    kmm, I was told to increase water and protein intake when I started the injections. The protein can help egg quality as well as try to help prevent OHSS. The water is supposed to help with the OHSS issue.

    Mummawannabe, I'm so sorry to hear you've had to go through all of that! I hope this cycle has a happier ending in spite of having fewer eggs.

    trubabe, FX the hospital can get their you-know-what together and get your mum's infection healed without further delay. I'd be pretty furious at them by now too!

    trubabe - I hope your mum is progressing well & you are managing ok.

    mellybelly - How are you going?

    mummawannabe - I can't agree more. the emotions are raw aren't they.

    melttc & juniper76 - thanks for your advice. my scan today showed alot of action in the left ovary, so I guess that's what I'm feeling.

    good luck everybody. x

    Hi everyone,

    Ok I really need to get back into the loop!!

    kmm - good luck with the eggies!! When is your EPU scheduled for?

    truebabe - I hope your mum recovers quickly!

    mellybelly81 - 12 is a great number!! Is the transfer going ahead?

    Mummawannabe - good luck with your transfer!!

    Renee - so sorry your FET was cancelled ... are they going to try again next month?

    AFM - On friday my AF arrived and meant the end to my short pregnancy. I didn't think it would hit me so badly - I mean, the FS told me that there was something terribly wrong with the embryo, and therefore my body would 'flush it out', but when AF came, it made me realise what was actually happening. Anyway, been in a bit of a sullen mood ever since - but I'm trying to lift my spirits because I know that it was never meant to be. So now I'm going to focus on my FET for April. I think it should happen around the 14th. And hopefully the little snowbubs want to stick and be ok!!

    M2B, it took me weeks to reach a point where I didn't just cry every time I thought of my early loss. Grieving is normal and necessary. You wanted that baby so much. I hope you can take some comfort from getting that extra step closer to success this time. I hope it bodes well for your next cycle.

    M2b - hi yeah we will do it next cycle, it does make sense to have a month off cause of all the drugs related to a stim cycle, FS said it's best to wait till they are all out of your system. It is likely that your cycle this month could be a bit longer than usual, happens to lots after a stim cycle. I'm on day 24 of cycle and i still haven't o'ed yet. Last time i came of a stim i had a 47 day cycle compared to a 32 day one. My accupuncturist was happy cause now she get smore time with me before FET. It is very tough emotionally to go through i know how you feel. This may sound silly but with my most recent cycle i knew that it had taken as i got a really tight feeling across my lower stomach, and i know the exact moment that changed and i could no longer feel it. But it's not till AF arrives with **TMI***heavy clotting that you realise what could have been. Stay positive, many say 3 goes is the average it takes to get your bundle of joy.
