Just a reminder to all: all LTers love seeing a fellow LTer achieve that longed-for BFP, and we all find hope in one of our own having success in this difficult journey. But please remember that there are those who cycled with you who may not have received good news at the end of their cycle. Please do not post baby/child/pg tickers or pg related signatures (eg blinking BFP icons) etc in this forum out of respect for them.
As it's easy to forget to remove your ticker, please be advised that we will remove it for you if it's posted in here. Just easier, is all.
Hi to everyone in here. I hope you all survived the hot weather!
AFM, FS just called tonight to discuss our last failed cycle, he said he is pleased to see the improvement from D3 to D5 but yet not completely happy on the embyros performance on Day 3. So he thinks he might change my stimulate plan when I am ready to do another stim cycle, given that I have been on Lucrin for the last 3 stim cycles. I am not sure what meds he is going to change but kind of glad that he picked up something that I haven't thought about and willing to tweak the plan to make it work.
Regarding next step, he said we can either do FET next since we still have 1 blasties, or we can do another stim cycle straight away, all depends on how many children we plan to have. If I plan to have more than 1, he would suggest to have stim cycle straight away, so at least we have frozen embies for No.2. Very interesting theory but does make sense and I like his confidence too...
Afterwards, DH & I had a discussion, of course we would love to have more than one child but we think it will be too greedy and too far away to even think of anything until we achieve the very first goal - to have our very first baby in our arms. So we decide to go with FET and hope this is it and worry about No.2 next year!
Hope, from sig seems you are starting in Feb too, so hopefully will be cycle buddies.
Hi to Loula, Smithy, melbel, wouldloveabubba, this thread is getting really warm and busy now and I hope 2009 will have lots of good news instore!
Cuddlepie: I love your FS - he is so postive, and I am glad he is thinking ahead and planning from looking back to see what he can do to make things better
I just started our second cycle - I am on Syneral not Lucrin,
well a bit if an uneventful day today, got up early and the time flew! Must be how it goes when you’re due back to work in 2 days!!!aaahh
CP - great that you’re FS called and has a plan to put into place! Will be interested to see what he has planned for you drug wise? still in the meantime a FET it is and i am hoping to join you and hope in Feb if af shows up!
WLAB - Congratulations on starting, boohoo to the synarel! ouchie on my nose, how do you find it?
and for me.....
Got a frozen storage fee bill from Monash today? so i called them and asked them to check if i still have any embies there as i TF them all to Melbourne in November, the lady i spoke with said no, they are still here !!!WT? i have all my paperwork from MIVF to say that they have them! I guess one more thing to add on my list of jobs from tomorrow, last day of freedom! im sure it will be an admin error and nothing to worry about
....Still have af pains everyday.... CD 19!
So tomorrow, house getting valued for refinancing, coffee with a GF, new couch getting delivered, lunch with SIL, X-rays and US on bad leg/knee! And now calling around the clinics!
ETA

And with regards to the embies! i did have a bit of a panic! DH joked that we might have a baby from different cultural background to us come out. lol IYKWIM. hope they havent got to go on another road trip
Loula : Wow you have a busy day today, I am back to work on Monday as well, the days are flying.. I dont like the Synarel at all, if I need it again, I would rather use the once a day injection, I sneezed ten minutes after, started my injections today, I still have faint bruise marks from my last injections last year, the size of a 50c piece, so I am hoping I dont bruise up this time.
Morning to everyone - I better go and pack the christmas decorations up ...
Ah, someone has been burning midnight oil...you two are so fuuny ....
i hope the embies TF is sorted out today Loula and seems you are going to have a busy busy day today! I am going to back work next Monday, so not looking forward to that. But again I start to feel the pinch in my pocket so its a good thing on the other hand...
I was curious that what FS might suggest other protocol on my stim cycle, he did mention lucirn sometimes could suppress too much hence not responding well, he might change to other drugs. So it could be just a flare cycle without down-regulation. I hope I don't have to use the sniffle stuff - Synarel, much prefer the injection. I guess I will find out the details when I am ready to start. Would be lovely to have you as Feb cycle buddy.
Good luck with the injection WLAB, no bruise please!
Mel, apart from watching Loula taking her pills and spank her, what else you are busy doing? where are you at in the cycle?

Cuddliepie ? yes starting Feb. We have our appointment January 21 with FS and then AF is due early Feb so assume we will start down regulation soon after. So could very well be cycle buddies ? that?ll will be good.
I like it when the FS is confident in his plans, it make you feel more confident too.
Was going to ask you whats the injection you take instead of synarel? Are the side effects less?
WLAB ? all the best with your cycle. Hope synarel is kind to you.
Lou - how is your day going sounds like it was going to be full on. Did you call the clinics...what did they say about your little friends in the freezer?
MMM packing up xmas decs. I love taking them out and then feel a bit sad when go away for another year. I luv a good xmas decoration and its such a long wait till they come out again...
Yes all sorted just as i thought loose ends not tied up with the paperwork! Few! Embies ready for take off lol
Just got back from a lovely lunch with my SIL (one of 5!) spent some time with her new bundle of joy which was nice although always get a tear in my eye as my last MC would be the same age!
Off to get X- ray soon!
CP ? burning the midnight oil alright! Can?t sleep at the moment, too many things going around my head! Back to work tomorrow (yes Friday!)
Maybe your FS will recommend an antagonist cycle ? they seem to be all the go at the moment and NO DOWN REG! gotta love that. I think with a Flare cycle you still have the synarel, just no pill.
It?s going to be so hard going back to work after 8 weeks off! Aaahh but at the same time I cant wait.!
Loula, glad all sorted now! I reckon the best day to go back to work is Friday, at least you have weekend to look forward to and one day per week is just kind of warm-up I need. Im back to work next Monday after 3 and half weeks break, its hard enough I can tell you...
My last 3 stim cycles were all started with Lucrin, down regulated from Day 21 and then all the way together with Puregon. So all these other options ie. Flare cycle, antagonist cycle and syneral are so new to me, so have to pardon my ignorance on these. Never been on pill before...
Hope, the injection I have been on was Lucrin and FSH is Puregon. I am not too sure about Syneral as never been on that before.
I like the idea not to down regulate, at least make the treatment plan/cycle shorter...
Oh well, we will see how we go with this Feb FET and then decide what protocol to use for stim cycle. I truely hope that I don't need it...
