Hi ladies,

Hope you are all well. I'm scared to ask Anna, but just wondered??? Rachel, all my thoughts are with you. I'm sure all your embies are snuggled up nicely. Went back to work today, and I'm absolutley shattered. Still, it was lovely to catch up with all the kids again.

Anyway, take care and hope to hear good news from Anna and Rachel in a day or so.

Take care. :D

Hi ladies, I really can't believe that this lovely thread is still going. I love seeing it come up and catching up on your news.

Anyway....rejoice :lol: :lol: Af arrived yesterday! It was day 62, a world record! We have an appointment tomorrow and hope to start short cycle meds on Thursday. Fingers crossed that bloods are Ok and there are no cysts around. I am happy, excited, nervous and apprehensive all at the same time :lol:

Rachel I was so sorry to see your news. Hope you are taking good care of yourself and dh. I saw from your thread that you will be trying again. You go girl! You will hold your bundle one day.

Jackie, have you started stimming, how are you?

Dizzie are you Ok?Taking it easy I hope. Thanks for your messages and support over the past few weeks.

Hi Girls, thanks for messages

Dizzie, good luck with scan on Thursday, let us know how you get on.

Jackie, 10 follies, that's great. Hope scan is good news tomorrow. Grow follies grow!!

Anyway I will be starting meds for short cycle on fri 13th! However not without having a cyst drain first! I really couldn't believe what the dr was saying. She found 2 cysts and wanted me to wait for next AF to start tmt. That went down like a led balloon and i'm sorry to say that I completely lost my temper :evil: :evil: Dr looked back at my record , all the cancelled cycles, previous cyst drain etc...changed her mind and organised drain for Fri!! Hurray, pity I had to get mad for something to be sorted though :lol:

Have just calmed down and off to have dinner with my darling partner in crime! He's great, let's me rant and rave then asks me what I want to eat!

Now just have to think of an excuse to be off work on Fri. It is a big day with me interviewing all day.. but that will have to wait!

Bye for now

PS did apologise to dr for my behaviour!!

hi all

Anna great news about AF arriving...hurrah

I can't believe you have another 2 cysts...it's a bit like double deja vu? This time though, the short cycle will be better. Without the horrible down reg. it makes such a differance. Good luck with that on friday. I am away from thurs night until sunday visiting family. will be thinking about you and will catch ya on sunday. :) :) you'll be day 3 stimming by then!

Jackie good news on the follie count may they grow and grow...and each hold a class A egg!!!

Dizzie- can't believe it's your firast scan already (it's probably dragged for you though :wink: ) goood luck with that tomorrow...i am sure everthing is fine...hope there is 2 in there for you! :) :)

rachel i haven't caught up with your result yet...this was at the top of the borad so replied here 1st...fingers crossed big hugs

hi girls

anna, great news that AF has arrived and you're starting on friday. you must be so relieved to finally get the ball rolling. sorry to hear about those evil cysts but once drained there should be no stopping you. jen is right, the short cycle is definitely so much better and it really does produce results.
well done on dealing with your doc as well! i'm a firm believer, when needs be, in taking a firm approach with them. sometimes they just need to be pushed. good luck on friday!

jackie, well done on those follies. sounds like it's all going really well. good luck on friday with your scan.

dizzie, good luck today. can't wait to hear if it's 1 or 2. twins would be fantastic, a true blessing!

jen, how are you? not too long now until your consultants appointment. i guess i'll be joining you over on the pheonixes thread. i was so hoping to avoid it but alas.

yesterday was a bad day for me. i think tuesday i was still in shock so i was numb. yesterday i felt worse and AF also arrived so physically i also felt pretty low. then to top it all off today i find i've no job to go back to. nothing like being kicked when you're down.
i left my real job just before starting this cycle because it was an incredibly stressful and emotionally charged job dealing with teenage victims of abuse who for the most part were not very cooperative so i just couldn't handle everything. didn't have the strength for that and ivf, and having a baby was most definitely my priority. an ex colleague then offered me a job starting january but my doc advised me not to start until after my 2ww. my ex colleague was very understanding (didn't tell her why) but when i ring today to confirm as planned that i'd start on monday she says she's hired someone else!! i really just don't understand how some people operate.
so that's me. i think i definitely qualify to be a pheonix rising from the flames of failed ivf and job. what is that expression, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger?????
sorry for going on, i just need to vent a bit.

take care all you wonderful ladies.

rachel

I know it's hard when your low and don't have a job to focus on. But after what you have been through maybe you need time out. To focus on you for a while longer. A job will come when you are ready...your skills will always be needed. rest up and take some time to care for you before you start caring for others :) :)

Look forward to hearing from you on Pheonixes...

Hi ladies

Jen, hope you have a great weekend. It's good to spend time with family. Something I really don't do often enough!

Well done Jackie, 13mm is good news. You are a star follie grower.

Dizzie, hope all went well today, can't wait to hear your news.

Rachel, what a horrid day you've had. I do sympathise, why does everything happen at once? You will get through this. You are a strong person. I an't believe that you will be out of work for long. Good luck with the job hunting.

Me, sorry to say I am very down today too. My cycle has been cancelled again. My bloods showed that my E2 level was too high. Got the message on my mobile at 5pm today. Cyst drain cancelled everthing has come to a stop again. We started this process last Feb and still have not got to EC stage. I feel like giving up. Maybe it was not meant to be? Why, I ask myself? It is so frustrating, disappointing and dam well not fair! Rant Rant rant!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
I can't even call the clinic 'cos all closed now. Off to have a large glass of wine, bye for now
Thank you for listening

anna, i am so so sorry. i know you must feel devastated but please dont give up. last time you were able to start cycling but unfortunately it wasn't the right protocol. now the docs know what to do, it's only a question of time before it all comes together. i know that means more waiting and you've already done far too much of that but it will be worth it in the end.

have you ever tried acupunture? it supposedly helps balance hormone levels but i don't know if it has any effect on cysts. just a thought.

please don't give up hope, i know things seem bleak now but you will get there, i'm sure of it.

jen, thanks for your message, you're a star. enjoy your weekend.

Hi everyone....

I am so bloated!!! Yes I think I have bowling balls in there and not follies.

I go for a scan in the morning to see how they are growing. It feels like they are sure growing great!!

OMG.. So I have 2 sisters... 28years old and 41. The older thought she was going thru menopause and the 28 year old is fanatical about getting pregnant. (She is trying every month naturally) Both know what I'm doing and are very supportive :D :D We are very close.

Can you belive it??? My older sister called me today to tell me SHE is Pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!! What?? I thought she was kidding.

They have been trying for 5 yrs. She has 2 boys- 5 and 7 and she wanted a girl so she was making plans to adopt.

Is this divine intervention or what??

OMG.. I'm still in shock!!

Good morning ladies, happy Saturday!!

Jackie, hope your scan went well and those follies have done their thing and grown grown grown!!! Great news for your sister. Send her best wishes, she gives hope to us ladies over 40 !!

Rachel, thank you for your message. Hope you are OK today.
I have an appointment on 24th to discuss next step. Really don't know what they will say. Our infertility is unexplained, so frustrating. We don't know what's broke so we don't know what to fix! I will try a short protocol to see if that works. The cysts seem to keep reappearing and messing everything up. Don't know if I had them before or if they are part of reaction to meds??
If short protocol doesn't work then I don't know what we will do next. Am too old to adopt in this country and donor eggs are hard to come by. Watch this space. Am trying to keep positive :)
How is the job hunting going? Maybe some time away from work will give you time to think about what you really want and what to do next. Big hug to you. :)

Dizzie, am watching for your news!!

PMA to all
