Shezbelle - Hope everything goes wonderfully tomorrow. :)
Thanks Guys... I am going to need it tomorrow!
Shezabelle, I always had a feeling you and I were going to go round the same time again! We both had our cycles cancelled pretty much the same time and not tomorrow we both have our transfers! Wishing you all the luck in the world!! Hope we both have some great news in a couple of weeks!
Ladies, I need to vent... I really shouldn't be getting so worked up the day before transfer BUT my brotherinlaw called me today and told me if I was ready to be an Aunt again! His wife is pregnant!! They just started trying!! I was sooo happy for them...UNTIL they said, cmon we have to go together!! We want out kids to grow up together!! Your turn is just around the corner!! I can not tell you how this broke my heart!! Are people really this insensitive!?!?!?!!? They have known what I have been going through for over 3 years and it's like they choose to be ignorant!!
To top it off, I had my 2 sisterinlaws and motherinlaw ringing me to know if i'm ok!!! can you believe that!! Of course I told them I was happy as I wouldn't want them to think I have ill feelings toward her cause I don't.. I just think they could have handled it better.
I haven't stopped crying..still am actually... I just don't know if I can handle another let down... ESPECIALLY NOW!!
My DH just does not understand and I need to calm down... but what if this cycle doesn't work?? I want to stay positive but I am scared. I want to pretend tomorrow isn't a big deal but how?
Anyway, I need to get some rest.... and with all your blessings.. tomorrow is the new beginning I have longed for... fingers crossed!

Goodluck Starbright :hug: - it can be so hard - maybe he was trying to be 'encouraging' but is clueless about being sensitive doing it.
The SIL /mother too - they might think you have a problem and want to check how your are. Sometimes people mean well but it makes things worse.
It hurts yes and we are here for you to vent anytime.
Do they actually know how close you are to FET ?
Cross the bridge when you come to it and take each day as it comes the next 2 ww will be very difficult as it is with all the recent events in the picture. Be positive and say a positive mantra .
Starbright - I hope all goes well tomorrow. I suggest that you take a big breath and try to relax (easier said than done I know!).
It might pay to cut your family some slack - they haven't walked in your shoes and would not know how hard it is for you, although it sounds as though they have tried their best to be understanding and supportive. They perhaps just dont know exactly how. I have had my own mother make insensitive comments, believe me I know it hurts (eg. "I just had to look at a guy & I fell pg", and "you didnt get your problems from me" and other such pearlers.) But deep down I know that she was trying - she just doesnt know what to say or how to say it. To me it sounded as though your BIL was trying to buck you up.
Fingers crossed that it does work out sweetie. Your turn IS around the corner petal, lets just hope that tomorrow is your corner! :hug:
Cheers

Hello ladies
Well to add insult to injury Dr tells me uterus looks fine on HSG but fallopian tubes have a blockage!! that knocked me sideways. I absolutely didn't expect that. It means pregnancy naturally will probably never happen combined with hubby's problem.
Doc says it has absolutely no impact on the success of the IVF which I suppose is good news but I arrogantly walked around for the last 9 months thinking the burden was with my husband.
Firt jab March the second then! so Im concentrating on getting my mind and body ready to go for it, because I'm honestly not sure I'll be doing it again.
Sorry for the auto-rant but I'll be back to do personals when I've calmed down and can be positive!! Rrraaaaaagh!!!
Baby~amore` & Blue Sky, this particular BIL & SIL have always been in competition with DH and me. For the last few years they have said and done some stuff to offend us. She of all people should know how sensitive this whole infertility is as she has ENDO and a lap a month after my 2nd one. They never told us they have been trying for months, I guess if they did I could have been abit more prepared. As you can tell we are are not close to tweedledee and tweedledum.
The whole family knew about our last cycle and we found noone supported and comforted us so we haven't told them about todays. We would much prefer to do things that is going to make us happy this time round and if theres great news...we will tell them after 3 months.
sararms, get it all out of your system! It is unfortunate that there is blockage but I have known someone that had it with one missing ovary and she still fell pregnant so try and stay positive..
Yes, I know I should practice what I preach! lol
Feeling much better today, especially watching a clip called "empty arms" Leis had put up. It was like years and years of holding back tears all came out last night. I cried so hard I thought I was going to throw up. It was right on the mark in every way.
I am now ready for what God brings my way!

oh Ladies I sorry to hear a few of you are having a tough time at the moment - I just wanted to encourage you to stick to those that understand the situation and the related emotions...like all your friends in here. People have the best intentions and they just dont realise. My girlfriend fell pregnant within 4 weeks of coming off the pill and she means well when she tells me I will love being a mum and how wonderful it is bla bla bla......she knows how long we've been ttc and about my probs.....I just feel like slapping her sometimes.....she woudn't even know what CM is or BBT.
I'd like to share something with you that I read the other day about how your conscious mind makes up 12% of your brain and your subconscious makes up 88%...this is why some say it makes sense to tell yourself poitive things all the time ('pray') so that your body believes in what you are telling it (I will o, the IUI will take and the sperms will fertilise the ovum).....….one article read 'because trying to conceive can be stressful and highly emotional, if you can at least stop yourself from being self critical then that is one less stress to cope with. Be good to yourself. Nurture yourself, just as you are preparing to nurture another.
And remember the mind is a powerful tool and it can be used to create a positive fertile space within you ...'
Its helped and reminded me to try and stay more positive. Worth a try I guess.
Starbright - I have a friend who does a similar thing. The four of us plan to go on an overseas holiday next year and when we get back is when they will start ttc. She has said to me and you can be pg then and our children will grow up together!! Yeah, that is how it is going to happen, I just put my order in. Have you not been around for the last 5 years!!! It's funny because she can be so supportive sometimes & then come out with comments like that. What can we do do? All we can do is pick ourselves up when these things get us down and move on to the next day with positive thoughts & hope that our babies will be in our arms very soon. Empty Arms was just beautiful, I am glad you had a cry. Really wish some tears had of fallen for me. I just won't let myself cry about the big stuff in my life but I'll cry about stupid things like dh not picking up his dirty clothes off the floor (mind you this is when my hormones are running crazy!!!).
Sk - that is true about the concious & subconcious. We have to stay positive as in the long run it will help!!
Hi Girls....Wow so much has been said since last time I was on. Didn't get a chance to jump on yesterday so bare with me......
Cherie - Hi there....the clinic went okay...i'll let you know down a bit further in this post....hope you're doing well...LOL at hubby getting an orgasm. I might use this on mine next time.
Jane - Wow.....3kgs. Thats fantastic. Last year I lost 16kg, but since I've been on the clomid i've stacked on 10kg in the last few months. Not Happy Jan(e). I just have to keep trying to get it all to come off again. Easier said than done though hey....
Sushee - Hi...how's things going with you...
Shez - I have everything possible crossed for you today. Good luck and preying you've got a sticka....
lil_chookie - I'll explain about the appointment below and congrats to you on your 100th post....good luck with catching that eggie.....
Suzy - How are you going...i've been thinking about you. Hope you are okay.....
Michelle - whats going on with you. It must be getting close to start DTD....DH is right in that you may not be showing a weight loss on the scales due to muscle mass increasing. My little tip is to take measurements once a week and even if the scales show no change, the measurements should because even though muscle weighs more than fat, it takes up less room so you should be shrinking.....fingers crossed...
Starbright - i know exactly how you feel re your BIL. My brother and SIL did the same to me except none of us have any kids and they know that we've been trying for 4 years and everything else and they just came out with a 'guess what you're going to be an aunty'. Trust me, it takes a long time to come to terms with it. They are about 17 or so weeks now and she is just starting to show and i still can't handle seeing them as it's a constant reminder, so i have just tried to stay away from them as much as possible so i can get my head around it. Plus i've stopped telling my family where i am at and whats going on. Just 2 close friends, so i have at least someone to talk to (other than all you girls in here though) I know they are trying to understand what i'm going through, but it's hard coz they aren't going through it. I'm starting to be okay with it now, but it's going to take a long time before i can be there for them like they want me to. But at the moment i need to concentrate on me. Good luck for today. I'll be thinking about you......
Sararms - if it's not one thing it's another hey....i'm so sorry to hear about the blockage. I guess that this is one reason that they invented IVF in the first place. Keep your chin up. It's not all over yet.....
sk - Welcome ...... this will be interesting when it comes to personals, as we are both Shan.LOL...I'll stick to sk if you don't mind. I get confused enough as it is...You are so right about your conscious and subconscious thoughts and thats why this forum is so wonderful because no matter how bad or down you feel, you can simply vent your frustrations, get them out of your system and have all the wonderful ladies come back to you with such positive thoughts. I'd be lost now without BB....
Everyone else - hello to you all...xoxoxox
Me - Wow i've written a novel already. Well the appointment was a bit suprising. I went in expecting to have to get a D&C or something, but it turns out that the bleeding (which by the way had nearly gone until they did the internal) was due to a cyst on my ovary, which has in turn gone away by itself (thank god) and that the heavier bleeding that started on the 18th Jan was actually an early period (last cycle only ended up being 23 days).
So now i am on CD15. I had a 15mm follie on Monday so should be due to ovulate any day now. Have some OPK's. Yesterday there was no line, but this morning a really feint line, so it could happen really soon. I'll do another one this arvo.....
The girls at the clinic think that it could be a dud round because i haven't had any clomid and my lining is really thick that they don't think it could sustain a pg...., but i figure that if there's a follie there, then it's worth a shot. They are looking at putting me on Metformin due to the clomid affecting my weight, so that will be interesting.....i'll find out today if they want me to take it.
I have to go and have a BETA done on the 15th (unless AF arrives before that) and if it's positive, then YAY for me, but if it's negative then they will bring on AF and get me going on Clomid once again so that they know exactly where i am within my cycle...
If anyone could give me any info on Metformin, that would be great.
Thats about the extent of it anyway....hope you are all having a good day.
OK, I'm going to try personals today....here goes....
Cherie - hope things are going well for you
Jane - I think people somtimes get us mixed up, but well done on the weight loss.... I've been on holidays and I think I may need to go on a diet too now.
sushee - hope all is well with you. Did your clan go back to school today aswell?
Shez - good luck. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you.
Lil chookie, Michelle, Starbright, Suzy, Sararms, sk, Tam and Mrs Mac and Baby amore, and anyone else Ive forgotten, hope you are all OK.
My DS went back to school today, yr 1..he was fine, I came home and cried. I guess it really hit me that he's growing up so fast....and still being on holidays, I think the empty nest syndrome hit me... I had hoped there would be another baby to take care of by now, but of course there isn't....
Advice please, Perth girls..... any of you been to a naturopath or Chinese herbalist. DH and I are thinking of doing it, as well as the traditional stuff...just don't know.... can you recommend anyone. I rang one lady, and she wanted to start pushing vitamin supplements on us without even seeing her, put me off a bit!
Anyway, hope are all having a good day.
Hugs
Janee

Magic - Sheree is the one to ask - she is WA girl and just got BFP
I cried too sending my big DS off to highschool yr7
Hi Shan,
Wow - you do post well!!! I know you are talking to me (I get confused with all the Michelle's about so I wait until I am sure it is me you are talking to or otherwise :oops: )
I did what you suggested at the gym yesterday and found my waist had shrunk 3" (about 7.5cm - my instructor uses the smaller numbers of inches rather than centimeters ;)) since pre-Caitlyn. I also put on about 10kg on Clomid 12 months ago and still find it won't move. Not on the dreaded drug yet but we'll see what happens in the next few months.
I am a little happier with the size decrease but I STILL wish the scales would show some change!!
Metformin is a drug usually prescribed for Type II diabetes and often for PCOS. It increases weight loss for PCOS patients due to an improved use of energy (many with PCOS have some sort of insulin resistance). Insulin resistance can also alter the hormones of the reporductive cycle which makes it harder to conceive. There are many different sites that discuss the use of Metformin in PCOS (as well as the advantages / disadvantages and side effects).
I have ?? insulin resistance (borderline results) and found that the gym seemed to improve this (and then I got pregnant!!). Considering it was the 4th cycle of Clomid I don't think the drug was the catalyst.
Currently CD 11 with CM changes indicating ovulation is on the way - woohoo!!! BD'ing in progress (partly for the fun and partly for the timing) so wish me luck.
Sending a big hello to everyone and lots of :pdust:
Michelle
Hi Guys thanx for the [-o< . Keep them up haven't had the best 24hrs.
Found out last night that my cousin (who lives in NZ and I hardly know really) took her life yesterday, she was suffering from PND and has a 1y.o.
Then today at the transfer they ended up having to thaw all 5 to get just one. So [-o< this is a sticker (seems to be proving to be a fighter so far) or next step will be a full stim cycle. Needless to say I'm a little shell shocked. Thanx again for the well wishes
Starbright hope you went well today.
Shez, sorry to hear about your cousin. That kind of story is just heartbreaking, even if you don't know the person involved. Such a waste and so terribly, terribly sad. That kind of desperation and depth of depression is truly tragic.
As for your thaw rate...hey, you only need one and I'm sure this one must be a little fighter.
Good luck!
OM gosh Shez - :hug: what a terrible thing to happen - the poor mum not seeing any other way and her grieving family /child. So tragic
My heart goes out to you at the this very sad and difficult time.Even if you didn't know her well - it will still make you very upset and shocked.
Thinking of you.I had the same thing it took 5 embryos to get 2 (but only 1 and 2 cells at that ),then last sole embryo didn't survive thaw on my next FET (so no goer).
[-o< & hoping this little snowbub and you :pinkstick: :bluestick: and I have everything crossed for you.
Starbright - how did you go ?
take care Shez
with hope
Trish
OM goodness Shez that is just horrible. My heart goes out to you & your family.
All the best for your lil snowbub. I really pray this is your time.
Hope you are ok Starbright. Please let us know how you did today! Hope some of David's magic rubbed off :crossfingers:
Shez - so sorry about your cousin. Sending lots of sticky vibes for your transfer
Starbright - hope you are feeling better. I have a friend that was funny about getting preg at the same time. When I miscarried back in 04 she was almost peeved with me for trying before she was ready. My favourite comment was when she said that it was probably not a bad thing seeing that I was due in Dec and Christmas is too busy to have a baby!! :rolleyes:
Sararms - glad to see you back online, bummer about the blocked tube, did they say that they would do anything about it?
Mrs Mac - glad you finally got some answers
Janee - sorry I went and changed over from j_girl, I am probably making life more confusing for everyone but the old login was a bit daggy.
I have finally calmed down about the lap on friday but not sleeping very well, I am looking forward to getting it out of the way now.
Thanks everyone for the encouraging words about the weight loss, it certainly helps keep me motivated. Its always a battle isn't it?
Shez - I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your cousin's family has all the support it needs.
~Jane~ good luck for Friday.
As for me - LIFE SUCKS!!!! I thought 2005 was my year for deaths / bad things. Last year there were 7 deaths and 6 funerals - including Caitlyn. Unfortunately my Dad rang to tell me my great-aunt died this afternoon. She was a subsitute grandmother of sorts as my Dad's mum died when he was 11. Her funeral is on Friday in Baradine (quite a bit west - 6hrs) near my home town. The funeral itself is not the problem - but the timing is. CD 14 is Saturday so I am considering the options of drive there Friday and back Saturday (to hope for some bd'ing when I return home late). Alternatively, hope the swimmers live long enough to make the journey to meet the eggie while I am away. Otherwise - canel all thoughts of getting pregnant this month. Mum and Dad have said not to come if I don't feel up to it but still - I need to say goodbye and catch up with the family.
My great-aunty was a very funny lady. At a family reunion she gave me contraceptive advice that caused a roar of disapproval between my aunties (her nieces). She said the best contraceptive was an aspirin - held tightly between the knees!! My reply was - but aunty, you've had 8 children. Does it work?? Her response - a wink and the statement "Go out and try it then come back and let me know"!!! :cryinglaugh: I'll miss her - even though dementia had kicked in over the past few years. She was one spunky lady.
I wonder what she would say about me needing the aspirin for any future pregnancy :-k Not the contraceptive she envisaged!!
Ohhhhh Shez! I am so very sorry for your loss!! How tragic!! Keep your chin up girl... need to stay strong through this time! When have they asked you to come in for your result?
Mrs Mac, thanks for all your concern.. did you get the info needed for Metformin?
Skye, hope David works his magic with me as he has with you!!
I experienced some nausea and a fever occured after the transer. I started to panic so I called the off duty DR tonight and she said it wasn't normal to feel what I was feeling and asked me to take my temp. which was 37.1. She said only start to get worried when it gets to 38 and to take some panadol. I am feeling alittle better now although slightly uncomfortable, but might give the nurses a call tomorrow for peace of mind.
Have any of you experienced anything after transer?
Thanks for all your support ladies...means the world to me!

Starbright - Are you seeing David Knight?? We saw him for one visit but then found out we were already pregnant with Caitlyn!! He was quite lovely. Good luck and :crossfingers: We are hoping not to have to go that path again but the next few months will tell.
Michelle
Hi Leis - I see that you're around. Hope you are well.
Hi Ladies,
My shop has been opened for 2 weeks and yesterday was the best day I have had so far. All the clothes I thought would sell the quickest have been, so I am pretty happy with myself!! Have had quite a few pregnant ladies in, maybe i'll catch it lol!!!!
Fairly sure I am about to O. I get bad nausea & anxiety when it is going to happen. The nausea I can deal with but the anxiety drives me nuts. Does anyone else get this?
S
Hi Girls,
Shez - so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you, and i'm sure the rest of the girls would be here for you too. Even though you may not have been close....you can still feel the pain. I'm sure we all can. I'm praying your little snobub is a sticka......fingers crossed for a BFP...
Starbright - I have read a few post here and there about the metformin, and posted a couple of questions, so eagerly awaiting a response. I should find out today if i need to take them or not.
Michelle - big hugs for you. I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt. My nan has dementia so i know how hard that is for family and i know that when she goes (which could be soon) it's going to be tough to try and remember her back before the dementia set in coz the last few years have been quite sad.... LOL re the asprin. Great sence of humor...i love it......thinking of you.....also well done with the inch loss..don't worry about the scales, as long as your body is changing it's all good. You'd be peeved it the scales were going down but your body shape didn't change wouldn't you. As long as the inches keep coming off, you'll soon see the difference in the scales.....
~Jane~ - Good luck with the lap tomorrow. You'll be fine. Says me who was absolutely s**ting my pants about mine (being first time even in hospital and all), but once it was over i didn't really know what i was worried about coz i went to sleep and woke up and it was done......I'll be thinking of you though.
Hi to everyone else and hope you are all okay..
lil_chookie - congrats on the shop and having such a fantastic start. Where abouts in Melb are you...i'd love to drop in next time i'm down that way and check out your stock.....Good work...i'm very proud...
Mrs Mac - I am in Ferntree Gully which is in the outer eastern suburbs.
Lil-Chookie - Excellent. I know where that is, i used to live down that way. I've still got friends down there, so next time i'm down, i'll drop in. Mind you i don't get down to Melbourne very often so it may not happen for quite some time. Good luck with it.
Hi Ladies
hope everyone is good.....I'll have a go at my first round of personals.
Shez terribly sorry to hear about your cousin - its always sad in situations like that.
I have everything crossed for you - good luck and I hope its a sticky one.
Jane - thinking of you and wishing you the best for tomorrows lap - I'm sure you'll feel the benefits after a few days and hopefully next cycle. You'll do great so don't worry yourself.
Lil_Chookie well done with your shop. I used to live in The Basin so I know FTG, hope it continues to go well. I am due to O at any time - but I have not one sign…so not sure, will have to keep waiting. Am feeling very anxious today. Although glad it didn't come early as DH has been away on business and not back till tonight. So we still have hope.
Hi to Starbright, Michelle, Mrs Mac and everyone else sorry if I have missed you :smt039 .
I only have one more work day in the Sydney office and then our house is being packed up next Monday, with pick up of all boxes on Tuesday and delivery to our house in Melbourne on Friday so I'm glad I have that to keep me occupied this month.
Positive energy to everyone.
Hi Ladies,
I have been away for a few days, and have missed heaps already, if i miss you out in the following I apologise :oops: , my brain is drained from driving 500 kms today!
Shez - I am so sorry to hear about your cousin, I wish I knew the right words to say, but just know my thoughts are with you and your family. I am sending sticky vibes your way for the snowbub :bluestick: :pinkstick:
Michelle - I am so sorry to hear about your aunt, she sounds like she would have been such an inspiration. My thoughts are with you, and I wish you lots of luck this month ttc.
SK - Good luck with the move - how exciting!
Lil Chookie - Congrats on the shop, I hope it continues to be successful =D>
I am 2 days late for AF, but I tested yesterday and got BFN, so I guess my 28 day cycles have come to an end. It would be nice if they lasted longer than 2 months after the lap! :fuming: Oh well.
Everyone - good luck this month, I hope Feb brings lots of BFP's :pdust:
Sam xo
Hi guys sorry to whinge again but wow I'm losing it!!
I got home from work today to find that I had inadvertently left the fridge door open all day!! No biggy right a bit of food that can be replaced?? WRONG..41 progesterone pessaries @ $3 each melted and leaking + 2 full boxes of crinone that I didn't use after the fresh cycle was cancelled!! So a blubbering mess I had to get my Mum to drive me to the Dr office so I could buy $123 worth of pessaries!!! UuuuuuuuuuRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Shez - OH NO! what a bummer with the fridge
I am not going to be good with personals tonight, I have a case of nerves with the lap tomorrow, thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts it really makes a difference
I hope everyone is going well, I'll check in the next few days once I get back on my feet
I never had to put my crinone in the fridge Shez - -check with Clinic -unless you house was very very hot
What a cr@p way to end the day
I hope it is all worth for you
Goodluck Jane for tomorrow - hope it does the trick for you and you have a speedy recovery.
Ohhhhh, Shez, that is amazing in it's own little way. At least we know things can only get better for you. Think of it as a story to tell your little-un. Good luck for the rest of the cycle.
Jane, wishing the best for you tomorrow.
Take care
Shez - Oh noooooooo, that sucks..... ](*,)
Jane - Good luck tomorrow, I hope everything goes well. :luck:
I am a little bummed, I got AF today, for some reason I really thought this month was going to be the one, but I guess I was wrong. :cry:
Melbo - I forgot in my earlier message to say thanks for your message from Sunday, it is great to hear a positive story and I wish you lots of luck with your pregnancy. :cheer: Your timing was perfect - I needed cheering up, sometimes things seem a little hopeless!
Sam xox
Hi everyone
Not alot to report. Jane the doc said the only way to be sure it is blocked is if they did a lap and he doesn't want to do one as it bears no impact on the IVF. He also said it may not even be blocked, the dye could have gone down just the one tube!! I personally am not too worried because I had a HYCOSY which is designed for tubes and that was all clear.
I'm just concentrating on getting ready to start again. I'm trying to be positive and eating well, taking my Royal Jelly and supplements. I'm going to tell myself this is going to work. It just has to!!!!
Enough about me, Jane how did your lap go?? Not too bad I hope.
Sorry about the drugs Shez. Sometimes the smallest things just set you off, and that is not so small. Chin up!!
Hi Girls.
Shez - what a bummer. Theres enough cost involved as it is, but to have to re-stock is a real pain. Surely things can only get better from now on....
Well the clinic rang me back about metformin, but they want me to go next week and do a 'Fasting Glucose Tollerance Test' before prescribing the metformin, because if there is an all clear from the test then the metformin won't do anything.
I'm still lightly bleeding, so thats a pain. I've been using the OPK's now for 4 days. Still no positive (i'm on CD17), but last night i got some really really good ferns on the maybe baby. They were so strong and clear. Never had one that good on it before, so you never know. Have been DTD though just in case. It's funny.... when DH and i get busy, the bleeding seems to stop, much to his relief, and then starts up again after. Sorry if TMI, but i just think it's really weird.....
Hope you all have a great day....
Mrs Mac - I have never had a OPK work for me even months when I have been doing them and then had tests done that have shown I have o'd.
Thanks for all the well wishes for my shop, I am just so happy it is opened after all my planning!!!
Hi lovely ladies!
Good luck to everyone for 2006 and I hope to see you all posting from "the other" thread soon...if you know what I mean!!
Hi everyone
The lap went extrememely well. I stayed in overnight so they could pump me up with the anti nausea which worked this time quite well. I had a difference anethetists as well and he gave me full intravenious? (I cant spelly by the way) instead of the gas, I never knew they gave you gas to keep you asleep with GA.
I had endo which had formed into adhesions around my right ovary, endo on my bowel near my left ovary and behind the cervix, which I imagine is why I have been having problems with pain DTD. A few days off work and I will be a new woman I hope.
The other good news is that my tubes were clear and there was evidence that I had ovulated this cycle, so I have come out very positive and ready to tackle what lies ahead with the reproductive specialist in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for all your kind wishes, I was thinking of you all last night having all gone through these as well and so much more, it really gives me stength to draw on.
Oh ~Jane~...... =D> I'm soooo glad that everything went well. Especially the bit about the clear tubes. Pity about the endo, but if you're a new woman at the end of it, then that's the main thing. You never know, now that you've had a good clean out, this next cycle could be the one.
Fingers crossed that it is.
Jane Good for you with the lap. I've never suffered with it but I know troublesome endo is you poor thing. Once they remove it for you, how long are you clear for? Are you definitely having assisted conception or are you going to carry on naturally now you have a bit of relief from the endo?
As for me I'm working hard on getting in really good shape for the big event. I've been having reflexology and I have to say ladies it is amazing!! I haven't felt this good in months and I mean that. I asked her to work on my stress levels initially and to help fertility. I mean the second she puts her hands on me, I relax totally. I fell asleep this time!!! :oops: Anyway I think you all should try it. During stimulation they can help with the ovaries and syptoms you may experience. After embryo transfer they can help with the blood flow to the uterus. I've got a good feeling about this next attempt. It WILL work this time.
Also I have been taking Royal Jelly and it really id good for the skin so I'm going to assume that it's working for the other reason I'm taking it which is improving egg quality.
Sorry for the ranting but WOW I feel great!!
