    Awww – I had just writed a post and lost the lot!...so here goes again
    BW- Fantastic news that you start the puregon. YAY, what a relief for you! The acupuncturist sounds great. I suffer from bad sinus pain, even worse now that they have taken the “proper” Sudafed off the market.
    EJE- I thought it was you, but thought I’d better make sure first. It’s great to see that things have progressed so well for you since we last spoke! Were are you in the tww? It’s such a nerve racking time isn’t it?
    MON-Goodluck with your cycle. I don’t really understand all the different meds like lucrin and puregon, or all the blood tests that everyone seems to have to have. My ICSI seems straight forward compared to this: the pill for a month, syneral, gonal F and the trigger injection, no blood tests (except after the tww), only scans.
    KIM- The holiday sounds like a great idea! Are you in the tww atm?

    With my first IVF ICSI, rather than having to use the gel daily in the tww, I requested the 2 injections which was so much easier. Just wondering if other people have been offered this as it seems so much easier…and less messy!

    Carrie, I presume the extra TWW injections are HCG booster shots? Interesting thought there - the crinone is probably the medication I'm most scared of, particularly now that I've got the injections under control. Although, the reaction I had to the last HCG shot is making me think the crinone will be the better option for me.

    It really is a great feeling to know that I'm starting tomorrow. Getting to the puregon makes me feel like I'm finally actually starting IVF - the synarel and lucrin haven't given me the same feeling. It's just a shame that today my knee has decided to hurt like crazy! I'm not sure I want to take naprosyn at this stage!
