TTC for 12 months +

Yeah I find keeping busy helped / helps me through the tricky times storm. Wish they could find out why it keeps happening!!! Have you got more bloods tomorrow?

How's everyone else? Grads included?

Still in bed reading my book and procrastinating about getting up as I told myself I have to get my school camp stuff sorted out today. One of those jobs that'll probably not turn out to be as bad as I make it lol.

Storm my heart just aches for you. I'm so sorry you have to keep going through this and that no one can tell you why. You are in my thoughts.

Glad you are in the process of another IVF cycle BC, I hope this is the one for you! Looking forward to following your progress.

AFM, I am about to ov again so crossing my fingers this is the magic cycle after my CP last month. Went out and had a sneaky wine with my hubby last night to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and had such a lovely (child free!) evening.....maybe that was just what I needed

Thanks BC and BG that glimmer of hope can be let go of now… right on que, not long after I posted yesterday morning, AF arrived! it's funny how AF arriving can put your mood back! I was starting to feel ok about the HPT's but getting AF is always just another reminder I guess .

I'm just so so baffled by it now as it happens the exact same every time - like clock work! I don't think the specialists take that onboard at all though. Might have a chat to my GP, I'm due to go see her for the dreaded smear, so might talk to her about it.

BG yaye for OV coming up! And good on you for living life and enjoying a wine. I did twice this past weekend! It's not as if never drinking is helping me! LOL

BC good luck for your scan today!

Grrr I have to go all the way back to Wellington tomorrow (after going on Saturday) for a scan and bloods. 7 hr round trip! I actually want to cry lol. They want a really good look to see what's going on then probably trigger tomorrow ec Thursday so another trip to Wellington. Man I frigging hope I get utd!!!!

Yay Bc for lots of eggies!

Lol no pressure soda. And sorry for being a bit blah yesterday - I'm lucky to even be going through this again and having the chance. We'll blame it on drugs haha.
So made my early morning mission to welly - arrived late thanks to appalling traffic. Stinky because our power went out in a storm and we're on a water pump so no water at home and no shower. Yet more joy of living in the country but wouldn't trade it for any other life esp after that traffic today!!!

Hugs nzvegie I'm sorry you've been feeling down.
And soda hugs to you too xxx

Thanks ladies. I'm finding it very hard to get motivated to do anything lately! I hate this point, just want this feeling of sadness to go away already! Ugh! SO I feel you right now NZVeg, and I hope you are feeling better today. I too am eating wayyyyy to much comfort food - and of course can't be motivated to exercise!

Anyways - BC hope the scan goes well today! I still find it crazy how quick the whole IVF stuff moves along! Do they still think it's looking like going straight to freeze?

Soda hugs hun! So sorry AF arrived. Sounds like a great idea taking some time for your marriage. DH has said to me before too that maybe it's just the one we are supposed to have - but then the next month he asks if I'm OV'ing yet LOL think his hopes are a little higher than mine still - which makes it hard.
I hope you guys get a whole lotta fun in together! And enjoy the "non timing" BD'ing

Oh Tulip so sorry hun! That really sucks for you. The money side of IVF is really hard to shake when it doesn't work at all huh. What do they suggest happens next when this happens? Do you still pay all the money etc?

Hi ladies,
Dropping in to say hi and wish you all well. A lot going on with the group - it surely is a frustrating journey!
Tulip, so sorry to hear re the drugs - when are you chatting next steps?

Hi ladies, thanks so much for your messages. We hadn't told anyone we were trying IVF so it's really nice to be able to share with you all on this forum.

Hi Nik26 sorry to read this has happened to you as well. I was taking 40 of Buserelin and 300 of Gonal F which they said was the highest doses they prescribe.

I've made an appointment to see our specialist mid Nov to figure out what to do next. I've previously done 5 monitored clomid cycles and always had 4 follies each cycle so maybe I can try IVF using a higher dose of clomiphene?? We paid a $6,000 deposit and the nurse said I'll get some of that back but no idea how much the meds cost.

My DP once said to me "At least you have a child of your own". That hurt sooo much, I feel like a failure not being able to give him a child.   My DD is 13, DP and I were together for 5 years before he agreed to start TTC. I told him that after age 35 our chances decrease but he said they were just statistics. Now 3 years of TTC and I partly blame him as I never wanted to leave it until late 30's before having more children. My low AMH shows that age is a factor in our troubles.

Sorry I'm venting/complaining which isn't right as I know some of you are trying to TTC#1 and I'm lucky to have DD.

NZVeggie my fingers are crossed for the next 2 weeks for you, hope the days speed up so the wait goes quicker.
