Hi everyone,

I've not been around for a couple of days and there's so much to catch up on.

Megan - I hope it went well today and you got the result you deserve - and lots of

SS - How did your appointment go? I hope it was positive and you had all of your questions answered. Don't feel bad about posting bad news, that's what we're all here for, to support each other through the good times and the bad. God knows, we're all on a roller coaster ride that we didn't sign up for! My DH also has a morphology and low count problem, we've been through 2 full stimulated cycles of IVF using ICSI, and are going to start our next one at the end of March - hopefully (we're waiting on results (26th March) of genetic testing - I know it is shattering when you first get the news, none of us expect something to be wrong, I'm sure that we all go into TTC thinking that we'll have a winter baby, or a summer baby, think about the various birthday parties we'll throw for our kids and day dream about family life. It absolutely crashes into our worlds when we find this isn't the case. It is a lot of money, but you do get a lot of it back on Medicare. Hang on in there, it's scary, but you're definately in the right place for understanding and support.

BW, Holly, Keen - Our FS also only likes to transfer 1 embie, however, as we've had 5 failed transfers, and 2 cancelled cycles, he has now said that if we want to transfer 2, he'll agree to it. If you want 2 transferred, it's your body, and you should push for it. However, we've decided to stick with transferring one because there is a small risk of the embie dividing into twins anyway, and also apparently the pregnancy is harder on the mum if she's carrying twins and there's a higher risk of miscarriage. Because I have Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism I already have a higher risk of miscarriage, so we decided not to make the odds any worse.

BW - I'm glad you're feeling better. Enjoy the weekend!

Synarel - I asked to change to lucrin injections for my 2nd full stim cycle as I didn't like the synarel taste, or the feeling of it sliding down the back of my throat. The injections aren't too bad, they only hurt a couple of times, I found it suited me better than the spray.

Keen - GL, keep up that positive energy!

Jo - oh no, the blasted AF. She is a nightmare. Try and hang on in there until your BT, I know it is easier said than done, but you never know. It's happened to me twice when I didn't get AF but my BT was stil -ve, so even the spotting isn't a clear indication of what's really happening.

Willow - I'm so glad that you got into the OB that you wanted. I've heard of ridiculous waiting lists and not being able to get an appt, so that's great news! It really is happening!

Sushee - I read your story, it's amazing! So inspirational! The whole dealing with family is so hard. I don't think they'll ever understand.

Loula - I am so jealous! Puppies! Yay! I love animals but we live in a unit so we can't have any. It's really hard for me as I was brought up in the country and we had dogs and a cat, and all sorts of slimey creatures in the pond! DH is allergic to cats, I am desperate for one! A little burmese would be excellent. Anyway, DH has promised that if we ever move into a house, he'll try treatment to over come his allergy. He's fine with dogs though.

I am so sorry for missing others out - I can't keep up! I'm sending to everyone in the TWW

Finally - a lunch sounds fantastic. I would love to get together with everyone.

Take care, and I'll be back at the weekend to check on any new posts so I don't get left behind again!
