    gday girls am back it has been a positive negative day... I have a massive cyst on my right ovary which is causing some tenderness but I have three folicles nice sized ones in that ovary so apparently depending on how much the doctor will charge but apparently tommorrow the nurse is telling me how much it will cost but next week will be draining the cyst a week later a bt and if all good start injections.... SO WE CAN STILL DO THIS CYCLE woohooooo am sooooooo excited it means it's not a loss and she said my lining was nice and thick and my ovaryies apart from the rather large black lump looked great.
    So gotta stay on the synarel and hope for the best.
    Tantee: how frustrating chin up and at least you'll be able to do it but blegh crappy meds for another month hugs chick
    chekigal: have you got your results back yet?

    Hi Everyone,

    Sorry I've been missing for a few days. I still have a week to go before my BT and was finding it easier to not be constantly checking the boards than to be thinking about it all the time. Not to say I haven't been lurking a bit to keep up with everyone, but I just didn't have the wherewithal to sit down and type. Anyway, I wanted to write a few notes before I got any further behind.

    Chekigal -- I'm so so sorry to hear your bad news. How disappointing for you. Best wishes for your time off and hoping you get your BFP while you are on your break. (((Hugs)))

    K78 - I felt equally bad to hear your bad news, esp. after the positive HPT. I hope that you will be able to take some time for yourself, and that you'll be feeling ready to move on to the next step soon. I hope you've managed to enjoy a nice glass of wine (if you like wine) and relax a bit these last few days.

    Trueblue - great to hear that your cycle will be able to progress despite your cyst. Good luck getting it removed next week.

    Leabie -- good luck with your BT tomorrow!

    Tantee- how incredibly frustrating to lose a whole month! I can't believe your FS didn't tell you until now that he was planning to go out of town at the critical moment in your cycle next month! Could you ask if your FS has a colleague who could help you in his absence instead of making you lose the month?

    Maggie – good luck with your FET cycle next week. I’m hoping to try a FET next month assuming that I get a negative BT next week. Did you have to start discussing how you would do the FET before you even got the result of your BT last cycle? Or were you able to sort that out afterwards? Just asking b/c I’m wondering if I should be calling my FS this week to discuss even though I still have a week till my BT . . .

    Justonemore – good luck with your TWW!

    Babytruj – how did your scan go?

    Good luck to all of you ladies doing FETs in the next week!

    AFM, I’m one week into my TWW. My BT is a week from today. I’ve been pretty relaxed most of the time, mainly b/c I’m just trying not to think about it. Then in spurts I’ll start thinking that there’s more I should be doing, which will lead me to Dr Google, where I see all sorts of contradictory evidence about things that help. So then I renew my vow to stay away from the computer since it seems to get my stress levels up. I did have acupuncture this morning, which is so great for stress relief. The interesting thing I’m noticed is that the first 4 or 5 days post transfer, I had all sorts of symptoms (bloating, nausea, etc) that must have been either delayed side effects from all the injections, or perhaps new side effects from the Crinone. But now everything’s died down, and I feel the most “normal”, bodywise, that I’ve felt since starting this cycle. Even the bloating’s finally gone away. I hope that’s not a bad sign. I asked the nurse from the clinic when she called to check in with me yesterday, and she seemed to think it didn’t mean anything. By the way, Chekigal, I totally forgot to ask her about the timing of the BT and now I’m embarrassed to call back and sound like I’m second-guessing them. Next time I speak to her I might ask why the wait is so long . . .

    Good luck to all of you and “hi” to anyone I’ve missed.

    Chekigal and K78 - I am so sorry to hear that!

    KitKat - I know how you feel about looking here all the time. Sometimes you just want to not think about it all, and then like me, you miss loads that's going on

    AFM - Sorry no more personals, but I need to read everyone's stuff!!
    Scan yesterday showed lining at 7.2, and my BT from Friday showed Estrodial levels of 1300, so we are going to transfer on Tuesday! Yay! Finally. Now I am just on preogynova tablets and Crinone inserts (yuk)
    So more waiting till Tuesday, and then the big TWW! How will I survive the TWW without going insane?

    What can I expect from FET? Suggestions?

    Chekigal I am so sorry to read your news. Darling I hope that you are feeling alright, and the break for the rest of the year gives you some well earned 'you' time. Take care and be safe XXXXX

    Babytruj, hmmm what to expect....madness and going insane! Na it'l be ok, there are many wonderfull girls here and in the TWW forums that will help you get through it X
    Good luck for Tuesday!!!!XXXX

    Loops, any news yet on that second line?? I hope you are well babe X Take it easy X

    KitKat, 1 week down, well done! I hope the rest of this week flies by for you. Am glad to read you are feeling good, I think the whole TWW thing and feeling loads of different symptoms does not help at all. So rest easy, look after yourself and think happy sticky thaughts X

    Trueblue Yay for the cycle going ahead!! Yay for the 3 follies but ouch for the darn cyst! How do they drain the cyst? Sorry if silly question but I have no idea! X

    Tantee, honey sorry you have to wait until July X Easy for me to say that the time will go quick, I know how frustrating all of this waiting can be. I can't imagin having to wait an entire year to do another cycle, you are a strong girl X

    Leabie, 'Fat guts' hey??? I'd slap my DH if he said that!! Oh that darn OHSS showed up, hope you are feeling alright now X

    Girls I'm having a stuck in a rutt and bad mood day. My DH gives me my inj each night, and this cycle, he has whinged every darn night that he has to stay up until 930pm to give them. What an ass.
    Last night he fell asleep on the couch, and when I woke him, he jumped up and growled at me "hence" giving myself the inj last night. (didn't hurt as much as he does either!)
    Well anyway, each night, I get more and more anxiouse because I know the later in the evening it gets, the grumpier he gets, and it is making me feel like a pain in the butt, and I know that I shouldnt.
    The last cycle we did he treated me like a princess, this time round I'm getting treated like I am in the way.

    Cheekigal- I'm so sorry to hear your news. I'm wishing hugs your way.

    KitKat72- I haven't spoken to the FS for ages. When I got my BFN I just spoke to the nurses at the clinic. They looked me up on the system and the FS had already planned what sort of cycle to put me on. All I had to do was wait for AF to arrive then call the clinic to report a Day 1. I'll speak to FS for the first time in ages this Monday when I go for the first scan. Am hoping she'll let us transfer 2 this time.

    Good luck with your cycle.

    Maggie

    Chekigal - soooo sorry to hear your news sweetie, its devastating. I hope that you two are taking some time out to grieve and be kind to yourselves. All the very best for your next cycle.

    Babytruj - yay for your transfer next Tuesday! Good luck

    KitKat72 - glad that you're going well in the TWW and feeling "normal"! Don't stress that you're feeling that way either, we've got enough to worry about! Everyone's symptoms are different.

    Tantee - I would be having a massive tanty all over my FS if they told me that!! You poor thing, that's terrible. I'm with KitKat - I'd be asking if someone could take over for the month. If not, I'd be shopping around to see if there was a chance with another FS (although that's my terrible impatience talking, ignore me!). Big hugs to you

    Trueblue - great news that you found out whats going on, and that you can still go ahead with the cycle! Woohoo!

    Murraycod - sorry DH is being a pain in the butt. I find they have funny reactions to stress and worrying, maybe thats whats happening? If you've done an injection yourself, I reckon you keep going, girlfriend! You can do it! Especially if it doesn't hurt as much as when he does it And then, he'll feel left out, and wanna join in again. My DH FLATLY refused (including physically jumping back out of the way) when I tried to get him to do the first one! So I knew where I stood from day one :laugh: As for the "fat guts" call - I actually called myself that first! Laughter helped us overcome the worry of my rapidly expanding belly.

    HI to anyone I've missed!

    AFM - well, its the night before "the" test, and I'm crapping my dacks! I've never even made it to my AF due date before, let alone ACTUALLY booked my BT... I had some *TMI* spotting this afternoon, and now I'm going to the loo every half hour to keep checking. I'm going nuts. Apart from that, OHSS seems to have settled again, and I'm suddenly feeling like thats a bad sign, as I must'nt have much HCG in my system anymore... god, its gonna be a long night. Somebody take this head off my shoulders!
