Thanks, that sounds like what the doctor told us we'd have done. Can you pls tell me how long the whole process takes? We've only just got the referral from our GP and I'm not sure if I'll need courses of medication or anything first...

:dance:JBM hopeing you get your bfp hun..good luk
Unfortunately I'm back here, our FET was a BFN today so onto our 6th round of treatment. Going straight into another FET cycle once AF arrives. So over it all :(
BecD & JBM: I'm :pray: for a :bfp: for you both soon!!!
Have had a hell of a few days. step-sons reactions to our IVF plans didn't really go well at all :( gonna be a long road there...
Hope everybody is well and not bogged down by this horrid flu that's going around!
Hi Brideofchucky (great name!:)),:
I wish you well in you TTC journey, we all seem to have different challenges, obviously the most difficult is the process to get that BFP. You are doing IVF right? Regarding timframes, I made the decision in Oct 07 to go head with IVF, had an appointment with the FS straight away (we had seen him on and off for about a year before for a laparoscopy etc). Once the decision was made we started on Day 21 of that cycle with Syneral, waited for AF, started stims and went from there. Unfortunately ours wasn't smooth sailling, and we had a few false starts, I had mild ovarian hyperstimulation (OHSS) for the first cycle, EPU was cancelled. Waited for AF, had a month off to recover, waited for AF again, started Syneral on Day 21 again (so technically 2 months later), got OHSS again, but they decided to go to EPU, but no transfer, 21 follies retrieved, 15 fertilised, all frozen. Then two months off again, and bad timing as I was international on holidays, so I didn't actually do my first FET until Jun 08 (almost 9 months from starting). I guess this is all to say that sometimes it is a bit of trial and error to get the level of meds right etc and for the FS to learn how your body responds.
In saying all of this, I hope it is a dream IVF cycle for you and you get your BFP first go, I know that it can happen that way. Best of luck and look forward to reading how you go.
:hug:
thanks smithy
so sorry for bfn bec, great to see you moving right onto next one . hoping for a BFP soon for you.

JBM..go get that BFP hun,thinking of you
good luk to all you girls what eva your up to !!
me waiting for af ,shes taken her time :doh:
Hi
I have been reading your thread for a couple of weeks now and finally thought I would put pen to paper and write something. When we firsted started trying I never thought that nearly 3 years on I would have gone through 3 IVF cycles, 1 Blastocyst Transfer a Chinese Natropath, a number of books and a Japanese Accupunturist...... Everyone tells me to stay postive blah blah blah...If getting pregnant relied on my attitude I would have been pregnant twice over!!!
Anyway after discovering this Forum I have discovered that it sucks for so many of us. I know that some days are much easier than others, I know the wait is cruel and there are times where you're scared to go to the toilet because you want to hope a little longer.... A real rollercoster hey....Who said life was boring.
Currently we are awaiting (6weeks) some tests...Dr has said that given our age (32 & 31) etc etc we should have fallen pregnant by now (I could have told him that!!!!). Have Kerotype test, Uterus lining tests and a series of blood tests. Hopefully will get some answers....That will be great....
It has been nice meeting you all (well kind of meeting you) under not so nice circumstances!!!!
Anyway nice to
Hi all my friends,
Well, I'm back again. Have had over a week to clear my head after my latest BFN. Am into another cycle already and am just cruising at the moment.
Am sick with this stupid headache/ throat infection thing going round..I don't do sick. I HATE it!!!
I'll be back tomorrow to post some more and try to catch up with everyone. Just wanted to say hi tonight.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Big hugs
Bel
Hello everyone! I am back again too, from our holiday (sadly have the flu) and have started daily blood tests to track when I ovulate, for my natual FET cycle...we only have one frozen and we are nervous about it thawing OK when the time comes.
It's too hard to catch up on everyone's news, so I'll just start fresh from here.... sending you all the very best though, for the different stages you are currently at. :)
Bel, I left you a message in the TWW thread too...but sorry you didnt get that BFP this time...hopefully we are both heading for one soon! :pray:
I am actually not in a very good head space right now...I thought I'd be a bit brighter, but I guess not being well, finding work tough going and a few other personal issues going on, on top of the IVF stuff is really taking it's toll right now. I am crying a lot. Anyway...will get there!
It really breaks my heart to read some of your stories...
Pregnancy is something so many people take for granted. You never really realise it could ever be so hard. You just assume it will happen one day.
I :pray: that you all get that dream one day and I admire your strength. I don't know how the hell you cope with that TWW... man I'm gonna be climbing the walls when I get to that stage (patience is not exactly one of my best qualities:D)
Have a great Wednesday!!!
Hiya Girls,
Bride OC - I'm with you patience is a difficult one!
Possums and Bel sorry to hear you both are unwell, hopefully you shake off your sickness asap and feel back on track, sending good vibes...and hoping your next round brings joy
BDT - your summary was a good one, I was the same it took a while to get the meds right
Bec D, sorry to hear you didn't get your dream this time round, hope next time is your time
Hoping - welcome, hope your stay is not long
Smithy, hoping your AF hurries up, I used acupuncture to hurry mine up and it seemed to work (3 days after)
Bee - I hope your transfer went well
JBM and Bee - here's to a trio of BFP!!! As of today I am joining you in the TWW
So here's my update. I had EPU on Monday, 8 eggs retrieved and a big relief as no signs of OHSS this time - yay my fab FS got the meds right!! I went in for transfer today, and I had two gorgeous embies (well they looked pretty cute) transfered, the FS was saying they were good, but who knows. DH was relieved 'his boys had done the job" we had ICSI as they are lazy amongst other things.. So we had another 4 fertilised and hoping they will make it to the freezer in case. I then had acupuncture this afternoon which I found really calming and I intend to go once a week for a while, it can't hurt anyway..
So I am feeling excited to have made it this far, I have never made it this far before and this is the closest I have ever been to pregnant. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up too high, but I figure I am going to be disappointed if it doensn't turn out anyway so I may as well spend the TWW feeling positive.
Hugs to all and I hope you can all find a little something to make you smile in your day
Possums- Hi my friend. So glad to see you back here. I hope you had an amazing holiday and got lots of R&R. I hear you with the hard time thing. I'm going through a bit of a downer time at the moment too. I think after being on this journey for so long, all the emotions eventually catch up with you. I'm trying so hard to stay strong but am too doing more than my fair share of crying. I'm sure not feeling well doesn't help either. Really glad to hear from you though and thanks for the kind words. Big hugs
BrideofChucky- How are things going with you? This TTC journey can be really hard and overwhelming, but for me it is also empowering that I am actually doing something about my infertility. And that I am still relatively sane after being on this journey a lot longer than I ever would have imagined. I wish you all the strength you need to get through this too. I would have had a really hard time without all the wonderful support that I get from so many beautiful people here. I hope we can be of support to you to.
Aleenta- Congrats on the 2 little ones on board. I wish you a stress free TWW (well low stress anyway!!) I'm so glad for you that your Dr got things right and you didn't get OHSS again. I'll be keeping an eye out for you in the TWW thread.
Smithy- My friend...How are you doing? I think of you all the time and wish for you all the very best.
AFM- scan tomorrow to check my lining for a transfer hopefully on Thursday next week. 1 frostie left, so I am being realistic. I know that it is very likely we won't make it to TF. I am praying for a miracle. Tomorrow is my 1st appointment with my new FS after my guru FS has left my clinic. Maybe the 3rd FS will bring luck for us!!
All my other friends, am always thinking of you all and hoping that you move into the pregnancy threads really soon.
Night night
Hugs Bel
Thought it was about time I popped in and said hi.
Starting first ivf cycle, first injection tonight. Excited that the ball is now on the roll and gathering speed! What a wait while pill popping and sniffing! I've started at a new acupuncture clinic too and am really excited about it all.
Looking forward to chatting with you all on your journeys.
ALEENTA..aww good on you hun and best of luk with your 2 lil miricales i hope they bring you a huge BFP..
BEL..gee i hope you get there this time hun you are surely in my thoughts and i hope this little bubsicle brings you a huge BFP to my sweet..
KAYDEE..best of luk with your first injection hun not long now and youll be at EPU
ME.. no af yet:doh:i dont like her much !!lol
Good luck Kaydee... Hope you get some good size follicles...Remember it is not the quantity but the quality that counts cause at the end of the day you only need 1....
I too have started accupunture recently and am wondering what are the benefits excatly. My clinic Dr seemed to think it was more for my own relaxation....Any comments???
3 x IVF
1 x FET
Hi Everyone
Thankyou for all the warm welcomes! Sorry I havent been on in a while however I did try and post something a couple days ago and lost it! It was late so I went to bed after that.
Kaydee - I agree about the pill popping and sniffing, it was so boring! Good luck with the injections. Today was my 4th one so we are close together in our first IVF cycle. Good luck!
Bell - good luck with your U/S tomorrow and hope your frosty makes it for your transfer!
Aleenta - congratulations on the transfer. Hope your little embies stick and you get a BFP this cycle. Dont get too crazy in your 2WW :)
Possums - welcome back from your trip and its OK to feel emotional. The fact that your are sick is probably making you feel worse! Try and stay positive and hope your embie makes the thaw! :goodluck:
Hoping - Welcome and good luck with your tests. The unknown is always hard!
Smithy - Hope AF finally arrives so you can get started on your 3rd cycle! All this waiting is crazy!
AFM still taking gonal-f. Havent noticed anything strange, so not sure if that is good or bad. Have my app with the FS on Friday for an U/S, so hopefully I'll get some answers then. I am nervous, I pray that I have a good number of follicles, and we can start planning the EPU. It is the ONLY thing on my mind at the moment, and cant wait for Friday to come so I can finally get my answers.
To anyone I have missed, good luck with your current cycles and wish you all the best of luck!
hi girls,
Wow so much has passed... some new faces...welcome... some familiar faces... Welcome back Bel and Possum...
Aleenta, JBM and Bee.... congrats on the transfer...hope to join you guys soon...
AFM, I had the hardest 1 1/2 week... I was so stress out which virtually completely wiped my mind of any thoughts of IVF, O and charting.....unfortunately the problems are not going away... some good I have done in the past had come back to bite me in the butt... Anyway, I am hoping that I would O soon so the whole excitement of it will take my mind off my current dilemmas.... I am so scared that I won't ovulate this month (which is very unusual... but why has it not come? Funny thing though, my bb are progressive getting more sore.. just like a stimulated cycle when I was on the injection... however no sign of CM yet...so confusing!
Wow so many of you now it's hard to keep up! I'm slowly getting the hang of this... thanks to everyone for their kind replies!
Had a very emotional 24hrs, but obviously nothing compared to you guys! One of my step sons has now pulled out of our wedding party as he cannot deal with us wanting to have a family. He's made it very clear from Day 1 that he will never approve of me. It's a real kick in the guts to us both and we are totally devastated.
But on the positive... made our 1st appointment with the FS! :dance:16th Oct is the big day and am keeping focused on that! Anyone dealt with Dr Hedges in Newcastle? Heard good things about him so fingers crossed!:crossfingers:
Hello to all you lovely ladies.
I'm a bit short of time, so can't respond to everyone, but there is some exciting stuff waiting around the corner for all of us, I can just feel it. This is a lucky thread :goodluck2:
AFM. I started snorting the Synarel last night. So far so good, don't seem to have any side effects so far. Did anyone have any nasties from this stuff?
So just waiting for AF now, and then we are on track.;)
;)BRIDEOFCHUCKY..hunny i no just how you feel about the wedding thing my dh kids were and still are exactlly the same from the start they have not wanted a bar of me no matter what i have tried.they are older though eldest 24,youngest 20 .hey also said they would come to our wedding with step son # 2 being bestman and none of them have showed up still to this day and will have no contact with there father because of me dh is even a grandfater now and still has not been told from his daugher..grandchild now being 2 so there you go .
BUT they are grown now and adults them selves so they ahve there own lives as long as they all stay out of mine as they had there chance with me and dh and our new lives together and BLEW IT .dh loves his kids very much ,but this is his life now;)
WOW SORRY ABOUT THAT RANT GIRLS TOUCHY SUBJECT LOL
woah!!! alot to catch up....
smithy & neptune - AF pls come......
boc - stay positive dearie.
kahlan -relax dear, emotion will so affect our hormones
luckystrike - grow follies!!!!
those TWW including ME - :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Hi Girls,
Bel you are such a sweetie, thanks for your good wishes and I sincerely hope your scan went well and praying your frostie makes it through
Smithy - thanks also and I really hope your AF makes an appearance asap. Also great post on the step children - you are so right everyone has to live their own life and unfortunately sometimes people have different interpretations of what that should be
Bride OC I hope time passes fast until your appointment and your wedding dramas disappear
Neptune - glad to hear your making progress I was fine on the synarel no issues at all so hopefully will be the same for you
Lucky strike - good luck with the cycle, if this helps, when my FS got my dose right this time I felt just fine on gonal f no side effects to report and I got 8 good eggs with 2 transferred and hopefully 4 good frosties. Hope it is good to you too.
Kahlan - I hope your luck changes, sounds like you are having a bad run, hugs to you and looking forward to you joining us in TWW.
Hugs to all
Hi also Marsha, we must have been typing at same time - sticky vibes right back at you!
Good luck with TWW, I there with you!
Hi everyone. Thanks for the welcome.
Hoping, my first acupuncture session focussed on lifestyle and diet. The lady I saw explained how closely linked the digestive system and fertility is... she said if your digestive system is out of balance it can affect ability to conceive. She's organised some simple changes to the type of foods I eat and at what time of the day to eat those types of foods - starting slowly! She then did a session of needles and I felt really relaxed after it so I imagine when it comes to relieving anxiety and stress it really helps too.
Smithy, great to catch up with you in this thread! Where is AF??? It's always the way, when you want her to show up.... and when you don't... :wall:
Luckystrike, we are really close in this cycle! Hope your appt tomorrow goes well. What dose of gonal-f are you on?
Kahlan, hope your week becomes a little more relaxing. The weekend is in sight! Take care.
Neptune, the only noticable side affects I had from Synarel was the headaches and tiredness. I guess everyone is different though. I was warned side affects could mimic those of someone going through menopause - hot flushes, moods, etc... GL with the sniffing.
Best wishes for you Neptune, the 16th Oct will come around soon enough. Seems like you've got enough on your plate, organising a wedding! (and coping with all the family issues that come with it) Hope it all works out.
:2ww: to all those who are passing the time on the tww. Lets hope we see lots of positive news soon.
Well girls - how are you all? I haven't been around much this past week - had the lovely gastro that's been going around. My AF has finally turned up - so we can start IVF#2. I know I should be going 'yay', but to tell you the truth I am really scared.
I asked my doctor what would happen if we had a low response to the higher dose (highest dose there is) and she basically said nothing. So, this is it. Last cycle we only had one or two follicles - if it doesn't work this time I just don't know what I'm going to do.
My work have been really painful too. I had time off when our cycle was cancelled (2 days) and from that they wrote me a letter about how I have to speak directly to them if I want time off. Well, with gastro I was in that much pain on Tuesday that the doctor gave me an injection to get rid of the pain and I pretty much zonked out. My DH rang my manager that night and left a message and the next day my General Manager rang and said I had to call and speak with her directly. Huh! I was asleep dammit! My DH rang her and she said if I was really that sick I would be in hospital. I really don't need this 'you know what' from them. Bunch of unfeeling uncaring......
Sorry about this rant. I'm just a bit scared and over having to worry about pathetic things like work and their stupid little control games. I'm very close to quitting my job - but of course we need the money to be able to afford IVF!!
Kate B - I'm sorry to hear about your work situation, that sounds awful! How stupid are these managers - it's well known that if you give your employers flexibility, TRUST and appropriate time off, they will come back at you with productivity and a willingness to get the job done. Hope it improves for you.
KayDee - I am back to the acupuncturist next Friday and looking forward to it. Above all, I find it relaxing, and it it does other things too GREAT!
Aleenta - Good luck in the 2WW!!!!
Bride OC - Sounds like a nightmare with your step kids. Just give it time I guess, and it will all settle down.
Marsha - good luck with the 2WW.
Kahlan - sounds like everything is happening with you you poor chick. Maybe it's a full moon or something, but things will settle down. When I get really stressed about many things (a bit too frequently), I try to separate the things in my mind that I can do something about, work out a plan of action to address those things - then the things I have no control over, I kind of push from my mind. It may help.
Luckystrike - hang in there on those drugs - may be a good thing that you don't feel anything different?
Hey to everyone else, must dash to work now.
Morning Ladies
Neptune - Only thing I noticed when taking syneral was that my head felt very congested and had a mild headache. This was after a few weeks of takig it though. Initially I didnt feel anything.
KateB - Sorry to hear about your work situation. I havent told them abotu IVF at work, so I am just trying to work around things for now. We have flexible working conditions at my work, so I guess that makes it much easier also. As for this cycle. I wish you the best of luck! I really hope that you get lots of follies this time! The IVF experience is very frustrating...
Kaydee - Yes we are very close this cycle. I was on 225 for 5 days but this morning doc told me to increase to 450!
Kahlan - sounds like you are a little stressed now, sometimes that effects ovulation, so just "try" and let yourself relax a little. I know that is usually easier said then done though :)
AFM Had my U/S this morning. There were 4 follies and my FS said that is not good enough, we need more. So he increased my gonal-f from 225 to 450. I have to take that for 5 days and have another U/S with him on Wednesday. I asked when Egg collection would be and he said late next week/early week after.
Has anyone had this happen to them before? FS seems to think more will grow with the higer dosage. I feel a little down this morning, after my visit. Reason why we are doing IVF is b/c of DH's sperm, perhaps there is also an issue with myself that I am not aware of? Sorry for the winge, I just feel let down this morning, maybe I am expecting too much! Anyway time will tell, and we'll see what happens on Wednesday.
LS, it can be disappointing when there aren't as many follies present as you were hoping. Sounds like you dr is giving you a chance to get some more follies going this month though. The opportunity to produce follies and eggs can vary from month to month even if you are a fertile woman with no problems. While they try to get as many as they can within safe bounds, it does also come down to quality as well.
One of our members also with male IF issues, didn't get too many eggs on her first cycle but fell pg straight away with one of the two embies they got. She is now in her 2nd tri!
The other reason your FS will have increased your stim to 450 is to help get you producing more estrogen to support the eggs you are growing. I have had this happen several times to help kick start things along.
Welcome all the newbies and wishing you all BFPs :hug:
xx
Hello to all you lovely ladies
Lucky Strike: Strange reaction from FS but I spose he is trained to know what he is doing hope all goes well for you and you get some good follicles.
Kahlan: Hope Big O comes for you soon.
BrideofChucky: Sorry to hear about stepson and wedding troubles. Try to concertrate on all the positives and Good Luck with FS appointment.
Naptune: AF please Visit
Marsha and Aleenta: Good luck in the :2ww: sending you both lots of :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Kate B: Hope IVF#2 goes well for you this time. Sorry to hear about work troubles it is like I always say when you do good at work they don't notice, Soon as you start taking days off for legit reasons they get up on their high horses. Hope it all works out for you.
AFM Af has finally gone, am on 175 of puregon and 50 of pregnyl so heres hoping, get some follicles growing, got a bt on monday to check my progress, hope to get some good news.
till next time Good luck and lots of BABY DUST sent to everyone.:)
Dusty thankyou for that. You made feel better. I guess it is what it is, and all I can hope is that the increased dosage will help things along.
WishingBaby - I guess the FS was expecting more also. He didnt seem worried though, he said this was a common thing, so maybe I am just worried over nothing.
Wishing you the best of luck with your follies, and BT next week!
Hey girls,
Lucky - my FS told me that he was aiming for between 6 - 12 eggs. I ended up with 6 eggs at EPU of which 4 were mature, fertilised, grown to day 5 - 1 transferred back and 3 frozen. He said it was a good result and that sometimes the quality of the eggs can be compromised if there are a lot of eggs. (I don't know if he was just saying that to make me feel better - I was expecting to get a lot more eggs).
But, in saying that it was also my first ever stim cycle and he did tell me that they can't always get the dose perfect first time.
I was on 150 of Puregon for 8 days when he bumped the does up to 200 for a further 6 days. I know it's not as big a jump as yours, but I still was worried that they would stop the cycle due to lack of stimulation or something.
My oestrogen levels were not fantastic and that was the main reason for increasing the dose rather than the size or number (I think). Once I got the increased dose my oestrogen levels quadrupled in 4 days.
I don?t think it?s anything to worry about. I reckon if you are still concerned talk to one of the nurses and ask them if they think it?s normal?
To everyone else ? I hope you are all going well at whatever stage you are currently at. I?m keeping to myself a bit at the moment. Nearing the end of my TWW and starting to get the inevitable jitters. Anyway, it?s out of my hands now.
Take Care.

hi all. not much happening for me 4 days since tfer so got a 7 day embryo now if it is still growing that is. i hope so.
am so busy . trying to make tww go faster
Hi everyone. Hope you're all having a good weekend.
Luckystrike, hoping the increased dosage does the trick for your follies.
Kate B, GL with your new cycle. I can't imagine what it must be like to work in a place where they appear to have little empathy. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to tell them to shove their job! The days at work must be a little tense when managers are around. Hope your increased dose works for you.
Wishing baby, best of luck for this cycle. There's a few of us really close together in this cycle, hopefully we'll all have some positive news to celebrate in a few weeks...
Nixon, :goodluck2: for your BT tomorrow.
JBM, glad to see you're keeping busy during your tww. The time drags by so the more distractions, the better! Your recent house move must be plenty of distraction... so much to do and organise.
AFM, I have my first BT on Tuesday and hopefully an u/s by the end of the week to check follies. Trying to eat some of the different foods the acupuncturist has recommended. I've been so moody, I don't know if it's the change in diet or the meds! For those who have been through ivf before, what is recommended to avoid OHSS? I'm really worried about it. I've read to drink lots of water - should I be doing that now or more so after epu?
Hi Kaydee...good luck with the first BT...that stage feels as though you are really getting somewhere. Water is most important after EPU, but water is always good!
JBM- hope you are hanging in there OK in the TWW. Fingers crossed for you!
Nixon- it's nerve wracking at the end of the TWW especially. Hopefully a BFP just around the corner for you!
wishingbaby- hope your follicles are growing well and you progress forward on track
luckystrike- sorry your body was not responding as you would hope...it's a tough thing, with so many ups and downs along the way, that those who have never been through it really don't/can't understand. It is emotional at all stages. I hope your follicles have responded to the extra dosage and you are feeling a bit better
Kate- good luck with your next cycle and very sorry about your work situation....i really understand! I have been finding work tough lately but of course, we need the money because of IVF!
Aleenta...good luck with the TWW! here's hoping.... :D
Bel- hug...hope you are doing OK. Where are things with your cycle now?
to everyone else I have missed, hello and hope things are going smoothly whatever stage you are at!
as for me....for the past 6 days I have had blood tests, tracking to see when I naturally ovulate...hopefully tomorrow will be the final test (getting a bit tired of rushing to blood place for the the first thing in the morning jab) as my hormones are fairly elevated now and it seems like my LH surge is starting. Then, five days after that will be our FET...so at this stage a transfer friday seems likely. It's all come around quickly and feels different to a stimulated cycle, as there is so much less lead in time etc. It's exciting though....please thaw little one, and then please stick!
Hey guys!
Hope you're enjoying the weekend. Sorry about my rant earlier in the week. Was very stressful. 2nd stepson ok so far but wants to "have a chat" tomorrow so a little apprehensive. But no matter what happens we are happy and that's all that matters! Thanks for all your well wishes though!
To those on the horrid :2ww: got my fingers toes n everything :crossfingers: for you!
Possums: :goodluck2: for your FET next week!
Kate: Sorry to hear about your work. I've worked for people like that too... it sucks. Hope they see the light soon. Perhaps drop the words "stress leave" nearby..maybe they might ease up on you
Kaydee: You can never go wrong with water. :goodluck2: witht he BT!
Smithy: THANK YOU! You hit the nail on the head. It's good to know someone else knows exactly how I'm feeling.
Sorry if i missed anyone... still getting the hang of this!
sending :pink-babydust: to everybody!
Nic good luck for your BT tomorrow, I hope the first cycle was a winner!
BrideofChucky - good luck with your step sons, last thing you want when you are going through IVF is added stress.
Possums - keeping my fingers crossed your you for a FET on Friday!. You never know, I might not be too far away if things start to get back on track!
Kaydee - I have to say I have been wondering about the water myself. I mentioned it to the nurses and she said it cant hurt to drink extra water, but its usually when you have OHSS that they get you to do it. Anyway I have been drinking about 3 lts, it makes me feel like I am doing something :)
Good luck with your BT next week, hope all is tracking perfectly.
JBM - The TWW is a drag. Wont be long now, and hopefully it will be a happy result in the end.
Nixon - thanks for the kind words. I am starting to feel better and am keeping positive for wednesday now.
Good luck with your BT today, keeping my finger crossed for a BFP!
AFM nothing much going, still taking syneral and gonal-f and just waiting for wednesday now.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
