    Hi anyos, so glad you have joined us. Congratulations on the birth of your son.
    Have you looked into Acupuncture before. It's great for reducing stress levels which I, my parner and acupuncturist firmly believe affects my fsh levels, it just seems to run higher whenever I'm stressed.

    Wishing you the very best of luck with this new cycle. I'm also in the middle of an ivf cycle, today was day 7 of injections.

    Come and join us in the Long Term Assisted Conception thread, that's where I post normally regarding cycles and there's lots of other lovely gals there too.

    Tigga- hCG rising nicely , wishing you the best for your upcoming scan.

    hey Dutchie, thanks for your reply & advice, I've found a accupunturist and the treatments last week certainly helped with the stress. Will post on LTAC thread as suggested.

    Good luck with your cycle!

    Hi Anyos, I'm sorry to hear about your daughter - that's awful for you. I agree with Dutchie - i think stress has a lot to do with early-high FSH. I also am an advocate of acupuncture - it's helped slow me down - calm my forever-thinking brain. I tried wheatgrass for while too - (powdered form from health shops) - others had success with it and it did help...I think? The one thing I can say is don't place too much emphasis on your high FSH - and at 12.8 it's on the very low-end of high anyway. Good luck!!

    Dutchie - I had a second HCG BT last Monday and it was 6,393 (21dpo). I had another blood test this morning result is 54,000. I went for a blood test today b/c TBH, I'm still in disbelief. I just need to see it going up to reassure me that this is indeed 'really happening'. My scan is on 30/7. I've been trying to follow your progress on the other forum - did you have EPU today? I hope it was a success!!

    Hey guys-

    Tigga- hCG lookin' bewdiful I know it's probably still a shock and very surreal but try to be reassured by your numbers, they are doing exactly as they should be and that's a very positive sign. Wishing you the very best of luck for your first scan.
    No EPU yet, had another scan today (I'm on CD 12 day 10 of injections) and I have around 7 follies in total. Largest is on the left at 25mm and all the rest are around 10mm. Nurses rang this arvo and advised me that we are going to sacrifice the 25mm follie in the hope of growing the other 6 to maturity Not sure when EPU is at this point, I go in for another scan on friday. I'm really happy with progress so far.

    anyos- I'm glad you found the acupuncture relaxing and I look forward to chatting in the LTAC thread.

    Tigga - I only recently found you posting on the other forum and jumped to it when I saw BDT's post. I am so so sorry. My heart is breaking for you.
