LTTTC #1 - Support Group *Please share your story

Serenyx, all better now? :hugs: Hope you're okay.
Yes thanks :) I was having scans every 2 days and this Friday just gone showed that it has all subsided now. They won't let me go straight into a FET cycle though but never really said why :( I have an appointment with the consultant on Wednesday so hoping I can get some answers then but all in all I am getting a little disillusioned with the clinic I am at. I never see the same nurse twice, they don't really seem to know much about me (except for the scanner - she is lovely but then I have been seeing her every two days for the last two weeks :dohh: ). When my ET was cancelled we didn't get that much info and now they simply tell me I can't go straight into a FET without telling me why :nope: I just hope I can get some answers on Wednesday. However I will be on CD6 then so it will be too late to start this cycle now anyway :(

We found beautiful round follicle 18mm on my left side(last month was on the right). :happydance:
Great news Dovkav!! I hope this month is your month :flower:

It looks like I'm lucky and will o late this cycle, so we might still have a chance. But lots of stress and long hours at work, I hope that this doesn't affect my chances. I try to be positive though, listen to good music while at work. I will go for a long walk at the sea today, the bright spring sun is out, and it looks like a cold but wonderful clear day.
A late ov will be good and give you and your DH chance to catch that egg! Try and relax if you can - good luck :flower:
 
Hi storkstaller i hope you can start the ivf again soon!
 
My BIL and SIL just had a baby boy. I feel like such a jealous cow... I'm not even a drop happy for them, just crying my eyes out here... it's my DH's identical twin brother... and the baby is a boy... so it might look exactly like my DH... I'm scared to see pictures, it's just reminding me of what I haven't got... :(
I know how you feel - my sister is due in November and I am terrified!
 
Hi Ladies! :flower: Seems like we're mostly in a rough space these days. :nope:

Serenyx, I don't think they even let women go straight into a FET, right? Even if there hasn't been OHSS, I think they want your body to rest for a few weeks. It probably seems like forever, but I bet it will pass quickly. Time for a new project? Hope you get to transfer soon. :hugs:

But I know what you mean about never seeing the same nurses twice. I just found out that I probably won't see my doctor at all during my IVF, as they rotate the IVF cases by month. I'm not really crazy about the other docs on the team, so this is disappointing. It does, however, seem to be the norm.

Ella, I'm so sorry you're struggling so much, but I honestly think it's completely normal and to be expected. :hugs: Do as much or as little as you can for your SIL with grace, but don't feel guilty or as though you need to hide yourself from BnB. I think we've all felt something like what you're feeling. You're not even a little bit selfish! Women who get pregnant easily fill me with urges towards violence these days. :grr: It's only momentary, but I mean, really--I would have thought there was something wrong with anyone who wanted to punch pregnant women before I was in this LTTTC boat, but now I think it only makes sense. :haha: :blush: None of this is flipping fair, and we have to accept the awful emotions (*of course* without acting on them :haha:), and just try to take care of ourselves. I'm sorry your OH was put in that position, too. :nope: It's just crappy, and there's no way around it. See if you can find a way to be supportive that isn't too painful, but don't blame yourself for how you feel. :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

Stork, I'm so sorry you find yourself here, and that your TTC journey has been so long and difficult. I hope your IVF isn't cancelled, and that it brings you a nice sticky bfp. Do you know if they'd cancel before or after ER? Anyway, welcome to the thread. :hugs:

Senny, I'm sorry you have to be here, too. :hugs: I think we all know something about how you feel. It's hard to respond to the ignorant people, isn't it? :hugs:

Pipi, did you perhaps just O? :winkwink: Did business get taken care of? Hope OH ended up being in town!

Dovkav, I think you have ER again tomorrow, yes? Good luck! :hugs:

How's everyone else? :flower:

AFM, day 2 out of 27 for the birth control pills. Time is going to draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag. :coffee:
 
Welcome Senny and StorkStalker. I'm sorry we have to meet here, but it's a nice group which gives support in all struggles LTTTC.

Ella, I'm sorry you have to go through this. It's especially hard if Family members have kids, because in some way everyone expects you to be happy. Take your time, and give yourself some slack, what you feel is normal.

Dovkav, good luck for EC.

Pbl_ge, day 2 ey? I know it might seem like a drag, but you will get there soon.

I think we where a tad too late to catch that egg. Dh and me ended up having a small fight, all good now, but timing bd takes its toll sometimes, and I wish we wouldn't have to. I'm not hopeful now that we have a chance this month.

On my walk along the beach I saw this pregnant woman doing quite an intimite photo shoot with her partner. I really wanted to cry. I felt so good on my walk before.
 
WE COUGHT AN EGG! I HAD TEARS OF JOY!:wohoo:
the same Prof. like last month did an ER.
Less pain this time.
First step is done. Looong day of waiting.Tomorrow they'll call if it got firrtilised.
On Thursday is a transfer.
I'll catch you later, girls!
 
Congrats Dovkav, hope that egg gets fertilized and grows, fingers crossed for you!
 
Ella, I totally feel you.. I can not seem to be happy most of the time anyone around me has their babies.. Only for ppl I know have struggled, then I am happy but still jealous... I can totally understand how you feel about the baby being born from your DH´s identical twin... It´s so unfair...

And, still, we get to feel bad for having such bad feelings... :dohh:

Big hug from me to all of you and thanks for welcoming me back here...

:hugs:

That's excellent news! I hope this is it for you.
 
Dovkav - that is fantastic. FX for you this time around!!!

Ella: I know how you are feeling. I have decided I am not going to feel bad about feeling angry and annoyed that other people have little to no issue conceiving. We have put our time in, we are allowed to be bitter and angry.

Welcome Senny and StorkStalker - Sorry to see you, but big hugs all around.

Pipi - I was walking in the park and saw a family doing a 1 year old birthday shoot. I wanted to pop their balloons and take the kid home with me. It was the perfect way to ruin my day.

I hope everyone else is hanging in there. I feel with summer wrapping up I am in such the pits lately, am having an off month. Was watching tv and a baby food commercial came on and I started crying. Is it weird to feel absolutely no hope anymore? So I went on Amazon and finally bought a bunch of books about infertility, dealing with it as a woman, bought one for the Hubby so that he can read something, a 12 week fertility cleanse and a fertility yoga DVD. Hopefully when these arrive in a few weeks I will be inspired enough to start trying again. But really liking not focusing on temps and charts and sticks and everythign else right now. Havent checked my CM in a month and feeling good about it!

Oh, and did I mention my Drs office now told me the fertility referral will take about a year after seeing him for over 1 year with no luck. One would have thought he would have put me on the list knowing it was over a year when we started! Ugh, so annoyed today.
 
Our bean is waiting for me on Thursday at 12pm. My incubator is on and ready for it!

Myshel, that's terrible! How can they really make you wait another year? :cry:

Glad you're enjoying your TTC vacation. It does sound like you really needed a break, so good timing there, anyway. Sending you lots of warm fuzzies. :hugs:
 
Here is my story Well I went to my regular Dr for a referral to a fertility specialist as we had been NPNT for 2 years and full on trying and charting for 1.5 years.

He referred me to my current Dr Lets Call him Dr A. and I got in right away, which totally suprised me as I heard it was a long wait. We talked about fertility and set up a fertility plan, we did all the tests, did two HSG's a lap a few scans and at the end he tells me that he has gone as far as he can go as my GYN and as there is nothing visably wrong he has to send me to a FERTILITY SPECIALIST! Which is why I guess for the last year I saw him I wasnt given any medications or anything and we never did a cycle where we looked at my egg development or anything. But I honestly had no idea, I feel like an idiot and wish that I pushed for things that I knew I needed to be doing with a fertility specialis, maybe then I would have figured out I needed the actual referral from him but I though he was my referral ....

So now I am on the actual waiting list, which is why it is taking so long. I am happy that we did all of the piliminary tests and what not but wish he would have put me on the list FIRST knowing we had been trying for over a year and after finding nothing wrong initially.
 
Oh Myshel, how frustrating. I'm sorry, I hope you get your bfp while waiting. A year really is a test on the already stretched patience for Ladies like us I think.

Oh, myshelsong, I am sorry to hear that. Can you complain to somebody about this DOING NOTHING DR. Probably lots of women are in the same situation like you.
I have hope in you, myshelsong. You do everything you can right now. You are being proactive. Firtility cleance and yoga DVD will help you emotionally and physically during these hard times. Please buy firtility massage DVD too. :hugs:
