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!!!
Mwa, I love you all! Thank you all for thinking of me, I needed it this weekend and I really felt cared for, so thank you
Ferrals: No harm at all in setting it up, screw the FS expectations (and your own, pfft @ ''failing"!) we all know babies make their own decisions, all we can do is set up the right conditions and you have done that so so well! Your earth baby will come when they're ready all you need to do is exactly what you've been doing - drinking your herbs and molesting DH and you'll be all good.
Crafty: I've heard so many stories lately about women who were 47/48 falling preg, it makes me smile cos I wonder if you can fit 2 more in maybe! 45 is nothing, you could be giving birth to a beautiful little bundle and trying again at 47!
Saffy: Ah the white pants trick! Ol Faithful that one, lol. I hope this is the only unusual cycle for you and your cycle gets straight back into it!
MatthewsMum: Thinking of you sweetheart, hope you've done some distraction shopping for yourself!
Alice: How did the session go? I'm studying 4th yr psychology, did a few years in sleep science but I know my passion is for counselling, so I'm gonna get me registered as a psychologist! Eventually. Essay was on ethics and it was so boring I almost fell asleep writing it.
Porsche: I really wouldn't blame you for doing the turkey baster thing, lol. I'd probably be researching the correct temperatures and buying a bar fridge for it, lol.
Dory: You'll have bad days, but I'm so proud of you for getting through it! There's definitely a limit to how long we can feel scared for, so no matter how horrible it is, it will always pass. You will have many more good days than bad my love xo Even if we have to tell you intimate details of our fantasies with Edward to make you smile - oh wait, Murraycod already does that!
Murraycod: (hehehe) That meal sounded so freaking awesome! I seriously wanted some, lol. I'm sorry you spent all day cooking, did you have fun doing it though? I like baking to relax, just having something tangible at the end of it.
T-hopes: Good luck for Saturday! xo
AFM Thanks for all the advice, it was really good, you are very wise women I even liked Crafty's advice, lol. I have decided to step back a little, I had such a brilliant morning on sunday - got some absolutely perfect EWCM that I haven't had since Splat, so thank you maca! And then hearing about my friend was just like being punched. I think about them with a baby and I feel so happy for them, and then I think about the pregnancy and hearing about symptoms and scans and I just feel ill. Soo, just gonna ride out the next couple of weeks until it's not such an immediate pain, I think I just need to get used to it. In the meantime, hoping I O'd smack bang on day 14, which would be lovely.
Hmm, just re-read my post, when I said I'm gonna step back I meant from my friend, not from BB. So expect some anguished posts, and more details about my EWCM (which is still kick ass by the way).
Happy New Thread!!!! And lets hope it takes us into a Happy New Year of all of us in labour!!! if i get it this month ... i'll be due 5th Jan! Great way to start a new year i say!! Giddy up!!!
Ami - how are things? did you get your results?
SPF SPF- wherefore art thou SPF???
mummyof4 - how are things going with you?
millyd - yeah my chinese doc told me that too - about the pulse! its called 'slippery pulse' not everyone gets it but most do! she said it feels like there is electricy in your pulse, bit of a flicker??! Im praying she finds i have one of those on Saturday!!!! and you too!! good luck for testing love!
ferrals - good for you chicky!!! but im hopeful you may be pregnant b4 May!!! xx
kit - hi Kit!! has she had a + test yet?? And great about the EWCM! At least you dont need to try my trick though it is a lot of fun
alice - how did your first session go today?? I hope you are feeling more at ease and less fragile... i found it so good to talk with mine, always felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders when i left her. was good to have a private blubber with her and then talk it all thru... fears, hopes, dreams anything goes! love to you xx
crafty - im thrilled to read of your promise to your husband!! give him a big hug from!! cause i would miss you not being around but im hoping after next week you will be joining the PAML!!! xx
saffy - thanks love! i hope the pox clear up too! have always battled with spots and im my last pregnancy, my skin was a mess!! i certainly didnt have the 'glow'!!!
dory - thanks love, yeah i still havent grown out of my zits!! but hey, i'll take a pizza face anyday if it means in UTD! Hell yeah!!!!! i hope today has been less stressful for and you have found more things to brighten you, rather than frighten you xx
AFM - all good here, just settling down with apple pie and ice-cream, with my gorgeous furbabies at me feet! Getting ready for tonights episode of Vampire Diaries!! Ooooh i love it!! Does anyone else watch it?? So ace!! Its Twlight in a TV series! Mmmmmmm mmmm!
12 sleeps till our Gold COast Family holiday!!! Ohh i need the beach! DH and i lived there for 2 yrs and i miss the ocean so much, sometimes i think i should have been a mermaid!!
Wow, I step out for a day to get some bloods sucked outta me and look what happens.................New thread and a couple pages to catch up on, we move so fast in here.
So, hands up who's going to escape from the clutches of this forum this month....any takers?????
Won't be me, I will still be stuck here, not that I don't love you all, but YKWIM xxxxx
FS said I had a surge on friday, so will be having my endometrium biopsy next monday..YAY...can't wait
Hope the doctor is strong, cuz my leggs will be like the Jaw's Of Life, you know the ones that bend open cars after they have a smash to get people out???!!!!
Matthew'sMum, thinking of you XX
Millyd, you crack me up
Saffy, my GF finds out on thursday to see if her 6th Donor IVF worked, am seriously in panic mode, I wan't her to get her BFP before me, she has had a much tougher road, and then I won't have to feel guilty then when I get mine. She would have to be the only person I won't feel weird with. But I wan't her to get hers first.
Everyone else I know, just de-bowels me when I hear....
Good on you porche XX
Dory, honey, I love that you drop in on us all of the time, I love reading your posts, you are such an inspiration to me too
Kit, it was one of the meanest curries I have cooked on record!!
I love a bit of chilly in my curry, DH doesn't like it hot, I tell him, if he want's a casserole, Ill cook him a bloody casserole!!!, but when it comes to my curry, go put the toilet paper in the fridge if you can't handle it LMAO!!!!!
Crafty, I think you don't give yourself enough credit... your mind I think is more of a mind set, you are not old.....from now on, when you have a birthday, you are a year younger XXX On a seriouse note, my darling English lassie, you are young at heart, have so much love to give, and should be very proud of who you have become. And if becomming a mother again is your birthday wish, you deserve for your wish to come true, just as any of ours are XXX
Ferrals, speaking of proud, how proud am I of you!!!! Good on you for making the step. It is a perfect idea, to have a plan B. Focus on this, and your kitten arriving soon, hey who knows what can happen in the mean time. XXXX
Love to everyone, I know I usually do a bit of a summary at the start of a thread, but I'm a bit exhausted tonight, one too many viles of blood I think.
I will catch up with everyone when I have a bit more enthuse!!
Sunbeam, hoe you are going ok X Thinking of you in your TWW X
Craftymummy- I might google Vitex, ive never heard of it.. maybe thats what the gyno will give me if AF hasnt arrived by the end of the week.. I could probly deal with headaches for a little while if it was going to bring me success! & NO NEGATIVITY! you WILL get ur BFP this time around!! Positive thinking!
Dory- Haha what a vision u have of me!! I really do think i will have to fly to him if need be.. Im sure it would be a bit embarrassing having to explain what im up to to my family, his boss and work mates but cld be defintely worth it!!! I hope it doesnt come to that tho. Our pups a bull mastiff x bull arab, and called Nala. We needed a play mate for our girl Heidi, since our little silky terrier Tillie is 13 yrs old and is too old and grumpy to do anything! They all just make me so happy!
Please try not to stress about ur pregnancy, easier said then done i know, but ur little bub needs u to be stressfree and relaxed. Everything is going to be fine. Ur mind can be such an evil thing at times, i wish i cld block mine out a lot of the time. Enjoy ur pregnancy, its such a beautiful time xxx
Porsche- So funny that ur DH knows about turkey basters and funnels!! I dont think mine knows about any of that sort of thing! I wld love for him too tho.. it wld mean that he has done some research! He does always help to prop some pillows underneathe me and put my feet up high on the wall haha.
Saffy- AF still hasnt arrived, I will defintely be hassling my gyno on friday for some meds! Every day that goes by is killing me. I had so many ppl tell me after i had the m/c that i wld be pg within 6 weeks and i really believed them! Oh well no1 ever said life wld be easy hey... thanku x
Ferrals- I agree with craftmummy, i reckon u are going to get ur sneaky BFP! They say it happens when u are least expecting it. I hope this month is ur month! Good luck x
Millyd- it did put a smile on my face thinking about u checking ur pulse all the time, but poor u! i bet ur wishing he hadnt told u that piece of info! i think i wld go crazy doing it too. TTC is going to send us all nuts i think. We will all be getting our BFP but checking in at the psych ward at the same time!
Thopes- Love ur enthusiasm!!!
AFM.. Still just waiting.. waiting.. same sh*t, different day haha. Keeping myself busy with work and our puppy, isnt toilet training a lot of hard work!! Im actually looking forward to being able to say im in the tww, as crazy as that is to say! atleast it means things are moving forward.
Hi ladies...
Its been a busy day for us all started @ 7am.
3 out of 5 kiddos went to school the other 2 had doctors appt, i had my PAT regsitering for my surgery on the 29th with blood work my poor arms hurt bring poked 3x today... DF had a doctors appt. then i totlly forgot about my Putitary appt. so im going to have to call them in morning to see when i can come in..

Murraycod.. your to sweet
About to make dinner so i cant be on here long
i want to thank you all you all been soo nice to me and i have always felt comfortable here from the first day i started here.. you all are very good people!! and i mean that!
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!

Hey Bons.. Im not really sure i got the blood work today .. Either sometime this week or b4 Surgery, I might call down and see what my results were
I actually been craving more chocholate this week then i have in a long time and been craving for Apple pancakes and i have NEVER had apple pancakes before. So i hope its a sneaky BFP
Hey Ferrals.. Best of luck and i hope and pray that you get your BFP you really deserve this
Iona.. awww im soo sorry sweetie.. hang in there BIG HUGS
Iona ~ GL, FX for you that everything works out
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.
Hi again
I just went back and read some from the previous thread and now want to thank Murraycod, Ferrals and Saffy for your comments and support and advice.
Murraycod and Ferrals ~ You lovely ladies are probably right. My previous IUI's/IVF I have had longer cycles after. Usually though AF would come normally and then the 2nd cycle would be the long one. But then I guess with the loss 2 its probably gunna take a while for AF to come. Just have to be patient I guess, although its very hard to be.
Would struggle to get through this without you all so ta, much appreciated. xoxo
And lets hope it takes us into a Happy New Year of all of us in labour!!! if i get it this month ... i'll be due 5th Jan! Great way to start a new year i say!! Giddy up!!!
and you too!! good luck for testing love!
though it is a lot of fun 
for the year of TTC
