    Hi Everyone,

    I am new to the site and to IVF and was looking for some support! It's great to hear positive stories (congratulations btw ) and you all sound so knowledgeable about what is going on.

    Quick background:
    Me 25 PCOS and endo.
    DH 27 Practically Perfect in Every Way
    TTC naturally for 2 years.
    Started IVF this week... was already on synarel for the endo, so I was offered IVF on Wednesday and started the gonal f pen on friday. You might be able to understand that now I am starting to get a bit freaked out because it is happening so soon. At first I thought, YAY, I will be able to get pregnant and now I keep thinking about how shattered I will be if it doesn't work.

    I was wondering if anyone has experienced bleeding while on the gonal f (or similar). I have a bt scheduled for wednesday but I've been bleeding since saturday. Also, does anyone know if you can ask for 2 embryos to be transferred and if they just have to do it, or is it essentially up to the FS?

    Anyway, Hi!!

    WOW get back from a week in Tassie and the whole BB site has changed and so much has been going on in here. So keeping it short for the moment.
    Had a great time in Tassie - funds got a bit short but we still made our own fun doing a lot of free stuff.
    AF arrived the day we got there - not good when you want to TTC on holiday but I was glad that FINALLY she arrived and probably means my body is getting back to normal after the M/C. So we can start trying naturally again and get ready for hopefully another IVF/ICSI go in July (provided we sell our tractor).

    Cancelled cycle - how long till AF arrives?

    Hi all,

    To everyone at all the different stages I am wishing all the very best and ing that the BFP's continue.

    I am sorry for no personals but we get back to you all later as I have to go to work.

    I have a quick question. My ICSI cycle was cancelled due to one follicle taking the lead way too early. Anyway since then it has been 3 weeks and still no AF. I have got a BFN on every poas so am not pregnant. How long does it take for AF to arrive??????

    Jilly I would imagine if you have fairly regular cyces then your AF should arrive any day (Not much help I know) if you had a dominate follie 3wks ago then it could have still taken a week to ovulate and then assuming appro 2week LP phase you should be due now at the later end. Hope it arrives soon or even better your pregnant.

    Murraycod hope you have lots of lovely blasties to freeze. On another thread it sounds like you should have quite a number. Hope its more then your expecting and you have lots of snowbubs left for future transfers after this juicy blastie on board is born in 9months. You will hear me screaming with joy from your place when you announce your BFP lol

    Stupid computer is playing up. Try and be back later.

    Jilly, it would depend on when (or possibly if) that lead follicle might have O'd. If you're concerned, it might be worth calling your doctor's office and asking them about it? They will know whether your situation is normal or not and what (if anything) to do.

    Hi to everyone else!

    Sorry for the lurk mode. I'm still pretty down about the transfer news, so have been laying low. I've been so stressed out of late (high workload+IVF+break-in), it has just been harder to get past even small disappointments. At least the high workload is gone for now, but now I'm stressed out about having nothing to do and not meeting billings targets, so I can't really win.

    Jilly, I don't have an answer for you, im not sure what could be going on there, just wanted to give you a hug too XXX

    Lairdoz - my thoughts are with you and i'm hoping this horrible run for you in 2010 comes to a holt! Hoping that somehow, somewhere the heartbreak, turmoil, pain, exhaustion and overall time/wait has not been in vain. All the words possible to bring on all that's needed for you to get there... xxx

    Welcome to some new names - I hope your stay is short. This forum is very quiet at the moment, I think a lot of us are just waiting, and trying not to think too much about this process!!

    Hang in there everyone.

    BT on Monday for me!!
