Hi Girls,

Have recovered from Fridays EPU. Had a very slow weekend felt very crampy and a realllly sore back. Anyway spoke to QFG scientist this morning and the good news is at day 3 there are still 5 embies. 1 X 10 cell, 1 X 9, 2 x 8 and 1 X 7. Apparently at day 3 they are normally 6 cell so this was good news. Now I am just praying that they make it another 2 days to blast transfer on Wednesday. I am practising the power of positive thought and visualising myself with the big buddha belly in 9 months time!

Two Mums - Thanks for asking. I asked about rescue ICSi on Saturday morning and doc told me that once the eggs have been exposed to sperm it doesnt work?? There was no great discussion at the time. Prior to this cycle weve only tried ICSI once as we usually get good egg numbers and good fertilisation. When we did ICSI that once it only gave us the same level of success as natural, so FS suggests natural. I think next time I am definately going ICSI (if I need a next time). Can anyone ellighten me on emergency ICSI and its success - especially in Brissy. Not sure about the FSH causing low fert rates, could be right - hasnt been an issue before. I was particularly disappointed as I was expecting a better result than usual as this time I had acupunctire and herbs to improve quality and numbers, we also abstained from BD'g for a week before and DH had no alcohol for a week.

Did anyone see "The Secret" on TV Saturday night? I really enjoyed it, I taped it and after watching it again am looking forward to putting it in to practice...

Thankyou to all for your good luck wishes I will uses your prayers wisely.
