Bee - I would suggest a 2nd opinon if you are no comfortable but it sounds like they are offering you the option that would be most effective this must be a difficult time

Morning Ladies...

Are we all happy it's Friday..???? I sooo am..

Sandi - I am so sorry about your BFN...Believe me when I say most of us here know how you feel...

Linda - I can't believe your work situation. One minute they are promoting you and telling you that you're a star and the next minute this?? I think you will be better off out of there asap...I know you'll fall on your clever feet pretty quick smart..Goodluck with it.

Bee - I second Linda and say go for a 2nd opinion so your are satisfied. Ask as many questions as you need to. Make a list before you go - because if you're anything like me...you forget half of them when you are in there..Goodluck.

Paula - I am sure the DH is a happy little vegemite. These men make me laugh...how their little swimmers perform is always sooooo important to them.

Kyles - hope you're coping ok in the TWW. I am usually fine for the first week but by day 8 start climbing the walls..I hope you stay more relaxed then i do..

Saph - OMG I was just reading the last batch of posts and didnt realise you were on Puregon for 23 days!!!! YUK!!! you poor thing. I think I have it bad when I am usually on for around 14 days... everything goes well for you and you trigger today...Goodluck sweet..

Bel - my little saviour....fingers crossed the headaches are worth it all!!!!

Me - nothing exciting...just killing time over the next 3 weeks while I have all these tests.

Have a great weekend chick-a-dees...

Hi Bee, I too have PCOS with no raised Male hormones. I tried Clomid for 3 cycles and it did not even make me ovulate. I am now on OI which involves taking Puregon (injectable FSH) at the beginning of my cycle, Purgeon 5000iu as the LH surge to make me ovulate and then some booster shots of Puregon 1500iu after ovulation. Good news is that it has been making me ovulate regularly. Bad news is that as of yet I have not fallen pregnant (although will know tomorrow if this cycle has worked or not).

My FS is certainly of the opinion for us that we should give this a try before moving to IVF. However, I would think that the Doc's would know your full medical situation and would advise you based on that. There may be something that is different in your situation to mine. But, it is always valuable to ask for a second opinion if you are unsure.

Bee - Definately get another opinion. When it doesnt feel right, you should follow your gut instinct. I have been to two FS now and both had different opinons. Good luck with your journey and i hope it all works out for you soon.

Lulu - Yes men are very funny when it comes to their little men. My DH must have been so happy to hear that all was good with them that he didnt even think to ask anymore questions... Silly duffer!

Janie - Good luck with your results tomorrow.

Well DH and i had a good chat last night about the results and what the next few weeks involves for us and we are very excited! We know that there is always the posibility that it may not work first time but to be honest we arent even thinking about that. We are feeling so positive that it will happen and soon that we feel like doing a little dance with excitement Hopefully all the positive vibes bring positive things our way.

Well i too am extremely glad its FRIDAY Bring on the weekend!

WOW! got loads to catch-up on..... sorry been a bit busy last couple of days.... you know there is no way I'd be able to cover everything and everyone but know that for each of you out there I have the warmest regard and I only ever equally wish you the best of everything to arrive at your most desired end - a bubba in your arms!!
TL - hope your arm is better () and that your work situation improves - sorry was it the old or new job that were the unappreciative turds? I think it's your old one - just as well you're moving on! I wanted to let you know that the Spirit Babies book arrived the other day and will start reading it shortly - gives me something to do while I am in this horrible holding pattern.
Paula - welcome welcome - I know I am going to be hopelessly confused in this thread cos I am a Paula too and as our name is not so common the only time I usually see it is when it relates to me. Oh well! It will draw me straight away to your posts so that I can follow your journey
saph - GL hun - mechanical or romantic - as long as there is love between you and a common wish for a bub - doesn't matter how you get there
bel, kyles, salt P -
sandi - so so sorry hun re AF - here's to better luck next time - it's just got to happen!!!
bee - hi hun - can't help u directly but wishing you all the best
minnie lulu - ye olde waiting game - sigh!! I know it's a drag but at least you've got some proactive things being done in the meantime. You have a good weekend too!!
becD, janie71, las, BB, pookie, scooby, Peta and anyone else I am sure to have missed (sorry!!) - hi and hugs!

me - in a nut shell - I am just waiting!!! GRR the waiting! Eastern medicine-wise - Waiting for my acupuncturist to say my kidney energy channels are unblocked so that we can TTC. Western medicine-wise - waiting for my ob appt (post lap surgery) in mid April to get the go-ahead to start TTC (after he initially told me just to wait til AF arrived!) - I seriously don't know if he is being over-cautious or if this is standard procedure. So I'm waiting.... I know I'm not in the league of where most of you ladies are at with IVF, various treatments etc etc (who knows may be there sometime soon?) but I so understand the frustration from a time perspective and forever having to do the WAITING! WAITING!
Take care of yourselves ladies - and enjoy your Friday and weekend!
