**Calling all Adelaide ART/IVF ladies - Thread 14**

[Andi1234]

Hi ladies,
I've been missing in action the last few weeks so have alot to catch up on. Will read back through the posts later and do personals.
From what I can see, quite a few of you in the TWW!! Yay, I hope we get some good news from all of you soon xx
JayKay - I think I skimmed past a post that you have had some good follie stimulation. Well done hon. Finally something is going your way.

Lilybaby- how is your cycle coming along? Yay for holidays too!

Liv- where are you up to with the snarl. Have you stopped sniffing yet?

AFM - well I've been taking it pretty easy lately and just keeping my mind off trying to have a baby. After 4 failed cycles this year I felt I needed a break. I've been seeing a reflexologist who is really good and is also a remedial masseuse and she gives the most relaxing massages
I still haven't even been back to see the FS! I had a thorough health check up last week with my new GP and am going in to get the results of the million blood tests she had done. She's checking everything from vitamin levels to thyroid issues. Hopefully she comes up with something today. She was amazed that ivf clinics do not get these tests done before commencing ivf!!
Anyway, have a great weekend everyone xx

Hey everyone Just a quick update. Had EPU yesterday morning and got 5 eggies. Just found out that all 5 fertilised So now just have to wait and hope that at least one grows into a nice 5-day blastie .

[lilybaby]

Jaye - your post made me laugh , good for you for being proactive and deciding to start fsh straight away. I hope they called today and said continue with the jabs. I'm so glad that your scan went well for a fabulous cycle.

Waitinghoping - thank you for sending me luck for this cycle. I'll take all the positive vibes and luck that people can send my way . I'm so sorry to hear that your natural miracle ended in a miscarriage, that is just heartbreaking . Wishing you good luck for whatever you decide to do next.
Andi - it was lovely to hear from you, I'm glad you are enjoying your break, I think it's important to take a step back when it's been a long ivf journey just to take care of ourselves for awhile. I'm glad you are feeling relaxed. It's amazing how many tests aren't done at the beginning of the ivf journey, I agree it's crazy. I got some done at my last clinic after my 3rd failed ET but had to really insist, but it was really only when I went to KT and he ordered more bloods that I found out I have a thyroid problem - quite impoertant to know about really. I hope your test results are all good news and give you a clear pathway forward. Your massages sound divine. I've been looking at Jurliques website and trying to decide what to treat myself with. I'm thinking maybe a facial or pedicure or maybe both sometime between EPU and ET. I figure it should be safe cos it's natural products - what do people think?

Riversong - Congrats on 5 fertilised eggies. That is just fantastic. I would think you have an excellent chance of having a few blasties to choose from on ET day.

Liv - Hi hon, how are you and Cooper going? Are you surviving the zoladex?

Marzi - Hi, how are you?

Moo - how are you surviving the 2ww?

Hi to everyone else

afm, I'm on day 7 of fsh tonight and definetly have bloating and cramping going on for the last few days so there's a nice number of healthy, good sized follies developing. I have my scan and BT Monday so not long until I find out. Have a lovely long weekend everyone.

Hi Andi, glad to hear you are doing well! I agree the massages sound just lovely!

Riversong Yay for 5 fertilised thats great news
Lilybaby, im doing ok on the tww so far My birthday is Tuesday so tempted to POAS but it would only be 8dpt so not sure if i will

Bubbanails hope you are feeling better now with the HSG all over and done with

AFM yup in the tww BT is on the 10th, however have already decided if its not to be this time around then wil take a break till after xmas, this is our 4th transfer this year, and not sure i could do it again just yet. I also want more tests done, we have never even had the slightest hint of implantation but its like they have seen dhs morphology and stopped with that, i have only had scans and then just BT for levels and that is it, so quetion is what do i want them to test?? and if our FS says it will just take time once more i will change, so who are the more proactive FS at repromed? though i am sure my GP will order what ever tests i want also

[liv01]

Fingers crossed for all of you pupo

Andi thanks for asking I am so happy you are having a break and enjoying it I did it after five bfn cycles and it was the best thing that I ever did how is the reflexology going what is she doing ? I hope all your tests came back excellent xxx

Lily : I an good thanks can't beleive how fast the suppression is going appart from being snappy all is good lol

Jay that is fantastic 5 follies when you have a undetectable amh it give us all so much hope with the dhea

Asfm now in second month if suppression coping ok I just am a little snappy which I can cope with poor hubby though lol next injection on the 21st of October and will start lucrin in november they think that egg pick up will be early December just pray that I will get a perfect embie like Cooper cause of my translocation. On ivf I have never got to blast so that freaks me out a little but I dud with Cooper so fingers crossed xoxo

[liv01]

Who is up for a catch up ????

And when would suit everyone?

[moomechanic]

Hey ladies should we look at maybe starting a new thread? This one is getting very long, i would do it but dont know how to add the link in here to the new one, maybe someone clever can

[RiverSong]

Lost the plot today and just started crying. Feeling all weepy and haven't even started the crinone yet. Oh dear.

[moomechanic]

Hugs Riversong! are you just on Crinone or the progynova too? cause the progynove is suppose to help balance your mood. Hope you are feeling brighter tomorrow!

[RiverSong]

Thanks Moo. I'm just on crinone till my pregnyl shot, pathetic huh? I'd been feeling fine and suddenly it just hit me and seemed overwhelming. I'll bounce back. How are you going with the TWW?
