loula - How are you darling??? Feeling a bit better? I do admit that's one of the reasons for wanting a "flare" cycle, whilst you feel it in the end, the journey's a much nicer/quicker one!!!

Sushee - Thanks for giving me some hope, something that's always desperately needed in the IVF game. It's always a trade off isn't it??? 2 day vs Blast, Flare vs Down Reg, they never make life easy for us do they???

Briggsy's girl - I fully understand the need for the down reg, I'm just praying like mad I won't need it. I suppose the main reason I'm hoping we can skip the down reg is because my hormones are flatlined anyways, six rounds of clomid have shown that ... I seem to have one of those really lazy reproductive systems, if there's not a drug in there making the hormones work then they're not going to do it themselves!!! That's why I'm hoping for a flare, 'cause can't see much of a point of being on the pill for three or so weeks when my hormones are flatlined anyways!!!

Chez67 - Oooooooo will you keep us informed of your cycle??? I'd really like to know how it goes and how much of a difference there is compared to the down reg. I hope this cycle works for you sweet and you're baby gazing before you know it!

Where O where are you Traceylee and Sonya??? Hope you're feeling a bit better today ....
