Peta - Good on you I am sure you will feel more empowered by the change
Paula: Welcome and Gl with the round ask away with all the questions
las: Pill side effects are fun but they do take you back

Me:
Work have really insulted me see the blog for more detail will be leaving now because they have put me on a 30 day trial and say that my work is jibberish. I have never been so insulted in my life! Considering I am a skilled recuiter and business coach that is being headhunted it is funny to think that I may be sacked from what was meant to be a less stressful BDM role.

Ohh well lap soon with a week off hopefully I can start new role after that. And DH and I will have a romantic weekend this weekend to get over it

Linda,
I am so sorry about work as if we dont have enough stress in our lives without work making it worse. hope your romantic weekend away is just what you need to relax.

Well am positive that after the scan tomorrow will get the go ahead to trigger.So hears hoping for a romantic weekend for us. It makes it all so mechanical. But thats life. TMI i am sure.

Really should be cleaning the house, finding an excuse to get out of it.

Hi All,

Well I'm officially into my next cycle now. Started my list of drugs again on Tues and have my US scheduled for 17th March. Feeling ok but just a nasty headache which I get from the HRT tabs and this month I think it is being made worse by the oestrogen patch I am wearing too.

A little bit nervous though about the prospect of facing a cancelled cycle. We only have 2 little embies left frozen and last cycle it took 4 embies to be thawed to get our 1 little 1 succesfully to balstie. Fingers crossed though, because with the emotional rollercoaster of last cycle I really couldn't face a cancelled cycle. I'm staying really positive and trying not to let my emotions overcome me. Was so happy when I received the phone call that my HCG ws below 3 and I could start again.

Sorry for no personals. I'm away for work at the moment and it's almost midnight. Just thought I'd pop in and read where everyone is up to.

Sending you all a big hug
Take care
Bel

Hello everyone,
Just letting you all know I got a BFN today.
Oh well I had my cries and all that stuff but now I'm just gald that I can do i8t all again in April, We still have 3 frozen embies so hopefully I can get one to implant.
I have a 21 day app booked with my gyno/ FS on the 28th of march so looking fowrad to that and with this one at least I now know what other things I can do to maybe help the embie stick.
I will abide by every rule and more for the next one!!
Practice make perfect right

Anyway I will keep posting and seeing how you all are doing thanks for being there for my first ever cycle.

Hi everyone

Sandi - I am so sorry - I have been patiently waiting for the last hour or so to find our your BT result - keep your chin up and best of luck for your next appt on the
28th

Bel - glad to hear that your levels have gone down enough for you to start on another cycle - stay positive and I wish for the best thawed embies for you

Me - just another day waiting and relaxing in the TWW - I still have 11 days to go

***Paula*** · March 6th, 2008, 05:59 PM

So sorry to hear about your news Sandi. Best of luck with your next cycle. And as you said practice makes perfect.

Linda - I'm so sorry about work, what a crappy thing to say to somone....hope the next job proves to be a lot better, enjoy your time away!

Bec - thanks for the explanation! Sounds a bit nasty having to go to pick up so early in the peace

I've heard of IVM but never known anyone doing it, there sure seem to be some benefits in regards to much shorter cycle time.

Sandi - sorry for your result today...

Bel - good luck for this cycle, it's exciting to get that good news to start moving forward again!

Kyles - hope the next 11 days fly by for you

Hi Girls
I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice. I'm 25 and have PCOS apparently but no raised hormone levels, without drugs i only cycle maybe once a year. My fiancee is 31 and has poor sperm function < 3 million of which 65% are deformed and we have been trying to get pregnant for nearly 2 years. When i went to Pivet they pretty much gave us no choice but full IVF. My fiancee has got someone pregnant so i dont know if i should see just a fertility specialist first to maybe see if clomid helps. Would love people to talk to about these things as no one i know really understands.

Thanks
Bee83

Kyles: Hoping that the next 11 days bring by a BFP
Bel: I have everything crossed for you for this cycle
Saph: I hope the house cleaning is not too boring we hired a house cleaner because I escaped it with work etc

Well another interview tommorrow

**~BecD~** · March 6th, 2008, 08:06 PM

Paula - That's fantastic news about hubbies swimmers - good luck with iui!

Sandi - Sorry to hear your result hon, BFNs are really hard (((HUGS)))

TL - Thats crap about the job! My work has gone to sh*t as well lately, am working back until 7pm tonight just so Im not that far behind. Grrrr at crappy employers! Have fun on your romantic weekend away - sounds perfect

Bel - Good luck with the new cycle. Hopefully you feel a little better soon, I find that HRT knocks me around too. I will keep everything crossed for you.

salt princess - I was just thinking, is your FS at FSWA Mike Aitken? For some reason I thought he might be... He will be doing my EPU but I haven't met him before. What's he like?
