Long Term Assisted Conception - May 2008

[Megan]

Thank you so much girls. I'm still in shock and I'm going to be a nervous wreck for a while I think. We have never been pg naturally, so it's definitely taking time to sink in.
Not sure about extra fertile holy water, unless that's what you would like to call the really awful tasting herbs!! I so wish there was that magic cure...No one should have to go through all heartache of AC.

[melbel]

if you don't mind me asking Megan who is the naturopath you were seeing?
Might have to check them out!

[Hollybolly]

Oh My God where have I been?????!!!!

Oh Megan.... YAY!!!!! Congratulations hun xxxx

I've decided I'm coming to wherever the damn spring is for that water as well.... its obviously not bottled and sent anywhere near where I buy my water

So DH & I were getting ready to start.. and we got a call yesterday from our real estate agent to tell us that the owners of our house are moving back from Sweden and want their house back

Seriously... our IVF timing is so so bad!!!!

So now we are putting it off another month or two (hopefully just the month, singular ) - in order to pack, house hunt and move aaauuuggghh!!!

There's no way I'm doing the moving in amongst a cycle - waste of a cycle I say - so now we just deal with this hurdle

My cousin & I had a coffee on Tues this week and we were both saying that seriously, the universe could not throw anything else in my way to hold this damn cycle up.... seems I spoke too loudly

Have a few appointments over the next few days at houses.. so here's hoping we find one quickly and get it over & done with!!!

Hoping everyone is well

Huge to Mel & BG we need to empty this thread out big time!

Love Shan

Congrats Megan and Odette too. That is such fantastic news.

Hi ladies

Wow -what fantastic news for Megan - a huge congratulations

And Odette and Ellie as well... even better. Let's hope the good news keeps coming our way, hey girls

And I have just finished a post in another thread telling someone about our IVF journey and poor results we had and how we are looking at AP and lots of horrible tasting chinese herbs. Megan hopefully they are the same ones you are taking and I get a BFP very soon too!

Holly - what a hassle about moving... still better to be doing now before we get any closer to Christmas. Maybe the new house will bring a new beginning in your TTC journey. Let's hope and pray

A big hi to Shannon, melbel, BW, Lenny & BG -I'm still here and haven't completely tossed in the towel! Take care all.

[Loula]

I guess there is not many of us left here that want to chat?

[melbel]

I'm still here...just been feeling a bit lonely tis all...bit hard to have a conversation with yourself LOL!!......we're nearly empty in here now!!

[butterfly_warrior]

I'm still reading... and ready to cheer like mad from the sidelines - I just feel a bit like an intruder now.

Lou, did I mention how fantastic it is to see you back?

BW

[briggsy's girl]

ditto what BW said! great to see you back Lou

to be honest, it's felt a bit like a ghost town in here of late, so i was kinda just updating my journal - but i'll be here to support you girls for as long as you needs my support!

[Loula]

oooohhhhh thanks ladies

been felling a bit up and down again lately

xx

[Megan]

Hey Lou, I'm still around too. Always checking in on everyone in here.
Hope you're ok. We need a proper catch up I think

[Chez67]

Hi ladies

Just saw BG's great news in her journal. Makes me sad and hopeful at the same time...

Hi Loula - I know exactly what you mean about the ups and downs.

Hi Megan - hope you're doing well.

Well, we finally told my in-laws this week about our TTC journey, all three years of it. They only got the abbreviated story from DF but looking them in the eye, especially his Mum, was the hardest thing I have had to do. I feel like I have let them down by not giving them a grandchild to carry on the family name (DF is the only son). I know it broke their heart too as they were both upset. I am just so tired of all this TTC and second guessing myself about what I could have done differently or better and would that have changed anything? I am also considering doing a 4th IVF cycle, although I am pretty sure that DF is not supportive, and if we were I don't know where we would do it anyway clinic-wise.

Anyway, I am rambling. For the few ladies left here, I hope your week is going well and that you're having more ups than downs!

Take care all

Cheryl. It is a hard thing to tell others the news we know they don't want to hear let alone us wishing it weren't true too. There may be some good news about a new clinic starting up in Canberra soon through Nicci. Lets chat.

Wishing everyone well. I don't really post much in here as I have tended to stick to my journal but I follow all your journeys with much hope in my heart for you all.

[Where there's hope]

Hello. I have not posted on this forum before but some of you may know me from the TTC after MC thread.

Desperate for some opinions to help me relax:

I am on my first down reg lucrin IVF cycle and on Day 5 FSH (Puregon 200 units). My period (which came quite late after taking the Provera) finished on Saturday (CD-7 - FSH Day 2). I have been very lightly spotting and cramping yesterday and today. Have done a BT this morning but am really worried my estrogen must be low and I am not responding well and may even get cancelled. I rang the clinic but they were unfortunately a bit evasive and just told me to wait for my results.

Can anyone out there tell me if it is normal to spot around Day 5 FSH? I would be so grateful to hear from anyone to get me through the next few hours before I get my BT results.

Thanks
WTH

Hi Where there's hope,
Sorry to hear you are having a stressful time of it. I just wanted to let you know that I too had some light spotting around day 5 of FSH, about day 7 of my cycle, on and off for 2 - 3 days. It was very light though. I am day 12 now, no more spoting and all else seems to be fine. I know it is hard not to stress, hope your BT shows all is going great. Good luck with your cycle this month, see you over in the LTTTC September thread.
Hugs

[Where there's hope]

Baby Dreamtime - oops. I just realised I posted in an old thread!

Unfortunately my Day 5 BT result was terrible. E2 at 126. FS is increasing Puregon from 200 to 300 units but I fear it is too late. Quite upset about it all...
