Hi everyone!

Saltprincess - I was doing a flare cycle but my ovaries were not responding very well, too small, apart from 2, so it wasn't worth doing an egg collection - apparently. My FS called me and told me that he didn't want to cancel the cycle completely so he suggested IUI. He said it was better to try and get something! I suppose he thinks that there is a slim chance that it will work, as if he was really positive he'd never suggest it and risk triplets. Anyway, I had either 2 or 3 follies, there was possibly a 3rd one hiding but they weren't sure. FS did tell me about the risk of multiple embies. I'm secretly hoping and hoping that it's worked and we get twins. I know it is a riskier pg, but only one pg and not having to go through all of this again would be magic. We can all dream...At the end of the day it was our choice.

Maybe talk to your FS about it and see what they say if you are in a similar position to me?

AB - thanks so much for the info. It sounds like a very viable option for me. I'm not sure if my clinic does it, I shall ask them. I go to IVF Australia, Sydney.

I'm off now for a BT to see if I've ovulated. After a trigger injection I ought to have done. We'll see, it certainly feels as if there's a lot going on in there!

BecD - for your fert results today.

RH76 I am at the same stage as you and am also cramping lots today, it can be a side effect of Crinone if you are on that. Or as I'd like to believe it's the little embies making themselves feel at home for both of us. I am also secretly hoping that there will be two wee ones

Angel I was wondering what IVM was, thanks for the details. Wow science and wonderful Dr are fantastic.

BecD great to see you had a good number fertilise, hope they all grow into super blasties for you.

BW rest up and take care

Salt hope those ovaries have been working overtime for you over the past 24 hours..

miss-c good luck with the packing. I too have been putting it off. I am now off to look through things we don't need anymore as we are moving house next week.

BB to all
