Morning all,

sonyalouise - looks like we'll be starting injections on the same day I did them in the evening last time but am thinking about morning this time round - what do most people do? Has anyone found it makes a difference?

coral - thanks for the yoga tips. I do go to the gym several times a week but i'm really starting to stress out about all sorts of things and I'd like to find something to keep me a bit more zen. I'm definitely going to look into it. And yay for you for starting Lucrin on Friday - I know I certainly prefer it when i'm actively doing injections or something rather than just waiting. Feels like i'm doing something!

mel - welcome back! with this cycle and bring on 1 October!

just a quick update - AF arrived yesterday and boy is she making her presence known...!! Anyway, I start Gonal-F again tomorrow and first US and BT scheduled for Monday morning.

I've also made an appointment with one of the MIVF counsellors (though can't get in till next week!!). I've got heaps going on at work - my organisation merged with another and my job ceases to exist as of February so I need to find another one. DH and I are living in Melbourne ATM but we came from Canberra and crazy as it sounds, we want to go back. So DH is looking for jobs now but I'm trying to focus on IVF, and I don't know what I want to apply for and am having a huge meltdown about what i'm qualified for and how we're going to get back and what i'm going to do, and so on and so on. I honestly don't know how you lovely ladies manage to sound so sane, especially those of you who have been on the IVF roller coaster for some time. I'm just starting my second cycle and am falling apart!

Anyway, enough blabbing. I've got an appointment with my GP this morning and i'm going to ask for some 'stress leave', plus talk to my work about reduced hours. Getting a BFP is definitely my priority and I want to ensure i'm doing everything possible to ensure that happens, including staying as stress free as possible.

Thanks ladies for listening to my outpour. As much as I love DH, and he has been brilliant throughout all of this, sometimes a male just can't quite understand.

to all, and have a happy Tuesday.
