[Baby2Bee]

Mrs P and Juniper: huge hugs to you both. Sorry you didn't get the result you were hoping for.

AFM: AF arrived yesterday.....i now have a month off before we look at defrosting the little ones! DH and I had a long chat to FS the other day and have decided to only transfer 1. We've got a nurses appt for July 1 to tell us all about frozen emby transfers and then it's a bit more waiting until next AF arrives! pfffffft just do it now already!!!!!!!!!!

Mindhugs - It may be a little late for this cycle but your FS should be able to prescribe Clexane which is a drug they use for people at risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis which is pretty much a clotting problem.. Do a search on Belly Belly and a reckon you'll find some interesting info.. Good luck...

And Good luck to everyone else cycling at the moment..

So CD 10 today.

I have gone from 100iu of puregon upto 150iu then a huge jump upto 225iu everyday

I have also started orgalutran 0.5ml everyday and pregnal 0.1ml every second day.

nothing much seems to be happening.

I had 10 follies (5 on each side)

with only 3 growing over 1cm.

I see the embryologist on Friday so they can make a decision on when to do pick up.

Also, is it normal to have EWCM right now?

Hope everyone is doing ok! and baby dust to all xxxx

Hi Ladies,

I had my FS appointment this arvo and things are looking promising. Got the results (and some pretty cool pictures) from my Lap. I will definitely be moving ahead with IVF next cycle, (down regulation) so will start synarel later this cycle. DH & I are just happy that things are moving and have something positive to look forward to!

Anyway I hope everyone is well and good luck to those undergoing treatment at the mo.

Hey everyone

Thanks for always being here. Sorry I don't write too often.

Emerald Star – I went for a scan today (day 8) but no dominant follies, although one on the right looks bigger (and that is useless to me as no fallopian tube on right) so they have suggested another scan on Monday to see which side is dominant to see if it is worth getting a Gonal F injection to stimulate the follies, and go ahead with IUI. So, depending on follies, it could be any day next week.

Mitf – thanks. I guess I just worry a lot about everything, and the thought of daily injections scares me, and also what if the doc doesn’t do it all properly to make you come back again, and pay thousands of dollars every time… Why can’t it just work first time? And why can’t we all just fall pregnant. It’s so unfair! Great news on the promising results

Midhugs – my friend has suggested something called Diabecin. It is more for diabetics, but is supposed to be good to help thin the blood. Speak to your doc about it – or try cinnamon based things, as cinnamon is supposed to be good for that as well

Has anyone done acupuncture? And do you continue it during your FS treatment (IUI / IVF?) I did it last cycle, and I guess there is no way to say it helped, but I had 2 good sized follies on Day 8, but I was too scared to continue with it after the IUI…
