Trubabe - Sorry to hear about your mum. No doubt the last thing your family needs just before Xmas.
Terry - Thanks for your tips about FET. I will definitely go on a brisk walk beforehand. I have heard about acupuncture helping women to conceive. I can't see your signature while composing a message; are you from Brisbane, by any chance? Because I've never had acupuncture and I don't know who is a good person to see ...
Juniper - Thanks for your offer to join me on the picket. I think QFG should organise a picket - we'd get hundreds of people!

Hi Girls, Still lurking after our BFP to see how you are all doing. Brunette alsoDO NAT HAVE A BATH. Personally I bath over showering but it was recommended to me not to bathe as it increases chances of infection and also the constant heat increases the bodies temperature. Also when you do shower keep the temp down. I am not sure how valid the info is but this is the first time I did it and we got BFP. Obviously not the only thing to consider but evrything counts in this game.
Also Trubabe really sorry about your mum. And it couldn't have come at a worse time. I used to be in the Ambulance service and have seen both outcomes. The best advice I can give you all is to be positive and take each day as it comes. It really is a horrible thing to be going through and remember that there is a so many advances in technology and treatments that a cure is only around the corner, and hopefu;ly for your mum they have found it nice and early.
As for the rest of you lovely ladies, I hope you are all doing well in your cycles and that your BFP will also come soon. Take Care. xxx

trubabe,
Brunette, I've been doing acu since late July in preparation for this cycle. I go to East West Fertility at Ashgrove, but there are a few other equally good options around. The most important thing is to see someone specialising in fertility. If you have a look through the boards there's a few posts about Brisbane acupuncturists.

Juniper and Rob -Thanks for your tips. I will have a look for the thread on acupuncture. I live in east Brissy, so Ashgrove is a little far for me to go if it is to be a regular thing. Interesting about baths spreading infection; I suppose because the heat is conducive to bacteria ... I actually very rarely have a bath; ours is upstairs and our bedroom/living downstairs so I'm probably just being lazyAnd I also don't like hot showers; just tepid for me.
AFM, I saw my FS this morning to talk about why my cycle didn't work. He really doesn't know, except to say that even though our embies were good quality and looked good to the scientist, sometimes they're just not right on the inside. He said that the chances of falling on frozen cycles are not as good as stim cycles! Which is a shame for us because we have 11 snowbubs! We will probably do our 1st-ever frozen transfer in February as we will be away on holidays in January. FX.

Brunette just remember, we just got our BFP on an FET. We had the best quality embryo's and we had 2 x fresh cycles nothing. 1st FEt and we are pregnant. So be positive. A frozen embryo can be just as good as fresh.Juniper and Rob -Thanks for your tips. I will have a look for the thread on acupuncture.
