Well it's been a few weeks since I've posted, so I have a lot to catch up on. I've had a rather busy and emotional time of things lately, which is not even related to TTC. My grandmother died last week, so flew interstate to be with my family for the funeral. It had been a long time coming but was still really hard to deal with emotionally when it actually happened. In the midst of all of that, the house that DH and I have been building was finished, so I've been madly trying to organise the move, which will be next week.
Now onto all things TTC... I did a FET this cycle, but it was medicated with Gonal-f, so FS had control over my ovulation. Funnily enough, I responded really well (was only Gonal-f 75 IU), but I ended up with 5-10 follicles (probably only about 4 of those ended up being mature by the time of ovulation though). What's weird is that we didn't even care about the follicles though, as that's not what we were focused on. So they triggered me and when I ovulated, DH and me DTD anyway (just to give ourselves the best chance of falling pregnant).
Then today we had embryo transfer and I had 2 x day 5 blasties put back, which the embryologist said had thawed beautifully. Also did acupuncture before and after transfer for good measure. The way I see it, I have now done absolutely everything I can possibly do to give myself the best chance of falling pregnant. Now it's up to the gods (and believe me, I'll be doing a whole lot of praying).
Sorry for the long post so far, but also wanted to try a few personals (sorry if I miss people but it's been a while since I've been on, so not 100% sure where everyone's at).
Congratulations to Coral, Airline and LondonMiss for their recent BFPs. I hope everything goes well for you all.
Big hugs to StarBright, Meg and Paula for your BFNs. It is absolutely crushing to get that news, but I hope you are all able to find comfort from all the girls surrounding you on BB with their support.
MHIC - I think you are scheduled for your ET tomorrow, so I have my fingers crossed for you that the PGD and ET goes well.
Emerald Star - hey chicky how are you? It's been a while. I hope your FS appointment (next week I think??) goes well and that AF turns up soon so you can start your next cycle. Fingers crossed for lucky number 3. Oh, and please add me to your 'list' of people awaiting results (at this stage my BT is due Monday 16th Nov).
Nix - hi to you too. I'm also hoping for lucky number 3 for you. Good luck with the cycle (that synarel is awful isn't it?).
Hi to all the familiar names - Loops, Juniper, Mrs P. Here's hoping we're not in here for much longer girls.
And hi to all those I don't know so well yet - Terry, Rob, on tra_k, Butterfly83, Leabie and Baby2Bee. I hope your stay here is a short one. I truly hope I haven't missed anyone, but I sincerely apologise if I have.
Well I think this post is way long enough by now. Sorry if I've taken up so much of your time reading this, but there was just so much to catch up on. Will try and stay more up-to-date from now on.
