Ellie all the best for your transfer.

G'day Shelly, Lauz and Cory, and welcome.

Mel, I know this is not the result you had expected given your previous cycle was different, but, for argument's sake they get 4 eggs then they may well get 1-2 blasties from that. Just beause your first go was a high egg yield but low blastie doesn't mean that this time you wont have a better blastie rate. From what I've seen on this forum over the past few months, no two cycles (with the same person) ever seem to be the same. So try not to give up just yet and see what eventuates.

BW, good to see you're still truckin'.

BG, speaking of truckin', how's your bloke fairing at the moment. When is your official test? I know you've already done at least 1 POAS.

GL with the appt on Tuesday Shannon.

Would be interested in hearing how Nic, Chez, Ali, Lou and others are going. I know I've missed some.

Well, today DW is up to Day 12 of Lucrin I think and Day 4 of Puregon (@ 100IU). Despite not overly looking forward to administering the Puregon because of that space shuttle pen, it's not that hard once you get started. At the dosage of 100IU from a 300IU cartridge, is it normal to have a bit left over after the third night? Don't know if any of you have ever had the same dosage, but I get the feeling from the stuff printed on the cartridge that they put a bit extra in.

Anyway, the Puregon has been sliding in effortlessly, but for some reason the Lucrin has become more difficult - there seems to be more resistance breaking the skin and DW is definitely feeling it more. I'm still using the same syringes and needles as before, so either her skin is going like leather (which goes against the ease of entry for the Puregon) or my technique is starting to suck. Plus last night there was a large bead of blood that jumped out from both needles, whereas before there hasn't been as much as a pinhead, except for the first night.

Anyway, second BT was this morning and DW is an old pro with needles now. She isn't even nervous before the BT whereas before IVF I could make her faint talking about the specifics of needles which was deadset funny. So, results this arvo and an u/s on Monday. EPU late next week I assume if she gets some decent follie action.
