Hi everyone

Smithy for some reason I cant reply to the email you sent, so I am not sure where to go from here .x

Our IVF cycles must be very different, I am on day 5 of injections then in 2morow for the scan and then EPU from there I guess, I wonder why I am not having a blood test - oh mayby 2mrow after my scan -

I am so sore in my ovaries - have to stop and sit down just to get a break - it feels like they are burning sometimes, oh I hope that is good news and not one of those cycle's that FS mentioned where I am too stimulated and I have to go home with no BD'ing for 2 weeks - PS has anyone ever BD in those two weeks - I wonder what would happen ... Cant wait for 2mrow -

Hope everyone is going well ...

Shelbee - I know what you mean about trying a few more cycles, or moving to IVF. My theory is try it step by step. But my husband thinks whats the point, lets move stright to IVF. We'll see what the lap says. The doc did say that we weren't allowed to TTC that cycle, but you can be more fertile for a couple of cycles afterwards, so we'll probably try a few months after the lap, and in the new year we'll look at IVF if we need to.
I also understand where you are coming from in the "jealousy" department. My work colleague told me she was pregnant, and although I am so happy for her, I was like Why Why!! They aren;t even trying - it was a bit of an accident. I also havea lot of friends who are pregnant/just given birth, and it is hard, but keep thinking that my time is near, and it will be my turn soon...

Paula, just wanted to pop in and wish you all the best for your EPU tomorrow

To everyone else in what ever stage you are in of your journey know that every day you are a step closer to your BFP.

[*Paula*]

babytruj i too feel like there are preggy bellies EVERYWHERE. Because i have been married and because i love kids i always get the "When are you having babies?" questions.

smithy thank you. How did your blood test go today? I too have had constant aching on my left side and thats where i have the majority of my big follies so its sounding good for you too.

shelby sending you lots of cyber Its hard to be happy when we hear that kind of news these days although deep down we really are happy for them.

wouldloveabubba im not sure why they dont give you a blood test. Maybe you should ask the clinic. Im always told that results depend on both the bloods and the scan not just the scan. Great to hear that the follies are looking nicely. CD 1 is the first day of AF.

Nicole thanks for popping in.

Sarah, my understanding, the answer is no. However, they encourage people to be in a healthy weight range. I had the reverse problem. I am a bit underweight and had to fatten up (to my DH's pleasure).

Hi Everyone -

Hope you are all doing well either popping, sniffing, jabbing or waiting. Happy thoughts to everyone.

Paula - good luck for your EPU tomorrow

Smithy - fingers crossed for a good BT for you today and loads a eggies, 10+ at least for you

On-Tra_K- hope you are feeling good after your EPU and have ET soon

WLB - I had 4 scans before EPU and had 19 eggs, I could barely stand by the time I got there. Afterwards my FS said I over produced in the last 2 days. Hope you have EPU soon. Fingers crossed for many eggies for you.

21 - sorry to hear AF finally arrived. Hope you are okay and ready for the rest of the journey. Take care.

Mels77 - have had the green light for ET next cycle ?

Babytruj, Shelbee, Cuddle Pie, Wishingbaby and everyone else - lot's of happy thoughts to you.

AFM - half way through the TWW and still feeling great - no symtoms of anything yet so for a BFP next Tuesday.

Take care,
LNB

WLB - I hope your little eggies are growing nicely and you are booked in soon for EPU!

Smithy - how are coping there? Still working on those 9+ eggs? And out of interest - how early did you test on your previous cycles????

Paula - all the best for your EPU tomorrow. I hope they get a good lot and that you recover quickly.

Kahlan - re the bigger girls - I know that some FS would suggest a client to lose weight before IVF but others don't say anything at all. I'm on the larger size but generally very active and healthy and my FS didn't blink an eye when I said my weight was around 100kg.

AFM - sticking with the crinone (yuck) which is giving me cramps but no preg symptoms yet.... : ( Only 1 week and 2 days till testing!
