Hi everyone - well my FS is very pleased with the size of my follie and we are going ahead for an EPU on Saturday. I will get my phone call to confirm the time to take my trigger injection tonight and then will have another scan prior to the EPU on Saturday to confirm that the egg hasn't prematurely released. My FS has said that in her experience there is about a 80-90% chance that the follie will contain an egg, and then about 70-80% chance that the egg will fertilise for transfer. So we are staying with the odds and the original plan of IVF and ICSI. We discussed a 2 day vs 5 day transfer, and my FS says that because there is only one egg she doesn't want to risk going to 5 days as the embie may not make it - there is a better success rate with 2 day transfer for single eggs apparently.

Maybe the acupuncture sessions and heat pack have worked? I am having another session tomorrow tonight and then a 30mins session before and after transfer. I am starting to sound like a real convert now aren't I?

I am SOOOOOO EXCITED and HAPPY - I am keeping it in check at the moment because of work, but I am sure they all think that something is going on because I have had some real ups and downs this week (although I can write it off as the job thing). Anyway, DF gets home tonight, so he will have to make sure everything is 'fresh' and ready to go on his side of things Unfortunately, he flies out again on Monday morning so won't be around for the transfer. I know that this is probably a long shot but I can't help but feeling positive. Maybe we will be able to meet up with our AC babies sooner than I thought possible? And maybe I will be in my TWW for my 40th birthday - so what if I can't indulge - I have a birthday every year, not an embie in me!!

Take care everyone and talk soon.
