    Hi ladies,

    I just wanted to say Happy New Year to all of you, I haven't posted for awhile as I was in the 2ww, then went on holidays but I'm back now. I just want to encourage you all, keep up the sniffing, jabbing, and and staying positive. I am thinking of you all and sending you all

    I got my BFP on the 27th of Dec when I had my BT. I was amazed, and I feel so blessed, its been 13 years of never seeing a BFP (unexplained infertility), 4 IUI's, 1IVF cycle and finally a miracle happened, I just want to encourage you all ladies, if it happened to me it can happen to you. I every day and I still do every day, I am grateful and I know that miracles do happen, it will happen to you, stay positive and I'm for BFP for all of you for 2009!

    Hello ladies
    Guess I will jump on this thread now, have been away for awhile due to christmas and BFN's but I am back now and starting a new cycle, started jabbing last night, BT on CD10 then see where we go from there I am thinking if this cycle doesn't have any success then I will talk to FS about moving onto the next step which will be IUI's depending on money situation as DP and I have just started proceedings to buy a house. Anyway wishing everyone a great new year and hope to see more BFP's this year.

    Hi Girls,

    Unfortunately things are not looking good. It looks like EPU will be Friday but today there were only three one close to ripe between 17 and 20mm, there are another four but they are much behind between 5 to 14 so probably won't be ready.

    Trying to stay calm but I am devastated. Since I have to do PGD because of a dominant genetic condition so can statistically only use 50% and have to wait until Day 5 I don't think I have a chance that ET will be possible. Trying to think that it's positive that I at least got to egg collection since my first cycle was cancelled but not in a good state at the moment.

    Baby Dreamtime: Good lck for ET, will be thinking of you, hopefully you will even get a frostie or two.

    Jen: that's wonderful news hope you have an uneventful and healthy pregnancy.

    Wishingbaby: good luck for your cycle.

    Nikki & Aleenta

    Everyone else - hope you're going well wherever you're at in your cycles.

    I am so excited about everything at the moment - new year, new thread and about to start seeing my new FS (well he is my original FS from 2 years ago but its still something new)

    AND last night on my way home from work he called me to say how excited he is that I am coming back and that he will move heaven and earth to get me pregnant!!!! He is just the BEST !!!

    So I am busy filling in forms forms and more forms to have my medical files released and more importantly to have my precious frozen bubs transferred - yay they get to go on a day trip !!!

    Sorry I know I am just ranting on about who knows what, its just that I haven't felt so positive about anything in such a long time and it feels GREAT!!!!

    So I am sending out ridiculous amounts of positive thoughts to everyone and lets hope that 2009 brings a record number of BFP to Belly Belly!!!

    Hi sara69 - sorry to hear that you are upset. You still have a couple of days for the others to get bigger. the 14mm one also sounds good too, by friday it could be big enough as well. Im sending positive thoughts your way!!!!!!

    Mollygirl - glad to see your positivity shine thru! hopefully it will rub off on us too.

    Nikki - at least you will have some answers next week when you see the FS. Hope it all goes well!

    Hi wishing baby - i might see you over in the iui thread soon.

    AFM - scan today insemination looks like it will be on Friday. The Nurse asked if I had eva had endo (as there was some grainy bits on the scan), I said I had never been told that I had it. Does anyone know how they test for it? As I dont know if Ive been tested for it, she had me a bit worried.

    Hi Toby - I was always under the impression that they had to do a laparoscopy to check for endo. Fairly simple operation where they make a small incision in your belly button and stick a tiny camera inside and have a look. I had one last year - fairly straight forward. Could be wrong though - there may be other ways to check. I'm sure the girls in here will know the answers.

    HI Ladies- have lurked a little in here lately but guess its time to get posting again. We did an IVF/PGD cycle at the end of 2008 which was very sadly BFN and none made it to freeze so back to square one. I am currently on provera so I can bring on AF next week ( don't cycle on my own) and will be doing antagonst IVF ( no PGD this time) hopefully start next Thurs... yipee for new hope in 2009!

    Mollygirl - what a great attitude and I hope 2009 brings you a much deserved pg! Your FS sounds like a real darl. Your truly need someone working hard for you and not to feel like just another number

    Sara - have replied to you in PGD thread. Have my fingers crossed for Friday

    Toby - endo usually diagnosed with Lap as Molly has described. Don't stress to much. Plenty of women with endo have hassle free pregnancies

    Sorry for those I've missed. Still catching up on everyone

    Hi all,

    time for me to start posting properly again - have been a bit absent with some disappointments but ready to engage and feel good again. Great to hear positivity from a number of you too!
    Jen - congrats on your BFP - good to kick the new thread off with fab news.
    Wishing Baby - good luck for this cycle
    Nikki - hope your FS appointment goes well - it's always good to get a new plan to focus on
    Sara - I am sorry you are feeling disappointed, I have my fingers crossed for you. I understand what it's like when it doesn't go to plan - it really sucks!
    Molly - great to hear your cheeriness - keep it up - it's good for all of us!
    Toby - Good luck for Friday
    Meredith - we are on a similar plan, I am on Provera at the moment as have crazy cycles but I am hoping to do a FET after some Gonal F as I didn't respond to the Progynova. Praying for both of us AF shows up next week. I haven't done Provera before and I have heard it doesn't work for everyone and since I don't seem to have normal reactions to other drugs a teeny part of me is a bit worried it won't work. But hey I am now trying to look at it from the perspective that at least with everything new my FS tries we get more information...
    Lots of luck and hugs out to everyone,
    Aleenta

    Hi all,

    Provera worked for me although it made me feel very tired, like I mean having a two hour nanna nap and still going to bed at 8pm and sleeping until 6am. I was toally shattered.

    Sara - cycle buddy we can do this I am responding very slowly this cycle, it is just our bodies recovering from christmas. I have to say it has been a while since I have used Puregon but geez i dont remeber feeling this tired and hot and i have become and insomniac, oh and It has also given me the runs (TMI i know) but at least I am not about to murder anyone this time.

    Toby this is our first IUI cycle and up until now havent even thought about insemination, but is it really just like having a pap smear? Or are the doctors telling porkies.

    Completely off the subject, My new piano got delivered today I am so excited. Yay!

    Well hope everyone is doing well.

    Hi everyone,
    Just a quick update from me, I had my ET yesterday with two nice looking early blasties transferred. My BT is on the 16th, so it will be a very short TWW. I am waiting to hear if we have any for the freezer. I am popping over there now, but it looks to be a little quite in there so will likely be back here and will be watching and praying for you in your cycles as well. Hope you can join me there soon. Hugs xx
