    Hi girls,

    I have been MIA the last couple of weeks feeling a bit down after last cycle. I have been following you all though, and sad there are no BFPs to celebrate. Boo.
    I thought i would be in the TWW by now, but something funny is happening - have had five blood tests this past week, and yet to ovulate. Which means i would be having a 34 day cycle (so far) which just never happens. I am regular as clockwork, 28 days. The last stim cycle has obviously been a shock to the system. The nurse said one more test on weds and if nothing is happening, then cancel, and try next month, which in reality will only be a week and a half away. I confess i secretly hope to cancel, because i dont think i am in an emotional state to have another BFN so soon after the last one. I guess wait and see on weds. Hmmmm.

    N2l - so sorry for your Bfn hun, hope you are ok.
    Blossum - my old TWW buddy, so sorry things didnt work out for you this time. Hugs to you sweetie.
    Williever - good luck with your transfer! Everything crossed for you!
    Elocin - same for you, you go girl.
    Saffy - good luckwith EPU,hope all goes well and you get lots of good 'uns.

    Big hey to everyone else who is counting days, jabbing, sniffing etc....!


    P.s.am watching sami lukas's show and hmmmmm, not sure about her?

    Morning everyone!

    Ntl - huge hugs - bfn is never easy.

    Melissa - have you been able to make an appointment yet? sorry you havent been having a good week, hope you feel more on top of things soon.

    Blossom - glad you've decided to try again. I hope the nk treatment and herbs will make the difference next time.

    Saffy - hope your pick up went really well today!

    Elocin - how did you go yesterday? Hope you get good fert results today!

    Jayejaye - hope your cycle is back to normal next month - I'm also a 28/29 day person and I hate that ivf can affect that. What day did you do your first Bt? I've started doing mine from day 10 as I usually o pretty early - is it possible they've missed it?

    Hi williever, jbm, loops, tantee, 1moreplz, albi, and anyone I've missed (sorry!)

    Afm - Bt tomorrow - hopefully everything is as it should be - jabs are making me sleepy and I'm ready to stop them now!

    Hi girls,

    Kass, thanks for checking up on me

    EPU went well yesterday, they retrieved 8 eggs and I've called the clinic this morning and 6 of them have fertilised. I *hope* they are good numbers!!

    Kass, GL tomorrow with your BT. I was the same towards the end of the jabs, very sleepy and very over it.

    Jayejaye, I hope your results get you exactly the outcome you want

    Blossom, I hope you're feeling like your old self again soon. There's nothing worse than feeling crappy.

    N2L, big hugs honey

    Saffy, I hope your EPU has given you some big, juicy numbers. Look after yourself.

    Melissa, sorry to hear you're not having a great time at the moment. If you're not happy with your clinic, definitely try and find someone else. I changed FS' after getting absolutely no help from my first one. There was no communication after my diagnosis of hydrosalpinx... she said to me 'go and have a chat to your husband and let me know what you want to do'... ummmmmm, no lady. I'm paying you the big bucks to tell ME what to do. And honestly, my new FS is fantastic. If you don't feel comfortable, walk away.

    Willi, how are you feeling in the lead up to Thursday hun? What a wonderful birthday it will be.

    Hi to anyone else I've missed.

    afm, I'm still feeling a bit sore and sorry for myself after yesterday. Still getting some bright red spotting and I find it hard to sit down for too long. Thanks goodness I've taken today off work as well.

    Just wondering, did any of call the clinic between finding out about the fertilisation and transfer to check on the embryos? The scientist just said to me this morning 'ok, see you Saturday'... can I call again on Thursday to check on my babies??

    Hi kass,

    First BT was on day 11, which i would think is ok. Normally ovulate day 14 previous FET's but who knows what the stim did to me. So today is day 19. As i said, i am not too fussed if cancel. Still a bit fragile emotionally. I hate how people ask how you are going and think that you should just be able to get on with the next cycle. And this time, i even had a "at least you have DS" comment from someone. I felt like saying "yes, and also so lucky to have such a pain in the arse like you for a sister in law". Ha ha.

    Elocin - they are awesome numbers!! Congrats, totally ok to call the nurse!!!

    The scan today showed the embryo had grown but didn't have a heartbeat. I'm booked in for a currette on Friday. Although I was prepared for bad news I still can't believe I'm going through this again.

    Nic - check away hun! I was called every other day with updates. I think it's natural o want to check up on your little ones.

    happybaby - so sorry hun. What can I say? It's terrible to have to go through what you are going through. Stay strong

    n2l - Although you had this in mind it is still so hard! Thinking of you xxx

    saffy - great news! Good luck with the transfer xx

    kass - there was a moment for me when I was over it! It is hard work, but try to keep at it. Hope there are some great eggs in there!

    Hi everyone. There's so much going on. I will try to keep up.

    afm - BT tomorrow to check levels. Thursday is finally the day I am just trying to keep up at work. One more day!!! I have started the progesterone pessaries. THis emotional ride has left me totally exhausted. I finish work and need to sleep. I am also quite an emotional wreck.....almost crying all day long.

    oh yes an today I went to the post office and had to face Mothers Day cards..........
