[Goldilocks]

Hi Frustrated. Ive just read you post, Hope you dont mind.. we are in the same position we did icsi also. We have no medical insurance (not til May).. i had to go in twice this year & then pay for the ivf , which we got most of it back due to medicare, but not the hos & anethestist part. Im due for my blood test in about 2hrs.. dreading it as i got AF last night... so upset. How are you going with it all ..

Thanks heaps and i agree i will pay what ever it takes to try and get my bubba. I have private health insurance so thats good

Hope your cruising along smoothly. Got my appointment in a couple of hours, cant wait to start again. When im not activly doing anything to try and get pregnent i feel like im sitting here wasting time and the healthy eating and stuff just goes out the window. Back on the wagon today

GOLDILOCKS. try stay positive, They say that people can still seem lke they have af but are pg. I really feel for you i know how frustrating the wait is then for that to happen i cant imagine. But try stay positive. After i had the collection i had 2 weeks off work, 1 week to recover from collection then another week off after they did the transfer i honestly think this helped me. I tried to do everything that i possibly could to try make this work, and was in total shock when we got that BFP. I still everyday expect something to go wrong. So far so good tho, 1st viability scan next friday so i will feel alot more at ease when i have that done.
GOod luck, Please let me know how it all goes.. Thinking of you

Eveything is great so far tammara, feeling a little queesy today and headaches but i can handle that..

How exciting i bet it seems like it has taken a life time to get to todays app... GOOD LUCK and fingerscrossed that this is the last time for you

Thanks, im going to give the injections a month then go straight into ivf i think. Have to talk to FS of corse and see what he thinks but i hate not doing anything

[tammara]

Went to the FS today and looked at the pics of my surgery (very interesting) and the doc said he would let me go naturally for a couple of months to try and get preg but with hubby working away thats not an option unfortunately so i will wait another 3-4 weeks to see if i get another period then if not i will get the bloods done and start the injections.

So hopefully i wont get another one and get my BFP

[Frustrated]

Oh Tammara, Good luck i know you will get that long awaited BFP..

Hello All,

Im on my 2nd round of Clomid, & today is the day my P's are due, i have had the sore boobs, which i get every month with my Period, & only slight unnoticeable pain, but obviously like you all i try to find things to distinguish, My sister has said with both her pregnancy she had excruitiating Period pain, so i guess i dont know what to think.
Im just hoping that they dont come.

Hey Keli!im still here, just trying to keep positive, i am a very emotional person in general so i have been even more emotional lately, im sure everyone relates.. please let us know how you go, if you get them this month, seems like we are around the same cycle, todays my 28th day & i normally get them between 28-30, im the same as you, i havent had much period pain, & im constantly thinking about it, its awful feeling, im so down, & worst of all My best friend, (who has had 7 abortions in the past) is due to have a baby in January, im to be GodMother, which i am thrilled for her, i am, i am helping alot with the Baby shower, but as you can imagine, its really affecting me mentally thinking how many girls have abortions, but the people that want one so bad they would do anything for have to go through so much. (im so emotional)

Hi Emily, im fairly new to this all too! & as soon as i joined, i started to feel better immediately, knowing that everything i go through so many other gals can relate to aswell, Not sure if i have missed this, Can i ask what is your Difficulty in Concieving? PCOS?

Goodluck all!

Jess.. X

[tammara]

Hey Jess.

i totally agree with you about seeing the women that have abortions then concieve so easy it makes me very angry and think it is just such a waste, but i guess everyone has a reason for doing things. At least we all know when we do get our bubs it will be loved more than anything in the world.

Sorry I haven't posted in here for a while but saw your thread & thought I could offer help. So annoyed I had a whole long post done and whenI hit submit I lost the lot! Bl**dy Have to try & remember it all now.

Tammara, The costs vary clinic to clinic. Mine were similar to Frustrated's but we were in health fund so we claimed some but with an extra $1800 as hubby had sperm morphology & antibody issues and ended up having to get his sperm sample surgically. If you are willing to travel it might be cheaper, my bestie goes to a clinic in Sydney & pays a fair bit less than us, & I have another IVF friend who travels from the Gold Coast to Sydney for all her procedures & reckons she saves a stack. Most IVF clinic websites have a price list so you just have find out from your FS exactly what you need done & compare. There is also a Costs Involved With IVF thread on here, you should find it under the forums index. Good luck and I hope it works for you.

Frustrated, you don't have to leave this site cause you pg, but there are plenty of pg threads on here to join. The direct follow on from this one is Pregnancy After LTTTC (in the Long Term TTC section) or off the main forums index there is Belly Buddies, where you can join a thread for your trimester or also in there is threads for girls due in the same month/fortnight as you. I find them really helpful to chat to ppl who have been & are going thru exact same things as you, many who already have kids & can give you great advice. Sorry to here of your people probs, just remember everyone acts out for a reason, maybe something is going on in there life that you don't know about? My Sis-In-Law was a total psycho when I was pg with DD1. Later after we made up we found out she had ben suffering Depression. I hope you can find a peaceful solution so you can get on & relax & enjoy your time pg. Good luck and I wish you a h&h pg.

Sending to the rest of you still waiting for your miracle hopefully Santa brings us all the special present we want for chrissy.
