    Just in addition I should have thought of this before but was just reminded as my cousin just then called me on Skype.

    On her first cycle, my cousin who has PCOS only had one make it to transfer, with nothing to freeze - so only one chance (I think she had five embryos fertilise. This little embryo just turned two and was chatting to me on Skype. My cousin is now pregnant with her second IVF baby due in early January with exactly the same scenario. It does happen - it DOES happen!

    okay, feeling much better with all the support from you guys. thanks heaps.

    DH came home and also seemed disappointed - for me more than himself I think - but kinda nice. I left the letter where he couldn't miss it by the front door so he'd just read it and I wouldn't have to say anything (and TBH (to be honest) maybe I was testing him a little

    anyway.... said his boss had asked him how things were going the other day. Boss used to work on machines and equipment used for IVF (they are engineers - DH services and installs pathology equipment), and apparently he said that frozen embryos are often less successful than fresh.

    dk if that is true or not. anyone know?

    We had one lonely emby - and nothing to freeze and now have a happy, healthy 2yo - it really only takes one Hang in there babe, you may just have a sticky one making a comfy home in there right now

    Re Fresh v Frozen - Embryo Freezing Technologies have really improved in recent years, I have many IVF friends have have had babies from fresh and frozen emby's - it really is a lottery sometimes

    It really does only take one, and you are PUPO.

    Re fresh vs frozen I think the stats overall still favour fresh.

    Good luck honey. Sending you loads of sticky vibes.

    just sending thanks to those I missed.... Ash, Maruschke, Mad B and MummyNaomi

    am feeling okay with the whole thing, and much better - really appreciate the support - I didn't think I'd get as much out of this as I have. So thankyou all so much.

    7 days to go.......

    if I POAS would it show up yet??? I'm not a POAS addict.... and don't want it to be -ve so probably won't.... just wondering..... maybe I will early next week -- especially if AF doesn't show....
    ET last wednesday - D22, and I'm due anytime now (D29), till saturday..... but have been as late as D35 before...
