Rhi - What a very strange visit. What makes him think you were not UTD? The better egg quality could have something to do with all the meds you take while cycling but I'm not 100% sure on that.
I would be very confused with that appointment as well. Most clinics ask you to see the nurse before you see your FS and start any treatment. I think it's so they can go over the treatments and make sure you understand what is involved. We had to do that. I think it's standard procedure. We don't have to do counceling in QLD.
We I mean I still have lots of B/T's lol. But our first visit consisted of lots of B/T's. I think I had about 6 vials taken lol.
Tammara - I too have found the bruising to be random. Appart from my dirty big one I have 2 little ones oh and another dirty big one on my arm where the FS took blood. It's a doosey too.
Oh yes Tammara, that rings a bell. So why are you considered high risk? Is it cos it’s an IVF bub? Great price on the accommodation, that is awesome. It will be nice for you to have DH with you also.
Thanks Pumpgirl, yeah we are very excited to be half way now, yippee!!! Thanks for the reassurance. Lol, you preaching about your Kakadu Juice, this stuff must be amazing, he he!
Jules, I couldn’t agree with Pumpgirl anymore, we all miss you and are here for you anytime you are ready to come back. Oh yippee, you just came back as I was writing this post. Wow what a very strange app, totally not sure what to think!
Pumpgirl, nice post but I wanted an update on you? How far along? Are you having a scan soon? Any symptoms? Do tell all!
I have a few things against me - age, weight and ivf - because i used an egg donor there is a high chance i may get pre eclampsia. Plus we have LOTS of diabetes in my family so i also think that is a concern also, i hve had one glucose test with no probs and had another one on the weekend so im hoping its all right.
Well good luck hun, I have everything crossed for no pre eclampsia, diabetes and for a safe arrival of your gorgeous little girl! I cant believe how close it is now. I remember when you fell pg, sooo exciting!
Hi girls! Sorry I've been MIA, I got a new student at school with a gamet of issues, and after being hit in the face, sworn at, told I was mean and hated, threatened with scissors and generally disrupted in any way shape or form, I've been coming home and going straight to bed after tea!
I'll try and do persies; but I know I'll forget someone!
Keli- Yes, I just got your message today. So sad for Sarahrach, send my condolences. Thanks for letting me know. So glad your scan went well and bubs was looking perfect. I can't believe you're 20 weeks! Half way...
Porsche- I don't know much about IVF, but 6 sounds quite good! Good work on not overstimulating! I hope your scan goes well on Sat and then EPU! How exciting! I found the bruises to be random too, although I always kept the needle tops in the fridge and I only had one really bad bruise. Just another joy of TTC hey?
Jules- What an odd appointment! After my last m/c the u/s lady (who was a horrible cow, BTW) said she couldn't see any signs of a pg either, and by my calculations I was 5w 1d along. How odd?! At least your FS has ordered all the tests by the sound of it, so at least you can rule out some things for your superovulation cycle (Is it just me or do you imagine a little egg wearing hot pants and a cape? No? Just me then...) Intersting what your FS said about egg quality. Hopefully all goes well, and the cycle is fruitful! I reckon your next appoitment will be great cause it's on my B'day and I'll send all my wishes your way for a good one!
Pumpgirl-Thanks for the kukadu juice tip (is that a type of grass, I'm pretty sure we just covered the school oval in the stuff (maybe I'll just go and pick some off the oval!) That was my understanding of IVF too, but I'll ask the FS whne I go. How are you feeling at the mo?
Reet- It's possible you do have PCOS, you have similar symptoms to me. I took the BCP for 2 months and bled the whole time and then after I stopped taking it, no AF for 15 months! I've not had a regular cycle since then. to be classed PCOS you need to have at least 3/4 of anovulation(not ovulating), ammenorea (no periods), cysts on ovaries, skin tags, excessive body hair. HTH
Tammara- Nov doesn't seem that far away! Wow, that is amazing. It's great that Monash offers accomodation; my friends baby is in the NICU there at the moment and she said they are amazing, so you'll be in the best hands.
Kris- enjoy your visit to see your friend! Good idea to have a relax this cycle, it can only be beneficial to you I think!
Hi everyone else (I'm sure I've missed someone!)!
AFM: Well I'm on CD 11 today so I've finished clomid and just waiting for o. I felt odd yesterday and actually thought I might be oing! Way too early for me! The o test last night show a faint second line, and I thought it wouldn't show anything, so that was weird. I'll keep an eye on it anyway! Just waiting now to see my new FS which is on the 23rd August, and I've decided NO MORE CLOMID! We're moving on. We've just passed to 2 year mark at the end of JUly, and that's long enough. So we're madly saving our pennies for IVF, just in case.
I will update the list again, if you could all post where you are at the moment,
Bec - Oh my god, sounds like things are full on for you at the moment, sounds like you have a really challenging job hun!! RE: Kakadu juice is essentially a superfood juice that is made from a combination of some wild Australian fruits and other super fruits from around the globe. It delivers a super high dose of antioxidants & vitamins. it is more of a medicinal dose i.e. 1L will cost approx $70, but you will only need 30ml per day. If you google it on the internet it will have more information on the food and studies etc. I think that this product has so much merit as some of the fruits native to Australia (i.e. Davidson Plum) have an even higher antioxidant level than a whole cup of blueberries.
Keli - hehehe - still talking about my Kak juice I will stop now!! RE: me, I am doing good, sore bb's - I think I am now getting close to 10C - wahoo!!! Sweating really bad at night, nauseousness and bloating. I have started having AF type cramps, but no spotting or anything. Am trying to remain calm, but am pretty worried that something is going to happen. I am 5 wks and 5 days today. I am getting a dating scan on the 16 August (so a week and half) I can't wait to see the heartbeat and know everything is OK.
