Any Oct/Nov cycle buddies?

Tricia,

Good luck for your test. I just had to write and say that I was also convinced it had not worked at one point during the 2ww. But now I'm 15 weeks with twin boys, so it just goes to show that we really can't tell at all until the test. I even bled up until 7 weeks, so you can imagine I thought it was AF every time.

Good luck to all for a sane 2ww and a BFP on test day!

Hey everyone,

well, a week to go. it is so hard maintaining enthusiasm. every morning i wake up and think, now what was it i was thinking about? oh, yeah, whether i feel pg or not! I feel guilty if i spend 5 minutes thinking about something else - which of course i do, like work or whatever!

don't feel anything yet. my last bfp i felt crampy pains and aches about a week before the test (sophie - VERY good sign!) so i will probably start to panic if i don't feel anything soon.

this 2ww is just a killer, isn't it... nice to know i'm not alone.

take care all,

jaye

Hi Everyone,

Jaye/Sue do you both feel nausea on progesterone? Has anyone else had this side effect. This morning I feel so sick but ravenous - ate horseradish on toast with cold left-over lamb. Feeling low as I don't want to be any bigger than I already am for Christmas......................

Tricia,
I have also posted on the other thread. I am so bl**dy sorry. Life can be so crap sometimes. But your dream will come true Tricia. Big hugs to you and dh.

All the best Love Sophie-Jane

Out of 6 eggs I only have one that made it! I am so mad! I do not even want to do it tomorrow. I wanted to get twins out this. The same thing happened to me last time it is not fair

Laurie,

So sorry that you only have one left, but that one might be your son or daughter in 9 months time...........................

Good luck on your ET.

Joy

[jaye]

Tricia, I'm so sorry. It's all so unfair. Look after yourself.

Laurie, of course I can understand you're disappointed, but one is better than none. Try and focus on the positive.

Joy, I certainly don't feel sick at all, and haven't heard of this as being a side effect of progesterone, so could be a very good sign!

Jaye

[longbaygirl]

Sue/Jaye,

Thanks for your responses. Maybe the nausea is just worry/stress/anxiety and desire all wrapped up together. I did have a good search of the web and apparently progesterone mimics the signs of early pregnancy, so I won't get my hopes up. I've been getting that lower back ache that usually preceeds AF too, which is not good news..........................

Tricia - I feel for you. Every month is just a rollercoaster of emotions and anguish. Hope you can take sometime for yourself to find some peace and solace.

Well we went in for the ET today and Dr told us that our embie was not doing good. It is only a 5 cell and looks like it is already defragmenting, meaning it is stressed. The Dr advised we wait to see how it does. Dr is suppose to call us tom. Dr says the chances of it surviving are very slim.
Dr admits there is something wrong. We have had less then 10% survival rate with making embies. Dr says it should be 50- 75% succuss rate. Meaning we should have had at least 3 good embies this time. Dr says it Not what we or the lab is doing but he suspects chromosomely. He says our next step is to have Dh and I go through chromosome testing. This time our 1 embie looks even worse then the last single one we had on our first round of IVF. I am so so so crushed. I am relieved in the fact that we are going to wait cuz I really do not want to put myself through the 2wwer to be set up for another failure. I would rather begin the healing and prepare myself for next time. We asked the question about genetics/chromosomes, since one of dh's brothers ended up with an autistic child. Dr is not sure but wants any chromosome testing results on his brother if they were taken. Please if anyone has any info, suggestions, support etc for me I really need it. I feel very hurt and alone

To LTartan,
Sorry to read that things are not going well for you. Sorry, I don't have any advice or suggestions but do offer a big hug. It must be very difficult for you to get to this point only to find that things are not good. I know that I would be really upset if I were in your shoes. All I can suggest is that you ask as many questions as you can to try to get some answers. I find it heps me to cope if I have questions answered, even if I really don't like the things I find out.
Use the board to get support as lots of people out here know how you feel and this may be of some comfort.

Take care and I hope that you get what you want in the end.

Love
Debbie

Laurie,
Me too ... I'm so sorry that you are experiencing these problems with fertilisation. I can't help with any of your questions, but do understand how hard it must be for you at the moment. It may be worth putting out a new topic post asking everyone about fertilisation problems .. I'm sure someone will have some answers for you.
I'll light my candle for the one embie you do have and I hope it will give it a boost.

Valli - have you had et yet? How have your embies been? Let us know. Hope you are well and that you are not in too much pain still.

Joy - - are you still feeling sick? Remember I had sickness before and after ec so maybe it is just all the hormones in our bodies. Drink lots of water as nausea is also a sign of ohss. Not too long for you to go now until you get that BFP .. you are over half way aren't you??

Jaye and Susan - how are your 2ww going? I hope you are talking to your embies and willing them on. Take it real easy ... I did nothing for the two weeks ... skived off work and laid on the couch most of the time, so if you can do the same.

Julie - - good luck for that first injection? Is it Monday or am i wrong and you've already done it. You will soon be a pro at them anyway. Do keep up the PMA .. you will have a little bump for Xmas.

Hi Anna -- haven't heard from you in a while. Hope you are OK.

Lots and lots of luck to you all ... I will be keeping my eye on you.
Best wishes Sophie-Jane

Hi buddies

Got back today and trying to catch up but theres so much to read!!!

Tricia - so so so sad to hear your news. Life can be a right ***** at times!! My heart totally goes out to you and DH at the moment. Make sure you take plenty of time out to relax and get through this together. It must be so hard - but we are all here for you, and thinking of you!! Keep in touch XXX

Jill - How horrid. i am so sad for you. i had everything crossed that it would work out for you. Thinking of you tons - you have been such an inspiration and so great to the rest of us. Its so unfair that this has happened!! take plenty of time for yourselves to grieve. My heart goes out to you and your dh! XXX

Julie - so sorry the injections are causing you discomfort - let me know how you get on. I was very bloated from about half way through, and felt like I could almost feel ovaries and follies growing!! very strange sensation! i had good days and bad days really, some days i felt really heavy and bloated and other not too bad. thinking of you, i know its not nice.

Sophie - what fantastic news!! so pleased for you - 3rd times a charm, eh? XXX

Joy, Jaye and Susan - how are the 2wwers doing then, eh? Hope you are all well. Not long till a few more BFP's come rolling in now!! thinking of you all and sending loadsa postive vibes your ways. PMA PMA PMA girlies!!!! XXX

Laurie - Sorry I can't help with you problems with fertlisation - hwta a bummer. i see you have started a thread tho - anybosdy been able to help much? Big hugs anyway, Im sending you all my support and got things crossed that you'll get the answers you need. XXX

Valli - how are things? Hope you are well XXX

Anyone else - sorry if Ive missed you. But thinking of you all!! XXX

Well, would you believe it - we had to drive to the hospital on saturday for another scan, and got told that day that EC is TOMORROW (Tuesday)!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooo nervous but can't wait. I think next week is going to be hard as I just want it to be next weekend and have the embies implanted. i had sooo many eggs (30) I was really worried I was Hyper stimulating, but the nurse said my blood showed I was fine. I guess shes the one i should trust! Been drinking loads of water, so that should help.

I took it easy this weekend, just a bit of light swimming in the end. I had a horrible thursday in the end. My boss was really nasty to me - I said that i did not know when I would be having EC and she got all snidey with me saying I had to find out!! How the hell can you find out?? no one knows til very close as to how your eggs are doing etc!!! I got so upset I started crying and had to rush to the loos away from her - cow!! I didnt know how she could be so insensitive - her sister has been through IVF so she should know how nervwracking it can be at this stage without the added stress of work probs. by the way how much time do you girls tend to have off after EC?

Anyways - all things being well i should be starting the 2ww at the weekend. Is that tempting fate by saying that? i hope not

Anyway im off to bed, so take care girlies and keep in touch. Sorry I was away all weekend - but I was thinking of you all - honest!!

Love, Hugs and Kisses

Toni xx
