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!!
Good afternoon one and all...IT"S FRIDAY and you gotta be happy with that.....
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...

kelly: you sound like me, and sometimes my dh can be very wussy too.
janie: thanks so much for your support, hope all is well with you and your bub. and hope your sisters bub o.k too and out of hospital .
abbie:thanks for your thoughts, hope all is going well for you too.
kaydee:hope trigger goes well on sat and epu on monday, don't do anything to much aft epu as it is really exhausing. crinone gel is yuk!!
bridechucky: you sound as crazy as me, although running in the rain on the beach is very crazy!
hope all is well
bel: thankyou so much, i do know how sad you're feeling. i had a cry today at yoga and in the car, had to have some retail therapy to help me. i don't think it worked. i am thinking of you too.
good luck
afm: well i phoned clinic today and told them about af( the nasty whitch she is) and i have to wait til next month as fs is off on hols for 2 weeks next week.
so looks like it will be oct for next bubsicle tfer.
so for next 6 weeks i am going crazy with excercise and healthy eating and praying for a BFP next time.
hugs to all
I hope you don't mind me posting as I am a newbie.
Hubby and I have been trying to conceive for over 2 years, had countless tests and all seems okay. I am one of those "unexplained" cases.
I am in my after my 2nd IUI and feeling nervous about the result.
I thought it might be calming to talk to others who share this journey as none of my friends nor family have been through this.
I also don't know if I want to go ahead with a 3rd IUI cycle...... I am sceptical as Endo has not been eliminated and I have been told that IUI is kinda pointless if I do have Endo.
Any advice or stories anyone could share with me would be so VERY much appreciated
Hello lovely ladies...firstly, thanks so much for all your support and well wishes.
The good news is, our Frostie thawed OK and we had a lovely 5 day blastocyst transferred at lunchtime today. It was a big day for us, with a total of 6 hours driving, but hopefully this is the start now of our little one growing. Fingers crossed! As soon as I arrived back I went for a session with the acupuncturist, so feeling nice and relaxed. And now DH is cooking me some dinner. I so hope this is our turn for a BFP. Now the waiting begins.....
Bel, glad you have sorted things with work and have a plan for the future, and at least a little less stress. It will hopefully help you move forward to a better place. Hugs to you and thanks for all the nice support.
JBM, same goes for you...I'm thinking of you... it's hard to regroup but I found planning the best step helped me after our last cycle.
shelbee..hi and welcome. you'll find lotsof support here
Nicole- glad things are porgressing well for you...getting closer now
Neptune..happy sniffing! hope AF arrives soon
Kaydee- pleased to hear you are having good progress
brideofchucky- good luck with the fitness and boot camp!you running in the rain made me smile
abbie, Janie and Kelly- hello, hope you are all doing well- thanks for the well wishes
to anyone I have missed....wishing you all the best too
I guess I'll head over to the TWW now...I can't believe I am heading back in there already
Lots has happened this week I feel drained and emotional!
Possums congratulations on the transfer and hope you end up with a BFP this time!
Shelbee welcome! I did IUI for 2 cycles, and then decided to move in to IVF. I dont have endo, but just wanted to move onto the next step. I was getting frustrated with IUI and only decided to give it a go b/c the FS said I should. Good luck I hope it all works out for you, I know a few people who have success with it.
JBM I think its great that you are spending the next week looking after yourself. I dont know about you but since I have started all this treatment I seem to be slowly but gradually gaining weight and plan to do the same if this cycle doesnt work out for me.
NicoleS that's great news, looks like you, Kaydee and myself will be very close this cycle as my EPU has been confirmed for Tuesday. 9 follicles is great, congrats!
Bell sorry things didnt work out for you this cycle, but its great that you have your plan to move forward now. Keep positive and I'm sure the BFP cant be too far away.
BrideofChucky Boot camp sounds great, a friend of mine lost lots of weight doing that, good on you for being healthy!
Kaydee Congratulations on the 13 follicles, and wishing the best of luck for Monday, Next week will be interesting with a few of us having our EPU's.
To everyone else good hope you are all doing well and plan to enjoy yourselves this weekend!
AFM what can I say, I have had a crazy week. Went to the FS last Friday, there we 4 follicles, so he increased my gonal-f to 450 for 5 days. So I went back on Wednesday and GUESS WHAT, still only 4 follicles! Talk about being devasted! Anyway upped my dose to 600 and had another visit today. As expected still only 4 follicles. FS says for some reason the ones on my Right ovaries are not doing anything and I have 4 on my left that are ready. So still on 600 (which btw is making me emotional, and making me cry which I hate to do!)until EPU. We are going ahead with the EPU on Tuesday, the nurses called me earlier to confirm. I am excited now, still dissapointed with only 4 follicles, but I am just hoping they are good ones and all fertalise and give me my BFP!
Sorry for the long post but I haven't written all week!

Yay Possums! Hope all goes well for you and you get that great . Glad I could make you smile. If it makes you feel even better I'm doing it all again 2moro at dawn - yep even on a Saturday! (groan)
Shelbee! These guys rock and you can learn so much from them!
LuckyStrike: Am those follies do as they're told! Good luck for Tues!
JBM: Good to see you're getting better day by day! Retail therapy is my favourite kind, especially those of the footwear persuasion (my other nickname is Imelda)
Bel: :goodluck2: with your next cycle hun! AF is also good as she gives you an excuse to eat lots, be moody and behave badly without question
Sorry guys I'm in a completely crazy and twisted mood tonight!
Hope everyone else is doing well, whatever stage you're at!
AFM I'm good. Glad it's Friday. Glad I don't have to see my boss for two days. Just biding my time & counting sleeps. Speaking of which, me & the furry-kid are off to bed!
Hi Ladies, don't you just wish it was Friday afternoon again and we can have the weekend all over again
futuremum, to the thread...hope this is your lucky last IVF cycle.
LuckyStrike, Good luck for you EPU on Tuesday...looks like's it's Kaydee, You then Me....grow little follies grow
Smithy, any news of AF yet?
shelbee, I guess I too am on the "unexplained" cases list as well. We also did x2 IUI and moved to IVF. I have no symptoms of Endo but it is always at the back of my mind.
The only advise I can give is maybe you should speak to another FS.
Good luck and know that we are all here for you.
Kaydee, ALL THE BEST for tomorrow..I'll be thinking of you and hope that you get lots of eggies.
Well I'm off to do some shopping....have a great evening ladies and all the best to who I have missed

Thank you all so much for making me feel so I feel better already. I am so glad I took the leap and posted (this is something I have never done before)
Possums and Bride of Chucky, :goodluck2: to you both. Can't wait to hear the news about your !!!
Nicole S, Isn't being "unexplained" frustrating? I may just take your advice and get a 2nd opinion. Hope you had some great retail therapy!
Futuremum, I hope this time is the charm
Luckystrike, it is understandable that you are darined and emotional. Sometimes a good is a good release! I too am emotional on my meds and cry over the silliest things BUT going through fertility treatment gives us permission to cry at the drop of a hat!! I am sure your 4 follies will do you proud this week:goodluck2:
Thank you once again for your kind welcome and support ladies.
My is up next Monday (15th) and I will have the dreaeded blood test
Last night I had a dream that I was in labour and it was so vivid that I could actually feel the pain. I hope this is a good sign!!
Kaydee - Good luck today, I hope the EPU goes well! Fingers crossed that you have lots of healthy follicles! You'll have to tell me how you go today as my turn is tomorrow and I am a "little" nervous!
hi all, feeling much better today amazingly. a weekend of gardening and relaxing has done good. also af is starting to slow down now after a waterfall on weekend!
got only 1 boy today as school hols are on and 2 boys going to school hol prog for day for a bus trip. anyway fathers day was good and now it's time to refocus on next step for me. counting down to next cycle 5 weeks or so i hope.
