Hellooo girlies!!

LIS, the 2ww already!! You are right about keeping busy, it can only help to try to take your mind off the IVF things (well, as much as it is possible...)

LUCY, sorry to hear you are tired and ill... I hope you feel better really soon hun!!

JEN, ARRRGGGHHH. I am using a new computer and I just deleted 3 times now what I wrote to you!!! I dont know what button I press but it is getting annoying!!
So I was saying that I will be on a long protocol again. My doc dont seem to like the flare cycles too much...
You must be so excited about the wedding!! And dont worry, I am sure Broc will be ok for two weeks!!

JULIE, so sorry you are feeling down... I know it must be because of the apprehension of a neg result, but also all those hormones are all over the place and it doesnt help!! I always cry during my cycles. Last time it was when the nurse came around to give me my daily injection. I just bursted into tears and she thought she d hurted me!! Poor thing!!
You will be fine hun, dont worry. Sending you a massive hug!

Nicki, that is great news for the money!! E2 is eostradiol (spelling). I dont know for the others, but it is the blood tests i have to do once i am stimming.

Oh girls... i need some prayers and thoughts and PMA. Last night i received an email from the nurse in my hospital, telling me that they had a staff meeting in the morning and that it was decided that my cycle might be postpone!!!! she said my doc will send me an email today to let me know why.... I am devastated. Not only I am more than ready for this cycle, but my flight is booked, so is my car rental, my family are very excited to see me and so am I ( i have not seen them for 5 months now...) Dh has booked some time off so he can be with me for EC ET.
why is it never easy??? there is always something wrong. I m very tired. So I will have an answer this afternoon, and if it is a no, I will beg her to let me on!!

Please think of me

love to all

Hey girls

i have an answer... after being with the same clinic for 1 year, 2 IVF cycles, they just realised that I should have had a hysteroctomy prior the treatments!! so now they wont start my cycle before they have the result of the hysteroctomy!!
I have spent my morning on the phone with clinics here in Dubai to find a doc who can do it before Monday (because my flight is Monday night!!)
I have an appointment on Saturday, hopefully hysterectomy on Sunday and if the results are ok, I still shoud be flying MOnday!!

What a nightmare...

[Macca8]

Souris,

You frightened the life out me by typing Hysterectomy..do you mean something else...Hysterectomy is a complete removal of the womb?? Surely you can't be having that done?? Or am I misinterpreting?

Love Lisa XXX

[souris]

Oh sorry sorry

Hysteroscopy!!!!!! See ow confused i am!!![/u]

[Macca8]

Oh thank god for that Souris. I hope you are okay honey.
I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Love Lisa XXX

[souris]

Lisa thanks for yor kind words.

I am just loosing it completely... Now that I found an appointment on Saturday, I thought things would be ok.... well it is not. I went to the loo few hours ago and when I wiped, there was a bit of blood... I really dont know what it means, unless that I am having my period 10 days early, which messes things up for my cycle.... I bought an ovulation kit, hoping that it was spotting because of ovulation (although it never happens to me!!) but it is negative.... So i guess it is AF. I really really dont know any more. And now Dh thinks i am crazy because I spent 30pounds on the kit!!!

I am fed up with the whole thing, IVF is hard enough bt on the top of that it is too difficult for me to arrange everything, travel, time off for dh etc...

thanks for listening!!

[NickiMark]

Thx for answering the Q re: E2!! makes sence now!!!

Souris, honey that sucks that you have been delayed!!! Argh!!! How annoying!!! But honey it'll happen sooner than u think, try to chill my dear!!!

Jen hope you have fun in aviemore!!!

Julie hope everything is good with you, when is EC?? it's monday am i right???

Lisa, 2ww going well, you can do it x x x

As for the the trog whos preggers, got pregnant accidently her doctor told her to change pills, and during the change over it happened, i mean what a lot of crap is that!!!
I was on the pill way before we started ttc, and no way would that happen, surely you'd end one pack, have your 7 day break, and start the new brand pack!!! I dont get it?? does any1 else???

I emailed back saying bet your mad with your doctor what did he say???

No reply yet!!!

[Julie2039]

LIS thanks for your kind words honey and sorry you are so sad xxx....I feel bit better today but do think things have caught up with me and i am tired out at work and can't think straight after 3pm so discussing reducing my hours tomorrow for the next week....pushing myself too hard with travelling to hos each day. Best of luck on your 2WW xx


NIKKI - Ginormous HUGS for you kid. I am so sorry, everytime you crawl up you get knocked back down but like JEN said try and keep the faith. Your time will come when you can stick two fingers up to all them that have peed you off when you are pushing your pram down the street! LIS will be first and me a close second then there will be no stopping LUCY then JEN SOURIS and all others who tread this board. We will be calling the thread Phoenixes Blooming by spring time xxx

SOURIS - Love n hugs and PMA to you. I nearly had a heart attack myself with the hysterctomy mix up!!! Really hope you get something good from the test. As for AF she can suprise us when we least/most want it...look at it as a clear out of your system. Take care x

JEN - Thanks for the uplift x Well done on the detox...I haven,t tried one yet ! Did look into it, good on ya both. Have a fab time in Aviemore xx

Hi to everyone else. Got folly scan tomorrow morning xxx

[NickiMark]

Oh yes, i have no doubt that soon this will be the pregnant pheonixes thread!!!

[souris]

hey girls

Jan cycle is postponed for me, as AF arrived very early....
am very very sad. Still will fly back to france as my ticket is non reimbursable. will try to work for a month, until Feb AF (if she is on time).
what makes me sad is that Dh and I will be separated, again, maybe for 1 and half months...

[NickiMark]

Firstly ive posted a Qusetion thread, about the pill before IVF, can anyone help me here!!???

I was worried earlier that Coz i cant see my counsellor now til 9th feb, and AF is due 10th, I wouldnt get going, but the nurse explained to me, that if Af comes on 10th ive still got 21 days anyway, so not to worry, so within those 21 days i should be able to have the egg share and IVF appointments ok, so now not so worried, and sure that I will be ok to start, also Af for Jan is due tomorrow, I have a feeling she wont show til tus/wed, (I am still monitoring when I ovulate, it's 2nd nature now)

Lisa, I txt you earlier, so not sure if u read it or not, I was just at work then and worried about NO IVF til Mar/April, but how that all changes!! so now it does look like it'll be feb/march!!

Did i tell you also that my manger is cool with me taking time off, for this ivf, so all looking good now!!

souris, honey!! I am sorry that Af is here too early!!! how annoying huh?? So u will be having Af at same time roughly as me in Feb, will u down reg first, or are you straight in there!!!
That sucks that u are seperate from DH for so long, I couldn't do it, so must be strong!!
Are you and DH french?? Do u live in France?? Do u or Dh work in France??

Jen, hope ur having fun in the snow!!!

Julie, how are you doing?? whats the latest with you??? Hope everything is running smooth!!!

Love to everyone else!!! Have a good w-end!! x x

[Kate21]

Hi Girlies,

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, but needed time out from the whole IVF/pregnancy thing.

Souris, sorry to hear about your cancelled cycle. Life can be a real bummer sometimes, its hard enough for us to keep the PMA going without dear AF causing us more heartache!! Keep your head up, everything happens for a reason and when you start your cycle in a few weeks it will be the ONE!

Nickie, like I said to Souris life is a ***** and some people have all the luck. However, I firmly believe that when we do get pregnant (and we will) we will appreciate it more and make great mothers because we are stronger people. Some people don't realise how lucky they are!! Has she replied to you yet? Don't stress about the IVF and injections, after the first one its a breeze!!!

Jen, good on you on doing the detox. Not sure I would have the will power, although I am trying. Can't believe your wedding is so close, how exciting!! I know what you mean about being anxious about Broc. I have a cat and I'm just the same about him!! Dread to think what I'll be like when I have a baby!!

Lisa, how is the 2WW going? Keep the positive thoughts going

Julie, I know what you mean about feeling stress and worried and thinking it won't work. Thats why I had to have time out, I do feel better for it but keep the PMA going girl. Sending you loads of hugs, its only natural to worry but when you get your BFP it will all be worth it x

Lucy, sorry to hear you're not feeling too great. Just do what your body tells you, if you want to sleep sleep. Think thats what we do wrong, we think we should be doing stuff and then we get knackered and run down and it doesn't help. Take time out to relax, sending you hugs x

MLG - congrats on baby Daisy, enjoy every moment

Hi to everyone else I may have missed, Gail and bump:D

As for me I'm really really good with life. I'm looking to do a FET towards the end of Jan start of Feb, so hopefully I will be pregnant by March!!! I really took time out for myself over xmas and enjoyed it, didn't worry about what I should be eating and drinking, I just had what I wanted. I slept loads which I think had a great effect, gave my body time to re-charge and relax. I also started going to yoga, which I cannot recommend enough. I used to have a real problem switching off and relaxing, but it has really helped. I can now feel the difference, my relationship with DH is much better and I am so positive about things - give it a go girls!!!

Will keep you posted about the FET - keep your heads up girls, 2007 is THE year to have a baby

Kate

[NickiMark]

Great to hear from ya Kate, was getting worried!!! Great news about the FET.....Yes, you preggers by March and me by april!!!!

Excellent x x

[Lis]

Nicki - got your text this morning and replied. Glad to here it all looks ok for Feb that's great news

Kate - you sound so refreshed and positive Like you, at Christmas I took loads of time out, ate and drank what I wanted and had nearly 2 weeks off work. I am still feeling the benefit. For once, I wasn't thinking of infertility 24/7! Had loads of nights out too, getting dressed up and drinking champagne. It was wonderful Keep us posted and all the best xx

Jen - hope you're having a brill time this weekend and hope there's loads of snow for you. PS Broc will be fine too

Souris- life sure does test us does it not? When it all works out you will look back on this and it will all have been worth it. Like Kate said I too really believe we were sent down this route so that we could have the true joy of really appreciating motherhood once it comes along - and it will. Keep up the PMA

Julie - what a wise idea cutting back your hours. You have to look after no.1 at the mo. So glad you are feeling better. Sorry if I too was on a rant. Sometimes you need to let it all out huh? Any date yet for EC?? xx

Hi to Lucy - sweetie are you ok? , MLG and Daisy, Gail and bump xx

As for me. This cycle I am not doing anything different apart from cutting out on the vino - altho I had 2 small glasses last night and will have a couple tonight. After all, all my previous approaches have done absolutely zilch! Have come to the conclusion that my BFN's are nothing to do with anything I have done or not done - it is outwith my control. Have followed Zita'a advice, cut back on the exercise, taken iron supplements, had herbal treatment and adopted every attitude under the sun from super positive - meditation style to negative - its not going to work style! The only thing it has done for me is to drive me INSANE over the last 6 months!!!! So no more - I am being ME this cycle beacuse at least I'll still have my sanity at the end of it!! So I'm off to the gym to do my classes later and chilling out with a glass of something chilled tonight

Hope all phoenixes have a great weekend
