Anyone over 35 want a buddy?

TTC, how did the test results turn out? I've been thinking about you!
 
hey girls... ends up a BFN for me.. :( thats ok tho (naturally I wish otherwise) but off to stopping these supposotiries...waiting for AF to come so I can start this IVF cycle...

this has been the longest cycle EVER for me... since I O'd SOOOOO late, now these suppositores have delayed AF coming gosh this is a long month !!!
 
TTC so sorry to hear but it is fantastic that you have such an immediate plan and a definate course of action - Your day is coming!!!!!!
 
TTC - sorry to hear it's a BFN. Any possibility it's a bit too early still since you O'd late? If not then let's hope the IVF on the next cycle gets you your BFP. This is definitely a lucky thread now so let's send lots of that luck and baby dust your way. :dust: You've been our TTC guru and you so deserve this :hugs:

Hi everyone else- any morning sickness yet Bann or Irish? :hugs: I'm starting to feel a little bit better but still pretty tired.

Lee - how's that 2WW going?
 
I bummed for you TTC but looking forward to hearing about your journey through IVF. I just know it is going to have a positive outcome. So when is your next appointment with the FS? Is your husband going to get to go with you this time? Have they given you the timeline of everything? Or do you just have to wait for AF and then the ball gets rolling and you just go with the flow? I know you have done tons of research and know everything about it. LOL. Good luck and keep us posted!!

Leeze, I am just tired ALL the time. Nauseous most of the time. I have to keep snacks around. If I don't eat something every so often I get lightheaded and dizzy. Other than that I am doing ok.

TTC we are all pulling for you and looking forward to your day! It is coming!

Take care ladies!...
 
thank you so much girls for your words of encouragment... they are very well needed and appreciated at the same time... thank you so much...

I actually stopped the suppositories on Monday... even before they called me to tell me my beta blood was a negative. I KNEW I wasnt pregnant. I usually get AF at 12dpo and I took pregnancy tests 14,15&16 DPO if a pregnancy test wasnt coming up positiive by then I knew I wasnt pregnant, and I just wanted to stop taking these suppositories so AF would come already... as it was due damn last FRIDAY and this month has been soooo long for me since i O'd so darn late too... I just really wanted this AF to come so I could move on with this darn IVF. So yep I took myself off them...I will for sure not do that next month!! will definately wait for my beta results to come back, as using those suppositories during IVF is VERY important. They say because they are taking the eggs out of you then returning them in 3 days your body doesnt know to make the progestrone itself because it doenst sense the egg in there.. (or something like that) so I WONT take myself off them early next month.


Soooo I started spotting early this evening (which means in total I delayed my AF by 5 days with these progestrone suppositories) and as of 11pm tonight I got AF full fledge, I probally wont count CD1 until tomorrow though. So I am off on to my IVF cycle....YAYAYA I am so excited of the great possiblity..... So the run down for me the next several weeks is this...I go for baseline blood work and ultrasound on Friday... hoping my FSH value is low this month (would maybe mean I would produce some nice quality folicles...as ya know it is never great to get a high FSH) and that my ultrasound looks nice and clear so I can start my injections... they say 8-10 days of injections then , with blood work almost every day an a few ultrasounds to check the quanity and size of my follicles, once I am all ready I trigger then...Im off for Philly for egg retrival, then I leave the little buggers behind and hope I get some good eggs and they fertilize nicely and then I return 3 days later for them to transfer them back.... thats my story for the next several weeks... I am so excited !!! I really hope this works!! Staying optimistic, If we dont get it right the first time, hubby is on board for trying again next month... BUT OBVIOUSLY we both hope it works right the first time !!! Here goes girls.....
 
Oh TTC I am so excited for you know what the anticipation is like as my next cycle after my planned one in March would have been IVF. I really admire you and how positive you are I know it has been a long journey and really it is excellent that you have made even longer term plans but hopefully you won't need to engage that game plan. Heres to good egg making :))

No real news with me I have been very tired (not complaining) and over the last week have felt slightly nauseous which I am thrilled about. Have a scan on Monday so I am excited about that still a bit anxious but I am sure that is to be expected. Think I am finally starting to accept that I am pregnant NO CHOICE b/c already not really fitting in my clothes haven't really put on any weight but I have a tummy. Maybe b/c it is my 2nd it is more pronounced but have to leave the buttons open in my trousers :). Don't get me wrong I don't give a flying hoot but it has made me do the whole sorting out my press putting away (only in bags at present not up in the attic) putting away clothes that are too tight and pulling out and sorting through my maternity clothes.

Bann you have a scan tomorrow right? Hope it goes well for you.

Leeze I was praying for mornign sickness if you can believe it but glad you are almost at the other side of it. I don't mind any of the pregancy symptoms actually makes me feel better if you know what I mean.

Girls I will sign off as always your Nutty Compadrea :)
 
TTC - it's lovely to hear you so focused and excited. You've been on such an incredible journey already - and it's fantastic that you and your OH are both so on board with this now. Fingers and everything else crossed for you that everything goes smoothly and your tests give you the best possible results to get that lovely BFP and much-wanted bun in the oven!!! :hugs: You deserve this so very much

Irish - great that you're celebrating feeling a bit sick. It's funny how we take comfort from these things, isn't it? When I went for the early scan the nurse there said to me that it's the only condition where people are happy to feel sick and tired!!! Not long till your next scan :hugs:

Bann - I hear you on the tiredness and nausea! My sicky feelings have gone down a little bit this week but I'm still exhausted. Good luck tomorrow for the next scan :hugs:

My scan is on Monday too, I can't wait. I can't help but worry that something might have gone wrong so I really want to be reassured and have a good look at the little one growing inside me!!! Not long till the weekend now either and things always feel better at the weekend when there's no work to go to!!! :haha:
 
Leeze hope your scan went well today it is nerve wreckign but also exciting.

Bann hope yours went well on Friday was thinking of you

TTC hope you are well on your way have you started the injections yet?

I have had terrible problems with my computer so been logged off all weekend but sorted now. I had a scan today they put me at 8wks 5days HB163pm so thank God all is going ok starting to feel a bit better about the whole thing but I don't think you ever are fully reassured until you have a baby in your arms :) hope yee are all doing well keep in touch xx
 
Irish, glad to hear your scan went well! They are always so reassuring! That was a nice strong heart beat! I am totally feeling you about the tight clothes. Unfortunately I have put on quiet a few pounds from the stress of TTC so my clothes were tight to begin with. And now with my body changing they have just gotten that much more uncomfortable! I was hoping I would not have to go buy maternity clothes till at least 12 weeks. But I don't think I am going to make it that long. We will see. I'm holding out as long as I can.

Good luck with your scan Leeze!

TTC, how did your ultrasound and bloodwork go Friday? Hearing about what all you are going to be doing made my head spin. But it will make the time go by quick I think. That is so nice your hubby is on board with doing it a second time if the first one does not work. But I am keeping my fingers crossed it is not needed!

My scan last Friday went well. Saw the heart beat. 177. I had just ate lunch and my heart was racing because when I first looked I did not see anything so I paniced. Doc said the babies heart beat was probably higher because I just ate and because my heart was racing. She said that wasn't too high. She wasn't concerned. I thought it sounded high but she was good with it. She set me up for another scan next Monday. I was reassured on Friday but again I find myself nervous and anxious for the next scan for additional reassurance. Eventually they are not going to do so many and I don't know what I will do then. Might have to price out private scans.

Got to get back to work. Take care ladies. Chat soon. :)
 
hi everyone

quick update from me - scan went well today!! very exciting to get a little pic and to see something that actually now looks like a baby and not so much like a little prawn!!! when I first got there they told me the appointment had been cancelled - that was a massive worry - but luckily they reinstated it for us. Generally it was a really lovely experience and I had a little tear in my eye!!!

Glad to hear feedback from your scans, Irish and Bann. Sounds pretty positive to me. Bann, I think the main thing to know is that your baby sounds like it's got a good strong heartbeat, but it's good to know you're getting checked out again just for some reassurance :hugs:

TTC - how's things going? Have you started the injections yet? fingers crossed this is your month :hugs:
 
Leeze-what a PERFECT Ultrasound pix!!!! So funny…yep no more prawn!!! Haha….How awesome… gosh your at the 12 weeks already…where did the time go!!!!

Irish-. Nice that you are a little nauseous.. haha… is that continuing? I get what ye mean too… I cant wait to have morning sickness!!!! Watch I probably just jinx myself!!!
And congrats on the scan…sounding good right!!


And Bann –gosh looks like all ya girls got scans fri/mon… so awesome babys heartbeat is looking good.!!!! Yayayayaya!!!

Gosh so many scans girls… whats the typical once ya get preggo… I will be just like you guys probably trying to get as many scans as possible and even doing some privates as well 

And Listen girls… I am already gaining weight, and I don’t even have my little bean to blame yet!!!…. Although I do know all these hormone injections etc.. I have been on the last several months are said to really contribute to weight gain. Its starting to turn warm here and I am suppose to “get out my summer clothes” but gosh I really do not feel like putting my self through that right now. Trying on shorts and Tank tops… ughhh!!! At least you girls have something to show for it..(a bump) me I feel like I don’t have a legit excuse!! Haha!!

As for me… Went for Baseline Blood and Ultrasound on Friday… everything looked GREAT… had the BEST CD3 levels ever!!! My FSH was only 5.8 !!!!!! which is SOOOOOO AWESOME!!! Obviously no matter what it was I was continuing with IVF this cycle… but if it was high, as we know that is not a good sign, and they would have put me on a different type of protocol also probably. But it was NICE AND LOW… I was so happy, just makes me feel really confident, that I may be able to produce some quality eggs this month!!! Yayaya!! So anyway I started the injections on Friday, and went for another scan yesterday (Monday) and so far I have 6 growing follicles…and my lining is already up to a 7!!!! And it is triangular already too!! All GREAT NEWS!!! I continue the meds and will return for another scan on Thursday AM….I am hoping I have developed a couple more to work with. As I told ya, my protocol I am on they are not looking for me to produce a ton of follicles, they are going for “quality over quantity”, but I cant help to keep thinking a little that I would like a couple to work with, as I hear horror stories that although a lot of follicles are retrieved, some are empty or never fertilized that some girls don’t even make it to transfer them back in… that happens a lot … I will be heart broken if that happens. So that’s the low down for me.
 
GREAT news TTC!!! So excited that you are getting fantastic results! What is the timeframe for the actual IVF? I'm sure it will come around so quickly it will make your head spin. How long do they wait to check to see if it worked? I am super excited for your good results thus far. After it is all done and over with and you are a good ways along with your pregnancy I want you to write a nasty letter to your previous specialist. I get so mad when I think of what you went through with him and his wife being so negative. But why dwell on the past. Good luck!!!!!
 
TTC - that all sounds great. Ooh - it would be so amazing if you got your BFP this month!!!! :hugs:
 
Hi ladies. Well I fell down the stairs at work today. I completely freaked out! My legs took most of the fall but I was so scared. So that is how my boss got to find out I am pregnant. My poor boss. He did know what to do. I went to my doctor and everything looks fine. Baby was moving around and waved at me. It was sweet. I am very bruised and sore. But so happy everything is ok. I seriously freaked out and was crying hysterically. So embarrassed to go back tomorrow!! I guess no better time than now to let my coworkers know. I am just sitting here shaking my head at myself. I just simply missed a step and down I went. So embarrassing.

Hope you all had a good day. I had to tell you about it. Ugh. I think I have become even more clumsy since becoming pregnant. I am going to go buy some flat shoes for work. No more heels for now.

Aw Bann - that sounds really scary. Glad you got to know bub is ok :hugs::hugs: - definitely a good idea to wear flat shoes!!

I had a close encounter today where a big shelving unit at work nearly fell on me but luckily I managed to push it back - phew. Was in shock a bit for a few mins afterwards. There's so many hazards everywhere!!
 
Hi girls :flower: hope you don't mind me dropping in :winkwink:
Wow, how things have changed since I was last on this thread :happydance: Congrats girls on your BFPs, I'm sooo happy for you :happydance: glad to hear everythings going well, with the scan etcs

Bann - I ditched the heels within the first couple of weeks of BFP not just because of the unsteadiness but because I suspected it was contributing to backache.

Irish - I got one of those belly belts to stop my trousers from falling down, I'd definately recommend them, I'm still wearing my pre pregnancy work trousers and I'm pretty big right now and loving it :haha:

Leeze - wow 12 weeks already! Glad to hear all is well, you'll probably find that you will feel start to feel so much more relaxed about everything now your past the scary 12 week point :thumbup:

TTC1st - although I don't understand much of what you are going through at the moment, it sounds like you're making good progress, so best of luck with those follicles :hugs: who knows you might end up with more than one bouncing bundle of joy :happydance: fingers x'd, lets hope this month is your month hun

As for me, I am currently 21 weeks, just a few days short of 5 months, which is crazy because although it seems to be dragging sometimes (I'm so impatient) at the same time it seems like time has flown. I had a scan a few weeks ago and we found out that I'm having a little girl :happydance: and on the whole I'm feeling pretty good.

xxx
 
great to hear from you C-Mum :flower:

How incredible that you're 21 weeks already - doesn't time fly? And how lovely that you're having a girl (either would be lovely, I'm sure!!) - have you started getting things yet or are you going to wait until nearer the time? :hugs:

I hope everyone else is having a lovely weekend - the weather has been beautiful here and we spent the day on the beach yesterday!! We're going to the Cotswolds for 3 nights tomorrow so I'll catch you next weekend probably
:hugs::hugs:
 
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!

Hello there CMUM- so nice to hear from ya... 5 months already!!! gosh the time is just flying!!! and a baby girl... that is completely awesome!!! so whens your actual due date then ? please dont be a stranger, check back in...

BANN!!! GOSH you fell girl... how is it that we never fall down steps when we are not pregnant then the minute it happens we start falling!! geeze louise!!! I am happy everything is ok though and baby was waving at you??? how cute is that!!!!

Leeze-a nice at the beach sounds wonderful, and enjoy your 3 day mini-vacation!!!

Irish-hope all is good with you and the bean !!!

as for me, we leave tonight for my 6 hours drive over to the Hotel, for 10 am Egg Retrival tomorrow AM then I will return again Wednesday night for Thursday AM Transfer. My last blood work and ultrasound was apparently FANTASTIC!! My bloods are exactly where they want them to be and as for my ultrasound... my lining is already perfect at 9mm!! ya!! and they are seeing 8 total follicles, 4 are great size and 3 that may grow a bit by Monday to be "usuable" the way I look at it the "more the merrier". Quite honestly if there are a couple more mature enough to work with I will feel better about that. Then they will try to fertilize the mature ones and by day 3 we will know how many little embroys we got!!! But we shall see!!! here goes girl!! I am so exicted on the POSSIBLITY THAT I VERY WALL MAY BE PREGNANT THIS MONTH!!! So far this is the best possiblity yet!! so I wish me luck and I will check in as soon as I can.
