Loops12 - I totally understand you wanting to lay low for awhile . You'll know when you're good and ready to jump back in and we'll be here with a big Welcome Back! I also understand your money dilemmas. DH and I earn good money between us but it is a huge strain on things. I have put my tax money towards it and saved nearly $3K for this cycle but we have to pay the full $7680 on day of ET (This Wed - of which we will be out of pocket approx $3.5K as we have not yet reached safety net). We did away with our credit card when we bought our place last year and so we have had to ask my parents for the money upfront. It's totally humiliating and I am really worried if we don't have success this time, we'll be back there trying to scrape together the money all over again. You can only do what you can but I know the financial pressure that goes with it. Good luck with everything.
Mitf - it looks like you'll have a good few embies in there with a shot. My FS prepared us to lose half to natural attrition so I have had in my head that we might get to ET with 2 embies if lucky. I hope that yours hang in there. I'll be thinking of you and i'll be jumping on here when I get home on Wed to be checking things out!
Jasminstar - So glad you got to transfer your 2 little blasties. I am hoping, hoping, hoping that the others catch up so that you can have a back-up plan. I hope DH has come around a bit and is looking out for you. What I hadn't realised is that after EPU our hormones spike apparently. I have been a lot more emotional in the last few days (and irrational if I am being honest!). But...we're allowed. I am sending you all the sticky vibes I can muster and make sure you keep us updated!
Wishes - I hope the TWW is going well and that you are able to keep distracted. Thinking of you.
Tantee - A big hello to you. I hope you're doing OK after your BFN. Your clinic sounds wonderful! Do you mind sharing their name? I think that it is wonderful that they are not for profit. My clinic as I mentioned earlier charges $7680 which incl all BT, U/S, meds (apart from Lucrin on down reg @ $250). Then EPU is about $980 and ET around $280 (which luckily for me is all covered by Private Health).I think those charges are so out of reach for many of us.
Nix76 - Welcome! Good luck with your scan tomorrow. It is exciting when you start the FSH as it feels like you are really getting somewhere with your treatment.
Emerald Star - I am so glad you're back! Such disappointing news that your pregnancy ended so soon. I hope you weren't in too much pain or discomfort and I applaud your positive attitude. Resilience like yours is admirable and we all find strength in your example. Take care of yourself in this month off. You are more than welcome for the PM. It is funny how this forum brings us all together.
AFM - Had the Day 3 call from the embryologist this morning and from the 4 eggs retrieved, 3 fertilised. Apparently by Day 3 my clinic likes to see the embies at 6 cells or above. I have 2 x 8 cells and 1 compacted morula which apparently contains 10-30 cells. They now need to get to between 75-100 cells to be a blastie by Day 5 (Wed). Apparently today is the day they either take off or get left behind. So DH and I have everything crossed that we have one to go to ET and maybe 1 to freeze .
Hi Baby2Bee, williamsemma59,seph, juniper76, daisy, vira, Mrs P, bubbles, Miss K and any others I have missed.
