buggirl, i totally feel the same as you. i don't know what to do next. i find it hard to accept that there is nothing that can be done. my FS never asks me to do any further testing, and i have good embryos/ no frag and then nothing.
my FS seems to feel it will happen, but he dosen't feel my impatience. (just turned 36!)
he knows i have had a daugther naturally, and so he just dosen't seem to give me all the necessary drugs that everyone else uses each month.
i have problems ovulating, and i do believe i need to follow on with prog support.
how do you tell the doc's and nurses how to do there job? they should be the one's advising and giving us all the options.
as i am in cairns i have no other options in the way of FS.
i do need to be stronger with him and tell him what i want to try....
asm now. i have had AF symptoms since monday (CD20). my AF is never later then 26, usually starting around 23-24. i have had a DD and never experienced what they call implantaion pains. so i am just waiting for AF to come so i can get on with another new cycle.
Bridget - so sorry to hear AF arrived Hope you can move forward soon
Kitty- Same with you, I really hope AF arrives for you soon so you can move onto the next stage. Its funny how we all know our bodies so well. Geez you have short cycles mine are more like 35.
buggirl- so sorry...and it's OK to be 'why me', I certainly feel that way about the things I have been through and the fact I am still not pregnant. It's understandable and I am really sorry it didnt happen for you this time
kittykat, sorry it looks like AF is going to arrive for you also. I pray you can have success very soon
afm- well, I too am waiting for AF. By my calculations I am now 14dpo, still negative HPT
and DH and I still wrestling with whether to immediately resume IVF, or try naturally for another cycle. I think I am ready to be a bit more proactive than that, given my situation.
Hi girls,
just had a read through to catch up where you all are. We do always think of you in here, even though our lives have taken a different turn at this point and there is so much more to worry about now being pregnant, than when we were just trying. Some of you will remember me from being in here a couple of months back. I just wanted to say, I know your pain and frustration.
I also know the giving up and consoling with a block of chocolate (ok, 2!) when I thought AF was arriving and I turned out pregnant, so don't give up hope, do your POAS and bloods, you just never know. We only know our bodies so well, but with all these drugs, they trick us sometimes.
Kittycat, I'm really feeling for you and wish you could find a way through with Dr Bob without having to lose your cool. Totally understandable, I'm really surprised about the lack of support you are getting (in terms of drugs that you want). My friend's cycle was 42 days and he got her on drugs to sort that out and she got preg straight away no extra help. IVF and IUI is a relatively young science and they don't have all the answers yet, so try everything. Goodluck.
Just so you don't envy the pg girls too much, oh dear, it's not all beer and skittles. I don't even know form one second to the next whether I am still pregnant or not and tests are few and far between. Noone likes morning sickness, but at least it is some ways comforting to know you are sick for a reason. I went cold turkey off all the supports last week and now there is no swollen bbs or anything from pessaries or other drugs and I'm losing weight. At least I stil have an insatiable appetite that this tapeworm gives me!
All the best and thinking of you and all your trials. Hope you have answers and can move forward soon.
BTW, Congratulations to the girls who have their BFPs. fantastic news and look forward to meeting you in the other thread when you are ready.
Murph- thanks for dropping in. I know how stressful being pregnant is also, having been through stressful first trimester stages, and that anxious time of the 12WW!.... nevertheless...i want to get back there so much! I really hope all is progressing along OK for you.
kittykat- just wanted to add, that you may have read my other thread where i have been diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome...an autoimmune problem. Farmgirl also has this, and they found it to be the reason why her embryos weren't implanting. For me , it is the reason for my losses. Dont be shy when it comes to asking about tests. I truly wish I had been screened when we first began IVF....i would be pregnant now if that had happened.
Hope you can move forward soon
thinking of you all and hope to see you all getting your bfp very soon
