    Hi girls
    I've been lurking and hanging around, keeping tabs on you all!

    Brooke - congratulations, that is wonderful!!! Hope you feel better soon.

    Hope everyone is hanging in there whatever stage you are at.

    AFM: I see the doc next week, so in the meantime DH and I are going to try naturally this cycle, so at least I will feel like I am moving towards something.

    Stay strong girls

    I just wrote a really long post and lost it all

    Congratulations Brooke. Hope you have a quick recovery from the OHSS and get out of hospital real soon.

    Neptune good luck with your natural cycle. Hope it works and you have some great news for us soon.

    Smithy good luck with your scan on Friday. Hopefully your eggies are growing nicely and you can lay them soon.. hehe

    Possums so sorry to see you back here. Hope your stay in this thread is short and you move back into the pregnancy threads real soon. Best of luck.

    Kasam woohoo on getting your cycle up and running. Keep sniffing and good luck.

    curlygirl good luck in your tww hope you get a great result.

    KellyD sorry to hear about your BFN. Good luck with your next cycle. This whole journey sure is one emotional roller coaster.

    JBM hope the breakout doesnt mean anything. Hang in there

    AFM had my EPU yesterday and all went well. 12 eggs collected, all mature and 10 have fertilised nicely. Now its just a matter of taking one day at a time and seeing how they continue to grow. Hopefully we have some nice follies on Monday, one gorgeous one to transfer and a few to freeze for bub number 2. So right now i am sitting at home watching Sex and The City season 2 with my feet up and drinking loads of water. Hope you all have a nice day

    Paula - I am happy for you that you had a successfull EPU - why do you drink loads of water after an EPU ?? Mine is on Tuesday - any tips would be appreciated - Thanks

    Oh and one more questions girls,

    I had my scan and B/T this morning - the scan is showing 8 follies growing nicely - the clinic called me an hour or two later and said my LH was beginning to surge - so they advised I inject the Orgalutran straight away, (which I did) and back in tommorow early morning for another BT to check my LH levels - should I be worried ???? Is this common ??

    My EPU is Tuesday ..

    Your response's would be greatlly appreciated

    OMG, there are lots happening here!

    First of all, a big congrats to Brooke!!! YAY!

    Paula, you must be feeling reliefed after EPU and with such a great result. Sex and City sounds like a great way to spend the day...

    Smithy, love you 'egg' symbol, wow, 28th is getting closer, I am excited for you!!!

    Wouldloveabubba, drink a lots of water after EPU is to prevent OSHH, water intake helps on reducing the estergeon levels after stimulating. Regarding the b/t, I think they just want to make sure that you indeed ovulated so they can time the EPU timing, relax hun and you will be fine.

    I hope everyone else is doing well. I can hardly keep up now...I think time for Smithy, Lulu, JBM to graduate from this thread soon, in TWW time.

    brooke - fabulous news, well done!

    paula - well done on your EPU - rest up. fingers crossed for a big fert rate.

    LNB - thnx for your advice, I feel like I'm approaching ovulation, so hopefully it goes ahead. shld know more tmrw after my scan. also, don't worry about the spotting - it could be a good sign!! fingers crossed!

    Kasam - good luck on your first cycle

    wouldlove - i'm sure your FS knows best, but I had my trigger 36 hours before my EPU (but it was ovidrel (spelling?)) so maybe it is a different trigger to the one you used (therefore delaying EPU till Tues?). Sorry, not much help. Also agree re water. Make sure you have tonnes post EPU!

    AFM - hoping I have a big follie on show at tmrw's scan and that my FET will be next week! bring on another TWW!

    Hi Everyone -

    SMithy and WLB - fingers crossed for your EPU's next week. for big numbers for you both

    Neptune - good luck BD'ing this month !

    Paula - hope you enjoyed Sex and the City and are relaxing while your embies are growing madly for you.

    WLB - I did my trigger 36 hours before EPU but the one thing I know about IVF is that everyone is different and the treatment is tailored to your body. Whenver I am in doubt I just call the clinc and ask the nurses or FS.

    Cuddlepie - hope you are doing well.

    Mel77 - sending big follie vibes to you. I've found the FET to be so much easier on the body and mind, except for the TWW that still does your head in

    MRSM - glad to hear you have started the journey.

    Everyone else that I have missed - sending you all good thoughts for whatever stage you are in.

    AFM - no AF today ! A little spotting but no more than yesterday, still cramping on and off, BB are a bit bigger but not sore so I keep on for no AF.

    Take care,
    LNB

    Hi all my friends,

    Just a quick one from my hospital room. At my height I was up 11.5 kgs..not the best experience.

    BUT...worth it in the end as I got a BFP today!!!!!!

    Levels were at 100 5 days before official testing day, so things are looking good for 1 or 2 little ones to come into our lives in just over 8 months.

    Thanks for all your love and support. Will be back on in a few days to check on you all.

    Am always thinking of you all wherever you are at on your journey.

    Big hugs
    Bel and little one/s!!!

    Oh Bel and Brooke - that is fantastic news guys, am so so very happy for you. Yippee........

    LNB - I have my fingers crossed for you - no AF for you - STAY AWAY FROM LNB AF!!!! we don't want to see you....

    Smithy and WLB - wishing you both lots and lots of the best wishes possible for your EPU's, hoping and praying for lots of eggies.

    Paula - did you manage to finish watching S&TC, hope you had fun and that those little embies are doing there thing. Thinking of you.

    Mels77 - good luck for your scan tomorrow and I sure do hope that your FET can go ahead as planned for next week. Lots of luck.....

    Sarah - wishing you all the best for when you get all your tests done. You are finally on your way.

    I hope that everyone else is doing really well - Cuddlepie, Neptune, Curlygirl, KellyD, JBM and also to anyone else that I may have missed - sending you all lots of love and big hugs.

    AFM - well CD28 for me and no AF as yet, although the symptoms are there, cramps, pimples, hormonal rants - gotta love those. Oh well so much for thinking that we could perhaps conceive the old fashioned way.

    Have a wonderful night everybody.
