I am on 1st FSH cycle now 8 DPO )I think- how do you work this out?-( I had trigger 9DPO)
On pregnyl injections and have BT on 9th Feb too- same day as Neptune! Also my birthday so a bit worried about having a truly terrible birthday!
I have not been given ANY info from the Fertility Clinic about this- what am I supposed to be doing/not doing/ feeling etc. I have had really sore ovaries for several days which has now stopped. Is this good or bad???
Anyway, hoping al of us have a lot of luck this month, and if not, can deal with it with courage (not like me crying at my desk for an hour like last time!) and move on to success next month!
Saph - So sorry that this month wasn't your lucky one. I'm glad you've got a plan worked out, it's the best way to move forward.
Aleenta - I hear you about the delusional thinking! We were talking baby names last night. EEEKKKK. Now that's going to hurt if we are not UTD
WLAB - I PM'd you my name so we can catch up on face book! Hope you're feeling okay.
Welcome Lyra Stardust! Love the name. We can anticipate the 9th together! I sure hope you have a WONDERFUL birthday.
Hey to everyone else.
AFM: Last pregnyl this morning. I don't feel any symptoms now which is odd. Last time I felt pregnant, so this is weird. Anyway, today I will finish my essay, because otherwise I will go insane. I hate marijuana, and don't know why I picked it as a stupid topic to write on....maybe I thought it would be easy!!!!!
Good wishes to everyone hope today will be a good day!
Neptune- I have 1 pregnyl today and then 1 wednesday, didn't realise the schedules varied so much between clinics. I'm not really feeling anything either. Also have been thinking about things and I think I ovulated on 23rd which would make me 17 dpo on my blood test day. Aren't I likely to get AF before that if it hasn't worked??? I dont get it. If it has come do I still get my blood test?? I was wondering if the pregnyl would delay my period or something. If anyone could shed some light I would be most grateful!! The nurses at my clinic are distinctly unfriendly and don't really encourage question asking!
Hi Lyra : Every clinic is different , did you have IUI ? They make the BT after af would "normaly" be expected, so if you are going to get a positive, its a clear positive, and vise versa, they like you to get the BT even of your period (af) arrives because you can still bleed and be pregnant. And as for you nurses being unfriendly, I wouldnt put up with that !!! My FS's bedside manner has been questionable, and I am no longer putting up with that either ... Ring up and complain to some-one without leaving your name, they need to get there act together and be supportive ...
Well, as you can all tell, I am on the rampage, probably b/c af arrived ..... OHHHHHHHHH I cant beleive it , another cycle, I dont even make it to BT ... :-( ....... I am making an appt with a new FS, and the only one good thing out of this is I have hit the safety net, so I will save our pennies, and get back into another cycle in March ... grrrrrrrrrrr
Wouldloveabubba - I'm so sorry! I can't believe it. Sending you heaps of cyberhugs, that is so unfair. A new FS plus hitting the threshold are positives though, so I"m sure you will move forwards in every sense next month.
WLB - Oh no! I'm sorry about ur BFN. I don't know why but I was sure you would be a positive. Probably because of the positive ora you exude. Keep it up and you will get a BFP very soon. I know it!
Oh, and I agree about the FS need to learn to have a friendly bedside manner. We spend thousands of dollars every year with these clinics and many of us are on the edge. The least they can do is show us a bit of empathy, kindness and give us the time of day to ask questions. Sure, some of the questions we might repeat 10 times (guilty!) but if that's what makes us more confident and gives us a more positive attitude to what is only to be descibed as one of the most difficult experiences in ones life, then they should allow it and encourage it. Otherwise, go get a job in a lab where there's no personable interaction!!!
There, I've said my piece. As like you WLB, it is something I believe strongly in. Rest up for the next month and we'll see you im March gorgeous ox
Thanks wouldluvabubba! Very helpful info. I'm SO sorry that AF has arrived. What a shame. Big hugs.
About the nurses, complaining has crossed my mind but I suspect like I would just sound like a hormonal stressed woman (which is what I am!). It's nothing really concrete but it's just lots of little things that add up and make me not want to talk to them! They're very proffessional but they just have no empathy or friendliness and I get the feeling they couldn't give a toss whether it works or not for me. I wonder if they just get blase about the whole thing as they're dealing with it every day- but still a smile wouldn't go astray! I'd be interested to hear if others have similar or different experiences.
hi lyra stardust,
my clinic sends out a patient survey form at the end of the cycle for feedback. Ask if your clinic has one, that would be the place to do it.
but i know what you mean, it's an awkward situation. My clinic are very good and professional and the rest, but sometimes a little blase. they forgot to ring me for my FET appointment time.. i ended up calling on saturday monring because i needed ot know for work on monday... i explained that and they were very apologetic but still annoyed me.
good luck girls
WLBA - hugs for you darl. i feel like i'm in a production line - jab, jab, jab, bloat, suck out eggs, jab, jab, wait, wait, wait, bleed, bleed and back to the start again. but they reckon its all worth it!
Wouldloveabubba - So sorry about AF sweety. Try and stay positive and look toward the next cycle hun.
I also have a question, can anyone tell me if there are any symptoms ithin the TWW???
When I lay down and bring my legs up my lower abdo feels different like its a bit tight which it didn't feel like before. Don't want to get too excited if its no sign of anything.
I had my last pregnyl inj on Wednesday and just on the crinone cream now. Decided today to do a HPT this morning and got a negative. Is 5 days after transfer too soon for a negative or just too early for a positive.
I am having blood test Friday and I know they say to wait ... But thats easy for them to say.
Hello all you lovely ladies I have been MIA for a week or so been super busy with work
Neptune= Hope the Pregnyl isn't sending you too Crazy
WLAB= I am so sorry the turned up that is not fair hope you are holding up ok with the heat down you way
Aleenta= Hope all is well
Saph 204= So sorry to hear your BFN
Loops12= Hope AF stays away for you and that you are handling the Pregnyl side effects ok
Spring= Your BT is due same day AF is due for me Hope your not going too crazy with the wait
Rob= Welcome and good luck
Babysteps= Welcome we are neally at the same stage my AF is due 4th Feb hope she stays away and good luck with your BT
Lyra Stardust= Welcome to the mad house, I am afraid to say the sore ovaries is a side effect of the pregnyl that I also suffer
To anyone that I missed I am sorry and good luck
AFM= I have stopped having any sort of symptoms at all now I think that AF is on her way as my face has broken out as it does right before she arrives I guess I have come to the point where I am prepared for either outcome I know there is no way of changing it so there is no point in fighting it. I noticed that alot of you ladies can't help yourselfs from POAS before your BT I am the opposite I usually can't bring myself to do it as I don't want to be dissapointed any earlier then I have to be but I am thinking of doing it this time maybe either Monday or Tuesday but I don't know if I should. I am also wondering if I should ask my FS about maybe moving onto IUI's soon as OI and timed Intercourse doesn't seem to be working but these are all things I will have to work out after Wed keeping my fingers crossed AF stays away.
WLAB, I'm sorry to hear that AF arrived this morning. I know how you feel, the same thing happened to me as well today. That ends my cycle, and I'm also leaving BB for a while. I'm going on an overseas holiday for a month shortly so we won't be back TTC until April or May. Then I think my doctor wanted to start me on IVF after the 2 failed IUI cycles, I'm not sure how I feel about that just yet but I have a few months to think about it.
I have to call my clinic tomorrow morning to tell them about AF, I don't know if they'll still want me to go in on Tuesday for a bloodtest or not. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
Good luck to everyone who's still going, I'm sending you lots of babydust.
HI ladies - guess I am ready to join the looney bin of TWW. Had 2 x day 5 blasts transferred this morning. Not feeling very confident at all about this one as I have had real issues with my lining this cycle but had to give it a try. My BT would be due around 10th Feb I think. Will get a time tomorrow
WLAB - so sorry AF has reared her ugly head. Hoping your new FS can bring renwed hope
Lyra - I do think it would be easy for a lot of IVF staff to get emotionally "detached". Bottom line is that it IS just a job for them. Not that I think this is exusable. They can make a HUGE difference to the emotional toll of ART and really, being empathetic should be part of the job description. Just hope you don't have to many more dealings with them
Wishingbaby - I can't resist the POAS. I need to know if i should expect AF or not. Certainly wouldn't go into a bT without knowing the result. Would just be to hard to hear that over the phone.
Well done though on holding out!
Babysteps - so sorry for BFN for you to. Hope your time away brings a much wanted suprise... holiday baby?
