Mrs M .. I like you, wanted all my tests completed prior, I even had most BT's done twice as I was deciding at the time which clinic to go to, so I was seeing 2 FS until I made up my mind, which one "felt right" ..
The test's required by the two clinics were fairly different, they both wanted their own s/a done - so I booked weeks ahead into a SA clinic that was reputable and each clinic used and approved of. (it can takes weeks to get in here in Melb) ..Make sure it says s/a - and checks for antibodies as well, not just the s/a ...... I have kept the blood test records if you would like me to email you the most advanced BT Request ?? - 12 VILES OF BLOOD - so it was comprehensive .. some take a week or so to come back so that would be usefull to have done earlier ...
Be careful of the HSG (ultrasound after they insert a tube through your cervix and run dye through) painfull and one clinic told me, for me it was an unnesasary procedure - even though it showed I had a blocked tube - a vag ultrasound with a written report would be good . Let me know if you want the more advanced blood test requests .. hope that helps
Hey thanks Minnie for letting us know about Bel, poor little thing, i hope she gets better soon and part of the 9 months belly is because she is pregnant already!!!
hi ladies, thank you all for your kind words, it's good to know i'm not alone in this roller coaster ride!
i just went for EPU this morning and we had all 3 eggs retrieved. so the small one did catch up after the trigger fingers crossed now to have them all fertilized and hopefully we can do ET on monday or wednesday.

BEL..oh hun you poor thing i had no idea you were in hospital .
i hope you get much better soon and this leads you to a bfp and then it will all be worth it -im sure it will any way hun
so just no im thinking of you and i hope you get better chicky babe
GET WELL OUR SWEET BEL AND GO GET THAT BFP
I'm just feeling a bit down today. For some reason I think that we are going to get a BFN... I just have a sense... I know I'm only 4 days post transfer but I just have a "feeling". I have a few questions that I was wondering if anyone could answer:
Generally - how long between a stim cycle and a FET? (we have just one in the freezer though it's not a great one)
Also, I know implantation generally occurs between 6-10 DPO... so does that mean it still happens 6-10 days past EPU?
Smithy - hope your jabbing is going well and that AF makes her final exit properly now!
Curly girl - glad to hear your EPU went well! All the best for your growing little ones - let us know how your embies are doing!

fingers crossed now to have them all fertilized and hopefully we can do ET on monday or wednesday.
