Ellie - i'd be thinking if all you've had is progesterone it's sounding pretty good for you - i think they say to wait if you've been on the crinone or the pregnyl booster shots at all - i'm so hoping you can get confirmation soon, but i'm thinking a big congrats is in order!!! LOL on the signature warning!

Summer - hoping things have calmed down for you now - hope you and DH can sit down and work out your questions ready for the FS tonight so that you don't forget anything - good luck tomorrow sweet pea!

well, got home from FS pretty late, and this is the first chance i've had to catch you all up (unless you've read my journal already!!) - anyway here goes (and i'll apologise in advance if this is a little long)

Firstly - WOO HOO! - we don't have to move on to IVF just yet - i had built myself up to that being the only option, and i didn't realise how much it was stressing me out til i started feeling an anxiety attack coming on just prior to my appointment. i stand by the thought that if we need IVF then we'll go down that path, but it was a huge relief today to find out we had other options

So, basically FS said that my body is being particularly painful (well, duh!) - i'm responding to the synarel quite well, and going into the medically induced menopause - but my ovaries like it that way too much and don't want to wake up again with the puregon! as a result, this time around, no synarel! started provera today to bring on AF, then day 2 we start puregon 200IU for a week to try and wake my lazy ovaries up - day 7 u/s to check that there is some response (and fingers crossed we haven't gone from one extreme to the other with too many!) - after u/s i'll be on two injections each day - puregon and cetrotide (i think) - to stop O occuring til the clinic feel that the follie is developed enough to have trigger shot.

Both FS and clinic nurse had a go at me for being such a difficult patient (LOL), and were really positive about the whole thing, so DH and i left feeling really good about where we're at. While we were eating lunch, DH even admitted he'd have to draw a map for his boys this week, and make sure they got lots of "target practice" in the interim so that they don't get too confused during the IUI procedure! cheeky bugger!

positive me is back with a vengeance. went straight from FS to the chemist and picked up the provera so i could get started - i'm sick of being in waiting mode - i'm back to being an active part of the prcedure now and it's got me feeling really good about things again - bring on AF so we can get this thing started!!!
