Aw that's so nice that you feel him being active! Not good about your little girl. Hope she feels better soon! we thought about going to Rocky but we found life fertility clinic in Bris and have been happy with them so far - apart from them not transferring 2 embryos like we want but that's everywhere I guess. Work is one thing I am worried about. They don't know we are going through this because we started before I started there and I am 4 weeks away from completing my 6 month probation so I don't want to tell them yet. I don't have to do all my scans there but my last one has to be there which is ok because I will be in Bris ready for the transfer anyway. I don't want to get my hopes up but I really hope first try is the charm!! X

A friend of mine went there with Dr Stirling. She said they were great. Possibly because of your age and no previous attempts that is why they will go with 1. My clinic only puts back 2 if you are older and have had failed attempts. Our first cycle was a negative, second we fell pregnant but miscarried (I am a strong believer in my body not tolerating embryos after stim cycles). But both our frozen transfers have worked. We were always told the first cycle is a bit of a trial. See how your body responds and goes. I have PCOS and was on 125 Gonal as they did not want me to over stim. We got 4 eggs (3 usable good quality day 5 embryos) Second time they increased it and we got 10 (5 usable good quality 5 day embryos). So we still have frosties if we ever want to use them. Pretty sure our family is complete after this baby. We only ever planned for 2 kids if we could ever have them.

Fingers crossed your scan goes well. Keep posted with yoir journey. Look forward to your updates!

That's who I have! Dr stirling - so far so good with them so we will see how I respond. It's such a large amount of money for the first to be a trail but have to believe they know what they are doing. When we did gonal for our tsi cycles we were on as much as 150iu and barely got 2 mature follies I think that's why I am on 300 this time. Just sucks they won't consider more embryos because of our age when our history with clomid and gonal have proven I don't respond well and dr stirling said I have very resistant pcos oh well!! I will keep you posted! X

 

[Jillie89]

I only ever responded on clomid 300mg after ovarian drilling. Damn stubborn bodies! So much money for a gamble. I always remembered thinking, this money would have been great for a holiday, but instead I get a chance of having kids when people can have them for free. Wouldn't change it for the world now. Was worth every cent.

Good luck!!!

 

[Farrar_xo]

Yeah I often catch myself being negative and saying why do we have to spend all this money for a baby when others can have one for free! But I have to bring myself back to reality and realize this is just what we have to do and it's too important to us to not do it. I just can't understand why other people can have elective unnecessary surgery and they only have to sign a waiver to have it yet I can't determine how many embryos are transferred into my body! Hoping first round works a treat and we just have to do this once - we are very ok with one child only!! Im not sure I have it in me to do this again!

Hi Jillie, sounds like the little one is nice and strong and active in there
Hope your daughter is feeling better today

Farrar, I am using Life and I absolutely have loved them so far. Dr Glen Stirling is amazing - wish I keep as my normal Dr haha.. fingers crossed your first cycle is a success. I was only able to transfer one as well, me being 29 (30 in October) and he still called me a baby in age haha

Well my big news as of today 5dp5dt I just got my BFP !! It was very light on a FRER so hanging out till tomorrow to do another one. But in nearly 4 years of trying this is the first time I've seen any form of a pink line on a FRER and I am so excited!!!

That is FAN FREAKING FANTASTIC!!! Congratulations!!! Strong bubba in there growing for you tell us how you go with the test tomorrow!

 

[wantingbubba7]

Thanks Jillie, I'm sooooo excited!!! I looked back at your tests and it kinda looks similar to your day 5 one at night

Fingers crossed its darker tomorrow eeeeek

 

[Jillie89]

And I was worried that it was a chemical then time came for blood test and my levels were high. Seems like so long ago now. When will you have a blood test?

 

[wantingbubba7]

Friday the 31st is my official test day. Seems so far away.
Yeah your number was massive for a first beta

 

[Farrar_xo]

Wantingbubba YAYAYAYAYAY!!! That is so exciting!!! I am so happy for you! Can't wait to hear how your beta goes!! Hoping for an extra sticky bean for you! Glenn is good hey! He is down to earth which is what we wanted in a doctor. And the girls have been so helpful. So nice to hear a success story from there as well (not that there isn't any but you know what I mean) I'm getting excited for mine after hearing your news!!

 

[wantingbubba7]

Thanks Farrar, my Beta cant come fast enough. It seems so far away haha
Yeah I cant fault the clinic at all, everyone is so lovely.

Here is a pic of todays test 6dp5dt and it is wayyyy darker then yesterdays

 

[Farrar_xo]

Oh yay!! It's a clear positive!!! So excited for you! Now the fun begins can't wait to hear how the beta goes! I hope this week flies for you xx

 

[Jillie89]

Beautiful lines!!! Never get tired of seeing BFPs. So excited for you!

 

[wantingbubba7]

Hehe me neither... seeing other peoples test always gave me hope! Cant believe I'm finally here

 

[wantingbubba7]

Jillie what do you think? It didn't really darken overnight and I'm panicking.

I did drink alot of water before bed, do you think that would affect it?
Was still like an 8 hour hold :/ ahhh this is so hard.

 

[Jillie89]

Try not to panic like I did. Harder said than done though. Line doesn't look any lighter which is good. It takes 48 for HCG to double so just wait til tomorrow to see what happens. Mine took a while to progress and I was super worried that it was an unhealthy pregnancy but all was fine. My miscarriage cycle I didn't even get the faintest positive til 7dpt and by 9dpt it was darker but then stopped progressing. The fact you had a BFP at 5dp5dt is a good sign. Think positive!

 

[wantingbubba7]

Thanks so much for your kind words Jilllie... I have pretty much been beside myself all day so I had a snooze and then decided to test when I woke and guess what... it is way way darker ! I think the box of frers wasnt as strong because i even noticed the control line on this mornings was lighter then the others. So I opened a new box of Frers and it is soooooo dark I am shaking with happiness again.

Here it is ... sorry for spam this is the scariest part of IVF I have found haha
Its so there isnt it? I am home alone so I think I am going batty. I dont know how I am going to wait until Friday for my BETA haha

 

[wantingbubba7]

PS I have no idea how to make my photos smaller hahahaha sorry they are massive... no squinting for these bad boys haha

 

[Jillie89]

That latest test looks great. Sometimes afternoon wee is better for some people and those damn test batches being different can be a pain too! All looks to be fine. I went batty at home becoming POAS crazy and over analysing everything. People who don't go through IVF have no idea what it is like.
