AF finally arrived after a 43 day cycle. So as I predicted it was probably because of the hormone injections from last IUI which stuffed my whole system up. Thanks for your thoughts along the way. x
I can't believe I am actually happy AF is visiting, I will be starting my Puregon injections tomorrow night (Sun) or Mon night and I am very excited to be starting the process again.
I really hope it works this time for obvious reasons but also because we are currently trying to buy a house so can't really afford to do IVF just yet.
GL everyone and thanks for all your help and support in here xo
Hi everyone,
A quick one from me as i'm about to go to work! Had my B/T and U/S today after 6 days of injections - they didn't tell me much (which annoyed me a little!) but my E2 is 523 but i think there may have only been 2 large follies (about 13mm) and i think around 13 on the right and around 12 on the left (i'm gussing the scan results from what she typed on the screen they didn't tell me!) So have my puregon and orgalutran tonight and Sun then repeat B/T and U/S Monday. What does my E2 level sound seems a little low????
I came home and had a sleep for an hour or so - feeling quite bloated - off to work now will check in later.
xxBella
P.s - congrats Loops on AF arrival - now you can start GL!!!!
PPS - mindhugs tips for painfree injecting works - orgalutran didn't even hurt last night!

Just herad from the clinic. Of the 23, 17 were mature and fertilised and of those 13 are good so I am very happy with the number. I only really had my heart set on 10 so very happy with the result
Tues is the day for T/F so here we go.
Twomums - Hope you are doing well after your T/F and lots of luck
Rob - That is fantastic news. Great fertilisation rates! Congrats!
Loops - Glad AF finally arrived so you can get back on that horse and try try again...all the best for this cycle!
Bella - I think your e2 levels are really good for 6 days of injections, Kims was only 72!! Its only early in the game, next scan and bloods will be the tell tale!!
Mindhugs - That is fantastic an egg for every follicle!! Cant wait to hear about fertilisation !!! Good on you!!
BabyDreamTime - Have you had your BT yet??
Kmond - Everyone is different, but usually about day 10 or 11 you have your 1st scan, so about 6 days of stims..
Big hi to everyone else!!
Well we had the transfer this morning. When we got there we had:
2 x 6 cells at Grade2+ (the two we put back)
1 x 5 cell at Grade2+ (one we are going to freeze)
1 x 4 cell at Grade2 (one that has probaby arrested)
I asked if they should have been 8 cells by now and she said that because it is so early on the 3rd day they are perfectly good embryo's. I asked if the 4 cell was the one that was only 2 cells yesterday, and she said no, that the 2 cell from yesterday was now a 5 cell, good enough to freeze. The other one that is a 4 cell was already a 4 cell yesterday and most likely wont be good enough to freeze. They will check it this afternoon to see if it has changed to a 5 or 6 cell, but it has most likely arrested. Wont know until Monday.
So we have the best two embryos that are perfectly great embryo's on board! Kim went to accupuncture yesterday afternoon at 5pm and today after the transfer at 10am. We arent going to do anymore, the accupuncturist said that studies have shown that before and after transfer is all that is required. She put these little round sticky plasters that are like tiny thumb tacks into Kim's ear and she said they can stay in for up to 7 days to assist implantation. Now all we can do is hope and pray!!!
2mums: great news with your embies. your twins are on board, now the TWW. hope it goes fast and we look forward to hearing some good news good luck
rob: wow 23 eggs, you must be sore?, good job by sound of it. how many you putting in ? by DH says not sure about IVF again ( ever) but we're talking and thats a positive. thanks for your encouragement, you prob understand me more, but been feeling very alone lately. good luck to you.
kmond: 1 felt same with synarel as you, had no real side effects they said but it worked for me. i actually had no side effects ( apart from bloating ) with injections too but i had all of them with crinone gel. go my fingers crossed for you.
sara: good luck 2 u .
BDT: know how u r feeling. pray u r wrong, and nasty AF doesn't come. good luck
mindhugs: your advice sounds good for the injections. good luck to you.
loops: how r you going? nasty AF, we hate her most of the time, she is an unwelcomed visitor in our house. ha ha. good luck to you.
bella: hope those follies keep on growing, got fingers crossed
kurby: not long til start jabbing. hope it goes well 4 u.
if i missed you : so sorry
afm:
well who really knows?
DH or should i leave out the D in front of that ?!, has said yes lets do another IVF, but now he is saying no again, he wants to adopt.
he doesn't want to go thru all the emotions of IVF as it was a very hard year for us with all this TTC, and 6 BFN.
i don't know, i am still sad, AF is still here (i hate her BTW). i still feel a little lost but i have some time off this arvo for 2 hrs, do DH.
so maybe IVF, maybe not ? it's all up to DH as i am perfectly fertile.
Rob - GL today with your transfer, we will be in the TWW wait together with twins!!!! lots of for you!!
JBM - Hi how you doing hun??? I think hubby might just need some time to absorb what is happening. What if you did another stim cycle and got a whole new batch of embryos!! A different batch might be the trick!!
BabyDreamTime - I dont know how you do it...you are so strong and an inspiration. We fully intend to keep going at it this year until we get our bub! You will get yours too!!
Jaxi - I hope you are feeling better. GL with your appt!
Mindhugs - 3 blasties!! Good on you!!! Blasties are rare-uns! I'd be happy to get one to blastie stage! C'mon May!!!
Bella - See, glad you are on the up and up!!!
Lani - The AC is great isnt it, if it doesnt help with the implantation etc, it really is great for stress and stuff!!!
Wouldlovabubba - Hope the TWW isnt sending you insane! We are only 3 days in!!!
EmmaPenguin - It cant be the Pregnyl if it was neg one day and positive the next. It would be a line then get lighter, not no line then a line the next day... I reckon you are UTD!!!!!!!!!!!
Big for everyone!!!!!
Kim and I are doing ok, she had 3 days off work after the transfer and laid around watching foxtel and dvd's all weekend. Her first day back is today and all the kids at her work (she manages a KFC store) know everything and they will do all the lifting etc!! They have already nicknamed to twins Petrie and Pipette!!!! How cute is that!!!
mindhugs - I can definitely relate to the bloatedness. I had 22 eggs at EPU and so as expected, a lot of gas. It was quite uncomfortable. I think mine eased off when AF arrived....which was a bummer. Hope you have better luck.
About me - I was supposed to start thaw cycle this month (last week) but cancelled due to lack of OV. On the positive, at least my FS agrees that I don't always ovulate (blood tests and other tests have always shown I do) so maybe he can suggest an alternative treatment. On the negative, this means yet another month lost. My big worry is what if the frozen doesn't thaw properly....then we lose yet another month.
Best of luck with the upcomming IUI! 2009 will be our year! Go Gatha ppl! LOL.
and lots of luck 
to everyone else. Be back later.
good luck
