Hi guys,
My name's Dexter and I was a cycle buddy here in 2007/2007. Bit of background history...Four Ivf attempts, one m/c, one chemical pregnancy and eventually the birth of my twins in 2008. This site and the ladies on here were my saviour. Over those years I kept a journal which has now become a ...

Hello to all the lovely ladies - old and new!

Just a quick msg to say hi and that you are all in my thoughts often. I don't check in much anymore, the twins keep me busier than I ever anticipated!! Anyways, all is well and we still thank god for our miracles. Xmas was always a painful time for us ...

Hello lovely ladies,

Been a few drinks in between posts for me but you are all still in my thoughts every day (when I look at my babies) and constantly in my prayers. The twins are 11 weeks now and an absolute joy. Having twins has not been half as hard as I had imagined. They sleep and eat ...

Thanks for all your posts ladies,

Becky, you made me cry with your post! I am still very emotional. Hormones raging I guess! The outpouring of support from peope like you really make me proud to be a part of this world. If only we had more like you. Thanks hun and I wish you all the best on your ...

Hey Shari,

I'd be lieing if I said the C section was a walk in the park. I think everyone responds differently. I felt no pain whatsoever during the surgery and after in recovery they pumped me with pethadine which made it very hard for me to stay awake and as I was on my own immediately after the ...

Oh Jayne,

Your post made me cry. Can't believe you had to go through so much and how very scary for all of you BUT you made it and now can reap the rewards of all your hard work and enjoy your new family. So happy for you. I wish you a speedy recovery and not so many Sleepless nights ;-)

Sending ...

OK I worked out how to do it!

Thank you so much gorgeous ladies,

Dear fellow IVFers,

I am writing with such emotion as I announce the arrival of our beautiful healthy twins - AYDEN VERNON and KIANA JOAN RUZARKA at 38 weeks gestation by C section last Friday 18th July at 8.16am and 8.17am. They were 3.27 kilos and 3.3 kilos and 49cms and 50 cms. A truly ...

Sorry to read about your loss. Simply put, there are no guarantees with IVF and most of us go into our first attempt with wide eyed optimism after failing to conceive for so long naturally. Somehow IVF seems like the answer to our prayers. The reality is, it more often fails than succeeds. With all ...

Oh congratulations Angie - what a great birth story! One hour woo hoo. Where abouts in Oz are you?

Still nothing happening here and starting to worry myself reading horror stories about multipes being left in the womb beyond 37 weeks being dangerous :-/ By the time I have my C next Fri, it would ...

HI Kim,

My first FET didn't work (they put back the best top grade embryo). However my 2nd and 3rd thawed embryos resulted in my BFP with twins and one of those embryos lost 10% of it's cells when thawed. Neither were top grade but they worked. I am huge to prove it!! Sometimes the numbers and ...

HI there,

I will post more later to you but if you get a chance go thru some of my posts. I bled from week 12 to 16 with twins. Firstly unexplained then diagnosed as a hematoma in the uterus (fancy name for blood clot). Didn't affect the babies and I am due any day now. Very scary but all worked ...

AGH Angie! I feel for ya :-)

Thought I was having cramps last night but just the bubs getting annoyed with me lying on my side. Everytime I go houch DH says "What, is this it, how do you know it's not labour?" (We had a friend who thought she was just having wind and was infact 6cms dilated so now ...

HI there,

I would ask to have a repeat beta level drawn and that way you know where you stand. If levels are as they should be at least you can relax until your u/s, otherwise that waiting can feel like an eternity and put added stress on you. I'm not suggesting anything is wrong, just going by my ...
