Eliselouise- congratz that is wonderful news just before xmas after all these months trying i hope you and tanya are the start of many more BFP's to come.

Thankyou to everyone for their congratulations, still cant believe it but i suppose id better start getting used to it.
Went to the docs this morning and they done a urine test and it took ages for the second line to show up and i started to get really worried that it wouldnt, but it did, just very faint.
Had a BHCG done also and should have the results back tomoro.
Thankyou SO SO SO much to all the lovely ladies in here, you have all really helped me through the roughest of times. I really hope that you can all get your BFPs soon too.
Ill still be lurking and waiting to hear all the great news when it comes along and will definately be keeping an eye on Ferals, Snuggly, coco ( & cherished if your still lurking) coz you girls have been there right from the start with me and you guys deserve to mothers more than anything in the world.
Anyway bye for now and ill keep popping in to let you know how things are going (and for you's to stop my stressing and obsessing :lol: )

Congrats Eliselouise! That is awesome news!! Great to see some good news.

Just wanted to say hi to you all and to give you all my best wishes over the festive season. Hope you all have a nice and safe time with your family and friends, and hope the new year brings with it lots and lots of bubbas.

So tell me what day are you as I am day 25 of 28 day cycle and am trying to hold out until the 19th to test as I am so scared of 1 line again !

:stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:

:happyforyou:

Snuggly I am so sorry your faint line didn't stick maybe try again just to make sure in a few days ! Thats exactly why I hate to test before day 29 I hate having a faint line then AF turns up its better if you never knew ! if you know what I mean,
Have a good trip in Japan next year babe its your turn !

will pop back later !

HI Everyone,

I havent been on for a while but a big congrats to Tanya and Eloise!!! :dance: What a wonderful Christmas present for you and your families!!

To those who were waiting for AF, yay! Glad she made her arrival. And to those who dont want the dreaded visit...... cross fingers she stays away!!

As for me (CD 26), just had a second round of clomid (100mg) but it didnt seem to help me ovulate. I was sure I did (did a few OPT and it indicated a surge) but my progesterone levels were only 4.7 nmol/L. I did notice on my results from when I first started the day 21 blood tests, that my progesterone levels have increased slightly from no clomid to 50mg clomid to 100mg clomid. But still it's obviously not enough. Does anyone know what the levels should be? I have now got a referal to another FS in Wollongong who can help me further (:crossfingers:). I know it's a long shot, but has anyone had dealings with Dr Chris James in Wollongong? I would love to hear from anyone who has! I am also going to try vitex/herbs over the holiday period and following months, hoping that may help regulate my cycles.

:happyforyou: CONGRATS ELISELOUISE and TANYA :confetti:

I thought your symptoms sounded good elise!

Congrats to ferral on your wedding :) you must be excited!

Looppylouie sorry i have no advice, but i would say try the vitex. i am still taking the supplements, although af is dragging out this month, i think i am still messed up.

ric glad your cycles have sorted themselves out :)

snugglybean oh no, :hug: i hope you are ok hun, and you come back from japan with some exciting news.

Holly Molly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG Eliselouise Congratulations to you!!!!!:confetti: You got a BFP after testing negative couple days ago that is what I call AWESOME!!!!
Please Please let us know what your levels are when you get them tomorrow!:stickyvibesgirl: You are so deserving, and I truly hope that you have a H+H pregnancy darling XXXX Going to miss you in here (in a good way), but am so glad that you are moving to the pregnancy forums, we all hope to see you there ASAP!!!!
Take great care, relax and try and enjoy the ride!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooohooo!

AFM, Nurse in Adelaide called, I started the pill today and stop on Dec 27th, hopefully have a bleed around 30thDec and start my IVF meds on 31st, talk about leaving it to the eleventh hour!!! Am excited, but as you have all seen what I went through with the "AF" problem I had, I know things can change in an instant. Let the stress begin!

morning everyone,well it was test day today,day 32,bfn,what am i doing wrong,off to see my councillor this morning,and see my fs friday,he has already told me 'no more clomid'and because it's been a year ttc he would do more tests maybe they'll be an answer in them,who knows

Matthew'sMum sorry this was not your month, I know how hard things can feel right now, never ending uphill battle XX
I hope your FS on Friday can shed some light, and work out a plan for you for the new year XXX
Starting the month over can seem a frustrating and long wait X I hope that a lovely christmas can make it go by a little quicker for you XX

Afternoon ladies

Looppylouie-Not sure i can help with the clomid and Progesterone levels but when i first started my ivf cycle my progesterone level on day 1 of my cycle was 4 and that was normal and then it went up with each blood test so if that was your level on day 21 it is definately low has your FS recomended crinone surpositories (progesterone supplmemt) for the 2nd half of your cycle just about every women is put on it after ivf as there E2 gets so high they give the crinone to balance the hormones out.

Mathewsmum-sorry it was a BFN this month i hope you can get some answers from your FS.

Hello to everyone i havn't mentioned.

AFM-Thanks for the well wishes on our upcomming wedding on saturday.
I was confident that the ivf diddnt mess up my hormones but this morning i had red spotting and have had it every time i have been to to loo i have never had mid cycle spotting it might be because we have had some rough BDing the last 2 days (sorry to much info) but now i am worried that it is going to stuff up any chances of me getting pregnant on the positive side i have a really strong positive on my opk and full ferning on my maybe baby.
anyway has anyone had spotting at ovulation time and still fallen pregnant.

Hi MurrayCod,
Thanks for asking about me. I do have a belly now. Still feeling nervous about things but just doing one day at a time. Im sure the worry never ends! I will be 18 weeks on thursday and hanging out for our scan on christmas eve. Not long to wait.
I wish you all the best for your IVF journey next year. Im glad you can go to Mildura and dont have to go to Adelaide or Melb.

Big hellos to everyone else. Im sorry to see some ladies are out for this year but its great to see the BFP's starting to roll in again. Next year will be full of BFPs for everyone!!

I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and New Year break. Stay safe!

Hi ladies!

WOW!! GREAT to come in and see BFP'S!!!! :hooray: congratulations girls, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! :D

Hi everyone, hope you are all well even if no bfp's happening :)

I am doing reeeeally great! No bfp here, Im just coming into my fertile time and not too concerned with TTC at the moment. We're relaxing as much as possible about it until we start IUI's in feb so if if happens that will be great but we're enjoying sex again like we're meant too, not scheduling it and leaving me feeling flat and stressed..

Cant remember when i temped last...was the cycle before last...I havent spent money on tests etc and Im saving that way hehe

Im feeling alot more comfortable about my friend who is pregnant, due in 7 weeks, before I took our break I was soooo bitter about anyone who fell pregnant and It was making me a miserable cranky unsociable person to be around.

Im enjoying myself, going swimming at the baths at the beach, sunbaking, running around as much as my bum knee will let me *i hurt it at work on oct7* and Im getting in to the renovating, gardening, hammock lazing...christmas!! I was really upset about not having a bfp to share with the family as a gift, but Im trying to focus on positive stuff...

It's amazing that after giving my mind and body a "proper" break, how much I am greatful for and how much I can just enjoy things I should have been enjoying before.

Im still bummed about it all but 100% more optimistic IYKWIM..

Hoping you all have a great christmas and can share some lovin without any tears.

Thinking of you, my angels, my saviours, ALWAYS!

Eliza xx

WOW I should come over here more often! Congratulationis to the lovely eliselouise :stork-girl: :stickyvibesgirl:
& Tanya :stickyvibesboy::stork-boy:

Hi ladies,

just a quick pop in - I don't get on line much, so sorry for the lack of persies, too many posts to catch up on, but very quickly...

CONGRATS ElsieLouise!! :dance: YAY!! :dance:

Hi Coco! glad things are ok with you :)

Murraycod - sounds like its all happening! :)

sorry to all the ladies that AF decided to visit :(

hello to all the other ladies here!!

AFM - super tear-jerky hormomes (AKA clomid) now finished and we're in the middle of "shag fest" so I can't type for long, as I have to get dinner ready, so when DH comes home I can jump his bones right away as he has a very early start tomorrow :lol:
