Oh Pam, hang in there hun. Everything sounds really good atm. It's really hard waiting, isn't it? I'm glad you've got an early scan on Friday. That will help with less of a wait on that day.
I've had meltdowns on two consecutive days now (last night at bedtime... around 12am (ouch, poor DF!) and most of Monday after my first scan) - today has been better. The aside from the physical symptoms, these stims are pushing our emotions about like a flag in the wind (how's that? my first metaphor for BB! :P) Just got to keep hanging in there, and make sure you get DH to look after you tonight.
I hope you're ok, sweet.
Hugs :hugs:
nah - spoke to my chiro who also does accumpuncture, and he refused to take my money for accupuncture at this stage as he believes the evidence is split far too evenly to suggest it does or doesn't work (gotta love his honesty - have been seeing him as a chiro for 11 years...)
Hello everyone! Just wanted to pop in quickly to let everyone know that my scan yesterday went well and I trigger tonight ready for epu on Friday!! Woo hoo! After a false start it looks as though the increase in the pregnyl worked, thank goodness. Being first cycle and all I was really in the dark. The et is Wednesday, so that means I am having blasties put back in? Getting excited now.
Very best wishes for your EPU on Friday, Nicole! That's great news! Rest well before then! xo
Morning Everyone,
I have been MIA due to work but back on board now, although very very sleepy .. lots of long hours so far this week ...
Missy - a huge congrats hun and wow what a level that was !!! :dance: i am so happy for you hun and know how much this meant to you !!
Well a quick update from me and then I promise I will be back later on in the day ... I had my 2nd scan this morning and my right ovary has 10 follies all ranging from 13-18 and my left has about 7 follies on it again ranging from 12-18 ... they are just the larger ones that they have decided to count on, so I am hoping that trigger will be tonight and then EPU will be sat - this was the indication at the last results so hopefully it is coming soon !!! I figure by Sat most of the others will have grown that much more and be ready for the summer pool party ....
Anyway Im so sorry this is short and sweet but will be back ...
Hi to everyone hope you are all well ....
Melsta
Thanks miss c, like you say hormone related. Definately a flag in the wind, had a nice long bath with some LUSH bath products and felt heaps better. Just so worried!!!!
BG gotta love someone who is going to save you some$$$$$ and in the know...
Nicole good luck for EPU look forward to hearing great results over the next couple of weeks.
Hi everyone else hope you have a good day.
Melsta, congrats very nice numbers!!!!
Melsta - Congrats on the numbers
Nicole - Good luck for EPU
BD - thanks for the compliment
I am sure I have missed people but I will try to catch up :)
Had the Interview yesterday all went well hoping they say yes
looking good melsta! wow EPU on election day, are you going to do a pre-poll?
pam/BD and BG good luck with your scans tom.
nicole best of luck with your EPU
miss c - i hope your scan went well today.
TL well done on the interview.
kell, mel and everyone in the TWW GL!
mon, hows the syneral going?
hi to all
the brown stuff is apparently the crinone and it can be common side effect. disgusting stuff indeed it is still confusing me. i am just waiting to see what happens next. all HPTs are BFN so far.
Hi everyone, very quiet today!!
Had my BT today and my scan tomorrow, early. Praying for something, I can't feel a thing now. I have more pain leading up to O in an unassisted cycle???? Last IUI cycle I was very nausetated because my hormones levels were high I am on triple the puregon dose and have less symptoms. Oh well, only one more sleep until I find out the news...... I feel like I will cry whatever the result. I will drop in tomorrow late afternoon!!! Catch you all then.
BD - Don't worry I felt nothing last cycle
Good luck with Scans and BT's everyone
I got the Job!
well i got the results and no EPU on saturday. FS has decided to give the remaining eggs more time to grow/catch up to the other big ones so another b/t and u/s on saturday and then hopefully EPU will be Monday .... everytime I get things in order and think it is happening it is delayed again lol ... but he doesnt want to do it too early and miss some so I can understand and appreciate that ... so waiting again ... I feel like I am a rabbit and someone is dangling a carrot in front of me teasing me with it ....
However question: if i got told that EPU is b/w 18 and 20 and I already have eggs that are 18 does that mean that they will be too big then and I will lose them ... hmmm ..... *off to email the nurses on that right now*
My hormone levels are in the thousands now ?? Cant remember the exact figure but i was like woah when she mentioned it lol ...
tiggerlinda - woohoo TL - way to go !!! Congrats hun ....
Miss C - how did your scan go today hun, hope you are having a good day and not getting too nervous with only days to go !!!
blackduckies - thanks for the support - i feel more reassured when i read posts like that :D good luck for tomorrow hun ...
dusty - hope it all works out for you next week hun ... did they indicate how much longer you would have those side effects for ?
BG - wow I hope you get more news on Friday - those shots are so expensive !!
Nearly home time YAY ... so exhausted cannot wait to get home, oh but then dinner, cleaning up, lunches etc awaits me *sigh* our work is never done is it ladies ;)
BBL on tonight to see how everyone's day went ... looking forward to getting some positive news from everyone ....
Melsta
BD - Good luck for your scan tomorrow.
Dusty - I was also told that on the Crinone brown blood is fine because the applicator can sometimes scrape and so on and you can get a little discharge, they just said if it turns bright red then it is most likely not. :crossfingers: that you get some good news really soon!
Melsta - Hopefully they give you a day for EPU soon, its hard living each with a will it be wont it be kind of feeling... plus those massive hormone levels wouldnt be helping the stress.
TL - Well done hopefully now just to wait for the yes.
Timnik - Good luck for tomorrow.
BG - Hoping you get some good news at your scan tomorrow... ouch on the money for shots - as if the whole process isnt expensive enough as it is!
BW - Hope everything is starting to work itself out and your feeling ok.
Hi to everyone else, hope your all doing good :)
Tiggerlinda, thanks I hope that is the case for me and we get a few at least....Hope you love the new job.
miss c I will check tomorrow, I'm sure things went well for you but I hope it's WHOO HOO good!!!
Melsta, I believe the synarel will keep them at bay and let the little ones catch up. How it works???? I don't know but it seems too. They estimate they grow at 2mm a day, I was reading a bit last night and I found a site that said the biggest follies they had had were 35?? They would'nt let you go on if you were going to lose good ones.
BG good luck for tomorrow, I will be checking up to see how you went tomorrow night.
Dusty and Dusty's boy, best of luck for tomorrow hun, I hope it is implantation bleeding that you have experienced or the crinone. Hoping so hard it hurts that BOB has settled in..Hugs.
Mel thanks hun. What's happening with you??
Hi to you all, I hope I have good news tomorrow night.
Melsta - They did the same with me this time and all way ok with the big one
Hi everyone :)
Have to be quick today, although I would love to stay for much longer and send you more and much better personals...
TL - congratulations on your new job! Way to go!! xo
BD - Hang in there hun, you just have one more night to go before you know what's going on. You've been doing so well to wait for day 9 scan. I hope it goes really well.
Melsta - OOOOo! What wonderful follie numbers you have! Fantastic!! If your FS is letting them go some more it means they're confident that you can be safe to go for even more and get the most out of this stim cycle. Synarel will hold it all back until it's time! We're twins again, you and me, tell you what! Monday's going to be the day, I can feel it ;)
Dusty - I will be thinking of you and sending you all the wishes and hope I can possibly muster for tomorrow. Lots and lots of hugs.
Nicole - best of luck for EPU tomorrow - I hope you're doing well
Kell - Hope you're doing ok, love.
Mel1977 - How's it doing, hun? Hanging in there?
BG - lots of wishes for your scan being a good result tomorrow.
BW - haven't seen you in here for a couple of days - I really hope your ok, hun xo
ILs arrived safeky this morning from UK, although 2 hours late and minus all their luggage! Waiting for luggage to show up overnight.
Had my scan just before midday today, and all looks really well. I have 10 follies all up that the dominant, 13-14mm each (all a good even size, which is nice). It's confirmed - I will be triggering either Sat or Sun night, depending on when MIVF can squeeze me into their hectic schedule for EPUs. DF and I have indicated an extreme preference for Monday, as Tuesday EPU will mean Thurs ET (MIVF do 2 day transfers on you're first ever cycle) when we're due to head off to Tassie. I'll find out what day we're looking at tomorrow afternoon.
So, it's all going vvvvvery well! Much happier to know that we're back on track after a shaky start! Will be back later tomorrow to see how everyone is going.
Lots of hugs and thinking of you all, lovelies. Hope you're all doing well.
Miss C :hug:
erm... no... I'm not really ok.
I'm hyperstimulating again - badly! My levels now are higher than they ever were in my first cycle, and it's scaring me to death.
I'm still not sure when I'll get to EPU. Praying for Sunday rather than Monday.
I know I will not transfer with this cycle.
I know I'm going to get very sick. It seems likely that I will wind up in hospital this time.
But this seems to be my peculiar little battle to fight every time. I'm trying to focus on the fact that I've got through it before, I can get through it again, but I'm mostly paralysed by fear right now.
BG has a full time job on her hands talking me down, good thing she's on leave at the moment or I don't know what I'd do!
And yup, it's scary. I don't want to frighten people going through IVF for the first time. I'm an oddball, worst case scenario, walking disaster. And that's why I'm fairly quiet right now.
BW
Hi All!
OMG BW! I am so sorry to hear that. I know nothing I can say will make you feel better, but I really hope you find the strength to get through these next few weeks ok. I am sure you will, you come across as a very determined & strong willed person.
TL - congratulations on the new job! Do you start before or after xmas rush/break?
Miss C - You sound like wonder woman sometimes - organising a wedding, IVF, visit from the Outlaws (that's what I fondly call my IL's). Your wedding is actually my MIL's birthday! I remember planning our wedding, everything was ok till a month before when make-up & flowers cancelled & we had to find more! Aaaaaghhh! It all turned out to be a beautiful day, but I swear my DH & I have never fought so much as we did leading up the Wedding.
Quick blab on where we are at - saw FS today & am now organised for FET on about 19/12/07 (nothing like close to xmas!). I have to start Progynova about 3/12 then first scan will be 17/12, so crossing fingers New Years will bring happy times.
Take care all & will speak soon.
Hi all
I am a lurker in this thread and don't usually post but I would really like some advice...
I have just had my first IVF cycle cancelled after my EPU (last Friday) when they got 6 eggs but none fertilised. They said it should work next time with ICSI - always waiting!!
I feel like I haven't really had a chance for this cycle, it seemed like it was over before it began and I am wanting to go straight into another cycle before Xmas as we are going away for holidays and my next chance to do another stim cycle wouldn't be until end Jan/early Feb and I just can't wait that long.
My Dr has said that there are extra risks of OHSS and ovarian cysts doing back-to-back IVF stim cycles but I am still keen on taking a chance. Has anyone else done back-to-back stim cycles and been OK?
Would love to hear your opinions/advice on where I should be heading to now.
Thanks all and good luck to everyone....seems like there are quite a few EPUs coming up and quite a few on this forum doing IVF which I think is great.
Kate
Take care, BW.
Kate, a big welcome to you.
I can't offer specific advice on back to back stims so close together, but I would encourage you to consider the advice of your FS, as Jan/Feb is a slightly longer wait, but probably worth it in terms of risk minimisation. Plus, you want the best quality eggs possible.
ICSI should assist to some extent in overcoming the fertilisation issue.
I think Sushee will be able to offer you more specific advice (she knows everything, honestly :)). Keep your eyes peeled as I reckon she will have some things to say.
BW - Take Care and Look After yourself!
Miss C - Good #'s and enjoy the IL stay not long now till the wedding
Kate - Have not done back to back more due to money but my FS only wants 1 normal cycle before another stim
Kate,
I would be surprised if you get to do back to back stim cycles, as your hormones wlll not have a chance to level out and the clinic will not be able to ensure that your E2 has baselined. If you are wanting to start another down reg, maybe you'd be lucky to get your FS to agree, but that would mean a cycle after this next one, not immediately following this one. Even then it's 50/50 on whether they would be keen to do it. This is for your own well-being, even if it doesn't feel like it right now. The last thing you want is to not have an optimal cycle because your body hasn't recovered from the meds.
Another consideration is that many clinics close or operate on limited resources over Christmas, so you'll find many IVFers don't cycle then. I know how difficult it is to wait, I used to hate those 'rest' months with a passion too!
BW - I am so sorry you are facing the OHSS battle again, I really hope they can find the best way to keep it minimised :( Will be thinking of you.
Peta, wha a way to start the year that would be! All the best for a great cycle.
Melsta and Miss_c - all the very best for Monday, feeling good vibes for you!
TL - Well done, floss! Good stuff!
Good luck for all those scanning and stimming and embarking on EPUs.
I am 11dpo/epu today, and starting to feel that heavy feeling I always get about now signalling AF is on the way. I have really struggled emotionally with the 2ww this time, and in some perverse way, will just be glad when its all over, even if its negative. We'll try again in the new year if that is the case. BT not til mid next week, so a bit of a wait ahead still yet.
Kell, I felt exactly the same about just wanting it to be over.
Well today has been a disaster for me, cycle has been cancelled because I only produced 2 follies 19 and 23mm. I can't stop crying, not in a million years was I prepared for that, it had'nt been talked about. The US lady could'nt find my left ovary, she asked if I had one? When she found it she said I have fluid on it and my right ovary is pushed across towards the centre which is why I can feel them. So we are on our own trying naturally. I was so worried about the lack of BT and scans and for good reason it seems, although I don't know if anything could have been done to fix the problem. Just would have been easier on me if I had some kind of warning that things were'nt looking good. If we get another chance I will drive the 2 hours to Melb to get the extra care, which I am going to need.
I wondered if anyone can help with my first lot of stims I was on 75 and produced 7 follies but because it was an IUI cycle they triggered me when the biggest was 18 the others were 15,11,10,2x8 and 7. The second IUI my dose went to 100 and I produced 3 follies 2x21 and 20mm. This time they put my dose at 300 and I have produced 2 follies 19 and 23mm, I wonder if it is possible to do better on a lower dose and can your body just go into shock and stop working properly on the higher level? Or is it just down to me being ancient (in fertility years) 40 and my body just can't keep up. Can you deplete the egg supply or are they eggs you are going to lose anyway??? My FS is very nice but it makes it all cute and fluffy, I don't want that, I need cold hard facts as to whether to continue on!!! he either really believes he can get me BFP or he likes my money not sure which. Any advice ? personal experiences on levels of(puregon)and what was done to achieve success, much appreciated. No need to fluff it up, can't get much lower....
kel, the waiting is torture. i hope you get your dream come true.
BW, hun i am so sorry you are having to go through something like this again. i really hope they can salvage this for you and you can get your dream come true. mon and i were talking about the new in vitro maturation method for women with PCOS and the technology is coming to Australia. perhaps that may be something for you in the future if this doesn't work out for you. it is just so frustrating. i really hope it doesn't end up in hospitalisation for you.
pam, :hug: i posted in the other thread for you. i think you need a review of the protocols they used and perhaps the stims they used (were they different this time other than just quantity?). also they can tell from your first BT whether you will have a good chance at follie recruitment. if you are doing a flare cycle there is a level they test on day 1 (i think LH) and if it is under 15 there is a good chance for you. over 15 and they shouldn't bother going ahead that month. something to mention with your FS perhaps.
peta, i am glad things are moving ahead. GL with your appointment.
miss_c, things seem to be picking up for you. i hope you can make your tassy trip but IVF doesn't always allow for us to plan things in advance. i really really hope it works out the best for you.
mon, i have a good feeling for you this cycle sweetie.
hi melsta, deni, mel, BG, smithy, TL and anyone i have forgotten for the moment (sorry head is elsewhere)
i am out of this cycle. started bleeding last night big time. the BT today showed a 0 HCG so BOB wasn't meant to be this time. boy i have learnt that crinone really can play tricks with your mind all the pseudo symptoms i had. we thought it was over a couple of days ago so i am doing ok today, sad and a little angry. DH and i are going to have a break from TTC for a few months to work out where to next and maybe save a bit of money, loose a bit of these IVF kgs and enjoy life more. xmas seems to be looming this year. another one with the family and having to duck questions about us having a family. but we can deal with it.
i will be in to support you all and look forward to seeing you all move to the pg threads real soon.
xx
Dusty - tell me about the IVF kg's hopefully mine are starting to dissappear Hugs and I am here if you need me
Kell - Waiting seems so long I know hopefully this will be the one with a BFP
BD - Cancelled cycle I am so sorry hun
BW - Sorry you have to go through OHSS again.
Well I did it I resgined this moring start the new role on the 10th December may be the stress break I need for TCC.
hi wonderful ladies..
have been regularly reading all posts..
update frm my side:
Got AF yesterday, went for scan and blood tests.. also started Progynova tablets.. next visit on 30th Nov. hopefully, FET before 5th Dec. So far so good..
Hope to have a wonderful new year.. fingers crossed for all of us..
Praying and wishing all the best for all of us..
BD I am sorry, I think the shock of cancellation would be just devastating. Particularly if you are not informed it can happen :( I don't have any answers on the idea of egg supply etc. Its something I have wondered, but never asked.
Dusty - You are in my thoughts, I wish there was something I could do to make you smile - impossible I know. Take your time and look after yourself. Its a loss to grieve :(
TL - Heres to a fresh new start!!!
I have EPU news!
Trigger is tonight at 7pm. Collection is 8am Sunday.
I'm still in the danger zone - they are only using a half-strength trigger with me (one vial of powder), but with no puregon last night, my E2 level has dropped to 14300, the clinic is happy, I'm immensely relieved and transfer may just be on the cards again. Decision won't be made until EPU, I'm not getting my hopes up too high... I'm only a smidge below where I was first time. Maybe with less follies and less eggs we might get there, but I'm really not counting on it.
Pam, I'm so sorry your cycle was cancelled. I'm afraid I can't help with under response, I've got the opposite problem!
TL, hope the new job works out, congratulations!
Dusty, :hugs:. No words, I'm so sorry. :(
BW
Heavy spotting and cramping has started. Least I know, right? :(
Thanks girls,
BW I really don't know what would be worse, I'm feeling pretty ordinary at the moment. Glad they have controlled things for you (a bit). Good luck with trigger and EPU, I hope they can get you to transfer, but only if it's safe??
Baby Bliss, sorry hun, what a horrible emotional journey this can be...
Tiggerlinda, I bet you feel good, best wishes for a happier stress freeor at least less workplace hope it helps the TTC
Dusty thanks!!! I have saved your info and will be taking that on Monday, I am armed with another valuable snippet...
Wannababy, have a great FET cycle wishing you the best of luck.
blackduckie - sorry to hear about the cancelled cycle, I completely know what you mean about it being a shock and not being talked about, the same thing happened with me. (((HUGS)))
Kell - I really hope that you are wrong, I have everything crossed for you.
No update from me, waiting for our appointment with our embryologist on 10th Dec to discuss how IVM works, and then we start again in Jan/Feb depending on when AF arrives. I've been trying to not think about ttc at all, distracting myself with cooking and christmas and anything else I can think of, but I'm getting really frustrated over everything.
Kell - Maybe hun but I would call the clinic
BW - GL here is hoping for a good outcome
WB- GL for the FET
Thanks everyone for the congrats on the job I do feel better now
hi ladies (and slyder)
pam - i'm so sorry things haven't worked out for you this time hun - make the most of those nice ripe follies though hun - there's nothing to say you can't catch the eggie on your own...
i feel a little guilty posting this after your news this morning, but thought i would update everyone on my progress:
right ovary - 28 follies, 1 at 15mm, 1 at 14mm, 10 between 10 and 13mm
left ovary - 31 follies, 1 at 15mm, 10 between 10 and 13mm
stress levels were shocking - i've seen what BW is going through, had no E2 levels to run a comparison to... very scared little vegemite - and the prospect of potentially waiting til after 6 to hear from the clinic...
thankfully, it only took about 4 hours for them to get back to me! E2 levels are only 2629! woo hoo - EPU is slated for Tuesday - trigger on sunday night (at 11.30pm) woo hoo!!
to everyone else, a huge hi - sorry for the lack of personals
BG congrats. Sounds like lots of snow babies with those numbers. Don't feel guilty, I wish you the best of luck, you know my situation a baby would be fantastic news for me but if it does'nt happen I will be very sad; but will survive. Unfortunately age is against us (me and DH) wish we had got on to it sooner!!!!
Look forward to hearing great results over the next few days. Hugs to you and DH and heaps of good luck.
Thanks BecD!!! Don't feel so alone when someone can relate. Good luck for the new year.
Hi everyone.
So much has happened to people since yesterday. I'm feeling all sorts of emotions for the news I heard in this thread today.
Pam I'm so sorry to hear your news. I can hear the shock you're feeling in your words. It was completely unexpected. Please take care of yourself, and make sure you and DH look after each other :hugs: You can be straight and down the line with your FS. You need to be. Tell him you would like to talk the straight facts through with him in detail, and you can ask him all the questions you've written here in your earlier post. I'm thinking of you heaps, hun. Many hugs.
Kell hun, I feel for you. I know we all do. It's an absolute nightmare having to wait and you just want to know what's going on and have an answer either way. Make sure you have an outlet for that frustration - I've always found cooking and believe it or not housework to be an excellent venting forum :) ...and we are always always here for you to vent the frustration of waiting if you need :hugs: Are you on crinone or pregnyl at all? My thoughts are with you lots and lots xo
BW oh, Butterfly Warrior, you are exactly that. Hang in there, and we know you are continuing to keep fighting despite your body's protestations. I have every hope and wish that you get through the next couple of days without serious problems. Please be well :pray:
Dusty I can't say anything, love, just offer you many, many cyber hugs :hugs: You make sure you absolutely do what you need to do to look after yourself and DH first, ahead of dealing with the rest of your family. xo
Kate Welcome to BB, Kate. I'm really sorry to hear about your cycle. I can imagine the grief makes the need to keep moving on and forward with the next step incredibly important. Please take care of yourself. Your health is the most important thing, so that you are in the best position possible for the next time. I really hope the wait goes as quick as possible - Christmas and a holiday are excellent distractions for making time at least stop standing still :)
TL Go you! Resigning is hard, and now you're ready for the next step and a new start. Perhaps this will be the new start that signals everything ready and in place for success in TTC xo
Wannababy what a great start! FET soon! Full steam ahead!
BG brilliant news! The stress of not knowing how your body is responding to now must be a killer - there's so many ladies and partners going through that right now. E2 is under control - brilliant!! Very happy for you and I hope the next few days go smoothly for you :hug:
Peta Congratulations on the fantastic news that you're all set to start, hun. We're hoping for a BFP for you to usher in the new year! What a great thought! xo
I have to go to the Eye & Ear hospital in Melbourne tonight - I've had a terribly awful blocked ear for all of this week (been ignoring it with all the other IVF and IL and wedding stuff happening) and now the tinnitis is extreme and it's driving me bonkers after 6 days, plus I think the ear is getting infected as it's become very painful. My GP has advised me to go there - apparently they will suction it to unblock it at the hospital and that should relieve it. Will probably have to wait for a few hours first. Can't do things in halves - must have other stupid and annoying crises going on with everything else... :dunno:
Received confirmation today that EPU will be on Monday for me - I trigger tomorrow night - will know what time in the afternoon. Feeling very bloated and feel like I'm waddling around with tennis-ball-size ovaries. Very excited - one step at a time yet, though. Best to be calm and not expect to much... trying to, at least.
I'm so proud of the strength of everyone here. It makes me want to just get on and deal with whatever happens next when I see how people are managing and dealing with things that have happened to them. You are all very special, brave people, and you inspire me.
Many hugs,
Miss C
Miss C - congratulations on the good numbers there, I wish you the best of luck
BW - Wowzers you do have a hard time of it all, but :crossfingers: that it all goes well for you and EPU is a breeze.
TL - What an exciting time for you preparing for your new job - good luck with it all and hopefully it will be a welcome distraction for you.
KateY01 - Welcome, sorry its only my first cycle so I have no advice to offer you about back-to-back stims.
Babybliss - sorry to hear the witch is coming, thinking of you. :(
Blackduckies - I feel as though we were in the same situation (sort of) they didn't really do any bts or measuring of levels for me either. I went in on the Friday and follies were all growing as they should be (100 puregon) then the following Monday another scan shows they had vanished! No one (even FS, seemed to be able to give me a good reason why). They upped my puregon to 250 and let me go for 8 days then another scan and I had a good number of follies growing back. It's all very stressful and I am not one to hassle the clinic all the time for information but if you feel as though you are not getting the right amout of information - call them. Thinking of you :hug:
Briggsy's Girls - that's great numbers - good luck. :clap:
I had my EPU this morning at the crack of dawn, all went well (I think). They got 5 eggs but not sure of the quality yet. The lab will ring tomorrow to let me know how many fertilise (we are doing ICSI) and what quality they are. The lab technician said they give it to you straight as to how they are going they don't fluff around to preserve your feelings. I like that, my FS is a bit the same. Would rather know the cold hard facts even if it's bad news. So for now a waiting game, we are trying to grow them to blasties but just have to wait and hear how they go first. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. I feel as though friends and family listen to all my babble but aren't really interested whereas here it is genuine interest and support and I really appreciate that.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
