    Hi lovely ladies
    Sorry ive been MIA the last few days, work is getting busy now (Tourism) and also they are cracking down on the amount of time we are on non-work websites. I'll have to do more at home now -ohh.
    Ive had a shocker of a week 2 outside TTC that is.

    Anyways, I'll try and catch up

    Lise ~ Huge congrats, such great news - very All the best for a H&H 9 months

    There has been some great follie and egg collections - well done ladies and all the best in TWW and for those with transfers.
    Sonyalouise ~ I also post in TWW and this thread because you only get in TWW at that particular time, so I think its fair.

    Motherhood ~ so sorry about your troubles, I truly hope things improve for you.

    Wishes ~ wlecome back and all the best with your cycle

    Thanks to the ladies who've asked about me and for your positive thoughts.

    AFM ~ Feeling a bit stressed with everything right now and AF hasnt arrived yet but Ive got migraines at the moment so not a good sign at all. Think she will def be here this weekend. And the nurse has called to see if we will be going ahead in Dec but im still not sure so havent called her back yet. We probably could scrape up the money but I dont want to be in the same stressed situation as we were last time so Im actually strangely enough thinking perhaps we might not do it until the tractor is sold or at least our calf feeding trailer we have for sale. It would be more waiting but perhaps less stress. I dont know that I want to take out another loan. Maybe im crazy though!

    Good morning ladies

    Mel- Glad ET went well, I have everything crossed for you

    airline-((hugs)) to you, insomnia sucks, I hate it so much. 6 eggs fertalised is an excellent result, I hope they all continue to divide nicely for you. Do you know what day ET will be?

    wishes- thanx heaps for explaining that & I wish you all the luck in the world too, I hope this is the one

    Sonya-thinking of you today & FX for your BT

    Coral-11 still is awesome, Best of luck for ET tomorrow FX

    Loops- ((hugs)) to you, maybe its better to wait, if your going to be a ball of stress. GL with whatever you decide

    For you girls Ive missed.......Im sorry, its hard to remember everyone. But hope all is well.

    AFM- Triggered last night at work, ugh, felt like a junkie or something, had to hide out in the bathroom to do it, there was no where else I could really do it without the risk of someone barging in. Anyways wasnt too bad, as in it didnt hurt.
    My poor belly is soo bloated tho I had to change shirts 3 times before going to work trying to find something that would fit and I could barely do my pants up.....all this with only 4 follies
    Anyways D-day tomorrow, hoping it will be the last EPU I have to have

    Hi girls,'
    Just thought I would let you know that I had the expected negative test today. I POAS this morning before I left and it was negative, so I was prepared for it (as much as you can be)


    Tracey- I completely understand about feeling like a junkie, I had to inject at a couple of different places and was terrified someone would walk in. Once we were pulled over on the side of the road!
    I hope you have great results tomorrow.

    Wishes- I must have been writing my post at he same time as you were last night. Thanks for answering Tracey's questions. Loks like I will be heading down the same path as yiou as I also have a problem with my lining.

    Coral-I hope everything goes perfectly tomorrow.

    Loops-I would say do what causes you the least stress. If waiting for the sale of your equipment would mean less stress in the long run, then I say wait. You really need to go with your instincts on this one. Especially if you are busy at work, the stress of a cycle could make things very difficult to cope with.

    meltcc and mitf- I hope the TWW is not driving you too insane. I think I was bordering on insanity for a while there.

    AFM not sure what to do. thinking of taking a break as this year has been a bit tough emotionally and physically. I will contact the nurses tomorrow and explore my options. Hope everyone is enjoying Friday evening.

    Good Morning Ladies,

    sonyalouise-I'm so sorry for the negative result. As prepared as you were it still stinks, doesn't it? This whole process is so cruel and just goes to show how strong the mummy instinct is. I think it sounds like a great idea to take a little time to regroup and just breathe. Thinking of you Honey. xxx

    melttc- Good work on the ET! I'm also glad to hear you are cramping (well not glad..., you'll work out what I mean) as I am too and was worrying a bit.

    AFM- ET was yesterday morning and all went smoothly. Our little embies have performed well. I mentioned the other day that all 8 collected fertilised and of those 4 (including the one transferred) were already at 8 cell stage and in the words of the scientist "in the best condition possible", another 2 were looking a little raggedy (but she thought that may have been because they were dividing at that time) and two hadn't developed properly. Worst case scenario is that we will have 3 perfect embies to freeze but may end up with as many as 5. The actual transfer was fine and I came home to get myself comfortable and DH went back to work but after an hour or so started cramping. It was nothing too severe and similar to the way I was feeling once I started the Crinone so I don't know whether to worry or not. Other than that I feel fine but I am a little moody- my normal self one minute and then irritated and crabby the next. The way DH has skipped through all this unscathed is particularly irritting to me at the moment! See, there goes the mood!!

    Sorry for the lack of personals girls- I am thinking of you all.

    Have a great weekend.

    Hope you don't mind me joining in. I'm new to Belly Belly and wanted to say hello to you all. It's been lovely reading all your stories and sharing in your journeys. I'm in the middle of my first IVF/ICSI cycle. Started on 150 Puregon. My FS only found a couple of follicles first scan and increased dosage to 250. Had my 2nd scan yesterday and only have 3 follicles. FS has increased dose to 450 and thinks we still have a fighting chance so we've decided to go for it. I knew the first cycle would be experimental, but can't help but feel disappointed. I know 3 follicles at this stage is better than none, but logic says 3 follicles means lower chance of eggs which means an even lower chance of a good embie. I cry at the drop of a hat these days, blaaah. I have my next scan on Monday and have fingers crossed we're good to go for EPU on Wed or Fri. Bye for now
