Porche - I sleep ok, although our dog has started sneaking up on the bed. She started low and now this morning when I opened my eyes, I found her curled up on DH pillow beside me lol. She really misses him. Its funny as when we got together he was not a huge fan of hers and three years later they are best buds. He pretends he is not fond, but often find them cuddling and walking around the garden together with him chatting away to her. Its hilarious. Coco is a tibetan spaniel. I have added your name to our list, but I cant see what CD you are.
Bee27 - AF usually comes 3 days after I stop ralovera. FX your comes quick too.
Jane - Thanks for that.
Hi everyone else.
AFM - FS phone consult today at 1.30pm SA time. I hope I can remember everything as I have not had a phone consult before. I want to ask about egg quality and what I can do to improve it in case we need to do another stim. Also I need to ask if our day 2 embies can be grown out to day 5's. And ask about failure to embed issues. I hope I get some answers. I want to line up for another FET as we have 5 snow bubs. Will let you know how I get on.
just a quick one, frostie transfer is on Wednesday! yay - hormones are doing what they are supposed to be, and my lining is nice and thick. So we are transferring a 7 cell 3 day embie scoring 2.5/4.
Yay Kritkit. Thats awesome news. FX for your BFP!!! Actually Wednesday seems like ages away. How come its so far away, if your ready to go?
Vic goodluck with your appointment! Can you bump me on a day on the list I have lost a day! I am cd6 today :)
Krikkit yay for transfer date!
I've lost a day too ;) I'm cd30
Counting down and :pray:ing AF stays away!
Myturn will you do a sneaky test at home first or am I putting naughty thoughts in your head?
Sorry Joeve and myturn. Must have confused myself lol.
FX AF stays away myturn. We are due in here for another BFP! Lets hope its yours.
Planetsasha - Good luck for tomorrow hun. I will be quietly stalking. Lets hope its your turn for a BFP too x
AFM - Just got off phone with FS. Sooooo much easier to have 6 minute phone call than fly over for the day. Yay for phone consults. The plan is to grow out all 5 frosties and see if they make it to blast. If none survive then thats what the issue is. Egg quality. He says he doesn't believe its my uterus not enabling the embroys to embed. If more than 2 survive they will be refrozen. Not too sure on that, but he seems to think its ok. I asked what I can do to improve egg quality and he basically says its 41 year old eggs and not much. I asked about DHEA and he didn't seem interested. He did however suggest with my next stim that I have a small biopsy a few days after I start jabbing at the local doctors. He said its been known to improve pregnancy rates. Not too sure exactly what but he says my gp can do it and no anaesthetic required. Has anyone had something like that done? DH and I are happy enough with the call. So now I have to have a BT today to see what my hormone levels are doing and if nothing I can start progynova to line up for another FET. Just have to pray that at least one frostie makes it to blast.
No sneaky test for me! N2l advises me the pregnyl will mess with it which suits me anyway :) whatever happens will happen and they mess with my head too much!
Ps Vic- glad you feel there's some action at least!
HI everyone!
Goodluck and sunshine to all, gosh it sounds exciting in here already, you all have so much lined up! Im excited to get to where you all are.
Vic - I have been trying for 3 1/2 years but I am very much a newbie. We tried on our own for a little over 2 years and then got some help but it has been such a long road... Im sure I dont have to tell that to anyone in this room though.
I am still trying to figure out my cycles and such, nothing I map out seems to match to what I read on FF etc. But then, I think us chickys with problems tend to have hormones that mess some of the signs up, right? Oh oH!! AND I am getting really super excited but my first ever FS appointment in next week! Im starting to get super excited about it. Finally, a step forward! I know it isnt as exciting as all of your news but I am happy I have something to share with you all for now. :)
Goodluck everyone!!!!
<3 Sunny
Looks like I'm out! AF arrived in full force this morning, will still have to have BT tomorrow though. I had a feeling that it wasn't this time:) & it is only the first cycle of IVF, so many more of you have been trying for so much longer than me.
Vic thanks for keeping on top of the list it makes it so much easier to keep on top of where everyone is at. Can you change me to Day 1 please:) thanks!
PlanetSasha - I'm so very sorry that AF arrived :( I really admire your optimism though. A helpful lesson for me. Thanks. Big hugs.
My turn- Hope AF stays away. You are sso patient not POAS but I guess what would be the point if the meds gave you a false result anyway.
Sunny - Super exciting about your FS appointment coming up.
Vic - Sounds like you appointment went well. You managed to cover a lot in just 6 minutes. Wow. Hoping that your frosties thaw nicely and grow into awesome blasties when the time comes.
Hi to everyone else. Hope you are all doing well.
AFM - Can you guess it.... yep, still waiting on AF :) Think she's decided to skip this visit. It is so strange willing AF to arrive when so many are willing her to stay away. Man this journey can be backwards and inside out all at the same time.
Planetsasha - so very sorry to hear your news hun :hug: No matter how many times you go through it, that moment of "that phone call" or AF showing up is still devasting.
Jane - Do you have to wait the whole 10 days? It must feel like forever for you.
SunnyV - Great news about your FS appointment. Let me know the date and I will add it to the list if you want.
AFM - I have been struggling with my FS phone consult. I was fine after I hung up and quite positive, but now I am having huge doubt about whether our snow bubs will grow out. What if none survive??? Does that mean its all over for us??? Have I dragged DH on this journey, spent all this money, invested so much financially for nothing??? I am finding it quite stressful and am still about 3 weeks away from knowing. FS thinks its pretty much quality and he cant really help with that. I did look into another fertility clinic in Adelaide, but it is sooooo expensive compaired to the one we are using. We struggle to find the money for this clinic. DH was great on the phone tonight. He is getting so much better at hearing my fears than he used to be. I guess its been a learning curve for both of us. Anyway enough about me. Have a great night everyone.
Planetsasha- so sorry to hear your back to day one. I hope you are staying brave, wether you expected it or not I know it always hurts. Big hug hun.

Thanks ladies! I think there has just been so much going on with moving etc. I do however have a question... Until after the BT I'm supposed to keep taking all different meds, would that still include the pessaries? Not sure i really want to do those now AF is here (sorry if tmi).
PlanetS - I felt the same last week re the meds but did it until the BT for the heck of it - double ugh!! Guess by now you've already made a decision.
Vic - sry to hear you are all downsy :( Awful not to have any b***** control over this! Glad DH was good for you tonight - nice to have that if you cannot have a conversation and hug in person. Hang in there :hug:
Sunny - gd luck for your appointment :)
Jane - yes, bizarre that wanting AF v not ..... to be sure she shows up when you DON'T want her to! Very reliable sometimes :)
Hey everyone else :)

Hi girls, I've been sick so reading not posting, but getting better now, so should be able to catch up
Vic- what did the FS suggest that the gp take a biopsy of?? I'm confused about that. I know how you feel about egg quality, theres nothing to do. But don't jump the gun, you may get some embies growing, so just wait and see before you hit the panic button (easier said than done I know). If the worst comes to the worst would you consider donor eggs? I will be looking into this if my next stim cycle is a dud. Dont' give up yet hun, how many frosties do you have?? Sorry I've probably missed it.
planetsasha- sorry af came hun, about the pessaries, you are meant to, but hen its obvious I stop, its too much grossness on top of everything else xx
hi everyone else, sorry no persies just about to go to the dentist (would rather be on BB obviously) :D
afm- still on the pill for another 2 wks :wall: so feel like i haven't got much to contribute at the mo, have had viral conjunctivitis which was horrible, and have to be off work sick for another week cos its contagious and i work with babies. Annoying cos I am wastiong sick leave that I need for ivf!!!!
Saffy - Sorry to hear that you have not been well. Its sucks to take off work precious IVF time. I am not too sure about the biopsy. I had not heard of it and he didn't really explain it. He said we would talk in depth, when I go through another stim cycle. I have thought about egg donor, but not too sure how DH would feel about it. My sister has offered, but I think I would be too weird about that. It would be like her and my DH having a child together. She is in no way maternal, has had her children, but I still think its too weird. For me it would be much better to be anonymous. I probably wouldn't tell anyone either. Its really expensive to do, so I dont know if we could even afford it. I guess I just have to wait to see. I have 5 x day 2 frosties.

Hi Ladies
Vic - LOL to your DH and you dog. I do that to our dogs. We have a Husky and a Belgian Malinois. So a bit bigger than your one :P. I pretend I'm not fond of them but I do love them and cuddle them when DH isn't looking haha. I'm CD56 ATM. I start sniffing on Sunday and I stop BCP on the 26th March. I'm praying and hoping AF arrives on the 27th lol (wishful thinking) and not 2 weeks later like last time.
Krikkit - Woo Hoo on a TF day. Not long to go.
MyTurn - FX nasty Af stays away for a good 8-9 months.
PlanetSasha - I'm sorry AF arrived. Just gut wrenching for you.
Saffy - I hope your recovering well. How'd the dentist go?
AFM - As I mentioned CD56. I start sniffing on Sunday and then go from there. Not much else to do until AF comes.
Hi Ladies
Im guessing i will be starting sooner rather than later as I was a couple of hours late taking the ravolera and i got breakthrough bleeding so I'm pretty sure AF will be here as soon as I stop taking it on Sunday...which is fine but hubby is freaking out and the IVF loan is yet to be finalised. Fingers crossed it all works out in the end. Ive been sick too great having no voice and trying to teach high school. Well I will be back in when AF arrives to put my name on the list FINALLY lol Until then have a great weekend and for any Irish St Patricks day too.
Bee

Hi everyone else.
AFM - I got my BT results this morning. I was hoping for baseline E2 but apparently its quite high and looks like I am about to ovulate :o I have been telling the FS that I dont ovualte and need to start my progynova, and yet the BT seems to imply that I am about to ovulate. I have not ovulated on my own since September i think. So now the waiting game begings. I think now they are going to wait until my next AF to line up for another FET. Frustration overload. Now, god knows, how many weeks until I can start my FET. Usually my cycles are around 33 days, and I have no POAS for ovulation at home, so its going to be back to DTD and TTC the old fashion way this month. I cant see them wanting to go ahead with the FET. I now have to have another BT on Tuesday to check E2, prog & LH. My FS will check over the results and go from there. It will be nice to fall pg naturally??? I doubt that I will, as I never have before, but you never know I guess.
DH is asleep at the moment. He never sleeps in the afternoon, but is so tired from work. Its a beautiful day outside too. Never mind. Have a great weekend girls xxx
Hi everyone and welcome to all the new girls, I hope you are graduating soon.
Vic - that happens to me all the time, well twice now. We have gone to start a cycle and I have randomly been ovulating. Crazy when my cycles vary between 3 and 6 months that a by has caught ovulation twice. I hope you do get a surprise natural bfp. To answer your question from the last thread (sorry I know I'm a bit late) we are ding oi using puregon at a low dose of 50. Then if I get the one or two follicles we will do timed intercourse. If my hormones fizzle or I get an overload of follicles or both like last time then we cancel and I will have to go for further testing to see what is
Going on. I'm trying to take this as a tracking cycle rather than actually trying so that if it goes nowhere I'm not too disappointed. Fingers crossed your naturally made eggy is of great quality and provides you with a baby!

Hi girls! Happy Sunday :)
Saffy and Vic - I hope both of you ladies are feeling better. Vic I think I need to read up on all the acronyms, I am only half understanding your post... but I really truly hope that your snow babies work for you honey!
AFM - my FS appointment is this Thursday. - the 22nd? Im going between super excited and really nervous. I have no idea what will happen, I hope that we get some tests done or come out of it with some sort of plan for attack.
Also, I *think* now that I am in the TWW... does that mean that I post in the other thread? :confused: Thank you all for taking that time with a confused little newbie like me! LOL.
Goodluck everyone, and have a great week!
xx Sunny.
Sunny yay for TWW you can post here and there as well! Special and it gives you more to do whilst TWWing.
I am reading and stalking but nothing interesting to add.
Hope our BT girl gets some awesome news tomorrow!!!
hey all.... 3 days till BT For me!!! oh crap im getting the gitters... so scared xxxxx
GL ladies, I'm crossing everything for you :crossfingers:
Sorry you have been sick, Saffy. Sounded awful. Hope you continue to get better :)
Vic - How goes the sorting with the FS/biopsy things? GL for BT Tuesday - aaaargh re bodies that won't play the game right. Hope you and your DH have a more relaxing week and at least managed to share a little of the lovely sunshine.
Porsche - happy sniffing and GL for AF arriving on time :)
Bee - FX for your paperwork coming through. More stress so not what you need at the moment, huh.
AFM - nothing to say. On the pill for another week and a half - of everything, hate that most - how weird is that! Makes me the most irritable and always put on a bit of weight although it goes again when I stop. UGH UGH DOUBLE UGH! Ends to a mean though, as with all of this.
Hey everyone else :)
Hi Ladies
Still feeling under the weather with my virus that wont budge :( my immune system is heavily suppressed with medication for rheumatoid arthritis...so frustrating and because im almost Day 1 I dont know if i should take some antibiotics to get it moving faster. In regards to our loan im hoping i know by the end of this week so I would only be day 5...i dont need to go to my clinic until day 10 so FX i dont have to pay until then and I have the meds I need until then anyway. If the loan is unsuccesful however its a different story. I hope those having BT this week get the BFPs they have been praying for. I'll be back soon xx Have a great week!
