    HI ladies, sorry I haven't been in to support my dear friends. Just very emotional and stressed with everything going on atm. Barely able to support myself

    WLAB - Great news that you have 2 on board ( day 3 or 5 transfer?). Praying at least one of them burrows in for the long haul

    Buliej - hoping the TWW is not sending you to crazy. When is BT?

    Sara - praying you get to start a cycle very soon. All the waiting is a strain eh?

    Kel - Best of luck that this is the last cycle for you. Great news re DH's swimmers.He must be very proud of himself!

    my BT is the 27th - but the last BFN cycle, AF arrived prior to test date -- and last BFP cycle, POAS tested positive fairly early - so we shall see - trying not to POAS until at least Monday

    Hi Girls,

    Meredith, thanks for dropping in I was following your journey in the other thread, I think you are a very strong woman, thinking of you and sending

    Buliej: Don't make me coming inthe other thread, ia m very exited for you, hope your BT on Thursday will confirm the news.

    WLAB: Same for you. It sounds like a really great result two on board and even a frostie, hopw the TWW is treating you well.

    Kel: Where are you up to - did you alreayd have an ultrasound? Hope everything is going well.

    CP: Hope you are going well.

    Lisa & WTH

    AFM Nothing to report, impatiently waiting for AF which I'll hope will arrive soon as it was due on Sunday, very nervous about FSH BT.Strange thing is I haven't yet had any cramps, since being off the pill I had really bad cramps a few days before AF, so either it's way out or it's different this time. I was mentioning it to my acupuncturist yesterday and she seemed to think it's a good sign....who knows.

    Sara - I stopped getting AF cramps about 2 months into accupuncture (mine were never that bad - just the first day, and pretty mild). My acupuncturist also said that's a good sign - that you shouldn't really get cramps to begin with.

    Morning everyone, sorry feel really bummed and not in the most positive space, so gonna keep this short...but I am so excited for Julie, I hope the lines are getting darker and darker...

    I had my second b/t and u/s today and seems to have 7-8 follicles altogether, which for me is not stunning just fairly normal. I am a bit worried about the sizes varies so much and I won't be ended up as much as I wish, like the biggest one is 20mm and smaller ones are 10mm.

    Anyway, just things you wonder along the way really to make it not much fun... Maybe its my expectation of this being a short cycle, but I really feel that I've been on this forever and my estimate is still have another 3 days to go, ahhhhh.....

    sorry for the vent and I hope everyone is having a better day than me.

    Sara, hope AF will show up soon and praying for a good FSH level to start. I also think less cramp is a good sign and that your body is more in-tune now. Good luck hun!

    CP - That number of follies sounds decent. I know you want a good number for PGD, but remember, it only takes 1 good one. It can get annoying when people say that to you, but it is true - this is coming from someone who barely gets 1 good egg out of a cycle - this is the one thought that gives me hope. Please keep us posted - I really hope that this is the last cycle you need for a BFP.

    Hope things are going to look up. As Julie says what really counts is only that you end up with one nice and sticky blastie. And I know that is much easier to say than to experience. Hope the BT shows that E2 numbers have gone up.

    Cuddlepie - just wanna add my two cents worth. I had researched (somewhere) that the shorter Orgalutron cycles can sometimes produce less eggs, but it is believed the quality is improved = better outcome. That's why it is good for us 'mature' ladies as we have more of an issue with egg quality. BTW - I had a massive size range in my follies in my last cycle, yet a few of the smaller laggers seemed to catch up. for you and

    Clinic just called, E2 is now up to 21xx which is good. I also checked LH level its around 1.7, they say don't need Pregnyl unless its under 1. Next b/t and u/s is on Thursday. Nurse said that just have to let the two big follicles grow out (20mm and 17mm) and wait for the smaller ones to catch up. So far seems I will only have 6 follicles if I am lucky. I think EPU will be on Sunday at the earliest.

    Thanks guys for your reassurance, WTH, thanks for your research back-up, I hope the quality will make the difference in the end.

    Hi Girls

    CP: keeping everything crossed for you, hope the follies keep growing nicely.

    WLAB & Buliej thinking of both of you and wishing good luck with BT soon.

    to everyone else hope this week is treating you kindly

    I am really afraid of the call I am getting this arvo. AF turned up yesterday arvo and went for FSH BT this morning.

    Since I can't concentrate on work did a calculation on how much I had spent on extras treatments such as IVF drugs and Acupuncture, it's over $2200 so far and that's without most of the supplements, it's amazing how this all adds up! Got a little back from my healthfund but still more than $1600 out-of-pocket. Have just changed over to a better extras policy, should have done that much earlier.

    Morning Ladies!

    WLAB - hope those embies are snuggling in nice and tight for the long haul

    Buliej - got all my fingers and toes crossed for your BT tomorrow, hopefully those HPTs you did were a sign of things to come!

    Sara - hope your FSH Levels are all good so you can start a new cycle.

    CP - Hope the smaller follicles can catch up and praying you get some good quality eggs.

    To the other girls currently cycling, sending you lots of and to everyone else.

    AFM, still trying to get my head around all this ivf/pgd stuff. Trying to get as much info as I can before my next appt with the FS. Atm, it seems like my every waking thought it consumed by this, so I hope to get some answers soon.

    Take care x
