i no exeactly what you ladies mean. Im so glad that im finally not the only one to feel like this. The last place i use to work people just seemed to cough and they were falling pregant. Im shure it waz summit in the tea (i dont like tea but shure the hell would of drunk bucket loads if i thought it would of got me pregant) I worked there for 3 years and i think that out of 13 ladies i was the only one not to have had a baby it made me so mad when they all kept saying was your trying to hard or stop thinking about it its very easy not to think about it when your gonig back and forth to the hospital 3 times a week injecting yourself 4 times a day and taking tablets everyday yeah right! very easy. One other thing i found people tend to tip toe aruond me when they found they were pregant they didnt dare tell me. What do they think im going to do kinap there baby or summit my really close freind at this place was 5 month pregant were i worked before she told me everyone new except me well i new come she was my friend it was my job to know. She just didnt tell me i didnt let on i wanted her to tell me herself but she never that hurt big time. What ever my problems were they werent hers i would of been happy for her.Shure i would of been jelous and crying inside but that wouldnt of been her problem we were suppose to be friends. Friends are there for each other and if you cant tell one of your closest friends your pregant then who can you tell. We kind of dirfted apart after that think she didnt want to be around me knowing how much i wanted a baby. Which is sad i want my own not hers. So dont think your alone sometimes i want to scream at people when this happens what do they know how can you try to hard when doing all this kinda takes it out of you and you dont feel like having sex anyway.

Mom20--You just hit the nail on the head with that rant, great job! I was just talking tonight with one of my friends about how we hate when people walk on egg shells around us. Drives me bonkers!
Sassy--Thanks. It still hasn't really sunk in. I'm a freaking wreck at times, thinking that it's just too good to be true and that at any minute the other shoe is going to drop. Overall, though, I'm trying to just take it moment by moment and enjoy!

just dropping in to say to Meg I am so delighted for you - stories like yours give the rest of us hope. Of course we want you to stay around - you are our no.1 script writer for the Reproducers - although I'm thinking now you might not be able to come up with such good material - ie there 'll be no more dogs attacking DH when he gives you injections coz no more injections for you! Congrats again - it's so brilliant.
Hi to everyone else - I'm feeling a bit flat today so please excuse if I don't write more chirpy stuff.
Hope you all had good weekends.

HI Girls,how are you all?
Its 9.30am here in the UK,and i woke up this morning and nearly one of the first things i thought of was "our" Meg,my family know i "talk" to you all,so i called and told my sister,dont get me wrong she was like oh thats good,but i think unless you're on this forum and getting to know each other its not the same,i was honestly over the moon for you yesterday Meg,wish we could have a few more like you..
Sassy..it can sometimes get you a bit down,when everyone is saying "oh i know this is your time"(how the bloody hell would you know!!!)...All i say is you've been through so much so i truly HOPE that this is the cycle for you..How are you finding the FET cycle,i found it so much easier..
Mom20..i know how you feel,through all my tmts,ive had my ex husband get his girlfriend pg(they were together a week,and i kid you not),my sister in law,my sister and then my other sis in law,and all were reluctant to tell me,and like you i cried felt jealous,but on the outside congratulated them all even though my heart was breaking..
Hope everyone else is well..love Nicola..xx

You all are just overwhelming me with your support. I gotta say, if I were in your shoes (and trust me, over the last 5 years I have been a lot) I don't know if I could have been as sweet and caring as you all have been. I know-guilt free zone--but you are all the best of the best.
Which makes me want to rant. What the h@ll is wrong with this world when awesome, caring, capable women like you can't get pregnant, yet psychos like Brittney Spears pop em out like candy? It makes me just want to spit. I know there must be a reason, but for the life of me I can't think of one. And I don't want to hear that this will just make us appreaciate our children more, because that's crap.
Okay, deep breathe. I'm just praying, praying, praying that this is the cycle for all of you and that we can all start a new thread ranting about the joys of parenting!
Thanks again for everything, you are the cream of the crop!

MEG!!!! I can't believe it! I haven't logged on all weekend but just yesterday I was thinking about u and whether you had done the HPT. Bloody well done to you ( and to DH of course). You must be over the moon. I just can't believe it. And you'd better stick around, you clearly have the capacity to rant admirably even while pregnant, we need some of that around here!
Sass, am thinking of your frosties today and hoping like hell that they do whatever they are supposed to do. I reckon I'll be about a week behind you in transfer time...
Ang, sorry to hear your feeling low. Hoping a mood swing comes your way STAT!.
Mom20, welcome, I loved your rant. I think we can all relate to how you feel.
Must rush I have loads of work to do today and actually feel like doing it...

Crazy is the word for it!
I'm on day five of stims, having a stimulated cycle for FET. Feeling pretty damn good actually much better than on the IVF one so I hope that bodes well...
I have more bloods on Wednesday, possibly a scan on Thursday...On my calculations I will have transfer around 1 or 2 Feb as my frosties are 5 day blasts...(if thaw goes OK).

Hi fee, can I just ask why you are stimming for FET? Thought I understood this crazy lark but obviously I don't . For my FET, I just had to take estrogen tabs (Lots of them) and progesterone pessaries (lovely).
Btw I start down regging (nasal spray) next week.

Hi Ang
I didn't really know until I read the FET page on this website! Apparently there are a number of ways to prepare for FET, hormone replacement being one and stims being another. The stims are usually (as I understand it) used for us girls who don't ovulate regularly. So I started my cycle this month on BCP, then AF. then bloods to see if I am baseline, then on to stims (very low dose - 25iui of Puregon - because I am an overreactor). I think that the aim is to produce one egg (i.e to try to mimic a normal bodily cycle). At the right time (which inlcudes when lining is right) I think I get triggered and then transfer some days later.
Not 100% sure if all that is right but that's what I think it is. From what I can tell from these boards seems most girls are on what you're having...
When did you start on the progesterone pessaries in your last cycle??? I understand it is a bit earlier than with a usual IVF...
Fee
PS what happened with your OHSS?? 3 days in hospital?? That sux

mmm! interesting - there was no mention of producing the one egg for me on my FET cycle even though it sounds like we have similar issues, PCO, not ovulating etc. Obviously the approach they used with me didn't work - I may ask them about your treatment. Pessaries were a few days before FET - 3 or so from memory? and right up to test day.
My first fresh produced just over 20 eggs, I lost interest in the amount after 20. 12 fertilised. The OHSS crept up and 4 days after ET I nearly passed out when I got out of the shower one morning and Dr D said go to hospital. Stayed for 3 days - bloated up more, they had to measure my stomach each day and how much urine I was passing (had to pee in a pot!)
Quite a surreal experience but recovered soon afterwards. Am hoping I don't get a repeat of that but my dosage of Gonal F will be lower this time - stimming may be longer and slower. Bit nervous all the same.
bye for now.

Lordy that OHSS doesn't sound fun, at least they know what to expect from us on the second fresh cycle though... I was mighty scared on the first one but if I have to do a second fresh will be a bit braver because I know what I'm in for and they can change the protocols a bit.
Have fun with the down regging...can't wait to be in the 2ww!

Hey girls!
Mom20: ooooo, yeah, hate it when people stop telling me not to think about IVF so much. Um, excuse me miss fertile (b/c i have NEVER had anyone who has done ivf tell me i am thinking about it too much!!!)... YOU go in to the RE 3-4x per wk for dildocam, shoot yourself up twice a day, scar your veins from bw every other day... and get phone calls that afternoon re: results, grow your ovaries the size of grapefruits, then have them sucked out through a needle and see how easily you can "stop thinking about it"!!!!
Angie: hoping you are feeling better. One of those moods, or is something bummin' you out? Your OHSS sounds like it was a nightmare.
nictor: i sincerely appreciate your hopes for me. I actually got all emotional when i read that. You are right, sometimes it is hard for me to hear the sicky-sweet "oh, i just know it will work for you this time", as i find it to be insincere. But, i do appreciate hearing that others are (like me!) hoping that this time is my time. Thanks.
Fee: hoping you had a smashing wkend! I had no idea that some women "stim" before an FET. Fascinating. It is amazing how different all of our tmts can be! You learn something new everyday!
meg: oooooo, a preg rant. Cool
! How are you feeling? btw, i appreciate your sensitivity re: gettin' knocked up and all... and i can only speak for myself.... do i wish that i, too, was preg... yes. Having said that, my excitement and happiness for your amazing miracle is sincere. I consider you guys my "board friends" and having had a silly, yet supportive exchange for quite a while now, i feel a kinship w/you all as we have shared a lot of the frustrations and struggles associated w/ivf. i know enough about you, meg, to know that you have been through the fire, and as a result, i fully rejoice in your success. In fact, in some weird way, i consider it partially mine (no, not the preg 
, just the success), as i have gained hope from your experience (ooooo, and as you all know that is a tough sell 
).
i don't have a rant, but i am thinking that we need a "golden dildocam" award for "fertiles" (does it bother anyone that i use this term... i only use it for convenience sake...) who are supportive of us still trying. yesterday i was visiting w/ a few women from my church. I recently have "put out the word" that we have been doing ivf... and questions about whether or not we are going to have kids have decreased significantly . Anyway, one told me she had heard, and sat and explained in detail to the other (who knew nothing about ivf) that it is an excrutiatingly difficult process, and she has amazing respect for women that go through it once, much less multiple times (her sister had 6 
naturally, tubes tied, then wanted another so did one fresh IVF and said she would never consider doing anything like that again... but ladies, that is a totally different rant ). Just thought i would pass it on that there are such people out there...
As for me, per my schedule, my frosties were thawed yest. How long does that process take? I was surprised, as my ET isn't scheduled until Thurs. I am assuming, then, that it takes a good 24 hrs to thaw them. Don't know when i will hear... i am assuming tomorrow??
Ciao!

Hi All,
Another busy day for me I'm afraid....
Sass, I don't really know about the thaw thing but I think that when your embies are frozen at an early stage, they thaw them and then leave them for a few days to continue developing. Does that sound right. I've still got everything crossed for you!
Now as far as your golden dildo award goes I think that it is a great idea! Much as we like to rant there are occasionally people who say and do the right thing. I'm struggling to think of one right now but I'll keep you posted.
As we ladies are well aware there are often those who put their massive feet in their massive mouths and P**s us off unneccessarily. I think we need a dildo (or similar) award for those punters as well.
Geez times is flying by, not long till your on the revolving stirrup bed!
Ang hope your feeling better today. I couldn't sleep last night so got up at 5.00am and went out for a walk with the dog. I find driving in to work with loud music blasting quite relaxing and de-stressing...
Meg, whatcha up to?
