Ohhhh Nickster... I m sitting here with Tears. Thank You for your post. I miss you heaps but at the same time I am so happy for you and thrilled that you arent in here still. I m counting down the days with you.
Oooh, Angel, how frustrating!! I'm ripping out my hair and chewing off all my nails--including my toenails!! Not really... The other morning in chat you tried to put a link to your charts--can you e-mail them to me instead so I can check out your temps? for your BT's tomorrow--I'm hoping and your ultimate dream comes true! Love you bunches my "other half of Nuff"!! Hugs & *kiss*
nickster--OMG!!! 38 weeks?!?! I can't believe it--not only how far along you are, but the fact that you're still working! You're amazing!! Wishing you a easy, pain-free (yeah right, but we can always wish!) labor and delivery! Can't wait to read your birth announcement!
Sorry it has been awhile since my last post I have been lurking though. I Dont have the Internet at work and just finished my block of night shifts so haven't had time to post just been going to work and coming home and sleeping.
JEN Hope you got lots of done whilst I was away and those little fertilized your Now the dreaded 2WW.
Tutmae Goodluck with your inspection sounds like you have it all under control.
Mannie Have fun getting your freak on
EASHA that you get your BFP. Sending lots of anti AF vibes.

I dont know what is going on. I guess the 2 months of acupuncture has done nothing to regulate my cycle I'm guessing that it is still 37 days long. So that means I am day 32. I couldn't help it and POAS today and got another BFN. My back is sore around my kidneys which is normal around the time AF is due so I am taking that as a sign that it wasn't our month

Ok well this is the post I didnt want to make. For those of you who have read my blog you will know that I was going to the ER this afternoon because I was concerned about ectopic. I have pretty much been in bed for the last 2 days because of the pain.
It turns out that not only was it not an ectopic pregnancy, it is not a pregnancy at all. I have to say the thought of it being ectopic was more than I could deal with this afternoon..... I just had going over and over and over again in my head..... not another one... not another one.
As it turns out I am not pg I do however have the pleasure of having cysts form which are now seeping toxins into my system. To add to that I was dehydrated and had to have fluids put through me and the odd injection to curb the pain.
As for where to go from here...... well i just dont know.... I will take a few days to deal with it all and try and sort it all out in my head but right now..... from where I am now...... I think I knew this was my last attempt.
Thank You to EVERYONE for there well wishes I really did appreciate it... and if all those prays behind me still didnt work... then maybe its just not meant to.
Cant wait to log in tomorrow and hear your results
AB, KL, Jen - great chatting with you all the other night PLC bugger I missed you - next time
AFM, had a massive dip Sat morning although woke up cold that morning so I shouldn't read anything into it I suppose, sure is confusing - 1 more week before AF is due although I have done voodoo on her ass and she wont be arriving
Anyway, going to lay around like a couch potato today and wait for to arrive home
See ya !!

Jen - I'm ok. But DH is not. He had an accident (will be ok), but had to go under a general anaesthetic for the second time in two weeks. This is one of the reasons I have been so slack in posting. On top of worrying about him, I am really worried about what this will mean for our Egg p/u in less than two weeks time when he has to give sample... He is currently on the anti-inflammatory Celebrex and painkiller Panadeine Forte. He also has the option of taking a strong painkiller called Tramadol. That aside the IVF itself is going ok so far. Things got held up a bit because the Provera (pill) which they put you on for 7 days to make AF come actually made her LATE! Tonight I will take my 3rd FSH injection. I do a BT on Tues and if the numbers are doing what they are supposed to do my first US on Fri...
Angelbabies - I wish you all the best for your blood test tomorrow
MegsMum - I have been thinking of you. Hope everything is ok, hon
BB - to say I am praying, wishing and hoping for you is an understatement. Big big big hugs, my friend
Nickster - so fantastic to hear from you - and so excited for you that you will be meeting your bubba soon - whether it be "joy" or boy
Jen - *mwah* (at the moment, don't think of BB, just of BD!!!)
WTH - so so sorry to hear about your DH. I really hope things go your way over the next weeks
Easha - yep next time hun, would love to chat with you, big hugs - & hope the voodoo works
Milla - hun, hope you receive all the answers and comfort you seek here, sweet
Hello and hugs to Krystie, jenushka, AJC, Mannie, Mollycat, Megsmum, Rachel B, Toccara, Ruthie, Tam, Joey, smilanatu (lunar age buddy), and the other lovelies that I am absolutely positive I have forgotten to name.
Jen: What a lovely temp spike on Sat. YAY!! for ya darlin!! (I've turned into a terrible chart stalker, sheesh)
Angel: Crossing everything I can for you, hon! Signs all look so good. How long will it take to get the bt results?
WTH: everything goes perfectly, hon. My knowledge of IVF is very limited, but I'm so happy it's all going to plan so far. I hope DH is ok!!
mumstheword: Welcome! Sorry that you had to join us (if you know what I mean), but you'll find everyone here so helpful and supportive and lovely!! I hope your stay with us is a short one!! To answer your questions (or some of them at least), I'd start taking the conception tablets now (do you mean like Elevit?). The more prepared your body is the better!! And Fridays are just a great day!! The start of the weekend!
Easha: I'll voodoo away AF too, if you like! that was an implantation dip!
AFM: Have a rent inspection on Wednesday, and after the horror of the last one DH and I are taking no chances. Luckily I've also been attacked by the cleaning fairy so it's not too bad. My house is now reflective!! Aside from that it's same ol same ol. DH doesn't have any gigs coming up for a while with his other band and our band is taking a break until Button arrives, so we may actually get to spend some quality time together soon. YAY!!
Jen- thank you so much for helping me out with my signature
Ladies, is anyone of you doing a TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) treatment right now? I wanted to bring the subject up to see if we can exchange our experiences with TCM.
I am seeing a wonderful doctor of TCM in London, and I feel that the treatment makes a huge difference. My BBT charts have improved tremendously (I used to have very erratic temperatures in the first half, and my temperatures took 3 days to go up after O and often crashed). Now my charts look like they come right out of a textbook on biology. It's totally amazing...
I started to see her after my first m/c in May. She checked my pulse, looked at my tongue and asked all kinds of questions about my lifestyle, my health etc. Then she gave me herbs to boil and drink twice a day, as well as acupuncture. The herbs tasted horrible but they were very efficient, because I got a that very first cycle, only 6 weeks after my first m/c. Unfortunately I m/c again, but there is no doubt in my mind that her treatment makes a real difference and enhances my chances. I continue the treatment with her (she adapts it every 2 weeks, according to my recent symptoms and my BBT chart); going to see her is also very comforting and relaxing (I love the acupuncture), because she is not alarming like some of the Western doctors I've seen. Most of her patients are older than 37, and I think her oldest patient was 47, which makes me feel like a young chick
I've also read an excellent book on the subject by a woman called Randine Lewis ("The Fertility Cure"). She explains how TCM works, and there is a dedicated chapter on recurrent miscarriages. It has become my bible - everytime I feel down or desperate, I grab the book and I read the uplifting success stories. Feels so good
!
What TCM does for me is that it gives me a sense of control, the idea that I can positively influence my chances of becoming (and staying) pregnant by drinking this awful tea, doing acupuncture and revising my diet (I've given up alcohol and coffee ...which was not easy. I used to drink wine for dinner everyday..I LOVE a good bottle of wine).
I'm sorry, this was a really long post! I'd love to hear from you all
big hugs to you Angel, try and stay positive, some things happen for a reason, you just got to believe that it will happen for you, stay strong lovely lady, there's a bub out there with your name on it!!!
Milla - I too got a chinese herbalist and acupuncturist, I believe it truly does work, I started in May this year and I believe I fell pregnant on my second attempt because of it, even though I did m/c but so many women here in Cairns have gone to these ladies and fallen pregnant its amazing...I def am a strong advocate of natural medicine. Goodluck with ttcing....
hey girls Im off to bed now am tired its late here in Oz and need to work tommorrow, throwing lots of babydust and stickyvibes...
I'll be thinking of you Jen this week as we will both be DTD LOL....goodluck girl!! xxx
Oh, Angel.... to say "I'm sorry" would be such an understatement! I'm completely devastated for you! My heart aches for you knowing what you're going through and how you're hurting! How will they get rid of the toxins from the cysts? Do they think it's caused from the meds you had to take? You know I'm here for you whenever you need me--you even have my cell number, so feel free to call me if you need to! I wish I knew what else to say.... other than I'm glad that you didn't get too sick from all those toxins being released inside your body! Did they put you on some sort of antibiotics to help get rid of them?
I'm so very sorry that things didn't turn out as you had hoped! Wherever you decide to go from here, I'm behind you one step of the way! Don't give up.... I know you feel like you want to at the moment.... whatever is meant to happen will sort itself out.
Oh Angel Babies - I am so so sorry sweetheart.
Hannah - Damn AF nasty witch
Lydia - I hope your stay here is brief honey. No one here cares how old you are, we are all trying to achieve the same result.
Jenushka - hold on petal, your BFP will be all the sweeter!
Milla - I am a huge believer is TCM - the stats with IVF are amazing
Hi Mollycat, Smi, plc and everyone else.
AFM - tomorrow I go to OB for a check up in the morning and in the afternoon is Charles's memorial service. DP and I had a cry together last night, neither of us really know what to feel. Counselling is really helping me but I think I really need to get back to work.
I went and had a scan with FS on Saturday and we thought I was day 11 but my levels are all over the place and I go back on Thursday to check. Will keep you posted.
I have missed you guys!
