Hi everyone,

Bel my lovely friend, thanks so much for the PM and for thinking of me. I have been thinking of you too, and am so happy all is going great for you. What fabulous news ? great embies, wow, 9 and 10 cells already. They must be strong ones. Sounds you have a perfect batch, and to have almost all that were fertilised continue to grow so strongly. This must be the month for you!

Curlygirl - Welcome and good luck to you too. Hope things go well for this cycle.

Smithy - Hope you are tracking along nicely!

Ruth - Great news, congratulations, those embies sound wonderful. Fingers crossed all goes well. Are you doing a blastie transfer?

Cuddlepie - I hope you are keeping well.

21 - Don?t lose hope, it may very well be too early, fingers crossed for you.

BecD - Welcome back, and glad to hear you are looking forward to your FET, wishing you all the luck in the world.

LNB - I?m sorry I can?t help you either, I have only ever done HRT FET cycles. Best of luck for your ET tomorrow.

Jodie - How are you going? I hope you are taking care of yourself.

Babytruj - Good luck with your FS appointment next week.


AFM - I am a bit behind here, it has been a crazy past few days. EPU went great, out of the 19 follies I had, 12 eggs were retrieved. I was happy with that, assuming there were quite a few that were a little to immature. Of the 12, 9 fertilised, YAY! As of today 6 are growing well and are between 7 and 8 cell. This is a record for me, I am over the moon as I have been stressing about having an embryo quality issue. While some of them have a small degree of fragmentation, the embryologist has said she is so much more happier with this batch than the last, and they are better quality than the last. Phew... She had also thawed the last 2 embies I had from my last cycle. She had thought that they would be suspect but they have picked up and are looking good. So a total of 8 in the mix. Grow embies grow! Fingers crossed I get to Wednesday and to a blastie transfer.

I had a great EPU day, came out of the general fine and have had only minimal pain, though a very swollen belly. I almost feel like new and am hanging out for ET on Wednesday. Bring on the TWW!

I hope everyone else is well and smiling and love to all
