TTC for 12 months +

Hello my lovelies.
Hmmm thinking AF might not arrive till end of the week as pretty sure I ovd later than usual. Meh more waiting.

Anywho exciting stuff coming up for some and some blah stuff for others. As always thinking of you xx

I'm off to knit a few more rows then head to bed. 😘

Hello Ladies!

I'm not sure if anyone remembers me, i don't think i have posted in about a year and a half but i would like to join you again on this journey as we start back up after such a long break.

A quick run down from me again:

Me 28 hubby 33
Diagnosed PCOS, hubby is all well and fine in his department

3x clomid - no response
1x puregon - cycled cancelled due to other circumstances

I will try and read through everything but might take me awhile as i have been so absent. If there is any good news i congratulate the ladies! and i am sorry if some of us are still in here. *massive hugs* I have been thinking a lot about you guys and i hope everyone is doing okay.

I am mid through a cycle now, I'm back on Puregon daily (day 15 now!, sorest stomach ever!) as we have done the low and slow approach. I had a scan this morning and have two follicles, one on each side,an 8 and and an 11. Next scan is Friday, hoping they play nice and grow to a nice size! *cross fingers* Its taken me abit longer than when we did our last cycle to get follies, i think it was day 12 last time and i had three good sized ones, and i have a cyst that decided to show its ugly face this month. booooo:( but doesn't seem to be a cause for concern at present.

Yeah I had that detachment last cycle too, I got a bit excited a few days before egg collection and then it was just a series of highs and lows! I think it's part of our protection mechanisms.

Exciting Star, BC and Mrs I!! So cool to be starting injections/getting ready for FET. Wishing you all the best luck (need some in there!)

Bc... cycle buddies!!!! I'm starting stims on Friday with ec hopefully around the 27th (as luck would have it.... on my birthday). I was feeling fine about it till this avo when the clinic rang to say start Fri. I know I shouldn't put work ahead of this but I only have like 3 days left with my senior students and i feel terrible about deserting them so close to exams :-(

Hi everyone else! Welcome back to the old timers. As always, I hope we get some good news in here soon!

Hi everyone else! Lots going

You're taking leave to do the cycle a girl? Or will you miss th kids due to appts?
I get what you mean though re work. I feel super guilty about missing my class for ivf stuff. Usually I'd race back after scans and start late but boss said its just easier to find cover for the day so will be taking them off if needed. However worked out if AF is the weekend I'll have to go to Wellington twice over labour wkend for scans. Considering staying down there but we'll see.

Yay star! Cool that ivf is looming for you too.

Bc, we're over 3 hours from the clinic. And more like 4 with auck traffic. It's just not worth it to drive back and forth. Plus, they want us to be available at any stage for a scan - won't give me set dates. Oh well! I'm done with the course. ... they'll survive.

Hello ladies,

Thanks for the warm welcome :) its good to know i can come back in here and talk and let it all out again, as not many people know we have started back and im finding it really hard this time for some reason. I don't know if its because it brings back the emotions of last time or im just so nervous!!

It sounds like a few of you are starting up soon again, i hope AF's arrive and you can all get into it :)

It takes me half an hour to get to my clinic and i thought i had it bad!*hangs head* I feel for you ladies who have to travel so much, i wish it was closer for you! We don't get it easy do we!

Into day 18 of stims, has anyone had to do it this long?? I did the bad thing of google searching and i feel like something is wrong with me having to do it for soo long, I realize everyone is different but i am so bloated and my stomach is so sore from jabbing, i find i can't sleep at night and im so achy :( I guess its just from everything expanding?

Has anyone else had side effects from puregon?

Agirl I had a giggle at your earlier comment about your class - yep if they haven't got it now then they're in trouble for exams lol.
I wish I could take the week off, would make life easier. But with testing and reports being on right smack in the middle it's not the best idea.
Last cycle I did they made me come all the way to them for a scan (on a week day) because they wanted to look themselves. Guess that's the risk that's run going to another place for scans. Luckily that time it was school hols.

Sorry Jmm I've never used puregon nor had long stim sessions. My ovaries are bit crazy on the stims, I remember that awful full achy feeling well.
Been thinking today (well ok I've been dreaming lol) about what if AF just doesn't come? Because by some miracle I'm UTD...I know RIDICULOUS considering the need for a donor...I actually don't think I'd know what to do with myself. Like actually wouldn't know what to do! Bahaha but one can dream...like it's actually going to happen naturally right.

Hi ladies!

Mrs I yaye for transfer today! Good luck!

Amie that's great you are starting to feel normal again, and good on you for really going all out over the weekend with wine cheeses etc I think it's totally called for sometimes! As for acupuncture, I once used Janine at Motherwell in Auckland for fertility accupuncture. She was great and so lovely... was just another one of those things I tried, didn't work for me, so I stopped. But they were great there at Motherwell.

JMM2B good luck for your bloods tomorrow!

I had my scratch done yesterday. Was super quick and I didn't feel a thing. I had no cramping, no bleeding or anything afterwards... which of course makes me paranoid that he didn't do it properly LOL I wanted cramping or bleeding! haha
