Jomae honey,
I am so sorry about your follie count.... but it is a good thing that your doc is going ahead with your egg pick up. You know how it is, we only need that ONE to give us BFP :). Good luck for Friday I have everything crossed for you. Btw I am not sure of the difference b/w fallo-whatisit beta and alpha - I didn't even know they existed.... I hope someone will shed a light on your question. It will surely help other people as well.

Well my hubby is good (of course!), and we have just returned home from my in-law commitments, hence no access to this site - sorry (2 nights out of 7 is not too bad I guess :wink: ). Oh also I started AF on Sunday. So on Day 36 I got it back. Kery, as you said - it really does suck waiting for AF to return.

Take care chickies, tad cold here but not too bad. Lot better than 40plus celcius temp we had in Melb couple of weeks ago!!

Cheers, Tiger xx

Glad you are having a good time with dh and that the lovely af turned up. One minute we don't want her to turn up then the next minute we do! Are you going to do another cycle?

Jomae
Did you go with a different clinic this time? I've got everything crossed for tomorow!!!!

Yep all settled in now and ds starts back at school on Monday.

Hi Girls
sorry been in hospital couldn't post had er on friday collected 5 went back into hospital friday night with major pain doc said i have blood in my stomach causing the pain had not good at all the drugs they gave me to settle it was good though but get this while in hospital they did an ultrasound so see how much fluid is there they found a polypin my cervix now you think an ivf specialist would have seen that wouldn't you (any info on polyps you know would be good) anyway my treating doc says it's highly unlikely to get pregnant with a polyp in my cervix so i think i've wasted my time and money oh only onbe of the five eggs were any good when i rang this am ii asked the quality of the embrio that they fertilized he said it's a 1 cell doesn't ?? doesn't that mean it hasn't divided or fertilized for that matter . Kery i did go back to the same clinic mind you it will be the last how can he miss a polyp and a big one at that sorry for the rant it just does not make sense. and to top of the night they put me in the maternity ward for the night did they want to remind me of something.

Anyway how are you both

OH MY GOD JOMAE
What was your clinic thinking!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Why didn't they pick that up!! FAR OUT!!
I guess that is what you are thinking too. What did they say when you asked them if that means a fertilized egg or not? ( sorry I don't know much about cell grades). You really do wonder if these clinics have any idea sometimes. The amount of money and emotional stress that you go through doing this ivf stuff it's really the last thing that you want to hear. Then to put you into a maternity ward! They really don't get it! I remember when I was in hospital having ds there was a lady in the next room who had a still born child. What a crue thing to do to someone.

How are you feeling now? Make sure you take it easy
Hugs to you xxxx

Hi Kery
I'm better the pain is passing so i'm not so sore anymore I still don't know whats happening i should be having my ET tommorrow if the embie has improved i tryed to ring the clinic this am but its closed i then tryed to ring the hospital where the ET is being done to see if there is an appointment for me but they are also closed so who knows i'll have to try calling first thing in the morning to see if i am coming in or not or if its all over. there is no way i am going back to him unless i have to. As far as i know the doc at my local hospital told me that i would not get pregnant if i had a polyp so i don't know if the transfer can even happen and then theres the issue of do i bother freezing this one if it can't be put back yet i guess i don't need to worry about that yet it may not have made it and your right it's a lot of money and i shouldn't have to be worried about him doing his job properly. I'll let you know how things go.

So how are things for you anyway anything new happening for you

Hi Tiger hows things

yea well I guess it's all just a waiting game. I hope your little embie makes it so you can either have your ET or freeze it. I really do feel for you, it's all such a stressful time doing the waiting thing.

I'm not up to much. My ds starts back at school tommorow so I'm also starting back at work. We may try another iui cycle at the end of the month. I think it may be the last one we do as we can't keep on pumping money into failed cycles!

hi kery
Man a whole lot of stress for nothing i went in for my et today and insisted the doc do a scan to look for this polyp before the transfer happened. He found nothing except to say that the sonographer was looking at my ceasar scar and not a polyp on another good the one embie i did manage to make was an 8 cell and graded as a 3 which is the best grading you can get so i'm officially on the 2ww and PUPO

Thanks for listening to me winge previously it good to have you here

take CAre Jomae

Well girl it sounds pretty good to me!! Here's hoping a! Yep it's great to talk to someone who understands what it's really like going through all of this. My dh is great and supportive but deep down I don't think he really understands the pressure and emotions that go's with ivf. I guess that just men!!

Ds seemed to think today went ok. He has ADHD and is not very interested in school and school work. I tell ya if I have another child with that disorder I will bloody scream!! I know it sounds bad and I should be more grateful that I do have a child (especially when many women here don't have even I one child). He is a great kid but he has been very demanding. He is eleven this year so he is slowly getting better but it's been a long eleven years!!

What is your testing date?

Hi there girls,
Sorry it's been so long between posts. There's obviously a lot of news that I haven't kept up with.

Was just reading some of your posts Jomae, sounds like you've been to hell and back over the past weeks or so. Glad to hear you have a nice healthy embie setting up home right now. Can't believe how incompetent your clinic sounds, hopefully you'll get the outcome you are waiting for. Same thing happened to me on last IVF cycle- Doc was too conservative with drugs due to polycystic ovaries and so only had 3 eggs showing on final scan, so we pushed to change to IUI rather than go through EC, although that cycle didn't work but we felt our odds were better that way. I have my fingers crossed for you!

Tiger, so sorry to hear your news, but glad to hear you are spending some quality time with DH with plans to be in Oz together very soon.

Hi Kery, can understand your predicament around working out when to call it a day versus giving it one more try. Hope you come to a decision that you will feel comfortable with.

As for me, I do have some good news to share. Our last IUI cycle back in September was positive and we are due in late May. Sorry for not sharing the news earlier but was very low key and didn't really tell anyone until after 12week scan (then we went overseas for nearly 2 months) and have been back in Oz for about month with lots of things going on, so i apologize for the delay.

Have been getting a lot of kicks, so this one will be a feisty little one. Everything's been going well so far but it still feels a little unreal when you go from being in the midst of trying to get pregnant for so many years then have it happen. I still have to pinch myself now and then to remind myself it really is happening to me.

Just wanted to share some positive baby news with you guys and thank you for all your support over the past couple of years. It's so special to have a place to turn to when you are going through this rollercoaster ride- for support, advice and an understanding ear.

Take care everyone and I hope this email finds everyone well.
