Hey Blue

Great to see some newbies coming on board. Good luck with your second cycle. I almost hyperstimmed but still got to EPU and it wasn't until the transfer that the DR's said I was high risk, they still did the ET but I was completely freaking out and can't help but think it had some impact on our embie. In the end I didn't hyperstim and as I didn't get pg the symptoms settled down in a few weeks, I was hug though and really uncomfortable. You'd think your DR would know best (although I wonder sometimes!), make sure you ask all the questions you need though. I know I kind of went with the flow, but would probably handle it differently second time round.

The monthly forum is normally at the top of the long term TTC discussion forum, it's generally the most frequented thread. I also did some research on caffeine and TTC, like you I have a coffee every morning which I think I am slightly addicted to. Apparently it does have some effect on the embryo implanting so I stopped drinking coffee and coke on our first IVF cycle - figured I needed to give it as good a go as possible. If you can go without I don't think it hurts to stop before an egg transfer until you get the pg test results. That's just my opinion though.

Look forward to chatting with you Blue! Good Luck with everything.
