Hi everyone

Welcome Trueblue.
Trubabe - hand in there for the blood tests and see what they say.

Hope everyone ate lots and chilled out over the Christmas period.
AFM, feeling ok. Bit bloated and slightly sore ovaries, so chilling out till EPU tomorrow. DH has been an angel walking dogs and making dinner and generally doing everything around the house so I don't

Hope you are all doing well!

trubabe, all those signs sound so good. I hope Wednesday's test gives you a different result.

trueblue, clomid can mess with your temps and can also alter your O day. FX it all becomes clear soon.

Hi lovely ladies, I have been away from the computer for a few days, staying with the folks for Xmas.

Babytruj, that is an amazing number of follicles! Wow. GL this cycle.

Trubabe, GL for your BT this Wednesday. You are having some really positive signs, so FX!

Trueblue, Sorry I am terrible at monitoring my basal temps. I am sure other ladies will be able to give you an answer. I think maybe there is supposed to be a slight dip post ovulation, and then if you're pregnant it is supposed to remain elevated at 37 or above ...

AFM, Just taking it easy and catching up with family. Drinking far too much. My DH made up some yummy ****tails over the hols. I suppose that's one upside of not being UTD over the Xmas season

thanks guys yeah temp shot to 38 for two days (when the o pains started)then dropped back to 34 and hasn't gone up again. I guess I'll just have to play the waiting game only 5 more days till I can test
Brunette: yeah you gotta think of positive in times when all it feels like is negatives

[trubabe]

sorry trueblue im terrible at remembering to chart temps so cant really help

AFM-AF still not here. im still feeling sick too

[trueblue]

Hey guys

Went for EPU today. 38 eggs!! That is a lot! Feeling a bit sore and swollen still. There is a big chace that we can't transfer due to OHS!! But we'll wait for blood tests to come back tomorrow, and see what the FS says. Will also hear from embryologist tomorrow to see how the embryo's are doing and how the fertilisation is going. They are doing ICSI, which is standard here in Singapore. So we just need to see how they are all doing tomorrow. Can't wait!
I'm not too upset if I can't do transfer, as it mean's I'll probably be able to make my sister in laws wedding in September in South Africa. If I can't transfer I have to wait 3 months till ovaries settle. If we transfer now, I probably won't be able to travel in September, so all grey clouds have a silver lining.
Anyone else had OHS?? Any tips/advise?? I have been told to eat 8 egg whites a day!! Shew!!
Dinner is ready, so better go eat!
