:smt039 Hi Cherie!! Good to see you in here. I made the move from the Clomid gals a while ago & everyone here is just lovely!
Sararms~back away from the stick slowly :lol: ikwym I'd be itching to do a test as well!!
Shez~planning ahead would be hard, I am like that with work. I get organised for breakie & dinner then end up ordering something terrible from the canteen for lunch :rolleyes:
Well I am freaking out a bit here. I am day 6 with my injections today & went for a BT. They nurse said if things are moving along too fast we will need you down here Wednesday for an u/s. Anyway, she rang me back this arvo & has said I need to be there at 7am tomorrow for an u/s & BT. She said it seems I have responded well to the hormones (duh, really I have pimples like a 14yr old :shock: ) & things are progressing quite quickly!!
Wish me luck
Skye

You are all added Cherie, you'll find an amazing bunch of women in here to support you on your journey.

I have found myself the perfect distraction until late Feb. I have gained quite a bit of weight over the last few years so I have started a big health kick and weight loss plan. I figure it has added benefits, it distracts me from thinking about tcc (well a little) and I can talk myself into staying on track by telling myself it is only until I get a BFP seeing that you aren't meant to diet when preg ;)
Sarams- I had to laugh when I saw all the girls telling you to back away from the stick. I have been wanting to test too and even had a friend give me all of her ovulation and HPT kits as she is now preg. so they are calling me from the drawer. I keep imagining all sorts of non existant symptoms, DH suggested that if I didn't have sore BB's they will be soon the way I keep inspecting them.
Welcome Cherie, I am new also, but already these lovely gals have saved my sanity.

Hi ladies!
Its been quite a while actually since my last post but I needed a big time break from all the IVF craziness especially over christmas and new years :cry:
In fact the week before christmas I got a BFP on my own! I just figured that I would wait and see if I got past 5 weeks before doing the big share and well anyone who knows my history probably already knows what happened. In fact the bleeding part didnt and still hasent yet. but I know I am not pregnant. I had a blood test on what would have been 4 weeks 5 days and HCG was only 10 I also had a progesterone done at the same time and it was only 1.9(post menopausal levels). I have had more blood tests and the HCG is -2
I have another blood test tomorrow but this one is testing all my other hormones. They need to get it all sorted and figure out if there is anything wrong before I even consider going for stim cycle #3
meanwhile my SIL is now 8 weeks with 1 baby after her FET(and first transfer) was successful with 20 more little embryos in the freezer. I am so jealous!!! So i have been dealing with that.
Then 5 weeks ago while doing a favour for a friend and babysitting her 10.8kg 20 month old I picked her up and heard a huge cracking noise come from my shoulder. After procrastinating for 3 days I went to a local quack who suggested physiotherapy and while that gave me some movement back last week my shoulder began hurting again more than ever.
I went to my childhood doctor who sent me for X-ray and Ultrasound on friday and found out today I have a full thickness tear in my suprapinatus tendon and I need to have it surgically repaired!
This will likely put a dampener on any IVF treatment I am planning on until I at least know my operation date! It so sucks. I fear my time is really running out as far as TTC goes. I have just hit 9 years 2 months TTC.
2005 seems to have been a doozy with me getting pregnant 6 times 7 times, losing 7 pregnancies, doing 2 fully stimulated IVF cycles and injuring my shoulder on top of all of that. Its about put me over the edge!!!
Hence the break I needed from it all! over the holidays. especially christmas eve when everyone was playing lets see who can talk about SIL's pregnancy the most and the loudest....oh and while we are at it lets do it all in front of Cazz :rolleyes:
Didge~ congratulations on your BFP!
Hi to all the ladies I havent met while I have been on a break. I just thought I would come say hi and that I have not dropped off the face of the earth and even though I may not be doing IVF as soon as I would have liked I will still be here cheering you guys on!!!
love to all and Happy 2006

Hi Girls,
Sorry I haven't posted for a few days....been a bit busy in the shop and have been totally buggered by the end of the day. I'm not even sure when the last time I posted was, and what it entailed.
Welcome Cherie....hope your stay is short and sweet.
Sararms - It must be so hard not to do the test, although the first round of clomid, I happily waited until i was told by the clinic to do so. That is soooo not me, and one of my friends couldn't believe that I held out. Mind you...two months later and you won't be able to hide them from me.....
j_girl - LOL at your DH. I do exactly the same thing...poking and prodding, just hoping that they are the littlest bit sore...
Everyone Else - Lots of hugs to you all and hope that you are all well..
Well, heres my update now. I finished clomid on the 4th and thank god, because i was getting terrible hot flushes. It felt like someone was trying to iron me because the heat was so intence and felt like it was going up and down my body. Nice couple of days sitting in front of the fan and a few quick dips in the river were well received.
Today is CD14 and the clinic has re-opened =D> HOORAY.....I rang them at precicely 9.00am this morning and they said for me to come over as I was 2 days overdue for my scan to check my follies. Turns out I have 1 follie (about 25mm) ready to release my precious little egg in one ovary and about 5 small ones in the other, so looks like everything is working to plan at this stage.
I was given some OPK's to take home.......one for this arvo, and a few for the next few days. This arvo's has a faint line, so DH and I will DTD for the next few days and then every second day afterwards to make sure. He love's this part coz he gets lots of lovin!!!
My stars have told me that I will have a nice suprise on Australia Day which, if my calculations are correct based on ovulating in the next few days, that Australia Day will signal the end of my TTW...............Whoo Hoo ......Here's hoping for a HUGE BFP.......Fingers crossed for me.
Okay, thats enough from me....hope you all have a great evening
Love & Kisses

Cazz - I must have been typing as you were posting........ I'm so sorry that 2005 has been so terrible for you, and even though i don't know what it must be like to have so many BFP, that in turn end with a M/C, I have had M/C's over the years, so I can feel your pain. I also know exactly how you feel about SIL being pg. My SIL has just gone 12 weeks and i too had to deal with it all over xmas. I'm at a stage now where I can't even look at her, and it is a constant reminder of what I can't have. Chin up Cazz, we're all thinking of you in here.....
Hugs :hugs:
-
thanks Shan!
hopefully the BFP fairy shines on us all this year!!! I just want a sticky fairy right next to her
Cazz
-
Cazz- :hug: really hope 2006 is a much brighter year for you - OMGosh you poor shoulder and having to delay IVF again.
Goodluck with :bd: and catching the :sperm: egg Shan
-
Hello ladies
Cazz- I'm sorry about your bad news and I hope you have a better batch of news this year.
j-girl- how are you bearing up? I hope you are managing to stay away from the sticks. If I have to, then so do you lady!!!!
so far still, the headaches, still very tired, I look like death!, and now.... I may be constipated. This is genuinely the only time I have had real symptoms outside of IVF. If I can get to Wednesday with out my temp dropping I'm reaching for the test!!!!
good luck everyone
-
I know what you all mean about how hard it is watching those close to you pg. I am fine when they actually have the children and when they are quite far along, it's just the initial stage when the green eyed monster gets the better of me!!!
One of my close friends who has just gotten married told me they are waiting a year or so before having a baby. She wants one but he isn't quite ready yet. I sat there nodding and being understanding to her sadness at not ttc just yet, when secretly inside I jumping for joy. What a horrible person I am. Plenty of my close friends have children and I love them all dearly but this one friend it was just going to get the better of me if she got pg right now (don't ask me why??). I am a bad bad friend and I sure if she if knew my secret feeling she wouldn't like me so much anymore.
I have shared these thoughts with dh and he was really understanding. He knows the ttc rollercoaster gets the better of me sometimes but he knows I have it all under control!!!
-
lil chookie - you are not a bad friend, you sound perfectly normal. I regularly have evil thoughts about my pregnant friends, well one in particular, but I think it is because she is a competetive person and her dh even had the gall to say on new years eve "do you want to know how we got pregnant" and they are well aware of our problems.
I am even getting bad with people with kids, there is a group of girls at work with kids all around 2 years old and they talk all day long about them. Today was particularly bad and hard to handle as I am trying to not think about things and they talked for hours on end. The only thing that keeps me sane is this site and knowing that these emotions are perfectly normal. I actually didn't go to my fathers family xmas party because all my younger counsins were going with their babies and it was too much for me.
How are you going Sararms? Still hanging in there. My PMS has been ferral today so I am pretty sure this wasn't the month for us. Wait and see by the end of the week I guess.
I hope everyone else is well
-
I'm pretty sure it hasn't worked for us either this month. Temp is a little bit down again and bloody cramps are kicking in. Still have headaches though so maybe....
As for friends: I think it is impossible to not have negative feelings about them. I have one who got pregnant on the pill, smoked all through that pregnancy, then got pregnant again with an IUD fitted...
I stay away from her because I just envy her so mch and she has no clue about sensitivity. I hope will make new and better friends when I am pregant myself.
Good luck j
-
Cazz: so sorry to hear about your shoulder - here's to a speedy recovery and some good ttc news this year for you. :flower:
Shan: sending lots of good vibes your way. :bdust:
Sararms: sorry to hear PMS might be kicking in. Will still keep my fingers crossed for you for a little longer. :crossfingers:
j-girl: good luck - here's hoping for a BFP. :luck:
Take care,
Marg

Hello to everyone.
Well I have many times popped in and out of this thread and yes I am back again.
After 5 m/c's and a failed IVF attempt i have now been put on Serophene for a short time to see if this will assist us falling pg.
I have no understanding of why other than it can help with the ovulation process.
I am a little confused however as have fallen pg in the past just unable to keep them?
I have just i am currently on CD 5 of my cycle and take my final serophene today. I have had a rotten headache for the past 2 days and have felt a little nauseous in the mid afternooon also the hot flushes are not fun at all.
i have been drinking tank loads of water as directed by my Gyno.
Well I trust that you are all well and pray that you will all be paarting this journey very soon. IYKWIM. I so look forward again to getting to know you all.
Amanda, Angel baby mum, Ann, Bed, Bee, Bluesky, Cazzoom, Chris, Didge, Leisa,shannon,shezabelle,skye, starbright, suziq,tammie, teagan,rachael,lil cookie, shell, anna, jane, j girl, sararms, tam, & cherie.
BEL: I know you have departed but please pop in to say hello and encourage me on my journey as you so have in the past. Love ya heaps.

Hi special child *waves*
Hpefully you will not be in here for very long :)
-
I am hoping for the same, as I am hoping for everyone else in here.
Thanks for the welcome.
any Serophene stories would be greatly appreciated.
Any possitive conception stories re: Serophene/Clomid would also be appreciated.
-
It's nice to share these feelings of how we are with others around us having children. I think saying it out loud (or typed on a computer) keeps us all sane!!!
Well I am testing my sanity, my baby & children's clothing store is about to open )next tuesday). So I am pretty much going to be surrounded by little ones all the time!!!
-
Hi Nola :smt039
I'm starting my second round of Clomid (serophene) tomorrow. It's an ovulation induction drug, so I'm not really sure why you might be taking it, if you're able to fall pregnant, but I wish you all the best with it. I was lucky enough not to have any side effects at all.
Cazz - I'm so sorry to hear about your shoulder. Sounds painful, and very bad timing :hug:
Turns out it wasn't AF a few days ago ... just spotting ... and AF arrived in full force today. Had a little cry in the shower, and I couldn't bring myself to tell DH face to face, so I texted him after he'd left for work. Is that silly?
-
Cherie, that is not silly at all. On this rollercoaster we do what we have to do. You and dh sound like you have a wonderful relationship and I am sure he totally understands why you told him the way you did. Hope af is not too bad for you and you can put the disappointment of last month behind you and move on to this month with some positive vibes.
-
Cherie, so sorry that AF showed. Hoping that this cycle will be the one.

Hi guys locking this thread now, new one is here
