Any Aussie ladies starting IVF?

[miranda007]

Hi,
Haven't been on for a while. The second egg collection was cancelled. Right before the day 10 of injections I had my 2nd ultrasound and as soon as I heard the dr on the other end calling in the afternoon I knew something was wrong. She said not enough over a certain size and she knows we can do better. So we sat out and started injections right after I got my period. I'm so bloated from back to back injection rounds and urgh.
So we're 7 days into injections and it's my 36th birthday today - and my little sister and her husband meet up for lunch and as soon as I sit down she says so excitedly I've got some news. I thought oh no please not. Yep!! They're pregnant! (She's 31) she just kept going on about how it happened as soon as she came off the pill, rambling about the pink line, showing us the video where they told my parents giving them a Grandfather bottle of port. It was such shit!! My husband is putting his hand on my leg under the table and I couldn't look at him. I was fighting back tears the whole time - I had to excuse myself and went to the loo and burst into tears. Asked the waiter if I could stand in the kitchen freezer to cool my eyes. Ahhhh. The worst thing is she knows we've been trying for a year and there wasn't any mention WHATSOEVER about oh I know this must be hard for you to hear. They don't know that I've been doing IVF but I'm sure my mum has told them. Nothing!!!! It was all about them. And I know they should be happy but a little consideration. That is my sister for you. She's only 7 weeks too. I'm super pissed off at my Mum who knows everything - I just feel like she should have given me a heads up would have been nice. I've cried all afternoon!!! Eyes are so red. I know we will get there but it's just been such a long process. Great birthday!

That's great. Were they ok with transferring two embryos? I know some clinics can be a little funny about that.

All is well in my world, not much really to update on. We are looking at doing another cycle in the next few months and doing the PGD testing on them just to know what is going on I'll post on here when i have news xx

 

[Miss Redknob]

Well my appt went well on Monday. My kidney spec has said the next time I have a headache, seeing stars or severe swelling I will be admitted for 24hrs and they will put me on beta blockers and monitor me to ensure that my BP doesn't crash and I pass out. I'm down to see him and my OB weekly now so will keep you updated

Eveclo - That's great you are thinking of doing another cycle!! We did PGD so happy to help you with any questions Who are you looking at going through? xx

Congratulations on your second little miracle lovely lady. I hope that everything is going wonderfully for your little family.

Thank you so much, I haven't actually chosen a clinic yet, i have had one appointment with Genea and I am also having one with Westmead so we'll see how they go. I haven't been ready to do anything but i'm starting to feel ready so we will see how we go. I have an appointment Wednesday with the immune doctor so we'll see if he has anymore ideas after our last tests.

xx

Ah damn my reply just wiped.. We went PGD with Genea. loved them.. couldn't fault it.. the waiting for the results takes.. so .. long.. a month.. it feels so long!

I've followed your journey a bit on here and you've had a longer one than others on here.. if that's possible.. It doesn't seem fair.. I really very soon will be your time.. You keep so positive.. Ok don't get annoyed and you've probably gone down this path.. but my friend had natural killer cells and in the end she got tested for the MTHFR gene mutation.. your case is probably different but thought I'd mention.

I'm probably going to be 50 and still on this thread Miranda! Haha

Thanks for your info on genea. I found them quite good and I saw Alison gee who seems lovely. Thank you so much for mentioning, I'd never be annoyed! I have been tested for MTHFR and it was not an issue for me more the anti thyroid antibodies, natural killer cells & a DQ alpha match with my DH but to be honest infertility is the only bad thing in my life so I can't complain. thank you xox

 

[miranda007]

Ahh good!! I'll follow your story on your blog. You will get there at some point. Man U really deserve it!

Thanks heaps Miranda! Had an appointment with Dr Gee at Genea and I love her. She was super thorough and onto it. Having a lap hopefully at the end of this month, so that might tell us a little more about what is going on inside. Hope you are well!

 

[miranda007]

I've heard she's amazing at Genea. They are so thorough!! Hope u get some answers after they do the lap.
I'm 22 weeks.. I still can't believe I'm pregnant. I've tried not to be anxious but it's really hard to enjoy it.. I'm trying! I think I'll believe it when I'm holding it in my arms. I'm sure it's just me protecting myself in case something happens.. Like you do with IVF.
Look forward to hearing u getting some answers from Genea.

Eveclo... been.thinking of you and how you are!!! Hope all is well xx hope this is your year

Hi ladies, just wanted to update I've recently had my laparoscopy which showed moderate endometriosis mainly around my bladder and the pouch of Douglas. It could definitely be a reason as to why our little embryos aren't sticking around. It's been removed and I'm just recovering but I just thought I'd check in and let you girls know. next step is an ICSI cycle with PGD to see what we've got and fingers crossed we have some normals that we can use for a FET with immune therapy.
