Subbing

Subbing :)

CatyO, did he say how much lower? It sucks hearing that kind of thing, but they have to make sure you're aware.

Whenever there's a 'new thread' link, it always takes me to a thread called Family Expectations from 2005. Anyone else get that? :/

Guys, please don't do a post that says 'subbing'. It just makes the thread longer and more data to load for everyone else. It's just as quick to go Thread Tools, Subscribe to Thread.

Pholi - you might need to do the whole 'clear cache' etc thing. If you keep having problems, let someone no and we can see what else you can do to fix it.

1 MP - no symptoms here, I have sore boobs, but its too early to be a pregnancy symptom, so, I just take it as the pessaries symptoms.
Pholi - I am sorry, I'm lost... much lower... what? :redface:

Oh... Sorry, CatyO, I meant Amy Jellybean... How much lower is the live birth rate after 2 embryos are transferred compared to having one transferred.

Lenny, does that apply to a phone?

Pholi - I understand now, I didn't read amys post because I was in a rush, that's why I didn't understand, lol

Pholi - no the nurse didn't say :( I spoke with my 2 best friends and hubby yesterday and my mum this morning and we have decided to definately transfer two. I know that if I transfer both and it doesn't work then I will think it wasn't meant to be buy I know if I transfer 1 and it doesnt work ill forever think what if I had transfered two.

You just use your phone pholi? Hmm, I don't know, I'll find out for you.
Give me some more info. Android, or I-thing? Safari, IE, tapatalk?

Thanks, Lenny. It's an iphone5, I use the BB app.

I checked what happens when I click your link in the first post in the new thread to the last thread 'following on from here' and I go to the same Family Expectations and Pressures Post. Weird!

Hi guys. I'm going for a lap on 5th November. They may need to remove the left tube and we'll most likely start IVF after that. I'm a bit overwhelmed but also glad to be getting things moving.

I hope the transfer went well for you, Amy.

How are you going, CatyO?

Thanks for the well wishes spoons! They ended up having to thaw all 4 of our blasties to get two to transfer. We had one good and one average one transfered. Blood test on 10 oct x

Spoons, GL with the lap! I have a list of recovery tips on my blog (link in signature), which I use to prepare for my laps. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll PM a direct link to you.

Amy, FX for your 2ww. :goodluck:

Afm, could use a quick vent, if no-one objects. Had 8 days of random spotting and bleeding (and constant pain!) before AF started and, although I normally have only a 4-5 day AF, days 5 and 6 have been the heaviest so far, including some big clots! I mean, seriously, WTF?!?!?!?!?!? AF should be finished by now and instead I have CD1-type bleeding!! It's Day 14 of bleeding (including the random stuff before AF proper) and I'm well and truly over it!!! Grrr....

Fingers and toes crossed Amy!! GL hun xx

Juniper, that bleeding sounds weird, I'd check it out hun. Maybe I'm way off, but could it possibly be a chem? Vent away hun, that's why we are here.

My cycle, on the other hand, is looking like it's coming to an end sooner than later. I'm CD22 and I've got spotting already, WTF? Little cramping too. Last time AF came on CD26, 3 days early. I'm picking up my meds tomorrow, and I almost feel like telling the nurse to re schedule the cycle as my cycles lately are a bit all over the place. I'm guessing they are getting shorter and shorter not due to my age. I suppose once I start jabbing the meds will take over. Sigh....

Caty, hope you're not losing your mind in the TWW, such a tough place to be in. Hang in there.

Spoons, sorry to hear you might lose the tube :(. GL with the lap in November.

Hello to everyone else.

Spoons, good luck with the lap.

Amy, I'll have my fingers crossed for you!

Juniper, vent away! It's bad enough we have to have Af we don't need it to last forever.

Miss B, good luck with your cycle!

Afm, I had EC yesterday they got 11 eggs (best so far for us) only 5 were mature enough but they have all fertilized. Now we have to wait & hope they make it to day 5! It would be nice to have some to freeze, but really as long as we have at least 1 for transfer I'll be happy:) transfer will be Monday by the looks of it.

Hi anyone else I might have missed:)

No chance it's a chem pg - haven't O'd since May. Ever since the first annov cycle (June) I've had this pattern of a week of spotting/bleeding before AF, but not the prolonged and heavy AF like this time. In fact, last AF barely lasted 24 hours of proper bleeding (plus a few days of spotting)... I asked my former FS about it at my post-lap appt and he only suggested doing a monitoring cycle, but then didn't want to see me until CD12 (Tuesday next week) so I'm still debating whether it's worth the hassle...

PlanetSasha, fantastic news on your little embies! Fingers and toes crossed that all 5 become beautiful blasties. GL lovely x.

Juniper, I hope you get some answers soon hun, it must be so frustrating :(

Hope the lap goes well Spoons!

I have fingers crossed for you Amy!

Good luck for your transfer PlanetSasha :)

Juniper, you must be so frustrated! I hope you can get some answers soon.

I hope everyone else is travelling along ok xoxo

Thanks everyone. And thanks for the link, juniper. :)

I have been having this sharp pinching pain and twinges in my abdomen and decided to POAS this morning and BFN :(
I will try not to run to the shop to buy more tests, lol, I will try to wait until Sunday...

I had horrific cramping and pinching about 3 days before my bfp with ds catyo so dont give up hope just yet!

We took ds to the royal show today and I probably overdid it a bit :/ ive had an awful headache all afternoon xxx

CatyO I was the same as Amy with terrible cramping, like a really bad stitch, a few days before my BFP. Fingers crossed when you test on Sunday! x

Has anyone heard of people going overseas (Bali) during a cycle? It'll be (probably cd 3-6, so in between scans, etc. My clinic thinks they'll either put me in jail or confiscate the drugs. :(

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard Pholi! I just came home from bali, I was over there from CD 4 and arrived home on CD16. I am doing a natural FET and they managed to catch ovulation in time when I returned home, so it was different to a stim cycle. As long as your doctor writes a letter stating that you need the medication for ivf purposes then there is no reason for them to take them off of you. People travel with all sorts of medication including heavy sedatives and as long as they have a doctors letter then they are fine. xxx

Pholi, see if you can get some official advice from our government (maybe start with Smart Traveller?) or maybe the Indonesian embassy? Fertility clinics are not experts in overseas travel...

Caty, hang in there hun. GL with your test on Sunday :crossfingers:

Juniper, could you please put me down as CD1 today.

Ladies, I'm doing HGH injections via a pen, 4 injections 2.5 ml each I think.....it just loads like a normal gonal pen doesn't it? I'm due to inject on Sunday but have to phone the nurse at a certain point tomorrow with questions if I have any..So far instructions read similar to the gonal pen where you dial the dosage?

Pholi I had to travel with meds before (although not to Bali) as long as you have a letter from your doctor on hand you should be fine. It is a good idea to check with smart traveller though.

Miss B do the HGH injections have a name?

Poas tonight and of course it was negative im obly 3dp6dt, what the hell was I thinking!

Thanks ladies. I called the consulate. There's a well-established protocol, although, like all Indonesian processes, it's long-winded. Letters, photos of the drugs, with and without the boxes, include the needles', and my name on the label, passport, flight details, $25, come back the next day for a letter.

I'm not going to jail after all. :)

Stupid clinic nurse.

I'm glad you've sorted that out Pholi, that nurse was sure silly. No one would be able to travel with medications if she was right!

PlanetSasha, it's called Simzen or something, but the pharmacist managed to find a much cheaper brand called SciTropin A, it was $370 for a vial that will give me 4 shots, as opposed to over $900. The syringe looks similar to the gonal one, just smaller and it's not pre filled, I have to put a little glass vial in, so I'll just follow the instructions. Thanks hun.

Amy, you are funny, although I am not surprised! lol. 3 more days and I think you'll have an indication. FX!

Caty, how are you going hun? GL if you are testing today.

Girls, just a quick question, do I inject going by the new daylight savings time? I did it at 9.30 am yesterday. If I inject at the old time it will be 10.30 the new time. Gosh I've just confused myself.. It says to inject at the same time each day.

Amy, you are funny, that's something I would do. I agree with Miss B wait for another 3 days for an indication, good luck xxx

CatyO have you tested yet? good luck hope its positive xxx

Miss B sorry I have no idea but if it was me I would keep it at the same time you did it yesterday taking into consideration the daylight
saving difference. Good Luck xxx

Pholi please you worked it out, yes stupid clinic nurse for worrying you xxx

Well I'm PUPO! Just have to wait & see how we go, but it's looking like we will have at least 3 to freeze as well.

Miss B I asked about that as I'm still taking an injection, my nurse said as it was only an hour just to do the time that was going to be able to be continued. Hope that helps!

Juniper would you mind moving me into the 2WW please:)

Thanks ladies, I ended up going in the middle, I did at 9 am old time, 10 am new time, lol. Tomorrow I will do it at 9.30, so sticking to the original time which suits me best. Good thing you asked the nurse PlanetSasha, didn't think to ask mine. I guess one hour is not that different.

Congrats on being PUPO PlanetSasha! Fingers and toes crossed now, hope you'll get your bfp and 3 frozen embies :)

Hello to everyone else and I hope you're all having a lovely weekend :). We have hard rubbish collection here next week so I'm ripping my garage apart and backyard and sorting all the junk out. I love doing that, clearing out anything makes me feel good. And 'm ruthless this year lol.
