Hi all you lovely ladies - wow there is so many of us in here, I actually had to take some notes whislst reading all your personals. But thankyou for making me smile, it is something that my DH says that I don't do too much of anymore.
Brooke2550 - just wanted to wish you all the luck in the world tomorrow for your EPU - wow I just couldn't believe - 20 eggs that is fab !!
Liilmiss - happy for you that the lap went well and hope that you are resting and getting some pampering.
Abbie - hope that your EPU went fantastically (is that a word) well yesterday, was thinking of you and sending positive vibes so hope that they worked.
Neptune - good luck for your transfer on Saturday, sending you some sticky vibes.
KellyD - all the best for your scan tomorrow and here's hoping that you can get a firm date for your transfer. As for that sniffing, I hate that taste down the back of the throat and always always wanted to wash it down with a lovely glass (or two) of red wine
JBM - sending you lots of positive thoughts that this is 3rd time lucky for you, so GOOD LUCK for your FET on 13th.
TLO - welcome and all the very best for trying to "naturally" this month. I can't believe that you have been TTC your little one for 9 years - you are truly an inspiration and have actually made me just that little bit more confident about trying again.
Ruth - good luck with the acupuncture and your scan tomorrow also.
Muppity - congrats on your blastie on board - you go girl and get us a BFP, sending you lots of sticky vibes.
Wishingbaby - I hope that your BT went well today and also hope that your little nephew is doing OK.
Smithy - I just love reading your replies and personals, you make me laugh.
Bel - good luck with your jabbing
Paul - good luck with your sniffing and waiting for AF, it is such a ***** isn't it, when you want her to come she just doesn't and when you don't there she is and even earlier.
Rach - hope you are going well and enjoying the acupuncture.
Mrs P - I can't really answer your question about needing synarel because you don't ovulate normally. All I know is that synarel is used to stop your normal cycle to allow the FS to control it via the drugs, ie Gonal F (FSH) and then the trigger releases the mature eggs, perhaps some of the others can shed some more light. I can't believe that you are going through all of this plus doing PhD seminar at Uni, wow, you must not have any time to yourself. As for telling family about needing IVF it sure is a hard thing to do, my mother actually took it really rather well and is very supportive, it is my MIL that I have problems with in that she doesn't really understand why I can't fall pregnant naturally. I have now given up trying to talk with her about it.
Azzrenae and Jodes 76 - welcome and good luck to you both.
Baby dreamtime - hope that your follies keep on growing and you have some lovely eggies for EPU next week.
AFM - well I am on day 7 of a trying to conceive naturally cycle. As we have to wait a month before seeing the AF, I thought we would give the old fashioned way another go. Then I am not too sure if I will do another round of IVF or not. It will be number 4 for us and well just don't know if I can do it all again, the sniffing, jabbing, hormonal ups and downs. So today I went out and purchased an Ovulation Prediction Test kit and have been checking my BBT and mucus. So here's hoping, you just never know.
Hey everyone, oh my goodness we have such a big group - very cool!
Although having said that hopefully we can make it over to the preggy thread soon hey?
I am just doing a quick post tonight - off to do some reading for an essay - so exciting????? And have a busy weekend of work coming up, so I probably won't be around till early next week. I wanted to wish everyone the best of luck with the following:
Pill popping, Sniffing, Injecting, Jabbing, Drinking lots of water, Resting, Recovering, Growing Follies - but not too many - nor to few!, Growing Eggies, Growing Lining of Uterus, Growing Embies, Blood testing, Hormone testing, Progesterone testing, HCG testing, WAITING and all the joys of Assisted conception. Always remember - our turn IS coming!!!!!
So Goodnight lovely girls...
Azzrenae, Jodes 76, Baby dreamtime, Mrs P, Paula, Bel, Smithy, Wishing Baby, Muppity, Ruth, TLO, JBM, Kelly D, Neptune, Abbie, LilMiss, Brooke - sorry if I forgot you...
Rach xx

Look I'll just admit it, I can't keep up with all the personals so here are just a few shoutouts:
Azzrenae - welcome to our thread and hope your stay here is a short but good one!
Brooke - thinking and praying for you for your EPU today! I hope you recover well and get lots and lots of beautiful eggies out!
Babydreamtime - what a courageous decision to take a 12 month break and go on you for knowing what's going to be best for you. I hope this cycle goes well for you and either gives you a bub or the answers for next time when you are ready to start again.
TLO - yep, I'll keep you posted on my accupuncture. The way I see it is that although there's not conclusive evidence that it helps, I would feel better if I thought that I was doing everything I could to help the sucess of the cycle. If I DIDn't do it and got a BFN I would feel guilty... crazy I know!
AFM - I'm off for my scan soon so I'll be back later to post my results. I'm been feeling sick in the morning and a bit scatter brained at work. Plus I feel like I just can't cope at all with any criticism or anything negative. DH says I've been moody but I feel okay.
I go away for a couple of days and the thread explodes! There must be about 20 people in here. Lets hope that the multiplying is catching in our homelives as well
Welcome to all the newbies and a big hi to everyone else as well.
Being totally self centered and can't do personals but wanted to update everyone. Is still a whole week until my blood test - gee time can go slowly when there is no jabbing to do DH told me that he thinks that we should be provided with some sort of placebo to inject daily to make us feel better - I like his thinking!
Sending lots of positive baby vibes to everyone. And wishing you all a lovely (long for some - including me YAY!) weekend
A quick one from me today... When I am at home I have less time to post than when I'm at work
Well scan this morning went well, lining at a perfect 9mm (as I needs to be) and FET scheduled for Tuesday . The lab advised to transfer 2 x days 3's as we have more of them (9) and the supposedly are really good quality.
So hopefully the 2 make the thaw on Tuesday morning and we don't have to use any of our "spares" as the clinc calls them. Now just waiting for a phone call to confirm the time and will then organise my Acu pre & post transfer.
No more sniffing but start the progesterone pessaries tomorrow, my DH thinks they look like Baci chocolates in there foil cases but when it was explained where they go he certainly changed his mind.
So FET on the 7th and BT on the 20th, that either or both choose to stay put.
for you Kel. Looks like things are progresssing well for your FET for the 7th.
AFM - my scan this morning showed about 18 eggies between 1.1cm to 1.7cm. Dr says that's enough and I shouldn't produce any more. I'm feeling a bit fully in the belly but i still have another week till EPU! I was thinking it would be Wednesday but Dr says he'll see me Tuesday and probably schedule it for the Friday.
And have a busy weekend of work coming up, so I probably won't be around till early next week. I wanted to wish everyone the best of luck with the following:
