    Wishes - you have articulated my thoughts perfectly (I could swear you read my mind). I don't think you have anything to worry about, these feelings are perfectly normal. We all have our good and bad weeks, and some times it's just good to have a rant!. FX that we will all achieve our BFP's soon.

    Taurean - I do my own shots too, the though of DH jabbing me is not appealing. And yes those lovely rolls do come in handy! I find if I pinch it just below it doesn't hurt as much. Great news that we are doing our Puregon shots from the same day. My dose has tripled from my IUI's so I will be interested to see how differently it affects me. Do you know the date for your EPU?

    No idea of date of EPU. I go in for another blood test on Monday and they'll monitor me from there. My clinic can seem a bit blase about those things because they are so busy but I feel confident with them. I am on 150 units of Puregon and am a bit worried about how I am going to handle it. But having said that, I have been absolutely fine on the Lucrin and all I have noticed is a dry mouth sensation.

    I had to laugh when I read the product info for Puregon:
    "Puregon contains the active ingredient, follitropin beta rch. This is produced by a Chinese hamster ovary cell line transfected with the human FSH subunit genes"

    OK....WTF? Chinese hamster ovary cells?!?!

    Hi to everyone and with TTC and your cycles

    OMG Taurean78, I so wish I didn't just learn that - what a laugh. I'm on Puregon next week... now I"ll be thinking of hamster eggs! Just kidding... I'm going to try really hard to forget it.

    My first injection went really well... no problems whatsoever. I was really psyched for it and I hope they all go so well.

    HOpe everyone is doing well.

    Vira - Thanks for the
    Any news on your next steps yet?

    Mitf - Glad to see you back.....sorry about the delay in your cycle. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that despite these hiccups good things are on their way!

    Taurean78 - daisie - Loops12 - and mitf you guys are really close together with your cycles......i am for lots of in August for all of us.

    AFM - Embriologist called this morning to let me know that 3 are still fertilised and 1 is really slow with its cell division......i've given up on that one and its seems we are down to 3 Grade A embies. I'm praying they are still Grade A's by Saturday......I will ask about cell division tomorrow and see where they're at....by tomorrow according to my research they should be at at least 6 - 8 cell division. Has anyone been through this and can explain it all to me.....pleeeeeese!

    I don't know about that Emeraldstar - sorry. But I will continue to for you.

    mitf - with your injections. I'll be starting mine tonight as AF arrived yesterday morning (with a vengeance!). Trying to think positively and hoping it could be the last one I have in a while if IVF goes well. It can't hurt to hope!

    Must be off - going for a drive down to Austinmer & Wollongong with my friend and her 7m.o DD. Enjoy your weekend ladies.

    Hi Ladies,

    Taurean78 and Daisie - thanx fir for the

    Sorry no personals today. Just wanting update you all.....and then there were TWO!!
    Two of my embies have become into Grade A Morulas and the embriologist is very happy at their progress. The other 2 have really slowed in their division. FS says I probably won't have any to freeze. ET is tomorrow AM and I'm starting to get excited and nervous. ( pleeeeeeeeeeeeese STICK embies!!!! )

    Sending you all luck for your cycles.
