Krikkit, do whatever feels right. If you don't want to face your old FS again, then don't go. If you want to hear his take on the last cycle, then one more appt won't hurt.
miloro, good to hear everything looks on track. FX it continues to go well for you.
N2L, GL catching the egg! FX for a lovely surprise in 2 weeks' time!
MC, hi and welcome! Alexis is 1 day older than our DD!! I found I was coping just fine with the BFNs last year because we didn't expect anything to happen, but then we got a BFP and had the d&c and since then I'm right back where I was at the end of TTC#1 because I keep thinking we "should" be able to get a BFP but it's not happening. I have spent a total of almost 5 years TTC now and, even though it has only been 15 months TTC#2, I'm feeling all 50-odd TTC cycles weighing down on me... It's going to be weird taking DD with us to the day theatres on Monday (if we get to transfer) and knowing that is where she came from.
Let us know what (if anything) the testing shows up. It's hard to know whether to hope it finds nothing (ie that there's nothing wrong) or to hope it finds something that is easily treatable (ie an explanation for the BFNs that can be readily overcome).
Afm, just waiting nervously. Need to go and do a practice bake for a cake, but procrastinating... I'm not much good at cakes but wanted to take one to our friends' house tomorrow. If this one takes too long it might become the real cake, no matter how it turns out...
Just a quick one, am back from holidays... Will be waiting for AF (not due for a little while) and then start a natural FET.
Today met up with my DF's brother and sister in law and they told us they're expecting their first, they never wanted children, but this one seems planned and I think possibly first time lucky... Argh, I was sure it was our turn next... Oh well, I'll need a bit of getting used to it and have been shedding some tears. Am looking forward to becoming an auntie here in Australia, though.
Sorry, will do persies next time, am too tired as we arrived this morning at 4am after a gruelling 29 hours at airports and on planes...
Hugs for everyone!
I am tucked away in our little tin caravan and the internet is proving to be quite the issue, so hoping I can actually post this
Krit - so sorry for BFN. I will be stalking your new fs and hope that he has some awesome new things to try and get you your bfp ASAP!!!
N2L - Good luck catching the eggie. I too had given up of conceiving naturally but we did, it just arrested at day 3. At least I know I am conceiving naturally and god willing the right egg will show up asap.
Murraycod - A BIG MASSIVE WELCOME... about time you jumped in here xxx
Miloro - Good luck for your scan and your EPU on Thursday. We will all be here for you.
Juniper - FX for a great transfer tomorrow. I find it interesting that they thaw them the day before. At least you will know if they are continuing to grow and divide. Its one thing to say they survived the thaw but do they keep going???
Miss B - I hope that all the sickness in your house has finally left the building. I cant believe how sick you have all been
Hi to everyone else.
AFM - My Lab Director called me Friday and asked if I had any questions re the transfer/EPU day lol. I said no, its pretty much what it is. He said it obviously fertilised and grew to day 3 and then he thinks it arrested. I guess a lot of embies arrest between day 3 and day 5 thats why they have a high drop off rate. I asked about PGD and he said they dont do it, but are looking into it and it should be available in 6-9 months. Pfft...no good for me. And I dont know how I feel about them not having any experience with it anyway. He said he was training now and would then have to train his staff. Hmmmm.... he also said they would need a minimum of 3 day 3 embies. Which I usually have more of so that would be ok, but I dont have 6 to 9 months up my sleeve.
I am too scared to POAS. I dont have any with me so I cant anyway. Ugh I hate this part of the TWW. Its actually gone pretty quick and I think know I have to do another stim is putting me off of finding out. The clinic said I should get AF tomorrow, but I know the prog pessaries will keep her away. BT is Friday so will see how I go. I have to do something before Thursday as that the only day my FS works out of the clinic and need him to sign off on it.
Thanks so much myturn for pointing out my mistake. I would never have noticed and I don't read all your posts (). You guys have over 300 posts in less than a month! I can barely keep up!

Myturn I am so sorry to hear your parents might be splitting up. Thinking of you and I am here to chat whenever you need.
My personal thoughts on 2012 is that it has not been a good year and I am looking forward to 2013 being better for all of us.
2012 has sucked all sorts of things that I can't write here... It has taken so much from us, so many good people...
Anyway, saw the FS this morning and he said he's expecting I will O today, not yesterday (which is good because I agree with that based on OPK and temps). The thing that concerns me is that he's still talking about transfer on Monday, which would be 3dpo, but the embryo was frozen on day 3, so I would have thought it would be thawed at 3dpo and transferred 4dpo?? Has anyone had a day 3 embryo thawed at 2dpo before? They do always thaw the day before, right? I'm going to ask about it when I phone for the b/w results this afternoon.
Interestingly, I decided to bring up my OPK results with him and he was actually interested in what I said. I had a +OPK on Wednesday night and he was surprised by that. He thought it was too early and wouldn't have expected me to get one before yesterday. I'm kicking myself now for not doing another OPK last night (just did 2pm, which was dark, but slightly lighter than Wednesday night). He said that if we were just doing TI and using the OPKs for timing we'd be getting the timing wrong. Of course, too early is better than too late, but still...
Based on the b/w he's expecting me to O tonight, but I'd have guessed this morning based on the OPKs. Will be very interested to hear today's b/w results this afternoon!
