Hello Ladies.

It's been a while since my last post. I have been reading with interest every few days just to see how everyone is going. Now let's hope I have these personals right - apologies if I make a mistake or two..

Loops: Make the most of your break and we look forward to your return soon.

Persphone & Tantee: GL with the TWW - to both of you!!

krikkit & Cass180: Congrats on the BFP! Hoping you both have a happy and healthy 9 months! As I am just starting out on this IVF journey, it's great to hear about your wonderful news and it gives me some hope about AC. I say keep the BFP's coming!

Welcome to all the newbies: allyg, colour56 & emstar!

Lise: Hope AF shows up quickly so you can start your next cycle!

Coral73: GL with the lucrin starting Friday - I hear it's better than taking the synarel - less side effects!

Emerald star: Nope not with IVF Australia - I think I am the only one here from City Fertility in Melbourne. I am paying $6500 for IVF treatment and this does not include FS fee.

mummawannabe: Wish I could answer your question but I am so new to this IVF process that I have a million questions myself. Hope your FS helped you out here!

Sonjalouise: Like you I also google everything! The internet is such a wealth of information. I almost bought a book about IVF from the bookstore, only to return it to the shelf because I thought I could get the same information from the internet.
It's interesting how our cycles are so different now given we started the pill at the same time. GL with your US on the 23rd of Sept...mine is not until the 1st of Oct.

Nix: Hope you are well!

Airline, mitf, Onja: GL with your cycles!

and a big hello to everyone else who I have missed!

AFM: Not really too much to report at this stage. Started synarel last Friday and still taking the pill. I am so loving the taste of synarel as it trickles down my throat. I have my first US on the 1st of Oct which I am guessing will kick off the FSH. The nurse has set my dosage at 100. Seems really low? I guess it might be just a precautionary dosage to see what effect it has on my body. So far no major side effects from the synarel - except for the occassional mood swing. I had to have a blood test a week ago and would you believe I finally found out my blood type after 35 years!

I enjoy reading everyone's posts. It is comforting to read similar stories and experiences to my own - like marking off the calender to bring you one day closer to that next milestone. I have two calenders which I mark off hoping that time goes quicker!!

Anyway enough already - my DH is making fun of my "essay"!
