December-January Cycle Buddy's Our New beginnings

[Angie65]

Ok - me again - got chance to catch up now all you ladies are in bed.

Re the frozen V fresh debate. Well I guess we will see with me this time. I was certainly happy to do a thaw cycle this time as my first IVF in June was a bit traumatic (ended up in hospital for 3 days with OHSS) - however if it doesn't work this time - (BUT it will! BFP, BFP, BFP - I do have PMA!) then even if we had frosties left I wd want to do another fresh due to age of eggies - impending 38th birthday etc etc. So that 's my thoughts on the subject!

Aunty - I wd love to have you come and do artistic things to our house - When we ever buy it !- we are hoping to buy one this year so I will beam you over to OZ to paint and make it look beautiful!

OK 6 hours and counting til FET - I think I am going to wake DH up and tell him to get working on putting the bbq together - he is still snoozing and enjoying his unusual Monday lie in - lazy bum!

Will post more later - hope you're all well . A X

Caroline,

Your scan looked great. The eggs is growing nicely. I am happy for you. Good luck on EC tomorrow. How will the procedure be? Last time, DR made me sleep for 1/2 hours n also fasting on 12AM. Is it same? Don't forget to accu after EC Im so exciting for you. You are in my thoughts n prayer.

Luv, Jemma

ok, guys, meltdown time!!! I am losing it. I thought AF had arrived yest am (cramps from hell, spotting, etc.) but NOOOOO. Just 36 hrs of black clots (what the hell????) (ok, tmi ). I was supposed to start Lupron this am (should have been my day 2) and couldn't start. Baseline US/BW @7am tomorrow (which is the last day to start this stim cycle) and I am scared to death that i am going to be cancelled. That would be "nervous breakdown producing" material for me. Help!! anyone else had this happen before????

dh has heard about enough of my anxious concerns as he can take for one day, so i had to vent somewhere else. I know i am probably on a hormone-induced overreactive rant, but i am SOOOO scared! Help!!!

[AuntyPebbles]

Its a big day for us today lady's...

Angie sweetie we will all be thinking of you and your little ones sending prayers and love for a smooth transfer hope to read you when you feel up to it....hugs

Sokru and Sassy big congratulations on starting your stimms grow eggies grow....

Jordan congratulations your on your way now wont be too long till you get your babys back home ...

so excited for you all

with love and hugs Aunty

[AuntyPebbles]

Hey sassy sorry posted before i read yours....where are you in your IVF? sorry if you have said before but i had the same type of af right after my last cycle i chose not to go again but my clinic said i could if i had wanted to...if they did stop you this one (praying they wont) then will you be able to go dec?.....when you go for your scan tomorrow they will be able to see if your womb is ok to go ahead i know it can be heart breaking but you want the best for your babies so think of it as having the best possible home and giving them the best possible chance you can hey on the brite side you will be with me....
i hope all is well with you please let us know as soon as you do i will say extra prayers for you tonight..

hugs love Aunty

[Angie65]

hello - me again ! back from my FET - I am officially on my 2ww! Hoooray! Very pleased as we had 5 in storage, they put back 2 and we still have 3 left - hooray!

have to keep up with the progynova and progesterone all the way through the 2ww (and beyond if there is a beyond...)- they don't seem to be affecting me too badly - we'll see. Stay calm Angela stay calm!

Sassy - good luck with your scan tomorrow and try not to worry - our AF's can be all over the place during all this (mine always are) so the only way they will know if you are good to go is by the scan, so hang in there luvvey.

Have a good Monday everyone! DH has now gone off to fill the gas bottle and buy my dinner ( sent him as I have to "take it easy" )so we are going to christen the new barbie tonight - yum!

[Angie65]

oops! forgot to say they were 2 day embies (that's all our clinic does) an 8 cell and 4/5 cell. I don't know what that means? - they don't seem to get involved in grading like they do in the US.

[lara312]

Good Morning Ladies,

How are you all? Hope ur all doing well and have loads of PMA, it sounds like ur all doing just great Only a few personals today im afraid, i just wanted to wish those who are sooooooo close loads of sticky baby dust

Angie64: Woooooooo Hooooooooo its official, ur on the wonderful 2ww - so i guesss this means that u test on Monday 11th Dec (correct me if im wrong) i will deff come in to see ur stork that Aunty will send you, i cant wait to see it up there. 2 x embies at 8 cell and 4/5 cell is brilliant hun, and to have 3 left also is just brilliant - u'll have kids everywhere in no time lol. Just relax and think positive thoughts - PMA PMA - good luck hun, i'll be thinking of you.

Gbnut: How u doing on ur 2ww hun? Testing on the 6th - i do love it when testing comes around, its so exciting and its great to see that people are finally getting their dream AS i said to Angie, relax and think positive thoughts, will be keeping my eye out for ur stork also - looks like ur gonna be the first one up on the list

Carolyn: Hi hunnie I cant beleive ur EC is here already (well tomorrow) Ur follies sound absolutly fantastic, i never thought to inject equally on both sides when i was doing it, i had more on my right, and would always inject there - its a good point to make. I cant beleive u had to 'shoot up' at the concert hahahaha, that made me laff, i bet u had a lot of explaining to do lol - still, u fitted in well i guess hahaha! Remember just cos i dont come here as often - im still 'egging' u on lol - i will be thinking of u tomorrow, what time do u go in. I cant beleive u saw that rainbow - thats so nice, u think like me - its a sign - ur pot of gold is on its way to u hun - what a christmas present

As for me ladies, ive accepted my fate and am now resigning myself to being cyber god mother to all ur little ones Aunty u will have to find a pic of an ole granny in a rocking chair for me - and when all the storks start delivering, u can put me up as god mother too, make sure im keeping my eye on u all

Hello and sending my love to eveyone else, keep that PMA up ladies, love u all .....

Becky Xxxxx

[Welshgirl38]

P.S ...

I changed my ticker - woooo hooooo only 28 days left LOL

(Someone had to do it hehehe)

Xxxxx

[Angie65]

lovely to hear from you Becky - I love the idea of you being our cyber god mother! - glad you are well and happy.

Rachel - i never heard that laughing helps but will take that sound advice from you! And what great timing since tomorrow we are going to see Borat with some friends. I will either fall off my chair with laughter or cringe myself to death!

[Welshgirl38]

Opps

I cant beleive i typed Angie64 instead of Angie65 sorry hun, u knew i meant u lol - i was always crap with numbers lol

Becky Xx

Hello everyone

Charity Sorry you did not get a puppy for bday but u will have a baby very soon instead. You made me laugh with the storey about the washing machine. I suppose we all lucky now with our modern conveniences!!!! I want to invent something that will do my ironing for me!!!!!

Angie I was coming on to wish you good luck again with FET but due to time difference you had it done while i was sleeping. That is great news that you have two safely on board. Hope you are resting for the next few days and getting spoiled by D/H how was your BBQ???.

Jordan have you started your Lupron today???? Hope you are well.

Belco Have you started your stims???

Sasslynlv Sorry you are having a hard time. Your AF could have been short due to stress. Hope you have a good scan today and good results with bt and hope you can start soon but as i think Aunty said you want the best environment for this to work. Thinking of you today.

Carolyn how was the killers???? How was the trigger were you able to do it discreetly???? Best of luck tommorow.

Sonya How are you?????

Aunty I liked charity's theory about you working to pay for the accupunture. i agree you will be more stressed if you have to work so if you dont need to i would try not to but i know money does not grow on trees although i wish it did!!!! I had accupuntue last time but have not this time.

Janice Sounds like you have a very strict clinic there to make you lose 10Ibs before they would treat you. You want to be stress free not wanting to have to focus on losing weight!!!! well done on losing the weight. I have lost weight over the last year as i was overweight and still have a bit to go.

Becky You can be my cyber god mother for my babies anytime.But you certainly are not an Ole granny!!!!!! ( the picture i have is that you would need to have gray hair and have it is a bun and have a walking stick beside your rocking chair and you would be doing knitting)) it is scarry that it is only 28 days to xmas!!!

Nimble How are you??

Christine Is this your first time at doing IVF??? I am sure by the time it has finished that you will be over your needle Phobia.

Jackie only 13 more days to you start it will fly by.

Keisha it sound like charity has given you some good info. Hope you and d/h are able to come to a decision.

Jemma When you had your last EC did you have a general Anisetic??? or were you sedated. I was sedated and have no recall of both the EC. I did not have to fast. i supose different clinics do different things.

Rachel i will get the comedy out so that i have a good laugh. thanks for the advice.

Sokru8 do you start stims today???

SSalgado how are things??

Hi to everyone else

I am busy watching rubbish day time tv with my legs up on the sofa with lap top. this is the life!!!!!!!!!

Take care everyone

Susan x

[tcbalgord]

Ohhhhh I'm so happy for all you!!!!!!! Sending tons of sticky baby dust you way. Relax and let your men do the work.

Susan, that's funny about the laptop and daytime tv, as I am sitting with my feet up, with the laptop, waiting for daytime tv to start! Yes I am a virgin to IVF! I don't bout losing the phobia, but I have taken measures to help reduce my anxieity. My friend is a nurse and she will distract me while DH does the sticking! Much rather yell at him then her!!!!!

Sassy, sweetie try not to worry, Aunty took the words right out of my mouth on this one! Stay postive.

Becky, So glad you popped in. I love the idea of you watching over us. However instead of a old lady in a rocking chair I think you should be a fairy godmother. All sparkling and pretty.

As for everyone else, I'll be back later, I have massage therapy today so I have to get ready for that.

Christine
