Hi LIMBO LADIES,
I've just had a cycle canc due to lack of follies and am wondering if I can join the limbo ladies cause Girls that's just how i feel...Lost and in limbo.
Was feeling pos for a while focusing on the postive points that the meds didn't work and the docs just need to get the dose right for me...But wakened up crying this morning and feel really heavy with grief. Presume it's due to the hormones in my body starting to re-adjust to their own cycle. My monthly down reg inj was due to wear off Monday 15th.
I have to phone the Hosp team on Frid19th to find out what they are planning to do next. Probably be a normal AF then start on the cycle after that which would bring us to approx the middle of Oct.
Seems so long away ....but hey, a day at a time eh! And we'll all get there.

Hi Jen
Welcome to limbo!
It must be very hard to have a cycle cancelled due to poor response. Was this your first cycle? I know it is hard to believe but the Drs always learn from each cycle.Lets hope they try something different next cycle for you.
I would imagine that your body is full of hormones at the moment which won't help how you feel. It is good to cry often it makes me feel better.
I am sure October will be here before you know it , in the mean time we are all here for you .
Take care and pamper yourself abit as you deserve it. Then it will be time to start getting ready for your next tmt!

hi
Yes Ellie this was my 1st cycle. Was a surprise unexpected pregnancy October 2003.VERY happy but was diagnosed ectopic at 10wks. Left tube totally removed but ovary intact. Tried for 6 months and in June 2004 was pregnant again. This time an early scan was done at 6 wks. Ectopic again right side partial tube removal ovary intact but no chance of normal preg.
Been on NHS ivf waiting list since Aug 2004, 1st IVF started with down reg july 2005, 1st scan revealed no follies...canc friday 12th Aug.
as you say it helps to get the meds right ... so here's hoping next time eh!
this whole site has helped me so much over the last couple of weeks...all you guys with PMA and emotional support really help.
A big hearty thank you to you all

Hi All...wasn't sure where I should post ......I am feeling really sorry for myself right now and about to break into tears...well they are flowing 
. I just got an email from a very good friend who I haven't seen in about 4 months...and guess what ...she is pregnant. I am really very happy for her but I am more selfish right now and feeling more sorry for myself...I know this is wrong but I can't help myself. She didn't even want to get pregnant..and wrote 'I wish it were you, rather then me.' I guess I could look on the bright side cuz now all my friends are happily pregnant. Sorry for being so gloomy but need to get it out of my system...thanks for being here!!

Oh Tracii dear I'm so sorry - cry your heart out and never apologise for feeling that way. It hurts every one of us each time someone close gets pg - however much we love them.
I don't really know what else to say but shout, scream, do whatever helps you get it out and then go write to your friend, if shes a good friend she'll understand the turoil of emotions you'll be going through.
Tiger, I'm so sad your trmy got cancelled, you must be upset. at least you'll be with dh for some long overdue hugs.
Jeni is seems you've been through a right roller coaster - I hope everything gets sorted for your next rmt and you get a fab ++

Thanks Eskavon for your support + PMA...
Feeling a bit better to-day. Emotional wise i still have that deep sick feeling in the pit of my stomach but it's better than it was yesterday.
Have my best buddy coming up from London to visit for 5 days that should take my mind off things.
Traci I know how you feel...these emotions of sadness and joy for others are so mixed when we can't get pg when we want...the ' I wish you were rather than me' me sums up all your thoughts too. That breaks my heart...but eskavon is right write down all you are feeling whether you ost the letter or not just get ot out of your system. It's at these times I thank my blessing for finding this site & these fab ladies...
Tiger ...Enjoy those cuddles with DH...take time for you, to get over this disappointment.Hope next tmt in Oct we can be buddies.
Love to all in Limbo

Hi everyone
Tiger
sorry your tmt didn't work this time it must be so frustrating. |Fingers crossed for next time.
Tracii
I know how you feel and it is awful when someone gets pregnant isn't it. Before I had my sucessful tmt I used to dread anyone I knew getting pregnant,especially when they put it in the christmas cards as an after thought! It still hurts now as I am waiting to have another go but nowhere near as badly as it did before which is lucky as in the last 3 months we have had 5 new babies in the immediate family and my sister is due twins any day now. I hope you are feeling a bit better now.
Jen
Hope you enjoyed your friends visit and did loads of fun stuff to try and take your mind off things a bit , at least for a little while. Good luck for your next tmt. I do the short protocol it is great!
I got AF this weekend and spent all sunday morning getting a blood test that should have taken 2 hours max only to be told my fsh is higher than ever so no go again. Pretty fed up as I have been having accupuncture and eating beans lentils and cabbage for what seems like ever. Last month it was just boarderline and we decided to wait. Now I wonder if that was our chance and we will ot get another go.So I guess I have to come to terms with it.
Hi to eveyone else in Limbo hope you are all feeling positive and ready to have a great week!!!!!

I am so sorry - I can't believe that they have gone up again especially given your huge effort to concentrate on doing everything possible. Life is so unfair!
Does this mean you have to wait till next month and another blood test? Your patience is a total credit to you.
Hang in there - fingers crossed and loads of hugs.

Hi All
Ellie sorry to hear about your High FSH...what was it? It's a shame cos it sounds like you have been living Zita's FSH diet to the max...you have put so much effort into it and to get a high result back is so disheartening.
But sometimes it can take a few months for all this to kick in so don't give up just yet. PMA and big hugs to you.
you didin't have any history on your profile. If you don't mind me asking have you been trying IVF long?
Hi to Yvee Tracii tiger Eskavon and anyone else I have mistakenly forgotten!
Hugs Abound to the limbo ladies.

Hi Jen
My Fhs was 13.5 this month, this is the fourth month I have tested and the highest it has been ,last month was 10.5 the lowest. I guess I thought I could do something to control my body and have some influence over the IVF process but in reality I don't think we can. It just makes me feel better to be doing something!
I have been doing IVF for 5 years, this will be my 6th cycle. We struck lucky in 2002 when we got a positive result which resulted in my beautiful twins. We had another go last year which obviously didn't work and this is going to be our very last try.So don't feel sorry for me as I already have more than I ever hoped for, DH is just keen to expand our family so I am really doing it for him. Not to say that with so many babies around in my family at the moment I wouldn't love my own little bundle.
Little P
You finally made the second trimester!!!! do you feel more confident now?
I can test again last month, they just asked me if I had been stressed which can push it up.I guess there will come a point when Mr T says don't bother any more but luckily not yet.
We have got lots to do in the next month so I am just going to get busy and not think about it until then!

HELLO LIMBO LADIES!
I joined this site a week ago and realise this site is going to SAVE me (no matter what happens from here) Not only do I realise how much support you guys offer but also the REALISATION that there isnt always a happy ending...it can be a long road. I needed to hear this as I was in denial of the possibility that it might not be sucessful.
SO having said all that, my EC was on th 15th Aug and transfer was cancelled due to OHSS. So they froze all emryos(3). So I too am in limbo?!!?
I believe I need to wait for 1 or 2 periods to happen before I reshedule for transfer..................... I had been feeling left out as everyone had these TICKER things and counting down to something and I having been hanging to count down to something the last couple of days since my OHSS has started to dye down and I can actually contemplate being pregnant without PAIN........Thanks for the thread guys...good luck to all xxxxx
