Loops - woohoo for being booked in again!!!! Hope the next few months fly by for you so you can jump back on the rollercoaster! As for me being on the colorado protocol, when we had recurrent m/c and implantation failure testing last year, my ana came back really high. We can't find any reason for it so just in case, we are doing colorado. Which is basically aspirin for the whole cycle, steroids and antibiotics for five days post trigger plus extra oestrogen to hopefully dampen down my immune system a bit, stop it rejecting any poor wee embies trying to burrow in . I had heard vaguely about it and I talked to one of the consultants at work who has done ivf herself and she suggested I talk to my FS about it.

Happybaby - great that EPU is so close!! Hoping you get a nice little haul. I think antagonist and microflare are different - at least that is what my little handbook from the clinic says. I have been on the pill, just cos my clinic isn't that big so I need to fit in with them but on Monday morning, I start with a teeny tiny dose of Lucrin equivalent and have this twice a day. On Wednesday, I carry on with this little dose but start 300u Puregon as well. Bit worried about the Puregon dose as for me, it seems massive. Anyway, hoping this will be short and sweet for me too. I think the theory behind this protocol is that the small dose suppresses ovulation but works with your body's natural FSH to hopefully produce more eggs. Or something like that anyway.

Saffy - grrrrr that is SO annoying of your old clinic. Did they finally send it off?

Tantee - hope your hand is starting to feel better. So much for things being less stressful taking a break, what, with that, your skin cancer and bloods. Glad you have a plan in place for next cycle regarding your results though and I guess you have a possible and treatable reason why things haven't worked so far which is great. Here's hoping the clexane does the trick next time round. I have the ana thing too, hence the colorado. This other blood thing I have is complete opposite to it though and causes me to bleed a bit too much. Its really rare (literally 1 in a million - I am special hahaha) and we are still waiting on the genetics for it. But it is either . . . wait for it . . . dysfibrinogenaemia, hypofibrinogenaemia or hypodysfibrinogenaemia. I can't even pronounce them so how could I possibly have it!!!! My sister has it as well and she had a haem referral and I think they need to see me because it is familial and we are both affected. Looking back, I think that just about every single person on my mothers side of the family has it - lucky we are a small family

A big HI to everyone else out there - Tantee and N2L at your twin hubbies!!

Six more sleeps till the jabbing begins. Bring it on
