I will no longer be coming back to this thread. Best of luck to all of the ladies who are starting or already started their IVF cycles or those going through FET's!
 
Thanks, ladies :)

Want - My mom has already bought me 2 huge bags of clothes etc haha! We have started looking at nursery furniture just to see what is out there. We have also found someone to do a design on one of the walls of the nursery. Super excited!

What about you??

UGH Jess that SUCKS! I hope that it passes ASAP!!!

I have started looking around too... On the day of my first ultrasound I did get a onesie just because I wanted to buy something but not a whole lot of neutral colors out there especially in clothing so I guess will wait for clothes shopping until Dec when I find out what we are having.. The other stuff we are looking around and may buy during Christmas :)
 
Had a question for the preggo ladies.. Did any of you experience breakouts on your face? My face looks like a teenager.. it's so annoying since I had a decent complexion overall..

:( Why?? Dont leave! I must say I have thought of leaving the thread also b/c all the tickers make me sad they are not mine BUT I'm staying optimistic about things and hoping I have a ticker soon!
 
Ash - why are you leaving?

Want - thanks Honey, me too!
 
ash- *hugs* that would suck. you will be missed. take care of yourself. so many people are pregnant now on this thread i can see where it would get upsetting cause it often does veer into preggo chat rather than ivf

jchic- im sorry that sucks. i was super lucky and only vaguely queasy. maybe talk to your doc about antiemetics, they really work

mo- *hugs* glad you are staying optomistic.
 
Ashley, why would you leave? I was thinking the same thing this week because I hate feeling like such a cranky person when everyone else is happily enjoying being pregnant but then I realized how much I would miss all the people who have been here all along.
 
bomo- please dont feel like you are cranky. weve ALL gone through the same stuff. i know i found i couldnt be happy for people who were pregnant (even on here) but at the same time i didnt mind them posting about mornign sickness etc (shopping for stuff.. that i found more upsetting). even though no one (other than hopefully your doctor) can make it happen for you, we are all here to listen and support you. and crank away. i know i was bitchy and pissy and frustrated and jealous
 
Ash - There are so many different women on this thread at different points in their cycles, etc. Some are starting cycles, waiting to start, in the 2WW, pregnant etc. We have all been on all sides of those at one time or another. Hang in there, this is a great supportive thread, and very informative. If you do choose to leave, best of luck to you in your cycle and I hope it turns out well :)

Stinas - I cant believe your FET is literally RIGHT around the corner, SO AWESOME. Are you going to take any time off or no?
 
Ash - sorry you feel you have to leave... :hugs:

BOMO - I had a look at my clinics price list (I'm in Ireland) and it says €8000 for a donor cycle and €6500 for additional donor cycle... That doesn't include meds and I'm sure there'd be a few other charges along the way but even with flights and accommodation it sounds way cheaper than your estimated €4000.... Could be worth looking into if you do decide to go down the donor route?
 
Ash I'm sorry you feel you have to leave :( :hugs:

You have to remember again that the ladies that are here pregnant (if thats the case of why you're leaving) have all been in our shoes. They had to save up enough money for their cycles just as well as we have. Some women get it their first cycles...others it takes YEARS as myself to just be able to have ONE IVF cycle. I'm praying for you....but again they had to wait just like every one of us....so I hope thats not the reason for your leaving.

I pray that your cycle works and you do wonderful and have a baby in around 9-10ish months from now :) :hugs: :hug: :hugs: :hug: <3 <3 <3 hoping you feel better soon!
 
Ash - I'm sorry you feel like you have to leave. I hope you change your mind.

Jhic - sorry to hear your MS is still really bad!

Lindsay - so glad the spotting stopped.

Xx
 
never mind :flower:

EDIT~ I actually do want to say something but not what I had wrote before...

If the pregnancy talk bothers people please say something. I was afraid of this happening but I thought things were going well. So please let others know before you get really upset. We are all here for each other and I would like for it to stay that way. :hugs:
 
I know that I'm now (finally!) one of the pg ladies but up until just over 3 weeks ago I was still on the other side... I can't speak for anyone else and everyone is entitled to their own feelings but I personally loved reading the pregnancy talk, even if sometimes I didn't join in on it. Seeing all the pregnancies progressing here kept me reminded me that there is light at the end of this ivf tunnel...:D
 
MrsC. . . maybe I'm strange but the pregnancy talk doesn't bother me. I enjoy hearing about how everyone is doing and what their pregnacy is bringing. There are days that (I won't lie) I wish it was me, but it still makes me smile for everyone else. Plus, it gives me hope that it will happen for me someday too because I know everyone else struggled to get to their pregnancies just like I am.

I hope that makes sense.
 
I think it's okay to hear about every else's pregnancy however I dont think it would be a bad idea to have a seperate thread where all of the ladies on this thread who "graduate" to pregnant could go and the people who are still TTC through IVF on this thread could go over there if they wanted and follow their pregnancy instead of having the TTCer's who want to be on this thread having to see all of the pregnancy talk. I am happy for the pregnant ladies and I'll be there one day but it is hard logging on everyday and having questions about IVF/Lupron/etc but instead of getting my questions answered people are talking about pregnancy related issues. That's the main reason why I want to leave .. because the talk is more steered towards pregnancy lately and I feel like I'm not getting the support I feel I need.
 
Ok but ash there have been so many times I have checked in with you and you don't respond. You want support but to get support you have to be here. Yes there is a lot of pregnancy talk here sometimes. From what I gathered everyone was fine with it and even asking for scan pics, bump pic as well as how everyone was feeling. Like I said if there was an issue I would have liked for it to be dealt with rather than having angry posts in other areas. We have ALL been super supportive of everyone. I can't answer IVF questions but others can and I know they have. We are all on here at different times. I'm not going to tell people to stop talking about pregnancy because we have all worked very hard to get here and we have all been in this struggle together. We have ALL also been in the spot of not having a bfp yet and it is hard, I know that. We all have our own struggles and thats another things we are here for... support. So if there was an issue, like I said I would have rather it be talked about here first. For the girls still trying I come here to cheer you all on and I know that you will all have your bfp. Thats what this thread is for to cheer each other on, thats it.
 
Well said Mrs. C....I support everyone going through IVF, I know how freaking hard it is to wait, and wait and wait, and have roadblocks, and then go through your cycle. I cant answer questions on Lupron as I was on an estrogen priming protocol. I welcome any questions I can answer from IVF. So many protocols are different, and so many women on here are at different points in their journey. I do hope you dont think that people are purposely not answering you. I try to answer to everyone, as many do on here as well, but there are certain protocols and meds I am not familiar with as I am sure is the same with many of the women on here.
Should you feel the need to find support elsewhere, I certainly wish you the best during your journey and hope you come back to share your BFP announcement - as you are working hard for it, like we all do/are/did.
 
MrsC - first off, I'm on this site and thread every single day and I have not seen you ask me about anything.

Like I said in my post about leaving. Congratulations everyone that is pregnant and for everyone else going through IVF best of luck to you!
 
First of all, I would like to apologize if my conversation offended anyone or if my questions regarding pregnancy triggered the wrong emotions. I was certainly not trying to make anyone feel bad since I assumed we are all here for each other, some trying, some pregnant and some further along.
I know lately there has been pregnant talk going but like MrC said she has done a damn good job of maintaining 900 pages of this thread (this is one of the longest threads I am subscribed to) and it would only be fair if you would have talked to her about your concerns.
I find these group of ladies totally awesome... I have been on this forum for almost a year now and found out I was pregnant only 6 weeks ago .. But I have been elated with each BFP announcement and to hear their stories and experiences. I know it's hard sometimes but I have faith each and every one of us is destined to be a mom!!
Ash, if you feel you are not getting the support you need then it's your choice but I wish you all the best in your journey!!
