    Scan results

    Hi Ladies
    My results this morning from my follicule scan were really good, I have about 12 really good sized follies in there and will most probably have egg collection Monday or Tuesday.
    Hoping for as many as poss so that I can maybe transfer two and have a few to freeze. That would be the ideal anyway. Thanks for all your support and wishes, means a lot xoxo

    Minniemouse ~ thanks heaps. I find the needles not too bad - its all the other crap that sucks like nasal spray. The one needle only would be great though. Although hoping I dont need to go there - hoping this time is my last.
    Hope AF comes for you very soon!!

    Clairesmummy ~ LOL, I thinks its easier doing the needles myself than getting DH to do them. I think its harder to give cows and horses needles - hate doing that.
    Thanks for all the great vibes - appreciate it xoxo
    Im sorry you've had to go through all that stress lately. I have a few friends that have been on clomid and it has worked and contributed to them getting pregnant. And Im pleased for you that everything else was clear. I know how hard it is though to feel like you've already been waiting ages for a child and it is being prolonged even further - big hugs. One step at a time and good luck with the ovulating hun!

    Possum ~ thanks heaps. Hope you're well xo

    Melster ~ Hope your bod sorts its self out very soon hun. Hope you're ovulating (sounds like it) and you catch the egg, Good luck!!

    Joeve ~ Sorry for your loss Good luck

    I hope you ladies have a great weekend..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Loops...im so glad things are looking good for you and i hope you get you're bubba implanted real soon....!!!!!

    Atm.....well i have another negative digi test this arvo but there is still a line there.....wondering whether with all the alcohol i drank on the wine tour would have effected my test (as they say not to drink much liquid before taking the test...............) and maybe from not testing twice a day, hopefully i have just missed seeing it on the opk and i have still o'd...im praying anyways..........or maybe im not o'ing and maybe thats why i am not falling pregnant and last cycle the opks were showing positive for most of the time.......i just wish i new either way...

    A couple days ago i did have period type pain, and i have had a little cm with some watery stuff.....and my cervix is a little high now.......so i am just praying that it is...see what everything is like tomorrow...come on o!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Im getting real stressed with this bdancing thing and o'ing thing....i never thought or new it could be this hard.....

    Clairesmummy- yay for some good results, and I know of a couple of girls who had great results with clomid.
    Melster - trust your body and keep up the bding, I would ditch the opk's if they are not working as sometimes they are more stressful than they are worth.
    Loops - yay for the follies, good luck for collection day!
    Hello everyone else!

    Thanks Joeve and minniemouse - yep we may have two transferred this time if they make it to the right quality - play it by ear a little bit. We didnt get enough to do two last time as only one made it to the right quality. Although this cycle is a bit different - its an antagonist cycle - to try and get better quality embryos so FX'd they are xoxo

    Loops- Not sure you will convince me about giving needles to myself.....lol....hopefully I will never have to find out........lol.....I am a huge sook when it comes to that type of stuff and alot of other things as well........Thank you so much for the hugs darl I really appreciate them and woohoo for the great scan results darl, I have no idea what so ever about IVF darl but you made it sound good so I will give you a big WOO HOO. Good luck with the egg collection darl I watched a bit on the health channel one day about collection of eggs and wow it opened my eyes up to what happens. I so hope you get your BFP darl I realy really do I have absolutely everything possible crossed for you. And I find reading your posts very inspiring and you are obviously an amazing woman and have true strength to go through all this darl. I wish you every ounce of luck in the world and can't wait to read your BFP announcement.
    Iona- Thanks darl they were good results I was really expecting bad news big time and I'm praying AF arrives a little early this time so I can get into the Gyno and get things moving asap. How are you and bub going darl?
    Joeve- How are you travelling ? Hope all is going well for you darl. And thank you for the kind words I can only hope and pray that the Clomid will work. After reading all the positive stories on here about Clomid I am feeling alot better and more positive that we are NOW finally after over 2 years of TTC we may be on the right track and hopefully get our long awaited BFP one day soon. FX
    Melster- I think OPKs are just another way for us to waste our money as well darl, after all I have been getting positive OPKs and NO Ovulation...and now when I look back on all my charts and see what is going on I would say I have only O'd once since my MC and that was when I got my BFP that turned into a BFN a week later. I think you would be better off taking notice of your body and what it is telling you and maybe even asking for a BT from your DR darl. Keep up DTD darl is the best thing you can do I would say and FX you get your BFP this month.
    AFM- Hope everyone is having a great start to thier week end, it's started out very wet here but ah well good excuse to curl up and watch telly I say....lol.....I get my house back to it's quiet self tomoro.....woohoo for that only the 3 of us again and no screaming fighting back chatting boys to listen to.........Yeeeehhhhhaaaaaa......I'm feeling alot better today within myself knowing that at least I am heading towards our goal now and not living in no mans land and not knowing why I'm not getting my BFP. I have my FX tightly AF arrives on time or even earlier so I can get into see the gyno and get things moving in the right direction for us, here's hoping anyhow. Making DFs appointment this week for his SA to be done on his next Monday he has off which will be the 18th of this month. I'm hoping his swimmers are good and strong. Can anybody tell me how long it takes to get the SA results back? I would assume they would test them straight away but do they give you the results the same day or do you have to wait for the DR to give them to us????

    Clairesmummy ~ thats the nicest thing to say, thank you so much. Nearly made me teary - you are an amazing, strong person too. I go through stages with the IVF stuff though sometimes I think im strong and positive and others not so much. But I guess we do what we have to - can't give up on our ultimate dream <3
    Im your DF's swimmers are nice and strong and healthy too - good luck! I think you should get the results the following day or may take a couple but shouldnt be too long. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    Hi ladies, my d& c was two days ago now and I am not bleeding anymore.

    I was wondering how long you waited before DTD after d&c? The drs said they would have my pathology results in a week and I have an appointment next week but I have heard a lot of people try straight away and if so when would you expect to ovulate after a d&c?

    mum2Romone: i think from memory i was told to wait 1- 2 wks after d & c before BDing again (in case of infection i think). You're not likely to 'O' before then anyway i think. Did you get any written info from the hospital where you had the d & c?

    Clairesmummy: Hope you get no AF and instead BFP this week but if not, then at least you have a series of steps to follow which can bring you some answers.

    Melster: how do you know what the position of the cervix 'should' be and what it feels like when it's high or low? Hope you 'O' soon.

    Loops: ohhhh! Grow follies grow! Hope you get a great eggie harvest on Monday!

    AFM: DH and i had a tiff at just the wrong time. Think i may have missed 'O' by a day : ( Had pains and EWCM Thursday night and Friday morning. Not sure if that means I 'O' Friday morning or later on Friday? Does EWCM come before or at the same time as 'O'? DOn't think the egg would have hung around until we 'kissed and made up'!

    I was looking at the papers the hospitalgave me and there's nothing, just a g.a instruction form and a slip for a gp check up. It seems they didn't even check me out of the hospital properly as I was sent home without seeing a dr or even a midWife after the procedure, I didn't even get to ask anything because the nurses said they didn't know anything...

    I guess I'll have to go see the lady I was talking to at the Early peg assessment service and ask questions and stuff.

    Should I be taking antibiotics? They didn't give me a script for them either,

    Possum - From memory I got ewcm for a few days before o.... I think you're still in with a shot.

    Mum2Ramone: I think they give some antibiotics while you are under anaesthetic having the d & c. You don't need to automatically take more antibiotics after the procedure unless you develop signs of an infection (which might be bleeding continuing on for a long time, usually along with an unpleasant smell and feeling unwell eg temperature). Chat to your GP or gyno if you are unsure. Most people are ok i think and avoiding BD (and baths i think) for about 2wks after d & c helps prevent infection too. Hope you make a good recovery.

    Forshelby thanks! I hope i'm still in with a shot. I usually 'o' between day 12- 16 and this all happened day 13/14 so dunno! I'm hoping egg didn't pop till late on day 14 or even CD15! PS stalking you in the other thread : )

    AFM: Feeling a bit down today. Feel like i missed opportunities to get UTD this month and also feeling sad about friends who are pg and i'm not. My best friend is 4 wks ahead of where i should have been with the most recent pg. My other best friend has quietly told me she thinks she's 4wks pg. I was meant to have my 2nd child a few months after she did. Now it looks like she's onto number three and i'm still waiting for number two. I hope i don't offend those still TTC number one- I am very grateful i have one- but i feel sad that others are moving ahead with their families when i have not been able to.

    possum.....i feel my cervix everyday and low and hard normally means end of ovulation and period..then when ur going to o it rises and is hard to feel and soft.....im sorry hun...i know what ur going through....hubby missed one night due to a tiff as well and its sitting in the back of my mind...and my girlfriend has just told that she is 3mths pregnant with her third.....i know it can get u down hun....

    Atm... im not sure whats going on with me...i didnt get a positive opk test and today is barely there now but im using different ones now not digi...yet my cervix is still high and lots of cm...and still getting light period pains on and off..im hoping i o'd and didnt pick it up coz it was earlier and that im pregnant..but probably wishful thinking......i know if ur pregnant ur cervix stays high and closed...so i guess we will see.....maybe i didnt o at all....
