    Thanks heaps CPie, was hoping I didn't have to stop as I've only been taking it for about 4 weeks.

    BDT- You're a darl, thanks for your prayers. Wishing you the very best for your gender scan tomorrow, will be stalking you for updates.

    Just had a call from the nurses, FSH test tomorrow, start clomid 100mg on wednesday, gonal f 225iu (eeek hope it's enough) friday and first stim scan on mon 14th. Off to update blog.

    Ive missed you all, have been taking a break from everything this last week to get my head screwed on right.

    dutchie - hoping everything goes well for you this cycle
    wlab - yay for two bubbas on board. I am praying so hard for you xx

    afm - we have our clinic appointment tomorrow with our specialist and the scientific director. We have decided that we will give it one last attempt and that will be it for the time being. We do definitely need a real break from all of this, our lives have been turned upside down, and i need to get back to being the real me, not just the shadow of the person who is depressed all of the time. So if this cycle (and any frosties) dont work, we will give it a rest for a year or two. At least thats the plan.
    But one more ivf, so I need to throw absolutely everything into it - acupuncture, weight loss, i have changed jobs to reduce stress... I so desperately want this to work - at least to get to transfer so I have a shot at it.

    good morning ladies,

    WLB praying for you honey, hope this is the one! xxxx

    Dutchie, hope you're well, good luck with the blood test today

    Bec how are you travelling? I know what you mean about throwing everything into it, we're in the same boat. Good luck with the specialist.

    Infinity, hope all is well. Yep the outcome was negative, we've just started a new cycle!

    M2C have been thinking of you, hope all is well.

    Lots of love and for everyone else xxx

    AFM AF arrived yesterday and I had my Lucerin this morning. Had a meltdown with SIVF last night because they 'forgot' to send me my pack with dosages etc. About to ring them and give them hell But other than that, on 300 Puregon and I think I continue with the Lucerin as well. Feeling much calmer, lets see how long it lasts

    Hi girls,

    Bec- Very BOL for your next cycle, hope your appt goes well.

    anyos- Give 'em hell, we pay them so much the least they could do is to be on top of things, it's not like we're there to be prescribed antibiotics! My clinic rang today and the nurse I spoke to yesterday gave me the wrong start date for my gonal, starting on Thurs now and not Fri grrrr, tad frustrating but have to remain calm. Very BOL with this cycle cycle bud.

    FSH test today revealed fsh is acceptable to start so first dose of clomid tomorrow, gonal f 225iu thurs and first scan on mon 14th with a blood test straight after.
    Now really off to update blog, had a few computer dramas yesterday!

    A big to all you lovely gals, hope things are travelling well.

    Hi Ladies

    I'm so sorry I'm non existent in here... sometimes I just remember to update my journal, & then get so sidetracked I forget other threads

    Just wanted to send mountains of to you WLAB
    Sometimes day 2/3 transfers are best... (we did a day 2 transfer this cycle for the first time)....theres enough ladies on BB to prove the results after not having success with their blasties, so lots of love to you... hoping those little ones are snuggling in tight xxx

    Dutchie - Thanks so much for popping in to my journal, hoping everything was great to start yesterday
    BTW I took the Royal Jelly for the month leading up to stims starting, and all the way through stims... it didn't effect BT results etc at all - DH took it the whole time as well.
    We're still taking it - if this cycle isn't successful its been in our systems for the next one!

    Bec - So glad to hear you're doing better & nice to have a plan... Lots of strength & love for this next cycle & take it easy on yourself xxx

    For everyone else at different stages - all of my love & best wishes for you all xxx
    Maybe if I pop in here more I can keep up to date better with personals

    AFM - We had EPU on Monday - had 9 eggs collected, 8 were viable for ICSI & had 5 fertilise.
    We had 2 x A grade cells transferred in on Wednesday - haven't heard from the clinic today yet but yesterday the other 3 were progressing well & fairly evenly all between 6-8cell.
    The three still growing are B grade as they had some slight fragmentation.

    This is our best cycle by far in regards to egg quality & numbers with all 5 still looking good at day 3 - we have never had A grades either, as they've always had some slight fragmentation.
    Seeing as how I only took half the dosages of luveris I was supposed to (that drama is in my journal, its too long to put in here!) - I'm not sure if I can thank the luveris... or if I can thank the royal jelly

    Interesting too - we had 9 eggs collected, transfer was on 9/9/09 at approx 9am!!!

    Feeling fairly ok about this cycle - I wasn't confident at all the past few weeks but just crossing my fingers & trying not to think about it for the next week & a bit!!!

    Lots of love to everyone xxxxxxxxx

    Hi loverlies,

    Holly- All those 9's wow, hoping it brings you lots of luck. Hopefully you're going to be busy for the next 9 months hehe (& beyond) Sending you some more And thanks for the advice re: royal jelly, I intend to take it during stims too and DP is on it too.

    anyos- how are you travelling hun? Hope you sorted dramas out with SIVF and told them to lift their game.

    A big hello to everyone else, have to run, my laptop is making funny noises.

    Well I was about 20 mins late for my second gonal dose. I have my alarm set so I don't forget and DP had the damn thing on silent. Hoping it'll be fine, I was only a lil' bit late afterall whoopsie.
