I'd love to do personals - but I'm exhausted - we've had a fun, but very busy long weekend.
I had my scan first thing today - 2 follicles growing - not yet at the right size, but she thinks they will be and wants me to trigger tomorrow for Thurs retrieval. I'm happy about there being 2 because with Clomid, you don't know - 1 is often the outcome. I just hope there's 1 good egg there. Although they were open today, the clinic was so disorganized. They couldn't find my file (my FS said the clinic had it, the clinic insisted FS had it) and thus they weren't able to answer some of my questions. So I'll have to call my FS tomorrow. It wasn't really confidence inspiring.
I too find the wheat grass powder mixed with water to be fine - funny, I thought of green tea as well.
by the way - what's with the jumping rope - what will that do besides help your cardio??
HI lovely ladies. Sorry I haven't popped in lately but just lying very, very low atm.
Kel - Oooh how exciting to be starting again now. Thats great news! Hopefully the whole new combo of protocol will bring you that one good embie.
Sara - looking forward to seeing you start again soon too. We need some more good news in here
CP - when are you going again. Are you doing antagonist this time?
WTH - great avvy girl! Just haven't been ready to do mine yet
WLAB - Hoping this is THE cycle for you and lots of lovely eggies in there very soon
Buliej - Yay at 2 follies! Hope things go well on thurs. Darn the silly clinic though! I really hope you don't need to do the switch but if you do, i hope you find Lynn and Monash a bit better for your needs.
Something strange going on with the thread - can only see Meredith's post once I clicked reply.
Meredith: Nice to hera from you - thanks for cheering us one. Hope you're going okay, was following your story in the other thread.
WTH: Tried the tomato juice on Monday but really do't like it so conveniently forgot yesterday - will be a better girl today.
Buliej: Yeah for the two follies, hope they keep growing nicely - keeping fingers crossed for EPU - just wondering, are you doing ICSI? Don't worry about the jumping rope, it's just a tip from the book of the lady with the high FSH I told you about - guess we're all collecting our bag of tricks. I tend to add everything that I can cope with....as long as I think it can't hurt.
WLAB: Thanks for expaining the flare cycle, keep fingers crossed for ultrasound on Friday - did you take the pill before starting?
Cuddlepie: Not long now - was wondering how much water you use with the wheatgrass, I had done it in a shot glass but after you and Buliej said you don't mind it so much did today one teaspoon on a full glass of water and thought it was quite okay, stupid me
Kel: Great that you can start , hope you;re going okay with the Synarel.

AFM: not much happening, had to cancel my weekend on health retreat as I had forgotten the 50th birthday of a girlfriend this weekend, glad I remembered soon enough at least. Starting to find that with all that's happening on the TTC front it's very hard to keep track of anything else.....
Buliej - wishing you all the best for your egg retrieval tomorrow. Hope it's a beauty and the change in protocol has worked out. Looking forward to hearing how it goes
Thank you everyone for the wishes - you all are so kind and so supportive. and, yes - we are doing ICSI. Didn't need it the first time, but have since, so my FS has already "ordered" it.
I use a mug for the wheatgrass (just a silly habit) - 2 teaspoon full and filled half up with water - it tastes fine.
Busy day at work here - and I won't be in tomorrow because of the retrieval, so better get back to it - will check in tonight from home.
Buliej - good luck tomorrow, fingers crossed to healthy eggs.
Hope everyone is well and happy
AFM: One result has come back, my full chromosone test is all good normal xx's.
The geneticist is expecting Brendans results to be to her within a couple of weeks. Luck I'm a patient person.......
Bullie: All the best for tommorow, I hope these one or two eggs are just the right ones, we may bump into each other, I am going in Fri, and two visits next week, all being well.
Lisa: We havent spoken before, I am glad you have some tests back, and they are clear
Lisa - good to hear from you, hun. Great to know your chromosones have been given the "all clear". I still do not understand why these tests were not available to you here in Australia. It is ridiculous how tedious this tyranny of distance has been for you. Unlike you, I am very impatient and cannot believe how long this has dragged on for you. I look forward to hearing your future results and hope it will answer the questions you are longing to understand.
Sara, currently I am doing 1 and half teaspoon with 3/4 of a glass of water...but I will be increasing it to 2teaspoon soon. They say you have to start gradually otherwise you get naucious from wheatgrass, so far I am feeling fine and I feel really healthy of drinking those green water...
Julie, best of luck for tomorrow, I hope those two eggs are with the best quality.
Lisa, good to hear that all chromo tests came back ok, what a relief. Hope soon you will be able to start again....
Good to hear from WTH and Meredith, I hope you are both doing really well!
I'm quite anxious this time. Not so much about the retrieval tomorrow but Friday. For the last 2 cycles, I've gotten the call on the day after retrieval to say none made it overnight. I held it together the most recent time, but the time before I lost it and had to run into the bathroom at work and I think I will be the same this time.
Lisa K - glad your results are good - it is amazing how long they take
Buliej: keeping everything crossed for your eggies to fertilize.
Lisa: great that you now have at least some results and that they are clear, thinking of you and keeping fingers crossed for the rest of the results.
WTH: Hope you're well.
WLAB: Hope you're going okay with Synarel
CP: I didn't know that you have to increase the wheatgrass, have only had one teaspoon every morning but will increase this now, thanks for telling me.
Hi Everyone - back from my egg pick up - and long nap - I was the first patient this morning - had to be there at 7am. Anyway, we got 2 eggs! very exciting as this is the best possible outcome on clomid. Of course, they know nothing about the quality - but at least there's a chance. I told my FS that I didn't want to hear from her tomorrow! My embryo transfer will be on Saturday if all goes well - just have to coordinate acupuncture once I know the time.
just popping in here to wish you all the best of luck with your cycles and say hello...I realised I have chatted with many of you before, or else you've been there for me when I have needed support.
Julie, glad to hear two eggies are collected. Hope you will hear some good news soon and nothing will stop the TR day on Saturday, will be thinking of you then...
Thanks for your wishes everyone....& nice to see you Possums (I've been wondering whether you've received any test results from all those viles of blood you had drawn).
WLAB - good luck with your visit tomorrow - is that for a follicle scan?
I think it's almost time for my daily wheatgrass fix.
Lisa
and the change in protocol has worked out. Looking forward to hearing how it goes
