To everyone else on this glorious journey

Well AF arrived for me on Friday and i called the clinic. They asked me to go in today and have a BT and i just got a call to say all is good to start Puregon tomorrow. They are putting me on a dose of 100iu and start monitoring from Monday and every second day after that. I cant wait to start the jabbing tomorrow I must sound like a psycho but i actually dont mind the injections!!

Hope you are all doing well and not suffering too much Monday-itis like me Have had a horrible headache all morning.

I'm a newbie around here. I just started my first stim cycle with Synarel. Today will be day 2 of Gonal-H injections, with a scan and BT scheduled for the 23rd. DH has gone to bed ill, so I will have to give myself the jab--not a problem though.

I'm just really tired from the Synarel and on top of all that, we've just moved house this past week and I cannot imagine better exhaustion practice than all of this. I made the comment to DH that babies don't let you sleep well either, and he just grinned. So, I'm just waiting for the next set of side effects and hoping we get a good set of eggs for the ICSI (DH has sperm deficiency). And I hope I can get used to sleeping in a new house soon! I hate waking up at strange noises.

Hey Girls,

It feels like ages since I last posted, however in reality it's only been a week or so, man time drags................

Rustybeth

Anyway hope all is well with everyone, it's all really happeneing now.

AF finally arrived for me on Monday (Day 1) and I have a scan booked for Tuesday (Day 9) to see if I have a dominant follicle, so we can go ahead with our Natural FET. My last FET was cancelled because I didn't ovulate last month, but FS asures me it's from my March hyperstim.

I cant seem to relax GROW follicle GROW!

Hi ladies,

I hope it's OK for me to post in here...we are LTTTC and I have been mostly hanging out in the TTCAML thread since my miscarriage, but we are now cycle tracking, doing progesterone pessaries to lengthen my short luteal phase and probably IUI next month. But I am the only one in TTCAML doing all of this and find myself needing to talk to someone about blood test results etc etc.

Since my m/c my cycles have been very erratic, so we decided to see an FS, who suggested cycle tracking to start with becasue there is no obvious reason for the strange cycles. Last month tracking went well, I Oed on day 12, but this month I am on day 16 today and still waiting to O. My E2 levels have been up and down for the last week - so frustrating and very hard on my arms having blood taken every day.

So I was hoping it would be OK to join in here even though we are only "semi-assisted" at this stage?

Congratulations White Lotus!! Thats great news! There has recently been a few BFPs announced in the TWW thread as well. Hope you have a happy & healthy pregnancy.

Hi and welcome Megsmum, I'm sure you'll get the understanding and support you need in this thread.
