Becnxavi, I don't know much about the trigger shots or gonal shots, but wishing you the best of luck :)
I will be 10dpo tomorrow, but I don't want to test! I think I may just wait till AF is due. I ovulated on CD18 (think it was then, that's when i had the bad pains) so Af should be due CD32 (Wednesday 22 Dec). Have had cramping on and off and BB's started to hurt today. I usually only get sore BB's a couple of days before AF so this is a little early for me. I don't usually get much cramping either, not even when AF shows. But i don't want to look into it too much because I don't want to be disappointed!
Still, it would be nice if we all got our Christmas wish this year :D Good luck everyone!
Tasha that sounds promising, you can sometimes get implantation cramping so hoping that is what it is for you. GL hun I have everything crossed.
Bec goodluck hun I so hope it is your time FX'd for you.
Well no good news from here, I did a HPT this morning, well 2 of them and they were both neg :( I rang and spoke to the nurse and I am stopping the pessaries and waiting for AF to show herself. Hoping like mad it is in the next couple of days so don't have it over xmas. Also as they are closed over xmas/ new year I won't be able to do an assisted cycle this time and have to ring after 17 Jan and book in the another appointment which is prob going to be a waste as I will have to have provera to bring on AF for the next cycle. I was just so disappointed with it all I am so just want to give up at the moment and DH is just not understanding it which is making it worse. I know I shouldn't have but a few months ago we found a great bargin on ebay and brought nursery furniture, well I have just put it back on ebay to sell, I just don't want to look at it anymore. And I don't know what I am going to be like xmas day we have both our families coming over to our place for lunch and there are going to be two 7 month old babies and one 3 week old baby coming. Just want to go and disappear at the moment AAAHHHHH. Oh and now DH and I are starting to save for IVF, well when we pay off all of our bills after feb next year.
Sorry for the rant, just needed to get it off my chest. Hope everyone is travelling better than what I am and your xmas wishes come true.
Liz,
I'm so sorry about the BFN. I know what a kick in the teeth it feels like, especially when everyone around you seems to have a little baby! What a pain about the clinic being shut over Christmas, maybe you will o on your own? Do you still have any clomid left? At least you would have a cycle on Clomid?
AFM: Pretty sure I will o today sometime after the trigger at Midnight on Thursday. we're doing our bit for the cause ;), and then the waiting game is on untill new years. I have a feeling that it's not going to happen this month, don't know why. Odd since I started the month so confident!
Hi to everyone. Tasha good luck if you do test!
Bec
epayne - I agree with Bec if you have any clomid left or can get some i would take it and pray that you O on your own. DONT GIVE UP, I understand about DH not understanding it just does not seem as important to them as it does to us sometimes (well mine anyway) it took me 2.5 years to get my DP to do a SA. I completely understand about the nursery furniture i have brought heaps of baby clothes, shoes and other stuff off e-bay thinking i would fall pregnant soon and its heart breaking to see them in the closet. But you cant give up i use my baby things as inspiration when i feel like giving up. But i do understand why you want to get rid of them it will be easier for you emotionally. For christmas day good luck my thoughts will be with you as it wont be easy. Were staying home this year thank goodness. As for IVF i have been doing the caculations for us with were we will be doing it and besides needing around $7000 upfront you end up about $2000 out of pocket for that but then there is the doctor and hospital for egg retreival and then transfer is $2100. You would think you could get more help cause that's alot of money.
Bec - Good Luck with the trigger and having lots of fun after :-))
AFM: On CD 20 today and not confident at all this month have no systems at all. The place where i will be doing IUI and IVF gave me the name of a lady who does accupunture and chinese medicine that they send patients to and my first app was last Fri and she was really good the herbs taste like s***t but was really impressed with her so lets hope she can help.
WISHING EVERYONE LOTS OF BABY DUST AND STICKY VIBES
Bec GL catching that egg and hoping like crazy you will be celebrating extra for new years.
Rai, don't count your chickens just yet hun. What was the accupunture like. I have heard good things about people falling pg when doing it.
Well I'm CD1 today and af is already quite heavy. But at least I will be finished for xmas as we are hoping the rain stops and we can go to the beach. Well Dh and I had a chat this morning about everything (as I sort of lost the plot last night balling my eyes out). And we have decided to make an appointment with the fs in jan and discuss everything with him as we are going to stop, save and go back when we have the money to do ivf, plus I need to focs on my wieght and my mental state of mind. So I hope you don't mind I will pop in everynow and again but prob won't post until we start again. Wishing everyone the best of luck with all of your journeys.
Liz,
we'll miss you but a break could be just what you need. RElax and get reconnected with DH and then you can start your 2011 with a new plan. I sincerely hope things go beautifully for you when you start again. *hugs*
Bec
Hey all,
Sorry I have been MIA - been flat out this week & this weekend.... I hope you are all well. Will try to catch up for persies later in the week. Nothing to report here, other than I am hanging for the 27th cos that is when I will most probably test is AF doesn't show.
Jules, I'm waiting for the 1st Jan! GOOD LUCK!!!!
Same to you Bec. x
Hi to everyone else, will try to come back & do perssies
It's awfully quiet in here! I hope you are all enjoying a bit of a break for Christmas:)
Bec
Hi everyone,
Hope you guys have had more luck than me.
I got a BFN and very heavy AF. I guess at least my AF came this month.
I swear this was my month as i did everything absolutely right. I still cant see where it went wrong =(
Oh well.
Hope everyone still has a chance and have a great surprise.
Not me. Tested this morning, BFN :(
All I'll be getting for christmas is Big Fat AF! Probably tomorrow :( Oh well, better luck next month. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and holidays!
What a bummer girls! M21SB; sometimes we can only do our best, and hope. It's not your fault. Hugs to you both
Bec

Hi girls
Sorry I have been MIA but have been busy trying to get my work done before I go on holidays at the end of the week. Won't try to do persies as it has been so long and I am doing this on my phone so I can't see anyones posts. Sorry to hear that a few of you got BFN's. Hopefully next month is the one. For those in the 2 week wait fx'd.
I am off to the dr tomorrow to see if the final round of clomid worked or if I am booking in for a lap. Won't be sad to not have to take the clomid any more. My moods have been horrendous this month and the flushes were worse. The increased dose played havoc with me. I think everyone else will like it better when the mood swings go too, lol. Will come back in tomorrow and let you know how the appointment went.
Good Luck Shan!
Hi everyone,
I hope you are all doing ok & not in too much of a mad rush leading up to Xmas Day.
M2OSB & Tasha - so sorry to hear you are both out :( It is so unfair. I most probably will be joining you - I tested just to see if the trigger was still in my system & it isn't & I don't think there is a baby growing in there b/c the test was neg, not even an evap line. Fark! So not what I want - this was our last shot until taking a break.... I hope it was just too early to test but something tells me AF will show over the next few days, although my bbies are still so sore... haven't told DH I POAS.... looks like I can drink New Years Eve away...
Shan - best of luck with your appt.
Bec - Any pg symptoms?
Jules, I super hope you were too early! When is AF due?
AFM: PG symptoms aplenty but I'm attributing everything to the Pregnyl cause that's apparently what it does. I have it all: nausea, sore bb's, peeing a lot, thirsty, crampy, totally P'd off with DH, tired etc. But I was told to expect that with the pregnyl. I still have another week untill I can test cause I have another shot on Sunday and I have to wait up to 6 days after that. I least I wont be able to sneaky POAS! I can't drink New Years because AF is due on the 1st, not that I'm a huge drinker usually anyway, but after such a crappy year I wouldn't mind welcoming in a new year IYKWIM!
I so bad want this month to be our month girls! Let's hope there's a few BFP soon,
Merry Christmas to everyone, have a great day!
Bec
Bec - Hoping they are 'real' pg symptoms. I hope you can get a BFP for New Year - that would be awesome. FX.
I am out - I know it. bbies are not sore today & I have lower abdo cramping. I think AF will be here tomorrow or by the 27th :( So, I will be taking a break for about 9 months or so as I am emotionally spent after 26 months of ttc and another 3 m/c. I told DH today that I am open to doing IVF but not now. I really want to try to lose weight & eat a low GI diet without the ttc stuff on top of it. So, I have decided I am going to try to commit to two days at the personal trainer and two nights of yoga - I think that is doable.
I just want to say to everyone that I am really appreciative of all of your support. I know there have been days when I have felt so alone but knowing I can log on here & 'talk' to you ladies has made this time much easier than I could have imagined. I wish you all the very best and success in getting your BFP! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I will come in from time to time and check on you all & hope to see some posts very soon announcing pg. I will be floating around the BB site - probably more in the health & fitness part. Take care all Jules xx
Good afternoon all,
Bec~ I have my FX tightly for you and am praying for you new years BFP darl. Good luck.
Rhi~ I am still praying AF will be a no show for you darl, I wish you all the very best hun in whatever you decide to do. Good Luck.
Well this is my first cycle on Clomid and what a ride is has been and I'm only at CD19 today....woke up this morning and I started crying for no reason at all. I just feel so left out of everything right now and I'm sure it's the Clomid rollercoaster of emotions. I even feel like DF doesn't want me any more and I don't feel good enough for me at all. But that is NOT the case at all I know he loves me to bits and will do anything for me but I just don't feel it right now, and it's not due to anything that he has said or done. The things we have to put up with, sometimes I really hate being a woman IYKWIM. But anyhoo on a good note I FINALLY got my +ive OPT today so will be BDing tonight I would think. Haven't been overly active in the BDing this month we have so much on right now by the time we get to bed we pass out before our heads hit the pillow which is becoming very frustrating for me. Oh and I have also had EWCM for the past few days as well. So it seems like I am about to enter the dreaded 2WW in the next day or 2.
p.s Sorry for the lack of persies in here girls but I'm in no way at all educated enough to give advice on anything to do with IVF and don't understand most of things you ladies talk about, hence the lack of personals. But I do have my FX tightly for all of us to get our BFPs very soon and sending you all out tonnes of baby dust and sticky vibes.
Merry Xmas to you all I hope you all have a safe and lovely Xmas.
Take care all
xox
Evening my lovely ladies,
Firstly a very Merry Christmas to you all, I wish you all just one thing, a sticky BFP in the very near furture that you all very much deserve.
So sorry it has taken me so long to post, thanks to Bec for letting everyone know I had safely given birth, you're a legend, I've been thinking of you lately too hun, hope you're doing ok. Much love!
So I am very pleased to announce that Miss Olive arrived at 8:03am on Saturday 11th December. She was born screaming via forceps after a 7.5 hour labour. She is just perfect. Whilst we didn't know what we were having I was utterly convinced it was a boy, needless to say I was very pleasantly suprised.
Cant wait for the long overdue BFP's on here, its about time there were many.
Wishing you all a wonderful day tomorrow!
Xxoo
Jules- I'll miss you heaps!!! I totally get the having time for you think, it's hard to do when you spend most of the time trying to force your body to do things it doesn't want to do, isn't it? Hopefully we'll hear that you've conceived naturally and you don't need IVF! I sincerely hope life is kind to you, becasue you deserve it so much. Enjoy your little one, and have a brilliant Chirstmas.
Clairesmummy- Clomid can be awful in terms of messing with your emotions!! It's good to hear you're o'ing and hopefully your TWW has a nice BFP at the end! GL
KEli- SO nice to hear from you! Glad to hear baby Olive is finally here, and doing well. I'm finding Christmas a little hard, we would have had a bubs by now, but I am inspired by stories like yours. I have changed by train of thouights on things: a baby will come to us when the time is right (but I really hope it's soon!). Enjoy your beautiful Olive this Chirstmas, and a brilliant 2011 to you too.
AFM: I'm so grumpy it's not funny! I'm trying to refrain from snapping at DS, so instead poor DH cops it! I don't envy my family being around me tomorrow...I'm going to take my book and find a quiet corner somewhere to disappear to if I need some time out! Best go and make sure everything is ready for Santa ;) Have a great one everyone!
Bec
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
Bec - Really hope for a BFP from you on new years it sounds promising. Hope you have had a great day and not grumpy anymore, hope Xavier has had a great christmas.
Rhi - Hoping and praying AF does not show. Good luck and wishing you all the best with taking a break, and i agree with bec hopefully you will conceive naturally and wont have to do IVF.
Keli - Congrats on your beauitiful little girl. What a wonderful christmas you will have.
AFM - AF due tomorrow i know she is going to show so not happy. I had to change my appointment so am now seeing FS on the 7th Jan and will be doing IUI for my Jan AF in Feb if that makes sence. Got to go wish you all had a great christmas.
Hi all,
I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas Day. Whilst our day was hectic, I had an overall good time.
Keli - Hope you especially enjoyed yours with Olive :-)
Bec - Aww, hun your words are beautiful & I will miss you alot too. I wish you all the best for the New Year (particularly the 1st).
Rai - :( Sorry to hear AF will probably show. All the best with your FS appt & IUI
AFM - Yep, I was right AF has showed - about 10.45pm - I knew she was on her way :(
Take care all, will be in from time to time :) xx
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVRYONE, hope you all had a great day.
I just wanted to ask a quick question. Has anyone else experienced light / short AF whilst taking clomid? Last cycle i barely had any red, mostly brown, and only for about 3 days then gone. This cycle it's the same, but had one day of almost all red, little bit brown, now it's gone again after 3 days. It's also really light, no need for a tampon (barely a liner!) I tested 14dpo BFN, then Af started at 16dpo so I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant.
I also had progesterone level of 203 on my day21 BT, so thought i would have had a decent Af this cycle. Anyone know why? I worry that my lining is not thick enough :(
Tasha - Yes i have really light and short AF on clomid. What you had sounds like mine only think mine was 2 days. Really sorry i have no idea about the progesterone or lining thickness i know my FS checked my lining thickness not long ago but honestly not sure about it. Sorry AF arrived :-((
Thanks rai,
Good to know I'm not alone. If your lining is ok and you have short light AF then hopefully mine will be too. Bit of a bummer AF came, but oh well next month i guess :D
Hi rai and Tasha,
I also have a really light AF on clomid. It might be worth mentioning it to your FS. Check them to check your lining (they will do this anyway if you have follie scans).
HTH
Bec
Thanks Becnxavi, I have no scheduled appointment with FS. Wont I need to get referrals from him so they can do the scans? Then I would have to make an appointment (and pay $80!) Or can they organise it over the phone?
I'd really like to know whats going on in there.
Tasha - Once you see your FS they should be able to do the scan in there room. Yes you will have to pay extra for the scan not sure how much i know my app, scan, and injection cost around $150 but i get around $90 back from medicare but there all different so not sure about your FS. The scans dont hurt at all and its good to see whats happening in there and its great to see how many follies you have and there size and to check the lining. Good Luck :-))
tasha- I just ring my FS when it's coming up to possible ovulation (about CD12 ish). My scans cost about $35 on top of my appoinment cost. If you already have a referrel to your FS it lasts a year so you shouldn't need another one. It is your right as a patient to gte information or another appointment if you need one. But my old FS would ring me back if I rang the receptionist and asked him to, and that is free! He might want to see you though. Don't stress there are things you can take that will help. HTH
AFM: 4 more days till testing. Still extremely sore BB's, nausea, tired, although most of grumpy me is gone and I'm on to weepy, which is normal before AF comes along. I not really feeling it, to be honest. I think AF might be here on Saturday :( But it ain't over till it's over I suppose. Ordinaerily I would be testing already (POAS-aholic, I am), but the pregnyl booster on SUnday would still be in my system and I don't know that I could deal with a false positive!
I hope everyone's ok, and busy enjoying holidays!
Bec
Becnxavi- How exciting for you! Good luck! Hope AF doesn't show on Saturday :D
I will ring my FS before O day and see what he says. I can call him any time. Thanks again.
new symptom- I can't stop crying! I've been teary all day! My husband now officially thinks I'm a psycho after walking into the loungeroom to find me blubbering over a tv show about babies...
Thanks rai, didn't see your post earlier. I will just call him and ask how we go about it and what cost.:
Hi ladies,
Just had to pop in! Oh Bec I will be stalking this site over the weekend Hun, I have everything crossed for you! How good would that be for you to get your VERY long overdue BFP on the first day of 2011. GL Hun, hopefully all the tears are a great sign! I'll be watching!
Xxoo
Thanks Kel. Olive is beautiful! I love your ticker. We'll see how we go, Sat is the day...
I found out about 2 months ago i have gall stones and yesterday afternoon i had an attack so got rushed to hospital. They did alot of blood tests and i have an infection. Any way they done more blood tests and Guess What

i stopped metmorfin about 4 weeks ago since i was sure this was not the month should i start taking it again i would really appreciate some help cause not sure what to do and FS not working and neather is normal GP. So a tip from someone who honestly thought i would be the last one to get a BFP please never give up xxxxxxxxx
WOOO HOOOOO! That is awesome Rai!!!!!!! I am so excited for you. I wish you all the best for a happy and healthy 9 months!
YAHHHHH!
HUGE CONGRATS RAI, wonderful New years present for you hun, that is truly fabulous. I would have a drink for you over New Years But I'm in the TWW I O'd on Xmas day, so no drinking for on New years eve....lol... Sorry I can't help you with your question darl. But I had to say congratulations to you, gives me hope that my DH and I may get lucky one day, we have been TTC now for 28 months with no success. So thank you for your success story darl and I wish you all the very best for a H&H preg. and labour, sending you tonnes of sticky vibes darl.
GL Clairesmummy! I hope you get a BFP!
