I was playing Coed Ball on a Monday night and I was talking to one of my girlfriends about the negative result of our first IUI. I was telling her how stressful the months preceeding were with cancelled cycles and cysts and finally we got to do the IUI and it didn't work. I was ready right then and there after only one IUI to move to IVF. The...

Okay, I am in my twelfth (yes TWELFTH) 2WW. I am only 2DP3DT and need to remind myself that previous results do not dictate what will be future results, and that I need to keep positive.

So, unlike the previous 11 cycles, I am going into this 2WW knowing that I will get my positive result - no butts about it -- I am going full tilt and screw...

Toot & stink AKA Sam & Nick are on board! I will have to google the grading system to figure out how good they are. They said one is a 2AA and the other is a 2BB. They said that is pretty good so I am hoping this will work!

The wait begins! I am crossing my fingers tight tight tight!

DH and I had a laugh while...

I'm both excited and stressed at the prospect of cycling again. We're looking at a November cycle and we've recently switched clinics. There was nothing wrong with the old clinic specifically but there were just a lot of little things that contributed to the decision to make the switch. Most of it boiled down to the fact that I...

So I'm terrible. I meant to do this post on CD1, which was on August 26. Yep, I'm not the most punctual person. LOL

Well, our cycle is underway. I'm trying to be as positive as I can, and to control my stress as best that I can, but it is hard. I didn't realize that it would be so overwhelming to go through this process. Some...

I decided to get hair extensions and went for a consultation yesterday. The woman said that 'it's ok for older women to have long hair nowadays'. I'm thinking...how old do I look? I always get told I look much younger (37 years) so I was a little miffed about the comment. Then she said, you don't look a day older than 32. I...

So I've been MIA for a couple of weeks, due to being really busy, spending time with family, going out of town, etc. Plus, I'm SO TIRED ALL THE TIME!

So here's a quick update on what's been going on!

I don't know if I ever posted my beta numbers, but my first beta (12p3dt) was 430, and the numbers doubled...

I am 7 weeks pregnant with a successful FET, I should be happy right? I had my first u/s last Wednesday and everything looked good, no issues. Wheew... I can relax... nope. I started spotting on Friday and I really tried to think positively and reasure myself that this is normal and not to worry about it. Then the color changed from light brown to...

The CFAS Annual Meeting is an important forum for the presentation and discussion of new developments in reproductive medicine and science.

An extensive exhibition will accompany the meeting, enabling delegates to...

Just keeping in tune with songs as my titles.

So here we are cycling for FET#2. How do I feel? Scared out of my ****ing mind.

Refresh: FET#1, Spotting started the week after transfer. BETA was positive, then BETA was negative. SUCKED MONKEY BALLS. Hairy ones.

Since then my periods have been all spotting for a week before they are due, then 2...
