That's awesome red couldn't ask for better than that x

 

[Kirs_t]

Maddy- congratulations!! That is just the best news xxx another beautiful Christmas present!

And miss red- brilliant levels! Are u sure you're not having twins?!!

Also just wondering what progesterone levels should be at this time?? Mine dropped hugely this week, as expected cos I stopped pessaries, but clinic didn't seem too concerned? I think mine was in the 40s too cxx

 

[wishandwait]

Hey kirsty my progesterone was quite low I was worried. I asked my ob and she wasn't concerned at all, she just said 'well you're pregnant now aren't you?' Haha I didn't know what to think of that

 

[Miss Redknob]

I would love twins

I asked my clinic today why it dropped so much and they said as long as it is over 30 you are fine.

Congratulation Maddy that's awesome. Wow a surge of BFPs. Hopefully some of this good fertility luck comes my way soon!

 

[Maddy40]

Miss Red that's basically what my clinic said. I'm having pessaries as a precaution, they didn't want to risk my numbers dropping any more before more bloods on Friday. Those are whopping HCG numbers, can't wait until mine hit TRIPLE digits!

 

[Miss Redknob]

Sending all the your way now Take xx

Hope the pesseries help Maddy xx

2013 will be everyone's year I can feel it! You too Take! Can't wait to hear your bfp news.!

It's still 34 degrees here, no air con...lucky breakfast club is on or I may have been taking my camping chair to the freezer section at woollies.

Wow congratulations Maddy, great news all around !

Afm - bleeding has stopped thank god got a busy day today going for a scan & MW appointment !

 

[Chook]

Congratulations maddy! That's fantastic news!!!
So glad the bleeding has stopped taylah. You must have been so scared.
Fantastic numbers redknob! Congratulations.
Hope everyone else is going great!
Well I went in for transfer Tuesday morning. I still had 6 embryos but none had made it to blast. They transferred one morula. The lab called yesterday to say of the other 5 a couple had made it to blast but were all poor quality and not suitable for freezing. Feeling pretty disheartened at the moment. I really hope this little embie is stubborn.

 

[Miss Redknob]

Glad to hear the bleeding has stopped Taylah xx

Good luck Chook, sending you lots of

Hang in there chook, its quite common for the majority to not make it to blast I'm told, thats why my clinic does 2 day transfers, not that I had any success but I have 6 in the freezer so I cant complain. As they say it only takes one. Fingers crossed for you

 

[Take2]

Oh and Taylah, let us know how the scan goes, good to hear the bleeding has stopped!

 

[aleja]

Hi gals
Firstly congrats to Maddy .. You did it!!!!
Wonderful news x

Miss Red did you have 2 embies transferred? That's a huge beta!

Taylah your resting is paying off. That is great news

Me: I freaked myself out yesterday. I went to my GP to get a 3rd BT to tie me over till my scan next week. I am 6weeks + and beta came back at 36384. The GP said that's good for 6 weeks but when I did my own calculations my doubling rate had slowed waaayyy down . So of course I panicked and rang the clinic this morning. I was reassured that as betas get higher they slow down. I can't wait for scan as really that's the only reliable way of seeing what's happening in there!

Chook, you little emby may be just fine x

 

[Kirs_t]

Aleja- I know what you mean about the panic! I have my third beta on Monday but today all nausea and symptoms disappeared. I am terrified something has gone wrong! But your clinic is right- that is a great number for 6 weeks and I think we will both be ok.... We Just need those scans to reassure us! I am 6 weeks on Saturday but don't get a scan till 8+3. I hope the week flys by and you get to see your lil beanie soon x

Anyone else have days where the ms disappears?

Taylah- how are you feeling? Hope youre resting up and doing ok!

Lot of love to everyone xxx

 

[Miss Redknob]

Aleja my clinic only transfers 1 cause of my age (29). I only got 2 embryos out of 18 eggs so I only had one frostie Having a scan on Wednesday ill be 6+3

 

[Taylah]

Hi ladies, so glad to see everyone is still going great !
Chook try to stay positive , it only takes one sticky one !
Aleja - that's why my clinic doesn't do bt's only hpt's because us crazy women get caught up in the numbers etc & worry over nothing , don't worry it's just the Start of many panics to come , I speak from experience - lol
Kris-t my ms would come & go until about week 12 then it was everyday till week 16 !

As for me , I had a midwife appointment yesterday that went well just been told to take it easy ! Also had 3d/4d scan done yesterday which to be honest was disappointing because it looked really distorted the one I had done at 25 weeks was so much clearer, 33 weeks is too late - it has something to do with the room around the baby - the more room (fluid) the clearer the picture plus it didnt help her face was squished against my placenta most of the time but was still nice because she was doing more real baby things this time like yawning , smiling & rubbing her eyes , it was also worth it just for reassurance after my fall.
All the bleeding seemed to have stopped by yesterday but I had a little more bleeding today along with a few pains so I'm hoping that goes away soon so I don't end up back in hospital! I'm so glad I have my Doppler it has been a sanity keeper for me whenever I'm worried I just listen to her nice strong heartbeat & it usually gets her moving around too because the sound echo's back to bub ! I will be selling it after bub arrives if anyone is interested which will be in about 6-7 weeks so perfect timing for you guys as it works from about 12-14 weeks onwards !

 

[Hopeful Cat]

Hello ladies,
I have never posted in any of these forums before but felt it was time I joined in. My DH and I have been TTC for 13 months or so now with not even a glimpse of a BFP. We are currently in Melbourne, Australia.

We were referred to a fertility specialist because I have polycistic ovaries and possibly have the PCOS. ( I had a cyst burst 2 years back which is how I found out). We decided to get a SA test for my husband also since he had undescended testicles that weren't corrected until he was 8!!!! Well the results came back yesterday and there were NO SPERM. We are pretty shattered. I am only 25 and he is 26, married for almost 2 years.
It just shouldn't be this hard to bring a baby into the world.

Anyway. He had blood tests done today and is scheduled to go in for another SA in January before we do anything else.

This just sucks!

Welcome Hopeful Cat, fingers crossed things improve for you, must have been a shock. This is a great thread for advice and support with all us girls having different fertility issues. Most ladies here now have their BFP minus a couple of us, me included. Another BFN this morning for me. What's the next step for you guys now. I'm hoping the good fertility luck running through this thread soon rubs off for the both of us!
