Just a reminder to all: all LTers love seeing a fellow LTer achieve that longed-for BFP, and we all find hope in one of our own having success in this difficult journey. But please remember that there are those who cycled with you who may not have received good news at the end of their cycle. Please do not post baby/child/pg tickers or pg related signatures (eg blinking BFP icons) etc in this forum out of respect for them.

As it's easy to forget to remove your ticker, please be advised that we will remove it for you if it's posted in here. Just easier, is all.

Had my clinic appt this morning and things are moving along nicely. 5 follicles at 1mm and 18 less than 1mm. While it doesnt sound great, that's actually a huge achievement for my body. My dose will probably go up tho, just waiting on the call from the nurses. EPU looks like being Friday or Saturday next week

On a side note - I have track marks all over my stomach from the injections, Murray has started calling me 'his little junkie'!!!!!

TL - Iam so sorry sweetheart. Researching options is a great idea. what I am doing at the moment.
Just got back from clinic. Scan showed that the biggest follicle is still 13mm same as before even after the increase in dosage. Went straight to Chiro from clinic and he made adjustments to my pelvis so lets hope this helps even with the discomfort. Scan showed lots of little follicles I finally asked if this was why i was so uncomfortable and of course they said yes. So just waiting for the call from the clinic. I am so over all of this.

Hi Everyone,

Well my EPU is now confirmed for Monday, so trigger will be tomorrow.

Here's hoping that there will be lots of healthy eggs in those 17 follicles!

I know... I seem to be all over the place at the moment.... back and forth from thread to blog to nothing to thread.... I m leaving I m staying... I m all over the bloody place.... welcome to my head...

I ve had a bit of a wake up call tonight...... THANK YOU MISS C

So here I am. Part of me wants to put the whole TTC behind me... just say nooo too old... done my bit... have my 2 teenage sons.... etc... but the more I pushed that thought through the more pain I felt.

So this is where my head is at now..... I m not ready to do another IVF cycle..... BUT.... i m just not ready to give up either. So I suppose I linger for a while... wait for the herbs to help hubbys swimmers and maybe go with IUI.

SO I suppose this is my new home..... mind if I bring in a few things to make my stay comfy

Morning All,

ET this morning...Bring on the 2 little blasties!!

Angel Babies- Welcome...bring in as much as you want with you!! Goodness knows I have. I wish you all the best for what you decide. I've told my DH I'll keep going with TTC until I feel I can. I definately won't stop before and I won't keep going when I've just had enough..but until then, I'll keep plodding along. Such a hard decision though. How do you ever stop when what is in your heart is a baby, and for you an addition to the family? It's a really tough call. I think though that to even have the strength to TTC and to be on this website offering and receiving support means that we are strong women and we keep facing hurdles and setbacks to achieve our dream. So all the very best. I'll be here for you too.

I'll be joining the TWW thread later today..excting but also for me a bit scary, with reminders of the past. BUT will be still lurking round here making sure my friends are doing ok.

So to all have a good day,

HUgs Bel

**saph204** · May 29th, 2008, 05:56 PM

Well update on the clinic. Rang them first thing this morning because I didn't even know how much puregon to take today. The reason they didn't ring was because they had lost my BT results. So quickly had to go and have a blood test this morning. Then got a phone call from the pathology for yesterdays results. It has all turned out okay in the end I am almost about the have my LH surge so another blood test tomorrow.

Evening TTC buddies,

Hope everyones day has been good. Today is DH's birthday so I've been showering him with love!

Have had such terrible pain today. Feel like I have gas trapped up to my ribs. Called the clinic and was told this is normal, from having swollen and bruised ovaries. Have started on a lovely laxative to help things along!!

Great news on my embies. All 11 have divided overnight. 8 are 4 cells and 3 are 2 cells so transfer is definately on Monday now. Will find out in the morning how the little ones went overnight.

Smithy- Good luck for EPU tomorrow. Will be waiting to hear how you go.

Saph- I'm glad you finally have everything sorted out with your clinic. I would have been FUMING! I don't know how you held it together with them but all my respect goes to you for dealing with such a hard situation so well. I'm thinking of you.

WishingBaby- Good luck with everything. Make sure you hang around here with these amazing supportive ladies.

Meredith D- I am so so sorry to hear of your loss. Unfortunately like so many of us here, I know what you are going through. For me after my losses the best thing was to keep moving forward and focusing on the baby I so desire. I hope I can be of some support to you.

Janet- Stay strong. I'm sorry to hear of your BFN. Look after yourself and get your strength up again and move forward when you are ready to.

Sorry if I've missed anyone and welcome to all the new ladies.

Hugs Bel
