[friskyfish]

Frisky thank u so much means the world to me and im so sorry for the loss of your still born daughter i can imagine how hard that is...oh god its set me off againu r a very brave and strong lady to still keep going with ttc....im so happy u have got your cycles back normally and your thyroid is all under control defo going in the right direction by being more relaxed!!
Theres a defo baby boom my sister inlaw is pregnant and she is due the month before i was im very happy for them but its gonna b tuff on me we were going to shopping for baby things together etc....but i will b fine i always am just got to keep strong...hope u r sticking around again lots of bet u cant wait for dh on monday xxx

Thanks trolley

It was 10 years ago it happens, she was full term as well, it was tragic. 2 months after I fell pregnant again with my son. If it hadn't of happened, I wouldn't have Joseph now. So as cruel as it was, I believe maybe, everything happens for a reason.

After that I swore I never wanted to fall pregnant again, that I should be grateful for what I have x I am...but now I'm with my soul mate, it's the one thing missing...I desperately want to give him a baby

But you know how I'm feeling, so I won't go on.

I really hope you stay strong through this. It must be our lucky break soon enough xxx

 

[friskyfish]

And big hugs for having to deal with your sister in law. It must be awful. Bet she feels bad too Xx

Hey everyone

Am new on here so thought I would say hi....have read some posts that you have put up, you guys have been through so much....big hugs to you all.

I am 32 and TTC #1 ( and also trying to learn what all these abbreviations mean!!!!!) ...not been tryin actively for long

To say I am obsessed with peeing on my ovulation sticks is an understatement! I keep needing to know if I'm ovulating! I really need to calm down about it as its costing me a fortune! I really don't understand what is going on tho...I tested at day 6 and got a flashy smiley (cb advanced kit) and got flashy smileys for six days in a row after (plus evenings, some afternoons and even once in the night.....oops!!!!) then on day 7 nothing- just empty circle. No solid face ever came along- and due to my obsessive testing, I'm pretty sure I didn't miss it..!!!

So I have no idea what is up with me this month- it is the first time I have used the sticks....I thinki need to calm down about it next month!!

I appreciate I must sound like a mad women. I promise I am not....just really want to have our little bubba
Xx

I completely understand this kind of crazy. I think most of us have it. You probably DO need to calm down just a little though or else it's going to be a long, hard ride honey. It might be a good idea to get on fertility friend and do a few months of charting to get a sense of where your cycles are. That really helps! Temping also confirms O so try that too. Good luck sweetie!!!

Hello everybody!
I am reporting all news good and bad from RE office.

My family left and now I am back to my daily life. baby making worries are on!
WE went to a new RE and she told us about mucous and sperm interaction. Hormonal problems may make it hostile to sperm. Or sperm can cause problems to mucous. She can see in the lab if the sperm is alive in my mucous.I t cost 100 euro for this test. My Dh always wanted this test. But chose IVF it doesn't matter now.

She also checked my June CD25 hormone test and she noticed they were little low. (prev dr. told me they were good). Some women get preg. with levels like that. Maybe I am the sensitive one? Spotting before and after period could be the sign of hormonal problems. Now I am worry about natural IVF cycle success.

Dr. told us about my DH age and sperm DNA. He may have problems too.

Dr. is very much against transfering 2 embryos, because of multiple high risk. She told us that human body is build to carry one baby. I dissagree, why do we have two ovaries and two tubes? Why one embryo splits to two?

She told us that stress should not be a problem to conceive. if you BD 3 times a week, you're doing good. I beleave that stress can mess up your sex hormones and make your period and O irregular.

I liked that my RE showed some pictures and explained very well about procedures and female's anatomy.

I didn't like that she didn't study my med history very well. She didn't know about my hysteroscopy and I had to remind her about my ruptured appendix.

IVF price in her office is 3times higher than in the other clinic. My dr.and 3 other RE does 100 natural and 900 stimulated cycles a year.
I made an appoinment on Monday for an ultrasound and blood tests in the cheaper clinic. This clinic is closed in the weekend. I am very sure, that I'll O next week before Friday. WE are taking a chance and doing a natural IVF cycle.
Hope we'll see one eggy growing nicely on Monday.

Wow, that's all interesting info. I never thought about some of that. Looks like you O'd today according to your chart but obviously we'll know more with the next two days temps. Good luck sweetie and I hope this natural IVF cycle is "THE ONE"!!!

 

[dovkav123]

My natural cycle IVF treatment failed. Dr. couldn't find an egg. WE did IUI and we left the clinic with a tiny hope. WE need lots of magic...for this cycle.

 

[panda fan]

Hi Everyone. Sorry I have been gone for a bit. I am trying hard to relax. I started Lupron and it does seem to give me some anxiety issues and minor headaches. Today has been very bad with the anxiety due to stress at work that set it off. I can't sleep and I feel sick with worry about job things. Wish I could just take time off. I was on vacation last week and it was hard to come back. However, baseline ultrasound was good this morning and I start stims on Thursday. So far so good with my first IVF cycle. The estimated date for retrieval is still Sept 9

Trolley, I am so so sad to hear about your loss. There is nothing I can say except we are here for you when you need to write about it. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I hope your physical recovery is quick and I really do believe you will have your miracle.

Dov, I'm sorry your natural IVF did not work out this cycle and ttc I completely understand how you are feeling with the sadness and frustration. Glad you are taking a break to have some fun.

Welcome to the newcomers Joyce and Justme and Frisky it's good to hear from you again.

Fruitful, I am so happy for you! It sounds like your baby is getting great care and I hope you are able to be home together soon!

Panda,
I hope you'll see many nice follicles probably by next week on your scan.
How do you feel starting your stims?
Best wishes!

 

[panda fan]

Hi Dov!

How are you? Have you decided on your next step? Will you try the natural IVF again? I am hoping you did not have to pay full price for the procedure. And I know chances are much lower now but I will still be hoping for you this month. I will pray that that egg was hiding or just delayed and your iui still has a shot (no pun intended)!

I am feeling okay. Besides the one day of anxiety (which was set off by a stressful situation at work and did go away with rest) I have only had minor things I've noticed like a little tired or sometimes I'll be hot when I'm usually never hot cause I like the heat. Nothing bad and things I probably wouldn't notice if I wasn't thinking about how I am feeling due to the hormones.

So far I haven't noticed any pain or feelings of swelling in the ovaries but only about halfway through the stims now so that may still come. I have my first ultrasound to look at follicles tomorrow so I am hoping there's lots of little ones starting. I'll let you know how it goes!

 

[panda fan]

Update: Had my first ultrasound this morning since starting the stim. Have 7 measurable follicles and a bunch of smaller ones. Don't know for sure, but I think it's an okay count for Day 6. I have another ultrasound on Thursday. I can't believe it's only days until possible retrieval. I'm excited and nervous.

How's everyone doing that's in their 2ww? Dov? Joyce? Justme? Frisky? Wishing everyone good luck.

Fruitful and Trolley, check in when you can! Thinking of you both!

 

[friskyfish]

Morning panda
Nice to hear you are feeling excited. Is the follicle thing to do with ivf? Sorry, I've not read through every post, so am a bit behind!
Fingers crossed for you xxx

I'm officially out the 2ww from Saturday.....good news is, af was here right on cue, which means now, my past 4 cycles have all Been regular

Hope everyone else is holding up ok xx

 

[dovkav123]

TTC baby,
Sorry AF came. You have hope! Your RE appointment is almost here. Get ready for it with a long list of questions. Maybe you can do CD25 blood test. That will tell if You O'ed and if your progesterone levels are good. Good luck.

Panda,
You had a 6 day scan! Please ask your RE to measure those follicles and write them down, anyone from 14mm-21mm are pritty much matured. A follicle should grow 2mm a day. Good luckand keep as updated?
Did you need to take BC? or Lupron . (in order to shut your cycle) before starting stims?

Friskyfish welcome to 2ww. keep yourself busy with things you love and time will go by fast. Your cycles are regular now. Congrats! Any improvement will take you closer to BFP. I hope this cycle is the one!

I tested 12dpo and 13dpo was negative. I am not upset. I had no hope... No egg was found, and no embryo was implanted. I supposed to come today for a blood test on 14dpo, but I didn't go. My heart tells me I am 99% not pregnant. First time in my life I am waiting for my AF to show up and I look forward to start another natural lVF cycle treatment. I know i'll succeed, if not this cycle, than the next one.
I quit progesterone yesterday.
If I am 1% preggo, incase, I am not drinking alcohol and I know I had always good progesterone levels without added hormones in the past.

Yes, panda, I'll pay only half of the price, because an egg was not retrieved.

 

[panda fan]

Frisky, that's great news about your cycles! That must be such a relief! Congrats and I'm excited for you!

 

[panda fan]

Yes, dov, took Lupron starting the cycle before. Nurse measured each follicle and gave me measurements. It's very interesting! I was reading have 8 to 15 is ideal range. Too little and not a great chance, too many and quality is often low. Well, Thursday I was disappointed that I hadn't seen much of an increases since the appt on Tuesday, but they had me come back in this morning and I was so surprised! So many more had grown! I have 13 measurable (10 on the right and 3 on left so my right side is a little sore) and of those 7 were mature and many were close. I take my trigger shot tonight and I have egg retrieval on Sunday.

I'm excited but so nervous, so many steps where disappointment can happen. I feel good though that so far I seem to be doing okay and reacting to meds well. She said lining looked good, too, and that's important.

Oh and for Frisky: yes, they measure your follices for IUI and IVF to see how many are growing and might release an egg. They give you a stim shot (hormones) to make more grow than just the usual one or two that grow naturally each month. This is my first IVF cycle so still learning about it as I go.

 

[panda fan]

Dov, good to hear you are starting another natural IVF cycle soon. Very excited for you. Definitely takes a few tries sometimes with these things and I am trying to remember that about my medicated cycle, too. So many factors! I wish you lots of luck and healthy eggs
