Catch up with your old thread found HERE

Love

Hi Everyone,

I haven't been in here much lately so I have lots to catch up on....I hope you are all well.

CONGRATULATIONS ROSE!!!!!! :cheer: :bfp:

I am soooooo happy for you and I am wishing you all the best for the next nine months. That is the best news.

We are off the the IVF clinic for our first appointment at the end of March, so I am waiting (imapatiently) for that. I am not sure whether to be excited or terrified, but I am trying to stay positive and see it as a step in the right direction. I will probably be asking you girls tonnes of questions once we know exactly what kind of treatment we will be getting......I hope that is okay. :help:

Now off to the old thread to catch up on what has been happening!

Love & Hugs

Sam xox

Hi Rose - just wanted to say a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on your BFP! It's wonderful news. :confetti:

Take care,
Marg

Jano, how are you holding up sweetie, don't worry to much about DH's issues, i know this sounds silly, but ICSI will do the trick nicely for you. My girlfriends husband had really dodgie sperm and ICSI fixed them up. There second child was actually conceived naturally.... stay calm honey, you guys will be ok....

love leis xx

Congratulations Rose - Wonderful News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to say a huge congrats Rose, that is fantastic news, and no don't feel guilty about sharing your news, it's good news like yours that keep us long termers going.

As for me, if no good news Tue, I have missed the opportunity for our FET in March, so it will be another full stim cycle in June, plenty of time to get our bodies in tip top shape (gotta look forward to things)

Take care Ann

Rose.....CONGRATULATIONS on your BFP. That is the best news i have heard in a long time. Don't ever feel guilty posting your news in here. It is hard for every single one of us going through this TTC rollercoaster, but news like yours does more for us in here than in the real world coz it is an amazing confidence booster. We know what you have been through to get here, and now we all look to you and think to ourselves that it will happen to us too, because it's happened to Rose.

I'm soooo happy for you and i wish you all the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy.

What an excellent birthday present eh? That's wonderful news Rose :cheer: Here's to a h & h pregnancy for you!! Congratulations to both you and your DH.

Thank you SO much everyone for your congratulations, I can still hardly believe they are for me. I am so glad that I can add this glimmer of hope for you all. It's been a long journey indeed for us, four years (and that doesn't count the year I spent convincing DH that children would be a grand idea, how little I knew back then about what was in store for us!!) I think I will write my story up under the Success Stories sticky once I have a little heart beat confirmed in a few weeks.

We all know that this infertility circus is one of the hardest things you can ever go through but I do firmly believe that it toughens us up, makes us strong and wonderful women that empathise more easily than others and know how to take lifes knocks on the chin. They're not qualities I really went out of my way to develop in myself, I didn't really want this crash course in strength and resolve, I had no choice in the matter but I really do think it's made me a better person nonetheless.

Thank you again for sharing your generous congratulations with me and I wish you all the very, very best and stacks and stacks of :pdust:

Rose, you are right, and I wish you all the best. It was such good timing to hear your news.

Ann - good luck for Tuesday

Leis - I have been holding up well, at least there is no more worrying about what the problem might be etc, we now know the hand we have been dealt and we just need to move forward the best way we can. I was reading the ICSI is now the most common technique that they use which is reasuring.

We have had a stressful weekend, mother in law problems, just when I wanted a quiet weekend to have a quiet knit and think about things, never mind. Next weekend is the big wedding, I told Mum we couldn't stay because we were ovulating, and she roared laughing, she said to me, "there's an image I didn't need" LOL so she understands. If we had have stayed there would have been a fight for the fold out couch as all my siblings and their kids are going to be home being a total of 16 of us for 3 bedrooms....that doesn't equal privacy, some are even taking their own tent! DH and I will be swanning about at a motel. \:D/ while they camp, as long as we dont have any little people stowing away to get to the motel with us as DH is popular with my 8 year old nieces (3 of them)

:confetti: Woo Hoo Rose:confetti:

Congrats on your :bfp: hunny. Wonderful news!

Jano glad you are staying at a motel. Gosh imagine having to have a sneaky BD whilst you were at your rels house on the fold out... no thanks...it just wouldn't happen, and baby making BDing is sometimes difficult enough for us LTTC...

Well not long now ladies and my op will be on thursday... you know this time around I am really freaking out, so much so I can't eat, sleep and my hair is falling out like nothing else. Last time i wasn't worried at all, which is strange as they didn't know what they were going to find, and this time they know exactly what is in there and exactly what they have to do. :rolleyes: Oh i don't know... i think with all the added stress of Dads illness and DH found out yesterday he didn't get the job up here, so he is still in for the Sydney commute. I was so angry as he didn't even get an interview..... I cried so much yesterday it was pathetic, actually come to think of it, I can't remember if I have every felt so down in all my life, I am really to the point now where I don't give a sh*t as nothing has gone right for us in the last 2 years, we are now contemplating a move back towards Sydney, where we will be closer to the IVF clinic and decent work for me, I am sick of working in country hospitals, and at least DH will be home more often and with dads illness i need to be able to jump on a plane when need be....

Sorry for the big bad boar, but I should of really posted this in the vent forum, but i didn't think i was going to vent until i was half way through this post.....

Love to you all

Hello ladies, just trying to catch up on weekend gossip -its actually been a it quite in here!
Rose -how is the preggie lady feeling -still on high I guess?
Jane -gooduck next weekend on catching in the egg and remember even if the motel doesn't do the trick, then you have the ICSI all teed up. Success in only just around the corner i'm sure
Hope everyone else is well .
As for me, just got home from weekend in Yarra Valley from grape grazing. I was designated driver so no wine for me. Not that I felt like drinking anyway. Was supposed to be 14 weeks pg this weekend and still feel guilty about the thought of alcohol (silly I know!) Saturday was a nice relaxed day but I was not good company at all today -AF appears to have arrived sooner than expected. VERY painful and clotty (sorry TMI) -actually resembles my m/c more than normal AF so probably clearing out remaining "product" and hopefully HCG dropping to 0. I know its all a "good" thing. Even getting a natural AF for me is a bit of miracle, however, has brought back reminders of m/c and I am highly emotional -crying at drop of hat for no good reason -darn bodies we have no control over!!
Also, now that AF has arrived today, not sure how I stand with the OI. Was supposed to be having repeat HCG/prog and appt with IVF nurse on Thurs but probably should be starting injections sooner. Have not used puregon before. Does anyone know what day of the cycle you are meant to start ?. Thought it was cd2-3 but not sure. Praying that we can still go ahead with this cycle -I am sooo desperate to TTC again.
Our house is very quiet tonight -all the furry babies are still with "baby sitters" -will pick them all up tomorrow and have some company again.

Hi all,
Meredith: After my mc's ( one of those I had to have 2 D&C's due to retained placenta) I has told to ring the clinic day one or 2. I pretty sure that AF shows a -5hcg. I'd ring and maybe they can fax a BT to be done tomorrow so your cycle won't be cancelled.
Leis: You sound exhausted, hope as the day comes closer you start to feel better, not much chance really. Shame about DH job, it sounds like it might of made life a little easier.
Jane: Whoohoo I had to laugh about the littleys in tow. My DH has a way with his nieces and nephews, we always seem to take home more things than we go with..lol. I agree that motel sounds so more relaxing than the fold out, nothing worse than stage fright at o time tmi sorry
Cherie: Hows things going for you?
Hope you all have had a great relaxing weekend..something about being a SAHM you don't get the sads on Sunday.
Bec

Hi all,

Firstly please let me apologize for my MIA for the past few weeks. I have been a little stressed and under a heck of a lot of pressure with DH's work and finally starting to build our house, settling DS into kinder and finding me time.

Anyway, How is everyone? I trust that you are all doing well and that there will be a truck load of BFP in the next few days/weeks.

ME: well I have finally commenced the Nasal spray (syneral) this morning and yes the memory of it from last time remains, tastes disgusting. Continuing on the pilll until the 24th and bt is booked for the 3/3.

I however have a question for you. During the day, Yesterday i went to the toilet and (sorry if tmi) had some spotting, a little like the end/begining of AF. Then when i wiped there was a little more. I put a panty liner on and over night nothing but this morning I still have a little only when I wipe??????? I am currently at CD 19?????

Has anyone experienced this before. I am getting mixed feelings. Could it be an implant bleed as DH and I had relations 2 days before, but then again i am currently on the pill, or could it just be a break thru bleed, which i have never had before?????


Sorry for the long winded sarga. Hope that someone can help.

Well again i hope andtrust that you are all well. have a great day. And i look forward to chattting with you soon.

Hi Girls....hope you're all fit and as well as can be expected...

Leis - Sorry to hear you are so down...that sounded just like me a few weeks ago. Just think...once you've hit rock bottom..the only way is up. Take care af yourself and big hugs to you.

Well my FANTASTIC news is that for the first time since 27th December 2005 i have had NO BLEEDING for over 24hrs. I'm sooooo happy it's not funny, although it may be speaking too soon as i'm on Primolute which i stop taking on Wednesday, which will hopefully bring on a period (if there's anything left in there LOL) which will mean that we know where we are in my cycle and can start clomid again.

FINALLY things are starting to look up.

Love you all.......

Yah Shan
Sounds like you might get a fews days respite before another small interuption. But it looks promising anyway.
SC: I read your thread somewhere else about the spotting, I use to have it early due to hormone and excess blood to the cervix esp if bd. My gyn said as long as it was oldish not to worry, I use to freak that they missed O.
Have a great day everyone
Bec

Bec thanks heaps your input has been great. Hope all is well with you.

have a great day.

Hi Ladies,

Just a quick update, I have every symptom you can imagine (some I have never expereinced before!!!) & I am getting faint bfp when I test. Not good enough for me yet. Until that line is thick and strong I will wait (hey, I've waited this long, I can wait a bit longer!!!). Dh is getting very excited and he is quite sceptial about faint lines as there have been a few over the years but he's liking what he is seeing. I really hope this is it, I don't want to disppointment my sweet man again. It's strange because we have just talked about how we are not ready for ivf and started to plan a big trip around europe next year!!!! It's funny how things work out sometimes.

So everyone, keep your fingers crossed for me.

xox

lil_chookie - sounds very promising, gosh I hope that line gets stronger

Leis - :flower: I hope you are feeling better, it's hard waiting to go in for a big lap, but it will be a good job over and done with. Just make sure you take it easy. It doesn't help when everything else seems to be going wrong and the stress just compounds.

Mrs Mac - well done, you wont know yourself now the bleeding has stopped, I hope you enjoy your couple of days peace, hopefully AF will be kind to you.

Special child - glad to see you back on board, sounds more like breakthrough bleeding moreso than implantation bleed, I'd certainly ask though if it gets heavier

Bec - must admit it was the stagefright and the thought of Mum's paper thin walls that were the deciding factor, the littleys will have to get over it this time.

Well I have had the worst Monday - itis. I really think that this week is going to drag on. I am hanging out for my apppointment next week. To think I have been booked in since the start of Dec, this last week though is the worst. Its like the TWW! :rolleyes:

I hope everyone is going well

Lil Chookie,
OMGoodness A BFP...get darker and stronger!! lol I can see a few HPT's being purchased in the next few days \:D/
Jane: lol waiting we spend our lives waiting....hope this week flys
Bec

Evening Ladies,
Hope everyone is well
Nola -Sorry you have been under a lot of stress lately. Hopefully it all eases for you soon. I'd have to agree with the other ladies that sounds like breakthrough or cervical bleeding. If you only DTD 2 days prior to bleeding then not so likely to be implantation. Hope it stops soon or else you should contact the clinic
Lil-choockie- Crossing everything for you!!
Shan - Thats great that the bleeding has finally stopped (well at least until AF). Praying the clomid does the trick for you.Rather sick of it all myself. After 3 D&C's in the space of 5 weeks I don't know where it is all coming from at present -much heavier than normal AF!
jane - Agggh -the waiting, waiting, waiting -we should all be awarded a medal for pateince!!
Bec - Thankyou for your thoughts. I have spoken to my clinic nurse and will see her tomorrow morning. Will have the BT's then and if Dr says all ok then will start Puregon tomorrow night. All happening bit quicker than i thought which at least makes this terrible AF pain and bleeding seem worth it. can't imagine there could be any more "product" left -my poor little angel girl -she certainly didn't seem to want to let go!

OMG lil-chookie.....how exciting for you. I'm keeping all my fingers crossed that the line gets stronger and stronger for you. You deserve it sooo much. Good luck. Are you getting a BT any time soon to confirm?

Hi to the rest of you lovely girls...hope you're all doing splendidly.

Well I have some sad news, unfortunately I had a M/C on Sunday, the IVF nurse called on Monday morning, just to see how things were going and DH told her about the bleeding, the nurse asked me to do another HPT that morning as the urine will still have the hormones in it, yes a very faint second line, so yes we were pg (I knew it).

Apparently thats why the BT came back a neg!

Anyway I am not as upset as I thought I would be, sad yes, but it has made us more determined, 4 yrs and 2 months of TTC, and still going.

Ann

I hope everyone else is having a great day

Ann, i am so sorry to hear this sad news. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and pray that your next cycle will bring you your long awaited dream.

Good morning to everyone else.

as for me the bleeding is only ever so slight and really only when I go to the loo. So will just hang out until tomorrow to see what the go is. Thank you to everyone who has given me some advice i truly appreciate it all.

have a wonderful day. xx

Ann

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope the future holds much happiness.You obviously have great personal strength to have gone through so much in your efforts to become pregnant. You will have the strength to continue on this journey.

Be gentle with yourselves, grieve and cry as much as you need to.

Ann, sorry to hear of your news, take care of yourself & take all the time in the world if need be.

Thinking of you.

Ann I am so sorry to hear about your loss, but no doubt you can soldier on and next time bigger and better things will come your way. At least it was a pregnancy to start with so I guess it was a big step forward for you both..... :hugs:

Lil chookie... good luck sweetie and I am hoping and [-o< that your line gets darker and darker and darker.... keep us posted....

Finally ladies, thanks for all your kind words and I will jump on and post when I get home on ? Friday from sydney. Not heading down until tomorrow, but the stress is already starting to rise.... Sometimes i wish i wasn't a nurse, i think this makes it harder and you know to much.....

Love and hugs


leis xxx

Ann - so sorry to hear your news, take it easy and try take as much time as you need to come to terms with things, I know how hard it is :hug:


Hope everyone else is well

Ann, I'm so sorry sweetie. I hope you and your DH are ok.

Ann, I am so sorry to hear your sad news. What a long, hard journey you've been walking. I wish you lots of strength and perseverance .. you are an amazing woman, and you deserve a sticky BFP :hug:

Evening Ladies
Ann I am so sorry to hear your news and amazed at our brave you are sounding. You have great strength to be able to look to the future again and keep moving on.
Leis -best of luck with the surgery -I am sure it will all go well -just ask for plenty of pain relief!!

Well, after Ann's post, I feel my woes may almost seem trival but I am just so frustrated and emotionally wrecked today
Was feeling good this morning after appt at clinic -collected all my drugs, signed the paperwork, paid the fees. All was looking good to start Puregon and the OI cycle tomorrow. That was until they got my BT back. HCG still 8!! So, so close, yet still can't start anything and will have to have another BT next week. Just don't get how it can take soooo long for these hormones to clear after 3 D&Cs and enough bleeding recently to keep Libra in business!! Not that I will ever forget this m/c or the little girl whom we will never meet but i just want to move on and try and have some positivity back in life -agghhh! Sorry for the vent. i know everyone here has endured heartache and many, many difficult times and managed to still keep a smile. I hope mine will be back soon!

Meredith, I am so very sure that in no time at all your smile will return. The heartache of losing a child is never easy and or forgotten. And I am sure that until we ALL have our dreams in our arms the joy will not really begin again. iykwim.

I hope that you are feeling better and that when you have your bt next week that your levels have shot thru the roof and you go on to have a very very happy BFP in the weeks coming. Will be watching you and praying.


Good morning to everyone I hope that you all have a wonderful day.

Best of luck to all who are testing or being tested today
All the luck in the world to anyone whom may be having eggies pick up, and smiles to everyone else.

Meredith I really I hope your next BT gives you the go ahead to start your cycle and put that smile back your dial but in the meantime feel free to be as grumpy and sad and impatient and frustrated and disgruntled as you please, you SO deserve it.

I've never had a miscarriage but I understand the impatience to get started on a new IVF round, the waiting part really sucks. My login name of Patient-Rose is SO tongue in cheek it's not funny, I thought perhaps if I gave myself that name the meaning might rub off on me.... it hasn't worked. I think I should put the "im" on the front to tell the real story!

Ann, I am sorry to hear your news too. Look after yourself and all the best for your next round, here's hopeing it's THE one, the little sticker that will bring you closer to your dreams coming true. It's a bit like that song, "I get knocked down but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down." Okay, sorry, I've got it all in your heads now. ](*,)

Have a great day everyone.

Hi there all,

Hope that you are all wel and on the way to BFP in the very near future. I am just touching base to let you know that the pill finishes tomorrow. The Synarel is going well and into my fourth day. Bt booked for next friday morning so here is hoping that i have managed to down reg well and move to the next level. The Bleeding stopped, so i am now almost certain that it was a break thru bleed, which i have never had before??

So that is about it from me for the moment.

Anna I hope that you are feeling better and a BFP is just around the corner.

To everyone else hopng that your day brings you all you desire.

Hi Ladies,

Just a quick update - nothing new to report. No strong BFP, No af. Going to wait another week before going in for a bt. I have done it before at this stage & I just don't want to have to hear about falling levels ect, prefer for it just to happen, rather than have it confirmed, iykwim.

Trying to be positive, dh is!! I keep telling him to stop being so excited but he says he just *knows*, I am finding that a little hard to deal with at the moment.

Symptoms are still pretty good, my bb are very sore and covered with spider veins & big blue ones running from one side to another. Never seen them like this before, it's got to be a good sign doesn't it??

xox

Hi Lil Chookie.
That does sound pretty positive. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that it's a BFP! Best of luck!!! BTW - how many days are you?
Cheers,
Didge

Hi Didge,
