Just popping in to spread some love and hugs and baby dust .
Nic the waiting must be driving you crazy, I hope the phone call this arvo is good news.
Kate I hope AF turns up for you soon.
Good luck everyone else, I've been reading but not posting much because I'm at the boring part of my cycle. Trying acupuncture for the first time friday, fingers crossed that it works.

I'm back - hey girls - i'm feeling really selfish I haven't even asked anyone how they are going today. Feel free to tell me to dry my eyes and toughen the F up next time
Oscar - I had my first acupuncture last Saturday - I don't know why but I'm carrying a LOT of tension in the middle of my back (not normal for me - it's usually neck and shoulders) and after the session I had a fabulous night sleep with no nightmares and the tension is back in the same spot now, but I blame the "so close and yet so far away" feeling I am having this week. I'm off for another session this Saturday - I can't wait. The lady was awesome - she picked up on a couple of issues without me saying anything and she advised me to get rid of my belly button ring. Apparently it is on the conception line and the exnergy is being disrupted because of it. Anyway - relax and ejoy - mine did some massage as well. Gorgeous.
I just got the call. Another BT & US Thursday - I was close. Good news is that the nurse said that my Dr told her that we should almost be there by then. My oestrogen was up to 2196 - which they were very happy with.
For the girls with the babies on board (bel & baby dream time) I hope you are having a lovely day - I have a really good feeling about you two and this month being the month for you both......
I have to get back to work - I will be back later this evening to sprinkle some dust and vibes around the place.
Nixon: I think the follicle sizes are a bit hard to judge by the u/s. At my first u/s I only had 8 follicles growing to a good size and heaps of little ones, so my puregon was increased to let the other folicles grow some more and try and catch up to the bigger ones. At my second u/s had lots of follicles but as there wasn't a lot of room left in my ovaries they still seemed small and squashed together. However come the day of EPU, they retrieved 30 mature eggs. So even though the follicle appeared small in the u/s (due to lack of space) they still contained mature eggs. Fingers crossed this is the case for you.
Neptune: During my IVF cycle my FS advised that when DTD to use protection in case when you trigger you ovulate early. However to get the best swimmers you should DTD 2 days before the EPU. As this is normally before you trigger you shouldn't have O'd as this is scheduled to coincide with the EPU. If you have any doubt thought do a HPT, better to be sure.
Hi everyone. Hope things are going to plan for you all.
I had my EPU today - we got 20 eggs which I was really, really relieved about. I've been worrying because I've had no pain whatsoever with the gonal-f injections, and my last IVF stim cycle was excruciating. So of course I've been imaging that nothing much was happening in my ovaries I'm so glad I was wrong.
My FS will ring tomorrow to let me know how many fertilised, then we'll have 2 embies transferred on Friday
Nixon -Good news on your oestrogen levels
Oscaroscar - enjoy your acupuncture session. I've had good results with acupuncture too - it really relaxes me. I've even fallen asleep with needles poking out of me before!
Neptune - I think you should be fine to DTD while you're taking Synarel - we did, although I never thought to ask about it. I think the effect synarel has on your hormones woould mean that you'd be very unlikely to conceive naturally while taking it anyway. So enjoy some 'free' DTD that has no strings attached to it lol.
Marsha - how are you going? How did your urine test go?
kateB - sending you *AF vibes*. I once had a 108 day cycle, so I can appreciate the frustration you're going through. So much waiting!
Aleenta - great to hear that AF showed up for you. Acupuncture rocks!
JBM - hope this FET cycle is your lucky one
Bee83 - I hate the nasal sprays too. It's so hard to not sneeze after sniffing something like that. And I hate how 10 minutes later it drips down the back of my throat and tastes disgusting.
Thinking of you all, wherever you might be in your cycle *hugs*
