If I were in your shoes....I would have 3 questions that I will ask myself to determine if I am ready to go for a FET.
1. Do I have the cash now....or am I going to dig into my holiday budget?
2. Would I be prepared to cope with another BFN right before Christmas?
3. What is the viability rate of thawing of embies at your FS? (i.e. are they of better quality if they were in storage for less or longer times?)

GL - not an easy decision to make right now.
But the price of R8000 - sounds great!!


1. We have already decided that we need to save first as we have already taken out of our savings to do IVF. So were definitely look at 2017.

2. December for FET is out of the question. Were travelling so far and i feel my family needs my undivided attention even if it is only for a few weeks! :P

3. This i need to ask the FS. Obviously we don't want them to get damaged. :(

My heart wants to go into a cycle straight away, but my head says wait! I'm going to "grieve" now and enjoy our holiday.

In the meantime we will TTC on our own until we decided on a FET date.

So opinions please!

FS called to discuss pricing for the FET cycles.

FET Cycle the usual price is R13 000 at them. They are doing it for us for R8 000? What do you ladies think?

Then the freezing is R3500 and there after R600 per year.

FS says we can do the procedures when we want to and pay them as convenient for us. I just feel that's taking advantage of them seeing as they have done so much for us already.

Hi Ladies

jooste - goodluck with the 2ww. fx that you will get a sticky bean.

Liza- I dont know what to say :cry: , I have been following all of you through your IVF journey, and I was convinced you will get your BNP.

Sorry for being MIA, I have been following all of your posts, I just cannot find the words to post. I feel so sad for all of you when reading about your heartbreak. My husband is very reluctant to have a baby, he keeps saying next year, next year. I have gone off contraception and hoping he will come around .CD13, and hubby doesn't want to BD because he is to scared I fall pregnant. He is the most amazing husband. He loves me to bits, and I him. I think he thinks that our lives will change to much and that he will have to share me and my time. So anyway, I feel bad to complain about my stupid little issues when you have much greater problems/heartbreak. You guys inspire me to be a better person, wife and hopefully mom one day. I think of you all, all the time and pray for baby dust.

Me:33
Hubby:38
Jan 2017 6wk MC,ectopic, lost one tube
April 2017 BFP, Now almost 6yrs old
July 2023 BFP

Beautiful Friends

So sorry that I have been mia lately. I've joined a network marketing business and is taking most of my time, but I have been ready the email notifications.

@Liza my heart bleeds as I read your story and the fact that AF showed her ugly face last night is the worst. Your such a strong woman and surely you will feel much better after AF vacates. You positivity is out of this world and I wish to only have just a tinybits of it. I pray that the next cycles you get your BFP natural.

@Chanti and @Jooste praying and FX for BFP next week Wednesday. @Chanti it will really be the best birthday gift.

@Nicola I'm glad you've recovered well. its good that your following your heart to get second opinion. your the one who knows how endo pains feel.

@Anzel my heatr breaks for you. if you feel like taking a break, do so, it will surely do you good. but you can still get your BFP before Christmas.

@Ayesha I pray that you get BFP on Thursday. We really need, its been long now.

Sorry for those that I've missed.

AFM: CD12, the BD'ing marathon has began and just hoping for the best. however, we've decided to not POAs and just take it as it goes. Hoping for the best.

Life can be so complicated. You have been through so much already.
I am really hoping for a BFP for you!!

Grow follies grow!!!

Anzel
No words.....I am crying with you - :cry:
It took us 43 cycles before conceiving our first born via IVF....and I took 3 breaks during that time to gather myself and I did not track my cycles and did not POAS at all. It gave me perspective and I managed to then start with new feelings of hope a couple of months later. Maybe take an official break for a month or three and then.....make a mark in your diary for when you will start getting back on the TTC wagon. It is good to take a break once in a while. AND....YOU WILL BE PREGNANT Again...and YOU will be a mommy one day! Say it, believe it....and live like it is going to happen in the future.

Lisa
Jip...just as many pg-fairies where I am. And....more and more announcing their good news as we speak. Just got another FB-announcement of a friend.

@ liza sending you huge hugs, i know there are really and truly no words of comfort when you set your heart on something just know that we are here for you...i am glad that we have this group of friends here, we became friends when we started this journey and we are friends that feel every heartbreak and disappointment with you....hopefully this journey is not at the end and maybe you are destined for a natural bfp??

@anzel its not easy, specially when you get closer to the time you were suppose to welcome your baby into this world...this road is a hard one, the heartache is very real and very seldom do the people around us actually understand the pain we endure....i know how you feel about wanting to be pregnant after the loss and months going by and nothing, my best advise is cry if u need to because you the only one that understands the loss you feel every month...dont bottle it up...we are here for you...

AFM

Still no news ladies....i am petrified to test....giving it till thursday and will see from there...my cycle has been 35 days prior to clomid and im hoping and praying im wrong and AF dont show up on thursday i will test.....

My brother and i are having it out, he is throwing his life away, he says he suffers from severe depression due to my familys deaths....i have lost the same mom, dad and sister that he has, i was literally alone before i got married when he himself threw me out and wanted nothing to do with me...and now i have also lost my only son...i beat depression and he can too but he chooses to wallow in self pity, he has two beautiful angels of daughters and he doesnt care how they are surviving and i am truly disgusted at him.....
