    Hi girls,

    Rob: really sorry to hear that, hopefully your FS appointment will show you a way forward.

    Jaxi: did you do a downregulated cycle? I had a similar experience with my first cycle which was down regulated, the second cycle was an antagonist and had a much better result.

    Mr Magpie: four eggs that's an excellent result, well done! Will keep fingers crossed, goodluck for ET tomorrow.

    Toby: I agree with everything the other ladies said, stay positive, you have a very good chance for a good result.

    Saph: Sorry you had a bad experience. Sounds like your FS has a lot to learn in terms of bedside manner.

    JBM & Aleenta

    A great weekend for everyone.

    Thank you ladies for the positive comments and support!

    Gee a lot of us in here are not having a great time with it all are we? We must stay positive. I believe we ALL will get there its just some hurdles in the way at the moment. Thinking positive thourghts for all who are going thru a rough patch at the moment.

    Miss Magpie - hope it went well for you this morning.

    Trueblue - I see Dr T. He is very positive in his outlook - which helps me come to terms with it all. I hope you feel comfortable with him.

    WOW, theres so much happening in here, having trouble keeping up now as i just don't get very often time to get on here. ahhhhh

    smithy:here we come march FET, sending you some good luck vibes.
    kahlan: hi, hope all is well with you
    jaxi: hope you get some answers soon and the new drugs work for you. got fingers crossed.
    loops: not long to go til IUI cycle
    toby: good results, hope all goes to plan and you get a BFP. . yeah it's only about 35% for healthy woman and man for natural conception.

    saph: sounds a bit drastic , drugs and a diet. but at least your new fs has some answers as to why you've had trouble in the past. hope you get some answers and praying for it to work out for you soon. sending you some good luck vibes.

    trueblue: fs? what. hope it works out for you. good luck

    tania: 4 eggs is good, good luck with ET. see you in TWW soon

    rob:so sorry, next cycle is the one for you. know how you are feeling, what does your dh say about it all ? my dh says i get one chance, one cycle and thats it. bit scared about it as only one bubsicle left in freezer

    sara: 3rd time lucky.

    afm: well looks like a pos ov test sunday as got the faintest of 2nd line today.
    that means ov on mon & FET on wed now, a bit of a pain as i already booked my acupuncture on tue, and i've got school all day on wed. arrggg.

    but i'm going to see if i can do an acupuncture or shiatsu massage on wed and just take a bit longer lunch, i'm ahead with work anyway so shouldn't matter.

    i am excited, scared, aprehensive, worried, trying to think positive all at the same time,
    yes i do know this probably means i am crazy but i think this is a fact as i am going thru all this and another TWW, and that drives us all mad at some point.

    i am so glad to have you guys as support to me and i couldn't do it without it. thanks

    Hi JBM,

    Yep this place definitely has it going on that's for sure.

    Hubby was devistated actually. We drove 2 hours just arrived in the city when they rang. WHen nurse called later I asked her why can't we put 2 back this time. FS orginally said they wait til 3 attempts first but we lost 5 embies, you know I hope she understands that. I would rather risk a twin pregnancy than freeze them and lose them again. I guess I will see Wed. You never know maybe the reversal worked and we just don't know and a miracle will happen.

    My dh and I haven't set a budget or time limit although after this round he might. It was alot to lose both financially and emotionally. When I got off the phone and told him all he could say was we didn't even name them. You see the first one was "George" Dh felt it was a living thing already and should be named accordingly not that we would have used that name at all, he just felt we couldn't call the emby an it.

    I must admit I was looking forward to an FET and not stim but will go through it again if I need to, which I do.

    Good luck with your FET hun, do you think your hubby would really say no more and that's that?

    To everyone else good luck with your cycles and lots of

    Hi Girls

    Jaxi - I'm so sorry about the Synarel not working. It didnt work for kim either, hence the lucrin injections this time. At least you didnt get to egg pick up stage and ovulate early like kim did. I gather your FS is keen on doing a down reg cycle. I asked our FS about why one would do that kind of cycle rather than a flare cycle (starting lucrin on day 1) and he said he just does what works for him best. But he also said that he thinks other doctors do it so they can try and control EVERYTHING about the timing of your cycle to avoid egg pick ups on the weekends etc.... maybe ask your FS about having a flare cycle instead of a down reg cycle so you will have less time on lucrin.

    Baby2Bee - LOL yes kim has a little tummy padding too. 3 years of fertility drugs kinda does that to ya huh. We are doing better with the needles now i think...i dont know as i'm not on the receiving end.

    Smithy - how much longer until your FET??

    Saph - My poor neice has a specialist in Cairns doing the same thing to her. She is about 90 kgs, so not too bad and she is only 25. Their problems are with sperm issues anyway, but the receptionist told her not to bother making another appointment until she gets serious and loses some weight. So glad our FS doesnt care. He says fat women have babies all the time. Kim is about 82kg so a little overweight for her, I am really overweight now, but started out normal weight 3 years ago. I blame Clomid man that stuff is bad...

    Rob - So sorry for your loss, but glad to see you get right back on the horse and rearing to head in for another cycle.

    JBM - Good luck and fingers crossed for this cycle!

    Tania - How was your EPU?? Hope you are ok!

    As for us, Kim is on CD 7, Day 7 of Lucrin, Day 4 of Gonal F 225iu. We go for our first scan and bloods on tuesday morning. She has been having killer headaches and she is having the appropriate amount of ovarian niggling and pains. So SOMETHING is definately happening in there! Can't wait until Tuesday to find out!! Until then, we are just plodding along.

    Take care everyone, checking in on you everyday, even if i dont write. Hugs...

    Thanks guys for the support, I am still reeling a little from the new FS, but I guess he cares. He spoke about being here to see my son grow up and to see him have children so he is not the big Ogre really. Anyway have eaten my way through a years worth of crap this weekend and start both the drugs and the new diet and exercise tomorrow. My aim is to lose 20kg in the next 6 months which will bring my BMI below 30. 16kg will put me back to the weight I was when I fell preg with DS. Should have an april start now but may put it off to May as I am going to Melb to see Billy Elliot with some girls from work in april so very excited about that. Anyway What I was really doing on here was to tell everyone I am ok, It is all worth it and Thankyou so very much for the support.
