Hi Tiger - as my DH keeps saying the only way to get a BFP is to not give up - i have do doubt you can do it - its just a matter of being the right time!

Im in the dreaded 2ww over anaylizing everything and jumping from being positive to negative. We only got 2 blasts in the end which are both in me so fingers crossed. All the others seemed to slow up on day 4/5 and couldnt be frozen which was disappointing. BT is on 6/6.

Hey Girls
I'm back was yesterday actually and had written out my post to you guys and my internet was disconnected which is so annoying anyway i'ts good to be back and great to so new people joining us

Liz welcome and congrats on your bfp i have a funny cycle so the last period date for me doesn't apply either so you just add two weeks from the date od ec and you can work out your due date from there. hope your feeling better or are on the mend any morning sickness yet.

Hi Lulu great to have you on board i went to QFG at wickam terrace sdo i'm sure you'll be in good hands my doctor was doc molloy he's the head fella there and managed to get me pregnant with my poor stimming results goodluck and keep us posted on how things go

wow Susan your time is here for the wicked two week wait i'm good for the first week but the second i dream about evil pee sticks and have to hold myself back from doing them one good sign is if you over stimmed it should get worse if you get pregnant not to say that is for everyone though but something to keep inb mind. i'll keeping my eye out on the 6/6 for your BFP goodluck

Em hows things going for you getting a big bump yet i know i am

Ozstock yoou've probably had your little one by now i hope you can post soon to let us know what flavour you had and of course how your all doing i hope your all well.

Kery my girl hows the little mumma going one beanie is great i say leave the twins for the next round when your back in practise hey did you ever find out if you release one or more eggs with the stimmed iui just curious now that we mentioned it earlier hey congrats again it's the only time i could actually say i was glad to feel sick i hope it's not to bad for you though.

Tiger wheres my positive mate that keeps up everyone elses pma of course your time will come as susan said it's only a matter of finding the right time and then going for it. it's good to hear from you how is the rest of your life and job going hows dh good i hope.

As for me i've definately popped and actually fit into my maternity pants. I regualarily feel bub moving now its very gentle but enough to know he or she is still going well. i have my scan on the 3rd of june i still can't decide if i want to know if it has indoor or outdoor plumbing i just can't help think that itf i find out and then i realize i really wanted the suprize at the end i can't take back knowing but on the other hand it would be great to know now and to be able to name the bub and buy specific things instead of yellow and mint green.

Anyway great to see the board alittle busier welcome to our newbies and goodluck to those waiting for their BFP'S to come shortly

Take care JOMAEXXXX

Susan, hang in therererere!! I know there is not much you can do while you're in the 2ww zone. Snuggle up to your hubby and let him have it - hahahahahaha. I can't tell you about +ve symptoms because I have never had that feeling - but our first IVFfers here have all gotten BFP so you will get BFP as well. I am sure of it!!!

Chickies, I am feeling so much better today - sorry about my last post. Jomae, you said it - I am even ashamed of myself - NOT! just desparate to get on that stupid rollercoaster ride.

You all have a wonderful weekend. Catch ya, Love, Tiger xx

Hi Girls
Tiger good to see your posting and that your feeling alittle better i know the wait is terrible i feel bad for you i hope the rest of your life smooths out soon so you can get on that wicked rollercoaster get your BFP and then jump off and start enjoying things.

Susan hey there i think the main thing i had was i started to feel bloated and sore in the belly area about half way through the two week wait or a little after that. i very mildly over stimmed this time and they say if it gets worse around when implantation is taking place then it's a great sign the other thing was obviuosly the sore boobs but if this make sense when i moved like twisted my hips i could feel my uterus you know how your ovaries feel larger because of the stimms well it was like that but with my uterus i also noticed the veins in my chest area seemed darker, oh i also had one small spot of brown blood around implantation time or a couple of days after it should have taken place i had that with both pregnacies. But just remember and i'm sure you already know that some ladies have no symptoms at all so hang in there and keep positive that you'll be soon added to our growing bfp list

Sorry ladies have to run hope your all well ill chat again soon

Hi Guys, we have been a busy little thread haven't we!

Tiger- Don't beat yourself up over having a blue moment, we've all been there. You will get your BFP, its just your life has been a bit hectic up till now. Once you get settled in your new life, things will start to happen for you, I'm sure of it.

Jomae- I definately have a bump! My poor tummy muscles didn't have a chance after the twins! I have known what flavour my bub is for the last month (one of the benefits of working in the industry!) we aren't telling anyone but I guess its ok for you guys to know, 'cos who are you going to tell right? Its a little princess for us to spoil! I still can't believe that we have been that blessed.

Susan - I didn't get any signs with either pregnancy no sore boobs, nothing. The only thing I can remember feeling is a week after transfer I felt tingling all over one day. Everyone is different and I wouldn't read to much into any of it. Only 5 more days til bt!!!! I am so excited/nervous for you! I really hope this is your cycle.

Kery - how many weeks are you now? Hopefully the morning sickness will pass quickly for you. I'm getting migraines now which are not fun.

Hi Liz and Lula, hope you are well.

Anyway, I think I need a sleep.

Hi girls
Good to see some movement on the boards

Em a princess thats sweet and your right who can we tell. the headaches are bad aren't they the only thing that slightly budged mine were the occassional panadeine which you can have if nothing else works sorry i have no other suggestions as nothing else worked for me apparently your having another hormonal change, a decrease if i'm correct and that is meant to be the cause if it's any consilation mine only lasted about two weeks and i haven't had another one. and your right about the belly thing i think i'm showing about a month earlier this timemust be the weakened muscles oh well the price we pay

Kery nine weeks man time is flying hopefully that is the end of the morning sickness for you then you just have indigestion heart burn, round ligament pain, pressure, consipation and possibly hemaroids to look forward to ha ha and then just to soften that for you little flutters letting you know your bub is in there

Susan hows the terrible 2ww have you caved and done a home test any new hunches on the outcome I've got everything crossed for you here i'll even send you some babydust to help seal the deal

* STICKY BABY DUST * STICKY BABY DUST *
Rub some of that on your belly i've heard it works :lol:

Liz hows the other residnet mumma going has your bfp sunk in yet have you worked out your due date yet must be in the end of jan or early feb let us know how things are going

Lulu hows things for you have you settle on your doctor and got your protocol set up for whats going to happen yet

Tiger hello hello hello hello hello hello hello

I have my scan tommorrow and still can't decide if we are finding out the flavour im hopeing i'm having the same flavour as Em but with having Icsi done it's more likely to be a prince than a princess which we'll be cool with to. today i'm swaying on the to find out side i have been for the past few days actually i guess i won't know until i'm there though it would be easier if dh wasn't going to be there once he knows all will know he won't directly come out and say what we are having but he will indicate and he has this thing with his lips where it sort of curls if he tries to lie both our families can read him like a book so i'm hesitant for this reason i just don't know

Anyway kery you impatient thing i'll let you know as soon as i know
take care JOMAEXXXX

Hi all - nice to hear from so many of you and thank you so much for your good wishes

Em - congrats on a little girl. You now have the complete package! And Jomae did you find out your flavour?

Unfortunately i dont have the best of news - AF turned up this morning which i'm devastated about - 5 days before BT! Its such a horrible feeling of failure. The problem is i'm just not sure what to do now - whether to try naturally or get my remaining tube looked at or try IVF again or just give it a miss for a while. It's just a horrible case of not knowing what to do next :cry: and i'm sick of having to make all of these decisions all the time - i had always expected getting pregnant to be easy and it seems everything i try works to a certain extent but then fails.

I think i might book myself in for a counselling session and see if that helps me.

Sorry to be so glum everyone - hope you're all having a much better day :D

I'm so sorry to read your post are you sure its AF. it's so frustrating and definately a big P*** off that things haven't worked for you this time as for what to do next its up to you and how your coping with things. Your probably thinking that you've wasted your time and money but the way i i tend to think of it as a trial run the protocol use for your first attempt is always a big guess butif you were to decide to try again your doc will now have history on how you respond to the meds and be able to fine tune your protocal to suit you better. as for the councilling if you feel it will help you definately go for it anything to help releive the stress and upset i say . Again i'm sorry to read your news i do hope to see you on the boards and i hope your able to move forward and keep working to your little miracle YOUR TIME WILL COME you just have to keep at it

All the best JOMAEXXX



Ps not yet scans tommorrow thanks for asking

Thanks Jomae for the advice - its a very good way of looking at things. The fact so many of you posting on this board have been able to get a BFP should be an inspiration to me to just keep going....

Hi ladies
I had my scan today and you'll pleased to know i caved in and found out that we are having a LITTLE GIRLwho will be named KATIE i haven't decided on a middle name yet i have a name chosen but i don't know if i want to use it or not if we have another baby which at this point seeing this one is a girl the shop is shut but if it reopens i would like the name i've chosen for a first name as i love it just as much as Katie but i can't find anything to go with Katie as well as the one i'm trying to decide on

The scan went well it went for 45 mins plus but i do have to go back in two weeks time as she was a bit stubborn and wouldn't let us get a good loock at her heart the sonographer even had me get up and pee she also had me rolling all over the bed to see if Katie would roll over. i have a cheeky one already.

Anway my day can't get much better how about you ladies

Did you know?

I ran into a lady at the caravan and camping show yesterday who happen to have done ivf also and she tells me that you can now choose to have a boy or girl oh my god we had asked our doc back in jan 08 as we were curious and he said it wasn't legal but apparently its not any more anyone else heard of this just wondering if it is now the norm everywhere or what the go is

hope your all well and get back on the boards soon i'm booaaarrrrrrddddd if your sick with morning sickness i'll forgive you this time kery thats for you where are you man?
