Hello everyone!
WE have a heat wave in Germany around 37 will spyke today. Yesterday was hot too. It was wonderful feeling when I felt some rain sprinkled on my skin. It was a very cooling moment! I am cooking nothing, eating veggies and berries and cold smoked fish. Last night at 1 am it was 30 degrees, beautiful, romantic night we had a dinner in the restaurant by the river with a vew of the castles.
I am on 7 dpo and FF states I am on 4 dpo. I have very mild Migraines.

I called my RE office and they told me to contact them when my period starts and they'll make an appointment on 8CD for ultrasound.
I was very unhappy when I found out that my clinic is closed on the weekend and if my O falls in those days, we''ll wait for another IVF cycle!!! Are they nuts? August cycle O is falling around the weekend.

I am happy I made an appoinment with another RE one month ago, my friend recommended. They offered first free consultation. This clinic is opene 10 hours a day and of course they perform IVF in the weekend by appointment only. But the prices are double.
.

trolly will you know the gender of your baby soon?
Panda, any more news about your IVF?
ttc baby, your chart looks great!

Yes, i was so so so excited when i saw this. I didn't see it til today though, i wasn't on bnb over the weekend. I just knew it was for her too. her chart was looking too good for it not to be!

 

[panda fan]

dovkav, excited for you to begin! so soon! that's really crazy about not being open on weekends! how frustrating!

ttcbabyisom, i'm not saavy about charts, but I know spikes are good past O so keeping fingers crossed for you!

I had my period and spoke to IVF nurse. I start Lupron on Aug 13. I'm very nervous about side effects. Anyone know anyone or have any of you taken this before? It's supposed to prevent me from ovulating before they retrieve the eggs but it also makes you feel menopausal. UGH!

My baseline is scheduled for Aug 26 and that's when I'd start the Gonal and they'd begin monitoring until egg retrieval (approx Sept 9). It all seems like such a long process right now. I'm hoping it goes smoothly and I feel okay with all the meds. Trusting my doctor this round and letting her decide what's best since she's been the only one consistently correct so far.

 

[dovkav123]

ttc baby, your chart looks fabulous! You are the next BFP girl!
Panda, I love your plan for IVF, dates and everything going smoothly for you!
I have never taken lupron, I don't know about side effects
My new appoinmtent is on August 15th 9-10 CD, and the old RE appointment is on CD8. I'll go to the old one for the ultrasound (if they will prognose my O in the weekend, and they kick me out), than I hope my new RE can squeeze me in for IVF for that weekend
One advantage I have about natural IVf is that I can repeat a treatment next cycle, compare to regular IVF, when one needs to wait for 3 months. You have frostes. And I read that ladies have higher success second round and I know why, the body is back to normal after firtility meds. Are you going to freeze any?
In the brochure states that I'll need to take progesteron after transfer. Why? My hormones are OK.
Follicle produces progesterone, perhaps it can be damaged during retrieval, my progesteron may be low. I don't know. I havn't talked to old RE yet. The receptionist was very unfriendly and he didn't have time to answer my questions. It is another reason why I am happy to visit my new RE.

Well I don't know anything about Lupron so hopefully it's not too bad for you. I can't even imagine going to the next level on clomid with already feeling that bad on the lowest dose. Geesh. The things we go through to get our babies! We should be rewarded soon!!!

You are sweet but today's temp dip makes me nervous and not as sure as I was yesterday.
Sounds like you have lots coming up and I hope it all goes as smooth as possible and you get your baby from it all!!!

Hi ladies im sorry to be the bearer of bad news but we have lost our little miracledevasted is an understatement....

I had some brown spotting last week and epu suggested i have a scan to make sure everything was ok and unfortunatly the baby had only grown to 8 weeks and had no heartbeat
Im having an operation on friday to remove the baby as it doesnt want to come out which couldnt get any worse really....
Im completely drained and numb and feel sick and just need this week over with so i can start to heal my broken heart

 

[Fruitful]

Aww, Trolley Dolly, that's so sad . There's nothing I could say that would make you feel better, but I'm sending you lots and lots of long-distance hugs We'll all be thinking of you and your chap at this sad time. The prospect of having to go to hospital must be very difficult, emotionally speaking - please let us know how it goes.

I've also had a bit of a hard time recently, as our little one ended up arriving much earlier than planned, which was all quite traumatic. Our wee one is doing pretty well, all things considered, but it's been a rough NICU ride and we'll still be there for a while.

Take extra-special care of yourself, Trolley. Hugs to everyone else as well.

How early did he come to this world?
You'll see the time will go by very quickly. He will get stronger soon and you'll take him home. He is in good hands.
Sending you best wishes!

oh my gosh, i'm so so sorry Trolley.
This is the absolute worst thing to have to go through. I've been here twice now and it's just horrid. If you need to talk, i'm here. You can pm me anytime. Or we can talk openly, it's up to you.

Sorry to hear this Fruitful but you take care of your little tiny miracle and hopefully everything turns out great and you get to take your baby home soon!!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

I need a break. I'm done with the disappointments. DH and I have a concert at the end of the month out of town and it's going to be a 2-day drunk fest. We made the decision to take this month off for this...one of the reasons, there are many other...i would be testing again right at that time and i don't want to be worried that my drinking could cause damage to our unborn baby should i conceive this cycle so i'm not doing it. NOT going to worry about it. I'm tired. I'm depressed. All i do is cry off and on. I know in a few days i'll be back to my normal self (my new normal anyway) and i'll be sad we're not trying but it's just one month. 28 days. Not that long in the grand scheme of things. I will not do clomid this next cycle, no temping, no peeing on sticks, just DTD when we want this month (not around O days though) and just having fun. Then we'll start fresh with the September cycle. So I'll have that cycle to up my clomid and be monitored and then if that doesn't work, I will know the very next month is our specialist appointment so will have that to look forward to.

Thanks for all your support through this!

Hi Everyone

I'm new here and also 33
Me and my OH have been TTC conceive #1 since August but mainly September last year so it has almost reached a year now

I have prolactinoma so take Bromocriptine to keep the high prolactin levels down.
My periods are now regular and I ovulate every month, I exercise, we both take vitamins, try to eat healthy and we BD every other day making sure to BD the days leading up to OV

So far no luck

I was really exited at the start , I expected to get a BFP within 3-6 months or at least by now. But now I just feel so fed up and especially when I see everyone having babies around me

I have been pregnant before in 2001 which ended in MC at 11 weeks .
I think the worst thing is the not knowing, not knowing if I will ever get pregnant again .. It really is heartbreaking, frustrating and emotionally draining at times


At the moment I am having my 2WW, I am trying not to think about it this month, every little symptom I think may or may not be early pregnancy I just ignore because I’ve done it too many times, got a bit exited because I felt so sure that I would get a BFP only for AF to appear .. I don’t want to build my hopes up yet again so I’ll see how this month goes..

Best of luck to all of you I will keep you posted

I hope everyone else is doing ok xx

 

[friskyfish]

Hi ladies, I'm back again....I've been popping on here every now & again when I can get online, to see how your all doing.

Fruitful, firstly congratulations Wishing you lots of love & hope you can bring your little miracle home soon Xx

Ttc, I hope you enjoy your drunkfest, let your hair down & have some fun. I know it's been tough...we can sometimes forget the things that are going around us as we become so obsessed with all this. Think I'm gonna be taking a break from it soon also.

Trolley, your news had me in tears. I don't even know what to say. I remember the heartache I had when my first daughter was born stillborn.....you think things will never get better or easier. But with time they do. I know that probably means nothing to you right now. But please, stay strong xxx My love goes out to you Xx

To anyone I've missed out, sorry.....I've not read through all the posts since I last posted.
I'm still TTC, just in the process of having blood tests done for hormones.
Remember my heavy long periods I was having, well, I have an underactive thyroid. So they think that was the cause. Good news is, my past 4 cycles have all been regular, every 29 day's...So fingers crossed that's a good sign. Husband still working away at sea, so it's tricky gettin the timing right.
Friends around me falling pregnant left, right & centre. Which is disheartening.
I have decided to take a more relaxed approach now. It's been getting me really down. So I'm gonna try and not obsess over symptoms & get my hopes up. Going to just try and keep busy during 2ww.
I really thought I was pregnant last time, had every symptom....I'm not doing that Rob myself anymore.
Hubby is home Monday, so I'm looking forward to seeing seeing him.

Stay strong ladies
Lots of love Xx

 

[Trolley_Dolly]
