Hi everyone . Great news - that one little blast not only made it to biopsy but is (hopefully) nestling in comfortably inside my body Yesterday was anxious and hectic. At 9am I got the call to be told there were still no results through on the first five screens and that I would hear back at 10.30. Unfortunately my other two hopefuls did not make it past compacting. The next call came - all clear. It was explained to us we would not have the result back for the next three screens until 12.30 so we would actually have to start driving to Sydney 1/2 an hour before we even knew if we would be doing a transfer. I actually had a bad feeling about the next three. But all was well Not only that but my embryo was growing at a very rapid rate and they had to get it in me fast! It had also completely hatched. The embryologist said it was the largest embryo she'd seen before transfer and they had to find a larger pipette. I am hoping that it has not gone in too late By 6pm I was back in town on my accupuncturist's table. It was suggested implantation might happen today. Any tips anyone? I just need our little one to STICK STICK STICK Blood test Dec 1 so not long to wait, really. Thanks to you all for your comments, especially when I was MIA yesterday.

Cuddlepie - I am thrilled about DH's swimmers and that you will not need to have to go through PGD this cycle. WOW - Your DH is a walking advertisement for Menevit!!

Sara - congratulations on managing your first FSH injection. I had built it up in my head to be painful. It was more painful figuring out how to use the pen, but you will find it a cinch from here on.

Meredith - that is an incredible first scan. Well done, hon'! Are you on estrogen patches? If so, is that called "estrogen priming"? I am asking as I have have been having an estrogen dip in my natural cycle and I am wondering if I could use patches in between IVF cycles (if this one does not stick).

LisaK - thanks for being so thoughtful and supporting me

Buliej - about the DHEA, you mentioned you can try it while trying naturally as it takes four months to work. Do you know if it can be used during an IVF cycle, say, the second month or does it clash somehow with the stims???
