Thanks Alison B for including me. I'm getting worried about Saturday, this is our second attempt and I've already said our last. It's not fair on our 11 year old.
My historys similar to yours, got pregnant with Dan in 1993 naturally after a year of trying, then after an ectopic in 96 (after a year of trying), It took another 6 years before I took the courage to find out why I wasn't getting pregnant and it turned out I only ever had one tube which was now blocked from the ectopic. Tried IVF Aug 03 but negative, would have tried again sooner than now but I had a a big bereavement and felt I couldn't go through the hormones!
Anyway it's all set for this Saturday.
I used this site last time and found it helped.
Good luck to everyone whatever stage you are on.
january buddies??
hello everyone!
wow, i missed heaps due to the festive season as well as having family visit from interstate - i hope everyone had a good break!
alisonb, i have started taking the pill now, its been such a long time since i've taken it, it seems weird to be taking it to get pregnant - i tried for so long not to get pregnant now that we're trying it seems so ironic!
i see the ivf nurse on the 18th which is when i start sniffing i think... i just want it to all happen NOW - im becoming impatient for some reason!
omg, goodluck with your scan tomorrow, i'm sending you positive vibes!
hope everything is going to plan for all you girls...
chat soon,

Hi all,
Was hoping to catch up on where everyone is at today but we're headed away for the weekend pretty soon (nothing fun; DH has to work and I'm only tagging along because I need him for the shots).
Anyway, had my scan today and I am actually downregged. I can't believe it actually worked in 10 days this this time and I actually didn't feel half as bad as I remember feeling the last time around (although I was stuck on it for like 18 days that time!). So, tomorrow I start taking estrogen tablets. I guess that will make things feel like they are moving along.
Guess I'd better get moving. I will be doing a lot of reading on Sunday when I return!
Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi all you JCB's,
Firstly wishing you all lots of luck and hoping for lots of BCPs.
I signed up to be a JCB early Dec i think but now not sure if it will happen this time. I had my down regging (single lasts amonth) injection on 17/12 at the time my lining was 7 mm thick so thought great have an AF on the drugs for 10 days then pop the little frosties back. But at the end of Dec had another scan and my lining had gone upto 13mm thick had another last week and now my uterus is full of fluid and they are talking of more scans and possibly stopping the cycle.
But, PMA is all I need to say next weeks scan everything will be OK and hopefully they won't give me another injection and let me inject myself daily, I don't seem to react in the same way to those drugs and then I can start the other drugs and have the transfer at the end of Jan. I really don't want to stop this cycle If do Ido it will be the third time and I don't know if I could go through it all again. This just seems to happen to me evertime. I feel so down I know the drugs are making it ten times worse, I spent 6 months on this poison and was hell to live with the entire time.
ANyway lets hope next weeks brings some hope.
Love,
Jane

Traci,
Thanks for the good wishes and for keeping an eye on all of us! I know what you mean about needing a break. If this go doesn't work and I have to use all my frosties for it, I think I may be taking a permanent break! We have to pay for everything here and I want to make sure we have enough money left that adoption is still an option.
Anyway, I will be looking out for positive news from you next year!
Jane,
I'm not sure I understand what happened. Do you mean your lining is too thick? What would cause fluid build up in the uterus like that? It sounds like you are taking estrogen by injection? If I recall correctly, you also had a cycle cancelled due to cysts, right (like I did)?
What day is your scan? I will definitely be wishing the best for you. I know how frustrating it is to finally get moving along then have to cancel.
Hello to everyone else.
Just got back from traveling so have to go unpack and try to straighten up my messy house!

Ali,
My break was good...although I have to say that 50% of the time I was just obsessing over this next try so I'm a little relieve to just be getting on with it.
That must have been a shock that your EC will be tomorrow. Good luck!!
Wishing you the best.

Hi everyone, I'm starting ivf work up in Jan/Feb, I've done the iui's with no success and I'm really scared that ivf will let me down too...it's just so hard to keep the faith, ya know? But of course being the "sucker for punishment" that I am, here goes nothing! I pray that all of us someday will hold our little bundle of joy(or joys)
