Em Star – Congrats on the BFP!!! You had me worried there for a while. I want to say that I am so so happy for you!!! It was so good to see your name in “Hall of Fame” and I am confident that all our names will appear there very soon too!! Have a healthy and happy pregnancy ahead!

Loops – I am excited for you!! All your symptoms and HCG levels sound promising!!! Try to relax and not stress too much before your next BT – easier said than done. I will be for you.

Mum-2-be – awesome result with 6 embies!!! Good luck with the transfer tomorrow. Definitely book yourself in for acupuncture pre and post transfer. I hear that acupuncture can significantly increase your chances of achieving BFP during IVF!!!

Brunette – Rest up – hope the 2ww does not do your head in!!

Lairdoz – Glad to hear that your dinner party went well on Sat. IVF is not easy especially when friends or family are able to conceive so easily. I told my brother and sister in – law that we were having trouble conceiving and were on our second round of IVF on Sunday. I couldn’t control my tears when I was telling them. Thank goodness for BB to be able to vent our frustrations, worries and share our successess!

Miss k & Renee – A big congrats to you both!! All the best for a healthy and happy pregnancy!

Juniper – Good luck with the upcoming lap.

Terry – Happy 1st anniversary and good luck with your next cycle!

Littlegem98 – hope you are doing ok.

Marcellus – hope you are well...when is the FET planned??

JBM – hope you are travelling well in your cycle. You mentioned that you are taking naturopathic supplements. Just for everyone’s information, I found out from my FS that you must avoid Vitex and St Johns Wort which are sometimes found in herbal mixtures. These can impact your ivf cycle. My naturopath has prescribed fish oil, calcium, magnesium, zinc. If I am not sniffing or jabbing myself I am popping pills 3 times a day!!

Tantee - wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hello to anyone else I may have missed...

AFM – Had my first scan on Monday. So far we have 5 eggs. Not a huge number....I was hoping to see more. The FS said it’s still early days so we will see how we go. I have another scan on Friday. Depending on how that goes EPU may be scheduled for either Monday or Wednesday. It's really strange this cycle, sometimes I forget I am actually doing IVF. I have no symptoms apart from big fat bruises on my stomach. I guess I am not so anxious as the first cycle so I am hoping I get a better result. Visited the acupuncturist on Sat – woahee. Those little needles have a bit of kick to them especially after a twirl! Give me IVF pen injections any day  I have another session booked in for Sat so hope it’s not as painful as the first session.
