    sorry ladies - i knew there was somewhere i'd forgotten to update! i got my BT reulsts yesterday - another BFN for me

    BB - you're more than welcome to join us. we're not always prolific posters, but we're all here to offer support and encouragement. i've been through a couple of antgonist cycles myself now - aren't those shots just the most enjoyable (NOT! hope you're using cetrotide - the orgalutron needles are decidedly blunt!) - good luck with everything for this cycle!

    Hey Everyone!

    Still almost non existent here as we are still waiting to get our computer sorted... at this stage it looks as though we might need to buy a new one - Not something I wanted to do after spending so much money recently on the wedding and going overseas... and DH got put off work the day we got back because business in real estate is terrible ATM.... aahhh! Anyway, thats my rant, so until we decide what to do about buying a new computer, its the library a few days a week for me!

    BG - Hun, I am just so sorry to hear about your BFN - when are you seeing your FS to get some answers for this cycle?
    I hope they have some answers for you to help you for the next one xxx
    It will happen soon xxx

    BB - Good luck with your EPU and fertilisation over the next few days, I have everything crossed for you xxx

    Big hi to everyone else and hoping you're all doing ok xxx

    As for us - we are still finishing off the last of our tests Dr S has had us do - I have to have one more BT on day 21 of my cycle (Next Mon), and DH is doing another sperm sample tomorrow.

    We're seeing Dr S at the end of the month to hear what he suggests for cycle number 5.

    We were planning on doing it straight away, but now that DH is not working atm we may have to delay it for a little while - he's busy looking and there's a few prospects so we may not even need to worry - Fingers crossed by the time we're ready to go he's settled into a new job and all is well!

    Hoping everyone is great - am popping on as much as possible - Its driving me insane not having the internet at home! Amazing what we get used to!!!

    Love Holly

    well well well fellow bb'ers

    It has been long between post!!

    i hope every one is busy for a reason??

    Holly welcome back, so sorry about the computer trouble you are having - did you get my text?

    BB - welcome and i know how you feel, there was a time when i was posting in both threads, but found soon that there were too many lovely ladies to keep up with and although i wanted to still read their journeys and wish them all the best just couldn't keep up with it all, and feel so far away from where they are all at, i do post from time to time but feel like i don't really belong there any more. It is also sometimes hard seeing the turn around that that thread often has, please don't take that wrong i mean it in the best possible way. i am always so happy for anyone achieving a pg - AC or not.

    BW - hope everything is going well for you - haven't seen you around of late?

    BG - i dont know what to say. thinking of you and hoping you get together with FS to work out your next step when you are ready to take them.

    Shannon - great news about the bulk bill - ive only ever had this happen once due to my medications getting mixed up by the clinic and needing to do another cycle. that is fantastic though and would hope that it would be something every clinic would offer with regard to OHSS. its so hard to get ready financially when you have had a cycle canceled!!way to go good for you

    Chez - what news with you hun?

    Megan - looking forwards to catching up with you soon - hope you are still around??

    Ellie - miss your regular post still - did you look into what BG mentioned?

    Od - hows things with you at th moment - how is the acupuncture going ?

    Mel - hoping you are doing ok to

    will keep you updated oin my progress when i get some lol

    Hi there,

    A question fo those of you who have seen Gavin sacks. How much out of pocket can I expect to be for all the tests, consult, biopsy etc. Need to sort out my finances before I see him and even just a rough guesstimate would help.

    Can't comment on the biopsy, but for the complete round of blood tests and a semen analysis to check for DNA fragmentation, it was really just the cost of the consultations. I can't remember the exact figures on the consultation costs, but they were fairly similar to the up front fees for seeing my regular FS ($130), but my regular FS charges for one person and bulk bills the other while with Gavin they charged for both (a smaller amount for DH). We were over the medicare safety net limit at the time as well so our rebates would be very different to normal.

    I'm still lurking around - mainly sticking to my journal of late, at least when I'm not sticking my head in the sand and playing ostrich. We're transferring later today - if our sole surviving embryo actually stays alive long enough... so feeling decidedly stressed and panicky this morning.

    BW
