Hi Trixie,

Welcome to the club. You will find so much information and help on this forum. I am on my 5th cycle also. I have egg pick up tomorrow.

I am having acupunture this cyle...I can't say that it relaxs me, as I don't feel any different after the session, but I hope it is doing me wonders inside. My acupunturist is excellent, very nice lady and easy to get along with. Not sure if this helps, but I haven't got any more extra follicles then the last cycle, so acupunture didn't increase the number of follicles in my case for this cycle, but lets see what happens tomorrow. Let see how many eggs are retrieved tomorrow, and how many fertilise. My problem is low number of eggs and fertilisation. I have never ever got to Blastocyst stage (day 5), so that is my aim this time. Lets hope the acupunture has made the eggs quality better.

I will let you know how I go.

In regards to telling everybody, I have told my family and my husbands family, so they are a bit understanding. My boss at work also knows as she knows how desperately I want kids as I am alsways all over her kids when they come into work.

I do also hope that Santa is generous to us ladies and gives us what we want so much for Xmas. That will be the best present ever.

Take care and speak to you soon. Let me know if you have any more questions.
