    Emerald Star, no probs. Lol, I've had so many cycles where I "just knew" or "felt different"!! I was only right about it once though! However, there were a couple of things that were different last cycle, so guess what I'll be obsessing over from now on...

    Hi Ladies,
    I hope this finds everyone well and happy!

    Sonyalouise- Wow. wow, wow! I am so impressed with your amazing egg number and then to have 7 fertilise- congratulations ! I have everything crossed for you.
    To answer your question regarding dose, I?m on 150IU of Gonal-F, which I think is pretty standard?? What were you on?

    Airline- thanks for the tip on the icepack- that?s a great idea. So far I?ve been fine with the Gonal injections but I?m a bit more apprehensive about the antagonist, being a proper syringe and all, so I will definitely numb the area.

    I?ve also got a needle phobic DH on my hands so he won?t be of any use to me- he can?t even stand being in the same room! As I'm sure you will appreciate, I have been poked and prodded and had things shoved in unmentionable places through all this and my DH has had just two blood tests. The ladies at the pathologists have shown no concern for me whenever I?ve fronted up but DH got a lollipop the first time and a sticker saying, ?I?ve been brave today? the second time!!! Anyway...

    AFM- I?m on day 4 of Gonal-F and so far so good. I?m a little headachy and a bit bloated but nothing too bad. Just really hoping to get reassurance that everything is going to plan when I visit the FS on Tuesday for a scan.

    Again, I hope everyone is well and enjoying their Sunday. I'm spending mine doing uni work and planning to go out for dinner to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and DH's birthday.

    Meg. xx

    Hi Ladies
    Emerald star ~ I would wait until your BT on Tuesday before confirming your result...till then I have my FX for you!

    Tracy ~ GL with the job application ? perhaps it will take your mind off TTC just a little. Hope AF visits this weekend so you can get started on your next cycle ? hope this is the one for you!

    Sonjalouise ~ Wow what a great result ? two quality embies on board and 5 snow bubs...FX this cycle brings you a BFP and hopefully you won?t need your snow bubs for a while yet! GL with the TWW ? lots of and !

    Lise and Nix ~ I hope you are both relaxing and not too anxious during the TWW! Thinking of you both.

    Airline ~ Hope you are travelling well in your cycle ? sniffing and injecting....sounds exactly like what I am doing at the moment! I don?t think I could inject myself in public so well done too you!

    MotherhoodhereIcome ~ GL with IVF ICSI PGD cycle #2 ? hope this is the one!!

    Coral ~ Hope you are going well in your cycle - Be sure to take care of yourself especially as you are already feeling bloated ? drink lots of fluid. On day 6, I felt as though I had a permanent stitch and then I increased my fluid intake and felt fine ever since. GL with the BT tomorrow!

    Mitf ~ GL with the FET cycle...when are you scheduled for the ET?

    Loops ~ sorry no one I know needs a tractor ? but hope you have a speedy sale so you can complete another cycle before the end of the year.

    Meg ~ Glad to hear your cycle is going well so far....GL with your scan and I hope you have lots of big follies growing! Happy 5th wedding anniversary - hope you both have a lovely night.

    Anyone else I have missed ? hello and hope you are all well!

    AFM: I have a second scan on Monday ? this will decide if I have an EPU on Wednesday or Friday. I would prefer if it were Friday that way I can take the day off and have the weekend to recover.

    I was wondering if the changes to the medicare safety net (for IVF treatment) will come into effect on the 1st of Jan 2010? I have searched on the internet and I have yet to find anything that confirms this change. All the reports I have read state ?proposed? changes???

    Also when I injected myself on Thursday, after I removed the needle some of the FSH (in my case puregin) came running out where I had injected myself (sorry TMI I know). Has this ever happened to anyone? I don?t think I left the needle in long enough...I am so eager to get it over and done with quickly.

    Mel, the Medicare Safety Net changes were approved by the Senate last month. Check out the thread here:

    I don't believe details of the final caps have been released yet.

    *edit*
    Had a look after posting and looks like the caps have been published:

    juniper ~ thanks for providing the link...as this is my first IVF cycle I am just getting my head around the medicare safety net and it's benefits. I think I have a bit of catching up to do to understand the full impact of these changes.

    Mel - Quick answer to your earlier post. Yeah my first FSH Puregon Injection did the same thing but was just a little drop that came out. Im sure all will be ok, just if you can, leave it in just that little bit longer from now on!!!!

    Hope everyone is well!!!
