    Sending AF vibes your way Jaki. What else can bring on AF? Hmmmm maybe some exercise to get the blood flowing etc.

    FX that she comes sooner rather than later and preferably before the weekend.

    Smile Update!

    Jaki - FX that AF arrives and she arrives soon. I know what you mean about frustrating. It has to be one of the only times in a girls life that she desperately wants AF.

    AFM - So had my BT this morning and another US (2nd US for this cycle). The results are in......... E2 level of 2144 (Tues just gone was 1195) have approx 6 follicles on the go at the moment with the largest being 16mm and the smallest 10mm. Not forgetting the other smaller ones, there was approx 15 in total but only 6 are within ball park for the EPU. Still going with the FSH and Lucrin and have to head back in for an US and BT again Sat morning. Heres hoping that we find out some dates then for EPU cause Im getting anxious now.

    Is it ok to get slightly excited now??? Looks like this one will happen for real

    Im usually regular. Whats most annoying is all the US appointments i made, i knew they wouldnt be accurate but didnt think i'd have to change them too much.
    I rang my nurse today and even tho i said in the voicemail don't worry about calling back, it would have been nice if she did. So no advise there.

    Talking Results are in!!!!

    Jaki - When I read your post I had a little chuckle to myself lol. I hope their the right sort of cramps. FX for you my dear

    So, results are in. Made me wait a while today although, they were quite busy this morning at the clinic so it was to be expected I suppose.

    So, estrogen was in the area of the low 2000's on Thurs and today it has doubled again so were in the 4000 range yay!!!! Largest Follicle was approx 22mm and then the range of the others was 19mm, 18mm, 15mm, 14mm and so on. Here is the good news, will trigger tomorrow evening for EPU on Tues at 7.30am!!!!

    OMG it is actually happening I cant believe it. The Nurse told me to continue this evening as normal and she will call me tomorrow with all the definate details for my trigger etc. Hmmmm at least I will get to go to work on Monday and get it all sorted lol.

    So after hanging up, I literally burst into tears after I got off the phone with her. I think it was my way of releasing all these hormones etc and in a way, breathing a sigh of relief. I know the EPU doesnt guarantee anything but it feels so much better than cancelling it all together like last time. Hmmmmm getting tears in my eyes now typing this.

    Just now need to that more of my little ones catch up and just play the wait and see approach on Tuesday hey. FX for sure though. Wow, still hasnt sunk in I dont think.

    Well best get back to it. Since we came home this morning have been cleaning the house bit by bit and taking my time. Now at least I know I will be able to relax after EPU without looking at a filthy house

    Hope all is good with you girls. Thanks heaps for your support too and remembering me on my BT and US days.

    Hey motherhood what great news it looks like everything is going to be perfect this time around i look forward to see how many eggs you get on tuesday.

    Jaki-no AF yet i hope it turns up tomorrow so you can have your blood test monday morning.

    AFM-I'm hanging in there waiting for my AF it is due on friday i rang the pgd nurse to get some more day 1 BT forms as i used it and the spare last cycle anyway i had a talk to the nurse and i am not very optimistic regarding my E2 levels she said it could have been a one off or it could be i have estrogen dominance and it might not go down if that's the case i would not be a good candidate for ivf they could start a cycle with the high E2 but i would be at high risk of the cycle being cancelled due to overstimulation or that my lead follicle would be to big and take up all the meds preventing all the other follies from catching up so i would not have enough mature eggs at egg pick up and for PGD testing as you know we need lots so if this AF my E2 is to high that is it for us we both decided the waiting and stress associated with ivf is to much we will let fate decide and try natrually and hope and pray we are lucky 2nd time around anyway sorry to be a downer when you girls are doing so well i just never expected a fertile couple could not do ivf

    Thanks guys!!! Was just saying to DH, maybe this is all meant to be this time. Only time will tell hey.

    Ferrals - Dont be sorry. Were here to help support you in all this. We understand what your going through. I know exactly what you mean about a fertile couple not being able to do IVF though. Had the exact same thoughts last cycle and even this cycle when it seemed we were headed down the same path. Fingers and everything else is crossed for you.

    Well ladies just a quick one.

    Just did my trigger injection and compared to last time when we had to cancel our cycle, this trigger didnt hurt at all!!! Hope I did it right. Although, It hurt a little to start and then I slowed down how fast I was pushing it in and then the pain stopped.

    Have to be at the clinic at 6.45am Tuesday morning. FX hey .

    Hope all is well with everyone and you all enjoyed your lovely hot weekend.

    Talking EPU Results!!!

    Hi Ladies,

    Quick post for you from my couch!!!

    Jaki - Has AF arrived as yet??? Heres hoping she has sweets.

    Ferrals - How about you. Has AF arrived for you yet too??

    Please know ladies that I have my FX for the both of you.

    AFM - So here goes - Up bright and early and into the clinic at 6.45am. EPU wasnt as bad as I thought and Im not doing too bad now either. So, all together we got 8 eggs. Of these 2 or 3 weren't quite mature but they said you never know. Fertilisation was to take place at 12noon today and we will get a call tomorrow to let us know how its all going. FX big time now. Grow little guys grow.

    Best get back to resting. Oh also, ET should be on Sunday so now just have to wait till then.

    Yahoo Jaki. Glad AF is here

    FX Ferrals that you will definately, 100% for sure be just behind Jaki .

    Hmmm trying to feel optomistic about the call to day with the initial results re fertilisation etc but its hard to just "go with the flow". Back at work today and feeling surprisingly good. Im glad I feel good though . Will be sure to keep you both updated.
