AWOL again. DH has been unwell so I have been playing "nurse".
Jen - sending as many positive vibes to you for a BFP this month!!
Angelbabies - I really hope your scan goes well and you have awesome eggies. I am following in your footsteps - start Lucrin injections tomorrow. We are doing PGD. It is our first time doing IVF so I am very green about it all. Good luck BTW the poems you posted last week were beautiful
To sweet Ruthie, Jenushka, Tocarra, Babyfever, Tam83 - I hope the days are getting easier for you all. I have been thinking of you
Tutmae - hey, sista. Sorry about the MS. Glad your pregnancy is moving along nicely
Hi KrystieLove and Joey and AJC and PLC. Take care and take it easy
to Megsmum, Mollycat and everyone else.
Just did not want you to think I have dropped off the face of the earth
WTH - So good to see a familiar face in here...how are ya hun?
Hi Jen - you're such a sweetheart...I missed you too
Ruthie - Im so very sorry for your loss darling, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I know its very hard to deal with the thought of other women choosing to have an abortion, but you have to remember that whilst it may something that horrifies you, it is an individual choice and it is a womens right to choose that. Women fought very hard and for many years for the right to make those decisions, many years ago women were not given the right to make that choice for themselves and it led to many unwanted pregnancies and even death for the women. We can only be the judge of our own decisions.
Well, im days over af's due date!!!! Where is she???? Im going to POAS tomorrow, just for piece of mind, although im sure im not pg !!!! But....the question remains.......????
ISSY - helllloooooo I'm doing ok. In the early days of our first IVF cycle and have become and accupuncture junkee. May I be the first to wish you goodluck when you POAS!
Where There s Hope.....Hun if you have ANY questions regarding IVF ....PLEASE ask, either in here or PM me. The scariest part of IVF is the not knowing.... so please... if i can help... just let me know
PS.... watch out for the emotional rollercoaster.... take tissues everywhere... and learn how to count to 10 to control your temper
Hi WTH - Thanks for the gl wishes, I dont think its going to be positive, but stranger things have happened. Wow, your first IVF, how exciting! I wish you all the GL in the world hun, Ill be for your BFP...you deserve it!!!!
Ill keep you posted on how I go tomorrow. Looking forward to your good news which I know is waiting for you, just around the corner! Before you know it, you'll be UTD and lovin it!
Issy - Good to see you again, good luck for POAS tomorrow
WTH - Good luck with your IVF and PGD! I know how you feel about being green with all the IVF stuff, feeling a bit the same myself The ultimate horror situation for a control freak like me!! LOL
Babyfever - Good luck with all the testing. Wish I could help with some answers to your questions, but all sounds a bit too confusing to me . I guess time will tell, although I know how hard it is being patient!
Toccara and Ruthie - ladies, I hope you are both doing as well as can be expected. I know I have been quiet here lately, but I am thinking of you both.
jen - Hey there cycle buddy! Well maybe not really any more LOL I hope you are wrong about that temp dip
Tut - So sorry to hear you have been so sick sounds absolutely horrible!
to everyone else that I've missed, hope you are all well!
AFM, well I have been a bit quiet lately. As I said above, feeling a bit green with all the IVF stuff, as well as worrying about all the things that could go wrong - hyperstimulation, no eggs, no embryos, etc, etc, etc It is just so discouraging coming here and posting with bad news all the time, I just feel like that's all I ever do. I must admit I feel a bit like I am jinxing myself by talking about it too much dumb I know! But enough of all of that!
All is going to plan so far, I had a blood test the other day to check that my cycle has been downregulated by the nasal spray, which it has yay! I have been pretty lucky with the side effects I think, I haven't really had any except for feeling really tired, which I can put up with LOL So I have had my first FSH injection this morning and I keep going with them until I go back to the clinic next Fri for a scan to check how many follicles and a blood test. Hopefully we will get a good number of follicles but not too many!
megsmum..... the same offer is there for you regarding questions with IVF as i gave Where There s Hope........ What level of injections do they have you on..... Dont stress over the hyperstimulation, yes its a nasty side possibility but there are so many different things that can go right or wrong if you allow those thoughts to occupy your mind you will end up being pretty stressed about the whole thing..... As a fellow control freak, yes IVF is very difficult.... you live from one appointment to the other.... knowing whats happening this week but not next week because it always seems to depend on what the FS see s at the next appointment..... its frustrating, daunting and down right scarey sometimes BUT when it works is majic
Angel - Oh I'm so sorry I forgot to wish you good luck for your scan tomorrow - I hate how you can't see tickers when posting! Good luck! Are you doing an IVF cycle now? How does it work with the Clomid?? Hope all goes well for you
Thanks so much for the offer, I may well take you up on it. It's so good to have a couple of ladies in here that are doing IVF as well - I must admit I feel a bit funny sometimes in the LTTTC section because I already have a DD. I'm just finding that I'm worrying about every little thing, for eg. it took a while for the clinic to ring me the other day with the blood results so I was worried that it was going to be bad news Most of the other times it has been bad news the call has come later than normal. I'm really doing my best to try not to stress, but it is hard not to sometimes as I'm sure you know. I do feel like I go from appointment to appointment like you said. I also just feel like we have been trying for this second baby forever now and that nothing is going right God help me when I get pg again, I've really got no idea how I'll get through that. If only I could go back to the innocence I had when I was pg with DD.
I'm on 125 IU of Puregon, FS has started me on a conservative dose. I always had follicles on each of my Clomid cycles - a leading one and 3 or 4 others behind it, so he is sure I should get a good response to the FSH. I hope he's right! I'll just be so glad when we get to embryo transfer I'm not even really worried about the EPU, but the bad thing is that it will be at the same hospy that I had my D&C at Talk about some bad memories there.
