    Hi Redlady,

    Welcome & hope you find this site full of fantastic information. Better than what you get from FS & nurses at times!!..the boards saved my sanity. You really DO have to take control during your cycle and sometimes not rely on the nurses to get back to you etc - my nurses have forgotten a number of things as they are so busy but once your know the routine you will be fine.

    Good luck for your scan this Fridays. I remember how exciting the 1st cycle is (ok..so by my signature you can tell I'm not so excited but I still feel a positive anticipation when I start.

    I think its great you have 2 clinics - one waiting & one you go with. I have also 2 - sort of happened when my original FS wasn't available unfortunately after a failed cycle and I really needed to talk to a FS so saw another clinic. I have sent off my police checks etc to both so atleast if I need be I have the option of going back to the first one.

    Not sure if this happens to you but some advice I wish I knew before my first cycle - don't eat too much..hehe!!..truly the stims gave me a huugggee appetite and I put on 4kg in less than 3 weeks, no amount of exercise got it off. My metabolism just was asleep!...and 6 weeks after the fluid went down I was still 4kg up...so mine wasn't water. The next cycle added another 3kg so I've now taken it easy since i'm up to cycle 5

    Goodluck with your cycle - hope you get some good embies ready for a xmas romp

    Hey ladies,

    Charlotte i totally agree with you about the wieght, ive had two full stim cycles and each one puts on more, its like ive had two kids!! I get around 40-50 follies each time too so my tummy stretches to fit in the ovaries and i look like ive been pg. I even had one huge stretch mark its so not fair!!! I eat well and exercise daily and the pudge just stays!

    Redladie, GL with your cycle. The clinic with no wait, do you have to know your doner?

    xx
