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?

Always remember - our turn IS coming!!!!!
So Goodnight lovely girls...

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.
Janie & Nicole thanks for stalking me.. hehe I appreciate it!
Brooke hope your EPU goes/went well today. Make sure you drink at least 2L of water daily plus some Gatorade.
Bel remaining positive is the key. Best of luck.
TLO thanks for sharing your story. I can't even begin to imagine the pain you have been through. I too know of people that fell pregnant at the same time that DH and i started trying and like you, it reminds me of how old my little could have been by now. But for all this hardship, we will be rewarded. Remain positive and i am sure that our BFP are on their way real soon.
Ruth my acupunturist also told me that im too young to be doing IVF. She said that i should try just acupuncture and herbs/natural remedies first but im not into that sort of thing. Not yet anyway. Good luck with your session, hope you find it relaxing.
Kelly best of luck with ET on Tuesday. I had to laugh out loud when you mentioned the Baci chocolates. The things our DH's come up with sometimes...lol
azzrenae welcome and good luck with your transfer tomorrow. I hope its a super sticky one.
Baby Dreamtime it would be wonderful to have ET on DH's b'day. Hope it all goes to plan. Good luck.
Rach good luck with your essay.
Im at work so i have been clicking in and out of the thread so im sure i have missed a few of you.. sorry, and good luck with whichever part of the cycle you are all at.
Im off to Melb for the weekend for a Christening so i wont prob wont be back on here till Tuesday. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. And to all the NSW ladies, HOOORRRAAAAYYYY for a long weekend
Hi to all you lovely girls, youa re all doing so well at your various stages. I too have popped in and out all day checking on everyone's progress, but I am too stretched for time to attend to personals.
Maybe tomorrow I will get some time because I will be resting after my ET
My 7 embies are all doing well, so tomorrow is the big day. I have my pre and post acupuncture booked.
What are the rules for post transfer? i heard resting is good????
wow i need an hour each day just to keep up with whats going on in here , it's crazy
kelly: count down to stop sniffing
Bel: hi, count down for next tfer

all is well and i'm just waiting now for FET. counting down 9 days to go.
SO SO SO busy in here...I can't keep up either...so sorry!!
I'm thinking of you all though.
BabyDreamTime- So happy to see you back here and so excited we'll be in the TWW again together too. I hope so much this cycle is the one for both of us. We can meet up and compare pregnant bellies then!!
Lil Miss- Hoping Monday brings you some good news to move forward and get back to TTC. Hope you are feeling ok after the op. Are you going to the clinic on Mon, or to your Dr's surgery. I'll be at the clinic at 8am for BT and US...how amazing if we met up there!!
Neptune- All the best for tomorrow. I don't think there are any "rules" after TF, but I always have a good rest. I figure it can't hurt.
Janet- Gee I would LOVE a massage. I'm salavating just thinking about it!!
Paula- Have a great weekend in Melbourne.
Smithy- Hi there my ray of sunshine. Thinking of you always.
Ruth- Great numbers so far. You must be getting excited. A week seems so far though doesn't it?? I'm looking at EPU the same time.
Kelly- Great news on the lining. You are all set now!!
Muppity- Hope your week goes fast.
Rach- Hope the essay is going well. At least you are a bit distracted from TTC for a while??!!
Jodie- Hope you are having fun trying the old fashioned way!!
TLO- also hoping your natural attempt is going well...at least it's fun!!
Mrs P- Hope you have a good holiday...ooohhh wouldn't that be nice
If I missed anyone..I'M SO SO SO SORRY!!
AFM- still just jabbing. Had an appointment with the counsellor today at my new clinic. She was so lovely, and thought I was doing really well and had lots to be proud of. I'm always shocked when I leave and no-one is waiting to take me and lock me away from the world!!!!
Starting to feel that kind of "need to wee" feeling. I always get that when I'm jabbing. Maybe it's my ovaries filling up..well that's what I'm hoping anyway.
Next week can't come soon enough....BRING ON EPU!!!!
I hope you all have great weekends...and you lucky NSW ladies...great LONG weekends!
Hugs Bel

TLO : I really really hope it happens for you and DH you are right watching everyone around you fall pregnant so easy is a hard thing to see. this is a great thread to be apart of and just letting it out.
Bel : its funny how friends get in to your head about negitive stories. Comments like don't count on the FET I know that they have my best interest at heart. Hence why I am on this thread to hear the positive sides.
AFM Still feeling abit nervous about tomorrow so cross all of your fingers for me
Goodnight everyone I will let you know how I go tomorrow
Azzrenae- Wishing you all the best for tomorrow. IKWYM about your friends having your best interest at heart. No-one wants to see their friends or loved ones come crashing down after bad news. Here's hoping you get some amazing news really really soon to tell the world!!! Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing from you after your TF.

ps: yep i booked the wesley lodge yesterday for the four nights its just going to be heaps easier as its just across the road so well go down day bfore EPU then stay till ET but thank for the tip hun,your a ledgend
STICKY VIBES BROOKE
Brooke- Congrats on the 15 eggs. You must be over the moon. Rest up and drink lots of water. Looking forward to hearing how the little ones go overnight. Take good care.
Also was wondering if any of you have ever started an IVF Cycle after being on the active pill for more than four weeks?
The start of my IVF cycle has now been moved back to Either Nov 5 or Nov 12 as my FS is away when I was ready to start (Oct 21). I am currently on the active pill and was advised to stay on it, I am just worried that if I've been on the active pill for basically 10 weeks before my cycle starts this may mean that AF does not arrive within a few days after stopping the pill/starting Lucrin.
Probably should just stop worrying and see what happens.
Also wondering if any of you ever had a good result after a bad SCSA test. My DP had 31 at his first test and 28 at his second. We're now trying a change of diet and Menevit but wondering if we're set to fail with this.
Hi red Lady
dont stress im sure they know what there doing, u want AF to arrive on time! ( the only time u get excited that shes here LOL) if your worried ring them and get them to explain it to you. im sure they would be happy to help.
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:
. The lab advised to transfer 2 x days 3's as we have more of them (9) and the supposedly are really good quality.
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.
that either or both choose to stay put.
Goodluck for the 7th..
for you Kel. Looks like things are progresssing well for your FET
