    Nicoleh ~ EXCELLENT news hun, FX they continue to do well and all the best for your transfer

    Kass ~ thanks hun, I do actually think it was possibly implantation, because Im not getting them so much anymore and I had a tiny bit of pink come out yestie with the Crinone (sorry if TMI), im still sh** scared though that AF could be coming but am trying not to think of that. Hope you're well today and all ready for your transfer

    AFM ~ little bit stressed last night and today as DH is not going back to work today - he's quit. Just when our finances were coming together Im mostly worried about him though - he's not coping at all - he's been blaming the doctors and scientists for the lack of embies to make it and I keep trying to explain that its just nature. He had a run in with one of his work mates over it all or something and hence now doesnt want to go back. I think he needs counselling but typical male you can never tell them that without them losing it again

    Yep we do have them available still I think - might have to check. My step-mum is a really good cousellor so we may just have a chat to her but we probably should see someone on a not so personal level. 7 days wow - I know it goes quick when you think of it like that. I think I'm going to test tomorrow.
    Hope the hayfever disappears hun.
    I dont know about the symptoms now - by the hour they start feeling more and more like niggling AF pains - Im so scared. If this doesnt work I think I'll be so lost!
    I hope you are feeling more pos than me, fingers crossed tight for you still!

    Oh I wanted to ask you ladies in the TWW, are you sticking clear of the food you're not supposed to eat whilst PG? I think I understand most of them but what are deli meats exactly and processed meats - are the hams etc at the deli section of the supermarket ok and its just the packet ones you have to watch or is is all of them? And are calamari and curries a no-go? HELP PLEASE. Thanks

    Trishy - I hate hayfever! Are you allowed to have a cup of chamomile tea? It works for me! Only lasts an hour or so if it's really bad, but it's easy to have another.

    Loops - Sorry I'm no help with diet! I can't eat any deli meats due to a very restricted diet. (No dairy, gluten, sugar, preservatives, garlic, onion, etc, etc, etc..)

    The nausea has got a lot better after that first injection. No real issues now. Phew! Meanwhile, I just got back from Melbourne, had blood tests and ultrasound. It's day 5 of this cycle, and I have 8 eggs growing in each side. I've got to start the Orgalutran from tomorrow night. Two needles a night! eek. Next set of bloods / ultrasound is Monday. We've also booked DH in for another ultrasound on Wednesday, so hopefully I need more bloods / ultrasounds Wednesday as well! (DH's ultrasound is for a small lump they found in the previous ultrasound.. they're pretty confident it's not cancer or anything.. but they wanted us to have another U/S to check it's not growing.) Poor DH, so many issues..
    He seems to be coping ok.. but today I got "Well, I'm glad you're healthy.." said in a sad kinda way. I really don't know what I can say to make him feel better about all this, other than not to complain about anything (actually, it's been pretty good so far, I must admit) and keep positive. I'm not sure what will happen if they don't get any sperm. It's going to be harder for him than it will be for me.

    But, not thinking about that just yet. One step at a time.

    Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been in here for a while.
    First of all congratulations to everyone who made it to the 2ww and fingers crossed that this will be the one for you.
    Well, it has been a very stressful weeks with exams, etc. I am not feeling too well, as my cycle is not going great at all. I started off with quite a few follicles, but most of them didn't seem to grow. Three follicles grew, which is actually not that bad of a result for me considering my low AMH. I guess even though I was a bit disappointed, I was also happy that I responded at all (and I kept telling myself that it is quality over quantity). So I had an u/s on day 6, day 8 and today (day 10) and suddenly the three follicles have grown heaps and are now alreaday 23, 22 & 17mm (and a little one at 9mm / all others much smaller). Some of them grew like 7mm from day 8 to day 10. I can't trigger tonight because they don't do ER on Sundays, so trigger is tomorrow and ER on Monday. I am so worried it's all too late by then and they are going to be too big and therefore are of bad quality. I guess there is nothing I can do but wait, but just feel like everything is against me. I am annoyed that I didn't have an u/s on day 9 (as originally planned / clinic then said day 8 and 10 is fine), because then they probably would have been a good size. Anyway can't change it, it is what it is. They say that the 1st cycle is a bit of a guessing game.
    Sorry for the 'me post'!
    Good luck to everyone!
