    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.

    Congrats Brooke & Bel. It's so inspiring to hear of success! All the best for the next 9 months.

    JodieC65, LNB - fingers crossed for you
    Mels77 - good luck with tomorrow's scan
    Paula - great results from your EPU, hope those embies keep doing the right thing
    wouldloveabubba - good luck with your EPU
    MrsM - good luck, look forward to hearing more of your journey
    curlygirl - so glad that your EPU delivered some results, I hope your other embie makes it so you've got an insurance policy. Pregnyl jabs are my least favourite, they sting if you do it too quick.
    Good luck to everyone whatever stage you're at. I do too much lurking and can't keep track of everyone!!

    AFM - one blast transferred yesterday, 8 snowbubs, back to feeling normal; only issue now is dealing with a slightly nosy friend who suspects we're doing IVF and is apparently planning to confront me (she doesn't know that I know she is suspicous - get that??). I don't want to lie to her but I also don't really have any great desire to talk about it with her so right now I'm just ****ed off about having to tell her before I'm ready. On the flip side, I hope she hurries up and confronts me so I can tell her to keep her mouth shut and not share her suspicions with all our other friends. I'm sure you've all had to deal with this, any advice?

    Woo hoo! Congrats Bel! Awesome news! On one hand I am insanely jealous that your TWW is over early but I'm really very happy for you!

    Congrats also to Brooke on her BFP!

    I must admit I'm finding it hard to keep up with everyone, but I want to thank you all for sharing your stories and upates - I find it interesting and encouraging.

    AFM, I'm now two weeks post EPU and no AF, though apparently crinone can supress AF. I have no symptoms to speak of and I'm still not feeling positive about it. DH insists that we can't test early - DOH!

    All the best to you all!

    Wow, huge congrats to Bel and Brooke. Bel, my god 11.5kg!!!!!!!! That must be soooo uncomfortable. Hope you feel better soon.

    Ruth, how frustrating, but good luck

    On tra_k - Congrats on your transfer and some good snowbubs!!! As for your nosy friend, I'm not really sure. My instinct would be to tell her that she hasn't been told because it is a private matter that can be incredibly emotional and you would rather tell people in hind sight......the less people that know (who don't understand) the better. I've learned that form this cycle. My parents in law keep ringing up and telling me how dissapointed they are that we 'failed'. Aaarrrggghhhhh

    Smithy and WLB - good luck for your EPU's

    Paula - sticky vibes to you

    Jodie, Mumofsix, LNB, Cuddlepie, Mels, Sarah, MrsM, Wouldluvabubba, and anyone I have missed, all the best to you we all need to stick together.

    AFM: Back to taking temp etc, as least it's familiar! Will see doc next week. I have a monster essay due on Monday so very busy getting that done.
