    OMG!
    I can't believe i just did it i emailed my FS and asked for my records to be sent to me so i can make an appointment with westmead ivf and she emailed me back saying she was sorry that i havn't fallen pregnant yet and is surprised that i am not she said she will send all my test results follicle count, sperm analysis and BT's to me so i can avoid having to go through it all again with a new FS.
    Then she said i have to contact SIVF to get my cycle information and all the BT's and E2 levels while stimming sent to me so the new FS can decide what protocol to put me on.
    I guess i am hypoventilating because i feel like i have failed in getting pregnant and it is something i was hoping to avoid but i have had this little voice in the back of my head telling me to stop wasting time and get the ball rolling because i wont be pregnant by May
    Now all i have to do is ring west mead and make an appointment with one of there FS i will do that on wednesday.
    PHEWWWWW! i feel sick.

    Good on ya ferrals I feel a bit like that myself but have not the funds to go down that route. But on the bright side I feel you may have a sneaky BFP there and will not need the appointment anyway ! But at least your getting ready just incase. Was thinking earlier about my age and do you know I had only had 6 pregnancys when I was 36 same as you and now look at me 14 under my belt so your fertility may slow down a bit but its not over yet ! Remember that next time you want to beat yourself up about your age !

    Been feeling a bit funny today myself shooting pains every now and then in my boobies and still deciding if they gonna be sore or not the next few days, I know it can still go either way as I do get sore boobs now when AF is on her way but oh how nice would it be for the symptoms to mean something else for a change. Been going the loo more too had to get up twice last night ! Anyway next week monday well thats when I will test !
    Bet its a BFN anyway !

    I have decided to embrace my 45th bday and say well I have another year to get my BFP and wont give up until then !

    Thanks crafty
    I got another email from my FS saying that there is another public ivf clinic at the RPA and they are run by SIVF i looked them up the cost's are pretty good after medicare rebate we would be OOP about $1,350 and west mead we would be OOP about $1450 so about $4,000 cheaper than private clinics and $12,000 cheaper than PGD IVF and i was told the waiting list's are not to long.
    I will make an appointment for june so that gives me this month and May to try and get a natural BFP my FS said i should be pregnant by May let's see if she is right.
    We can afford the public IVF for a few cycle's hopefully i wont need many if any.
    Hope your symptoms are a baby snuggling in i am having some cramping tonight and my boobs are sooooo sore DH can't even touch them but i have had that once or twice before and AF turned up but it is not usual for me,
    Let's get our BFP together this month and break out of here.

    Hi all,
    I cant belive that we are on page 2 of this next thread already....wow and theres somuch happening.
    I am lurking way more than I post at the moment , know that I read and think of yo all heaps, Praying for stacks of BFP"S this time.
    I have decided to test Saturday, not due til Sunday but we are out for dinner Sat night so its a good excuse to test. Not that I will drink even if it is BFN cause I will be thinking it might be wrong

    Ferrals bad as pizza face is, welll it seems promising given the past...FX!!!

    Heres an image to leave you with, my chinese herbalist told me the pulse in a pregnant woman differs to that of an unpregnant woman...so all I do all day is check my pulse. Soon I will not be being treated for fertility issues but for OCD!!!

    Love and babydust to all

    Reet-vitex(chaste berry tree) is a natural herb found in health food shops and naturopaths the gyno will proberbly give you provera (i think the name is right) to bring on AF vitex helps PMS symptoms and helps make periods regular it is great for people who have irregular cycles or have pcos and if taken in the 2nd half of the cycle helps with progesterone levels i took it originally to help with pms pimples and it was great i fell pregnant the next month on it this time my naturopath told me to take it in the 2nd half of my cycle as i ovulate normally so it will help with progesterone levels which is needed for the embryo to stick.
    Hope that helps i have researched everything that can be researched on herbs i have had a lot of time on my hands since losing Abbi i am almost an expert on genetics and smith lemli opitz syndrome and anything to help conception.

    AFM-as reet said same sh#t different day waiting waiting boobs are still sore my skin still looks bloody awful have a little niggly crammping every now and then today is 5dpo so if there is an embie in there it should implant any time from today.
    10 DAYS TIL I POAS AND GET MOWGLI MY FURBABY.

    Morning Everyone,
    Dory - I dont mind the comment about the turkey baster, the thought had crossed my mind! Just wasnt sure if the swimmers quality would be affected! So glad to hear you are doing well, I dont think the anxiety is going to leave you until your baby is safely in your arms, so just know that we will all be here for you xxx
    Ferrals - Glad you have taken the steps for IVF, but i think Murphys law will step in after you have got everything organised with a BFP, thanks for the info on vitex too.Looking forward to seeing more pictures of a bigger Mowgli xxx
    TTcaLovechild - How long til you get your results? Hoping you get your sneaky BFP....
    Reet - Your puppy sounds adorable! Going to be big too, Furbaby's always make you feel better!
    Murraycod - Are you awake for the biopsy? I hope it goes well hun!
    Crafty - Look forward to your POAS on monday! All promising signs, i hope they all stick around and increase 10 fold

    AFM - Trying to keep myself busy, going to wash the car today, then maybe do the bathrooms.....ahhhh boredom.
    Big hugs to you all!
    xxx

    Craftymummy ~ GL and for the year of TTC
    Dory ~ thanks hun, still no AF yet. Hope your anxiety is completely gone.
    Porche ~ Hi
    Alice ~ thanks and love to you xo
    Mildez ~ hi hun
    Ferrals ~ FX for you and well done
    Matthewsmum ~ Thinking of you with F&TX'd
    Saffy ~ Hi, hope AF arrives for you soon
    Milly'd ~ FX for you, GL Love and
    KitF ~ GL with this cycle, Love to you 2
    Thopes ~ I watch a bit of vampire diaries but find it no where near as good as Twilight. Hope you hol come around quick.
    Murraycod ~ hoping the biopsy goes ok. Will be thinking of you
    TTCALoveChild ~ Thanks and best of luck to you
    Bons ~ Hi and hugs

    Sorry if Ive missed anyone, trying to catch up.
    But Best of luck to all! Hoping for lots of BFP's.

    AFM ~ Dont really know where Im at. AF still hasnt arrived and Ive been getting weird tummy pains. Hoping that maybe its a huge miracle and we've managed to get PG naturally. Highly doubtful though. Otherwise I guess AF is on her way and maybe its going to be a strong heavy one. I suppose if its not here by Sun/Mon I'll get a POAS. Either way I'll be happy because if AF comes as Ive said in the past i'll at least know my system is getting back to normal. Ive also had the odd feeling of nausea and have been a bit *cough/blush* constipated. Maybe you just never know.

    Love to all xo
