best of luck Tigga, fingers crossed for you

BulieJ hope you're well - how are you finding the fert monitor? Worth it?

Dutchie, how are you going?

AFM, AF arrived (late!) and am still taking a break. Planning a holiday and working on my new business. Haven't had much time to keep in touch, but am thinking of everyone. xx

The witch has turned up have my BT in the morning and results by 5pm tomorrow i don't feel real confident about it the pgd nurse was talking about my next cycle trying to turn my brain off from producing FSH to early which is why i have a lead follicle to early and how it's not good for ivf but i am nice and fertile for natural conception i don't know if she was trying to prepare me for the worst or what but i said there wont be a next cycle this is it for us anyway i will be back tomorrow arvo with the results cross your fingers and toes for me.

Tigga-how are you going any signs yet ?

[buliej]

Tigga - hope things are going well for you!

ferrals - best of luck with this cycle - I hope you get to move forward

anyos - enjoy the break - I know I have really liked taking a break. As for the monitor - if my eggs were good, I think it would be fantastic. Almost every non-ivf-er I know from home (the US) who has used it got pregnant by following it. But those with other issues - well, the monitor can't solve those unfortunately. It is very accurate in terms of tracking the day of ovulation - as well as giving you "warning" the day before so that you can take action IFYKWIM.

hard to remember what else is going on with everyone without going back to the old thread which I can't do now because work is giving out flu shots and it's time for mine...

[ferrals4]

Sorry for the me post in advance.

WELL IT WORKED!!!I don't know if it was the vitex or the diet change but my E2 went down to 187 and my FSH is 10 so i start my injections in the morning WHOOHOOOOO! I wont get my hopes up to high the cycle can still be cancelled at any time but finally i can start TTC my baby

[buliej]

That's great ferrals. Good luck. Would you mind reposting what you did to get you E levels down.

[ferrals4]

Thanks Buliej i went back on liquid vitex from day 1 of last period i only ate organic meat ,chicken and dairy as the hormones are high in estrogen i also switched to paraben free shampoo/conditioner/soap and dishwashing liquid as parabens are a synthetic estrogen that bind to our natural estrogen which make our estrogen higher it is in almost every personal product and is extremely hard to avoid look on th back in the ingredients it will have a fancy name ending with paraben but if you cut it out of the most use items like beauty products that we rub on our bodies and absorb it helps it is also in all plastic so never reheat in microwaves with plastic dishes or glad wrap use glass and paper towel i only did this for one month and it helped so give it a go.

[buliej]

Thanks for the list ferrals - I'll wait to see what my levels are after AF arrives and decide what steps to take then.

[Tigga]

Hey ferrals - great news!! Glad you get to start finally! I'm sure it will be a winning cycle for you. Good luck.

Anyos - I always feels sooo much better after a break - helps get perspective again on life. Enjoy!

BulieJ - How are you going? Hopefully well.

AFM, Friday is the day I find out - not long now. I had colour in the crinone discharge this morning (sorry if TMI) and lower back ache which gave me a burst of anxiety - because it's my AF precursor. I meditated and dampened the anxiety. As for symptoms, I have no symptoms - but I've never really had any in the past when I've gotten BFP's so don't pay too much attention. Friday will reveal all - until then I just for a miracle!

I'll post on Friday as soon as I can.

[ferrals4]

Aww Tigga i hope this is it for you i look forward to seeing the BFP tomorrow.

AFM-2nd day of injections and i already feel a light dull ache in my ovaries not painful at all i can just feel somthing is that normal so early

[ferrals4]

double post stupid computer

[Daisie]

Hi Ferrals

I think that is pretty normal to have a dull ache... I did anyway. It just means something's happening! Which is all good.

Tigga - got my fingers X'd for you.

I've got about a week until AF arrives, so am waiting impatiently to start my next cycle, hopefully FSH will be low enough. I had an absolutely shocking period this month (really heavy) and was just wondering if others have experienced this with the high FSH. I read that with early onset menopause this type of this can happen and I'm a bit worried that I may be going to fall into this category. One of my close female relatives has recently gone through early menopause at 36... any thoughts?

Thanks

Ok my E2 is 907 and i have to start orgalutan tomorrow on day 4 of stimming so now i am worried isn't that a bit early in the cycle.

[buliej]

Tigga - best of luck to you today...

[Daisie]

Ferrals - my next cycle is going to be Puragon on CD2 and then Orgalutran from CD5 or 6... so sounds similar to yours. I wouldn't worry. Better to start early than too late, you don't want to ovulate before EPU.

Daisie

[ferrals4]

Thanks Daisie i feel a bit better i have read of a few women starting on day 5 i usually ov on day 11 or 12 in a natural cycle so maybe that is why my follies are growing quick i just hope i don't have a big lead follicle we want them all similar size anyway that would mean this cycle will be over before i know it if i start orgalutran tomorrow day 4 i wonder when i will trigger maybe day 10.

[Daisie]

Yeah, I'm the same Ferrals. i normally O early. Sometimes even day 7 or 8. I think this has contributed to my infertility because the eggs don't get time to mature before ovulation. my mother had the same early cycle as well, but she had me when she was in her early 20's... so i figure she probably didn't have the endo battle as well as the early ovulation problem. I'll be happy if they start me on the Orgalutran early...cos I'd hate to get to EPU and have none left! Apparently they still show up on the scan because you still see the follicle, but the eggs are gone.... that's what my scanner girl told me anyway.

Good luck.

[Tigga]

Hi.

I wish I had better news to share but I don't. Today's result was a clear negative. No implantation registered. I'm actually going to sit on the sideline of TTC a while - it's taken it out of me.

Best of luck to all you ladies. I hope you get the success we all rightly deserve - but has eluded me to date.
