AFM- I had a rough day yesterday, with clomid side effects (hot flushes and dizziness), I was at work too so was glad to get home. Feel better today and have had my last tablet for the month so looking forward to doing some OPKs soon and getting on with
How am I going to do IVF if I can't even cope with the clomid side effects?
Hopefully we are on a roll with the BFPs and none of us will be here in a months time

[murraycod]

CONGRATULATIONS MILLY!!!!!

Saffy, I suffered dizziness the 5 days I took clomid last month, hoping it only lasts for the 5 days you take it too X

Wow there are soooo many girls here with positive vibes this month!! I am praying for all of you

I had the flu inj on Friday, has the H1N1 in it this year, I felt comfortable getting it since I am not having any treatment this month. Arm is a little sore though!

Sorry been MIA for a few days, I have been called in for work on my days off, which has put me working 6 in a row, and I'm stuffed.

Got home thisafternoon and DH had a suprise for me.....he got two of the cutest kittens I have ever seen!! The boy is light ginger, and the sister is white, with the slightest ginger tinge!!
Oh they are soooo cute! I haven't had a cat since I lived with my mother........15years....OMG!!!!
DH usually hates cats, dunno why on earth he got them, never even spoke of the idea, and he has babied them all evening...im shocked!
Actually, so is my minature foxie, she wants to eat them.....

Ferrals, I have everything crossed for you babe, you deserve this so much.
My GF that had her Donor IVF transfer the other week got some sad news, didn't work again.
I have been out having chocolate cake with her thisavo after work. I really wanted her to be PG before me, dunno why, I would just feel more comfortable. I know she is strong, and will get there one day, but I just know I'm that little bit stronger if she can get hers first.
I will be so nervouse to tell her, if my cycle is a success next month since hers again was not.

Had my FS appt on Friday, wow you should see the druggs I have to take this time...WOW, I think I am going to combust.
Along with all of the injections I have to take for the stim, I will be on...
Baby Asprin
Vit B complex
Tripple dose folate
Prednisolone
Dexamethasone (antibiotic)
All to assist with implantation, and incase my biopsy shows NKcells because I wont get the results for 4 weeks, so he is treating me for the worst case scenario. And wont hurt if all is clear.

All my bloods were fine, thanks to the girls who asked.

Sorry all about me post, I have some catching up to do.... sorry

Crafty, hang in there sweetheart XX

Thopes, fingers crossed X

Oh!!
TTCALC, congratulations to you to darling!!!!! Hope you can all relax, and live in a stress free environment from now on, you are such a giving lady XX And this just proves it XXXX

Another girl announced her pregnancy at work on friday evening, she is 5 weeks WTF so I am just keeping quiet for a while, am doing it a bit tough, but I am sure all of my furbabies and kittens can cheer me up over the next week.
Hope everyone had a great weekend XXX

MurryCod - don't apologise - you are always so thoughtful with your posts and get to everyone. Sorry you are finding things a bit tough atm, and I'm really sorry for your GF that she got another BFN, she must be devastated. Your little kittens sound gorgeous! I hope you get lots of furry love from them and they win your miniature foxie over. My brother and his girlfriend had a newfoundland and a tiny little black cat they got from the RSPCA that only had one eye and they were the best buddies. She used to chase him around the house and hang off his big tail or curl up under one of his ears for a nap. So cute. So you survived the biopsy OK? I'm interested to read you list of drugs 'cause I talked to my FS about doing the prednisone and the chinese doctor I'm seeing definitely thinks the antibiotics helped me last cycle (I had laryngitis and bronchitis at the start of my cycle so had two doses of antibiotics and she thinks that is what made the difference so I'm looking forward to discussing that with my FS when we speak next). Strange for your workmate to announce a pg so early - sorry you have yet another one at work to deal with. The only positive I'm thinking is that you will have all those pg hormones around you and you know that old wives tale about holding babies when you want to fall pg maybe it'll help a little bit? Sucks though. I organised a farewell for the girl who I was working with who is due on our EDD - they are moving to Qld. In a way I will miss her but it will make things a bit easier at work not having to see her and be reminded where we would have been up to if everything had worked out. Take care and enjoy your kittens.

Sorry everyone this is my second post without going back through the others. Been a really tiring week - I will catch up soon.

Crafty - you know the saying "it aint over til the fat lady sings" - still crossing my fingers for you.

Love to everyone,

Alice x

Hi everyone

Murraycod Hi so glad your ok and got all your tests out the way, seems you got every angle covered for Mays cycle so all you need now is to get on with it all ! I will be with you all the way and probs still in here waiting and waiting for a BFP too !
Sorry you had another let down at work but 5wks is a bit early for blowing your own trumpet ! as we all know shame she is so nieve !
Sorry about your GF she is so lucky to have you as a friend and I know you will both be growing big bellies together real soon choco cake and all ( my favourite )
Keep well and will be thinking of you even when your not posting !

ferrals ah its so nice to know we can both handle what is in store ( or can we ? maybe not alone ! ) I really hope we get the same outcome too but I especially hope if I get a BFN that yours does end up being a BFP because I think secretely you have cracked it with boobs that sore I def think you have done it, mine are really not doing much like the rest of me ! I do have this dreadful headache and think its hormone related and will mean AF is on the way ! My pain on the right side has eased off and ended up taking pain killers codine in the end but have been googling and think it may be my gall bladder as seems to really hit me after eating somthing fatty so I guess I need to look at my diet ! no excuse I need to sort myself out and eat less fatty stuff.
Thanks for holding my hand ! I really needed you and you were there whatever happens !

Alice hi so glad you had kids over and kept you busy I just know soon that will be your own brood you just have to beleive in yourself ! My kids would love to come see your chooks !

Matthewsmum Hi glad your ok onwards and upwards girl you can do it !
T-hopes well fingers crossed for you !
Kitfaeri Hi hope you busy bonking ! go catch that eggie!
saffy ,iona maca, Bons, Reet,TTCLC and everyone else thinking of me THANKS it means so much to me but I really think it may be over !

Will let you all know real soon which way its gonna go !

[ferrals5]

A quicky i just got home from work after a 10 hour shift.

Saffy-Mowgki and sarabi come home friday morning i cant wait.
Sorry you are having a hard time with the clomid the ivf didnt give me any side effects other the light cramping from growing all the eggs so don't worry to much about it you will be fine and i hope you don't need it.

Murrycod- will can raise our furbabies together and swap photos ect how cute and you said my DH spoils me your DH is not to bad himself.
Can't wait to see how this next cycle goes for you with all the extras everything has to be covered to maximize the chance for a BFP.

Crafty-we can do this i know it is scarey i am scared sh#tless of seeing one line but i am expecting it i just cant bring myself to think i will be lucky enough although i feel really good i just don't want to jinx myself i guess only time will tell.

Hi to everyone i am buggered so off to bed for me but i will say my boobs have not been this sore before AF i have even been getting shooting needle like pains in them i still have no PMS symptoms like i usually get and cramping has settled down to light niggles and some twinges here and there i am waiting for the usual aggitated teary feeling i usually get the week leading up to AF i am expecting it but so far nothing.
I will say this with some confidence if i am NOT pregnant i will be surprised and would like to know what the hell is wrong with my hormones to make my boobs so sore i have 5/6 days before AF should show but i will test on friday if AF does not turn up before then.

[ferrals5]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAFTY

[T-hopes]

morning all!

Happy Birthday Crafty! How are you feeling today?? Hope the pain had settled down for you xx

Just letting you know that i POAS this morning and surprise, surprise...bfn! Af due Wed/Thurs so just gunna wait it out... dunno whether im just feeling crappy after the bfn but now im started to feel the dull aches of AF

ferrals - im praying that your bfp is on its way!

[Iona Macca]

T-hopes - don't give up. When I fell pregnant in January I POAS on a Wed and AF was due on a Friday/Saturday and I got a BFN. So you may still be in for a chance but sending you heaps of hugs

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAFTY Hope you have a wonderful day and get spoilt rotten!!

Hi to everyone else - off to movie world today with DS and DF. Talk to you all later

[T-hopes]

thanks iona xx have a wonderful day at Movieworld!!! Were going next week! I love it there!!!! xx

[ferrals5]

T-Hopes-sorry it was a BFN let's just hope you are a little out with your dates and you get a BFP on wed.

Crafty-how did you go?

AFM-Well i had a dream that i was on here typing that i got a BFP i was so excited in my dream then i woke up to a temp drop this morning i did it an hour earlier than normal so i rolled back over and went to sleep then took it at the right time and it was back to what it has been for the last few days so i don't know what to think my hope has faded a little.

[T-hopes]

ferrals - what sort of drop did you have this morn?? My temp went back up again today... im so confused!

If AF arrives im gunna go and ask my gyno for Clomid! Im soooo f&%king over this sh%t!

[Alice]

Happy Birthday Crafty! Hope you have a great day, lots of cake and everyone spoils you

.

T-hopes - don't get yourself all disappointed yet lovely- probably too early to test. You can do it, come on now, your turn is coming! Keep your chin up.

Bons - hope your hubby is feeling better (or you cured him with a bit of loving).

Ferrals - sounds so positive - keeping everything crossed for you

Reet - thanks for the info on the site you linked to. I haven't had a chance to read through it all yet but am very interested to do so.

Ric? Where is Ric? We haven't had any news from you in a while. Hope you're doing OK and the new job is treating you well

Iona-Macca - hi have fun at movie world

Kit - are you hunting eggs? Hope all is well with you

MurryCod - hope you're getting some rest after all those shifts back to back. Is the flu shot affecting you at all? I was booked in to have it last week bu the chinese doc sort of talked me out of it. I still think I'll get it though.

Saffy - the Clomid sounds hard going. Like Ferrals, I had very few side effects from IVF - it wasn't physically as hard as I thought it would be although of course it is to a certain extent but I found it OK so hopefully you will too. The worst bit for me is always the things I have to take before IVF starts then it's sort of a relief to get on with it. Hugs to you

Hey Poss - hope you caught your gigantic egg Good luck for this cycle - hope your in with the other BFPers very soon. I'm sorry you've had so much pain with your ovulation - has it settled down now? I do get that myself butt I have a history of cysts and endo so usually attribute it to that. Hopefully you've just had a one off and like you say, it was just a bigun!

Mildez - what's happening with you lovely?

MatthewsMum - how are you?

Dory - how and you and bubs getting on? Having lots of love from your fur people from sounds of it. I would love to have a cat but sadly DH just won't have a bar of it. Hope all is well with you.

Mummyof4 - how are you travelling?

Porsche - are you getting ready now this month to try? Hope things have settled down.

Loops - did the tractor sell? I hope you can start IVF soon.

Sunbeam - good luck with the IUI cycles. I hope they work for you. Sorry for your BFN.

Sorry if I missed anyone - just a quick catch up 'cause I'll be away now til next week. Have visitors coming today then off on a conference til next Sun night and there won't be a computer in cooee of where I'm going so damn! I'll be busting to get back and check how many BFP announcements I've missed. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE TESTING and love to you all and see you next week. Know that I'm thinking of you.

[Matthew's Mum]

morning everyone, t-hopes-sorry about bfn.maybe too early???murraycod-lots of meds,good that your fs is covering all bases though,enjoy your kitten cuddles...craftymummy-thanks-it is hard,but we all know we just have to keep going...ferrals-i don't know anything about temp charting but all your other symptoms still sounding good...alice-you'll be missed,it will probably be may when you get back ,got those meds ready...afm-wish things were so different,don't get me wrong.i do appreciate what i have got ,just miss what i haven't got

[ferrals5]

T-Hopes-yesterday it was 36.9 then this morning it was 36.3 but that was not the normal time i take it so i went back to sleep and took it at the normal time and it was 36.83.
I am so over this sh#t also i don't know why i do it to myself every month.

[KitFaerie]

I have a kitten on my lap kneading my leg (good thing his claws got clipped last night!) and I'm being very naughty cos I'm meant to be using this time to do some more work on my statistics report, DH has gone grocery shopping. Bad Kitfaerie!

Oh well, lol.

MatthewsMum: You can be grateful and sad at the same time, I'm grateful that I even have the opportunity to TTC, but I'm still sad we lost Splat.

Alice: Gone a whole week? Oh no what will we do! You will be missed, when you get back it'll be May! Have fun at the conference and with your visitors

T-hopes: Sounds like your not out yet hon Ignore the bfn, just wait and see what happens xo

Ferrals: Oh my goodness it's getting down to the wire now! C'mon BFP!!!

Crafty: Happy Birthday! I hope you get the best birthday present ever very very soon! Have a wonderful day my dear! xoxo

MurrayCod: Awwwwwww, kittens!!! Lucky girl They are the sweetest things, enjoy your new furbabies xo

Saffy: I hope your feeling better, I'm sure you'll do whatever you need to, but hopefully you'll get your BFP soon!

AFM, I am officially 4 DPO!! WOOT! It's actually more relaxing knowing how long I have to wait, rather than guessing. Guessing sucks. The bad thing is that we missed BD'ing the day before I O'd, we only got 2 days before and day of O'ing. So I wouldn't be super surprised if I was out this month. I got a stack of HPT's off ebay so I'm gonna test a lot. I walk past them and think ''I'm gonna pee on you soon!'' I never said I was normal, lol. Friend still doesn't know if she's preg or not Going with the general avoiding, I hope this feeling passes soon, cos I care about them a lot Had a big chat to DH about it again, he was really good, we talked about missing Splat and how we had no idea it would be this hard. I wouldn't change it though, we've gotten closer and I wouldn't give up those moments. He said he would (LMAO!) but that's ok. We did the whole ''where will we be in 1 yr thing" and he said he'd be coming home from work and the house will be messy and I'll be in PJ's and baby will be crying and he'll run me a bath and cook dinner, he said it proved he was ready to be a Daddy cos he didn't expect it to be a huggies commercial, lol. Anyway, must go play with numbers.

Bring on the BFP'S!!!!
