Thanks Saffy, they didnt tell me how long so i just assumed i take it until they tell me otherwise, im going to the clinic on the 9th and i start the lucrin that day . I am very regular but at westmead they like all there patients to take it so they know where we are at? i will ring tomorrow to double check. thanks xx
Saffy ~ thanks hun. Sounding great so far for you, all the best hun, will be thinking of you with FX'd tight! xoxo
Oneday ~ Same for you hun, wishing you all the very best with FX'd tight! Yeh about 6weeks I think, usually around the time you start needles or few days into the jabs. Good luck hun
True ~ hope you are resting and relaxing after your FET but enjoying Canberra too, FX'd tight hun xoxoxo
Hi girls- just reporting in to say we had my EPU today and we got 10 eggs!!
SOOOO happy, I was geared up for 5 or 6 so I wouldn't be disappointed, now hope they fertilise,
thanks for your wishes, xxx
Well haven't things been ticking along in here alot...could barely catch up...naughty me for not checking more often
Saffy: Thats a fabulous result..good luck with fertilization..this is SOOOO your month girl
Kaybee: LOL you know me too well..yes I an stalking and lurking on this thread LOL..good luck I hope I havent missed an announcement...???
Nicoleh: Hope to hear some news from you soon...
Alice: I struggled more coming of the Meds than going on them too..takes a while for them to come out of the system. Enjoy your break and recope mind body and soul...
Frugal: My heart broke when I read your post, thats is the worst kick in the guts..your poor DH...I hope your finding a way to comfort each other and put the peices back together...
Oneday: Good luck this cycle
AFM: Well thanks so much for the everyone that asked after me..its been a rollercoaster to say the least..had a worse response this cycle than last..to small not enough of them..(my body does not like being told how to operate) ..double dose puregon...one less egg.
Anyway they let me stay on the meds for the weekend bloods and US today, there are five small follies now..so now we dont get answers til Wednesday Bloods and US again, and if we do get the okay we now have to go to Melbourne for EPU..
Soooo over it..but this is what it is...so thats me so far..promise I'll stay more up to date this time
Hey Loops I rang the clinic and she said i stay on it untill i go in on the 9th nov??
Saffy congrats thats a great result i hope they all fertilise!!!
Springlola im sorry you are still in limbo, it makes it so much more difficult not knownig whats happening, i have everything crossed that wed goes well for you xx
AFM iv already said im on the pill and im upto about day 14 of my cycle when i would usually ovulate wierd thing is i felt like i am ovulating today!! i normally know when i ovulate as i can feel it, but the pill is supposed to stop it so very wierd! Anyways i hope everyone is doing ok xx
Just popped in from the tww thread to see whats happening
saffy - great result, hope you get great fertilization results when will your et be?
springlola - sounds like you have had a rough time, fx this time round it is all better, good luck for Wed
oneday - I am not sure about the pill sometimes, this cycle I was on it and got af 2 days before stopping it - good luck with everything this time round
I started the antibiotics for this bronchitis on Saturday and I am feeling worse not better, DH will take me back to GP tomorrow if still no improvement (that will be 5 days on anitbiotics) can't believe I got this sick during tww. af has started this morning and am feeling devestated, I think it gets harder for me to cope with each fail

Saffy, good luck with the fertilization rates - been following you in the other thread x
Frugal, I'm so sorry you must both be devastated, it is just so heartbreaking to reach this point. I hope you are getting lots of love and support from your family and friends but I know sometimes they just don't really understand. Thinking of you
Nicoleh, I had really bad bronchitis last year...the only cycle I've ever fallen pregnant! Apparently the antibiotics are good and can help, I'm just sorry you feel so crappy. Here's hoping though - only a few days til you find out. Fingers crossed for you!!
Loops, how are you doing? Was so sorry to read your cycle didn't work out. Hope you are OK.
Oneday, Not long to go now! 8 days and counting I was on the pill for three weeks, had a period then started Lucrin. You stay on the Lucrin and start your FSH injections a little while later. It's a bit exciting waiting for it all to start and then getting on with it. I hope it all goes smoothly for you. Is it your first IVF cycle?
SpringLola, agg it's so confusing when the opposite thing happens to what you've been told to expect. I hope those little follies pick up and you have good news tomorrow. Fingers crossed for you too.
Kaybee, how's the TWW going? I hope that little blastie is sticking tight. When is your bt?
Well still hanging around...go my eye on a few friends on BB that I want to see have some happy news so will stay for a bit longer then I'll be taking a break til middle of next year when hopefully my body and our bank account have recovered! I'm still charting, just to see how things are going, and it is all over the place. I've never had so many low readings so I guess it's a full-on withdrawal from the drugs. I was taking DHEA for 5 months and I'm glad to be off it - sick of the headaches and irritability and mood swings it gave me - so I'm thinking that's probably the main one that has caused this reaction. Anyway, back soon to see how you are all going. x
nicoleh- thats terrible- to be sick and get AF as well, so sorry for you hun, I'm sure you must be devastated
oneday- not sure about that, you should't be ovulating on the pill but stranger things have happened I guess, hope its all ok!
springlola- thats a shame hun, there is still a chance good luck for wednesday. I love how you say your body doesn't like being told what to do! Its a battle of the wills between strong drugs and your body! Hope those follies get bigger and you can get to the EPU xx
Alice- hi, I'll write you a spiel on the other thread x
Loops = hope you are taking it easy and trying to enjoy yourself xx
I got a call from the FS nurse already when DH and I were out for breakfast- got 6 eggs fertilized, so am very happy about that ( DH is chuffed also that his swimmers did their bit), hoping to have 1 or 2 to freeze but trying not to get too excited, ET on for Saturday please work!
xx
Frugal - I'm so sorry mate. I can't imagine how you and DH are feeling right now. Like the others have said, I really hope you have some people to lean on (or cry on) while you come to terms with it.
Oneday - how bizarre - it surely can't be ovulation??? One week till kick off!
Loops - how are you going mate? I'm going to miss you in here. Hopefully you can skip this thread next time and head straight for the pg threads
Saffy - what an awesome result to far. I have fingers and toes crossed that they all keep growing nicely for you so they can choose the most perfect little emby to re-unite with his mum on saturday.
Springlola - not having much fun in this waiting game then hey? Hope wednesday's results are good!
Nic - sorry you're feeling like crap. Are you sure it's af? You must be so devastated if it is. You're right, it never never gets any easier does it.
Alice - I haven't made it to the TWW yet - my body was slow to get moving this month so I'm only having my transfer tomorrow. I hope the break is all your body needs to get this dream happening!
AFM - transfer is tomorrow 12:45. The scientist from my clinic called and said they thawed one and it survived and is looking good so far. I'm excited but very realistic about this one. I was very lucky to have a whole batch to freeze way back 3 years ago when I got pg with DS. However I have now done 4 FETs from that batch and still have no baby to show for it. I know that they try to pick the best quality one each time, so I'm really wondering what I'm left with if all of the best quality ones haven't worked. Hmmmm, must stay positive
Nicoleh, I'm so sorry, I didn't read the last part of your post properly. That sucks that AF has arrived, and it does hurt that much more each time I agree but we have to keep hoping and keep trying. I really really hope that things take a turn for the better with you and I'm sorry for mentioning my pg in my post - that was pretty insensitive considering how things are for you right now. Big to you. Hang in there and hopefully maybe the bleeding will stop xx
Kaybee, sorry lovely, I've lost track. Good luck for tf tomorrow. I know what you mean about the quality ones...we had two tf this last cycle and were told to absolutely not expect to have any to freeze then we found out that they did freeze one. Can't help wondering if it really was good enough but the FS says all the time that the ratings are more for the embryologists and that they see plenty of grade 3s make it into healthy bubs so we can only hope.
Hi Ladies
Im doing ok - thanks for asking and Im still hanging around a bit - rooting you all on!!
Saffy ~ 6 that is great ~ FX'd they continue to divide and grow to a wonderful quality.
SpringLola ~ FX'd for your follies hun, hoping they grow and grow. Good luck
Oneday ~ I too found that I thought I was ovulating but trust that the pill will do the job, its amazing how it all works - but it will. Goodluck with it all hun
nicoleh ~ big hugs again and I hope you infection is clearing up - nothing worse
Alice ~ thanks hun. We are in the same boat - we will be waiting until about mid-year as well for the same reasons. Will have FX'd and we (you and I and partners) get a little miracle in the mean time xoxo
Kaybee ~ thanks hun, I couldnt leave for good, I will be in but probably just not quite as much. If its thawed well hun that has to be a good thing. Dont give up hope - even if the quality is not as good your body might just be ready and it will take, Fx'd tight for you.
AFM ~ Same as Alice, sick of the headaches, still bleeding a bit, bit irratable but other than that Im coping ok. Back to hoping for a natural miracle again and focussing on getting finances in order and fit and healthy. Just got 2nd place on Melb Cup :-)
Thanks Alice, no this is my 2nd STIM our last STIM cycle we got 4 embies-3 BFN and 1 BFP but lost it at 5 weeks its been a hard and long road just like most others in here but im hoping that the new clinic and the break will do us the world of good, i have a good feeling about westmead. I cant wait to get started, on the 9th nov when i go to the clinic i will be on day 22 of my cycle, the nurse told me i will start the lucrin that night, i assumed i would stay on the pill til my next period but bit unsure will just have to wait and see what they say on tues. Good luck with everything xx
Kaybee, goodluck i hope this is the one for you xxx
Loops i hope your doing ok and i look forward to seeing you in the threads again soon xx
Saffy, congrats that great i have my fingers crossed for you
I rang the clinic and told them about bleeding and they told me to do BT tomorrow instead of Friday. About 1 hour ago I decided to poas expecting nothing to come up BUT I got 2 lines, the 2nd is not as dark as the control but it is pretty clear. Is it possible to get bleeding and still get a BFP??
WOW nicole yay!!!! I so hope it works out for you. I have heard plenty of stories about woman bleeding and still getting a BFP, i also did get a BFP but mine ended in a miscariage. Has the bleeding eased? Keep positive xx
Thanks oneday & Saffy, I had that little bit of spotting Thursday night which was 5dpt which everyone thought was implantation bleed. Today I am 10dpt and this bleeding is heavier than spotting but not heavy enough to use anything, its just pinkish when I go to the loo (sorry if tmi) was 100% sure it was af but so far it has not gotten any heavier. POAS has knocked me for 6, not sure what to think but your info oneday has given me some hope. FX for a good BT tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for listening to me rant like a crazy person, this forum is a godsend
Nicoleh!!!! That's AWESOME news and yes, you can bleed and still be pregnant. Ooo so excited for you! From what I've read the POAS are never false for a positive - is that right everyone? Will be holding out to hear how you go tomorrow. I'll be in Sydney for the night so will check in first thing when I get back Thurs pm. Good luck!!
