TTC for 12 months +

sweetpea I did wonder that..... but know how hard the "too hopeful" train can be so didn't mention it hehe might be worth a test? Maybe FA will suggest a blood test come Thursday anyway, if it still hasn't arrived?

Super quiet in here. How is everyone doing?

Mushroom did you get your appointment for your lap?

Sweetpea - any sign of AF? Call to the doc today if not right?

A.girl hope the injections are continuing to go well for you.

Hi sweetpea, I totally relate to how you are feeling, I was also like that too before my IVF, I was late every-time!! I'm not sure if your under funding? my funding just rolled into the following month and when I paid private it wasn't an issue, as you said you might be able to start end of June?? I'm sorry you are going through this at mo It's just frustrating isn't it and adds more stress to it which you don't need and its hard when you have mentally prepared yourself for a date too then it hasn't happened!! Don't worry too much about the drugs, I live 4 hours from WLG they send them overnight courier (you usually don't start drugs till day 2 depending on your protocol?) and we also have a pharmacy nearby that stocks the drugs that FA sends scripts to so I'm often picking up my drugs throughout my cycles from the pharmacy. Maybe ask them when you talk to them next and that will help ease your mind. Have they shown you how to do your drugs yet?

A.girl how are you getting on? urghh we were exactly the same with the menopur - DH broke several vials so I'm pleased to hear it wasn't just us lol! ;) Good luck for your scan tomorrow.

BC how are you doing? Are you still looking into doing another round?

Wow storm - I'm pleased your other DR is really looking into everything for you she sounds amazing. It's a real shame that this wasn't all looked into earlier by your FA Dr but at least it is starting to get looked into now.

Well I have now graduated from FA as of yesterday - had my first scan and everything was looking good and a nice strong heartbeat so fingers crossed all carries on well from here!!

Missy congrats on your successful scan. What a great feeling to have one good one under your belt. All the best.

Thanks for asking - pretty sure we've decided to go ahead one last time and are looking at my August cycle as netball will almost be finished. I live a similar distance from WLG too so get my drugs sent to Palmy usually but this time I think we're going to try and get them sent to work as the courier comes here everyday anyway. Which will save me a trip if I'm not heading Palmy way. Auntie I've been doing the same calendar thing lol. Trying to predict when I'll have scans etc. Useless really.

Sweetpea sorry your AF is being a beggar. Always the way hun never shows when you want it to.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Sorry life is a bit busy at the moment so I'm following but haven't been too commenty haha.

So rang yesterday and the nurse finally rang back late afternoon, do they always take forever to ring back? She sent through a bloods form so i did it last night so i hope to here from her today on what is happening with AF and were we go from here. I just hope i have an answer before the weekend, no knowing what is going on is driving me crazy.
Missy - yes we are on funding, so i am not sure if this will effect it or not. No, i haven't been shown how to do them, that is my main concern. I live 20mins out of town in Hamilton so getting them isn't an issue, how to use them is. Yay for the scan going well!
A.A - glad that things are going well. And that time off for hubby is easy. Makes things so much easier. My boss was the same when i told him about what was happening this year. 'Just let us know when you know you need time off' sigh of relief there.
Thanks ladies, its nice to be able to get on here and not feel so insane. My DH doesn't really get the ten million things going through my head, so it is nice to have ladies who do xx

Thanks for all the well wishes 😊 Scan went well with about 14 good sized follicles. I'm happy with that. Hopefully my blood work is ok too. Next scan on Monday...

Missy, congrats on the great scan!!! Yay!

Faith, the first needle is the hardest for sure but they do get easier. I don't think they hurt much at all - heaps less than a blood test.

AA, good luck with the next round of ivf. I'm sure the next teo weeks will fly by.

Storm, maybe you'll end up glad you got that fert cover. Especially if they find a genetic thing that they can do pgd to test for and prevent!

Glad the scan went well Agirl!! Grow little follies.

Sweetpea - when you mean the end do you mean the pregnancy test part or the egg collection part?
You'll be able to get the pregnancy bloods anywhere pretty much but if it's near egg collection it might be a bit of an issue as once you get to day 8 of drugs you'll start having scans every second day (usually) and bloods to see what you're body is doing. You're kind of at the mercy of the fertility clinic.
Hope that helps a bit more. And I hope AF hurries the heck up!!!!

AFM - TGIF!!! Gah what a day.

Hi Ladies. We had our egg transfer on Thursday. This is our second round of self funded IVF, first one resulting in a chemical pregnancy.   I am so, so nervous about this transfer. I don't know what I will do if it is not successful.   We have two frozen embryos, which is great, but my heart has taken a beating over the last three years that we have been trying for number two. I have just been googling how to not misscarry, FYI not a lot of info comes up
.   I feel like I am going to send myself to the loony bin over the next week or so while I wait for the results.

All the best Mama!

Can someone tell me with a IVF cycle do you ovulate naturally or is it induced with the trigger shot? I probably just answered my own question but just wondering if I usually ovulate round day 13 would that still be the case with a IVF cycle?

Faith they take over your body and control everything. All depends on how your body reacts to the drugs. With me I've usually had egg collection day 13ish but others might be later if their follies take a bit longer to grow. And yep you'll have to trigger via injection. The type they use depends on how your body is reacting.

Mama all the best while you wait. It's a total mind and heart *swear-word*. Hope you get your dream this time round.
