September Hope's and Dream's

[langton]

Hi aunty pebs and jackoa. How are you both. ive missed you. your nearly there now September is only a week away. I bet you are very exited. Im sorry you had to go through all this again. it will all work out this time
The good thing is you no what to expect and there is no need to be scared. i kind of went through it twice just never got to the transfer the first time. it is frustrating you have to start all over but it was worth it all second time round for me. You can give all these 1st timers all the advice they need. i'll never forget you two. a friend in need is a friend indeed.
couldnt have got through it all without you both.
I wish you both the best of luck. And i hope all your dreams come true this time.luv you both
As for me, Im doing ok. id did get really bad sickness but its eased off now. They are both fine. but i still cant help taking each day as it comes. I said i would try to snap myself out of it when i reach 16 weeks. only 2 weeks to go. but i cant help but worry that its just too good to be true. when i had that bleed i reasiled it can all be taken away from you quiker than you know it. i am feeling positive now though.
I cant wait till your joing us on the 1st trimester. well im on my second now but i darned move.

oh ive posted them on photo bucket.
Take care you two and i'll see you soon
lots of love
Hayleyxxx

My next appointment is on Sunday morning (for my last scan) I got a sheet of paper and a load of other stuff with information when i started, but i thought the info bout 'sex' was for when my DH was getting tested for the first time - i suppose it applies to all times then.

It says on my schedule that for Sunday (27th) i am NOT to take my menopur injection untill the doctor has scanned me, and then im to stop taking the superfact injection.

I have already been scheduled in for EC on Tuesday (29th) but havent been given a time (am or pm) yet - they told me today that i will be given that on Sunday!

No matter how many eggs are collected, my DH and i have decided to fertalize ONLY 2 eggs (the embroyologist will choose the best 2 eggs she feels will make it). We felt that we wouldnt be able to cope with the decision of what to do with the frozen embroy's should this work the first time. We are afraid of the embroyos being 'destroyed' as we feel from time of conception - is life! We dont want to have to 'destroy' them a few years down the line should this work. This is a high risk, we know that - as this might not work the first time around, as the more i hear on this site, the more im afraid that the eggs wont 'bond' together and we will have to start from scratch again. I hope i havent offended anyone, that was not my intention, and in no way do we critisize or judge any decision that is made by other couples, we just decided on what we felt was best for us, as im sure you all do.
As there are no infertility problems (the reason we are on IVF is because i have been steralized) my eggs are fine - his sperm count is fine, we are hoping that this is a factor in our treatment that will work in our favor.

As for the questions, i will write them down (i have a memory like a sieve, and always seem to remember the questions i wanted to ask - once i have left lol)

GL to everyone

Aunty
you are horrible I was just nicely eating my lunch and than I read what you wrote about DH thinking someone was coming to visit. I nearly spit out my food I was laughing so hard My DH is exactly the same one day he came up and was reading behind me.. He got kind of sad looking and when I asked why he said "you guys dont have to call us Dumb Husbands" I felt so bad and than I told him it meant "dear hubby" he felt much better. How was shopping..

Hayley
Oh honey I have been following up on you and I keep checking to make sure you and the little ones are doing good.. I am so glad to here from you and to know that you are feeling better.. I truly dont think any of us ladies going through this will ever just RELAX but I am glad to see you are doing better and maybe starting to enjoy this We will all hopefully be there with you soon...

Hugs to you and your little ones
Love
Jackie

@AuntyPebbles: Love your drums. I'm sure they will help


@Welshgirl38:

(i have a memory like a sieve, and always seem to remember the questions i wanted to ask - once i have left lol)

LOL, I'm the same way.

Why is it when you try to sleep in the afternoon the phone rings none stop. AH!!!!!

On the advice of the clinic I duely went to bed for an hour this afternoon and the phone must have rung about 6 times. Unfortunately as we live on the work premises we can't unplug it. Never mind I will try again tommorow.

I can't believe how many posts have been made while I was trying to sleep. Well I suppose I had better get ready for work.

Speak to you all soon
Angela

Hi every1

I have been posting on the August Buddies thread but Dory suggested I come over abd join in here!!

I started my treatement on 1st August, i DR'ed and am now just 2 days off my scan to see how (if any) mt follies are doing and, am scheduled for EC next week - very nerve-wracking!!

Both DH and I are 25 and we have been TTC for over 3 yrs now. I have a prob with my tubes and have had tubal surgery which hasn't helped!!

At the moment i've been on Puregon for over a week now and am feeling very bloated and have a dull aching pain down below. - is this normal? I worry about everything.

Anyway, thats me and i'd love to join you.

Hope to speak soon

LOL Vickie x x x

[Welshgirl38]

Hi Vickie,

Welcome - you will love it here, i have only been here for (a week at the most) and i already feel part of the family lol.

Im due for EC on 29th Aug, the dull aching pain below is quite normal - i get that at the moment too - my ovaries feel heavy and each step i take i can feel them being agravated. It feels like its pounding with every step - Dont worry thats ur eggs growing nicely

Let us know how the scan goes ...

Becky Xxx

[AuntyPebbles]

Hi vickie... a great big welcome to you (not too tight i remeber the ovie pain)
thats so sweet of Dory (a fantastic lady) your very welcome here theres a fantastic support system here and tons of PMA, i see your at the most exciting stage, id say with all the aching sounds like your in for as great cycle, i know im odd i love the feeling of my little ones growing, yeah its normal and a great sign... cant wait to read how your scan goes...

i will add you to the list big hug Debz

Hi girls,
Wish my day started off better... Today was my first ultrasound after 5 days of stimming. I only have 3 follies on the left and 2 (that they can SEE) on the right. The endometrioma that I have on my right ovary has grown considerably (4cm!) with the stims and they are concerned about it effecting egg quality. My ovary is kind of tucked behind my uterus because of it and they can't see it well. The nurse took a picture and as she left to go show my RE she told me that she predicted my RE would either cancel the cycle and start over with increased dosages or increase my dosage starting today. He increased my Gonal F to 300 iu AM & PM! Needless to say, I am really concerned... I guess all I can do is hope and stay positive that things will have improved by Friday. Does anyone know what might be the "normal" amount of follies they'd expect to find on the first ultrasound? I am so worried.

I can't believe how busy this board is!!! I am trying hard to learn about all of you and where you are at! I even have a paper next to my computer with your names and misc. notes!! lol! I'll catch on soon, i hope.

Have a good day everyone!!!
Karen

[AuntyPebbles]

Hi Karen,
i hate when they freak you out at scans they did that to me all of my last cycle... i had three cysts that kept growing all through the stimms every time i went they said they may cancel and i had to wait for a call... i was also told i only had 5 follies and that was at the end of my stimming (450 Gonal F) so we really thought it was a no go cycle ... i ended up with 11 eggs 10 mature... so dont you let them worry you 5 is a really good amount to have at this stage remeber we only need one good one
at the stage your at i only had 3 follies 3 cysts so although your endo is playing up your follies seem great...

i pray next time you go the follies have tipped the balance for you..

love and hugs Debz

[Casy P]

I can't believe how busy this site is. Trying to keep up with it all but my little one likes to try and join in if I read it in the day which isn't much help!
I am slowly getting to know who is who and I am amazed at what some of you have been through and yet you are so kind and supportive. You are great and it puts things in perspective for me.

Becky (Welshgirl)- I can understand what you are talking about with the decision to freeze eggs. I was in 2 minds but the decision was taken from us as although I had 19 eggs only 2 were of good enough quality. However, now I am preparing for the rollercoaster again, kind of wish we had some frozen ones but was not meant to be.

Karen-hope you scan reveals good news on Friday. As it has been said its the quality that counts. I have read about girls only having a few eggs but they all fertilised and were of good quality. As I said above my 19 were obviously not great quality.

Vickie- Welcome and thinking of you for next week. That aching sounds good!

Will try and check in again tomorrow eve. Does everyone find this site so addictive or is it just me?!! It;s not like me to look at something so much
