Meredith - Glad you are happy with your first scan Yes, I am hoping my eggies get the opportunity to bake a little longer so we get a decent number. Another reason why I think I prefer the Puregon, as the doses are in smaller increments. If my FS had put me up on the next click of Gonal-F, it would be 37.5 more, whereas only 12.5 with the Puregon. I do believe I need just a slightly higher dose from onset. So many follies just sitting around the 9mm mark, only about half looking like they might make it at this stage. Meanwhile I am having a similar issue with attending my Mum's group. None of them had any idea I had had some MC's until some months after the second loss. Then I confided in one or two about doing the MC investigation program with SIVF. Big mistake. Now they can't wait to get me alone and have weekly updates on my progress. Makes it really hard to go there and enjoy it. I know I am incredibly blessed to have DD. Most of them have churned out two babies now, some are even on their third. There is always at least two growing bellies there. I dream of the day I can have my turn and walk in and confidently say I'm PG, which will not be until the 2nd trimester.
Kel - wow - your follies are really pumping. I have just learned on this cycle that they aim to have your LH around 2 - my clinic said it is believed to do with the egg quality. Last cycle my LH was never over 1, even before the Orgalutron. This time I have been circling around 2, like you. This is a good start for us.
Sara - I've put on three kilos since my first IVF attempt in October. I have been wonderfully plateauing for years. So lately I have been trying to increase my walks (pushing DD on her bike) and have had a couple of attempts at a pilates DVD. Problem is, we are not supposed to diet while doing this IVF. I am not a huge person, but it has gone completely to my waist and my current wardrobe options are slim pickings! Good on you for starting your walking group Sorry to hear you are feeling a little awkward at work with your Manager.
Lisa - I hope you get a good result in the near future so you can get "back in the saddle"
AFM - doing ok. Trying to be healthy. Accupuncture yesterday, which always includes a lovely massage at the start. My E2 is rising very nicely now (Cuddlepie, happy again to say you were sooo right ). Next scan and BT tomorrow.
