1 more congratulations on making your decision to go with IVF! I don't think you'll regret it and hopefully you'll get your bfp much quicker than IUI. Good luck with changing your diet and losing some weight, I'm sure you'll be successful because you have great motivation!

Positively, id love to catch up! I live 3 minutes from Subi, does next week suit? I will try and PM you today, if it doesn't work are you happy to send me your email address?

I agree with Juniper re the Vitex, I wouldn't take it unless your FS agrees. My natropath recommended I take it when I was leading up to my fresh cycle and my FS said not to take it? I didn't ever ask why to be honest - but I would definitely check before starting! I also agree with Junipers recommendations on what to take to maximize egg quality! The CoQ10 I reckon worked wonders for my egg quality (so far both embryo's transferred from that cycle have resulted in bfp's the first time! And I also credit it with getting 17 eggs and 12 fertilizing). Anything you can do to maximize the number of eggs collected and their quality is a brilliant idea....

Positively I am the opposite to Juniper on the bloating front.. With the twins I had no bloating because it was a natural FET, eg I didn't need to trigger as I ovulated by myself (but I didn't take Clomid on that cycle either). This cycle - uuuuugggghhhh - the bloat happened almost immediately after I did the trigger... It started to disappear almost exactly the same time as I tested the trigger out of my system. So I look pretty normal now compared to the pot belly and muffin tops I had for a week straight after the trigger I honestly looked 6 months pg for the week after the trigger, but as soon as the trigger disappeared from my system the bloating eased (thankfully). Everyone is different - so don't be concerned if the bloating goes away, it doesn't mean your not pg or you won't get your bfp (I know you'll be watching for symptoms like a hawk) - and I know everyone is different with symptoms eg: some people get them and some people don't... But for me in both of my bfp cycles - sore boobies, like way spree than just the progesterone from about 3dpt on (this may be slightly later for you because you are having a day 3 and not day 5 transfer), pulling on front left side and sore lower back - both similar to ov or AF pain. I reckon those are the 3 main symptoms to watch for!

Joski - I so hope your BT reveals more about what is going on At least then you'll know whether you ovulated or whether it was an anovulatory cycle? If it wad the latter, try not to be disappointed - my FS always said that the cycle after an anovulatory cycle, was always a really good one? Fingers crossed for you this is the case!

WW it's nice to see you!

1 more I forgot to say - if your accu recommends you start taking any herbs - make sure you check with your FS before you start taking anything! My FS and actually, my whole clinic advise you not to take any Chinese herbs while IVF cycling. Apparently some of the herbs can impact the way your body responds to the meds in a collection cycle? And actually I wanted to use herbs when I was doing my FET (the twins cycle) and my FS said no as well as apparently the herbs can impact the temperature of your uterus (which needs to be just so - so that the embie can implant). I did accu the whole way through though and it was awesome. With the twins I was such a believer that I actually did an accu session ore transfer and one straight after! Hahahaha - this cycle no accu and I still got a bfp, so obviously it wasn't critical in my case

Hope everyone has a great day! I've decided not to test again before the BT, I was really happy with yesterday's line, so I dont see any point in doing my own head in over the darkness of the line (thank you gorgeous myturn for helping me see reason on this matter). I'm feeling really good about the result and strangely I generally worry about getting a bfp, but I don't worry so much about it sticking (probably because I haven't really had any issues in this area before), both of the mc I suffered were due to genetic abnormalities - so if I have a mc I know it's probably for the best because of a genetic abnormality. Hoping for an hcg level of above 100 tomorrow. I get that then I will be able to relax a whole heap more! What is everyone doing for Easter? We are going East and I'm really looking forward to it now.
