Hi Brunette,

Sorry about your cycles - sometimes a little break can be good for the mind and body. I've just had a 2 month break (sort of forced though as my FS put me on a looooong down reg)..And what made me relax a bit is finding out that some people can take 7-15 cycles to fall preggie...OMG i know but Hayle Berry took 7 goes apparently!..my clinic told me the average is 4 & when the 4th cycle was a failure I was devastated!!..now I know better that I believe they gave me the wrong info!!! so have my head a bit more positive and will keep going.
I posted on another thread colorado re the steriods. I'm sooo relieved to read others saying their worry of the weight gain. I'm sure my FS thinks I'm vain as I told him I don't want to take steriods as I don't want a 'moon face' OR fat distributed up on my bum with chicken legs!!!!..he just said well like well if you wanna get pregnant....Anyway I'm sure you all know we gain weight with IVF - I'm up 2 dress sizes so was stressing re the steriods..I've been on them for 5days - Dexamethasone - 1mg...I keep looking in the mirror in the mornings LOL to see if my face has gone a full moon hehehehe...no - and no weight gain as yet though the Gonal is bloating me. So I say don't worry about the steriod, find what dose your on - maybe small like me since you have no NK Cell problems.
The pharmacy did advise that the steriod can increase your appetite - I haven't felt that but just monitor your eating. I don't mind putting on weight now if I get a BFP!!!...it's worth it then!

BTW everyone starts asprin & steriods at different times of their cycle. I had to start both of these at the start of gonal injects...other people start after EPU. Feel good doing everything I can this time round.

Goodluck with EPU Brunette hope you get some good juicy eggs.
Juniper 76 - Goodluck with blasties for you & DH. Pray you have some good strong embies looking after each other for 5 days. We did it last cycle with not many embies either & did get 2 strong ones - i was sooo surprised - best wishes!
