    KateB - That's great you are doing a short cycle, timewise it is more like doing a natural cycle. My first cycle was a down reg long cycle. It took 43 looooong days (taking the pill, sniffing and then jabbing) just to get to EPU, then obviously another TWW to find out if we were pregnant or not! All in all a long time.

    Hey Janie,

    Yes I've realised we are lucky - I didn't realise there were 'types' of IVF before we started. I didn't really know much about IVF at all really - maybe I even thought we just went to a clinic and got a baby all gurgling and cute and wrapped up in a bunny rug! But guess not!

    Hey Ladies,
    Just a quick Update on myself.. I got my results back HCG is 22 at the moment I am only 12DPO so can I assume thats good? I am soooo sick at the moment with this OHSS aswell nothing seems to be helping I am going to get some panadeine forte and then see if that helps if it does not then I will have to be admitted into hospital I am soo scared I keep getting hot and cold flushes too and really bad stomach pains ...

    Thanks to you all for listening to me and sorry about being slack on personals!

    Hey Miss K - I don't know much about levels so can't help out there. Please don't apologise for anything - you need to take care of yourself number one priority! I hope you feel so much better soon. Will be for you!

    paula: good luck with injections, i'm glad for weekend too.

    kate: good to practice jabbing, don't forget to pull out epipen before you jab yourself, like i did and had to do it 2 times first go. ouch. not too bad after that. i just pinched fat bit of tummy real hard before injecting, think it helped me? good luck

    janie: hope your acu goes well tommorrow, good luck

    missk: hoping you feel better soon, when do you know for sure if you preg or not? i don't understand the numbers for tests?,
    good luck to you

    angelbabies: hi, how are you feeling? hope you ok

    possums: hi, you are not alone and bb is great, i could not have survived without the support i get in here.

    HI ladies. Hope everyone having nice weekend.

    Possums - Hoping your 3 little embies are strong ones and make it all the way. Are you having day5 transfer?

    Tiggerlinda - How are you going darl? Have you had follie scan yet?

    KateB - welcome and best of luck on your journey. I am hoping you are not with us very long before you move on to a pg thread (not that we wouldn't enjoy your company here!)

    MissK - Did you have a pregnyl trigger? If not, then 22 at 12dpo sounds like a BFP to me - Yay, yay!!
    Hoping the OHSS settles very soon so you can start to enjoy it

    Saph - praying you get a natural miracle this month

    Janie - Hoping the extra progynova is doing the trick for you and there is a nice thick lining by Mon

    Bel - rest up darl. Hoping a good "clean out" does the trick for next cycle

    JBM - acupuncture is great eh? Hope it does the trick for you

    Paula - yep, the news frustrates me too. Lately there has been so many stories of child neglect. It breaks my heart to think so many babies are so unappreciated, yet their parents just keep breeding like rabbits! Best of luck for this cycle. Hopefully it is your last for a long, long time

    AFM - Had scan yesterday. Follies still very slow. 14mm on left ovary and 11mm on right. Lining slightly better at 4.5mm which I am ok with since at least better and still more time to improve. Thought they would get me back for another scan on Mon but FN has decided just to do IUI on Tues assuming follies will be ready. Would have preferred to go a,little longer for lining to thicken but can't really argue. I think they are worried I might suddenly develop to many follies and have to cancel. Just praying everything grows well in the next few days. This has been such a looong and weird cycle. I usually stim so much better.

    Hi, just online quickly so sorry no replies at length. MIss K..hope you feel better soon! good luck.
    Just wanted to report in that so far the three embies are still growing...two look strong and one is growing a bit slowly. We are happy with that news and believe we'll have at least one strong one come Day 5. Transfer Day 5, on Monday morning, so we will drive down and stay overnight tomorrow night and then won't know for sure if there is one to transfer until mon morn. We are thinking positive and sending energy to our little embryos. Still VERY nervous though. But glad at least the three are still hanging in there today.
    All the best to everyone.
