Good morning everyone

AngelBabies/Slyder, yes I saw the documentary on SBS. It was a real eye opener! They are so right that after a while the technology just becomes part of the fabric of society. Since we were married my husband and I knew that we would have to do IVF to have a chance to have kids, and it wasn't a big deal. Having said that, we're extremely lucky/grateful that the technology exists!

I felt a pang of guilt when they detailed the early treatment regime - 3 injections every day for weeks! Guess I don't really deserve any sympathy for the mozzie bites I have to do once a day

miss c our move went very smooth, it was just around the corner in comparison to you!! Moving overseas is very exciting, I'm a little jealous but excited for you! Thanks for all the info, it is an enormous help to come here and ask questions. You're right it is getting easier, and I'm sure it will seem like second nature if I have to do all of this again for another cycle at any point.

Thinking of everyone that is in their two week wait! Hoping that I can join you soon!

I had my blood test and scan on Saturday, which was my birthday!!! Bit of a pain to be there at 8am (so no brekky in bed for me LOL), but it felt like a nice pressie to see what was going on! As it turned out the ultrasound lady wouldn't tell me anything at all, except it's too early to tell you anything, which was a bit deflating - but better than this is wrong or that is wrong! I saw her counting follicles, so I'm itching to know what's going on in there *pokes tummy*

When I saw the nurse she gave me orgalutran injections to take with the gonal f. OMG the gonal f seems bloody easy to take in comparison! I got really red and itchy. Just as well I only need to take it twice

Hub has been such a support thru all of this. He's very excited about it all, and comes to every appointment and sits (and winces) with me when I inject.

Booked in for another scan and blood test tomorrow, so hopefully someone will tell me what's going on! Feel like we're getting to the pointy end now.

The nurse told me I'm doing an antagonist cycle, is this the same as a flare? We still don't know why the FS has put me on it. I'm not complaining, it's much quicker

Warm snuggly thoughts for everyone today! Hope you have a wonderful week.
