Hi Ladies,

Firstly welcome to all the new girls to jbub, dellydoo, brownbug and bubwishes hope things goes well for each of you ...

bubwishes - so sorry to hear about everything you have been through hun, i have been reading your posts and wish you nothing for the best but you have some sound advisors in here hun ....

dellydoo - go those vitamin levels ... just think what a nutritious playground you will be providing !! Good luck for the b/t tomorrow although I hope that you get your EPU. To sound as relaxed as you are is a great thing and more power to you as the more relaxed youc an be the better for your body ...

Mel1977 - congratulations hun that is the best news and here is hoping that the little one/s continue to stick and head home ... for you and I am sure that you are over the moon ....

Miss C - how are you today after EPU hun? Good numbers there for you hun and I was the same I was in semi straight position all day but I vomited in recovery from the drugs, good luck for Wed and I hope that the phone call brings you another step closer to your dream hun ...

dusty - am i brave or silly for going through it without GA thanks for the thoughts though and without scaring the ones who are yet to hit EPU, when that needle went in I thought I was going to lose it .. i just had to keep looking at the follies on the monitor to focus and breathe through that pain ....

BD - you are not out of the running yet hun ... your FS said today that you have no problems with eggs so that is one main thing you need hun and who knows without the constant stress and control of an automated cycle, your body is less stressed so hey having BFP naturally is not out of reach ... good luck with it all though and I hope that you get all the answers you need and an outcome of a BFP before Feb xoxo

BG - WOW hun congrats on those numbers that is a great result ... definitely make sure that you take it easy and keep those fluids up - the never ending water / gatorade ****tail hasnt ended yet !!

TL - how are things going for you? Not long now until the new job starts hun ... are you getting more and more excited?

Slyder - hey there how are you and your DW doing? Good job on keeping us chatterboxes updated and organised with all the new threads !


Well I am at home early still feeling a little ordinary, but our clinic rang this morning to say out of the 13 eggs at EPU, 10 have shown signs of fertilisation ... am stoked with that result and all of the quality looks good .. I joked with DH that there was a hell of a "follies pool party" going on last night as we got here to this stage without ICSI ... which considering my DH MI factor we are so happy with ....

I have to have a follow up b/t Friday and providing all goes well, I get to play cocoon mama and have the little one to protect on Saturday at some stage ... so i have been given strict instructions to take it easy and drink LOADS of fluids as my hormone levels were pretty high before EPU so have to take it easy ....

And ... tomorrow morning I start Crinone twice a day .... lovely ... for some silly reason I was ok with having more injections but nope, we are on the gel ....

Hi to anyone else I have missed and hope everyone is feeling ok ...

This forum has and will continue to be my lifeline on this weird but wondrous journey so I just want to say a big thanks to everyone, not only for your advice and thoughts, but the manner in which everyone can be so supportive of each other and so welcoming to the newbies ... you girls rock ... !!

Melsta xoxo
