Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

Hi Angel, Ginny & Melainey,

How are you all doing today?

Thanks Abby I might post someting on TG for all Melb girls so we can all catch up.

Ginny I think your right everyone in melbourne has a little one. So it will be a very noisy catch up and that not just with the ladies chatting away.
 
Hi Lise - getting there! Trying to be productive with school work this morning as I have special visitor coming this afternoon then in-laws are coming for dinner tonight. Have achieved that goal reasonably well so far!

How are you? How is your gorgeous little Audrina? Hope you're well! Xx
 
I'm actually collecting my pee today for 24 hours for one of the tests - yay! haha

through the hospital I only have a coupe more tests - the pee one and a blood test to rule out Lupus. Then tomorrow I have an ultrasound on my kidneys to rule out kidney problems for causing high blood pressure. I am also waiting on one result of a test they did on the baby's placenta.

Then I have my pelvic ultrasound next week to rule out structural uterine problems. Pretty sure this will come back OK - but a bit nervous too.

Then I have my first appointment with the fertility specialist. There is one test that I know she does - natural killer cells testing - that the hospital doesn't so. So I am going to ask for that test. I don't know what else she'd suggest - can't imagine what it would be!

After all that, unless they find something, I think I'm finally done with the testing!!! I have my fingers crossed that it doesn't take too long to fall pregnant so I can actually see if any of these medicines are going to work!
 
sorry that post was a bit dramatic!

All these appointments are so time consuming and mentally and emotionally exhausting! I just hope they're worth it.
 
Sending hugs Ginny. I had a few internal U/s's during the miscarriage (all by ladies!) and they were painless, a bit uncomfy and hugely awkward but definitely not as bad as I thought - have always put me off going for an early scan before but wouldn't now.
Angel - been thinking of you so much and sending lots of love xx
 
I am really good thankyou Angel. Third week back at work and settled back into another year thank god I only have to work half a year before I go on maternity leave. Audrina is doing really great. She has spent the last two nights down in Geelong with her grandparents who are in in-laws. Normal my parents look after her when I work but because my sister just had her second baby Emma. My parents went up to Nowra to help out & look after her other daughter Olivia.

When do you start back at School? I know down here in Melbourne they go back next week. Are you going back full time?

Ginny – I think it’s a great idea having all the test done now then you can rule out so much more. How is your little man doing?

Missie – hope you have an awesome time away camping. You never no maybe we might bump into each other. I was going to say we should catch up but I am going down wth another family. Who we have never gone away with before so I have no idea what they want to get up to and its their first time heading down to Torquay.
 
Lisa - Torquay, cool! I'm originally from western Vic & my mum lives very close to the Great Ocean Rd now. Love love love the area at this time of year :)
 
Wow Gin that is a lot of tests!!! But all will give you information that will rule things in or out and help lave a way forward so I'm sure they're all worth it!

Missie I have been thinking of you too - hoping you're holding up ok xx

Lisa Torquay sounds great - have a lovely time! I start back at school this Friday (25th) but the kiddies don't start until the next week. I am working full time but am dreading going back - I love my job - just don't feel quite ready to face people who could potentially ask me if we're ttc. Plus am exhausted after my busy and emotional couple of weeks - I'm sure I'll be ok once I get started its just the getting started bit that worries me!

Maddy in jan is your next iui? Hoping and praying all ties well and that you don't need your ivf appt! Xx
 
That's a whole lot of tests Ginny and they sound dreadfully taxing on your emotions but i think it will be worth it
 
Hi Angel, yes I have had 2 dildo-cam appointments this week and have a third in a couple of days. Two follies but they're not yet ripe.
 
oh are you doing IUI again this cycle Maddy? You must be pretty close to Oing, you don't seem to normally O later than CD16
 
Well the eggies aren't wanting to play this month. On Monday I had 2 (10mm and 8mm) and on Thursday they were 11mm/8mm so hardly any growth. If eggs don't mature then the cycle will be cancelled. Will check again Sat and Mon.
 
Maddy I'm sorry to hear that, I'm with gin, come on follies!!! Hopefully we can all encourage them out!!!
 
I just updated on FB, we may miss IUI as follies have had a superhuman growth spurt and looks like I might O on Sunday when the clinic is closed. Initially they said I could just do IUI on Monday morning but now my estradiol tests came back high enough that O is probably imminent. Sigh. I am SICK of living my life like this :(
 
Gin your eggy must be coming to play soon.....how are you feeling Hun? X
 
I'm a bit worried about getting pregnant and then having to go to the UK

This cycle is OK because if it all works out then I'd be well past my "bad weeks" by the time our trip came around.

However, the next couple of cycles puts me in the UK during "bad weeks", so that makes me almost think maybe we should have a break.

Anyway, not pregnant yet so no point worrying about it!
