    Ooooohh me, me - pick me - can I join too?!!!!! Hah, I had an acupuncture appt today and I apologised for all the pinholes in my tum and my lady commented how sick of them I must be. Sadly, I actually am used to them now and they really don't faze me in the slightest. Bloods were good on Wednesday (yay me - second time in 4 cycles they have looked ok) so more bloods and a scan tomorrow. I don't remember ever feeling this bloated so early on - it doesn't usually hit for me until after epu but I don't have so many ovary twinges. Hmmmmm. Would gonal produce this much of a different reaction to puregon? I have lost bucketloads of weight in the last 5 weeks (stress diet +++++) so maybe that, I dunno.

    Saffy - I hate those feelings of desolation when you see a couple looking so happy with a baby. It has really eaten me up in the last three months or so and to think it may really never happen for us has finally made me crack and revert to counselling. I'm not entirely convinced it is doing anything but I am perservering.

    N2L - hell yes to us all finally getting our bfp's

    Maruschke -

    You two are both doing FET this cycle, aren't you? Transfer times? I am guessing/hoping we will be up for EPU on Tuesday.

    Arghhh.....I was going to wait until i was on my pc to post in here again but right now I need a mini vent

    Sitting by myself at the pancake parlour about to tuck into a food I said I wouldn't eat. I am cd16 today of my natural FET. I had a scan and bt on Monday - no follies and hormones baseline. Another bt on Wednesday - still baseline. Scan this morning (different FS as mine is away). He had real trouble even finding my ovaries but then couldn't see any follies
    Had another bt and I will get the results this arvo.
    Right now I just feel like crying. Why is my body so fooking fooked???

    Eta: clinic called. LH is only 5.2 (up from 2.something on Wednesday but still Considered baseline.)
    It needs to be 25 or over to indicate a surge. I have to have another bt on Sunday, another scan on Monday and so on and so fricken on...

    Omg hon, how did I miss this! Congratulations beautiful lady.

    Nothing new with me, after a gazillion cancelled IVF attempts we had an egg collection in August but after fertilisation all the embryos died. We have just done two rounds of donor insemination, both negative.

    So we are out for now. Trying to access donor embryos but nobody seems willing to donate, most people seem to choose to discard instead which is sad. Feeling pretty miserable at e moment. 14 IVF's and 2 IUI's = :-(

    Just having a quick little sneak in to say hi - so "HI!!!!"

    Bec - giant big to you hunny. I think it is really sad that people do choose to discard their unwanted but perfectly good embryos. Specially when anyone going through ivf knows what a heartwrenching journey it is so if it was possible, wouldn't it make sense to want to try and help someone else? If you were in that position to be able to donate? Hell, if I ever had excess ones (hah, not likely ), I would like to think that I would consider donating them. I hope you can come across some soon, chick - hugs to you

    Saff/N2L - how are you my lovelies? Wishing you both huge, enormous truckloads of babydust and stickyvibes and anything else that may bring a lovely little Christmas/New Year miracle

    Me - been a stressful week - tomorrow is d-day to see if these little ones survived the dramas of last week. Trying not to think about it lalalalalalalalalal

    Hey N2l- you won't be surprised to hear AF arrived xmas day for me!! Good on her, she's such a reliable witch. Did you get graced by her presence yet?

    I'm calling my clinic tomorrow to see what they want me to do for my next cycle- down reg or antagonist. Thinking of a month off to get up to scratch diet wise-but if I do a down reg, I'll be on pill for a month anyway. When does your cycle start? I need to get onto yur regime of supplements so will go back and check your list.

    Only a few more days of 2-11 to go then we are in 2012 - the year we are both falling pregnant- yay!!

    Hiya Saff

    Merry post-Christmas gorgeous!

    AF arrived this morning. A day or two late by my calculations (although had some pink cm yesterday and Christmas night)... I need to chat to DP tonight about starting next cycle. In two minds as to now or next month. Cheaper to fit it in this year but my FS is away so it would be her colleague.

    I really am starting to thing it's never going to happen to me. I just can't even imagine it

    Oh well, it won't happen if I don't try I guess!!!

    Hope you are well x
