    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?

    Hey lovely ladies,

    Thanks for all the support - it really means a lot.

    Brunette ~ Thanks for a great lunch yesterday - it was great to be able to chat face to face!!

    Loops ~ I'm banking on your 'third time lucky'!! Everything is crossed for you!!

    trubabe ~ GL with your lap today. I hope you recover quickly!!

    mellybelly81 ~ that's great that they are all doing well! Is your FS taking them to Blasto? When is your ET scheduled for?

    kmm ~ good luck with your EPU on Friday/Saturday (I hope you weren't planning to go away for easter!!) - Let us know how many eggies they see in your scan today!

    melttc ~I hope you get some answers from your FS on Tuesday. Who is your FS?

    Renee ~ Thanks sweet. Have you o'ed yet? I guess it is just a waiting game for you now to get onto your regular cycle? I hope your body gets back to normal soon so you can do your FET.

    juniper76 ~ Thanks - after reading your post I don't feel so silly about how I feel. Thanks heaps!

    Mummawannabe ~ how did your ET go? How are you feeling?

    AFM ~ AF has ended now, so its now a lot easier to move on to the next FET. I'm going into see FS next Wednesday for a BT (day 12) and I guess he will let me know if I should skip this month (April) and let my body get back to normal, or whether we should do it this month (it would be scheduled for around 14 April - provided that my body is acting normally!!).

    Are there any thoughts about whether one should go straight into a FET after a stim or whether I should wait a month? The thing that worries me is that at the begining of April I'm away on business on and off and one of my trips I won't fly back into brisbane until the night of the 13th of April.

    Mum 2 B: So sorry to hear od your loss it's normal to grieve.
    Loops: Third time will be lucky plus you guys are going on a little holiday so you'll be super super relaxed after wards whichc should make a massive difference should make little bubba stick.
    MellY" Goodluck chick
    hello to everyone else who i have forgotten mind is all ovwer the place atm with cows calving left roight and centre. definately keeping us very very busy and on our tippy toes.
    I finally got hold of the nurse after playing phoine tag for two days and we finally have our dates I keep taking the pill until the 20th april. I start on the nasal spray on the 16th april (any tips for this ladies would be very much appreciated. I have to do one in the morning and one at night) then I start the injections on the 28th april. I have a bt roughly on the 6th may and then a U/s on the 7th may (loops did mac send you to sale for the U/S?) then they'll tell me what day the following week we'll be doing the transfer. Phew am really excited that it's finally happening and we won't be in limbo for much longer.
    Othyerwise have been great just body has other ideas atm strongly suggesting that af should be coming af back pain bad and very very very tender nipples hope it doesn't last too much longer.
    Goodluck everyone on your current and next cycles hopefully we can have some more bfp's in here.

    Trubabe ~ GL with your Lap hun, hope they clear you out if anything there.

    Mum-2-be ~ Thanks and everything crossed for you too hun!!

    Trueblue ~ thanks chicky. Yep the holiday to Tassie will be great - I can't wait. We go ON 10TH May - so not too far away.
    GL with the Synarel - you get used to it the more and more you do it, not very pleasant at the start. Yes I went to Sale for everything apart from the initial consultations with Mac which were at Traralgon consult suites and BT's done at any Gipps Pathology venues.
    All U/S's, EPU's and ET's were done at Sale.
    FX for you guys!!

    AFM ~ trying not to think too much about TTC although as we all know that is near impossible and planning trip to Tasmania. Then hopefully do another Stim cycle in July. In the mean time always hoping for natural miracle of course.

    GL all!! xo

    Hi girls

    m2b - my clinic says at least one cycle to get all hormones back to normal and give your body a rest. Its their standard practice to go to blastie stage (but I think they consider day 3 in certain circumstances)

    Thanks everyone for your words of support. Have been waiting patiently for the lab to call about my embies, but got sick of it and have just called them myself. I have six they will freeze today, BUT three of them were ones that they originally didn't think had fertilised, so their quality is questionable. They will check again tomorrow and if any of the remaining ones are suitable they will freeze as day 6 blasties. So a good result to have 6, but a little disappointing that out of 23 harvested (and the reason I couldn't do a transfer this cycle) there are potentially only 3 good ones.

    Does anyone know about the quality of late starters and day 6 embies?

    Mel
