Any Aussie ladies starting IVF?

[Miss Redknob]

hit the Tim Tams too hard lol

Miss Red congratulations darl. what wonderful news...

Wish, i have had a bit of nausea, bloating and cramps on and off. Sometimes it feels like AF is still lurking I am also hungry as all hell. Today in the car on the way to see one of my clients I got a sudden hunger pang and pulled into Hungry jacks to buy a cheeseburger. I would never ever do this normally!!!!

Kirs_t the nervousness doesn't seem to go away for me. I am hanging for the scan but at the same time I am anxious about it. there is not much we can do except stay hopeful

Maddy how did the BT go today?

 

[Miss Redknob]

Thanks Aleja xxx

 

[Take2]

Oh yeah that's right, Maddy any news? I hope you got your BFP

 

[Maddy40]

Hi ladies. BT yesterday was 7dpiui so no BFP test, only progesterone. My level was 78 so no 'extra' support needed. As far as I understand it, there's more progesterone testing Monday and if levels haven't dropped, a BFP blood test on Wednesday. No feelings either way ATM.

 

[Miss Redknob]

Sending you lots of

Hi ladies , be careful what u wish for ! I wasn't feeling any symptoms till about weeks 11-12 & before that I was like I wish I felt sick or something so I know bub is in there , then bang all of a sudden I was sick most of the day & had bad headaches all from around weeks 12-16 & it was horrible , add to that all the worry I went through from the parvo virus, it settled down after week 16 but still felt queasy on & off till around week 20 then I was ok apart from feeling tired & having sore gums that bleed evertime i brush (usually never bleed ) & nose bleeds ( never usually get ) & the sciatic pain & then was pretty good up until around week 30 , but now I've been queasy on & off again , the nose bleeds are back , I'm constipated again , I'm waking up to wee 5 times a night & getting really bad leg cramps - oh & on top of all of that comes the worry when bub is sleeping a lot & I don't feel her move for a few hours ! - lol just a heads up on what u all have to look forward too , well I hope not , there is still hope you don't get any of this , I actually had a great pain & sickness free pregnancy with my daughter in 2004-2005 , I'm not sure if it was cause I was younger I was 25 or it's just cause every pregnancy is different !

Hey girls, do you mind if I join you? I've been lurking here for a couple of months but my last Ivf cycle was cancelled due to poor response and wanted to at least get to egg collection this cycle before I dropped in on you guys. I'm only 32 but my amh is really low so last cycle I was on 150 puregon and only had two follies show on the scan. This cycle I was bumped up to 250 and had egg collection yesterday. 17 were retrieved, 12 were injected with my mans boys and the lab called today to say 9 had defiantly fertilised another two look like they were heading that way and possibly a third. I'm going through hunter Ivf! We are doing a five day transfer ( if at least one makes it ) with one embryo only as I'm high risk for miscarrige and wouldn't be able to carry twins. I want to say a massive congratulations to all of you who have got your bfp's! I've been cheering you guys on from the sidelines xox

Hey chook! Newbies always welcome here! 17 eggs is an awesome result as is the fertilzation results! Keep us updated on the progression how exciting for you guys!!!

DH had his Christmas party tonight....he is now passed out on the couch with the dog laying on him. So gross. Hoping it's just a symptom but he has been a MILLION times more annoying since I've been pregnant....Especially drunk.... I even told him not to kiss me cause it feels like someone is rubbing a wire brush on my face ahahahaha. Sometimes i feel sorry for him because he is really sweet. He sent me flowers to work yesterday, and he sends me txt messages three pages long about our utopian future... yet still he is living under my skin at the moment. .... Anyone relate?

 

[Chook]

Thank you wish! I'm sure it's just the hormones making your hubby rub you the wrong way lol. You poor thing. I send mine fishing when I need a break and I'm not even pregnant

 

[Take2]

Well wish as you know I'm not preg and my dear partner, who is the most patient loving man alive, drives me feckin balmy lately! I'm still blaming hormones, haven't been on meds for 2 weeks either as you know, lol! I remember when preg with keyara and her dad would come home after drinks with the boys, my god I could have moved to another country for the 9 months quite happily lol
Welcome chook, you must be so excited, keep us updated on how it's all progressing and good luck!
I'm down the coast this weekend, so good to get away, staying with the inlaws and my daughter is having such a good time playing with her cousins, so not fair she doesn't have a sibling. On the plus side I had car sickness driving down, normally only get car sick when prego... Mind you according to FF haven't even ovulated yet..sigh!
Have a good weekend ladies

 

[aleja]

Welcome Chook��
17 eggs with low AMH is an awesome result. I hope your transfer goes well. You may even get some frosties too.

Wish, is your DH usually a big drinker or are you feeling less tolerant of him?
We went to a wedding last week and DH got pretty drunk too as he was taking advantage of me not being able to drink anymore! I am hoping this is a one off

Taylah as exhausting as the MS sounds later in pregnancy I hope I get that far to be able to experience it!

Maddy that's a really good progesterone level

 

[wishandwait]

We were both big drinkers hahaha! Nah not the every night kind but at functions he gets pretty loose. DH is a bit of a crowd pleaser ans he doesn't think very hard when he's had a skin full. Last wedding we went to he did the 'worm' straight into the band and smashed the keyboard *awkward* as it was a work mate of mine. Another time he was at a bucks party at crown casino and lost his room key so he caught a taxi home....to bendigo.... A two and a half hour trio that cost three hundred bucks. He's Jekyll and Hyde. Never aggressive just massively STOOPID. Anyway. He's cut right back, third time since we found out and once was his 30th so I guess I should give him a break!!
Take sooooo jealous of your holiday!! And Taylah too!! I still have my things packed for Africa laid out on the spare bed. I've told myself I'll put it all away Monday week after the 12 week scan cause it will be the nursery. Thinking we might go to Bali for a baby moon in march... And I could never get cross hairs on ff or I would and they wouldn't match my ovulation tests so there may be something more to that car sickness you never know take!!
Hope you bfp girls are going well! Xx

Hey girls, the lab called this morning to let me know I still have 8 in the running. They are right were they should be for day two but one has some fragmentation, the other 7 have no signs of fragmentation. I never really allowed myself to consider how hard this part would be. I'm so nervous. I know because we are pushing to day 5 we will start losing more from now on. Hope you are all well x

 

[Take2]

Fingers crossed they all get their chook, easy to say but try not to stress, try to find something to distract yourself

 

[Miss Redknob]

:wave: Chook, welcome!!

You have great numbers, like Take said find something that can distract you

 

[Miss Redknob]

Hi ladies, just wondering if any of you and your DH are considering storing your baby's cord blood?? If so who are you looking at going through?

 

[aleja]

Hi chook, it is very nerve-wrecking waiting to see how many will make it. But with 8 you should get a couple of good ones.

Wish your hubby sounds like a bit of a party animal! Oh boy how life will change once the little one comes along

Miss Red I have heard of this procedure but I hadn't thought about it. I hear lots more couples are doing it.
I cant think that far ahead right now! i am taking one day at a time.
I am thinking of going to GP to have another BT .. Just for piece of mind as my scan is still 10 days away!

 

[Miss Redknob]

How many BT's did your clinic do? I am having my 2nd one on Wednesday and then should be having a scan around the same time as you

 

[Maddy40]

Has everyone had a good weekend? Wish a babymoon sounds wonderful. Plleassse get good travel insurance that covers pregnancy. Also if you are considered high risk at all then you may find it hard to get really good coverage. I think Charteris has a rep as one of the best ones for preggo ladies.

And be aware there is only one clinic (Bali International Medical Centre) that can really deal with any major emergencies and even then more serious cases are medically evacuated to Australia.

Oops now I've probably scared you....sorry!
