TTC 1st child 35+ (Please spoiler any PG news/announcements).

[purplelou]

wooly - staying the same is always good! I think lots of people get some retained water before af which can add weight that you have actually lost iykwim on the other hand...I am hopeful for you that the change in usual symptoms is a promising one - will keep everything crossed for you

 

[Butterfly67]

On phone so no detailed post but to everyone who needs them.

Yes, BF is back from hol so am full on and big pma for this cycle

to those who need it too.

Ladies, i am sorry, the first response test tonight is negative, so i guess this is AF that is trying to show. I feel bad that i said anything, you ladies are so supportive!!! So on to the next month for me, and tomorrow if i have full flow, i will hit the M on my new monitor, and the fun begins lol. Thank you ladies, i love you all!!!

So sorry Chris! It is allll so cruel! We are here for you and sending you big

Hello Everybody!! How are you all today???

Purple, I'm glad that you've gone and spoken to your GP about your concerns, and it's good news that they are on to it! I am sure that all will be good! In answer to your question, egg collection tomorrow then they will take OH's sperm and inject however many eggs there are with the sperm (we're actually having ICSI which is better for those with sperm issues) and leave them overnight to fertilize. The embryologist will keep a close eye and will probably keep them no longer than three days before they do a transfer. As my amh is low (as they keep telling me, yada blinking yada) it is unlikley that I will have a lot of fertilized eggs so unlikely to go to blastocyst (which means they keep the embryos in the lab for 5 days to test for the strongest before transferring. This gives a higher rate of live births, but of course I have old eggs so unlikely to happen!!). So, ET most probs Friday or Sat. I just hope there are good eggs to fertilize. Thanks for asking!!!

Macwooly, oooooooo, there's interesting!! Fingers crossed that there is NO AF and she stays away for nine months! Keep us posted! And, like you said, no weight loss means no weight gain-fabulous!!! You're doing brilliantly!!

Hi to you all and I hope you have a good day!!!

AFM-trigger shot has lead to sort to period like pains. Just feel completely exhausted. How I'm supposed to get up tomorrow morning to get to the clinic by 9am I will never know!!

Love to you all,
Axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Chris - that's what we're here for - to tell when you can't tell anyone else - I'm sorry its a BFN - keeping everything crossed for you for next month xxx

Andrea - big hugs honey

Butterfly - woohoo for the PMA!

Dwrgi - I'm on a countdown for you now!!

Love to everyone else.

AFM - I'm at home resting on doctor's orders as my asthma is really bad & I desperately want to go to the festival this weekend. The trip to the doctor's meant having to go through all the 'could you be pregnant?' rigmarole but she's an asthma specialist so at least i should get better soon.
As far as the HSG goes I'm going to have to wait until next month - it has to be done between day 10 & 20 & the hospital only does them on Thursdays (??!) - this cycle it would be 1st September which is when DH has his SA & is also his birthday - I didn't want him to have to go & do his SA on his own & then maybe have to spend the rest of the day looking after me if it went badly! So on to next cycle!

OMM, Twinkle is absolutely right - we're here for sharing those things you can't tell anyone else. We understand completely, while the rest of the world would thing we're all off our rockers. Big to you.

And Twinkle, I am intrigued that they want to do the HSG between days 10 and 20 - mine was done on day 5, and if I remember correctly, they wanted it done any time before day 7.... Very curious.... Hope your asthma improves soon - take good care of yourself.

 

[Macwooly]

Twinkle look after yourself and hope your asthma improves soon

 

[FutureMommie]

HA- stay hopeful and don't you even think about giving up!!! praying for your sticky bean

Thanks petal.
To be honest my hospital seems to be giving totally different advice from anyone else's - I've been told not to ttc AT ALL during the cycle I have my HSG where as other ladies on here have said they got their BFP on the cycle they had their HSG. I think the timing is to make sure that Af has gone but I'm not sure??

FM - oh no!! I was once trapped in Florida for a week as the train I was getting to Washington DC couldn't get through NC due to a hurricane. I really hope it changes course - I'll blow as hard as I can!!

 

[Macwooly]

FM praying that the hurricane misses you x

 

[onmymind17]

Good morning ladies!!

FM i am blowing hard too to keep that hurricane away from you!!! I am in Chicago, so hopefully i can blow it east and away from you!!

Wooly, honey i have everything i possibly can cross crossed for you, i am so praying for a bfp, and no signs does not mean no bfp, the one pg i went 9 weeks with i had not one symptom, as a matter of fact i had a lack of normal things, like i normally get really bad heartburn right before af shows, and it was gone. And thanks for the nice soft seat on the whatevers wagon, i am plopped on there with my seatbelt fastened, i am just going to sit back and relax with you!!

Twinkle, honey you take care of yourself, and i agree, almost everybody i know had the HSG and was able to TTC right after, so not sure why they are saying to wait.

Never honey your in my thoughts and prayers!! sending you big warm hugs.

HA, i am so praying for good news, wed cannot get here soon enough, how are you feeling honey, any more bleeding?

Skye and Lava, how are you ladies doing? I hope you are both feeling well.

Butterfly, go jump on BF and catch that eggie, fingers are crossed that this is your cycle.

Despie how are you my friend, i hope you are feeling well.

Ladies thank you so much for all your support, i cannot tell you how much i appreciate it.

 

[HappyAuntie]

Thanks petal.
To be honest my hospital seems to be giving totally different advice from anyone else's - I've been told not to ttc AT ALL during the cycle I have my HSG where as other ladies on here have said they got their BFP on the cycle they had their HSG. I think the timing is to make sure that Af has gone but I'm not sure??

they don't want you to ttc at all because of when they're doing it - yours will be around ovulation (if not after) and the procedure would wash out any tiny embryo trying to implant. Those who got their BFP that cycle it's because it was done prior to ovulation. But don't worry about that too much - from what I've read, you're more fertile than normal for about 3 months afterward, so you'll still have that advantage.

FM, I am SO hoping that Irene leaves you alone!! How close to the coast are you? Before moving here we lived about 15 miles inland on the TX coast, about an hour due south of Houston - we got a direct hit from Ike in '08, and a glancing blow from Rita in '05. I do not miss hurricane country AT ALL. Be safe, whatever it takes.

AFM, not too optimistic... my bleeding seems to have increased today. This 24 hrs before my next beta is taking about 24 years. I just want to know, whatever the outcome. I can't stand this not knowing. Let it be over and let me grieve and start over, or let it be good and let me move on - but this limbo is hell.

 

[Butterfly67]

HA

 

[twinkle1975]

Thanks HA
I'm sending you lots of hugs xxxx

 

[onmymind17]

HA dammit, i am praying as hard as i can, for you and your little one, and i will do my best to speed up the clock to get to wed, i know what you mean, the waiting is just torture. Hang in there honey, sending you super big hugs!!

 

[Neversaynever]

to you HA.

AFM well.. we are booked in to a clinic in Cyrpus to have ED, probably going for ED end of October.... after 8 long years I am back on the pill OMG feels soooo wierd! Have just had an email from my Dr in Cyrpus and he has said.... and I quote...(LOL)...

"Just to let you know that your prognosis is very good as you are of proven fertility and the reason for ED is purely genetic- I just thought you should know".

Hubby is staying unexcited... says he can't bear another loss... but is doing it for me and the chance to finally be a Dad.

So gulp ladies... I have gone and done it... my first (and please God my last) fertility treatment.... am so gonna need your advice on what to stick where and what pills to pop and what to eat and all that stuff.... Oooo and in a stroke of good luck my Consultant in the UK has recommended steriods, but my bloody GP won't gove them to me..... but my Dr in Cyprus will hehhehehe.... will just add them to my prescription and I start taking them 2 weeks prior to the transfer (so sod off bloody GP hahaha)!!!!

I am always here lurking ladies... have never left ya xx
