    Hi Girls

    Just popping in to say hi. Still busy unpacking and gettting the house in to some sort of organised state... How do we manage to accumulate so much stuff!!!!

    Still waiting to hear about the job. I agency has advised that they have been delayed with getting final numbers, but hopefully will know something this week.

    Although it is a good thing we are int he process of doing this move to keep my mind occupied... I found out a couple of days ago that a friend of mine had a miscarriage over Xmas (she already has 3 kids, the youngest 10 months) and another is complaining on her facebook page about M/S (didn't even know she was pg and this is her second) and then a 3rd friend is also 12 weeks (with her 2nd).

    It is really hard to 1. try to give sympathy to my friend who miscarried, seeing I went through the same in early Dec and to feel happy for our 2 other friends who are pg again.

    We also think that another of our friends is pg as well as she sent me a message saying "She has some news", but wants to tell us in person...

    I am so hoping this time works, but have decided to not tell anyone about this FET due to all the expectation on us from the previous transfers.

    WLAB - 16 eggies is fantastic. Hope you get some good fertilsation numbers and your transfer next week. We will definately be TWW buddies....

    Hi Girls!

    WLB - 16 eggs, thats TERRIFIC! Hope they all fertilise and its your time this month.

    Neptune - hope your scan and blood test gave you the results you were after.

    KellyD - I think keeping the transfer quiet is a good thing. The hardest part other than an unsuccessful cycle is having to tell everyone about it when your trying to come to terms with it yourself. Im sure its hard to give support to other friends too. You have to do whats right for you unfortunately however selfish that may seem. Hope you get the job too!

    Aleenta - how exciting, a transfer this Saturday! Best of luck and hope this is the one for you. Lots of

    Mollygirl - your not the worst friend in the world. ive been in similar situations and felt awful but in the end, I thought it would be worse to go see someone and congratulate them only for the next minute to burst into tears. Its a very HARD situation to be in. It wasnt until I started the IVF journey that I realised how hard it was facing people with kids and babies and getting that aching, longing feeling. Im sure that your friend will understand under the circumstances. I hope AF arrives properly for you soon. Hang in there.

    Kritkat - Sorry to hear about all the dramas you are having with your clinic. I was in a similar boat waiting to have my lap done. It wasnt until I was admitted into hospital for a week to control my pain, that they put a hurry on for my surgery and scheduled it for a month later. Take control and keep on their backs! Good luck.

    AFM, had my scan this morning and Im all good to start jabbing tomorrow! My next scan is scheduled for the 29th so am HOPING to trigger that night with EPU on the 31st. Otherwise, will have to trigger on the 31st with EPU on the 2nd as they dont do EPU on a Sunday.

    Take care,

    Tania

    I have read all the posts and I am thinking of you all, and thanks for thinking of me, but please forgive me for not having the energy today for doing personals.

    My IVF cycle was cancelled as only one mature follicle today and low E2 levels, but they have converted it to an IUI - so trigger tonight and IUI Friday morning. I feel okay, and better than last time when there was not even this option, but still confused as to why it is happening to me. The nurse this morning told me it is sheer bad luck, but I am terrified that there is just something wrong with me that will prevent a pregnancy form ever happening. I will be asking these questions when I get a chance.

    But for now, I hold a little bit of hope for Friday. I am trying to relax and deep breathe etc.

    Thanks beautiful girls, hope everyone is okay. Sorry for me me me.

    Did you hear re fertilisation WLAB????

    Oh Neptune - I am sorry your cycle was cancelled, I cannot offer much advice on the medical side of things, but I can offer you hope with IUI, it has worked for lots of ladies, and it can work for you. I am pleased for you, that you have an IUI on Friday, it gives you hope, which is very important during our journey.

    It will happen for you, you never know how the IUI will go, so keep hoping and don't loose faith.

    Thank you for asking after me. Our clinic doesn't ring with results, we get them at tommorows embryo transfer. I am remarkably calm, at this stage...

    Stay positive my friend

    New to Belly Belly

    Hi to all, my name is Lou.
    I am new to Belly Belly and have started IUI this month for the first time. My DH and I have been TTC for nearly 3yrs.
    DH has low count and low mobility. I think at this stage I am ok after having several tests incl. Laparoscopy which showed up nothing.
    Started with the needles and have the IUI on Friday. Hoping for the best and to not go through anymore disappointment.
    I feel for everyone TTC and know your pain. It has been good to read your stories - both positive and disappointing ones and to know that we are not alone. So thank you.
    I wish everyone success in conceiving in 2009 - and
