Hi Ladies,

hope you are all keeping warm and snug. Getting pretty chilly out here innit?! returned from UK a month ago and I am widing back down to life in OZ...

Ems! saw your bubs on photobucket, they are very handsome little bubs 8). Glad they are home with you now, I am sure they are doing very well too. There is no apologies needed for bad typing BTW - look at me! Typos galore!!! Let us know how you and your hubby get on when you can.

Ange, I am sorry about your news. I hope you will get a good explanation from your doc..... :? BTW, how exciting you are hopping over to Japan in Aug! You will love it there! Hopefully when you are over there they will have summer sales on. Tokyo is the place for shopping! Yea, make sure you get Japan Rail pass to check out country Japan. If you have time I recommend Miyajima Island and Peace Memorial Park, both in Hiroshima. If you want to know anything more about Japan just send me a pm, ok? Good luck with everything.

Kery, they say life was never meant to be easy ay, how true. Hold onto that positive thoughts honey. I am with Ems, good on you for not giving up, we still have choices and I am sure you and your hubby will come to a decision that is right for both of you.

Jomae, I hope your little lad is now all better. Poor little thing! Please give him a huge hug from moi.

I am due to go back on tmt from my next AF due next week :) . My hubby and I are super excited. I am on down reg protocol but I will be on Lupron injectables instead of synarel. Synarel did bugger all for me last time so hopefully I will down reg ok this time around.

Take care everyone, chat again very soon.

Cheers, Tiger x

Hi Tiger

Just being nosey. What is Lucrin? Is it like syneral? I'm not sure how much you will get back. I seems like such a long process to get anything back from medicare, my poor credit card is screaming out for it!! I only got back some money for my first cycle a few weeks ago.

I saw my doctor today. We are going to start another cycle with a donor soon. Not sure when it depends on how many donors are on the books at the moment.

Tiger!

Welcome home!! I am soooo pleased to hear that you are finally back on track and have started. I hope that this new begining will bring another new begining.

Kery - Great that you are jumping straight back in there. I think about all the tears and heartbreak with each BFN (IUI's) but when I look at my boys, it was so worth it and I would do it all again to have them. Keep positive.

Hi Jomae - great to hear from you.

Have to go.....

Hi Em

Hows those little boys of yours going?

We decided that maybe it was time to change clinics. Our clinic rang to say that they now have no donors on the books. Also the fact that we would have to do another ivf cycle seemed strange when I have no fertility issues. Anyway I made some calls and I found another clinic that has donors available. It means a bit more travel but they said I can do DIUI's and hopefully not have to do an ivf cycle.

Anyway that's about it for me. Hope everyone is do ok.

Hiya chickies! Hope you're all having a relaxing Friday evening,

Kery, yea Lucrin, I need to read up on it a bit more to say what it is - but it basically does what synarel should have done for me??? shuts down ovaries I guess.... Good luck with the new clinic BTW, I think it is a very good idea to try new docs etc - why not. missmolly changed her clinic and she got BFP the first time round :D .

Em, hope everything is going well for you, your hubby and your little lads, 29 days old! 1 month in no time... :!: :!: :!:

Day 5 for me so I start taking BCP tonight.

Keep warm ladies.

Cheers, Tiger

Hi everyone!

Sorry I have not posted in ages, but don't have a working computer at home anymore so it makes posting hard.

Welcome home Tiger!!!!! So glad your cycle is on its way. Hopefully the change in medication will make all the difference.

I am nearly 30 weeks now. I can't believe it!!!! Things seem to be going well. The bub is breech at the moment, but Doc tells me she very well may turn. SHe is kicking and rolling around a lot - such a lovely feeling. I finish work in 2 1/2 weeks time - can't wait!!! I am starting to get really tired again.

I hope everyone is well. I hope to be able to post a little more often.
Take care

Hi Everyone,

I am so sorry I have not posted. I am just a lazy bum.
Thanks all for your support - really - you mean so so much to me. Each one of you. Thank you. Well, yes I started jabbing lucrin last Saturday.... my dad prepares it for me and I just do it myself. Not too bad. I do it every evening at 10pm - just before going to bed..... Bad thing about having to do it in the evening - is all day from the minute I get up I have that to look forward to.... it sucks!!! Here is my lucrin dairy so far:-
1st 24hrs: Woke up with littl ebit of headache...
2nd 24: nausea all morning, not too bad in arvo. Little headache.
3rd 24: nausea, BAD IGRANE!!
4th 24 onwards : side effects under control!! before I go to bed I now have very dark camomile tea with grated ginger with honey thing - this has helped me with nausea. As for headahce - WHATEVER - I just live with it and deal with it. Sometimes it forces me to take one or two panadols but that's not too bad is it .

Ohhh I have to go. Still at work at they are calling me - ahhh!!

Catch ya later guys.

Love you all!! Cheers, Tiger

PS MissMolly - WOW 30 weeks time flys so fast. You will have a little princess? Have you got a name for her yet?

Hi Tiger
Gee I hope the side effects slow down for you. Sounds like the tea is helping a bit. Isn't it funny how everyone reacts different to the meds.

Miss Molly - 30 weeks you are nearly there!!! Well done.

Love to everyone
