saph - hope the garage sale went well and the rain eased up! We had one of those back in October last year, and although it was a lot of work, it was a lot of fun. It was DH's first experience with a garage sale as all they know about in the UK is car boot sales, so he was extra excited at the conclusion when we had gotten rid of a whole lot of stuff and had some cash for it! He got a bit obsessed there for a while - he kept wanting to have another one closer to when we moved and the house settled - I had to enforce the "No!" as one of them every once in a while is definitely enough, not another one after a couple of months! Hope you did well. Glad you have finished the Clomid, hun. I wish you lots and lots of luck with the remainder of your cycle.
Janet - happy to hear that the appointment with FS went wellIt all happens quickly once you get started, doesn't it? I remember going from having an appointment with my FS to get test results back for DH and I, and then straight into IVF the day of the appointment! Started on the pill that same day, as it happened to be day 5 (my clinic starts OCP day 5 of down-reg cycle), and then nurses talking to me about synarel, FSH, injections etc. the same day too! I'm so glad you feel comfortable with your FS and had all your questions answered, and that you're excited. You'll start to feel more confident with the treatment protocol as you go, and as you get used to each hormone. Make sure you ask us any questions you may have - we'll be here for you! I wish you lots of luck!

TL - hope you're having a relaxing weekend after a big week with the new job. It's all happening for you next week - I'm getting really excited for you!
Adele - I've been doing a little research on UK IVF clinics in the area where we will be settling, but any contacts you have over there who know about it would be great! Don't worry if it requires excavating on a large scale to find details though! Thanks for the offerHope you're having a lovely weekend, and relaxing before the sniffing starts on Tuesday. Very excited for you that you're starting your next round also! You and TL are cycle buddies!
Janie - hope AF is coming and going ASAP for you, so you can get started too - I'll waggle my finger at her to behave for you, if she's not careful! And as for the move, I will be posting a little less often when I first arrive, but I won't be going far from BB, and will be checking in regularly on how you and everyone is doing!
to Carla, plc (hoping you're ok with the halter monitor, hun), Paula, nev, illuminaughty, and anyone else who's in here lurking!
Had my ET this morning - all went well. Both embryos thawed with no worries, and they were both looking very good (Grade 1) and going on well . Embie #1 went from 5 cells to 9 at transfer, and embie # 2 (thawed later) went from 5 cells to 6, about to get to 7.
I have a very good friend with whom we have a joke that she is mine and DH's daughter, so she is viewing these embryos as her siblings, and has called one of them "sib" and the other one "ling", which I'm finding quite amusingFeeling relatively good about the TWW, as we'll have lots distractions in the next week and half until we get on the plane, and the BT 2 days after we arrive. Hoping all this will help the time go quickly!
Hugs and warm wishes,
Miss C
