    JodieC65 and Bel, thanks for your replies. I am bit surprised about the trigger for a FET but I'm just hopeful that we have a good thaw and beautiful embies on board.

    Bel - so exciting to hear about your embies. I also had swollen ovaries (19 egss with borderline OHSS) and found that heat packs helped ease the pain, I also ate bags of freckles which seemed to help as well Good luck for Wed.

    Happy thoughts for everyone else.

    Wow Bel - what great results! 8 fert is a great result Am keeping everything crossed that things continue to go well for you.

    I'm back after a bit of an absence. AF arrived over the weekend and I feel strong enough to try another FET cycle. The last month has been a rollercoaster with being diagnosed with depression, going on meds and just dealing with life but am slowly learning to take one day at a time.

    Hello all!

    BecD - glad to hear you are starting to feel a bit more on top of things...and YAY for your next FET!

    I can't remember enough to do anymore personals... sorry.

    AFM - Our 5 eggies, 4 were mature, 3 fertilised and when we rang yesterday they were developing nicely - 2 x 4 cell and 1 x 5 cell. I'm going to work today - : ( but DH is staying at home - it's been emotionally draining for us over the past few days. I can't wait to get my next embie update this morning. : )

    Good morning all,

    Ruth- Hi my friend. The little ones are going great. Looking forward to your update this morning too. I hope you and DH are both ok after I know what must have been a stressful weekend. Take good care.

    Bec- So glad to see you back here and really happy to hear that you are feeling strong enough to do another FET. Make sure you lean on us when you need to. Have been thinking of you.

    Will chat to you all soon. My sis is driving me home now as DH is on his way home.

    Have a good morning,

    Hugs Bel

    Hi Ruth, looking forward to hear some good news about your embie report. I have to agree that this is the most nerve-wrecking time for me usually as well, its like hearing a verdict after all these time jabbing and EPU etc...I hope you are having a good result.

    Bel hun, so glad to hear that your go that many eggs fertlized. Hope the little ones keep growing and one of them is your baby soon.

    Hi to everyone else.

    Hi Everyone

    Bel - Good luck for WED transfer, I am actually going in tomorrow for my EPU. My last scan last thursday revealed 16-18 eggs. My first cycle I got 20 eggs so I am feeling for you post EPU. It bloody hurts!!! Oops don't wanna scare any-one. Scheduled for transfer on Thursday. We will have the dreaded TWW to go through together. Keep me posted.

    LMB - Sorry, not able to help you on the trigger issue. After reading so many threads, it's amazing how different people's experiences are. Quite bizarre really! I am sure they know what their doing and the results will show that soon. With my FET, I just waited til natural ovulation occured and two days later scheduled for transfer although the frosty bubs didn't make the thaw.

    Millymoo: I have my fingers crossed for you. Tell AF to take a holiday for 9 months.

    Smithy - Keep up the sniffing, It's all worth it. It made me feel like a druggie...lol... I told everyone I had the flu... Things we do hey?

    Wouldloveabubba - May this be your first and last IVF cycle. Bring it on!

    I am sure good news is around the corner for all. It's not a matter of if, just a matter of when!!

    Hi girls,

    Glad to see so many of us underway with treatment. Good luck to wouldloveabubba on your "drugs"!

    I'm scheduled for transfer of a blastie on Wednesday - we are hoping and praying that at least one of our 3 make it to then! I'm still feeling tired and blurk. I've started on the crinone gel - how lovely. NOT!

    hi girls
    it has been great reading all your news.
    Bel, Ruth, Babydreamtime - my fingers and toes are crossed for your transfer.
    Yvette - good luck with your EPU
    21 - any news on the HPT?
    wouldloveabubba - best of luck for your jabbing. just think of it as one step closer with each jab.
    milly - sending you sticky vibes! fingers are crossed for you.

    AFM I've managed to crawl out of the sad hole I've been in since my BT results on Friday. AF still hasn't really visited and I have to get another BT tmrw to make sure the HCG levels have lowered so I can do a thaw cycle this month. Gee, I can't wait for the day when I'm not counting weeks and days until my next HPT / BT... I really feel like I've wished the last 2 years away...
    Very best to everyone I haven't mentioned.

    Well done Mels on your crawl out of the black hole! Welcome to the light! I hope that you can continue to get more positive for your next thaw.

    21 - you must have an iron will to not test! Well done girlfriend!

    I just got my embie update and all 3 of our little ones have made it to morula stage! Woot! All our friends have been praying so hard.


    I'm on the crinone gel and I'm getting a bit cramping - kinda like pre AF - has anyone else had this - is it normal?

    thanks ruth - it certainly helps having the support of all you girls. i'll def be positive by the time the thaw comes around.
    ...and can I just say that crinone gel is evil stuff. i did totally have AF symptoms whilst using it (espec at the start).
