Hi Girls
Well I survived today only I felt really bad when I went to the clinic. They didn't seem too happy to see me after the cr4p I have pulled over the last week, but maybe they were just having a bad day. So I am now waiting patiently for AF (should be here anytime, I feel so sick in my tummy although being that I haven't had one for so long I don't really know the signs ) then on Day 2, I start taking 3 x progynova tablets each day & nothing else. If this works properly my lining should be perfect by about Day 16. If not, it would seem I have another problem to work with. I don't know girls, I just don't think my heart is in this at all anymore. As much as I want kids, I keep thinking maybe this wasn't meant to be my calling. Just having a hard time dealing with it all at the moment I guess. I think I'm at the stage I don't want any more negative results, but I want some kind of formal resolution. Do any of you know what I am on about? Am I totally crazy?
Shel sorry to hear of your BFN, I am glad to see that you are ready to move on to the next step (& able to do so).
Paula you crack me up! Fancy being that excited by AF. I hope you sleep alot better tonight!
Hope the rest of you lovely girls had a nice day! Take care all.

Peta you are not crazy at all. I can totally understand what you are saying. But i dont think you should give up. Maybe you do need a break. Just to get your mind around things and get your heart back in it. I wish you all the success in the world for this cycle.

Well i have all my goodies in the fridge and waiting for Monday to come around so i can start injecting. I am really looking forward (as i have said in every other post...lol) to starting this new journey. I am also booked in for a BT next Friday (Good Friday) at 8.30am, rather early for a public holiday.. no sleep in for me!

How is everyone doing today? Its been awfully quiet in here.

Evening ladies,

Janie - thanks for the thoughts. You're so right about this site. My DH read it with me tonight & could see how useful all the suggestions are & I finally don't feel alone anymore. Thanks gals!

Tiggerlinda/Belle - Thanks for all the water recommendations. Although I?m 2kgs heavier & spending alot my time at the loo, I?m hoping it will make a difference.

Peta - Don't panic about the staff's reactions today. I went into a full panic attack last Friday when the nurse (Claire) wanted to give us a trial run of the Puregon pen(Maybe this is where I should mention that petrified doesn't begin to explain my fear of needles). Claire was ready for the brown paper bag and decided to tell us of all the different patients and emotions they deal with everyday. It's normal for you to feel like this. I fully understand how you feel right now. Between the emotions, people's "helpful" comments/questions & dealing with the needles daily, I really don't know how people can do this for years.

Paula - It's great you're excited but I hope you get more sleep. I had my first appointment with the clinic last Friday to do the first BT and collect all of our supplies (as we're using a remote clinic to avoid so much travel for the BT & Ultrasounds). Claire showed us how to prepare the pen then once they dialled it back to 0, they injected it into my stomach to show us how it was done, without the FSH. Monday's my 1st BT & if all goes well EPU will be Good Friday! I?ll be thinking of you.

BecD/Kyles68 - I agree, I found the needle it's self doesn't hurt but I can feel the liquid under the skin, which hurts some nights & others - not at all (especially with the ice & keeping it out of the fridge for a while)

Baby Bliss - Thanks for the ice suggestion. It really made a difference tonight. Good Luck for tomorrow!
