Hi everybody,

I'm sorry for being so quiet- I've had an unbelievably busy week not the least of which has been all this attempted baby making...

Motherhood- Oh Sweetie, I'm so sorry to hear you going through this turmoil. As if all this isn't challenging enough without FSs going AWOL. My best advice to you is to focus on what you can control- taking your drugs, your diet, sleep (if you can) and generally being kind to yourself. As wonderful a resource as the internet can be, sometimes ignorance is bliss and you may just get yourself more confused and stressed by searching for information. I know it is so hard but put your faith in the experts that they know what they're doing. I think they can get a little bit blase about all this as it is their job and sometimes forget the emotional and physical toll it takes on us. Thinking of you, Honey.

Nix- I'm so so sorry to hear your news but so pleased to hear you are feeling better today. Keep your chin up, Honey. Your anonymous support network is with you every step of the way.

Coral- My Lord, 27 eggs! That's amazing but is it good or bad!! Surely there'll be some good one's amongst that lot? Please keep us updated. When are you scheduled for transfer?

Melttc- Stay positive about the 5 lovely eggs you got. Hopefully they are strong and healthy and ready to do the job. for transfer.

Sonyalouise- try to stay positive, Honey. I have everything crossed for you.

AFM- I had my second scan on Friday and the news was much better that the previous when there were only 5 follies. On Friday there were 3 on each side that FS liked the look of, a few smaller ones that he thought might be ready by EPU and a couple of larger ones that he thought wouldn't be the best quality. I left feeling much more positive and reassured that FS knew what he was doing. At my first scan when I expressed concern about the low numbers he told me that he was happy with my progress and that my E2 levels were indicating that everything was as it should be and it appears he was right.

EPU finally rolled around yesterday and we ended up with 8 eggs which I am thrilled about. That seems like a good solid number and now I'm just waiting for 1.30 when I can call the scientist. Fingers crossed.

To all those I've addressed personally and those I haven't, I'm thinking of you all.
