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

Welcome dragon and Miss F :hi:

Dragon - I also use conceive plus - I heard that preseed is quite well maybe squelchy might be a good word :haha: and you don;t need as much as they say :dohh: - I would also say wait until AF shows her proper face and then start using OPKs maybe around cd9 (I O on cd11 so just in case you are a similar early Oer then you don't want to miss it :flower:)

Miss F - how exciting, life on a yacht :boat: :happydance:

Dashka, I also seem to be suffering from hayfever type allergies this summer - sneezing and runny nose for weeks now and not something i usually get so can sympathise :hugs::hugs:

Never, great news about Heart :cloud9:

Dwrgi, exciting about the meds, sorry not replied to email :blush: didn't get on my laptop much over the weekend :dohh:

HTJ sounds like you have an awesome week planned :happydance::happydance:
 
Dr S - that is awesome.... FX you get a darker line tomorrow and the blood tests go well! Can't wait! Can you remind me which meds you used this time?
 
Dragonorchid - yes - the concieve plus is also a little pricey - but I think it worked for me (maybe) it was the new thing I'd added into the cycle I concieved - you can actually buy it off the shelf in boots too - which is useful :) - although hopefully you won't need it! good luck!
 
Dash - not sure yet if I am going to test or just wait for af. July 3 would be 14 dpo and af is due either on July 4 or 5. I will be out of town (WHY, oh WHY does af ALWAYS come during vacation???) so I haven't quite decided yet how I am going to handle it this month, though I am leaning torward just waiting for af. Since I'm not sure if doc got the timing right because of the temp spike the morning of IUI, I'm still hopeful, but not really anticipating a bfp. Only time will tell, I guess :D
 
Dash- lupron suppression starting may 11 with 8mg medrol. Then starting June 1 Menopur in the am and gonal f pm.
 
HTJ - I know what you mean - always getting AF during vacation.... Am planning a nice 3-day weekend at SIL's cottage this weekend and ofcourse I know I'll be expecting the witch in a few days... with my luck she'll be late this month so it will be even worse pain/cramps while I'm there. Good idea to wait on the testing if you can - FX for you!!!

Dr. S - thanks re: meds - just curious as I like to see what works for different people. So what is the medrol for?
 
Hi All--If you remember me, I'm back. If not, hello!

I had an IUI 4/11, IVFw/ICSI 9/12 & 11/12. I took a little break--hubby quit smoking; I dropped 40 lbs. We are back in the IVF "swing" now. I had my baseline blood & ultrasound today. They found a fibroid (from what I could tell, a big one--I'll get a detailed phone message later). I'm wondering if others have had fibroids while doing IVF. Any experience is welcome.

It's good to be back! THANKS :)
Stacy
 
Yay awesome news that Hearty and baby girl are doing OK!

Hit your vacation... (UK Translation = holiday hahahaha) sounds great and the chill out may help things along...

Dwrgi... so what did the postie bring for you.... any yummy meds? LOL

Purps... if you as a medical professional cannot work out my FF chart then I am doomed cos I never have a bloody clue! He he he... maybe one of our resident Drs can tell me??

Though as Lils pointed out I am a bloody useless temp'er!

Dash I thought I was out too... but temp has risen again????..... Nice holiday you have planned!

Dr S and Butterfly my hayfever is driving me nuts at the min! Good luck with the blood test Dr S though I don't think you will need any luck!

Hello new ladies!
 
Pad Hun ... I think you are unique case :haha: in the nicest way xxxxxxx


Welcome back forever!
 
Hahhaa .... unique case?.... you mean nut case!!! Hahahaaaa
 
Just a quick Hi, Sorry I haven't been posting but I have been reading. Feeling down ATM turning 36 and missing OV (Thanks FF) has been a bit much over the last week or so, but just wanted to say

Thank you for the Birthday wishes, I did have a nice day DH made it really special with lots of presents lol, Apparently I need to have them now when we can still afford it lol.

Dr S - Huge congratulations lots of stick dust to you.

Welcome to the newbies, I'm not normally this quiet I promise. I have only been of BC for a couple of months too, it does sort it self out just give it time. The girls here are fab, what they don't know about TTC is not worth knowing.

Lils, I so have my fingers crossed for you honey. XXX Use those crystals and have faith.

To everyone else love and hugs and sorry I'm being a wet lettuce I will be back soon I promise XXX
 
Dashka- supposedly taking it during stims etc helps with egg quality. Who knows. Most people take it after Er which I did not do (supposedly decreases the risk of "rejection")
 
Chicken-good to hear from you! You can always vent it all out on here, if you're comfortable doing that. We all go through stages where we just need to keep away. Glad you had a good birthday, and enjoy the pressies (while you can!!!). :hugs::hugs::hugs:

Purps-yay, brill news on your father. I hope he gets good news next week so he can, indeed, have a break from treatment. Glad to hear that you and bubba are doing great! Big :hugs::hugs: to you! xxx

Pad-you always make me laugh, I love your what the he** attitude! Interesting temp increase. Remind me, have you tested at all??? I'm thinking Team Pink, whatever's going on! And how lovely that you found an ally, and closer than you thought too. I bet they were gutted that they couldn't help you, and vice versa. If only this sh&tmobile that is TTC was more socially acceptable and not such a taboo. :hugs::hugs:

Dashka-isn't it funny that you do get the sore boobs and then temp drops. What do you think is going on? Is there fertilization and then a brief implantation?? What is that about? Could your body be rejecting what's there? I hope I don't sound insensitive... just that the sore boobs is a given of PG, isn't it? Hope you get some answers soon, and ideally hope that Bagface Witch stays away! :flower::flower:

Butterfly-'salright! I'll forgive you. Humph......... :)happydance::happydance::happydance:). xxxxxxx:hugs:

Dr. S-sorry for details, but how much menopur in am and how much gonad f :)winkwink:) f in the afternoon?? I have always had menopur with my ICSIs and had the Gonad F for the IUI (aborted).

Dragon-I use Preseed. It's very authentic, and very like the ride and slide lubes you get!!!! Pardon my naughtiness-that line actually came from one of my students during a PSHE lesson!!! (She'd found some in her mother's bedroom!!). I order mine from Amazon-about £14 a tube, and it lasts about three-four months. You don't need as much as it says. I tried Zestica and it was a complete waste of money, just a crap product. GL!

Miss Fosdyke-it may be a good idea to fill up on prenatal vitamins for both you and hubby. I use Pregnacare Conception (and about fifty million other vits), and my OH uses the Wellman Conception, which has helped no end with his swimmers. They are the first things you need to get. Sperm takes three months to mature, and we can only work with what we've got, so anything that we can do to improve our eggs, the better! GL to you too!

HTJ-hope those swimmers have found their target and are getting nice and jiggly with that egg! GL. Your trip sounds amazing. By the way, random point, but it IS worth taking it easy after IUI if you can!!!! :hugs::hugs:

4EverYoung-course I remember you. So depressing that I am still here, months after you last posted, and still no baban for me yet, and time marches on. Glad that they found your fibroid. GL with your next IVF! PMA!!!

Lil-how are you, hun? Any developments? Thinking of you, Axxxx P.S. How is BIL doing? Bet you're healing helped him lots! You will be delighted to know that the weather has been positively tropical today-about 23 ish. I really can't take it though :)haha::haha::haha:). Big :hugs:

Dr H-how are you? Morocco sounds lush. Would love to go there. :hugs:

Asry, Frol, big :hugs: to you all!

Manuiti-how are you feeling? I hope that you are doing sort of okay. It's the pits, I know. But you'll get there. And we're here to help you, so lean on us, ok?? :hugs::hugs:

Never-JoCR is doing great. She's going to have a little boy, due end of October. She can't wait and is blooming. Thanks for asking after her! You're a trooper-and not much time to go for you either!! xxx

Grk, Lady H, Neesaw, Mirium, Carole, Twinks, HA, Nikki, Owl, Ella E, Bearlake, Jules-hello everybody! I think I need to resurrect my list as I just can't keep up with everybody!

Meds did arrive this afternoon, but no testogel or progynova, like last time, so I'm going to contact my consultant. I wish she'd tell me what her plan is!!! (Love her!).

Took Gwydion and Ruby for a walk tonight (separately!! They are mad together!). Only about two miles, so no awards for me yet. But me and Rubes fed some horses with old apples that I had (HTJ, I hope they'll like that, oh God, I've probably given them severe wind or constipation, or both!!!). Ruby, of course, just wanted to jump up and kiss them. She's a nutter (but I loves her). And, 18 teaching days left before summer holidays start!!!! :happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance:
Get the picture????!

Love to everybody, I'm actually going to go now. Axxxx
 
See, straight away, I have forgotten somebody! Fly F-how are you?? Excuse my manners! :flower:
 
So, list needs updating.

Please post your details, as you would like them to appear, so that I can add to this list (e.g. your age, your DH's age, how long TTC, any AC, etc.)! If you're not here, please blame my amnesia, and don't take it personally, but just post your deets so they can be added. xxx
