Auntie, R DR really makes me angry this time. Arrrgggghh!!! i will definately slap him kick his ass if i meet him someday. Sweetie, sending you you my prayer for your follies scan. Im sure everything will be great.

Sassy, Congratulation. Im happy that you are in 2WW now. I can't wait to see ur BFP here.

Haylie, Im so sorry. I just want to know that you are in our thought and prayer. You will be a great mom.

Lori, Congratulation. Im so happy for you.

AMD, Congratulation to you BFP too… Great news on Beta.

Shantala, you will be great on real ET. My nurse told me the reason ET with full bladder, bladder would pushed the gate/mouth (???) of womb facing down, makes DR’s job easier n quicker. Im with 100% agree with phx, my ET was the easiest part. I didn’t have trial; I went straight to the real one. Your story about u n ur female friend as couple made me laugh hard enough to make DH thought I was crazy. Sweetie, WHAT IS IBS?

Macca, 2WW!!! Wow, those 2 top grade beautiful embies will implant strongly. How nice your clinic let you do HPT in advance. Hehehe… I will tell my nurse, she made me swear that I wont cheat. I have the longest 2WW in the world, 17 days!!! I'll make sure she can’t make me any swear next time.

Mia, Congratulation on blasts. Im so pleased you will be on 2WW soon. Sending prayer for those blasts will stick strongly in mommy’s womb.

Raintree n My2LnT. Im sorry. I hope you recover soon. Don't give up faith, your dream will be come true.

Hi everyone else. sending sticky baby dust to those on stim, ET, ER, 2WW n soon will test.

Got to go. Ooohh.... Im so mad today. Sometimes, i think those DRs only wants our money, They don't care at all. Yesterday, My Father got bad reaction on schrimp he ate 3 days ago. After taking medicine from clinic, He was in pre shock condition that if we were late sending him to hospital, i can loose him. He is fine now. Im so thankfull to Jesus, He hears my pray.

Luv, Jemma

Good Morning ladies,

Ohhhhhhhhh wot catching up i had to do - i was on page 173 and this is like 182, phew so many posts since i last looked. I will try and remember everyone, apologies if i dont .... xx

Sassy: Im so pleased that u got ur wee fighter back home - after what u had been thru the yes no stage, i really dont know ho u coped i know i would have cracked! Rest up and take it easy now, u hav a little fighter who wants to hang about to see wot all this fuss is about

Aunty: Sorry to hear ur in pain, im praying hard for u that its ur follies growing and not a cyst as u suspect. Let us know as soon as u can on Tuesday, i will be waiting at the PC for ur message Good Luck xx

Raintree and My2: Words cant express how much i feel for u right now, im so sorry it didnt work for u both this time. I know like many women on this thread, how heart breaking it can be to get BFN, and how u feel things wont get any better - but honestly they do. I have changed so much since my BFN, im a different person since my treatment, and i know im a better person for it. You will never forget, but u will move on - remember we are here for u both. Please take the time out that u need and u will come back with more determination xx

JS: Im so sorry about ur EC, that must have been devastating for you! Has the Dr's explained why this happened, have they given u any other alternatives? You must be devastated hun - for that im sending u big hugs xx

Ems: How is the 2ww going hun - i hope ur PMA has upped a bit since ur last posting. There are many women who get BFP's with low grading embies, but in my eyes - all embies are viable embies and will have the chance to grow into beautiful babies if given the right surroundings - which urs have been given - home with their mummy Stay strong and keep up ur PMA OK! xx

Vickie: Not long ow for ur testing date - i cant bloody wait to see ur BFP hun im so excited, and knowing that we cycled together the last time, and knowing that this time will work for u - makes me feel it will work for me too

PMA: i'd like to kick that DR in the B*****ks - wot a prat - no bloody tact! Typical man, there were prob £ signs flashing in his eyes like they do in those cartoons ffs - silly T**t. Glad it all turned out ok tho, i would have stuck my 2 fingers right up at him and said 'stick that in ur pipe and smoke it' lol - im so glad things are going well for u - anymore singing in the shower hehehe - u go girl .... xx

Fed: Ooooooooo lots of wee lovely embies in waiting for mummy Glad it all went ok - i bet u cant wait to get them back home. When do u test? x

Silva: Sorry to hear about ur infection - theres nothing worse is there! Im sure ur prayers have been heaed - and I hope it clears up soon and u can go on to enjoy the rest of ur 2ww, and then the next 8 mths or so x

Cook: That video sounds great - i think i might need summit like that lol. Glad to hear ur babies are back where nature intended them to be, hope they like the chicken noodle soup as im sure they will love ur cooking

Rachel: What happened to ur right eye and cheek? Doesnt sound too clever lol, i hope u find summit to ease it off .... xx Oh and can i ask u summit - why is ur user name Lara and ur real name Rachel? Am i missing summit lol. An b4 u ask its pretty bvious why mine is welshgirl lol - its cos im welsh init mun ! cwtches lol xx

Jamma: i wouldnt worry about making the mistake, i make em all the bloody time lol - im always getting someones name wrong or someones dates - im sure its cos im getting old and frail u know lol.

Shantala: How about u hun, hows things ur end of the country? All going well i hope. When do u find out about when u can start - oh i do hope its sooner rather than later

Well ladies, as for me, no news here! Im trying to exercise as much as possible, i bought a step counter yesterday to count ow any steps i take (sort of from the car to the shops, then back home again lol) and i also bought a treadmill (haha) DH says its a 5min thing with me and i wont use it - well im gonna prove him wrong! I am going to use it, i have the portable telly in the dining room where ive set up the treadmill, and im gonna walk to emerdale and eastenders lol - it will be like walking from yorkshire to london haha!
Anyway, its like a mad house here today - my MIL & FIL have gone on holiday, so me, being as gulable as ever offered to have their wee puppy for them - wrong move! I already have a 2yr old springer who's wild - and now i have a 7mth old springer who's even wilder - happy bloody days lol. AND .... im in the middle of cooking a sunday roast and ive just burnet my hand on the stove while checking the meat - i swore rather loudly in hope that DH would come rushing in to check i am OK - and all i heard from him (sat in the living room reading a sunday paper with a cup of tea) was Whats wrong now!

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ......... (MEN!)

Right thats my moan over with - i love him really lol .... catch u soon ladies, baby dust and fairy sprinkles/kisses and hugs to everyone

Your GM - Becky Xxx

[js200632]

..the explanation the doctor gave me was that the capsule was thick which in pco cases is...and so the needle couldn't penetrate. every time he tried the ovaries would sink down due to their weight....even i had never thought or heard of anything like this before...i just thought ivf was the last hope for everyone...in my case.....seems like its not...anyway he performed insemination coz i had lots of eggs....he called me the next day too...and tht day too i had a 26 mm egg so he performed insemination again....now i am trying to do some research on doctors to find out if theres anything other than ovarian drilling that can be done in my case to proceed with ivf...so i am trying to find a doctor in newyork....who knows what went wrong..i am sure something can be done..offcourse...may be a needle specially designed for me...

[charlie78]

Good afternoon ladies!

Sophie your doctor is tactless - they really don't have a clue sometimes. I'm so glad your follies are still growing - you make sure you take it easy and good luck with your scan tomorrow! LOL

Sassy - bless yor DH, I hope mine fusses as much! You have a great attitude - what will be, will be and everything happens for a reason. Wishing you a speedy 2ww and a BFP!!!!!!!!!!!

Beachbaby - thanks for your re-assurance about the number of days stimming - I must be more patient!

SC - sorry about the bladder infection - hope you feel better soon- it will all be worth it when you get your BFP!

Denise - so glad your ET went well - I will definately have to watch that video now! Wishing you a speedy 2ww and a BFP.

Aunty - you make me laugh - I'm so glad you are here to tell it like it is! Good luck Tuesday with your scan - I hope there are lots of follies growing in there! LOL.

Jemma - you can give my DR a kick up the ass if you'd like! They really do think they are God. But lets face it, with the power thaey have to give us our babies - they are. He is just so matter od fact - we are just another money paying statistic for them!

JS - hoping you get your BFP through insemination and that you get some answers.

Becky - keep up that treadmill girl! I have postponed buying one - figuring that if i get my BFP i have an excuse to be fat!

Shantala - thanks for your well wishes - keeping everything crossed for you to start asap! LOL!

Good luck to everyone stimming / waiting for EC / ET and on 2ww.

LOL

[AuntyPebbles]

Hi Lady's just aquickie....LOL,...do you feel used...

Macca sweetie i missed your post about transfer im so sorry forgive me when was it?....how mnay did you have back home?...whens your test

awww i feel bad for missing it...hugs Aunty

[CINNY1]

lara312- What are Hrt tablets? Also, what is the usual stimming time? I'm just curious b/c the doc didn't order a lot of that med.

[PMApsy]

Good morning ladies!

I'll have to be quick, but given your wonderful replies to my post I didn't want to stay away from the board too long. So I thought I'd pop in here just after breakfast and write a line or two before I officially start my day (groceries, laundry, cleaning, baby shower... phew! And yay, sushi at the end of the day!)

You guys really cheered me up! Don't worry, my PMA survived yesterday's apt and I'm in a very good mood! I had a relaxing day yesterday and feel full of energy!

sassy: it's so nice to imagine you taking it easy with your little one snuggling inside you! I'm so happy that you made it to ET! And it's great you have the weekend to relax, too...

beachbaby: hehehehe your cat is line mine! Whenever you're working with something, they just must walk, sit, rub, lie down on it/in front of it! My cat developed a fascination with the forum a couple of days ago, and insisted on reading eeeeverything I wrote with her nose one inch from the screen! Thanks for your support about my doc. You're right; he said I would probably trigger in two or three days, which is Monday or Tuesday.

jackie: Thanks for your support! I hope I won't have to wait until the next month, though, as this is a fresh cycle for me, not an FET...

SilvaCharm: bugger indeed! I'm sorry that it hurts so much! I hope the antibiotics work real fast! *hugs*

Cinny: LOL on the money tree! I tell you, it's the experience. After you've seen thousands of couples paying for IVF, it's not as impressive as the first 100...

cookholmes: WOOHOO on the successful transfer and yay! on the lack of pain! I'm happy that it went well, and flattered that you're dreaming about us, tee hee hee! You made the video sound really worth it; I'll try to find the time...

Aunty! LOL your enthusiasm was just dripping from my computer screen! Hehehe thanks for replying! Let me reply to your points. After reading your post, I asked my DH about what the doc had said exactly... if the cysts were a problem because they absorbed the meds more or because they took up too much place. He was not sure, like me, but was strongly inclined towards the first option (absorbing the meds). I think both hypotheses are valid. I tend to have the kind of cysts that will appear along with follicle growth and then disappear after ovulation in my natural cycles. I think that kind of cyst is basically some kind of follicle that just swells with sterile liquid. So it would make sense that the meds makes them grow; it's exactly what's happening here. So I would see how cysts could benefit from the meds at the detriment of the eggs. But fortunately, it does not seem the case here, not to the extent that my eggs can't grow enough.

About the dosage, well... you're right. It looks like I didn't get enough at the beginning. But this is my first cycle and given that I'm 28, they didn't want to boost me too hard at first to avoid OHSS. As you noticed, they were pretty quick at readjusting. 300 seems to be the magic number for me. So I can't say that I'm mad at them for the dosage adjustments....

However, you're right... with all the replies I got here, my doc deserves a slap on the nose, a couple of kicks in the rear and quite a couple of kicks in the nuts! LOL It's funny because my acupuncturist was telling me on Friday, "The one thing you want to avoid is making a pregnant woman worry." I find that it's the most frustrating part, that he threw the worst case scenario right in my face without doing the scan first and see how things were. Ah, well. What can one do, eh? As long as they give me my babies, a couple of rough bedside manners isn't the end of the world.

Thanks for your reply sweetie; I read it just before I went to bed and it made me smile. And thanks for sharing your story with the meds; it really reassured me that I got the right dosage. Funny how they would put so much extra units when they're so expensive!

jemima: whoops, you missed my last post to you? IBS is Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Thanks for your support sweetie, even if it was aimed at Aunty, LOL! I'm sorry your dad gave you such a scare! Thank Gods he's okay!

lara: thanks for your support!

Shantala: my sweet! Thanks for your reply! It cheered me up! Hehehe after working in hospitals for a couple of years, I've really seen a strong tendency among doctors... the more specialized they are, the more they think they own the God status. And others around them suffer the consequences! Believe me, I speak from experience! Thanks for keeping everything crossed (other than your fingers and your toes, I wonder what else... your eyes, perhaps... please don't drive hunny!) and I'm sure my eggies heard your cheering! *HUGS*

Welsh: Hehehehe your enthusiasm made me smile! It's hard, isn't it, not to imagine that they look at you and see big piles of money... A colleague made me the comment that they probably have a certain agreement, tacit or not, with pharmaceutical companies so they prescribe us a little more meds than we really need... given the way they so liberally doubled, then upped my meds again by 50%, it seems sooo plausible! LOL about singing in the shower! You know, I had stopped that for a while... I had to go to the clinic early quite a couple of times and I guess I was too much in a hurry... mmmh, I'm about to head for my shower in a couple of minutes, I'll think of you and sing a couple of songs! Have fun with your treadmill, and you made me laugh with the stove story! ah, men! Was the roast good at least?

js: I really wish you can find a clinic that will understand your case better and maybe offer alternatives... keep us posted! *hugs*

charlie: thanks for the reply! I'm looking forward to tomorrow's scan! Good luck for your EC tomorrow!

Okay, phew! Gotta run! Take care ladies, and I'll see you around!

Sophie

[charlie78]

I must get round to changing my ticker It's not EC tomorrow - more likely to be wednesday, but maybe even Friday depending on scan tomorrow and when I trigger!

LOL Charlie x

[AuntyPebbles]

Charlie i just figured out what your doing...your waiting for me ...that is so sweet ...i think my EC should be around 4th ...LOL
im only kidding im sure tomorrow you will get the go ahead for your trigger ok PMA...sending mental message to your ovies ...."ok now future mommy has had enough it's time to come out now".....there you go that should do it

PMA yeah io agree maybe there are cysts that can absorb meds??...never heard of it myself but who knows...
Thing is he should never have told you that without knowing for sure...
Now after he scanned you and saw how you had reacted to the meds this made his point mute, Obviously you dont have that type of cyst or you wouldnt have had that kind of response so he's still a bugger....i also always get cysts during my stimm faze but according to my Dr its a side effect of Lupron not Gonal ...but like you say he can be a pig as long as you get your baby belly we don't care...just peed me off a little that he would upset you like that ....not sure if it came across...LOL

lots of love hugs Aunty

[AuntyPebbles]

Jemima my sweet friend you never have to say sorry its no problem your comments where good either way like you say we still hate my Dr from last time so i wouldnt mind Kicking him in the nuts too...ooo after i get my baby's back of course , I have missed you please knwo youe aklways in my prayers i think about you a lot and pray very soon you get your baby belly....big hugs

Becky ya nut case....its always good to read you...your appointments only a week away now ish isnt it...i cant wait to hear what they have to say...hugs

Shantala...two more days they had better say yep your good to go...want me to come with you?....really with my hormones latley i will sit and cry until they say yes...
