hi everyone

Firstly - WOO HOO - huge congrats to you Carrie - that is the best news. i'm so happy for you hun!

Sazz - good to see that you're feeling the purgeon working (shame about the tender ovaries though - a suggle with benefits is always nice!). when do you have your BT to check about EPU on Monday?

Sonya - yay! you survived your first injection - and with the added stress of spectators!! it's all happening!

Holly - OMG - what a terrible weekend you've had - your poor DH!!! hope he's feeling ok now (stitches in your mouth just suck!!) - sorry you missed the eggie this month hun, but i'm so happy that everything has come up clear for you and DH.

boo - yay on no side effects from the synarel so far! it's so nice to get started on a cycle (even if it does taste so bad!). if the 6.30 wake up call on the weekend sounds harsh, do what i do - put the synarel beside your bed, snort when the alarm goes off, then go back to sleep!

BW - there's no way you sound crazy hun! you've been to hell and back to get those blasties in the freezer and to feel scared of taking the step to transfer them seems natural to me. you have four potential bubbas there, and they've fought so hard to get to where they are, and with the way your body has been misbehaving, it would be understandable to be worried that it's not going to work out - however - you're a strong person, you have faith in your FS, and i'm sure he's not going to transfer if he doesn't believe there is a real chance that the embie will stick. SO - my advice - talk to your FS tomorrow about your concerns that your LP is short and may be harmful to an embie. Ask all the questions you need to ask to set your mind at ease - and remember, you have proven you are a fighter and able to survive some really ordinary things - and you ARE strong enough to do this!!

As for me - well had my BT this morning, and waiting rather impatiently for the clinic to call me to see whether i've finally responded to the meds! have had a really rotten day so far - went to GP and found out my lymph glands are still enlarged, so off for an u/s on friday for that. had to have another BT and the second nurse was nothing short of a butcher! my arm still hurts. GP also decided to check the muscle pain i've been having cos of my strained back (has spread to shoulder/chest/arm) - due to family history of heart disease, ended up having to have an ECG - FOUR times! the first three didn't work!! everything came back normal (which i told the GP they would), but it just ruined my day. so, i've come home now, and been thinking about things. have come to the conclusion that the world is throwing all this bad stuff at me now so that we can have a baby soon, without any bad luck at all! well, that's my mind set at the moment, and i'm sticking to it!!
