Hiya,

Dex did it! Wow, I have been away from here for a while - I am so sick of this biz on my own without my hubby with me. I have my pick up tomorrow, my scan showed 20 follicles last Friday. I am soooo tired and I have no idea how I am doing this on my own.... if this cycle is not good I will wait until I have my hubby with me. I am not doing this on my own again - it 's just too hard..... He should arrive early next year - and when he arrives we are moving to Sydney as well. So if this cycle doesn't work I will change clinic to IVF Australia I think.

Sorry this is a vent post but it has been soooo hard.

Take care all and well done to Dexter again :).

Cheers,

xxx

Hey there ladies,

Tiger, I've been looking at the web site irregularly of late as well, but have been popping in to see what's been happening with you. 20 follies!!!! That's amazing!!!..I have everything crossed for you..please let us know how the egg pick up goes. We're doing well. Ellie is now 15 months, she is walking and chattering (sort of), and Annie is three. She starts kindy two days a week next year and I'm back at work one day a week. My mental health is getting lots better (thank goodness). I can't wait to hear your good news!!

20 follies!! gee girl no wonder you feel tired your body is in over drive!!
I know how you feel, my dh was away for most of our cycles and it feels like your doin it on your own sometimes. You are nearly there so keep your head up and stay focused on what you may get in the end. I know it's hard but the end is nearly there!!

Thanks Di,

Started spotting today - I hope it will stop...... :roll: . I guess if it turns full on Af then that's all over for me. I am still hoping though...

Just trying to manage with the cards that I was dealt it for this life....

Love, Tiger xxx

((HUGS)) to you Tiger - I hope things settle down for you. Can be such a crappy ride - this IVF rollercoaster.

Do you have support at home?

Hi Girls,

well full blown AF has appeared again so game over for me. It sucks, sucks and sucks!!!

Di, yes I have wonderful support system around me and many many people I can turn to if I need that extra cuddle. However, this IVF and last attempt has been particularly difficult because mu hubby is not with me. He is still over in England working and he cannot get away from it. But that's ok because in the end it was my own decision to come home on my own to concentrate on IVF second half of this year. And I know he suffers same as I do - and maybe more because he is not here with me....

I am not sure what I will do next; but one thing for sure is that I am not going through with it on my own ever again.

Love, Tiger xxx
