AGHHHH...not happy....had scan this AM...the stimming has not done anything at all...no follies and endo is 5mm!! They have upped my dosage of Puregon to 225iu (instead of 150) and will see what they say this afternoon once my bloods get back. This is going to be one long, expensive rollercoaster ride!

Sorry - not got long so a short post.
Congrats charlie + richard and Amanda! Great news!

Anna - I can't believe you've only just found out about the closure. If you had been informed earlier, you could have done something about it earlier. I read the over 40s thread (I always do :oops: ) and agree about ringing round other clinics. It certainly can't hurt.

Tracii - So sorry to hear about the lack of response. Have you had trouble with this before? upping the meds seems like the only sensible option. am keeping everyting crossed for you.

Love and hugs to everyone else. Happy Valentines Day (not that I believe in it! Sorry an a bit of a humbug when it comes to things like that - complete commercial ripoff in my opinion! :evil: :oops: :lol: ) he He!!!!

hi girls, happy valentine's day. Sorry I am a mush , I love it!! :oops:

Tracii, so sorry to see your news. I know exactly how you feel as I went through the same last year. I think the worst part is the suprise....you really can't believe what has happened :( Hang in there, upping the meds may do the trick!

Cla, thanks for your message. You are right, if I hadn't phoned to ask advice about my late AF I still wouldn't have known about the closure. I could have taken provera to bring me on and be at EC now! AARRGGHH! What will be will be. If it's one thing I 've learnt over the past year is that nothing ever goes according to plan. We just have to wait and see! I am truly hoping my patience will be rewarded one day! Good luck for your scan on Friday. Hope all goes well.

Lisa , hope all goes well today. Good luck with EC.

Heather, how was the scan? Good luck with stimming. Hope inj aren't too bad.

Just now got back from my scan - good news and bad news!!!

Bad news is that we won't be able to use the same sperm donor that we used to have the boys - he just isn't available. Feeling a bit gutted about it, as would have loved for any child to be dna related to Brennan, but it just can't be helped. Also i knew i could get pregnant by this donor - if you see what i mean, so hafta go with a completely new donor and just wait and see what happens.

Good news is that everything has shut down nicely as we hoped it would - i now start stimming tonight!!! Have to reduce my Buserelin to 200 iunits and start taking 200 iunits of Puregon too. Go back next tuesday for another scan to see how my follies are growing!!! Am a wee bit excited - can you tell???

Was given a list by clinic of things to do now - i have to drink an additional 2 - 3 litres of fluid a day, that can be in water, milk or anything isotonic, and also have to increase my salt intake, was told best way is to eat loads of crips/salty popcorn/bacon etc. Also have to get loads of protein in too - so plenty of eggs and chicken etc. These are mainly to stop me from developing OHSS - Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome - where i produce too many follicles.

Anyways - thats my news, a bit mixed, but i feel a little more relaxed about it all.

Love to all xxx

Hi girls,
Well, it's over for me... BFN. I'm in CA, so sorry for the delay in telling you guys. I was shocked. I felt pregnant, I was having dreams about babies, I had no sign of AF and I usually start spotting days before AF actually arrives. All the positivity didn't help us, unfortunately. I'm crushed and shocked and heartbroken. This was our last try as we've already spent $40K on this endeavor! I don't know what we'll do next. I can't even think about it.
I got the call at about 3:00, had to tell DH a half hour later when he got home, then had to pull myself together to teach a class. I cried the whole way to campus, but actually lecturing to 150 students helped to get my mind off it! I came home to pizza and a chocolate souffle (DH sure knows how to cheer me up!). Then wouldn't you know it, my DSL line was down so I couldn't log onto the board to share my news.
Anyway, I think I'll be signing off for a few days b/c I can't keep thinking about this stuff 24/7. I hope you all understand. Good luck to all who are testing today or in the coming days. And good luck to everyone else either in the middle of treatment or waiting for treatment to start. I wish you all the best.

Hi Girls...

Well my 2ww is going well - I feel irrationally calm. Neither positive nor negative - just slowly ticking over. I am SURE the anxiety will kick in very soon but for the moment I'm okay. Had AF pains on Saturday, awful AF pains all day Sunday, mild AF pains and backache yesterday, a few twinges today, headache tonight. But going on this message board and reading everyone's experiences has made me realise that it is normal and that there is no formula of symptoms for a BFP or BFN! DH looks at me occasionally with a twinkle in his eye and a small smile and I just smile back knowingly. It is our 2nd Wedding Anniversary today but I am so tired that I have come to bed early with the laptop! That's about as sexy as it gets I'm afraid!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Charlie & Richard - I can't believe you had EC without a general anaesthetic!!! There is no way on earth I would ever have that - what an ordeal for you!! Glad the ET went well - Pleased to hear from you Richard and good to hear you are taking good care of Charlie. When is your test date?

Sue - LH surge arrived yet?

Jen C - I am so excited about your little twins - wow! Are you having pg symptoms yet?

Anna - You poor thing - you have been jigging on and off since I first arrived here in Decemeber!! Have ceased jigging for moment though!!!!

Eminde - so sorry for your BFN. Hope you get to do FET soon but in the meantime take some time out for yourself - hugs.

Lynne - So, so sorry to hear about AF. I can't beleive AF came so soon. Big hugs to you and DH.

Journey - hope you are resting!

Heather - great to hear ypour news!! Sorry about the sperm donor though - what a shame! Keep up the drinking!

Tracii - hope the increased dosage works!

Kelly - sorry to hear the terrible news. DH sounds like a star. take care.

Hi all,

Well finally LH surge came today (day 18), will ring the hospital in the next hour but i reckon it may be a no go this month, as normally too busy on a sat for et (so said the nurse), we will see though, let you all know later.

Sophie - Glad your 2ww is going well, dont often hear that!!!! Happy anniversary for yesterday. Wishing you a BFP

anna - whats your plan of action? The clinic is well out of order, do they not realise how much our life revolves around this, they should of definately informed you.

Kelly - so sorry to read your news, i can understand how you must be feeling, big hugs to you,

Heather - Good luck with your donor, wishing you all the best

Tracii - Im sure upping the meds will do the trick, good luck

Sorry got to dash, ran out of time

GOOD LUCK ALL

love

THANK YOU all for the kind words of support :) It really does help you to get through these tough times and I feel so much more encouraged. Dr confirmed we could start a FET cycle right away which I wasn't expecting so I can focus on that now.

Sophie - good on you for feeling calm. Hope the horrid AF-type pains disappear. Lots of PMA to you - you're over half way there!
Charlie/Richard - good news about your ET. You must both be so excited now.
Heather - great that you're feeling more relaxed now - can only do good! I didn't know about those tips for preventing OHSS - wish I'd know before I got it :wink:
Kelly - big hugs to you :cry: I sent you a message on another thread.
Cla - good luck for Friday's scan. Let us know!
Traci - did you get more +ive news from your bloods? Keeping my fingers crossed for your follies to GROW.
journey - hope you're still resting. Well done for the great PMA!
Lynne - so sorry for you. It's horrible when AF comes isn't it - you just feel devasted. I hope you can look forward to May - it does help the pain.

Lots of luck and PMA to everyone!!

Kelly and Eminde - I am so sorry to read your news - my heart is with you. Take care of yourselves.

Sue e - I hope the clinic can fit you in for FET. Keep us up to date with any news.

Sophie - I hope the AF cramps are the 'good' cramps. When I fell naturally pregnant in Sept. I thought for sure AF was coming...but it was actually my uterus expanding....so keep up the PMA!

Charlie&Richard - Great news on ET. Hope to see some good news in 2weeks!

Lisa(Macca8) - How did ET go? How are you feeling?

Hi and best wishes to anyone I missed.

No new news from my side...just upped Puregon to 225 and scan on Saturday. I think the Synarela is too strong this time so I am hoping the increased FSH gets my ovaries working. Last time the Synarela was too weak! (and I ovulated early :shock: ). I am taking it one day at a time..haven't lost the PMA but trying to be realistic. I guess I am more shocked then anything because I am completely healthy (acupuncture, detox diets, exercise, fresh air, very healthy eating...nothing else I can do) with great hormone levels....but I guess if the meds aren't right then it just won't work. DH and I decided last night if there were not more then 5 follies we would probably cancel this cycle.
