WTH--Wishing you the best of luck with tomorrow's egg pick-up! Will say loads of extra for a successful 2nd IVF attempt! Got everything crossed for you, hon! *hugs*
Hannah--Quiet is probably a word that my mother would never, ever imagine using to describe me! I know I haven't been around much lately, and I'm sorry.... but things aren't slowing down for me anytime soon, unfortunately. Doing another book fair at the school for the next 2 weeks, on top of the daily recycle, and popcorn twice a week. Plus with DF home, my time seems to be even more scarce! Will try to do better, tho! Good luck and have fun with your BD marathon!
Mannie--Here's some to get you thru your TWW! Lot's of luck!
Tam--Woo hoo! Sorry, will also add my respectfully subdued Congrats! Wishing you a happy, healthy, sticky pregnancy!!
buliej--I don't think we've met, welcome. Thanks for the good luck wishes! *hugs*
Hey Jen. Just want to send you a nice across the Pacific and cyberspace. I have been very engrossed in this whole IVF process and really neglecting this thread !
Hi everyone,
Just quick note from me.
AF finally arrived. YAY!!!! maybe this month
I know it hasn't been long since m/c but i figure why wait. I feel fine and if it doesn't happen then i know my body aint ready yet.
Have a great weekend eveyone.
Talk soon.
Tam: Congrats on the BFP. I completely understand your anxiety so I am sending lots of positive thoughts your way. Won't overdo the congratulations but have to at least include this one
Possums: Just noticed that you also have two poodles - I have two white fluffy toy poodles - half sisters and 9 years old. Too intelligent for there own good sometimes. What sort of poodles have you got?
Megsmum: How did EPU go yesterday?
WTH: Good luck for EPU tomorrow. Fingers crossed you get lots of good quality fertilised eggs.
Mannie: Thanks so much for your best wishes. I hope your friend has more luck with IVF this time. It can be such a stressful time. Hopefully we will all get our 2009 forever babies!
Jen, Mollycat, Hannah D : thanks so much for your best wishes for my frostie transfer. It is nice to have so many wonderful ladies on my side (and I am not telling family/friends so it is nice to have you guys along for the journey).
Smilanatu, Easha - sorry that nasty witch AF showed up. Hang in there and for BFPs for you both this cycle
Blueji So sorry for your loss. Hope your stay in this thread is very short. I am also undergoing IVF and m/c with my first IVF attempt. Just had a FET today. Such a stressful process isn't it? I must say though that FET is so much easier than stimulated cycle. I have had to take no meds and had to go in for just three blood tests and the transfer today - so much easier and more relaxed
Good luck for this month to Toccara, Indy, Princess and all of the other beautiful ladies on this thread.
AFM: Well 'frostie" was put in today. Busy day with rushing to acupunturist before and after transfer but all good so far. Best news is that I had four frosties (blastocyst stage) and the first one they thawed survived the thaw - so I still have three up my sleeve. It is about 11 days till blood test - hopefully it will go quickly. Work is busy at the moment and I am off to sydney for weekend after this one so hopefully I will not have time to be too anxious. Having a relaxing weekend though - going to give frostie every possible opportunity to stick!!!!
Tam - Also sending a subdued congrats your way with lots of
WTH - that this IVF attempt is successful
Jen - Didn't mean to make you feel guilty, its just strange thats all. Its a busy time of year so I understand. As long as you make time to take care of you. :hug;
princess - Congrats on AF arriving (if that doesn't sound weird). Goodluck with your TTC journey.
babymiracles - Sending you lots of too. Have a relaxing weekend.
Tam & MissBec - quietly wishing you a happy and healthy and oh-so-sticky nine months
And a huge for Easha, sorry AF showed hun, may it be for the last time for several months to come.
AF showed for me as well on Thursday which means as of next cycle, we are officially back on the ttc wagon. I'm kind of excited but SO scared.
Huge hi to Ruthie, Jen, PLC, Hannah, Possums and all the rest of you lovely ladies. Hope you all have a great weekend.
glad to see your back Tam! and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers tommorrow while at Mass....
Babymiracles - prayers are going out your way too I'm positive this frostie will stick!! lots of positive vibes and put your feet up and relax...
that witch is a b*tch wish she would stay away!!! doesn't she realise we don't want her to visit us at least for 9 months anyway!
HI Jen wishing you lots of babydust for this cycle!!!
Ruthie I know your lurking but lots of hugs your way too and hoping Jan 09 comes round quickly!
big hugs to all the other lovelies Smi, MIssbec, Joey, Easha, MO3B, Hannah, Melissa, Dutchy, princess and welcome to Buliej hope your stay is short...whats a flare cycle?
a flare cycle is the type of cycle my ivf clinic put me on - I'm not sure what it means but I can describe the drugs I use which are n a nasal spray (syranol) that stops ovulation (until time to trigger) at the same time I'm put on gonal f to produce eggs.
wow sounds very scientific.....my friend on IVF has never had this so was curious...but you know what I wish you the best of luck with this I know it can be tough and emotional draining, my friend is going to have 2 of her frosties put in on Thurs and her ride has been a bit of a rollercoaster too....lots of babydust to you my friend and hoping 2009 is a year full of BFP's for all of us on this thread....
ok off to make some sushi now its got be ready by the time hubby gets back from the shops and can I just say its damn hot up here in the tropics today....at least I got a swim in before the pool water turns to bath water!
Thank you ladies for all your support. Well last night when I took my bra off I was hoping that my boobs would still be sore and tender but they weren't With my last two pregnancies before my m/c my boobs stopped hurting well guess what the same thing is happening. I am so scared right now DH and I are travelling back to sydney early so I can be back on monday to get the bt results off FS.
Just wondering if anybody's symptoms were strong one day but not the next and went on to have a healthy pg?
Tam - I replied to you in paml but wanted to here as well. My symptoms with this pg were all over the place, no m/s no sore boobs nothing. I can honestly say I didn't 'feel' pregnant until around 17 weeks (when I first felt little nudges from Bub). Sending you lots of positive vibes & sticky ones.
Big Hello to everyone else. Throwing around lots and lots of
Tam83 - Congrats on the BFP I hope this might reassure you a bit, but I never had sore boobs when I was pg with my DD and in my last pg which miscarried they were sore all the time right up until I had my D&C. So I really do believe that sore boobs (or lack of) is not a good indicator. Take it easy and I hope you get some good results from your FS!
buliej - Welcome and I'm so sorry you have to be here
Mannie - Hope you are doing OK now?
babymiracles - Yay for the FET!! I hope your TWW goes well with a BFP at the end of it! That's great that your first embie survived the thaw, you are so lucky having those extras up your sleeve. Hope you're having a lovely weekend. The EPU didn't go so well though but see below for more details!
princess85 - Yay for AF!!
WTH - Hey there IVF buddy! Hope things are going well for you today and you've had heaps of those eggies fertilise overnight!!
Jen - Hey there cycle buddy, any news yet?! For what its worth I peeked at your chart and I reckon you Oed late, you're in with a great chance with all that BDing! Makes me feel tired just thinking about it! LOL
HannahD - Good luck with the BDing marathon! Hope you get your BFP!
Hi to all the other lovelies out there that I have missed! Hope you are all well and heaps of
AFM - Well this cycle has been another odyssey Sorry to have been so cagey with the details, but I have been stressing about it majorly and I have also have had a bit of not wanting to jinx myself by talking about it too much going on too. We only got a low follie count again this cycle (started off with 4 and then only had 3 in the runnning at EPU) despite being on a higher FSH dose, so I have been really worried about this cycle being a bust too. As some of you know (and thanks to those who gave me their well wishes too ) I had my EPU on Thurs just gone - we decided to go ahead with it anyway - and we ended up getting only the one egg So then started a few days of even more stress while we waited again. But now here's the good news our little eggie fertilised!! And it continued to grow over the next 2 days, so this morning I had a lovely looking 8 cell Day 3 embie transferred!! Bit bummed that one was all we got of course, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth!! Considering how much worse things could have gone, I am pretty ecstatic!
Megsmum - just wanted to say sorry you didn't get more eggs at EPU, but that is fantastic that the one did fertilise. Praying for you that this one sticks. Looks like we will both find out the same week if our egg transfers were a success.
WTH: how did your EPU go? Have been thinking of you
Tam: Hope all is okay
To everyone else in this thread Here hoping for lots of BFPs very soon
WTH--Aww, thanks, I sure needed that! Would like to give you a back! I feel as though I've been a little neglectful to the thread, as well! Sometimes you just have to take care of YOU, so as long as you're doing that, then it's all good! Take care, hon... hope all went well with the egg pick-up!
princess--Woo hoo for AF! Wishing you the best of luck for this fresh, new cycle!
babymiracles--Stick little frosty, stick! Saying lots of prayers and sending massive
Hannah--I know you didn't mean to make me feel guilty.... but I do realize how much less I post than before, and I can't help but feel a little guilty! On the upside, I can't help but feel glad in some ways that at least it's noticed when I don't post as much--so thanks for noticing and making me feel missed!
smi--I'm doing the same! Just waiting... temp was on the way down this am, though... so I imagine it won't be longer than a day or two, at the most.
Melissa--Would like to officially welcome you back to the TTC bandwagon! May your journey be quick and sticky!
Hi Mannie! You're in my thoughts! *hugs*
buliej--Wishing you the best of luck with your IVF TTC journey! I'm sorry for your loss that brings you to our humble little thread. I pray you find comfort and support here amongst us! *hugs*
Tam--Many women don't have any symptoms this early on in pg'cy... I know it's hard to do, hon, but try to relax and think positive thoughts! Sending lots of POSITIVE your way--and some big *hugs* too!
Hi AJC! Thanks so much for your ever-watchful eye over us all! Lots of love and to you!
Megsmum--Congrats on your fertilized egg! Sending massive stickyvibes your way! Stick little one, stick! I'm going to say loads of prayers for you, cycle buddy!!
To my Friday night girls--plc, MO3B, fifi, & mollycat, thinking of you all! *kiss*
Krystie--You really must join us! Got a great pic of my Fab 3/4 girls--wish I could've been there! *kiss* Bellyrubs for little Chyan! Miss you lots, stranger! *whip*
