brightfuture - If you find the crystal ball shop please please give me the address I'd love one. Mind you if I'd had one at the start of this I'm not sure I would have believed what it showed me! They have suggested PGD because of my age and really I'm happy with anything that reduces my chance on yet another mc. Not long till TF, does it look like it's going ahead?
Jbear - I do cut down to one coffee a week in a cycle usually only have one a day normally anyway. I cut out all sugar for a month earlier in the year (not in a cycle) and it did feel really good. When you eat no sugar you no longer crave it.
AFM - I saw FS yesterday. I will be starting the pill on sat/sun when AF arrives so if all goes to plan EPU should be around the end of Sept. FS wanted to put me on 450 of FSH but I talked him down to 350 since I managed 20 eggs on 300 just 2 years ago (and 12 on 250) and my AHM was still at 20 last Nov. I felt 450 would over stim me and I'd end up being cancelled.
Thanks for the feedback ladies. I have just cut back until i actually start my cycle then i will cut it out now, as for sugar I am finding that one hard to cut out
Sunbeam I'm glad you got a good result from your FS, you must be so excited to have the ball rolling.
AFM - I am still waiting...... day 28 today. Had a call for genetics they need more blood from DH & I for the tests, it seems they ran out. Was a bit freaked out initially but she was really reassuring that everything is fine and they will be ready for us by the time we are ready to go.
J.Bear, are you trying to cut all sugar out or just sugary snacks? If it is snacks, I changed my cravings for chocolate for things like sultanas, you still get that instant sugar hit and they're still not great, but slightly better!! Glad you're doing well on the rest of the stuff so far!! Any sign of AF?
Sunbeam, things are moving along for you!! Very exciting!! Any sign of AF for you?
AFM, yep I O'd on day 17, can't believe it, I was so sure this cycle was going to be a bust. I get to start the pessaries tonight (I've only done crinone before so will be interested to see the difference in the side effects) but only one a night at this stage, then if bloods are good on Sunday it will be a transfer on Monday! Woohoo!! My lining was 9.2 on Wed and type three so that was looking good. I am quietly excited but trying to stay realistic. My mantras for the next few days are around trusting my body, trusting my embie, trusting the doctor & trusting the embryologist to choose the right embie out of the freezer! Wish me luck & I'll keep you posted on how it goes!!
im popping myself in here, short story is i have 2 children but have had 5 miscarriages trying to get a 3rd child, we are now going to pgd as they think the most likely problem is from chromosomal abnormalities (im 39).
im starting on Lucrin tonight and will have EPU mid september
brightfuture: fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly the next few days and you get your embie transferred without any problems :-)
jbear: are you just having tests at the moment ?
Jessir: congrats on your pregnancy, how far along are you ?
BooBoo: hi to you, are you just starting out on the pgd journey ?
sunbeam and i know each other so don't think i'm ignoring her if i don't respond to her on here, we talk a lot off BB :-)

So much exciting news going on here at the moment. Hopefully a lot more too.....wishing everyone well!!!
Have just started my tracking cycle and am currently at day 5 and starting blood tests from day 10 to see when I ovulate. Similar to BF I think as looking to transfer 5 days after O. Have been doing accupuncture with this cycle (basically trying anything to up my chances) but apparently my blood is still low (?) according to my accupuncturist so she has given me some herbs to take for the next couple of weeks to help increase my blood. Only prob is they make me throw up! Anyone used TCM for a cycle? Am going to try to incorporate the herbs in some muffins to see if that will help. Been given a list of foods to eat as well that are meant to help. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!!
Just a quickie. I used herbs leading up to my stim but they didn't make me feel sick I feel for you!! My TCM Dr suggested adding honey if it was too strongly flavoured. My own recommendation, not from TCM, would be to not take them on an empty stomach - not sure if that will help you at all but wishing you every bit of the best!
