Howdy Ladies,

Cherie such a wonderful gift for you and DH. Congrads! You and DH will lots of catching up to do when he returns from Kokoda - lots of celebrating!
And Linda I know it is a bit belate but Congrads to you too

Allie, I had a sluggish start to my 1st Stimulated cycle too. Only 4 follicles on the first scan. The doc then upped the dose and the second scan we got 8 follicles. At EPU though we ended up with 12 eggs - unfortunately the rest...well that didn't go so good. BUT the morale of the story is "never say never" - you might be pleasantly surprised in the next few days????

Sari, I was very upset for you that your FET was so painful. Can I ask why do you need a full bladder for transfer????

Megan I think we all have off days. It is a bummer when our body doesn't do what we want it too! What dose of FSH are you on? Could it be a matter of them upping your dose? And don't worry about the synarel - I think I am a serial synarel forgettora - I even stopped asking the doc about it (he never seems concerned anyway...but he is very laid back)

Hello to everyone else
Have been a bit MIA myself and realised I had so much catching up to do. Work as just been so busy - thankfully the new staff member has started. And it is real good work has been busy because this has been the longest cycle ever. It feels like it is going on forever. EPU on Tuesday though - a nice little snoozy woozy to look forward too! But this cycle is yuck. Because of our slow start and then low fertilisation rate the doc started us on a higher dose and I feel bloated, tired and very very grumpy! Dunno if this is normal but it is definetly different to the last time....kinda dreading the trigger shot - I remember last time being hardly able to move (and I thought I only had a small number of follicles) this time I know I have many more follicles and already finding it difficult to move particularly when my bladder is full (probably TMI - sorry)! Should I prepare for a sickie???
Enough yapping from me - must go...hope everyone else is holding in there. Keep well and looking forward to seeing some more BFPs coming this way.
