danyelle - So sorry to hear that, my thoughts are with you.
Melissal - What you are experiencing sounds very normal, in my first cycle i had EPU on a monday and experienced sharp pains and cramping on and off all week. The EPU is still an invasive procedure so i wouldn't panic. As with the progesterone, when TTC naturally your body was producing the hormone naturally whereas now it is techniclly being added (sorry if that doesn't make sense) so I would give it time for your body to adjust, you may react differently due to the fact it isn't quite a natural process. I understand completely how you compare and question every though, feeling and pain and automatically think the worst. My advice would be to try and keep busy, mentally, it will help make the time pass quicker and you won't focus on other matters ( sorry i know that this is easier said than done but it does kind of help). Enjoy spending time with your family. Hope this helps a little to ease your mind.
Renee - Thanks for that it makes a little more sense now as I was soo drugged up when they were telling me lol!!!
Melissal - I hope all the pain goes away is panadol helping at all???? If panadol isn't helping and you find you are needing more than you can take a day I would contact your FS!
Hello Ladies and a very Happy Valentine's Day to you all!
I want to thank you all again for your words of wisdom, advice and encouragement. Just what I needed! You're all great and you've helped me to take my next step. So thank you all, again. What would I do without you?
Now I'm off to baby sit my sister's three kids. What a way to spend a romantic day. LOL!
Ahh I can't keep up again, I read all the posts and now will [U]try[U] and do some personals.
Emerald ~ Still have FX for you! And you can now add me to your list - TWW, BT on 25/02/10, thank you
Miss K ~ Well done on that EPU, great numbers and now I will have FX you don't get OHSS, GL hun!
Renee ~ GL for your EPU, FX! And sorry you missed out on that job, can't win em all unfortunately.
Sorry to those that got BFN's this month.
Thanks for all your wishes for today, means so much.
As per the heat question, Ive also heard it is best to have cooler, shorter showers and definitely no baths or spas. I stupidly had a spa bath last time as I went away and hadn't read the details properly on discharge papers.
Melissal ~ Well done hun and will chat to you in TWW.
Hi to all I have missed, wanted to keep it short so I can go and rest again.
AFM ~ A successful transfer today of 1x5 day blasty and also had good news that the other 4 are still doing well, so If they make it to blasty tomorrow they will be frozen, FX!
GL all with , EPU's, Transfers, TWW and cycles! LOTS OF Big hugs!
Hi ladies currently on holidays so just quickly jumped on while doing other things just wanted to send my congatulations to Em Star so happy for you I promise to catch up with everyone else when I get back next week
Meanwhile would love to see some more happy news when I return
Just popping my head in to see how all you lovely ladies are getting along. I see January was quiet after Christmas and things but everyone is gearing up again now. I am praying for you all and hoping that there is plenty of BFP action in here over the next few weeks. I hope that even if it doesn't happen this month that 2010 will be the year for you all.
Danyelle - sorry to hear about your BFN hon. Good luck with NK cell test. I hope it provides you with some answers and it’s not to much longer till your name is up in lights on that wall of fame. x
EmeraldStar - A tentative congrats to you hon. You deserve it and I think it would be great for you to be the first to start off your famous 2010 wall of fame!
Loops - so glad to see you cycling again hon. Does this mean you sold the tractor? Did you get any eggs to freeze this time? Everything is crossed for you sweetie. x
KayKay, Murray Cod, Miss K, and all the other new ladies in here I don't know. Wishing you all the best for your cycles. Hopefully you won't be cycling in this tread for to much longer..... try to remain positive and stress free (I know easier said than done!)...... anyway I have a feeling that 2010 is going to be a great year.
mitf xox
Oh - almost forgot... I love the new Avatars ES and MurrayCod! Congrats on your RAK - you both deserve it!

AFM- I cant believe how well i feel, after the past 4 days or so been so sick, but had my BT this morning, and waited " all " day for the result's but they are in... nurse said my blood's are "Excellent " and that they are over 1000, i really dont know what she meant by over 1000, but the way she said "excellent" I know it must be good.. so, back for another Bt and US Wednesday morning and hopefully EPU around friday. Fx crossed. we only got one eggie last time that fertilized we are hoping for 2 this time, but would be happy with 1.
