow. i dont want to be starting with the pill for ivf if i am pregnant. :crossfingers:
not long til your appointment now :D
Danni - fingers crossed here just in case. It is so hard to resist the lure of the peestick, I agree. May it bring you good news but if not, hang in there for the next big thing. It's all progress even though it feels like anything but sometimes.
Love,
Mel
Dan - only 4 weeks until my appointment with the new FS, should have probably wrote that bit in :)
Jane, hope that time passes quickly. I see Lyndon has another new patient on this board as well. That has to be good luck for both of you!
Danni - I know it is so hard seeing that BFN result staring back at you, sweetheart. But you have to know it could very easily be just too early. I sure hope your dream comes true for us both :hug: It really s very hard to keep going sometimes, but what choice do we have? We want a baby and whilever there's a chance or some hope, we hang in there, through it all, hoping and praying that this cycle might be the one finally. Melbo is right, have a look at old posts back from over 12 months ago and you will see an abundance of avatars now holding babies or with big bellies....
Janee - sorry to hear about the MIL dramas. I have my own mother dramas, so I can understand. Feel free to vent all you need.
Dan - really hope AF is not arriving for you... Might need to consider a treatment to get those cycles back in order. The pill might be the answer, but Im not really sure. Your doc should be able to advise you.
Jane - will be a VERY long 4 weeks, I bet! But it will be here soon and you'll be on your way!
ME - Well Ive had strange pains today - very similar to ovulation pains and lots of (sorry if TMI) creamy CM... hope its for the right reasons.... :crossfingers: and :pray:
Thanks Keen and Mel, argh it's going so slowly now, I have to stop counting or I will drive myself mad ;)
Keen - fingers crossed
:hello: Hi everyone
OMG !!! You arent going to believe this...... As i posted a few days ago, had to have my B/T last Thursday and the result was negative :( but they said my level was quite high for a negative result (HCG 30) so they wanted me to have the test again today (Mon) to make sure my levels were going down ok. They rang me today to say "Your levels are going up nicely" I must have sounded like such a bimbo, i kept saying WHAT ?? HuH ?? The nurse said its POSITIVE, you are PREGNANT !!!!!!!! :eek: I couldnt believe my ears. She has said that a slow start isnt a good sign but i definately am pregnant ( even as i type this i still cant believe it !!!!!!) She also said not to go telling the world yet, they will repeat the test and do a scan next week to see if everything is ok, because a slow start often means the pregnancy wont be successful, but sometimes a slow start is still fine ????????????????
IM SOOOOOOOOOO CONFUSED !!!
Is there anywhere i can find out a range of what your HCG level is meant to be ( mine was 99 today ) Did anyone else have a slow start and a fine pregnancy ?????
Danni - im really sorry to hear that u got a BFN. It sounded like you had some great signs happening. Maybe as others have said, its just too early. I'm begining to wonder how accurate those home tests are !! I had my blood test today and was told its a definate positive, i did a test tonight because i wanted to see it with my own eyes and its positive but very faint and i think im about 20 DPO, so Dont give up.
Mel - if u dont mind me asking, how many attempts did you have @ IVF ??
Hope everyone else is well sorry about the longgggggggg rambling post
Cheers
Char
Char - I have everything crossed for you, I realy hope those levels keep rising :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: There is a thread in the pregnany first trimester forum with suggested HCG levels I was actually just reading it
Good luck
oh char congrats!!! :crossfingers:
Char, Im pretty sure Sush's recent pg started out pretty low, although I cant remember how low and she is now holding Charlie, so there is hope! Congrats to you sweetie and lets hope those numbers just keep rising.
HERE is the link to the thread about HCG levels.
Hey girls,
Char - :pray: your levels continue to go up so we can officially celebrate. Sending you lots of baby dust.
Danni - How you feeling. Nice little temp rise this morning. Did you test this morning? Truthfully :). Any more bleeding?
Jane - Another day down til your appt. I know how frustrating it is waiting until your appointment I've got 13 days until my next appt. You can't help but count down. Waiting just sucks :angry:
Keen - Have you guys decided if you are going to do the FET cycle? When would your big day be?
Nothing at all new for me on the TTC front. But on other news I sign the contracts to my new job today. I'm so excited about becoming a midwife. Twelve months of hard work ahead.
Have a fantastic day girls and I'll catch up with you guys tonight.
Cheers,
Dan.
Dan - havent decided when to go for FET again. Wont be before September. Just chilling for a bit.
Congrats Char! I'm praying your levels go up and you can stop worrying, hunny!
My levels with Charlie were 73 at 13dpo, which was considered low as well. I think Melbo had even lower levels than that with WilMartin! Am hoping it all goes well for you, my sweet. Did you have a blast transfer or day 2 transfer?
Hi everyone...just popping in really quickly to let you know that i'm still around, but haven't had a chance to read up or post since last week. DH and I will be out of the shop hopefully by the weekend, so i'll do a major catch up then....
Char - you're a champion..... sending you heaps of sticky vibes....congratulations...
guys, my hcg is 5. am i pregnant or not? is it low enough to be not pregnant at all? if i go back and get another bt done in 48 hours and it is still 5 or less, does that mean a very early m/c has occured?
im so confused :(
danni - check out this post HERE
I did find this on the net, but i dont know whether to take as definative:could it still be too early? i really hope for you!:
An hCG level of less than 5mIU/ml is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25mIU/ml is considered positive for pregnancy
what about in between 5-25 lol.
