many thanks for your reply, so sorry I did not reply back to you earlier. We had decided to go away camping for a few days (trying to make the most of rest of summer).
So you have been on the "rollercoaster ride" too !! takes it out of you hey ??
Sorry to hear about your m/c, but encouraging words from Dr never the less. I know it takes time to heal from such a sad experience, but you have the courage to go forward.
Accupunture is very popular hey ?? I haven't gone down that road yet, as I would need to look into it more (re my eplilepsy). But hey ........................ who knows, we have to try these things. I'm due on any day now, so just waiting to book on, so then it all begins again !!
We hopfully are due to start synarel week begining 5th March. I've been on net trying to read more on this "luveris" drug Dr has recommended. It all seems very positive, but at this stage I shall give anything a try. I'm trying to eat more healthy and not drinking (bar 2 glasses of red at weekends) ................ well we need to keep our sanity hey ??
I'm also trying to keep more active, I am going for long hour and a half walks on the beach every morning.
Good luck to you and DH, let me know when you start icsi again, I shall keep checking this thread (although I'm not pc savvy, so need to work around it). As I'm typing this, it says you are on-line at the mo to, but I wouldn't know how to alert you !!
Take care, thanks again for your encouraging words.

how you doing ?? Sorry for delay in reply to you, but as mentioned above we have been away camping for few days (to Goolwa, where it was cloudy and windy !!).
I too am with Repromed and under a lovely consultant, Kelton Tremellen. I have hung onto his every word since this began a year ago. He actually invented what they call the "egg timer" test, this apparently gives an indication (through blood tests) as to how many eggs are possibly remaining. usually few eggs means poorer quality (as in my case). I'v never had high egg numbers either, but as you say maybe it is better to have slightly fewer (although above 6 would be nice !)as it could have something to do with the quality (who knows !!!).
I'm now banking on this "luveris" injection they are incorperating into the cycle, we have to try anything at the end of the day hey ??
Funny enough, it was Richard Henshaw who did my last ER, it was litrally at the last moment that he said "oh no, we didn't do an ID check". As I was on the verge of going "under" I drowsly muttered my medical number (in a military format), then "kappoot", I was out for the count. All I can remember is them laughing as I went under. I'm sure you would agree the whole staff there are absolutely brilliant. They have been so caring from the out-set. Have you been with them for the 6 years ??
Sorry to hear it has been such a long journey for you and DH, you are so brave to continue after so long.
Yep, we shall be cycling about 2 weeks apart (thats if you are doing the long protocol and not antagonistic). So it will be great to talk to you along the way. I'm due AF any day now, so waiting to book on. We are off camping again at weekend (Port Vincent) to keep us occupied. As you will see in above reply, I'm trying to keep busy to take my mind off things. I'm a stay at home mum, so until I know where we are at, I shall not be looking for work. I'v wanted too, but because of 3 cycles all close together last year I didn't think it was worth looking. Although at times, I'm sure it's just the tonic I need, as it will give me something to concentrate on !!
Good luck in preparation, keep me upto date. Thanks for replying and your kind words.

Hiya Raegs,
lol, my name is Sarah too!! freaky.
Thanks for the tip on Henshaw with the ID check hehehehe I will have toremember that if he does my pickup. Not sure what your new injection is but I guess they know what they are doing.
Yes, I was with Repromed all those years ago but the company has changed a lot in that time, It used to be at Queen Elizabeth hospital and was run by the Uni of Adelaide. Now it is a private company and the location is muuuccch nicer. I didnt like to be in the recovery ward with "every man and his dog" and am thinking how much nicer it is that everyone there is going through the same thing as me. It makes me feel like less of a freak IYKWIM? How does it all compare with the uk treatment?
Talk soon I hope.
Good luck Tracey
