    Hello to everyone and sending lots of love and positive thoughts to all who are currently cycling. And to those who are in between cycles hope you are managing to stay sane while passing the time.

    I have only been popping in every few days or so as I was getting a little too BB obsessed. Big congrats to all that have received a BFP this month - i think we are up to about 4 this month if i am correct.

    AFM - well after what felt like the longest 2 weeks of my life i finally had my day 14 scan this morning and everything seem to be fine so i am all booked in for transfer on Friday. Feeling very excited and confident about this transfer - not sure why just a feeling i have. We are definately going to transfer 2 this time which is exciting as well.
    Anyone else on track to have a transfer around this time???

    Hi Molly girl,

    Umm in answer to your question possibky. No idea. I am doing an FET this month and having daily bloods starting Monday. So quite possibly I thik that would be 2 weeks since my day 1 of AF.

    But as I am new and only had 1 stim cycle and now this to be honest I have no idea.

    Hey Aleenta how is everything going hun .. I hope we are in 2ww together again and then double BFP's aha ...

    AFM where in SA are you I am up river about 1 1/2 from Adelaide.

    Take care everyone and bring on those BFP's

    B2B - I just had my first experience with IUI and AF came and I had the exact same thing - i never used to get heavy flow or any pains nor did i have AF for long and after the hormones I have this time had all of it - long, heavy and a lot of pain. It sucks when you get a BFN after doing everything but I am positive one day soon we will get our BFP!
    Take care

    to everyone

    Duthcie - GL for EPU tomorrow - hope all goes well and you get lots of lovely eggies and rest up and nurture yourself

    Mollygirl - hoping we are close in cycle times and hanging out in 2WW

    Rob - fingers crossed and hoping we are in 2WW again together

    Hiya Sara

    Hugs to Loops - it is like the double whammy - BFN and bad AF action pains and stuff - look after yourself

    AFM - well waiting to have second scan on Tues after having increased Gonal F dose - hoping and praying my lining is getting thick and fluffy and inviting!!! Also have a pimple the size of a small country on my chin - revolting and massive, it's gotta be the drugs. I never had such a bad pimple even in my teens....Oh the joys of IVF!

    Hugs to all

    Good afternoon girls,

    Hope you all had a good weekend

    Dutchie - hope your EPU went well today and you have lots of eggies ready for ET on Wednesday.

    Aleenta - good luck with your scan tomorrow. Hope your lining is nice and thick, ready to go.

    Mollygirl - good luck for Friday and Its been a great month for BFP's so lets hope it continues

    to Sara, Rob, baby2bee and everyone else.

    AFM, AF arrived yesterday so I started syranel this morning and start injecting tomorrow. Have a scan booked for the 23rd so I have a better result than last cycle. Im feeling anxious as my FS has put my doseage up to 450iui.

    Take care,
    Tania

    Miss Magpie ... 450 !!! Wow .. Lots of lovely fat follies with that dose I presume

    Ella's - I met a lady yesterday who went through Monash Richmond, and was very happy with them, so I am sure the satelite clinic will be great as well, good luck with your cycle

    Evening everyone,

    Well I round out today we are going natural, so it's all up to me, no drugs, just me and little "George" Sheesh the pressure. I guess the positive is that I will found out where my body is at.

    I do have a question though, should hubby and I still DTD as per normal or abstain totally. What has anybody else done. To my knowledge we are putting 1 back so what's the chance of twins?

    Take care and bring on those BFP's xox to everyone.

    Hi Girls

    Just dropping in to wish you all luck with your cycles, I know BFP's canl' be too far away for you all.

    And a special hello to my fellow birthday girl Miss M . I hope that this next cycle does the trick for you and that you get your belated birthday BFP.

    Be strong girls, I'm thinking of you all.

    Hi to all the lovely ladies in here

    Again no personals just popping in to check up on things and spread some and . Wishing all the ladies in here whether your cycling or not!

    AFM- well i had my epu on monday and it did not go at all like I expected, I think we really bombed out actually. I only got a few eggs with majority being immature and the one or two that were mature were of bad quality (last cycle we transferred a grade 1 embryo). So the nurses called on tues to tell me that they didnt even do icsi on my eggs and to my amazing disappointment had nothing to transfer on wed . Im so so sad as I should be pupo right now over in the TWW thread sharing the experience with everyone. So Im just taking the time to grieve and will regroup and formulate a new plan with the fs at my appt on fri. I still have some positives to focus on its just hard sometimes to not lose a bit of hope with each disappointment. I havent been on since Monday I think I just needed to step back fom BB for a lil bit and not be SO focused on TTC but I do still like to check in and just read sometimes, an announcement of a BFP always brings a smile to my face. I hope to start cycling again asap so Ill be back on again for sure (couldnt keep me away) but I think some time out might be just what I need. I wanted to thank you all heaps for your support and encouragement, it really helps tremendously.
