    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.

    Hi Ladies,

    Just a quick post from me:

    mum-2-be ~ Sorry to hear about AF showing up. Hope you are doing ok

    trubabe ~ Hope your mum makes a speedy recovery.

    mellybelly21 ~ What an awesome result! When is your ET? Goodluck!

    kmm ~ Glad to hear that your scan went well! All that niggling pain was because your follicles were working overtime! Hope you get lots of eggies.

    Hi to everyone else - hope you are all travelling well in your cycles!

    AFM ~ Made an appointment to see FS next Tuesday to talk about the last two failed cycles and why we haven't been able to get any frosties. Plus to discuss a new strategy. I am not going to let two failed IVF cycles beat me! Renee I hope your right - 3 attempts is the charm!

    Hi Ladies
    Keeping it short but just wanted to say that I hope 3's the charm too. 3rd time lucky for all of us who've done 2 goes so far!!

    Im having a change next time too, so that we can hopefully get more eggies to freeze. I wont be doing down reg next time, I'll be doing more injections. My friend had a dream a while back that we would get there on our third attempt, I hope it comes true.

    GL all!

    Trubabe ~ Im glad your mum was finally able to have the surgery and I hope she recovers well and can concentrate on beating the cancer etc. Wishing you and your family all the best - hugs xo

    Hi girls

    kmm - GL with your pick up, I hope you're feeling a bit better now than when you started the injections

    m2b - *hugs*

    melttc and loops - I hope a change is exactly what you need FX

    AFM - suffering a little bit after EPU with some bloating and pain. Yesterday got the day 3 call from the embryologist and all 12 that fertilised on day 1 were still growing. So we're pretty happy about that, but they did say that between day 3-5 is when they do all the hard work so we need to expect a drop in that number, but from 12 I'm reasonable confident that we will still get a good number to freeze. My clinic have a one cycle off deal, but we are going overseas at the beginning of July so I'm pretty sure that we won't be able to fit a FET cycle in before then given that if it takes they do blood tests up to seven weeks.

    Hope everyone is having a good week.

    thank you everyone.mum has been doing ok.she is supposed to be going back to theatre sometime today to wash out when they operated and if nothing is "growing" then they will stitch her up.hopefully will get her up on her foot thursday if its been stitched.all her drs (infectious dept,oncology,surgeons) all decided that they should keep her in hospital til her mastectomy as a precaution.......duhhhh i been saying that to her for over a week.so her mastectomy is 2 weeks thursday and they previously said a week in following it so at present looks like she has at least 3 weeks still in hospital.DP and i are hoping to pay her a surprise visit over the weekend as i have had flu that i have only just shaken i had been advised not to visit her while i had it.

    How is everyone else doing?
