Awaiting Treatment

Morning Ladies

Beautiful morning here in good ole Norn Iron

Jen: No baby here at work today (so far anyway lol) but i think after all the fuss, i'll prob miss him I dont want to hear no more negative thoughts again from u young lady! From now on its PMA all the way Your gonna have a fantastic break, that will put u in good stead for the tmt - have u checked out the sucess rates at this clinic, what are they? There must be some reason why ur trying there = better sucess rates yes? Then get that PMA back hun - this IS gonna work for you, i said so So come on, cheer up - Tuesday is nearly here and the ball will be well and truley rolling Have a great weekend and a fab 12 days off (u jammie cow lol) will do the AF jiggie dance for u too xxxx

Karia: So sorry ur feeling down. 1 BFN was bad enough for me, how you ladies go on time and time again, i'll never know. After my BFN, i completley gave up - even to the point of posting a thread to say 'bye bye' to my friends ive made here - i felt i couldnt go on. But u do, altho u never ever forget - u pick urself back up and carry on racing towards ur dream - very brave ladies, and ur one of then hun - i understand wanting to go for donor eggs, but i can see DH's view too - he wants whats best for u both, should u have another go with ur eggs and it fails again - then u must both agree that should it fail - next step is donor eggs. Get ur DR to go thru it all with ur DH so he understands fully - it always sounds better comming from the DR i think, for a start he cant anwser him back the way he does with u, and will have to sit and listen at least ur point will be put across. Its hard when one doesnt agree with the other, but ur together for a reason - u love each other and no matter how differently u both feel now, u will come to a decision thats right for the both of you. Give it a day or two and u will be wondering what all the fall out was about Sending hugz ur way <hugzzzz> xxxx

JS: Aw hun - im sorry about ur Supression check - what a bummer? Did the nurse say when u will be ready? I dont really understand what a supression check is - fancy explaining it all to me lol - i dont think i had to have one of those, if i did i didnt know about it or what it was called So does this mean u wont be starting untill 30th June? Or do u get another check then? I know ur disapointed, and im sorry for that, sending hugzz <hugzzzz> xxx

Shantala:Hi honey, sorry i didnt anwser ur question earlier, about ur trigger shot - i agree with Jen - i dont think it would have made much difference, but next time just go slowly and tap the side of the needle too, that pushes the fluid up and gets rid of the bubbles (i was always afraid of the air bubbles, in case i injected a vein i know i know, u cant do that - but knowing me i bloody would have lol) The first morning of injections i was so afraid, and made sure DH had got rid of bubbles to the point of shouting at him (being that scare'd think u do tend to shout/snap lol) oh the joys of IVF eh? What about ur AF - any joys on her yet?

Gill: Hope ur DH is feeling better, send him a cyber hug from me (no tounges tho lol) Have u heard back from ur clinic yet to see if all ur paperwork has arrived? Not long to go now, i bet ur all excited, jetting off to have a baby - kinda like a 'holiday baby' lol. Hope ur gonna name him/her after its spanish herritage lol - u and Jen can come up with some lovely names lol.

(ok mad moment over now)

AF is here with avengence, so ignore everything i said yesterday - she's well and truly arrived, im in agony, in work and to top it all my 'AF things' are locked in one of my collegues filing cabinet, and she is away on holidays! Gonna have to nip out shortly to get more!
Right ladies, thats me for the morning - BB is on 2night - DH did try to ban it from our telly - 2nd prize he had

Catch u soon ladies, its my run on Sunday - will update u all how it went (if im not dead lol)

hey welsch girl...dear, here is what i understand went wrong with me....a new cycle starts with ur new cycle of periods...on the 2nd or 3rd day u take the stim right? my periods r extremely unpredictable and dnt come for months...so last month the dr. said when i have my period he'll put me on OCP so that he can manipulate my cycle the way it needs to be...however ...when we went for our baseline blood that cycle...the dr. wasn't there...the nurses didnt know...even though i had the ocps in my purse..i was told not to use them coz the nurses didnt know....huh...so...i get to see the dr on day 8 of my cycle....he says u shud hv been on the pill...i say u weren't here...what can be done now..its already too late in the cycle.....he said he cant giv me the pill...neither he said he cud giv me a period thru provera...we come home devastated...we receive a call from the dr...telling me he had change of plans...we go back he says..he discussed wihth his colleague...and had a change of plan....he sadi he'll give me lupron 20 units daily and put me on NETA which is progesterone only pill...for ten days...and he said after i m done the 10 days ill have a period...by the same time lupron will suppress my hormones...and if i am properly suppressed...i'll get a period by now...and start my stim today...however i didn't get a period...so far...and remember...we have to finish everythng by june 30..so...lots of troubles...i dnt know what's next....the nurse said theyll do a check again on 4th...and do a sono...so...lets wait....and pray...for the period to show up....i thought ivf was advanced science...it sure is...but i didnt know it wud be so tough....i had thought...no prob they giv u some med...get the eggs make babies...and put them back...no doubt they do it ...but there r so many loop holes...so many things that can go wrong...i just don't understand...after all ..its all about money huh?if i had 15000$ to pay...i wudt be worried about june the 30th..

[karia]

Im in work at the minute - and soooooooo bored! I have plenty to do, but just really cant be botherd - its too warm lol. I live in Co Armagh, just outside Portadown so travel a fair bit down to the clinic, but well worth it - not only is it a hour + drive, it's extra time off work (wooo hoooo!) lol.

hi welshgirl im from dec/jan aswell but my username was mom20 i have and a new program windows vista installed and couldnt get logged back on as my usual user so had to join forum again.We had a break after our first attempt at IVF failed at christmas 05. What can i say our whole world felt like it had ended. I did not know what to do or how to feel and swore never again it was to much to bare. All those months of doctors appointments and hospital visits scans and injections. With the hope of that just maybe at the end there would be at little bundle of joy at the end. Then for it to fail with no reason why it was heart braking. Ive had time to think things over and i am ready to have another try. After being adviced to have a break by docs to c if anything happens naturally due to the fact that nothing has been found to be wrong with either of us. Our appointment was back in April but when we got there it was cancelled as the doc who we were seeing had been called out for an emergency. The other doc was on a weeks holiday so there was no-one else. I didnt no weather to laugh or cry. As we went back in jan and were told to wait till now as the funding wasnt coming through until now. So again we were told to wait for another appointment. Which was yesterday we sat for 1 hour and a half only to be told that the funding still hadnt come threw and that they dont expect it to till jan 08 and we were top of the list and they would either write orf phone us then. How dare they make us sit there all that time just to let me down they could of written to me. Id gotten myself all prepared to start and now i feel like i have no option its not fair thing just arent happening the natural way and we both feel like we are never gonna have children of our own. Without assited conception and to be told that we have to wait even longer just brakes my heart even more. So looks like we could be waiting for a while and just woundered if i could join your thread
thanks

Hey Mom20:

Of course i remember you from our old thread. Im so glad that you have decided to go for another go, but so bloody mad at those DR's who keep messing you about I dont think they realise the heartache we go thru - to be put back for mths the way we sometimes are - its just another date to them, but to us it feels like a lifetime. Im so sorry they have done that to you. I remember how devastated you were with ur BFN, but u know u have come to the right place, here u can vent, or cry, even laff with us, we are here for you.
I really do hope you get started tmt soon, but in the meantime try to enjoy the time you and DH have together, i know it feels like ur life is on hold at the moment - but its not - its just on pause for a few mths more than u expected.
I hope ur feeling better soon, hugs to u as always <hugzzzzzz> xxx

AF has finally arrived today, am praying she wil be gone by Tuesday as i have to have a mock ET on Wed and dont want her around then

Still feeling crap, have a terrible headache and still have the cold, its been here for nearly 3 weeks

Just read i cant even take my lipsalve on the flight, whats the world coming to

Becky - Thanx for the kick ass talk, i needed that. Yep the success rates are higher but after 4 failed ivf's i suppose i just keep thinking this one will be the same. I keep trying to remind myself the eggs will be young

Carolyn - Have a good flight and be careful in Dubai, dont spend to much money

Away to lie down and try to get rid of this headache before Big Brother comes on. Becky i reckon dh needs kicked out if he doesnt watch it

Will catch up tomorrow

Love Jen x

Hey Ladies

Sorry a busy few days at work this week.

Sneaked on here before I depart at like 5.30am tomorrow morning. Still got to finish packing so this will have to be quite quick.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes - especially Nimble/Jackie. Love the letters - that is so cool. Brought a real smile to my face. Not as hard as being 4-0. dh and I had a nice low key meal in the evening - fish & chips. Plus I got some nice pressies including a nice purse and Grey's Anatomy DVDs from my dh. Trying to keep them for tmt cycle as I am such an addict and know that this will help pass 30 hours!!!

Jackie - please take it easy hun. Sure that you want to go to the gym but just wait a few weeks and look after yourself for now. Take good care. I hope that your scan is going to go so well & put your mind at rest

Becky - I can understand your feelings about being used as a babysitter. That is a tough ask for ladies in our position. So pleased that your AF is here and that you have an appointment. So fab. One wife of a friend announced their little girl today - they got married after me and dh. Plus another old work collegue told me that she is 17 weeks. She has fought really hard for her 2nd child but it is still hard to hear

Shantala - I am sure that the trigger was fine. I did my 2nd one at that rock concert. I did not even see where the stuff went!! I am sure that you will be a lot more careful than that. So excited that we get to cycle together. Miss you when you are not around - although I have been MIA too. Busy busy busy

Gill - sorry that you have had a tough time with your dh. Sure that it takes a bit of getting used to. It is good that you are giving him lots of attention but are still on track for Barcelona

Jen1d - Sorry that AF is here but hope that she is gone by Wednesday hun. Hope that you have a very successful trip and also manage some fun in the sun. I shall think of you on 6th and send you loads of +ve vibes. The magic eggs are going to be the business. PMA as Becky says

Beachbaby - welcome. Sorry that you are being mucked around by nhs. It is so poor. I am sure that you are very frustrated. But we are here if you need to rant

Karia - I hear you. I keep encouraging my dh to think of Barcelona and 'new' eggs. He has not been very suppportive and much prefers me to carry on having treatment with my own eggs. We have been to councelling and that helped a little. For the first time this evening I got him to say that he might be able to get comfortable with Barcelona. That is massive progress but I would say that I have worked on him for 6 months since our 2nd BFN. It will take the pressure off me for this last fresh cycle as I will know that I have a Plan B. It is tough decisions for all of us to make

Mom20 - I remember you from Dec/Jan too. How strange that you had to change your user name. Sorry that you have had a rough time & have been messed around by the clinic. They have no idea what it all means for us. Try to chill/relax and have some fun but totally understand how it feels that we are all rather in limbo and just wnat to get on with it all. You came to the right place

JS - welcome to the thread. I am sorry that it has been anything other than plane sailing for you. Sounds like there a number of ladies on here who have issues with their clinics right now. Hope that it can get straightened out and you can get back on track before too long

Pat - that is a very kind offer. I am at a new clinic and have no idea what stimmies I will need as yet but sure that one of the ladies will put to good use. Thanks ever so much

Hugs to everyone else. Must go and finish my packing as have such an eraly start tomorrow. Will miss my dh but happy to be going as it will pass another 6 days towards my starting tmt. Also feel that as I am working hard now, I will be able to take a real break when I am in tmt as will have earned loads of credit with my business partners. So am seeing it as a real positive being very busy right now. Shall think of you all & send you +ve vibes from Dubia. Not sure whether I shall be able to post or not. I'll try - otherwise I am back in UK on Thursday evening. Not even been able to get into BB as going away for 6 days - seems like I shall have to get fully up to speed when I am back. My dh thinks that it is pants too so tries to stop me watching

Off to finish packing..........have a great weekend. I shall only be 11 days from down regging when I get back. OMG. OMG.

Love to you all.
Carolyn

Hi Everyone,

I am getting nervous about our post IVF consult on Tuesday. I think the doctor is going to suggest donor eggs which is ok with me but it is really expensive and if we do that we won't have anything leftover for adoption costs. I am also worried that there is something she may have overlooked - like some problem with my endo and I don't want to waste all that money on another BFN. I am just so tired of the process....Does anyone know the actual success rates with donor eggs?

Anyway, DH decided to book a trip to Ireland - my favorite place to vacation! We are going in August. This will be my 4th trip and and his first. I can't wait. We are also planning a week of camping in June which should be restful.

Karia - I know how you feel. It gets harder and harder to bounce back after getting multiple BFNs. You are in the right place for cheering up, though! My thoughts are with you.

Jen - I hope you are feeling better. PMA helps but really there is nothing we can do but keep trying.

Becky - I am so excited for you starting a new cycle this summer! I hope this one is "the one."

Hope everyone else is enjoying a lovely weekend!

Long long overdue post......

Jen great news about having your paper work all ready and gone, it's one step closer to your bump.

Jackie (nimble) ooo it's so good to see your ticker 7 weeks already, ok just read your post about the gym....i hope the spotting has stopped and please feel free to be plump and pregnant sod your weight we love you wobbly bits and all

Carolyn my sweet long time ivf bud ..we are almost getting excited about the house we could have a closing date soon it's been a long hard few weeks..paper work wise wont bore you with the details, oh my gosh you are going to be so close when you get back...thinking of you..OMG i missed your birthday...post to follow....

Beachbaby...welcome to a great thread...man i get bummed about the whole ivf funding stuff i am trying to win the lotto...will keep you informed

Shantala...ooo hunny am praying for a hold off on AF for after Sunday for you...ah ok just read about trigger shot...NO you did NOT do anything wrong last time i 100% hand on heart promise you had nothing to do with your last cycle not working they allow for an error, your clinic did the wrong thing yes they took them too early not your trigger shot..this time will be different your more informed.

Gill i am so sorry about your DH's diabetes please be reassured my ex hubby was insulin dependant diabetic, and it took him a while to get used to it (until he met me) it's just a new way of life for you both, if you take good care of each other and I'm sure you do and will it will be fine, this will just become a new part of what you do every day.

Pat that's very sweet of you... i need Gonal F if you know anyone who has that?...

Karia ooo me and my DH have had moments with the whole IVF thing i love my hubby more than anything but IVF can make you crazy, i know it seems easy to say but i think our hubby's just get so upset that they cant fix our heart break and I'm sure yours is just trying to make things better for you in his own way?...

JS omg I'm gutted for you both i cant imagine how it must feel to get the news your not suppressed...did they give you a reason for this?..Becky i know way to much what a suppression check is...LOL i will explain if ya like... ooo JS i just read about your doing NETA..i did that last cycle too it was my best cycle ever, i was also late starting NETA was told it should be started day 1 we started on day 8 still got the best embies ever...
