September Hope's and Dream's

[AuntyPebbles]

Ladys thank you so much for your cheering i am just waiting for the call to say my bloods are ok then first lupron tonight woohoo ...

Jemima sweetie it is a lot to try to take in at once so you have to do it in small bits that you can manage... try takeing a needle and draw up some water then inject it into an orange for practise after you do it a few times it gets really easy i promise... dont be afraid think of the end result get a picture and look at before you do your injection to remind you of the good things that can happen and every injection is one step closer to your baby.....big hug to you...

Jeck a few days behind you but i cant believe were on oour way...have a great trip see you soon...you will be missed

Emma27 i am so praying they keep a very close eye on you this cycle its going to be fine you must be excited to start again....lots of prayers your way

Isla my E2 level did that to me too it seemed to drag really low then jumped up in the last few days...fingers crossed

Angela hun i have an amazing web site i found (i was looking up Jackies Nugget) well ok i found two sites...LOL and some more but these two are really good....

Afternoon ladies,

Ive just been on the phone to my clinic and told them about my AF, the nurse was very understanding, but asked what it looked like, i said - reddish/brown, only there when i wipe, but my AF pains are so painfull
i thought she was going to say - hang on in there untill tomorrow and do the test, u never know - but she didnt
She said its unlikely that your pregnant, if you were going to have spotting - you would have had it b4 now, and that spotting doesnt usually occur the day b4 test! She said i could use the pg test if i wanted to, but i dont think there is much point. I have to ring them in the morning once i found out how my AF is doing (the flow etc) to make an appointment for a review.
I really dont know girls if i can do this again - i cant think about it right now - i have to move on and stop clutching at straws - but its so hard to let go ..... i wanted this so much

[Ems1971]

Becky I'm so sorry. It will take time for you to get over this disappointment but it WILL get easier.
It doesn't look good for me tomorrow does it, if she's saying spotting doesn't usually happen day before test. Mine's been here since Monday and is still here.

Ems:

She said that it didnt START the day b4 the test - if i was pregnant and had spotting - it would have happened BEFORE - like urs did ..... Please dont worry about this ok, i wont let u give up - i refuse to see another sad face on this September thread ......

What u have is 'spotting' not a full blown period - she told me i would get mine by tomorrow - if u was going to have ur period, it would have been full blown by Tuesday wouldnt it ????

PMA Emma Lady!!

Well PMA has now hit rock bottom. I was doing really well until today when our assistant at work walked in and said she was leaving with immediate effect. This has left us in a right mess as we have a function on tonight and a really big one on Saturday. There was only her, DH and myself working there. Now it leaves just the 2 of us and with all this on it is going to be impossible to take it easy, plus my stress levels today have gone through the roof. I just want to cry. There is no chance that my embrios will make it through this and all the treatment will have been for nothing. This is going to be our only go at IVF as well. I don't think she knew about our treatment as we just took last week as holiday but it makes you wonder as it seems like it was done out of spite. Also DH has just told me that she said a few months back that she might be pregnant but if she was she was having an abortion. This really has made me feel bad. I think I need some super glue strength sticky dust for my 2 to stick with now.

Sorry to have a rant but this has really knocked me for 6 today.

Angela,

So sorry to hear of ur work problems hun - at the time when ur meant to be 'taking it easy' this must have come as a right blow. Can u not persuade her to stay - just for another week or so - does she not have to give u some sort of notice?
If she has just walked out, is there anyone u can think of to help u out - what about an agency, can u not hire someone from there, just to get u thru the next few weeks?

Sending u super super glue sticky baby dust - tell ur wee ones (Jack n Jill) to stay put, they have a lot to look fwd to - having parents like u and ur DH

[angelamw]

Becky

Thank you for the words of encouragement. She can't stay as she has already thrown her keys at us, and was really nasty at what she had to say. We are madly phoning round to call in every favour we can but basically we are stuck for tonight in that DH and myself have got to do 3 peoples work and even more stuck for Saturday. It also means that until we find a replacement and train them up we have to work 7 days a week including the day of testing. I am so angry. I don't know whether to scream or to cry. This stress is not what we need right now. When we had EC the nurse warned us that as we had so many eggs I was at alot greater risk of OHSS. I said to DH this afternoon that this really would be the icing on the cake.

Sorry to rant on again but I can't tell anyone else here why it is such a big deal that she has left now. Also the committee we work for think we will be able to manage, but obviously we can't tell them yet the reason why I need to take it easy.

Thank you for being here for me.

Just wanted to add a big thank you to Aunty for the embrio pictures link. It was lovely and they have made me cry.

[Vickie]

Hi Every1
This definately goes down as one of the worst, if not, THE worst day of my life.... Been crying so much i have the worst head ache ever and i feel soooo tired!
DH wants to take me out 2nite 2 try and cheer me up. Bless him, this morning i knew the test would be neg so i gave it straight to him and he sat there watching it and was sure it was going to be positive!- sadly not!

Becky-I am so sorry to hear that AF has arrived, this IVF lark really is hard when it gets to this stage!

Angela-try not to relax and let ur work probs bother you too much, i know its easy to say but just keep talking to jack and jill-they will help you through and i'm ging to stay around here until i hear ur BFP

Ems- All the best 4 2moro m8, ur our last survivor out of us 3, i know u can do it, stay strong 4 1 more night and i'll look first thing in the morning!

I spoke to our clinic and now we're coming to terms with it we want to plan our next cycle asap...We have 2 pay 4 this one so we want to be a bit fussy...
Wot do think about changing clinics? I've found one with a 59% success rate for my age group, only prob its about 200 miles away. DH has family living 5 mins from the clinic so i can stay with them??

My head is all over the place, we don't know what to do. The clinic we just did our cycle at only has about a 21% success rate and i can try again until february - thats like 6 months - what do u ladies think??

And...its all sooo expensive!

Love to every1 and thank u 4 ur support 2day

LOL Vickie x x x

[Welshgirl38]

Vickie,

Im exactly the same as u hun, ive cried so much, my head is thumping and im so tired! I keep going upstairs to have a weep, which turns out to be a sob the kids are home from college and i dont want to blurt in front of them - they are kinda keeping out of my way - i dont think they know what to say or do - poor things. My DH is at work and keeps texting/ringing me to make sure iim ok - we've booked tomorrow off work - not realising that AF would show up today, so we both had to work.

Anyway - Vickie, about u changing clinics - if u feel better about doing that - then go for it, 59% is really good, i dont think ive ever heard of one with that much sucess - i would deff go and visit - but try to remember that 200 miles is a long way to go, would u be able to cope with scans etc. Take a visit there and see what u think - as u say u are paying this time (its costly) and it pays to look around for the best deal (as such) Shame they dont do BOGOF offers on IVF eh? (Buy One Get One Free - for those of u who dont know!)

If we decide to try again, i think we will also look around this time - altho we paid for our last treatment, we wernt reallly given a choice - we were refered by our GP to the clinic - and just went for it. I think that should there be a next time for us, i will deff ask a lot more questions.

Im sorry today has turned out the way it has for the both of us hun, im on my 'ok' moment now - so chin up - we WILL get there, and boy when we do ....... we are gonna shout it to the whole wide world

Love to u and DH

[hopeful-in-LV]

Becky and Vickie, I'm very sorry to hear your news. Hang on, be strong and take good care of yourself. I'll be praying for good news with your next round.

Vickie, I think 59% is very good. I would go for it, especially if you have family you can stay with. You'd have to take time off work too, but that would be good if you didn't have any work stress to deal with. Good luck!

Ems, Good luck with testing. Don't worry too much, I think you're going to do fine. I am really hoping to hear a little more good news from this board!

I had my cycle review on Tuesday. My RE thinks my endometrium may have been slightly ahead of the embryos. They were unable to syncronize. He says it can happen when taking stims. He said that other than failing to implant, everthing went very well and there's nothing I could have done better. He says our chances with FET are very good, about 50%. Thank God we have our 3 frosties! If we didn't have them, it would be all over for us this round. We'd have to pay for another IVF and that would not be possible for another year or so.
We are planning to do our FET the last week of Oct.- early Nov. So I guess I'll be going over to visit the October peeps. I'm praying hard for a Holiday miracle!

Good luck everyone! I pray for the best for you all!
