Hi All

Gargy - Good luck for tomorrow...hope they get lots of good little eggies!! Thinking of you

Tarkine - Glad you are having a great pregnancy! Hope all continues to go well

Blizz - Nice to hear things are going well with your new addition to your family.... I will check out the other pics of little Angus as soon as I finish this post!

Dusty - Hope all goes well for Em's scan on Friday!

As for me I am still waiting for AF!!! I have been so horrible to DH this week.... I feel so hormonal just like before I get AF. But no she has not showed up yet. It's murphy's law isn't it.... when you dont want AF you get it and when you are waiting for it to show up it doesn't!!! Has anyone else had a delayed AF after a cycle of IVF? Maybe the 18 days of stims took it's toll!! I just want it to come so I can feel a little normal again and move onto our next step!!!

hello to everyone else!!

BLIZZ - I just saw your photos of Angus - he's absolutely precious, and so perfect! CONGRATULATIONS That's fantastic news.

Gargy - it's Friday morning and I'm thinking of you and sending you positive vibes for the collection of lots of excellent eggies.

I started the OCP this week, so am waiting to find out what my schedule looks like for the coming weeks. I travel a bit for work, so need to make sure I'm in Melbourne when I need to be - work can just take a back seat for a while!! Am very excited - at the moment it feels like a new adventure (am sure the novelty will wear off soon enough), but finally something is happening. DH is still needing to make weekly deposits, sometimes with success, sometimes without - but I'm hopeful we'll get there in the end.

Joy08 - I know what you mean about AF and now that you want it to arrive, it doesn't! I was like that all last week with every slight twinge sending me off to the bathroom with baited breath.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Today's the day Gargy!!!!....Thinking of you will check later to see how you got on, I send you all the best wishes I can muster

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your well wishes!

EPU went ahead today at 8am - I've written about it in detail in the blog.

However - the important information:

They collected 12 eggs, all of which were immature.

After watching the eggs as I recovered, 3 looked like they were able to be injected with sperm almost immediately.

Another 5 looked like they may grow during the afternoon.

4 unfortunately looked like they were not going to progress from this point.

So that we get a reasonable number of embies from this - we hear tomorrow (my fear is that none of them will be good enough.)
