MARCH-CYCLE BUDDIES

thanks everyone- so many emotions right now, me and DH both, we talked all night long. everything from- can't wait until we can try again to are we sure we want to try again? we are both selfish people and have both expressed interest to travel and with DS at 14 yo- and me only 26 and dh only 33, it won't be long until DS is out and we'll be young enough to do everything we want. we were planning on going to alaska on our 5 year anniversary on a cruise (our Honeymoon was the first cruise either of us had been on) and I had been saving for alaska in our firesafe- and I gave all that money to IVF and I won $500 on limbo 41414.com last year and we wanted to take a weekend to go to the grand ole opry and I had saved that money too and gave that to IVF too... we both made sacrifices for this and nothing to show for it right now but 3 FE that "might" work.

I know I was always supposed to be a mom- and forever I thought that meant having a bio baby- but what if I was just meant to be a SM to DH's DS? (we have full custody and we've talked about me doing the paperwork to adopt him- DS ' bio mom has no rights- long story, so in legal he has no mom, not hard for paperwork because nothing to contest- I've been his mom for 4 years)

but I can't have the knowledge int he back of my head that there are 3 embies frozen waiting for us and just the whatif game.... ugh! I know we need to go through it and at least use up what we have.

thanks for all the thoughts and well wishes!

shantala- maybe we can be cycle buddies again and get our BFPs together next time!!!

Kandice: I am sooo sorry to hear your news. Please know that you are in my thoughts. Whatever decision you and dh decided to make will be the right one! XOXO

hi, this is just a quickie as at work...

Kandice completely understand where you are coming from, me and DH have really nice lives at the moment, get to travel abit as we both work for an airline and I'm like well if its not meant to be then so be it and we will fill our lives up with travelling and doing things that we would want to do however on the other side of the coin, I can only do that when I know I have exhausted every possibililty of trying to have a baby and that way I know that I won't have regrets. I can only say this personally, but if I had 3 FETs I would def go for it and see the outcome.... but know each of us are different.

Yarnista - don't give up until the fat lady sings - there is every possibility that you are still pg so don't give up hoping just yet - again there have been many stories on here where this has happened and a BFP has come around the corner..... PMA girl !!

Mama - I thought I invited you to be one of my friends - it will be under the name of Jackie - perhaps it didn't work, shall try again tonight.... Stephanie the same applies!!

Whey you've finally sorted out your smilies!! I'll update the list later as its on my home pc not at work. Hope the scan went well for you this morning.

I can imagine your disappointment but they will only take you in when you're good and ready and perhaps they are checking you on a daily basis to make sure they get it right - even now, there is a still chance I might not go in on Monday - I'm just waiting on b/w results to confirm. Frustrating I know, but it sounds like they may waiting for embies to grow a bit before EC to give you the best chance.

Grow follies grow!!

Sha - oohh hope we are both triggering tomorrow - any news from your side yet?

Well the pipes are cleaned - and sorry there was no way he was coming near me !!:o my follies are getting so large that I'm very tender down there....

quick update on me - had last scan this morning - still only 5 viable follies that are over 16mm, have 2 that need a little more growth and hopefully will run to the finish line over the weekend - waiting on b/w to make sure E levels are ok and confirmation on trigger shot tomorrow - so all systems go......yyyyyeaaaahhhh!!

Hope everyone elses scan went well this morning, catch up later

mrs b- wow! great numbers! lol- at new shoes- already thought about that- well not new shoes- dh is working this weekend- he does 12 hour nights and DS is going up to his g-mas in the mtns for the weekend so I'm all alone- I thought I would go and see how much a massage and a new haircut and color would be... I still have "mad money" left over from my part of our tax return.... very tempting!

Kandice-I am so excited to hear you are going to give the icicles a try. As for Alaska...wow, my dad is very sick and on dialsysis 3 times a week and Sept 05 my parents really wanted to take one last trip before my dad got to bad to travel and they found a cruise to Alaska that had 25 dialsysis patients spots. We were gone for 8 days and it was beautiful...keep that dream and you can take the DS and baby!

Hello ladies! WOW this thread is BUSY!!

I apologize in advance that I don't have time to sort out personals today but with first beta being on Sunday I'm feeling a little bit preoccupied and anxious

But I did want to say (((Kandice))) So sorry to hear your news. But you WERE pregnant, your body wasn't lying to you. Just know that in your heart and if it happens once it can and WILL happen again. Thinking of you sweetie.

Yarnista Please don't give up. There have been so many stories of ladies on here who had spotting that went on to have healthy pregnancies. I pray you are one of those stories...PMA!!

Anna- Only three more sleeps!!!

Well I promise that I will be better next week about checking in on you girls!!! Thank you all so much for your support over this 2ww. You have all brought smiles to my face every day and I don't think I could have survived without you!!!

I will check in this weekend when we get the news. Keep everything crossed for me girls!!

XO
Steph

HELP!!!

I have like a twinge on my side, like i normally do when ovualtion is coming!!!! I am so confused!!
As i had the AF on thurs 15th and now is technically day 9, which is when i always did feel the twinge in my ovarys, this whole IVF cycle is so confusing!!! If i have been down regging, does that stop my natural cycle coming thro, Im worried now!!! I dont know what the heck is happening in my body and normally i do!!

what do synerol do exactly???

Yikes!!!

MISSPIGGY · Post by **MISSPIGGY** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 7:40 pm

I am ok, I think the accpuncture has helped but I will very sore after ther er.Holly

melly · Post by **melly** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 7:47 pm

Hey ladies I'm just curious, what is the cost of an IVF cycle in the UK? I'm currently paying appox. 9900.00 us dollars

nimble · Post by **nimble** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 8:12 pm

Nicky - down regging should surpress your normal cycle and therefore stop you ovulating - it may be just your ovaries reacting to the drugs and may be a good sign that it is all working. The reason I say this, is that last week I had my normal signs of ovulation (sorry tmi coming...sticky mucas

) and when I mentioned it at my clinic they said a good sign, however I was on stims by that point. I suggest if you are really worried ring the clinic, god we pay them enough for this treatment. I'm sure they will ease your worries.

Other than this, are you doing ok hun??

Melly - our costs range I think judging by the clinic you go to - for example my costs are coming in around £5000 inc drugs and ISCI. Without drugs the actual costs are around £3500-4000 however I know that some clinics are cheaper, some are more!!
