Thankyou both for your kind messages. NK testing is one of the things they will do next I guess. For now, I just need a break. But I really appreciated your messages and thoughts - and a little bit of hope.

Thanks once again,

Jaye

Hi all,

Some of you might remember me from a while back - haven't been round much lately.

My story - in a nutshell - 4 years ttc, i/f completely unexplained, noone's really found anything wrong with us. Had three IUIs - nothing - then four IVFs - out of these had 3 positives, but all lost after ...

Hi all,

A lot of you talk about getting tested for NK cells - I spoke to my Dr and she said these tests aren't available in Australia. We're going to New York in May and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if it's possible to get this test done while I'm there - if so, how would I go about it ...

Thanks everyone for putting up with my enormous post!
Traci, thanks for your thoughts. I've been through all of that too - am I really doing this to have a baby anymore, or just to win! But I'm coming more and more around to adopting if this doesn't work (went through a phase where I wasn't sure ...

Hello everyone.
Wow, it's been a really long time for me since I've been here.
Quick background (to cut a VERY long story short) 3 unsuccessful IUIs, 2 IVF (2nd with ICSI), of which the first 2 I got BFPs but lost both very early. My last try was -ve. This week we were all keyed up to have our one ...

Hey, I like this thread alot!
Thought I'd add that Courtney Cox, while I don't think she had IVF, had some condition where she could get pg easily but miscarried all the time - I read that (apparently) she had 10 or 12 miscarriages before finally giving birth to her child just recently - at 40 ...

Hi Juliette,

I've had all my treatment through Sydney IVF. I think they are on the expensive side, but I pay around $3,100 out of pockets (Medicare picks up around $2,000, so the total cost is around $5000). You then get around 80% of that out of pockets back after you reach a certain threshold ...

Hi everyone,

Yeah, it's been a while, huh? Good news for you Staci, wow, it has been so long between tmts for you!

Hmmm, as for me, I guess I am just getting on with it. I have started doing acupuncture, and taking some Chinese herbs, but even the Chinese doctor couldn't really find anything wrong ...

Well, it's negative from me. I knew. I've known for a few days so I feel OK about it now. What can you do. Starting bleeding Wed, and AF arrived today. Confirmed by test this morning.

Last time I had 2 crappy embies so bad they were talking about next time as I was having them transferred, and I ...

Yep, I knew it would be your turn - CONGRATULATIONS! and enjoy.

Tricia, I'm so sorry. It's all so unfair. Look after yourself.

Laurie, of course I can understand you're disappointed, but one is better than none. Try and focus on the positive.

Joy, I certainly don't feel sick at all, and haven't heard of this as being a side effect of progesterone, so could be ...

Sophie-Jane - good luck for today!!!!!! can't wait to hear your good news and see another smily face on our test date thread!

Hey everyone,

Every time any of you talk about the cost of IVF I feel so lucky. Here everyone only pays about $2-3,000 Australian - I guess $1,500-2,500 US - and we are paying even less right now due to some government change they introduced to try and win the election (I was conflicted coz I didn ...

Hey everyone,

well, a week to go. it is so hard maintaining enthusiasm. every morning i wake up and think, now what was it i was thinking about? oh, yeah, whether i feel pg or not! I feel guilty if i spend 5 minutes thinking about something else - which of course i do, like work or whatever!

don ...

Hi Sophie,

My clinic tells me that day of egg collection, not transfer, is day zero. Then you can have your ET on day 2, 3, 4 or 5 - so everyone's will be different number of days after EC to test, depending on what stage embies were at when they were put back. Then you have to wait 16 days after E ...
