GB - hope surgery went well.

Lushlou - I hope you're feeling a bit better. Sometimes it's difficult to keep on top of everything. Fingers crossed that you won't need to worry about any of it by September!

Jo - hope the 2ww isn't dragging too much for you. Hope it's a BFP at the end of it!! As for the not drinking, I know what you mean - I have a good friend's hen's day in the middle of what will be my 2ww on my 1st IVF. I don't know what to tell people... Maybe that you're on some medication that you can't drink with? I'm just worried about the questions because it's really not like me not to drink. If you come up with a great excuse please let me know.

BW - glad to hear you took the day off. Sounds like you had a lovely day relaxing. Hope you're feeling better soon! With the baby shower I think it depends on how good a friend it is. The last one I was invited to I made up an excuse that we had something else on. I just couldn't deal with it. I will see her soon at home now that the baby is born.

Hollybolly - I know what you mean about feeling alone. My DH & I argue quite a bit about all of this TTC stuff... they just don't understand how we feel. It's very difficult when you're wanting sympathy from them and they don't even understand why?! It is good that when they don't understand we have all the lovely ladies here to understand!

Hello to everyone else, sorry if I've missed anyone. It's hard to keep up!

Well I've got my EPU on Monday. I had my scan yesterday and I have to go for one more blood test tomorrow morning but they've told me it will be Monday. I've got 26 follies and they're big! I can't wait for it to be over. I'm feeling very tender and bloated and tired. I gave myself my 1st needle last night which was much easier than I thought - it didn't hurt at all. It hurt less than when DH did it! So now I'm feeling confident about giving myself the trigger shot on Saturday night.
