    Hi ladies, thanks for your kind comments to me....

    sorry for no personals just now, but wanted you to know I am following all your progress and hoping so much these cycles bring success... and that you are hanging in OK..it's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster.

    afm- day at a time...getting there...regaining some strength and hope as I go along. And dealing with the bad days.

    hi girls

    just a quickie update from me - i'm sneaking back to my FS today for a scan as I'm certain I'm about to O. I'm going to get his final opinion about whether we can still do a FET this month or whether he's firm that we should wait till next month. Fingers crossed I can go ahead this month...I know I'm impatient, but i thought there was nothing to lose in getting FS's 2nd opinion...

    Hope all's well

    Hi Girls

    Yay for you Smithy, no nasties hanging around.

    I think I have a dreaded UTI at the moment (I am highly suseptible to them) after my scan on Monday. The chicky who did the scan was new and was poking around there for like 1/2 hr and kept pushing on my bladder.

    I'm hoping it will not get too bad as I have another scan on Friday and then hopefully transfer on Monday. Keep up the fluids and Urals and hopefully lots of peeing to get rid of the nasties. Really the last thing I need at the moment.

    Hope everyone else is going well. Sorry still no personals, I'm still really grumpy at the moment and over it... Must be the drugs (hopefully).....

    hi girls

    smithy - glad to hear you're feeling better. hope the TWW is going well!

    possums - very much thinking of you.

    bub4me - very best of luck for your EPU tomorrow. try to keep positive, just think that you are one step closer

    wishingbaby - damn, that is very frustrating. i hope you managed to get hold of her??

    sunflowers- hope your EPU went well today!

    mrs m - glad to hear things are possibly improving with your dad.

    KellyD - hope the UTI goes away and good luck for Monday

    AFM - some good news today, I'm having a last minute FET on Monday - yippee! But sheesh, it pays to be pushy, had I not gone back to the FS for another nudge I would have been waiting about another 6 weeks before my FET. Yay, hopefully this is my cycle

    Hi everyone..it's been a while since I popped in when I had some time to post! But I have been reading and trying to keep up to date with you all.

    Mels, great news on the last minute FET. At least there hasn't been a long wait from one cycle to the next. A lovely surprise. Good on you for being a little pushy.. sometimes we have to be!

    Bub4me and Sunflowers, hope your EPUs went well today and you're both resting at home. Keep drinking the water... I had to force myself to drink my 2L a day but I honestly believe that is what saved me from OHSS after my stim cycle (22 eggs).

    Wishing baby, hope you have been able to catch your FS and sort out what your next step is.. you must be so frustrated.

    Wouldloveabubba, lucky girl on holidays! Hope you're having a relaxing time.

    Smithy, my fingers and toes are crossed for you in this tww. Glad to hear you're feeling more comfortable.

    JBM, best wishes for your FET this month. Hoep the massage helps to relieve some tension and you're feeling better soon.

    Neptune, I always found my temp charts a little over the place. Good luck with yours.

    Kelly, FET and a new house.. what a busy month! I'm a big fan of Ural to get rid of UTI. Hope you're feeling better soon too.

    Possums, thinking of you..

    HI to Mrs M and anyone else I may have missed. Hope you're all going well.

    My first BT is not until next thursday in prep for a FET this month.. Still a little while to wait. I'm so impatient!! Enjoy what's left of the week. I spent last weekend trying to get pressies organised for Christmas.. sad isn't it??! But I told DH I need to get organsied now because I don't want to be stuck trying to shop in crowds with morning sickness looming... doesn't hurt to think positive, right!!

    Talk soon

    What an emotional day! Are you guys generally emotional after EPU? I feel drained, but trying to relax and take care of myself. I was devestated yesterday when I found out they only got 6 eggs out of the 16-18 follies they estimated at my scan. Got a phone call this morning to say that only 1 fertilised. I was upset by the number, but not sure why. We're only getting 1 transferred at a time, so all-in-all this is a positive cycle, we just don't have any to freeze that we can use as back up, which means back onto sniffing and jabbing for me. I guess we just do what it takes to get there, right? We're heading up this afternoon to see it, and I think that will be good. We were s'posed to have the transfer on Monday, but they've brought it forward to tomorrow afternoon, and I think I'll feel better once bubs is in me and can do its thing. DH has been concerned about the freezing part (altho' happy to do it for the BFP), so am trying to think that this is natures way of reassuring DH and still giving us a healthy embie.

    Have lots of tears today, but am trying to stay positive and look towards taking care of myself and focussing on the positive part of tomorrow.

    Hope you gals are going well in your stage of this rollercoster!

    to us all!

    sunflowers- well done...good results for you...and I hope this cycle brings you your BFP

    bub4me- it is an emotinoal time...ivf is so much strain and tension, i think things build up. It only takes one! I'd say you will feel a bit better after the ET


    smithy- good luck in the 2WW!

    MrsM- hello and hope you are doing OK and that things are perhaps improving with your dad

    kaydee- you're very organised for xmas! impressive.... hope your FET arrives soon


    Mel- great news with the FET planned for monday! maybe a xmas present early for you

    Kelly- hope you are feeling a bit better

    JBM- hope you are well and your spirits are lifted a bit

    jodie- hello, wishing you the best

    afm-- well trying to track ovulation using OPKs this month, in the hope of trying with a natural cycle in case of a miracle, before we resume IVF. I think things are a bit out of whack though after the D&C. Still wish we were already able to resume IVF, even though I know the time out is probably something I need right now emotionally.

    Still pretty emotional and up and down after all that's happened. I cry when I see babies quite a bit etc... other times I feel really angry and bitter about it all. But I also have moments of happiness and hope in my life, so that's a start.

    sunflowers and bub4me - congrats you girls on getting through your EPUs and getting to ET stage! drink loads of water!

    bub4me - it is a really emotional time. good on you for being so positive about your 1 beautiful embie - remember, it only takes 1 to get a BFP.

    I'll look forward to riding the TWW rollercoaster with you girls from Monday after my FET.

    Here's hoping a pre-christmas BFP for us all!

I just want to give you a big ((HUG)))) stay strong ... live today to the fullest and let tomorrow fend for itself .. ttc can rob you of so many years xo GOODLUCK!!!
