Nix, Coral, Airline, Tantee, Emerald and Lise- Thanks for the advice about time off work. I have decided to take the day off after the epu just in case. I am a primary teacher and dealing with kids all day can be difficult when you are not 100%. EPU will be Thurs or Frid and I won?t have to worry about the ET as it is on Sat or Sun.

My boss is very understanding and is happy to give me time off work when I need it. It is me who worries about how it will impact my class. It is very disruptive to take anytime off during the day then return to work later. Everyone notices when you not there even for an hour, so sometimes fielding the questions can be difficult. At least I won't have to explain why I am taking the first three days off when school holidays have just finished.

Motherhood- I agree totally with the wishing your life away comment. I thought once the FSH injections started it would go very quickly but it hasn?t. Sometimes I wish we could fast forward the tough parts. Although, I guess it is the tough times that make the good times so good!

Nix- I am not sure how the FET works. Are you having a frozen one transferred? What happens to the follicles that you have growing? Are they monitoring the follicles to help work out when you are going to ovulate?

It is rare, but when a person has natural fraternal twins it is when they have had two follicles grow and two eggs are released.

Tantee- Shame about not starting your cycle yet. Make sure you enjoy the break. Interesting how you need to book it that early, I will ask my FS about booking in another one if this ET doesn?t work. I don?t think they would be able to fit in another before the end of the year though. I know what you mean about jinxing it. I don?t really want to think about what we are going to do if this one doesn?t work.

Airline- I am sorry I don?t know if I can really help you but I would say that if AF has only just started then you are in the part of the cycle when all hormones at an all time low anyway, so it is not likely that you will begin the growth and ovulation process yet. Do you have a nurse that you can call on the weekend?

AFM- Not the best news I am afraid. Went in for my scan yesterday and was told if we had egg pick up on Monday or Tuesday then the most we could hope for are three eggs So my dosage was increased to 450 in the hope some of the other follies will catch up Egg pick up is now scheduled for Thursday or Friday and ET is scheduled for Sat or Sun. They will let me know Tuesday which one it is. So no flowers in the hair for me.

I have 4 follies that are between 15mm-19mm and 5 that are between 10mm-13mm. I was a bit flat yesterday, I was hoping it would be finished by Thursday next week, and now I am not very confident that I will even get any embryos. I have seen too many statistics about number of eggs fertilised and number of eggs that make it transfer stage. I don?t like my chances really. I have lowered my expectations considerably and am just hoping that there will be a transfer. When I started the FS was expecting that we would also get 4-5 to freeze.



Hello to all the ladies I have missed, I hope you are enjoying the weekend.
