    Meredith: I also have had lining issues, so that's why with this FET I am doing a "Fake" Natural cycle using clomid. At the scan my lining was at 6mm and with my other FET's I had to have a lining of a minimum of 9mm.

    I asked as the lining wasn't where it should be at will this cause a problem with the transfers. I was advised that they would hope the lining would thicken up between now and trnasfer time but seeing as we are faking a natural cycle the lining is not a huge issue as my body should know what it has to do.....

    I am hoping your lining grows for you by the time you have EPU, but at least you know that you have some good sized follicles growing and that you might get lots of frosties from this cycle for use later on....when your FS works out how to get your lining playing nicely...

    re: the job, I have worked in finance all my life but due to the market at the moment there is not much available in that field so I have applied for a Customer Service role with the "Public Service", hence the need for all the checks that are required. I would think that I would have to be pretty close to getting the job if it's got down to the final stages of the interview process, and seeing over 400 people applied for about 20 jobs available I'm feeling quietly confident...

    Hi Girls,

    I am loving the long weekend!

    Diamond - I know what you meant about concentrating at work, it can be really hard, if I am feeling really unmotivated I just pick the tasks that I like the most and that seems to help a bit, either that or I go out to lunch with a friend and that can be a nice distraction.

    Krikkit - sorry about your long wait for surgery. I think you should be really proud of just how positive you are being about it all, that is going to stand you in good stead.

    Neptune - So glad you made it into 2WW after your earlier disappointments, hoping they will disappear when you see that BFP!!

    WLAB - Hey nice going - 2 on board - see you in the 2WW also

    Sara - great to hear you have a timing plan now that AF showed up, and good luck with shifting the kilos too

    KellyD - great to hear you are on track, I will be hoping you continue to progress well next week and checking in on you too. Job is sounding really promising too - it's all happening for you and I always say things happen in 3's - house, job, BFP Here's hoping for you!!

    WishingBaby and Loops - well done and see you in 2WW - it's gonna be busy in there which is fabulous

    MeredithD - so sorry sweetie that your lining is not playing the game, and please don't ever apologise for being a sad sack - it's better to share the worry and get it off your chest that's what we are here for. I can totally understand your immense disappointment. I really hope the vag oestrogen works hard for you over the weekend and Tues brings good news with a nice thick lining. Also hopefully you get some good frosties too. WRT lining do you have accupuncture? I have regular accupuncture and the woman I see really believes that accup can help with the flow of energy in your body so that it makes the lining aerated and 'fluffy' as she called it. I know fluffy sounds a bit weird but she thinks is very helpful for implantation. She also said that yoga or mediation that really focuses on breathing and the breath is also really good. Not sure if this helps or not....

    Rob - great result and good luck for transfer on Tues - looking forward to seeing you in 2WW.

    AFM - good news had my transfer today - I have 2 embies on board and hoping they are settling in well. I also had accup this morning which was great - helped me to be relaxed (although still a little nervous) but definately feeling positive. She told me to do a really positive visualisation of being pregnant and I found this very calming and inspiring. I am normally very social however, this weekend we are laying low so I can chill out - watching DVDs etc. Only catching up with one friend on Monday who had a baby a few weeks ago - so that will be nice and quiet too.

    I am going to head over to 2WW now, but I will be coming back and checking on everyone. Good luck and spreading positive vibes and babydust to you all.

    Aleenta: Sending lots of for you to.

    Hope your embies a snuggling in the fluffy lining - your acupunture lady sounds great. You Know I am doing acupuncture too and apart from the treatment I think it's just really good to have someone else next to the doctors and nurses who really knows what we're going trough and who is a positive influence.

    The visualisation sounds really nice too.

    Aleenta: Congrats with your 2 on board.

    I'll see you soon in the TWW. There will be a few of us with 2 on board this TWW.

    AFM: No LH surge as yet, but I think the hormones are doing their "thang" as I have broken out so badly in pimples and I am now getting the egg white CM (sorry if TMI). Based on calculations should be about 18mm in size now, so hopefully surge will occur in the next couple of days.

    Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend.....

    Thanks for words of encouragement girls.
    Sadly, I am already doing EVERYTHING known to help lining including accupuncture and of all things,, Viagra. Strangely, i did the same intense stuff last cycle and had the best lining ever but who klnows, maybe none of the drugs helped and my body just did whatever it liked.
    Not holding out much hope for frosties either as had none from last cycle with 14embies. Think I would prefer to just go with fresh ET and pray for a miracle. Ectopic pg's happen with NO lining so maybe even a little bit might be enough ( she says in the vain hope of believing it...not!)

    Aleenta - great that 2 bubbas made it through freeze and are hopefully snuggling in for the long haul
    May your 2ww be as painless as possible

    KellyD - Hope that surge happens soon and you get 2 great little bubbas in there.
    Wow 9mm lining would be the stuff of my dreams. Never had better than 7mm. DS and a couple of my other pg's were on 6mm lining so I think you are doing great to be at 6 with many days still to go
