Okay, hoping this works second time round...!

Hi Calin - thanks for the reminder about being positive. I've been guilty in the last couple of weeks of feeling very sad and sorry for myself, but I too will resolve to see the positive side of things!

mitf - so glad that AF has finally arrived and you can finally get a start on things

Nix - how did your scan go today?

Emerald Star - 10 eggs Here's hoping you get some fabulous embies out of them. Interesting that your clinic calls you with daily updates, that must be reassuring. Hope you're taking it easy and resting up.

sonyalouise - I would think 8 is a good result. I'm only on my second cycle, but FS has increased my dosage after each of my first scans. Unfortunately he did say it was unlikely any more follicles would develop between the first and second scans, but you should definitely see lots of growth. Of course, they all say slightly different things so you never know...

tantee - i'm so sorry to hear about your BFN I hope you savour that glass of wine (or two) and are feeling okay about getting up and starting again tomorrow, or when you're ready. Do you have an idea of what you might do?

airline - glad it's the last pill tomorrow for you! Hope you and DH had a lovely dinner out

mel - i've only had one EPU (i'm assuming that's the procedure you're talking about?) and it was fine. FS even told me that during my EPU they nicked a blood vessel and they had to control the bleeding (and that's very rare apparently!!) but I certainly felt fine afterwards. I had some cramps (just like period cramps) but that was about it. And my FS usually sets my dosages, but i'm on a different protocol to you so not sure how it works with anything other than an antagonist sorry.

goodvibes! Hope you find lots of info and support here - I know I have.

coral - thanks for the well wishes. I've just negotiated with work reduced hours starting this week, which i'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited about. I'll have time in the mornings for the gym, or a walk, or just making lunch properly!

motherhood here i come - like everyone else here I just melted when I read about what your DH had organised for your anniversary. And immediately ran to tell my DH so he can prepare for ours in November...!

jilly - i'm on folate but that's the only supplement I take (other than B12 for a deficiency). My FS said not to bother with anything else, though I know most GPs will recommend others also.

Now i'm sure i've missed people and I do apologise After my epic post that I lost I can't remember what I was on about. But I do hope you're all doing well. I certainly do like the idea of an October wall of fame and will keep my fingers crossed we're all there.

AFM - had my first scan and BT of this cycle this morning. Bit disappointed - I only had 6 follies. FS has increased my Gonal-F again, i'm now on 450, started Orgalutran tonight and will have my second scan on Thursday. I'm just desperately hoping we don't go down the same path as our first cycle. FS did say that if we only had a few embies then we would transfer two this time...
