Luckystrike that is great news congradulations I am so happy for you:clap::dance::cheer::thumbsup:

Sorry no more personals

AFM still experiancing one of the lightest AF visits I have ever had it is like she is her for about a hour each day then she goes shopping or something and all I get is spotting and this has been going on since Sunday. So anyway started Puregon injections again last night and Pregnyl injections tonight so cross my fingers and hope this cycle goes better.

Good luck to everyone else hope everything goes well for you all and a big :welcome: to all our newbies.

Luckystrike - YAY! :hooray::bluedust:

Hey Smithy - how is the pill going? I don't like taking it - but man I want to start ..... nearly there.

Ladies I just wanted to pop in and wish you all the best in your TTC Journey.
Weather you are pill popping, sniffing, jabbing, epuing or eting you are all a step closer to that BFP.

I got my BFP yesterday from my Second IVF cycle and although we got lots of good eggs at EPU only one was good enough to go back and non were able to freeze.
As they say you only need ONE....

Take care ladies and hope to see you all posting some great news very soon :grouphug:

What a wonderful note to come back on! Congratulations Nicole. What wonderful news!

Well ladies im back into this thread. I see there are lots of new faces so slowly i look forward to getting to know you all.

DH and i got back from our European holiday on th 14th Sept and we had our FS appointment yesterday to get back into the IVF journey. We are hoping that it will be third time luck for us. We feel that everything is going really really well for us at the moment. We had our holiday, DH just got promoted last week and this week... we bought a house! So much happening and all for the better, so now we just need a little bubba to complete the picture.

I started Provera and Synarel last night so now i just have to wait for AF and then get started with the fun injections.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :dance:

Thanks Paula, sending you all the luck in the world and :pray: that 3rd time lucky for you :hug:

Gee you have had alot of things going on...many congrats on buying a house :dance:

Hey Nic - Well done! You're right it only takes only lil sticky!!!!! Very happy for you! :loveshower:

Hi Paula, I've seen you around but wanted to actually say Hello so :wiggle: to you! Hope this is the one!

AFM - I just want to get started I have about 14 more days. Once AF arrives I can start the pill for 21 days and syneral - I think 5 days into that! I have a mountain of uni work to do so I keep telling myself - get it done before the bimbi's - less stress that way!!!

Oh well - take care and :stickyvibesgirl: to everyone!

Rach xx

Hi Rach, big hello to you too. I hope that the next week or so goes quick for you so that you can get started. I hate that waiting time... but i guess this whole journey is nothing but a waiting game. Best of luck with everything!

:hug:HEY RACH.
not long now chicky babe and you can start pill poppen i hate it im nearly finished and start sniffing on tuesday so were off to sydney on sunday for our nurse app on tuesday morning another 13 hr drive yay but its al gonna be worth it this time i hope :pray:


PAULA best of luk with this cycle hunny ,nice and fresh and ready to go :dance:

everyone else have a great weekend and you new mummys get out into the sun this weekend and rest up YOU DESERVE IT RITE

HI Everyone

lilmisshavachat, rach, smithy, wishingbaby and muppity, thankyou for all the nice words! I greatly appreciate it, and I hope all get your BFP's this cycle. :pray::goodluck2:
You have all made this journey so much bareable and I sincerely wish each one of you the best of luck with IVF. It can be draining and there are so many dissapointments along the way, but it will all be worth it when you get your BFPs!:pink-babydust::stickyvibesboy:

Paula welcome back from your trip, and hope your next cycle goes well for you. I'm sure you will have lots of success this month after a nice relaxing holiday in Europe! Congrats on the new house too!

Ruth, your story sounds very similar to mine, expect we only realised we had issues when trying to conceive #2, so our DD was indeed a natural miracle. Wishing you the best of luck in your IVF journey. :goodluck:

And to anyone I may have missed, hope you are doign well and wishing you all the best in whatever stage you ar up to!

Hi all,

Well, I'm glad to see I'm not alone with my sniffing. Seems that Paula is sniffing with me and soon Rach and Smithy will be too.

My Dr doesn't do the whole Pill first thing. He didn't really say why, it's just what they do. I'm pretty glad as it just seems to prolong the agony!

It's nice to see the BFP from Luckystrike and Nic. Congrats ladies. Reminds me what we are all in this for!

Anyway, I'm feeling a bit down because two sets of friends of ours annouced a BFP... which is great for them but ... grrr it should be me! *childish tantrum*

Anywho, hope you are all enjoying a fantastic weekend and I'm off to do some sniffing!

Hello ladies,

Well it's time for me to join this thread. :wall:

Background:
I went off the pill (after 8 years) in June 06 and haven't had AF since. and found out that I don't ovulate (probably stress related).
Started OI in August after some delays, and did not respond at all (75u gonal-F).
Went to FS this week expecting him to tell me to just increase the dose etc, but no...

Found out I have Factor V Leiden, a clotting disorder - meaning he won't consider continuing with OI due to increased risks of developing a blood clot. He also thinks I'm an all-or-nothing girl, so I'll not respond and then 'wham' I'll over-respond. So he very matter-of-factly told me that IVF (and 50% likely to be IVM) was our next option.

I was pretty floored because I hadn't really prepared myself for this! And DH wasn't there as he couldn't get out of work (clearly he would have tried had he known that would be the conversation!).

I know that a lot of ladies are going through IVF, but I'm sure you all remember how you felt when you first found out. It's quite a shock.

Then of course we get to the money side of things - FAR OUT I really had no idea. We need to come up with around $10,500 upfront, but will hopefully only be about $2,500 out of pocket (after we hit the safety net this will go down).
So we're waiting til Jan 09 to start, because we can't fit 2 cycles in this year due to a holiday and work commitments, so it makes more sense to wait til Jan. Also gives me a chance to try and loose a few kgs, get as healthy as I can, and give us every extra chance of success.
We're going on holiday in 10 days to Vanuatu, which is a celebration trip as I've recently submitted my PhD thesis. After that we'll be telling DH's immediate family about it (they have no idea of our fertility probs) and most likely asking his parents if we can borrow the money. We're actually heading off to visit my parents this weekend (they live in the country and we haven't been to their place for ages) so we'll take the opportunity to tell them face-to-face.

I was wondering how many people have told their work about being on IVF? At this stage I think I'll tell my office manager and direct boss, but not until Jan. I think they'll be supportive and I know the process of taking time off etc will be easier when they are not questioning why or thinking I'm slack!

Anyway I just wanted to say hello, I'll be lurking around here following all your journeys and learning a lot in the process!! BB has been a great help to me so far.

And if anyone else has FVL I'd love to hear your stories - I'm heterozygous for the gene. Interestingly my FS told me I can't ever go on the pill again and should always wear compression stockings when I fly (hmm, in the last 2 years I've flown long-haul international flights several times and numerous national flights - whoops - plus I was on the pill for 8 years!).

Hi girls

just popping in after being MIA for weeks... wow time flies so quick, i cant keep up with all the personals!
welcome to all the newbies, hope you find lots of support here and a BFP soon! And congrats to all the shiny new :bfp:, congrats girls and wishing you all H+H pregnancys :cheer:. To the 'old timers', wishing you all the best in whatever part of your cycle you're at!

AFM, have been slow on the IVF front waiting for AF to show. Was a long cycle this month, no wonder FS was keen to cancel! I'm usually so regular. So now been taking Clomid for 5 days to give it a kick along, and off to FS on Monday to see how the follies are growing... hope he can actually find one this time! I so want to be able to do FET in October and get started again, feel like I've been marking time for months since EPU. very frustrating. Optimistic though that I'll be ready to go in a week or so :clap:

will try and do personals when i've had a chance to catch up with it all! Have great weekend everyone, Abbie

Nicole S: Congratulations on your :bfp::cheer::hooray::clap::dance::thumbsup:

Paula : :welcome: back, good luck with this course of IVF, Congrats on DH promotion and new house.

Rach 81: Hope time goes fast so you can start your next cycle sooner.

Ruth 08: It can be very frustrating when family and friends are all getting their BFP's and you are still waiting for yours, I also go through the stage just after being told thinking it's not fair why them and not me. I guess we all just have to be strong and know that we will get our BFP's one day soon.

Mrs P: Welcome Hope you have a fabulous time on holiday. Any questions feel free to ask all the ladies here are fantastic.

Abbie: Good luck with clomid and FS appointment. Keeping :crossfingers: and thinking positive thoughts for you.

AFM Still injecting BT on Monday to see how things are going.

Good luck to everyone with what ever stage you are up to.

Nicole S and Lucky strike woo hoo :clap::clap: Congratulations on your hard earned BFP's, that is fantastic. This sure is a lucky thread!

To everyone else, keep up the good work, we all deserve a little happiness :lol:

AFM: Quite excited and nervous, my EPU is tomorrow morning at 10am. We were out last night and I had to give myself the trigger in the car of all places!!!! We had to be very organised with the cold pack etc to carry the injection around, but it's all done. It was a dream sleeping in this morning without having to wake up early for the Synarel.

Wish me luck, and will update you all tomorrow. :pray:

Hey guys,
It's so nice to be a part of a thread again...

Neptune - goodluck with your EPU tomorrow - :bluedust: for you!

Wishing baby - goodluck with your BT tomorrow re: bimbis!

Abbie - I hope you get the results you are loking for tomorrow!:crossfingers:

Mrs P - I hope your FS can find the way foward for you adn DH, I am sure they will. As for telling work - yes I always tell them. I got very very bloated from the injections and I had to do some of them at work as I work funny hours. Also when I did fall pregnant (miscarried around 8 weeks) I stayed very bloated and round - my uniform didn't fit etc. I can tell you they were all so wonderful about it. Whatever I needed I got. They were super supportive about miscarriage too! I ended up needing a lot of time off work and so it was just easier to be totally honest - although I understand why some people don't do it that way too. Hope that helps you...

Smithy - wow 13hr drive (I will never whinge about the 40-50 minute drive I have I promise! :o
You are right it will be all worth it in the end!

Paula - I hope AF arrives soon hun - lets go with the injections!

To everyone else I am :bluecheer: for you all!!!!!

AFM - about to get some more homework done if I stop procrastinating on BB!!!! Also am loving the new smilies - check them out!! totally cool!

Have a great day everyone!

Rach xx

Hi i have a question
sorry if its too much information, Im on IVF 1st time
Do u still get your normal cervical mucas like normal? like say when u ovulate when your on the nose spray and injetions? im new at this and im not sure whats normal? ive just had the clear stuff when your spose to ovulate. but do u have that when your doing IVF???? any help?

Hi there,

Sorry I've been MIA again. DH went away for work and took the laptop with him....I'm totally LOST without it!!

Been thinkng of you all though and looking forward to logging on and seeing what is happening.

As usual when I go MIA, I'll catch up on all my personals soon.

Just wanted to say a quick hi to..

Neptune- All the very best for EPU tomorrow. Drink lots of H2O afterwards and have a realxing day. Looking forward to hearing some good news from you.

Smithy- My sweet friend...I hope the drive goes well and your appointment is very productive and will send you on your way to your BFP. Drive safely xx

AFM- appoinment with my FS tomorrow. I stopped the pill on Wed and STILL no AF for me. Am meant to start needles on day 2, but FS said that if lining is thin enough tomorrow, I can start jabbing then. How bizarre, but I can't wait to get those needles into me!!

Have a good night all. Will chat tomorrow.

Hugs Bel

Ruth, sniffing buddy, i know exactly what it feels like to need to have a "childish tantrum" from time to time, its the best way to let our frustration. Its so hard to not feel upset about others around us getting BFP's, of course we are happy for them but we always think, Why not me?!

Mrs P we all totally understand the inital shock. Thats why we are so lucky that a site like BB exists because we learn so much and realise that we are not alone. I told my office manager and boss. I felt that they needed an explanation for the time off (EPU & ET) and for the emotional wreck i was at the end of the cycles. They were both very supportive and i am glad that they knew.

Abbie Good luck with your FS appointment today.

Wishingbaby Good luck with your blood test today.

Neptune hope your EPU went well yesterday.

Bel hope you start jabbing soon.

Big hello to everyone else :D

Thanks for your kind welcome everyone. I'm officially jabbing now! I'm super pumped about it too. I feel very proactive and brave for doing it. DH had to look away - the big wuss.

Bel - yay for the jabbing! As you can seen I'm keen too. Hope you can start soon.

Paula - You got any side effects from the sniffing Paula? What can I expect???

Brooke - sorry this is my first time too, so I don't know what to expect re CM. I reckon it would be unlike normal seeing as you are pumped full of hormones. One of side effects of synarel is dryness....

Hello to all and best wishes all round!

Am super excited tonight...

AF arrived last night. Had my appointment with my FS this morning. Had an US and BT and everything is perfect for me to start jabbing tomorrow.

EPU on Fri or Sat next week. Can't believe this cycle will be so short. VERY VERY happy about that.

Off to pick up all my drugs tomorrow morning and to hand over yet another small fortune!!

Ruth- We'll be jabbing together now!!!

Will chat soon

Hugs Bel

Hi Ladies..
How exciting for you both Bel and Ruth08.. I know the feeling of wanting to get started..
Abbie - I hope your FS appointment went well.. Did you make it to the second Brissy catch up..
Mrs P - I'm extremely lucky that my Inlaws are my bosses, but that said I work with 8 guys and only one girl.. They've never known so much about ovulation before.. For me I find it too hard to hide what i'm up to and I reckon by being open and up front maybe that will help someone else..
Wishingbaby - goodluck with your BT.. I hope it gives you the result you're after..
Neptune - I hope EPU went well for you and you got lots of eggs...
Paula - Goodluck with this cycle..
Brooke2550 - Welcome.. I hope this cycle is the only one you need..
Hi to anyone i've missed..
AFM - Tomorrow is my Lap, Hysteroscopy (spelling?) and D&C.. I can't wait.. One step closer.. So far we are unexplained and i'm not looking for an answer.. Just a start.. Theory is ...If they find Endo, scarring or any other type of damage the answer is IVF.. If there is no damage we will look at assisted cycles of either OI or IUI or stuff like that.. Either way, let's get this show on the road..

Hi Lilmisshavachat, couldnt make brissie catch up cause i was out of town, so wanted to see everyone again... will have to get better coordinated next time, or maybe a weeknight?? Good luck tomorrow with lap etc, cant say i know much about it all but sounds kinda scary to me... hope you get some answers!

Bel, Ruth, Paula, gl with the jabbing n sniffn, you do sort of get used to it
neptune, how did epu go?

AFM, FS visit went like a dream today, he's given me the trigger injection for tomorrow morning then FET on Monday! WooHoo!! so excited to be back on the journey, am just :pray: for BFP, i know its coming soon.. now, if only those little embies can make it to day 5 for me:heartbeat:

:loveshower: and hugs to everyone i've missed, thinking of you all in your journeys..

Abbie- How exciting...EPU soon!! Hoping your little ones make it to day 5 too. Will be thinking of you.

Lilmisshavachat- All the very very best for tomorrow. It's good to find out what is going on. The Dr's at the hospital I went to joked I was booked in for the major service!! Bring it on I said!!

Hugs Bel

Dr aswell. I liked him right away - his name is Martin (same as my awesome daddy - and he has an English accent - smae as my daddy - all good signs I think!

Have a great day everyone

Hi Everyone

Just thought I would drop in and say :hello:.

I have been reading all your posts and seeing what everyone is up to but get so confused with all of us in here at the moment.

Good luck everyone who is jabbing, sniffing, pill popping or taking a rest.

AFM: 3 sleeps to go until my u/s to see if the lining is good for our FET transfer early next week. Have been on progynova since last friday and upped the dose yesterday.... Am suffering the major side effect of fatigue, can hardly keep my eyes open at the moment and am ready to crawl into bed at 7.30pm each night. Such a party animal :lol:. Hopefully I can get used to the medication cause if we get our awaited for BFP I will be on the meds for up to 10 weeks.

Good luck everyone and will be back on friday to up date our ETD (estimated transfer day).

Hi girls

Sorry that I have ben MIA - Crinone and I haven't been agreeing with eachother in regard to my pain threshold (Devil hormone says that I am a wimp and turns up the dial a bit more every day).

Haven't you all been busy chatting :)

I had my transfer yesterday and got a beautiful looking hatching balstie. FS said that it was really really good quality and she was very happy with it. It was moving about heaps which she said was also a very good sign. Scientist said that they were going to freeze 3 yesterday and thought that she would have another 3 or 4 to freeze today depending on how they went during the night so I am really happy about that as well.

Hope that everyone is gong well.

Oh WOW Muppity that is so exciting :confetti: Sounds very promising indeed!

Rach xx

Hi Everyone,

Been a bit quiet since I first joined the thread a couple of weeks ago, but just wanted to pop on back in and say a big HELLO to you all and to thank you all for your welcome wishes.

Lilmiss - good luck today with your lap and hope that everything goes well :goodluck:

Hope that your EPU goes really really well for you tomorrow Abbie and also to you Brooke2550 for your EPU on Friday.

Neptune - hope that your EPU went well for you yesterday :)

KellyD - I've got my fingers crossed for you that your lining is good for a FET.

To everyone else just wanted to send you all a big :grouphug: with whatever stage you are at - sniffing, jabbing, waiting. Thinking of you all - keep on smiling gals. :D

it seems so long since i posted, life has just been so busy. i've been at my sis over weekend at other end of state . men troubles for her.? jerks
except some men not jerks but all hers are?!

anyway i am still alive and af has just started on sun so i'll be booked in for frozen tfer prob on mon 13th oct:crossfingers:. i am hoping 3rd time lucky . i have been praying and relaxing, trying to be good. i also phoned acu today to do some more before and after tfer this time as only did before last time.

Hi girls

Hi JBM - Yes, there are some jerky men out there. I feel for your sis, and hope she meets someone genuine soon. Good luck for your FET on the 13th :goodluck:

Muppity, that sounds very promising and very exciting!!!!! Good luck:goodluck:

Hey Kelly D, sorry to hear you are so fatgued and hope that improves soon.

Rach - acu is wonderful, very relaxing and seems to have benefited many people.

Brooke- it is exciting when you finally get all those dates. Good luck with everything :pray:

Abbie - good luck!

Lilmisshaveachat - good luck for your procedures, it will give you a plan to work on which sure helps emotionally

Hey to everyone else, sorry no more personals I have to study and cook dinner.

AFM: Had EPU yesterday - 9 eggs! They phoned me today and 7 have fertilised - transfer set for Saturday. Very excited:D

Hi Gals..
Just a quick one from me.. My lap went well and i'm at home being pampered by DH and mt parents so i'm a very lucky girl.. The Doc removed a little bit of Endo and found some scarring on my left tube from a previous infection.. Everything else seemed to be in the right place and I was given some lovely snapshots of my internal organs.. I have my stitches out next Monday and we'll work out where to from there.. Don't want to start IVF until January so may go for OI or similar for the next couple of cycles.. I've definitely got a doctor with a sense of humour.. When he asked "any more questions?" I asked about DTD.. He suggested I wait until we got home.. LOL.. Take care everyone..

Hi,
I had a few complications with my last IVF cycle in Aug/Sept and google led me to this forum. Reading all of your posts gave me so much insight and also made me realise that I certainly wasn't going through this alone. My ET was late August and I was hospitalised a few times with hyperstimulation and chest pains (although no one could ever seem to diagnose me) - I was so ill. In all my previous attempts, I only ever took 1-2 days of work, but this time I was forced to take almost 10 days off.
Always trying not to constantly look at signs and trying to determine if its the damn drugs or real pregnancy signs. I had my hopes up and was convinced that not only 1 would stick, but they both would and finally, I would get my happy little family I've been fighting so hard to have. Well, my count was 7 - so a BFN (altthough it took me a while to work out what those initials meant!) and I was devastated. I'm not one to cry, but this time tore my heart out. I had been so good and took it easy and well, it still didn't work. I couldn't even verbalise my heartache.
Reading this site helped and 3 weeks later and I'm on day 21. DH and I couldn't book in to see ouf FS for our FET this month, but thought we would try again this month naturally. I've re-read Better Babies and have cut out caffeine, white bread and all those processed yummy things to see what happens.
I guess, my main reason for joining and posting this is - well, 3 weeks later and I'm hopeful again. After such devasting news, I'm amazed that we are able to pick ourselves up and try again. I just wanted to express this for any of the unlucky ladies who haven't been successful this month to understand and appreciate how strong we all are in going through this. I hope "Hope" quickly returns for you.

well i am actually geting some time to do some replies now!!
Nicole: yay on BFP!!
Smithy: wow thats a long way to travel and i too will not complain about 45 mins either.

MrsP: Welcome to this thread.:welcome:
Abbie:hope went well with fs, hope they growing
wishbaby: hope your bt went well mon
neptune: good job 9 eggs 7 fertilised, hope tfer goes well:confetti:
rach: hope you're doing your homework?! acu was good for stress for me too, good luck

brooke: hope egg collection goes well.:crossfingers:
bel: how did fs app go? glad af arrived

ruth: hope jabbing is going well.
lilmiss: glad your op went well now some recovery time, your doc sounds funny too. good luck with recovery.

kelly: count down to FET
Muppity: crinone is yukky, hope you get that BFP soon then no more crinone gel:egg:

jodie: hope all is well with you
Tlo: welcome to this site, i too found it with google search in jan or feb this year and i would not have been able to cope without it.

wow i think thats everyone!?

AFM: well i am booked in for a scan on wed 8th oct , so hoping all is ok for another natural cycle FET :bluedust::pink-babydust::pinksperm:

i hope this is the one and they say 3rd time is lucky?, i hope so for me.
nothing much happening, so chat soon.

if all goes well then FET on mon 13th.

:DHI TO ALL MY LOVELY GIRLS..
i hope you all doing really well i dont have much time at the moment so just saying hi .

JBM oh hunny this is great news about your scan on the 8th woohoo for you i to hope this is our 3rd time luky hun i rekon it it :dance:

AFM ive left a new message in my ttc journal about our nuse app and the trouble we had with her about our 2 embies so if you want to have a look feel free
BOTTOM LINE IS IM STILL GETTING MY 2 PUT BACK :dance:

thanks smithy
i'll have a look. good luck

Hi all

Good on you Smithy, if you want 2 put back then you should be able to. It's up to you to make those decisions and it's not like it isn't allowed to be done :p.

JBM: We'll be TWW buddy's with our double transfers together, although I'm hoping my transfer will be between the 6th & 10th (depending on the lining thickness and if they choose day 3 or day 5 embryo's). So will see you on the flip side (or the TWW thread).

Neptune: Congrats on your numbers. Will see you in the TWW thread next week as well, hope the transfer goes well. Are you doing 1 or 2??

Muppity: congrats on your promising transfer, will see you in the TWW shortly.

Hopefully we get some October BFP's :dance:

Everyone else: :hello: and :goodluck: with where you are all at with your journey's.

Ok there a few personals to get through so bear with me.

Rach 81: Hope the homework isn't getting to much for you and have fun with acupunture.

Bel: good luck with Jabbing this is where all the fun begins.

Paula: Good luck with sniffing.

Ruth 08: Good luck with jabbing, my DH makes me do my jabbing in the bathroom so he doesn't have to see it, makes me wonder how he is going the handle the delievery when we do finally get our BFP.

Lilmisshavachat: Love the name, Glad your lap went well from here on it is all forward steps toward that BFP.

Abbie: Good luck with trigger and transfer keeping :crossfingers: for you

Brooke2550: sounds like things are moving along nicely for you thinking lots and lots of happy thoughts for you.

Kelly D: Hope US gives good results and you get you ETD

Muppity Good news about your blastie sending lots of :bluedust::pink-babydust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: to you.

JBM: good luck with scan, hope you get your transfer when you want it.

Neptune: How exciting 7 fertilised sounds good hope transfer goes good.

TLO: :welcome: I'm sure you will find all the comfort and support you need here these ladies are great. So sorry to hear about last cycle those blasted letters BFN seem to haunt us all. 9Yrs TTC WOW you are an inspiration to us all.

Smithy: You go girl stand your ground if you want 2 put back you get 2.

AFM got my results from mon bt I don't know much about levels but the FS said my E2 was 391 and both my Prog and LH levels were low so I am to have another BT on thursday to see if there is any change.

and on another note my younger brothers second baby was born on Monday, a little boy who is 12 weeks Premature, apparently he cried when he was born so the doctors said that was a good sign. I haven't seen him yet as they live 8 hours away but I am hoping to get a weekend off work soon so I can go up and see him.

To anyone else that I missed I am sorry and good luck with what ever stage you are up to.

Hey Guys

Yep slowly getting through the work ...I think....:juggle:

Neptune: You must be stoked with those results well done! I'll be thinking of you on Saturday!

JBM: I really hope this is the one for you hun! :goodluck:

Wishing Baby: :lol: at DH not wanting to see injections! Tell him to put his big boy pants on....I make my DH do them for me - although he has had Type 1 diabetes since he was 3 so I guess he used to it!:lol:

Smithy - you go girl!!

TLO - :hug: It is an up and down ride that is for sure! I know exactly what you mean about hope retuning! I feel the same way- although it has taken me a lot longer to get there. So well done hun!

Lilmiss - glad you are feeling okay post op. Take care of you!Lots of :asleep:

Everyone - sorry if I missed you sending you loads of :bluedust:!

AFM -I love love love acupuncture - looks like i needed it too! Anyway I highly recommend it to anyone considering it! Very relaxing....

Take Care....

Rach xx

Neptune Congrats and best of luck with ET on Saturday. Hope all your embies keep growing nicely.

lilmisshavachat good to hear that all went well. Your doc sounds great. Its nice when they have a sense of humour.

TLO we all know how you feel. That emotional state at the end of a negative cycle is just unexplainable. This site is definately wonderful and you will be glad to have found it. It has been a life saver for many of us. Best of luck with this cycle. Just out of curiosity, do you have unexplained infertility, PCOS, etc. (Thats if your comfortable sharing it with us)

JBM i hope this will be third time luck for us both. Best of luck!!

wishingbaby congrats on the birth of your little nephew. Hope all goes well. Good luck also with your cycle. E2 at 391 is still early days i think but slow and steady wins the race so keep in there..

AFM, nothing much happening, still sniffing and taking my last provera tablet tonight so AF show be here in a few days. Im excited to get this cycle up and running.
