GOLD!!

SM - oh how I hope you are thinking wrong and it is BFP on your blood test today...but you kind of know in yourself too don't you...biggest hugs hun...know how you are feeling.

Shelby - so sorry to hear your are back on BCP...but look forward to your cruise and it is good that your DH and you are talking about the next step...I think if you can get your progesterone cream then you will be ok...you seem to have no trouble actually getting pregnant (unlike the rest of us!) but need some extra support...will they put you on something like crinone to help?

As for me...am laying a bit low while nothing is happening - trying to remove myself a bit from it all and have a break...plus I am not sure, but I think I have been found on here by somebody I rather didn't know all my business so am not saying too much. Pity we couldn't have a more private group on here!

All the best today Studymuffin - am still holding hope for you! Will pop back later.

[StudyMuffin]

Sorry to hear about your stalker bokbok. Probably have a couple here that have figured out who I am, but meh I don't care .... in fact probably doesn't hurt for them to know that my life isn't all sunshine and lollipops and if they get some kind of satisfaction out of that, well then I trust karma to even the score. But at the end of the day it is essential to my sanity to be able to talk to others that are going through the same thing and to know that I am not alone, that the universe just hasn't singled me out for s..ts and giggles, and to find support in the only others that could truly understand. *hugs*


The clinic still hasn't called in the official result. Why do they always leave the final results so late, I got the BT clinic first thing? Is it because there is more of a chance of you being home than work to break the bad news? All my hormone balance ones come back to me by about 2pm. I have to go to daycare to pick up DS soon, not a call I want to receive doing the daycare pick-up.


My boobs are still sore, nature is mean.

[Shellby]

Studymuffin, sorry you are still waiting for your results. My HCG results were always quicker than my hormone ones, however my progesterone had to be sent to another town so it always takes 2 days to get that result. I was lucky once as she knew why I was there, took my blood straight out the back and came back 5 minutes later with my HCG result. One positive of living in the country and everyone knows you and wants to hope with you.

Bokbok, I understand having a break. Even though currently we are not TTC due to being on the BCP, I still like coming into this group - feels like home to me. Please don't be a stranger. I'm like studymuffin, I don't care anymore if people IRL know its me, once upon a time I didn't want anyone to know and would stress if someone did, but now most people know my history IRL after 5 years it was a secret that was getting me down and I wanted people to understand why I didn't always gush over pregnancies at work or newborns. However I understand your reasons.

[StudyMuffin]

Yes official negitive - recomend IVF. I've got to go back and see the FS. Need to have a chat to DH sometime about what he wants to do, I might let the 'wound' heal a little first though before we start talking about the next step.

Shellby, that's nice that they'd go make that special effort for you. Hows your son going?

[HaleyW]

So sorry Studymuffin...I've been checking on you & was so hoping you'd have good news to share...the next step (IVF) is a tough one but I think you know when you've had enough low tech fertility treatment (as they called it) and for me it was a relief to be moving on when we made the choice after 6 mths ovulation induction & IUI. Good luck with what you decide. Thinking of u. Take care all.

[Shellby]

Sorry Studymuffin on your . I hope the wait to see the FS is short and not to bad on your emotions. I always hated the waiting.

Hows your son going?

He is fine, we are on yearly MRIs now unless he has any changes. Because of his condition being a NTD I now take extra folate for just in case.

[Izy Bee]

SM, this is unfair...I know when I found out IVF was my only option, I was devastated. The cost, the upset...everything .....but it was the hardest, yet most rewarding thing I have done. It took 2 years for DH to agree, with plenty of fights as well, and my parents helping to fund the procedures....but now that I'm 28 weeks pregnant..all that has faded, and I'm enjoying each kick....even tho I still winge a bit, I'm am forever grateful that IVF has given me the gift I was longing for....
Good luck!

Warning total whinge fest today.

Well it seems that my body is just refusing to participate in this cycle. Since my ultrasound on Thursday where the doc found a 10mm follie on each side, i now have just 1 on the right at 12mm. Grr and that's with an increase in dose for the last 4 days. So disappointed right now. To make maters worse my doc is away till Friday so i had to see a locum. He is however having bloods done today and repeated on Wednesday to double check everything, so for that i am great full. They have booked an ultrasound appointment for Friday which i could in no way get to fit into my schedule. Is it wrong to have to drop a full morning of clients just for 1 routine ultrasound? Right now i just want to tell them i cant have it done and go it alone till the end of the cycle. Start from scratch later. Hoping to hear from clinic re bloods this arvo.

[Shellby]

#4please - Sorry to hear this cycle doesn't seem to be doing what it should. I hope your bloods come back fine. Can you get the U/S early in the morning before work at all?

I'm wanting to know what the hell is up with this damn BCP - I'm sick of the spotting - hello reason I'm on you is to have no spotting, no AF nothing.....wondering if maybe I should go on a different type or try holding out for another week and see if my body settles down.
