    Bel, I am so so sorry thinking of you xx There is nothing any of us can say right now which will make this easier, but perhaps it helps to know we are here and we care and do understand. Look after yourself and be gentle with yourself.

    Bel - sweetie...take care, we're here if u need someone to chat to

    JBM - hope u feel better

    Possum - those u actually didnt even plan to have 1, conceive so easily. Its so unfair.

    Nicole - im not good with numbers, leave it up to FS to tell me if its good or bad.

    kahlan - stress may cause the imbalance hormone. my normal LH is on a high side, thats e reason i dont O punctually

    Bel, so sorry.. take care.

    Nicole, great to read your next cycle is underway. Things really steam roll once you get to start injections. What is Orgultran?

    JBM, sorry to read AF has reared her ugly head. Take care of yourself. It's such a build up to the whole cycle, try to stay strong. Take the time you need to recover.

    Possums, hoping your frostie thaws ok. Must be an anxious time. Think positive thoughts and keep everything crossed!

    Kahlan, some months our bodies just keep us guessing - so frustrating.

    To those playing the waiting game or injecting or sniffing (or wherever you're up to in your cycle!) hope you are all doing ok.
    I'll check in tomorrow and let you know how the u/s goes...

    Bel,

    I read this somewhere the other day and it made me think of all the heartbreak of LTTTC. Please take care of yourself.

    when the storm rages
    around me,
    and I can hold on no more,
    when the waves of tears engulf me
    and I am weary,
    battered and sore,
    take me then and steer me
    storm-tossed, broken and afraid,
    into the arms of your safe harbour
    safely home.

    big hugs.
    X

    Nic

    Morning all
    Gee I wish it was Friday!!! Well lets just hope the day flys.....
    Woke up this morning and am feeling really tired and heavy...must be the follies growing. Passed lots of Cm (sorry TMI) yestersday which must be due to my E2 levels.
    Other than that can't wait to see how many follies are counted tomorrow..

    Kaydee, Orgalutran prevents a premature LH surge during IVF treatment. As I am doing a short cycle/Antagonist.

    The everyone else hope you all have a great day

    Hi all,

    Well I am out even though I haven't begun this cycle. Had BT yesterday and I still have not O (its day 21 now). My FS said they will have to cancel the cycle and now I need to consider HRT. I told them in the last 3 FET cycles, I had O around day 14... I've got one shot at a natural cycle, hopefully in Oct or else HRT which I am not keen on....

    Thanks so much for all your support...yes, I agree about my stress level. I am convince that my stress level has caused this...

    Bel: So sorry hun big
    JBM: U 2 good to hear you're feeling a little better.
    Possums: I know what u mean! all I seem to see is women with prams & all my friends making play dates! Drives me nuts! Good luck with the thawing! it all goes well!
    Kahlan: sorry to hear about the O next month is better
    To all the ers - Hope you're keeping sane with the waiting!

    AFM: I'm learning big lessons from all of you (thank you!) & have begun charting EVERYTHING that is happening with my cycle in prep as it's been all over the shop the last few months, anything from 28 - 45 day cycles???
    Started Boot Camp this week as part of my current get-fit path. Was running around on the beach in the freezig cold wind & pouring rain at 6am this morning like a complete nutter! What a sight it must have been

    Tomorrow's Friday girls YEEHAH! Hope you all have a restful weekend.

    Evening All,

    Firstly a great big thank you to each and every one of you wonderful ladies for all your support and friendship. You have been and are always amazing to me. I'd struggle without you.

    Kahlan- So sorry your cycle was cancelled. I know too well how hard the disappointment is. I always have to do HRT when doing a FET. I don't find it too bad. At least I know the drugs are getting my body just right for the little ones to go in! I can't do a cycle without the drugs unfortunately. The good thing is you still have your embies waiting for you next cycle. Stay strong.

    JBM- We are troopers aren't we! I'm so happy to see that you are starting to move forward again and that you will be making plans for your next cycle soon. I find it the very best thing for me to do after a setback...plan plan plan! I hope you too are being good to yourself. Am thinking of you.

    Possums- my friend. All the very very best for the morning. I'm happy with the timing for you. I hope your little ones gets nice and comfy tomorrow and settles down for a 9 month stay. I have everything crossed for you. Thankyou for your kindness

    Kaydee- Great results so far. Your lining sounds perfect. Hope those little follies continue to grow over the next couple of days. Drink lots of water.

    Bride of Chucky- You must be getting so excited now. Well done on the boot camp. I need to do something like that but am just too lazy!!

    All my other friends, sending you all a hug and thinking of you all.

    AFM...am moving forward too. Had a good converstaion with my FS today. Am waiting for the witch to show up, then a month on the pill for me. Then am going to do my first antagonist cycle. Apparently this is a lot less needles, and is much quicker, so am happy about that. Just didn't want to have to do another EPU. Have told my manager at work I'm going to need a month off for this next cycle as I can't work and cycle at all, and she is going to help me do that. So that's one less stress for me. I just pray so much that we will get our BFP soon. This is all really starting to take its toll on me and my life.

    Night all

    Hugs Bel

    Possums- No word from you...I'm assuming you are on your way to have your little one transferred. Looking forward to hearing your good news later today.

    AFM- AF has arrived. AAAHHHH!! The love/hate relationship I have with her. I hate her cause it means I'm not pregnant, but I want her to come so I can start again!!

    I'm starting to get on top of it all again

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Hugs Bel

    Possum, Can't wait to hear how your ET went today...very exciting...sending you lots of

    Kaydee, 13 follies...great result. I think I am only two days behind you as my EPU should be next Wednesday...good luck for tomorrows bloods and u/s.

    Janie, thanks for popping in

    Hi to Bel, Kelly, Abbie, Brideofchucky, Neptune and anyone else I missed...hope you ladies are all tracking well

    AFM, Well the blood test and u/s went well this morning and we had a total of 9 follies
    This is not as many as last time but as the nurse said we want quality and quantity is the bonus.
    Right Side x6 ranging from 18.1 to 11.0
    Left Side x3 ranging from 13.0 to 11.1
    E2 = 2600
    My next bloods and U's is on Monday and EPU should be around Wednesday...very excited as I am starting to feel like a BIG FAT COW...all part of the fun I guess

    Hope you all have a great arvo and weekend...
