    infinity- Yeeha on AF arriving and wishing you the very BOL with this new cycle. I hope the changes you're doing this cycle are just what you need for that sticky BFP. I'll be stalking you all the way to the end.

    anyos- How are you travelling hun? You must be due for a stim scan soon.

    Holly- Things are certainly sounding very positive so far. When is your BT hun, I don't think your siggy says.

    to everyone else, hope things are well with you all.

    bad news today

    Had my scan and theres one big follicle (21), a medium (15) and a small (5). My FS doesnt' want to put us through EPU with these numbers, although we can if we want. So have gone with option 2, trigger tonight and try naturally with some additional luteal support over the weekend.

    Feeling numb, this doesn't bode well and am not sure where we go from here.

    And to top it all off, I'm going to be helping a friend with her stall at the Baby Show this weekend.....

    anyos hunni, I'm so sorry, I hadn't checked this thread before I PMed you. This journey just sux sometimes. I hope you are able to achieve a miracle anyway. We will do the same since I'm already ovulating but don't know if we have much of a chance naturally since DP has MF issues (very low count but his doc believes some are still getting through though I can't imagine there would be many), I guess it's still worth a shot, stranger things have happened. Huge ((hugs)) to you hun, I'll be thinking of you and please let me know if you want to chat.

    Right back at you Dutchie, am thinking of you both tonight. Remember the egg can stay alive for 24 hours so there's still hope! Hoping we'll all get there soon, bring on the BFP's!

    anyos - so sorry this has happened. Best of luck for trying naturally. Sending you strength to get through this weekend too. x

    Dutchie - you're ovulating? what the - have I missed something?? off to check your blog..... hoping you are ok.

    WLB - all the luck in the world for BT tomorrow. I will be thinking of you and hoping with all my might that it's a BFP for you tomorrow. xx

    Hi to everyone else. Much love xxx

    AFM: Scan this morning - day 6, all looking as it should be with a few follies on each side. Injections start tonight and another scan on Sunday. I'm scared with this new protcol I'll ovulate before they can stop it....wait and see I suppose.

    Thanks infinity, yes BT yesterday showed I was ovulating already so they cancelled. FS will call back today so I'm interested to hear what the next step is if there even is one. Sooo bummed but I suppose this game of IVF is so much trial and error and such an imperfect science still, I guess setbacks are a given esp with my high fsh.

    Your cycle seems to be progressing nicely, really good to hear, I'll be continuing to follow your progress and wishing you the very best.

    anyos- hope you were able to catch that egg hun and I hope your feeling a lil' better today.

    Dutchie how did you go with the FS? Hoping it was constructive and you got some options for the future.

    Infinity, great to hear all is progressing well. Hoping you have some fantastic eggs cooking!

    WLB thinking of you!

    AFM feeling a little better but v sore from trigger injection. Its in the hands of the gods now ...

    Dutchie, reading your blog was heartbreaking, Im sorry your cycle was cancelled.

    AFM: HCG after a pregnyl shot was 48, and today 48 hours later it's at 22, I am not pregnant. After 100 eggs, not a hint of a positive. I like you Dutch, am lost, I want to escape to some other world at this point.

    WLAB- ((huge hugs hun)) I am truly so very sorry about this result, so, so heartbreaking it never gets any easier. Please take some time and look after yourself and DH, I'll be thinking of you.

    anyos- They're a bit slack at the moment, I had to call back as I hadn't heard back well after 3pm and the nurses tell me FS is yet to go over results and if I still haven't heard by Fri or Mon then to call back again grrrrr so slack, I would love some answers and a 'where to next' plan. They told me I ovulated yesterday so we DTD anyway and I'll hope for a miracle, however slim the chance may be.
    I really, really hope you get your miracle natural BFP this month and I'm happy to hear your feeling a lil' better.

    dutchie - crap about ovulating! I wish this was much simpler, sometimes it is all just ****.

    anyos - Sorry to hear that the stim didnt go well, but everything crossed that the stim that you did get is enough to help things out naturally.

    wlab - I am so sorry hon. I just dont know what to say.

    I had my appt on Tuesday, we are going to try one last time with Murrays sperm but they are convinced that the embryos stopped developing is because of Murrays DNA damage to his sperm, so if this round doesnt work, then we need to move clinics to Concept, where they have a sperm bank. Fun fun fun. So cycling again in November, in the mean time they have asked me to try and lose as much weight as I can, so I started boot camp last week as well as my usual PT and gym, and have lost 1.5kg this week. Am aiming for 5 by the start of next cycle.

    BecD thank you lovey, hoping all goes well for you too. Well done on the weight loss, that's really impressive!

    WLAB hope you're ok, I know how hard this journey can be and am praying that you have good news coming your way soon xxxx

    Hollybolly how did everything go?

    Infinity thinking of you, hope all is well.

    Dutchie I'd be calling the FS every 10 mins, that's just not on. They should have gotten back to you by now to explain what happened and how they missed the ovulation signs. that we both have 'natural' miracles on the way....

    AFM have had a filthy migraine for two days, but feeling a little better today. My FS and her nurse have been lovely, they've sent me a detailed email (ie DTD on Wed pm, Thurs am & pm....) along with booking me in for a HCG blood test in two weeks. I'm glad someone's feeling optimistic about this whole thing!

    BecD- Hopefully you won't need to change clinics because your next cycle is the one. Congrats on your weight loss so far too! Fingers and toes crossed for November.

    anyos- yes it's a bit appauling and very frustrating, I'll just call on Fri and Monday if I haven't heard back. I will mention that I'm unhappy with the time it's taken to get back to me with regards to this cycle, it really is not good enough. But like infinity said, there always seems to be someone to talk to when it involves taking your money! Your FS sounds just lovely, what I wouldn't give to have communication with the FS like that! and I too, am very optimistic for your chances.

    WLAB- Thinking of you sweet girl.

    Holly- Gee BT can't be far off, this cycle is looking very promising so far. I have all my crossables crossed for you.

    infinity- grow follies grow. I hope they are monitoring you very closely so you don't have to worry about Oing before you get to EPU.

    Hi to Dutchie, Bulliej, Holly, Possums, and a special Hi to lovely Miss Pink for dropping in x

    AFM: Still waiting on AF - another BT on Wed, when I see FS to discuss this dismal cycle. I have decided to do a FET in November with our frozen Blastie, then if no luck, we will do a Low Stim Cycle in December. Till then, we have a lot of social things on,along with a o/seas trip, so I am going to have a break from FS's and appointments and injections

    Best of luck girlies
