Dear May Flowers

I am new to the message board having only introduced myself the other day.

I went for my final scan today and EC is set for this Wedneday. Excited and terrified all at the same time.

Wishing all the luck to everyone else who is cycling in May.

Thank you all for your replies, I know it only takes one so I'm really hoping it turns out to be a good quality one.

Spoke to the hospital this afternoon and told them what has happened, they said I may have just had an off month but it may be my body saying time has run out and we will need to wait and see what tomorrow brings.

I'm so trying to stay postive but I'm just so upset. If they say this is the end of the road they will book me in for a hysterectomy because they won't want to do anymore surgery if my eggs are no good.

Sorry for going off on one I'm probably over dramatising everything and tomorrow will turn out fine.

I'll have to speak to DH tonight, I feel as though I've robbed him of his chance of ever having children as I kept putting off starting a family my career was so important to me. We started down thr road of trying for a baby when I was 34 and although I have fibroids my Consultant said they was no problem and just keep trying trying, so I did over the next couple of years and my GP said keep trying. I went back and asked to see the Consultant again when I was 37 and he told there was no way I could get pregnant as I had so many big fibroids and he wanted me to have a hystorectomy but after a scan said i should have a myomectomy and following that he told me my only chance was IVF due to the fibroid they had to leave behind and 18 months later I'm now 39 having been on so many drugs to shrink the fibroid having cycle after cycle cancelled because of these drugs abd needing more operations probably because of them as well and this will be my first frsh cycle. Can't life be a b***h sometimes.

SOrry carried on ranting. I'll let you all know how things go.

Take care everyone.

Love,

Jane

Jane

Rant away as much as you need, and please don't apologise. I will keep everything crossed that things turn out ok and your little embie puts up a strong fight and you get the go ahead to continue.

You've been through so much I quite understand your frustration.

PMA and loads of hugs. Stay strong.

Dear Susie
Thanks for your note about your daughter. I wanted to post on here to find success stories from just one embie and yours is a gem. Just a little bit more reassurance for us ladies who just have the one.
Jane, your story is sad and I do hope everything works out for you - take care. Thats what we're here for to have a rant at!
Clare welcome aboard - good luck with ec.
Nicola, fingers crossed for Wednesday!!
Little P glad to hear you're sniffing! Hope you had a lovely weekend.

hello everyone

Not posted for a while and will need to do a lot of catching up, as seems I have missed lots.
I am on day 7 of oestrogen tablets for my first fet. I am feeling pretty rubbish at the moment and quite low. def need cheering up. Can anyone help, Is it quite normal to feel rubbish on these tablets as it is my first time at fet. Any help or reassurance would be appreciated. I have been on bureselin since the 13th april and don't know if is the combination of the two.

Sandra
How are you doing where are you up to? Hope you are ok.

Thinking of you all. Speak soon

lots of love christine xx

You sound so positive, it's good to hear I hope that you are feeling that way too.

Fingers crossed and loads of PMA and hugs

Hiya Christine ... Sorry you're down in the dumps today. I've been taking those hrt tablets too, along with the Buserelin. As you know, it was my first FET too so I didn't know what to expect either. I can't say I've felt any lower than usual. I have had headaches though this time, from the Buserelin, which I haven't had previously. I did find though, that as the daily hospital visits - bloods/scans - weren't needed, I kind of felt out of it. Almost as though I wasn't involved. Although I shouldn't really be complaining - a 70 mile round trip at 6.30 am is no fun. You've got around another 2 weeks before ET ? Maybe when you can see the end drawing nearer you'll start to feel a bit better... and of course, you've got the lovely pessaries to look forward to !

So, I'm on 2ww at the moment - test Fri 20th. The only thing I feel is AF feeling keeps coming and going, and the odd sharp pain in womb /ovaries / boobs. Apart from that, no symptoms.

I hope you feel more like your old self soon ... Just tick each day off, as one day closer to your dream !!

Hi sandra

Thanks for your reply. It was great to hear from you. You have cheered me up.You are right about seeing light at the end of the tunnel. It does feel like forever away at the minute but need to keep focused. When could you stop the bureselin?

I will keep everything crossed for you on friday. Not long to go now. Sending lots of positive vibes.

Take care
lots of love christine xx

Thanks Christine ... The Buserelin stopped just 3 days before ET, the same day the pessaries started !! Lose one, gain another !!

Clare - hope your EC goes well today, do let us know how many eggies you get

Jane - I feel for you. I let my career take priority too, and by the time we started ttc I thought dh vasectomy reversal would be the big hurdle, but no, I had early menopause

I've given up saying what if, it doesn't help you just have to move forward and say, this is how it was meant to be. I could have had kids with hubby nr 1 when I was 25, but I left him as he didn't support my career, and wanted me to be a "surrey house wife" . But now I am so glad I don't have his children as my dh is the love of my life, and worth waiting for and all we are going through. I have fibroids to, intramural (non operable), the big one is behaving itself so far, will just have to wait and see, I can't control it so life will decide how things will go. Counselling would help you sweetie, you can't live with that guilt. believe me I know, and I've been in therapy for 2 years and it has helped enourmously.

I hope that helps you a little bit

Love bigJ
