hello ladies!

Gosh, it doesn't pay to not log in for a couple of days, there are so many posts to catch up on!

sonyalouise - glad you're off the pill now. Hopefully you'll start feeling better soon, and don't suffer too much from the injections. I know I didn't really have any side effects from the drugs (a couple of headaches) though I DID NOT like the trigger drug at all - I think i'm still feeling the effects 10 days later

Seph - will for you that these little embies stick. How cool would twins be?! After all this time you definitely deserve something like this. You must be made of strong stuff indeed to surive a year like that and still be smiling.

airline - i'm with you girl! I'm much calmer if I have the plan written down and feel like i'm in control, even though it's still likely to change at times and i'm not actually in control of anything. But I definitely find it helps me. Enjoy crossing all the days off!

tantee - all the best for tomorrow. I've had the 11th hour phonecall and I know how awful it is, so here's hoping you won't have to experience that. They must be optimistic still if they're going ahead, so that's a good sign and something to hold on to. Sending some sticky vibes your way.

mitf - glad you had your appointment with FS, even if it does sound like a bit of a waste of time...! Fingers crossed AF arrives at a time convient for your ET with your FS. How does she usually act after a stim cycle? Have you had one before? Apologies for my bad memory. And enjoy the last weekend of drinking - I know I certainly did last weekend, though I may have over indulged just a little...

Loops - have you POAS yet?!?!

Krikkit - CONGRATULATIONS I love hearing news like that. Makes me think this IVF caper might actually work after all!!

Onja - with your thaw cycle. I haven't had one but hopefully it does the trick for you.

Nix - I know what you mean about the money side of things. We're looking at having to do another stim cycle since we got nothing out of our first one. So there's another $6500 gone just like that. I don't want to whinge about it too much, we'll pay it gladly if it works, I just want some kind of reassurance it's going to be okay and that I won't have to keep paying for stim cycle after stim cycle. Okay, will shut up now! Are you up to the 'non-drinking' part of your cycle yet?!

Juniper - good luck with the acupuncture. I've only just started, but i'm certainly hopeful about all the literature out there, so here's hoping you reap all the benefits for your next cycle.

Okay, think i've caught up with everyone now, if not, sorry

AFM - we have our appointment with FS tomorrow afternoon to discuss our cancelled ET last week and options for moving forward. I'm very much hoping he: a) has answers for us on what happened to our embies, along side with 'things we've learnt from the failed cycled', and b) says I can go straight into another stim cycle (AF is due any time from Saturday). Has anyone else done back to back stim cycles? Is that generally okay or usually frowned upon? This must be the first time in my life i'm glad for a short cycle!!

Anyway my lovelies, I must be off. DH has just arrived home and is a little cross dinner isn't ready. Well, I just couldn't be bothered cooking and had a sandwich instead. to him.

bye for now,
lise xx
