Hi everyone,
Scooby - congrats on the ET, thanks for asking about Campbell. He has all of a sudden turned into a demon child. Waking up at 5am. So we put his new bed together and tonight is the first night in it. So far so good. It appears he has gone straight to sleep. Fingers crossed for a sleep in. He is only 17months and he looks so tiny in it.

Well as for me the jabbing is still going. I am finding the larger dose more painful not so much when i do it but later. They seem to be leaving a bruise. My ovaries are already getting sore so lets hope this time it wont take 25 days to get to trigger. BT on Monday.

Hope everyone is doing well. TL only two more sleeps to EPU I bet you are excited.

Had to share something from work today. Very funny story hope it gives you a laugh. I am a teacher and I teach year four. I had asked all the children to close their eyes and I read them a passage from a story. It was a decsription of a hot sunny day. The children were asked to think about the picture they could see in their heads about the story. I asked one of the children to share what they could see and she said Black with stars. I was a little confused and worked out she was looking at the back of her eyelids. That is what she could see.

Marsha: so sorry

take time and look after yourself and get physically and mentally ready for your next cycle. Look after yourself
TL: good luck for tomorrow, how exciting, hope you get lots of healthy happy little eggies!!!!
SAph: im soo sorry Campbell, have no idea where i got cooper from im just the worst with names, sorry. Oh its so exciting the big bed thing, jake was so proud of himself when he moved, and yes they look tiny in there!!! Sorry about the bruising, i bruised too and the nurses said after you inject press down on the injection site the same as when you have a blood test, for a few seconds, it seemed to help me. Good luck!! You must hear the most hilliarious things at school that age are just gold for funny comments and i guess you cant laugh too much or they get offended.
Hi to everyone else hope you have a great day
Well im off for some acupuncture to make sure this little one sticks and then maybe some retail therapy.

**tiggerlinda** · May 8th, 2008, 10:07 AM

Enjoy scooby

**mollygirl1977** · May 8th, 2008, 11:12 AM

Hi everyone

Well I have just signed onboard today so I am not 100% sure what I am doing just yet. Bear with me. Probably not the best day to start as I have just had my BT this morning following a Blastocyst tfr. But not feeling positive as I have had AF symptoms for about 3 days. (Does anyone else get that incredibly heavy, aching uteris feeling)

Will let you know the outcome when I get the dreaded phone call later today but am sure it will be a BFN.

Talk to you soon
mollygirl

**mollygirl1977** · May 8th, 2008, 12:18 PM

Hi Sushee

Sorry I should have left much more info you everyone. Really not very good at this yet. I have been receiving IVF treatment for 3 years now with no success. I have had 4 attempts at IUAI followed by 2 full IVF cycles and 5 frozen cycles.

Hope this creates a clearer picture for everyone!!!

***Paula*** · May 8th, 2008, 12:41 PM

Scooby best of luck and i really hope this one sticks so that you can start sharing lots of BFP vibes.

Marsha so sorry to hear AF arrived.

Tigerlinda good luck with your EPU. Cant wait to hear all about it.

Welcome Mollygirl. Hope you get some fantastic results real soon.

Nothing much happening on my end. Still jabbing and counting down to my first scan on Monday.

**tiggerlinda** · May 8th, 2008, 01:18 PM

Paula

with Scan on Monday hope the follies are nice and ready
Mollygirl:

and

with your BT today hope it is a BFP

**Janie71** · May 8th, 2008, 02:59 PM

Hi everyone! I've been AWOL for a few days as there is really not a lot happening on my front. Just counting down the days to my first scan, which will hopefully mean that I can start on the stims early next week. Feeling a lot better with my cold almost totally gone, but now I am starting to feel some side effects from the Syneral. I feel quite nauseous for about an hour after sniffing and have a nagging headache all day. From what I have read here... its all quite normal!

Mollygirl. Let us know how you go this afternoon with your results. I will have my

for you.

Paula, GL for Monday! I seem to be exactly a week behind you at the moment. I also am starting on 100iu of Puregon. Are you feeling more swollen on the higher dose (I'm assuming you did less for IUI)?

TL - GL for tomorrow! I'll have everything crossed that you gets lots of lovely embies out of it.

Scooby here are lots of

for your lovely little embie.

Marsha, I'm so sorry that things are not looking positive this month.

Saph, hope the jabbing is going well and the bruising is subsiding.

Anyone I have missed here is lots of

to you all.

Janie xxx

**saph204** · May 8th, 2008, 08:12 PM

Hi all,
Still plodding along. Injections seem to be going okay I realise if I hit a good patch of fat it does leave a bruise. So Lucky I have got lots of padding. Just one question has anyone eperienced joint pain when using puregon? I am assuming it would be fluid but I dont know realised know that it also happened last time. Amazing how second round you realise the effects the drugs have on your body.
TL good luck for tomorrow sweet I will be thinking of you.

Well hope everyone is doing well.

**mollygirl1977** · May 8th, 2008, 09:52 PM

**JBM** · May 8th, 2008, 09:55 PM
