Big kisses from Emily Jade to all IVF kiddies :kiss: and big hugs to all their mummies from me:hugs:

My Emmy is 9 months so im thinking how cool would it be to meet up sometime:hugs:
here everyone have a hug too:hugs: i dont want to leave anyone out :)

[ButterflyKisses]

our DS is an IVF miracle too!!!!!

result of 3 years worth of tears trying by ourselves and then bingo first time lucky with IVF. Just wished that we had of gone to seek help much earlier than there would have been time for me to have another little miracle (hopefully) but unfortunately I'm not getting any younger.

Beckkles special BIG HUGS to you :hugs: you must have went through so much to have your little darling - thank goodness you and your DH never gave up hope - what a miracle for you!!!!

Aren't they all precious little souls.

I use to just sit and look at him all the time (and still do) awake or asleep and just say "I still can't believe he's ours". My mum calls him "Precious Pot" and that he is.

Hey do any of the clinics that you ladies went to ever have reunions of IVF babies??? now wouldn't that be great to get them all together. I'd love my IVF specialist to because it would be great for him as well to see how many couples he has helped to bless.

Lee,
Yep I'm a driver did the highway just a few times as under MIVF, I'd love to meet up some time. I often wonder whether they ever try and get all the sucessful ones together and take a big "look what we made" poster lol

Imagine if they did that poster idea, what a cool idea!!!!

Which doc did you see at Melb IVF beckkles?:hugs:

[~beckkles~]

I was under Micheal Gronow in the end. My prev specialist that had a sat clinic here decided to just do obstetrics. Had all my treatment and transfers done at RWH lol only found out about Freemasons when having my 6 week scan with Micheal. Ohh I ramble so much. Who treated you?
Bec

[SuperWoman]

I went through Dr Foster and John Mc Bain for treatment. I went through Dr Gronow as my OB he was fantastic. Next time I will go through him for my treatment. I had some of my transfers done at RWH too!

[~beckkles~]

Bradysmum
I had to make a decision on my obst care as I had lost 2 at 20 weeks prev, Micheal made me feel so much better about it when he asked me who was going to treat me and I said who he replied Ohh he wil get you to the end, and he was right. Wasn't too sure at the start but found him to be great at dosage and quality of eggies and when he put Eliza's FET in he said that is a great embie and whoohoo it was.
What a small world it is..lol

[SuperWoman]

Jeez, you have been through alot mate! Im so glad you were blessed with your little girl, she is gorgeous!! It is a small world isnt it?

[my babyemmy]

I also saw Dr Gronow at the Royal Womens :hugs:

[~beckkles~]

I am just thankful that there are very clever people in this world that gave us the chance. Ahh my reproductive life has been a saga BUT it is funny cause now when I look at Eliza all is forgotten, I'm sure you girls are the same.
LOL I think that is why I am going back ...long term memory loss hehe
Bec
We can all be proud that we contributed to Dr Gronows mercedes:thumbsup: rofl

[~beckkles~]

Hi Alison,
Congratulations on your second wonderful IVF pregnancy, I'd love to chat I'm about ready to go again. I know what you are saying about the 12 months flying. I was talking to a girlfriend saying when on IVF the 2ww was a killer but somehow the 12 months has flown:rolleyes:
Guee you decided to add to your family quickly lol

[Sodor]

Hey all i have a beautiful son through Ivf and it was our first attempt we had tried for years to concieve so was so thrilled that this worked for us. He is the absolute heart and soul of my life he is my everything. My wonderful miracle maker was Warren De Ambrosis he is a wonderful wonderful man who mad all my dreams come true.

[petster]

Hi all

My darling angel is nearly 13 months old and was conceived throuh IVF (ICSI)... We are having our second FET attempt on Friday - cross fingers...

We had 2 unsuccessful IUI attempts, and then fell pregnant on our 2nd IVF cycle - very lucky!!! We wanted to try for #2 last October, and had an unsuccessful FET. Our Dr wanted us to finish breastfeeding before we had another FET attempt - so my DD's last bf was on her 1st birthday!! We have 3 embryos left - enough for 2 attempts - but hopefully we'll get lucky with this transfer on Friday!!

Cheers!

[SuperWoman]

petster, good luck for friday!!!!!!!! I hope it all works out for you!!! Fingers crossed!!:fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed:

[my babyemmy]

petster- :fingerscrossed: :hugs: from us too

[alybel]

petster - i'll be hoping this is it for you!! Are you doing natural FET's? I did a cycle in november last year, but i had to stop breastfeeding before my dr would let me take the hormone replacement.

Bec - So, what are you plans with #2?? Got any dates yet?

[~beckkles~]

alybel: I'm trying to weigh the odds up to my best advantage lol which means umm no date set but my specialist is pretty good I would only have to give him a few days notice plus my Fets are always done with FSH injections. So it will be in the next month or so just wait for AF to kick start off it
Bec

[petster]

Hi all

Alison - The FET was a natural cycle... It took forever for me to ovulate this cycle (day 21!), probably because it was my first cycle after ceasing breastfeeding...

We have 1 embie left, so :fingerscrossed: it works for us this time... My beta is 28 April... It sucks, 'cause I'm working that day!! I don't want to be at work when I get the result!!!

Cheers!


P.S. Thanks all for the well-wishes...

[justj]

Our gorgeous little boy Locky is an IVF baby. We had to do 2 cycles using ICSI, but we got there in the end :smiliedance: He is now almost 1,:bday: we will probably try a a frozen cycle for a little brother or sister by the end of the year.:smiliedance: We have 3 day 3 embies on ice.

[SuperWoman]

Hi justj, congrats on your little man!!!!!!!!! Good luck with your next cycle:fingerscrossed: !!! I wanna have another one so bad, but I think we will wait till next year!!! Hope it doesnt take so long next time, thats what scares me the most!!!

[my babyemmy]

Hi girls, i have just been booked in for a scan for 27th April, it will be day 10 of my cycle so if its all good the embryo transfer should happen a few days after that!
hello to any ivf mummys i havent got around to chatting too yet, luv Lee & emmy

[SuperWoman]

Hi Lee, that is great news!!! Keep me updated please, best of luck!!!:fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: :hugs: :hugs:

[alybel]

petster - not long until your beta now, are you going to do a home test early? With this pregnancy i got my first bfp 8 days after my 3 day transfer, or the equivalent to 11dpo.

[~beckkles~]

lol and I'm going to tell you I did a HPT the day before bloodtest actually did 2 and got 2 BFN so I neally died when the nurse told me positive..lol
But my 2 other pregnancys I did get positive about 11 DPO

Hi there, I'm new to the site, I have been lurking for awhile and thought it was time I posted. I have just had my first IVF baby 14.04.2006 - Hamish. It was our third attempt (ICSI) and we went through Monash Clayton, our Dr was Beverley Vollenhoven. I still can't beleive that he's here and can't stop looking at him. It's amazing that there are some many of us in this special club, it's always great to know that your not the only one out there.

[my babyemmy]

hello justrace, well done on your ivf miracle:hugs:
Emmy & i hope to chat to you:wave:

Congratulations hun!!! Great news!!! :smiliedance:

[SuperWoman]

JUSTRACE, congratulations on your little boy!!!! I know what you mean:yes: , my DH and I could'nt stop staring at him and crying for the first few weeks. I think we were still in shock that he was actually ours!! Hope to hear more about your little boy!!!:D

[petster]

Hi guys!

I have news!!!! I'm pregnant!!!! My beta result yesterday was 217, so I'm pretty chuffed! I did cave and do a HPT (3 times!) on Wednesday, which was +ve, much to my surprise! I think that will make me due early Jan 07 - just before I turn 36!!

Hope everyone else is doing ok!

Cheers!

Hi Everyone, does anyone know the success on ICSI if you have had children naturally before?

I have two children, 7 & 9, and now blissfully married to a wonderful man. We both have children from previous relationship, and now want one together...

He had reversal and it didnt work too well, he has antibodies on the sperm. Hopefully they can wash it etc etc and it will be ok.

Was wondering if that because ive had two children naturally, does that mean i have an ok chance of holding it after the transfer? Assuming we have some and they fertilise..

[my babyemmy]

sorry Mel, i have no clue:hugs:
congratulations petster:kiss: :yelclap:

[petster]

Hi Everyone, does anyone know the success on ICSI if you have had children naturally before?


Pardon me for being a cranky pregnant b***h, but this is a thread titled "Who has an IVF child?". I would be very happy to answer your Q if you posted a new thread with the Q... I just don't think you posted your Q in an appropriate place! Most of us on this thread weren't lucky enough to hace conceived naturally! I realize you are in a asituation now where you have to go through IVF but still... I just posted that I was pregnant - a feat, because it is an IVF pregnancy, and you completely ignored my post!! I trust it was on oversight by you:( ...

Sorry to vent!

Cheers!

Congrats on your pregnancy Miranda! So happy for you!! :smiliedance:

[Meljem]

Gee, ok Petster, i am actually very sorry you are so angry. I am new to this site, and wasnt sure how things worked.

I will make sure i dont post in this forum anymore.

Sorry to upset you. I dont think i deserved that though

[petster]

Mel-j

You are right - I was probably a bit over-the-top...:o It wasn't the content of your post that made me angry, it was the fact that you apparently didn't take the time to read my post about being pregnant... It was such a huge thing for me, and you failing to make mention of it made me feel like you were trivilaising it... I'm sorry for my childish knee-jerk reaction to it! I wish you all the very best and hope you achieve some success with IVF...

All the best...

Miranda

[SuperWoman]

Hi Petster, a big CONGRATULATIONS that is fantastic news, im so happy for you!!!!:smiliedance: :smiliedance: :smiliedance: :smiliedance:

[justrace]

Congratulations Pester, that's great news. I hope that you have a trouble free pregnancy & a great birth.

Bradysmum, both DH & I were blubbering mess' when Hamish was born. I know what you mean about being in shock, I keep pinching myself. :smiliedance:

mel-j, good luck with your attempt. I'm sure that your doctor will be able to advise you on the stastics.

Thanks mybabyemmy & ivfmummy.

Congratulations to all that have had sucess & good luck to all that are still trying :fingerscrossed:

[Shajbm]

Justrace...Congratulations on the birth of Hamish...May you and your partner enjoy all the joys of parenthood...It really is fabulous. I hope to chat with you some more.
Petster...Congratulations :smiliedance: on your pregnancy...That's fabulous...:fingerscrossed: pregnancy goes smoothly and the birth is a good one...How are you feeling? I actually posted a new thread about coping with a child already and doing ivf, perhaps you could help with my question...Looking forward to hearing more from you.
