Luckstrike I hope the passes you by really quickly.
Alloy not to long until your FS appointment that you can start IVF straight away.
Kaydee how is all the reading going?
AFM AF showed this morning.....when I had my BT on Friday I told them that I wouldn't be doing another cycle, but they have since called and have asked me to try one more time before I see the FS....they have said that the last 2 months that I haven't ovulated properly so they will increase my trigger from 5000 to 10000 so there will be no reason for me not to ovulate. So back to the clinic on Monday morning for US and if this cycle doesn't work we have out FS appointment on the 18th August to work towards.
I hope that everyone else is doing well , it is about time that we get a I think Polyanna was the last to get a +ve with IUI....and that seems like a long time ago.
Well I m still lurking around but not doing a hell of a lot at the moment.... our FS appointment is not until the end of August and right now I m trying to just deal with the EDD of my little angels. So I m just quietly hovering around.... when I get my act together and stop sulking... you will all end up sick of me So enjoy the peace and quiet while you can
Angelbabies I am so sorry to hear that it is close to your EDD
AFM I went to the clinic this morning to have my US and I have another massive cyst...they wernt sure what it is so they did another BT to see if I am preg and as predicted it has come back negative. Hearing the nurses say it twice in 3 days doesnt get any easier.
Amy - I know there's not really much I can say, I'm so sorry to hear about your BFN and now a cyst
Angel Babies - to you too. No doubt about it, EDDs of angels suck I had mine for my angel in April and it was another one of the worst days of my life. Take care of yourself.
Alloy - I hope everything happens fast for you!
Lucky Strike - Yay for making the TWW! I hope it flies by for you with a BFP at the end
swirl - Hope you are going OK!
AFM, my scan today showed a 10mm follie, 2 6mm ones and a few other smaller ones. So still getting there, but a lot more slowly this month. Stupid body! I'm back for a BT on Wed and probably another scan on Friday at this stage. Maybe we might get to IUI this weekend after all Kaydee!! LOL
Well I think I m just about done with all the sulking..... time to put my head up and move forward.... I keep picturing looking down having one of my angels in each arm.... but I ve just got to deal with it and move on.
Soooo I have my appointment with my FS in August and from what I have read and looked through, my thought was that I lean towards IUI instead of IVF again... its DH s swimmers that need a little assistance so maybe... just maybe standard IUI will give them the help they need.
I would love to hear some of your experiences with IUI... I walked into IVF not knowing a thing... I would much prefer to know something this time around.
I look forward to getting to know you all much better.
Hi Ladies,
I have been missing in action for a while, just catching up on the thread, so sorry to hear that there hasnt been any positive news, we definately need some!
Since I last wrote on here, I have completed 1 natural cycle , but monitored as i was going back to the uk mid cycle so could not do anything assisted. I wanted to do this to see what my body did naturally, that time around I only took liqid vitex and did the pregnyl injections as prog support, unfortunately at ovulation time and for 2 weeks following I came down with the worst cold ever and had to fly back to the uk, so knew that there was no chance of preg that cycle as i felt very very ill. Interestingly though my day 21 prog levels were 66, which is way higher than any assisted iui cycles that i did, the nurse was very excited, kept saying it was a fantastic result. These prog levels mean that I had a good quality ovulation, so I am doing the same again this cycle, just coming up to ovulation now! I am still in the uk, just got back from 2 week hols in France, I had a fab time and this break was just what I needed, I now realise how stressed I was, which certainly wont help! After the last failed iui cycle I met with my FS and agreed to go onto ivf when i return from the uk if I dont succeed naturally, I am now thinking that I may give it a little longer on the vitex, as I feel hell of alot better on it than those drugs! and seem to be getting a better response, I also have been consistently ill for the last 3 months, think my body needs a break!
Amy- if you have to wait this cycle out, why dont you try vitex as well, as it sounds like you had a similar prob to me, my prog was always low as well, and short LP. Many girls in the park swear by it who had problems conceiving, I also fell pregnant on it in Jan but unfortunately miscarried very early on. it is best to start from beginnning of cycle, but it sounds like you are not far in . you get it from a health food shop, it must be the liquid stuff though, 2 mls in the morning first thing.
Kaydee- Im sorry to read about your last cycle, It sounds like you are ready for the next step now. I will also be going down that path if i dont succeed this way, I just feel i need a break from it all though.
good luck to all those in the 2ww, I get back to oz mid july, enjoying the summer here at the mo.
take care ladies

It is so good to hear from you again and I am glad to hear that you are having a lovely holiday.
I just read your post and went straight down to our local Health Food shop and purchased Vitex (liquid) and OMG it tastes discusting!!!! I was not expecting it to be that bad....but if it helps than I will do it.
How long do you take it for? Do you take it for the whole cycle? I can't believe that it can make that much of a difference, but it is nice to do something natural for a while.
Hope everyone is doing well. I have been in the 2WW since Friday and so far no signs of anything, and still no tender breasts as I mentioned in an earlier post.
I guess it will just be a waiting game and I'll either be starting IVF or celebrating a BFP in a couple weeks.
Fifi - hope you are enjoying your trip. I am new to this thread but sounds like I will be hearing more from you, hopefully to say your cycle resulted in a BFP! Hope the natural cycle works out for you. Wouldnt that be nice!
Angel Babies - sorry have been thru such a hard time, I can only imagine how hard it must be for you. I hope you have many happy days ahead to help you get past this. As for IUI, this is my 2nd go at it. I thought our FS would get us to do ICSI b/c my DH low count, but he though IUI would be an option b/c we conceived out DD naturally. I am not very optimistic about it to be honest, but thought we'd try it as a start. I think you should do what the FS recommends, if its IUI then its a much simpler option, but if its IVF, then you need to cosider that also and find out what the reasons are.
Megsmum - good luck at your next US and hope the follies are big enough to proceed. My cycle was a weird one too this month, so dont worry.
Amy - sorry about the cyst, but perhaps a rest is good for you anyway. Going thru all this can be quite stressful and a break is probably not a bad idea sometimes.
Kaydee and Alloy - hi! and hope you dont have to wait to long to get to the next step.
And hi to anyone I missed, hope you are going well!
