Farmgirl, Kaydee and Alloy - so sorry guys that this wasn't your month either, but sending you all some very positive vibes to have a happy and muched longed for BFP before Christmas, wouldn't that be a wonderful Chrissy present - couldn't think of anything better.
Alloy - I have been going to Concept, but have actually been thinking about changing to one of the other clinics in Perth, mainly due to the low success rates for over 40's at Concept. I to have to wait to see my FS, tried calling his offices today, but his is away also until next week, but if we do choose to do another stim cycle we will have to wait the one month period and then start again on the next cycle - so am guessing that won't be until November - the month I turn 43. I will keep my fingers crossed that one of the other FS at Fertility North will be able to see you, so you can start FET asap. The process shouldn't stop just because our FS are away on holiday.
You never know we might all be back in here for one more go of the TWW for 2008.
Stay strong guys
Best of luck to you too Muppity for your TWW, hope that it brings a BFP.
Hi,
I had a few complications with my last IVF cycle in Aug/Sept 08 and google led me to this forum. Reading all of your posts gave me so much insight and also made me realise that I certainly wasn't going through this alone. My ET was late August and I was hospitalised a few times with hyperstimulation and chest pains (although no one could ever seem to diagnose me) - I was so ill. In all my previous attempts, I only ever took 1-2 days of work, but this time I was forced to take almost 10 days off.
Always trying not to constantly look at signs and trying to determine if its the damn drugs or real pregnancy signs. I had my hopes up and was convinced that not only 1 would stick, but they both would and finally, I would get my happy little family I've been fighting so hard to have. Well, my count was 7 - so a BFN (altthough it took me a while to work out what those initials meant!) and I was devastated. I'm not one to cry, but this time tore my heart out. I had been so good and took it easy and well, it still didn't work. I couldn't even verbalise my heartache.
Reading this site helped and 3 weeks later and I'm on day 21. DH and I couldn't book in to see ouf FS for our FET this month, but thought we would try again this month naturally. I've re-read Better Babies and have cut out caffeine, white bread and all those processed yummy things to see what happens.
I guess, my main reason for joining and posting this is - well, 3 weeks later and I'm hopeful again. After such devasting news, I'm amazed that we are able to pick ourselves up and try again. I just wanted to express this for any of the unlucky ladies who haven't been successful this month to understand and appreciate how strong we all are in going through this. I hope "Hope" quickly returns for you.
