October buddies??

[nictor]

Hi Ladies,

Not sure if its too early for an October thread,but i've just had a BFN from my FET,and i've had 2 BFN's from 2 fresh ivf cycles..

Im hoping and praying i can go with October AF and cycle again,my problem is DP not too keen,think he's had enough dissapointment and unhappiness that comes with ivf,so we're chatting and talking things through at the moment,and im praying that we can cycle again then.

If theres anyone that will be starting tmt then drop me a line and lets see if we can pull together and get lots of BFP's that month..

Take care..Nicola..xx

Hey Nicola!!!

I will be an end of Sept/first of Oct Girl!! If I start my next period when I am suppose to I will be doing ER the 1st week of Oct and ET the following week.

I am actually getting excited about this cycle!! I am going to take off work for this one and I am really excited about that!! It just stresses me out too much to juggle work, IVF and hormones!!

I hope you decide to do another cycle!!

Good Luck!!

Hi Jessica,how are you?

Im glad you're excited about this cycle,i sincerely hope its your time. Ive always taken the 2ww off work,even though they've not been too happy with this,in fact i called today and told them im not going back till next week,after the week ive had i just cant face it,i'll start back next Tuesday.My theory is that what im trying to create is more important than any job!!

Anyway if we decide we're going again im going with October AF,this FET was a natural cycle,so no drugs,so by the time i start in Oct,my body will have been free of IVF drugs since May,so ive given myself enough time physically,emotionally and financially to recover! I've been on this rollercoaster since last December,thats 3 cycles and i feel i cant give up until we get that BFP..

Hopefully we'll all get an extra special Christmas pressie this year..xx

We need lots and lots of PMA PMA PMA

C'mon ladies bring on the BFP's..

take care.love Nicola..xx

Hello,

I am a mother of two boys and I am hoping to start my long cycle in October. I have been undergoing tests to try and determine why I miscarry and why both live births had such hard pregnancies. I am going for a sonohystogram tomorrow. If they find nothing, they will start me as early as Sunday or as late as Sept 3. In case you are wondering, I had my tubes tied after my last son because I had such hard times and the miscarriges where really hard emotionally. Six years later, we are ready to try one more time, but getting a tubal reversal is out of the question due to previous tubal preg. I have a family history of endometriosis (mother had hystorectomy at 29 and my sister is about to have hers at 27). I am now 28 and I am just hoping this works because I can only afford on shot! Good luck to all of you.

Hey ladies, I too will be starting my shots inSeptember and doing ER and ET in October. This si smy first time doing IVF/ICSI. I am 24 and my husband is 35. He had a failed vasectomy reversal, so this is our only option at having a child of our own. I am so nervous and scared and excited. Glad I am not going throughit alone

Hi Ladies,

Can i join you, Technically i'm doing my FET in November, but i'm starting my cycle in October.

Plus i think it would be great all us old buddies back together to support.

Nicola - I know how you feel, about not being able to give up till you have a BFP. I feel the same, my DH is trying to be as supportive as possible, but he's got the money worries and that's the main thing that's stopping us. He is also worried about how much more heartache i can take, but i feel i would be worse if we give up, because that's the end, that's it nothing else to hold on to. I don't think i could handle the fact that i can't have children, i still need to fight.......
I hope you can both work this out and do a cycle in Oct...

Jessica hunny, How are you?? I've been thinking about you, It's so great that you are trying again and are so positive about it... You go Girl!!!!!
Sounds like a really good idea to take the time off, but make sure you keep your mind active or your go mad....lol

Jordon - Hi Hun, how you doing?? hope your ready willing and able to be a mum in the next 11/12 months.....

It's so great we are all here together......

Hi to all the other ladies, i haven't met yet...good luck!!!!

Ladies this is going to be our month!!!!!! PMA BFP PMA BFP PMA BFP

Take Care

Mind if I join in? If all works out dollar wise...I am planning to start for FET in October, too!

[Filipa]

Hi all,

Nicola you and I actually tested on the same day. I got a BFN too!! So sorry that we are all having to have more goes at this but good luck to everyone and wouldn't it be fab to have a Xmas BFP?

If all goes well (I have ovarian cysts that need to disappear first) we will be having ER/ET mid-end October. So looking forward to having some October buddies as I was late in joining last attempt.

Thinking of everyone and glad to see it is not too early to start an October thread.

Love Filipa X

Hello Everyone!!

My goodness, I am glad to see the October thread getting off to such a great start!!!

I went to the chiropractor yesterday to get adjusted and I told him that I haven't been resting very well and he did a few quick checks and thinks that mentally I am doing well with my stress but that my body is not! He wants me to come back next week for a more in depth exam!

So I am trying to think of ways to help my body destress!!! When we moved in January DH put my treadmill in the shop at the farm until we got settled. I got him to move it to the house this week and I am going to start walking again.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

Rachel!! Thinks for the thoughts!! I read thru your posts where your sweet DH posted and it made me cry! How sweet! We are very lucky to have such loving support from our DH's! I am usually the strong one but he really helped me when I was so down after the BFN!

I know what you mean about keeping your mind active, I plan on having lots of books and movies! The hurry up and wait drives me crazy!!!

Filipa--Welcome! Glad you found us!!

AMD--Know what you mean about the $$$ hope it all works out!!!

Shelton--Welcome and good luck on your first IVF!!

Nicola--Hope you are having a great day!! I like your musketeer idea and we are growing!!! I really appreciate your support!! Thanks!!

Tonia-- I am glad that they put you at ease about the Intralipids! Is this something that is given by IV or pill or what?? Very curious! My memory might be wrong on this but do you take baby aspirin with you cycles also?? I did with my FET and I assume I will do it again this cycle.

cmoscar--Welcome and good luck with your cycle!!!

Hope all is well with everyone!

Will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers!

Good Morning Ladies,

I would love to join you. If everything goes well I should be starting meds. in late September for my 1st IVF. I'm 35 years old and my husband is 38. We have been trying for close to two years with no results. I have had one failed round of IUI but my Dr. thinks it would be best to go directly to IVF. I am new to this whole process and am overwhelmed and would love to have people to share the experience with.

Good Luck to Everyone.

Hello Nance!!

Welcome and you will find great support from this board! I know that I am glad that I found it!!

Don't hesitate to ask questions, rant or rave!!

I know that the drugs affect everyone differently but I have been lucky and done really well with them, especially during the fresh cycle. Now, I have to admitt I did have hot flashes during my FET cycle but that is because I was on more lupron than that what is done in the Fresh! But it still wasn't bad!!

I also remember we had to go to a class on IVF before we started and that completely overwhelmed me! I have to say that class was much more overwhelming than the real thing. I think it is too much at once. The real thing is a gradual process and not so overwhelming!

Good luck!!
