Spring - I know how you feel about the no exercise. It is frustrating. Gosh exercising up to 30 weeks last time -that's great. You must have felt so good. Sounds like your jabbing is going OK. Another tip I find is to grab a bit of fat on your tummy (well for those that do have it - i do!) and pinch it then stick the needle in. I'm in pain from the pinch so dont feel the needle.

Pilar - I hope your little one decides to turn around and you can have a natural birth. But either way as long as he/she is healthy that is the main thing and you have to be guided by your doc. Do you know what you are having?

Waterlilly - thanks for telling me about your DS from 4 follies. That's great news and very inspiring. Hope you are OK. Are you on track for another cycle in Sep/Oct?

Chloe - sweetie - thanks for thinking of me and your kind words. Wow 27 weeks - that has gone by so quickly. Can't wait to hear how your next scan goes. Do you know what you are having too?

Jane - hope you are going OK and enjoying trying naturally. I am also on antagonist cycle.

AFM - I'm Ok. still jabbing. I am so tired I feel like I could fall asleep at my desk and I have headache. But all part of it I guess. Forgot how out of it the drugs make you feel.

Hi guys

how is everyone going?
Peaches... it takes a lot out of you I had a headache for days when stimming last time so I feel for you. Do you have any panadine forte?

Springy
- hope you're going ok - try not to bite your DH's head off wink.gif

Chloe glad to hear you're going well - you must be really excited now.

Jane sorry to hear AF found you

Hi Waterlily thanks for asking about me, how are you going?

Hi to all the other ladies - I hope you're all going well.

I had my FET today - I finally got a +OPK on CD 37 - that's a record for me - so FET today on CD 40! Urgh. We only managed to get one 7 cell embryo out of our 3 frozen but that one made it so fingers crossed. I can't help feeling like this cycle was a bit jinxed from the start but will try to see the bright side. BT is scheduled for 31st, but I should know by the 25th if something is up or not. Off on holidays on the 1st so something to look forward to regardless...

Emski: Good luck with your transfer. Fingers crossed for you.

AFM: Very upset today. AF was late for one week. I knew I can't be pregnant cause I read on the internet that progynova tablets that I take makes the period come late. Also no symptoms and my BBT was going down. You can't help hoping though. I finally did a HPT. It was BFN.gif . cry1.gif . Now my period is all over the place really.

I wish that FS warned me about this. Anyway I left a message with her.

Have a good weeked everyone.

Hi Ladies,

Waterlilly, - It's impossible not to hope when AF hasn't shown up. I'm so sorry you had such a disappointing outcome. bbighug.gif

emski, - best of luck for your 2ww. As the cliche goes, it only takes one right. hands.gif I'll cross all my fingers and toes for you.

AFM, - Chromosomal tests came back. I had a partial molar pregnancy. Due to my age my Ob has given me the ok to start TTC again once hCG comes back to zero, (get 1st BT results back tomorrow) instead of waiting the obligatory 6 months. He said it's a very low risk of mutating again anyway.
Wedding tomorrow, and all the family are here. I hope we have everything done. wacko.gif

I hope you are all having a good weekend.

Luci...

Luci - Good Luck with the wedding! The day is finally here- enjoy it! I look forward to hearing how it all goes. ddance.gif wub.gif cclap.gif hhugs.gif

Waterlily - bbighug.gif ...a whole week late! Wow, I can understand how your hopes would have been raised. We get our hopes up and our mind goes "perhaps my body has managed it".....I'm really sorry that it wasn't the case this month. What are Progynova tablets for Waterlily? I hope that you FS called you back and was able to talk this through with you.

emski72 - isn't a 7 cell a good indicator of a strong embryo? Fingers are crossed that it is. Welcome to the 2WW! (interpret that as two week wait, two week worry, two worst weeks.....).

Hello to everyone else. How are things going?
Chloe

Hi guys

Congrats on the wedding Luci - I hope it all went well.

Waterlily sorry to hear about your delayed AF - that would do my head in too. Big hugs to you.

Chloe, you're probably right a 7 cell is good - I don't know, I just got in my head that this is a dodgy embryo... not sure where it came from, probably from my day 40 ovulation (which has nothing to do with my frozen embryo anyway!). I guess I have as much chance with this one as any - I'd like to think if he / she survived the thaw it might be the strongest I have.

Hopefully one of you might be able to answer this question for me - if I switch fertility specialists within the same clinic do I have to do the police check again (in Vic)? Or is it only if you change clinics?

em - I would think if you are staying with the same clinic you wouldn't have to do another police check. It was the clinic that requested this of us (I'm in Vic too) not my fs. Just give them a call I'm sure they can tell you. My fs told me that the embies that survive the thaw are the strongest ones and usually you get a higher chance of success with them - so fingers, toes and everything else crossed for your little embie!

Waterlilly - I'm so sorry af is playing games with you; I had this af before last and I did two hpt's and had my hopes raised. It's not long until you start cycling again isn't it?

Luci - how did the wedding go - huge congrates to you and your dh original.gif Sorry to hear about your results but in a way I think it's easier to find out what went wrong then be told there was no reason for the m/c Great news you can start again too, it doesn't ease the heartache but at least you can move forward.

Peaches - good luck with the jabs; when is your next scan?

afm - start opks again today so hopefully get a + some time this week and dh and I can get dev (6).gif again - ahh the joys laughing2.gif

Hi chloe, spring and everyone else I have missed.

edited - cause I'm a crap typer / speller!

Luci : Hope you had a most wonderful wedding celebrations. cclap.gif hheart.gif

Peaches and Spring_Rain : How are you ladies going with your cycles. I prey for very healthy eggs. hands.gif

Ellie and Turquoise: Hope you are travelling well. waves.gif

Liltuss: Lots of sleepless nights or baby is a sleeper? hheart.gif

Emski:
Thank you. I am not sure but I think it should be the clinic.

Chloe and Pillar:
Hope you are travelling well with your pregnancy

Kez and Pingy:
How are you ladies doing?


AFM:
Chloe I am taking progynova cause FS thinks my lining is thin due to very light period. I get spotting on day 1 and 3 and little bleed on day 2. Sorry for TMI. She just told me it is because my egg numbers are getting low. oomg.gif I only had this after my d&c. I don't feel that confident really about the whole thing now. ddown.gif

Take care. xxx

Luci - I hope you had a fab wedding. I am sorry to hear your results for your MC. Great you can start TTC again.

Waterlily - sorry AF turned up for you. A week is a long time to be late. I can imagine it did your head in.

Em - yay you are in the TWW. All the very best of luck for you. Fingers crossed this is it.

Spring rain - how are you going with your cycle?

Jane - good luck trying naturally

Hi to everyone else

AFM - EPU tomorrow morning. Stopped jabbing Sun night and had trigger last night. Was over it by the end let me tell you. Just felt so sick this time around. And the dr even lowered my dosage last week and I still felt crap. I am sure I never felt this bad last year. The joys of IVF. Oh well at least the jabbing is over!
