FGS, your little embie isn't floating, it's snuggling in good and tight. Keep thinking of it dividing and growing - the fact it is a bit slower doesn't mean anything. I've had so many promising embies transferred and still no result so you just can't tell. Rest up and eat well and enjoy some time to yourself x
Ehm, great news that they are going strong. I always get low egg numbers (no more than six) and we always get to blast stage so having less eggs doesn't mean you can't do it! Good luck for the transfer on Wednesday.
Nicoleh, congrats on your 11 eggs! Well done and good luck for Sat
Frugal, good luck starting your injections - it's always the exciting bit and I hope you don't get too many bruises. It helps to leave it out of the fridge for a little while before hand and to do it slowly.
Kaybee, hello to you! What's happening with you at the moment?
Oneday86, I know it seems weird to be put on OCP when you are trying to conceive. I'm as regular as clockwork too and I've always hated taking it but my FS also insists on it. It's a slightly longer cycle but more controlled and I've never had any probs with my period after having taken it so don't worry too much. It's just to make sure that you are completely baseline in your hormones before they start the stim. Good luck - I'm keen to hear how you go as we are considering maybe going through Westmead if our frostie doesn't make it.
Loops, 2 embies!! That's great. Oh I'm crossing everything for you that this cycle works. I know how hard it's been getting to this point, selling your tractor etc. I really really hope it goes your way xx
Kass, I'm sure they can do a day 4 but usually they decide on your FS schedule so it depends whether they can fit you in on another day. It's so hard to balance work with IVF and keeping stress to a minimum, easier said than done I know. Good luck.
Hi to everyone else.
Seeing my acupuncture/Chinese med doc today to debrief about the cycle and talk about what to do next. Will keep you posted. x
fatslimgirl - fx for you that this embie is the one, must be great to have a supportive boss, stay positive and enjoy your time off, I alway have the blasty pic out too
loops - best of luck to you with your 2 embies hope this is the one
oneday - so glad abbout your dh test results I know you said you were stressed - now you can relax. My FS also puts me on the pill as well
kass - good luck with the transfer, my fs only does day 5 transfer with me so I don't know about day 4, I am sure one of the nurses could advise
ehm - hope those blastys are going well and best of luck for transfer tomorrow
frugal - good luck with your first round at this, try not too stress and take it all as it comes as you will no doubt have read the hurdles all of us in here have gone through
kaybee - hope the O happens soon
Well scientist just called to say out of the 11 - 10 have fertilised, better numbers then I was expecting, now hoping & praying that I at least get 2 for Saturday (some to freeze would be a huge bonus as it has never happened before)
Kass ~ thanks hun. I had a day 4 transfer and they said the embies were a morolla or something like that - a good stage apparently. So Im guessing as long as the embie is at a good stage it wouldnt matter.
Oneday ~ Most people have the pill on a down reg cycle and I also had it for my antagonist cycle. It is to get the right timing etc before starting the hormones. It is the normal pill but you dont take the sugar pills. I guess the docs know what they are doing hun, good luck.
fatgirlslim ~ that is an awesome manager! Mine are really good as well. Googling did my head in when I thought I had an ectopic last time. Good attitude, be positive hun, yours will stick! Sending you loads of
Alice ~ Thanks so much, so kind of you hun, really appreciate it xoxo Enjoy the accupuncture and I hope you feel good after your debrief!
nicolah ~ WOW that is great, wish I had that many fertilise, I cant complain though as I have double chance inside me now. Fingers crossed they keep dividing and developing well hun, GL
Hi all, hope everyone is well
AFM ~ Still waiting to hear from my nurse about our other embies and hoping we get at least a couple to freeze. I woke up with a bit of a sore throat this morning not to happy about it but then again it could be a good sign.
Jeez you guys write a lot - I get a few minutes to myself and it takes an hour just to catch up! It's good - means there's lots happening.
Nic - wow - all is still going really well!
Kass - I think they like to keep your embies and your body as close as possible to the same stage, so day five emby should go into a 5dpo body. BUT - my FS also said that it is never exact. They never know exactly when you O, only that it was in the past day, so that way, you have a bit of time to play with. Does that make sense???? It is so hard juggling work and IVF but if I have to miss something that I really shouldn't at work I just think that if it was an emergency or I really did get sick I would have to take the day off at short notice. Anyway, it WILL work out
I rang my acupuncturist yesterday to make an appointment and she could only squeeze me in on friday arvo this week and then will be away all of next week. Transfer week! Wonder if I should look for somebody else or just not worry about it
Hey ladies more good news, AF arrived today so i rang westmead and i got in!!!! i was the last spot left so i guess it was ment to be and hopefully its finally our turn for a BFP if the good luck keeps rolling in i started on the pill tonight (red sugar one) and then im booked in to go down on the 9th nov to get everything sorted and get my meds! Im so excited i got in and that im getting started again. When i went to the chemist to get my pill the chemist said to me that i need a different prescription form for my lucrin otherwise it will cost $500!!! (it was on the same prescription as pill but they deferred the lucrin cause i dont need it just yet) im a little confused becasue with the clinic im at now they just gave it to me and charged me $150 for it??? i guess i will call westmead tomorrow and check. I hope you ladies are all well, i have my fingers crossed for lots of embies good for freezing
oneday - Congrats on getting in to the clinic! Hope this cycle goes really smoothly for you, and fingers crossed for a BFP this time!
nicoleh - Wow, that's a great result! Hope they are busily dividing right now and good luck for your transfer.
Hi to everyone else. There's too much going on here to keep up!
AFM: Am at home this morning, waiting to head off for my acupuncture and transfer at 1pm today. The embies were still doing well yesterday, so I hope they survived! I haven't heard from the clinic this morning, so I assume it is good news....
Kaybee ~ GL for when you start! Hope it comes up quickly
Oneday ~ thats excellent, excited for you, GL!
ehm ~ Glad you are joining us in the TWW. All the best hun
AFM ~ A little depressed today - we got none to freeze. Ive also come down with cold - it seems to be getting worse and Im very concerned it might have an impact on my embies - do you reckon it would?
so i guess it was ment to be and hopefully its finally our turn for a BFP if the good luck keeps rolling in 
i started on the pill tonight (red sugar one) and then im booked in to go down on the 9th nov to get everything sorted and get my meds! Im so excited i got in and that im getting started again.
