I called the clininc to get my number again... now that I can take in a bit more information and all!
My level was 478 - pretty high hey! So they are not monitoring me, the nurse said if I want to I can get another BT next week to check it but they feel there is no need and next is just my 6week scan.
Coral thanks - I can't beleive it. I wonder when it will start to sink in. Its nice to see an old name and it looks like you are doing well from your signature. In fact you and I had very similar rides since TTC since Aug 08. Looks like we can ride the next wave together still.

Have not been around for a couple of months but logged in to see your wonderful news!!!
Congratulations, may you have a wonderfully happy & healthy 9 months
Trubabe, I'm so sorry she has to wait until next year to get started with fighting it. I'll keep her in my .
Afm, my transfer was cancelled this morning. 4 of the embies had started dying overnight. The other two hadn't grown in the last 2 days... In the embryologist's opinion they had zero chance of success. I guess AF will be here sometime next week (hopefully earlier rather than later)...
My plan for the start of next year is to pursue the endometriosis angle. When I asked my FS about it before, he said there was no point investigating it because it wouldn't change his treatment protocol (since we were already doing IVF). Now that we can't afford another IVF any time soon, I'd like to do something about reducing the excrutiating pain I get every AF. I don't think my FS does anything other than IUI/IVF (retired from other aspects), so I'm not sure if I should ask him for a referral to someone who'll do it or whether to go to a GP. If I go to a GP I can maybe get started earlier (FS doesn't return from holidays until 25th January).
Other than that, since the embryos arrested after day 3, I'm going to talk DH into starting acupuncture (or at least the supplements) to improve his sperm quality. His chromosomal analysis said they were fine, but maybe there's something they didn't test for that the eastern medicine will treat? And I've told him that once we get past New Years we're both going to be going on a diet. Until now he's refused to reduce his soft drink consumption, but I'm not putting up with it any more.
Sorry for the long post, I just feel better for having a plan and I'd love any feedback you may have or suggestions for improvement.
Juniper I am sorry to hear your update. That must be devastating having embys not make it. I haven't followed your journey close enough so not sure if u have had much of a break or what your 'issues' are. If you have a good GP you are comfy with I would be going to them and asking what Gyne to go see. Or perhaps you can call the clinic?? They may have other FS's that do gynea stuff as well and if it is all related then another gyne who has some IVF knowledge would be good.
I feel for you, I am sure you feel like you are banging your head against the wall. Don't loose hope - but let yourself be sad when you should be and rest when you need to. Its a bloody exhausting ride.
Sorry your cycle was cancelled. It's interesting that all the doctors have a different way of doing it. My FS found an ovarian cyst on my pre IVF U/S and was adament that I have the lap and hyst before commencing IVF. He didn't want to do IVF until I'd had the endo removed. I still seem to be a low egg producer, only 3 eggs each cycle. The second cycle we did ICSI and got two blasties and a BFP. I don't really understand why the FS wanted to do ICSI, but he recommended it and we went with it. On the first cycle of the 3 eggs only 1 fertilised normally... so I guess they they wanted to make sure healthy swimmers got in, hence the ICSI. I had DH on Menevit for a few months prior to IVF (which is the male equivalent to Elevit). Don't know if it did anything...but we'll try anything, right? Good luck for next year.
BFP and 478 is the count!
well done hun and what great numbers

I guess AF will be here sometime next week (hopefully earlier rather than later)...
