    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?

    Aleenta ... How did your scan go sweety ???

    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.

    Dutchie, I am so sorry hun. It is really such a let down when cycles go pair shaped, especially before transfer. Take whatever time you need and the lovely BB LTers will be here for you when you feel up to it.

    Ella's mum, if you asked your question in the general LTTTC/AC thread area you may get some of the past LTer ladies able to help you out.

    Hi Ladies

    havent been on for a while.

    WEll ive found out why i havent got a BFP for 2 yrs. Last Fri i had a lap and turns out ive got severe endo - the pics look gross. I have it on the ovaries etc and even my stomach. Gotta go back to FS on Mon to see what to do - either operation to remove it or a course of injections.

    Any1 else in same situation? if so what did you end up doing?

    I know we ALL will have our dreams come true this year! I can feel it.

    Good luck all!

    G'day guys time to jump threads have been in the TTC 12+ for a while now and unfortunately we will no longer be unassisted in our attempts for our bundle of joy. DH and I have been trying to conceive for almost two years this will be our first and next thursday we are off to the specilaist to start IUI this AF that has just hit was a devestating blow as it was our last unassited try and once again failed. As dusty said to me it's hard mentally to make the jump but am confident that we will get our BFP soon just keeping up the hope is getting harder every time AF rears it's ugly head.
    BTW Heya Loops how's things with you?

    Hi Tania, that sounds much better, looks like you should have at least the three, keeping fingers crossed for you.

    My FS just called and we've decided to wait another month, instead I'll be starting with DHEA. Feeling reliefed and planning to do lots of nice and relaxing things in between.

    Hi Girls,

    Sara - glad all has worked out for you and you have a plan. Take time to relax and prepare for next month. Good luck

    Toby - I was in hospital for 7 days the 1st time round, that was due to getting pneamonia! Because they didnt do much inside, I was back at work 3.5 weeks after coming out of hospital. They told me recovery was 4 weeks. The 2nd op was alot more involved and I struggled. Again in hospital for 7 days and I was back at work 4.5 weeks after coming out of hospital. They told me recovery was 6 weeks all up. The cut was bigger 2nd time round since they had to do more inside. Im lucky that Ive been at my work for 19yrs (yes a LONGGGGG time, lol) so I had lots of sick leave owing to me. That makes it hard if work dont allow you to have apps during the day cause as you said, you cant tell the FS what hours to work!!!! Im glad you have some answers now that explains why you are having pain. I was shattered to find out how extensive my endo was but Im now relieved that Ive had the op and am painfree for the time being and that I now have a better chance of getting pg. I hope it all works out for you.

    Emmapenguin - Hello and WELCOME! Good luck and hope AF arrives soon so you can start injections.

    Saph - hope your appointment goes well on Thursday. Writing a list of questions is a great idea. That way you dont go home and say, oops I forgot to ask that question!

    to Loops, smithy and everyone else

    AFM, just waiting on a call from the clinic to advise me of the trigger time for tonight and time of EPU. Im not holding onto much hope since I have 2 maybe 3 eggs. The quality of my previous eggs werent good so feeling pretty down especially since I was on such a high doseage this cycle. Can anyone tell me how you can improve egg quality? Im been doing acu since early Jan and been having the chinese herbs too. Was hoping that would improve things but its only been worse.

    Thanks again,

    Tania
