    Hi girls,

    M2C- thanks sweet girl for your kind words, and no need to aplogise for anything, I completely understand. I had such high hopes for this last cycle but it wasn't to be but we will give it one last go too. I have also decided to wait until Nov so I can go to this FS appt in Oct. It's hard having to wait and I understand how hard it must be for you to wait until next March to try again, waiting truly does suck at the best of times but it sounds like you could really do with a break, 7 years of constant trying is a damn long time and I can only applaud you hun but atleast when you do go back you should be refreshed and revived and able to put you all into it. It's good to hear your wedding plans are keeping you occupied in the meantime and I'm very glad to hear you are enjoying organising everything, that it's all going well and that you have something very positive to look forward to while you are waiting. Keep us posted!
    Anyway hun, we'll all be here for you, cheering you on when you do return to cycle.

    Holly- I cannot wait to hear about your BT results tomorrow, 1 more sleep to go, I'm so excited for you. Hurry up Wednesday morn!!!

    infinity- Wishing you the best for your scan on Wed, sending you lots of follie growing vibes!

    A big to WLAB, anyos, BecD, Possums and buliej hope your all well.

    AFM- We have decided to do one last cycle in November, I like M2C really need to just have a break from it all if it doesn't succeed. Until then I'm just patiently waiting for the 12th when I will go and see a new FS and see if she has anything new to offer, so that should be interesting. I have also finally booked DP in to have this surgery (yay ) date is the 17th of Dec so that's something to look forward to and it should be here before we know it. Hopefully we'll be able to have a realistic chance at trying naturally which would be nice. FS would like me to go in and have a HSG done just to check my tubes too which is someting else to look forward to...not, FS said it's a bit of an uncomfortable procedure but no pain no gain hey. I just hope they're are not blocked because I guess if they are then IVF is our only option and that's a bit depressing to think about right now. Anyway, I have always wondered whether we would have more of a chance naturally since that doesn't require multiple eggs and I do O on my own, I guess we'll just have to wait and see

    Dutchie - It is so apparent different FS's think so differently, one FS said to me "having a HSG was the way to go", and another I saw, said "it's a waste of time". It is quite an uncomfortable procedure, and I wonder why, your FS suggested it, and not a lap or something.

    Hi loverlies

    AFM: I am going public for my Lap (saving money, and it turns out one FS I saw does them at Mercy Hospital anyway) I really think it is the way to go for me, after all these cycle's, to check out what, if anything, is happening.

    Ist letter with date - I was in ivf no 5 TWW
    2nd letter with date - The day I fly out
    I cannot believe it !

    What are the chances, I really need this LAP, and dont have PHI, Im tired of paying outa pocket expenses now I wont get in before our FET in November .... I will have to pay $1000.00 outa for the bed fee (my fs will bulk bill my lap) I got offered a third job yesterday, I think I will have to take it

    WLAB- A HSG was suggested as we need to check out whether my tubes are open because DP is going in to have his blockage operated on and we will give it a go naturally for a while. I guess that's pointless if my tubes are blocked. I believe they don't think that a lap is necessary for me which is unusual as FS once commented that it looked like I may have a bit of endo Anyway, I now wonder whether a lap would be worthwhile esp just to check out whether I do infact have a bit of endo. Can they look at the tubes during a lap? - this is all very new to me.

    BOL with your lap though I hope it doesn't interfere with your plans too much but I hope it gives you some more info to work with.

    When you have a LAP they can flush your tubes, I guess if trying naturally is the way your going, for a while, it would be advantageous to know. However, I truelly believe investigitive procedures are worth doing, while your still at ttc stage. We spend so much money, time and energy on IVF, it makes sense to rule out any problems before we go forth.

    Infin - How are4 you going hun, how was today's scan ?

    Hello to all my friends

    Holly - BOL with your BT

    AFM : I rang the hospital and pleaded my case and they moved my date to the 5th of Oct - Yay ... I can have a lap in a womens hospital, and as my fS requested it, he will get the results.

    WLAB- Yay for having your lap brought forward, that's good news. Hopefully now it won't interfere with your upcoming social events.

    I'm now thinking of questioning FS about whether a lap would be worthwhile too, perhaps I can have it done at the same time as the HSG. I'll be having that done publicly so I guess there might be a bit of a wait so it would be good to kill two birds with the one stone as I hate to have to wait for a HSG and then for a lap. I'll probably mention this to the new FS I'll be seeing on the 12th BTW thanks for that recommendation very much looking forward to what she has to say.

    Hi lovely ladies

    WLAB - Fantastic news in getting your lap pushed forward! for some answers xxx

    Dutchie - they can flush your tubes whilst doing a lap... I had this done a few years ago.
    Have also had the HSG as well. If you're in as a public patient though the lap may be a bit of a wait xxx

    Cuddlepie... FANTABULOUS numbers today, lovely

    How is everyone else doing?

    AFM.... today after 7yrs TTC baby #2 DH & I got our first ever from IVF!!!! OMG so good to gain some faith in the science, I can tell you
    We are just thrilled - fantastic numbers, & we're having a repeated BT on Friday just to check that levels are rising... my progesterone levels were fantastic which is SUCH a relief as this has been an issue for us with past cycles.
    A little surreal at the moment, but after Friday's blood test & then the scan in 2 weeks I might feel a little more at ease

    Lots of thoughts to everyone xxx
