    Great news K1!!

    all the best to everyone else with the next step...sorry for not more personals just now, in a bit of a rush at work

    and as for me, bit bummed today, as once again I am not baseline on the synarel...so therefore today's planned start of injections has been put on hold for another week...if I am still not baseline then, the cycle will be cancelled very frustrated and a bit upset...this happened last time too though, and after the extra week I was set to go, so I hope the same happens this time. Silly body is not cooperating...cmon body!

    I am going to be away for a week, so will check on you all when i get back

    Hi girls,
    Sorry for short reply but am absolutely drained tonight.
    Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you all.
    Possums for you, I really hope that the synarel starts working for you and you are able to start stims very soon, I hope that you are okay and your time away helps you feel a bit better.
    Esperan, I am still actually feeling a bit sore from the egg pick up so have been a bit more cautious anyway but yes I am feeling very protective of my tummy, finding myself being very aware of it and thinking that I have a little embie in there, it is a strange feeling am trying to keep busy and keep my mind off it but today just dragged!
    Anyway thinking of you all, keep us posted everyone

    Possums, hope things get better for you next week...

    Girls, just came back from the gym and needed to say something for you all: THANK YOU!!
    Because I haven't told anyone about what's going on with the IVF (actually the only person who knows is my mum and she's not in Australia) you have been my friends to share with... and I'm so GLAD to tell you my little thoughts and to hear your experiences...

    Big group hug for us all!!

    Possums - why haven't they considered using Lucrin? I swapped to that when the Synarel wasn't working for me and everything was smooth sailing after that. I know its way more expensive, but it does work.

    K1 - brilliant brilliant brilliant news. I am so glad all things are coming back good and I hope that you have a smooth full term pg ahead.

    Meo - Sorry I didn't get to wish you good luck with epu before you went. Hope the results are positive.

    Esperan - The support is pretty comforting, so glad we can all help each other out.

    Cadence - Hope you are resting as much as you can, my nurse did say it could take a few days to settle the tummy down. Esp once ET happens and more hormones want to run around.

    Me: EPU was pretty okay, got 10 eggies which is exactly what I was hoping for. No hcg shots this tww woot. Start the crinone tonight for transfer tomorrow. Have to ring to get fert rates shortly. I feel pretty positive atm, even though I also came down with a cold last night. Belly is tender, but resting really helps and I had heaps of water as instructed.

    Sorry if I missed someone, just rushing to go lie down again, been sitting up too long this morning.

    K1 - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm so excited for you and hoping that you've set the trend for everyone in this thread to get the best possible results this round.

    S'rose, thanks for your thoughts and congratulations on your egg pick up as well. Hope there are plenty of them fertilised so that you can have a few snowbubs as well (but we all know they won't be necesswary this round, right? )

    Sorry no more personals atm as am still quite mentally dull from sedation, but we have FANTASTIC news. 19 eggs!!!!! OMG, I was so happy that I cried in the recovery room when my FS told me. Looks like the odds might be in our favour this time around. Last round we got 6, four mature, so even if a few of them aren't mature, we're still looking good. I've just rung my mum, dad and two of my siblings to tell them, I'm so excited! lol Don't know how many are mature, the scientist is going to ring me tomorrow with that and fertilisation rates. I knew I had a good feeling about this cycle for a reason Also, apart form straight after the procedure, NO cramping . . . this is also excellent, although I'm now off to take my hot water bottle to bed and sleep some more. Helps to process the sedation and because we were up at 5.45am to get to hospital at 7 for admission, but arrived at 6.30 due to no traffic! Still, worth it for the outcome!

    Take care, ladies. I'm going away for the weekend too, so I'll check back on Monday after transfer and update again. Have an awesome weekend, I know I will

    10 eggs went to the lab, 7 matured and were injected, 6 are still viable. I think its good when the lab man is sounding very positive about your results, so I take it this is all going really well so far.
    12.45pm tomorrow I am going to be PUPO with a potentially nice strong embie.

    Meo - Fantastic news hun, what a relief after all that waiting. Rest up, lots of fluids and by next week there will be a few in the tww.
