Thanks n2l maybe i missunderstood cos im all over the place aftr this mornings news

N2l lik that's what I would have thought to hehe.

My FS will only go to 450 with my dose as she said the studies haven't shown significant enough changes by increasing it, so my clinic has made it that they just go to 450.
We got asked if we wanted to go straight into another one and because I was ok health wise they were happy to but it is hard on you as well without a break.
DH has said he does not me to go through all the drugs again once we got eggs today, cause i find the side effects pretty harsh on me. I didn't know he felt so strongly so I am hoping for some good embies so we can freeze some.
Don't give up hope Mia, I got really down from the cancelled one but it meant they started me on a higher dose this time and the follicles grew more evenly and got us to today :-)

Thanks heaps K :hug: i am just sooo dissapointed but i know there will b a solution eithr way and hopefully get to ur point soon xo im hoping i can go straight into the next cycle if it is the case, i havent had any side affects apart from a couple of headaches from d meds so far. Poor dh, he's lookin aftr you well. Hoping for frozen embies for u and heaps of good ones!

hi mia - with my last stim cycle i was told i had 4 follicles at my last scan, before epu. the trigger must have ripened a few last minute, bc i ended up with 11! i dont want to give you false hope, but sometimes you can get lucky. i hope that you do with this cycle. i was on a similar dose to you for that cycle (elonva, one injection lasting 6-7 days, then a 300 dose of puregon/gonal for a few of days after that).
also, not sure what protocol you are on, but it sounds like down reg if you are on the pill? if this cycle doesnt work out, you could try antagonist cycle which in some people can produce a better response, it has in my experience. fingers crossed your next scan shows some better news for you.

We got 8 for 8 :happydance: Yippee!!! They all fertilized.

I couldnt believe it when I rang the lab and they said all are going really well. I am :pray: that this is our round. Things between me and DH are good again. It must have just been the pressure and lead up to going through another cycle (and all the added hormones). And now everything is out of our hands we are just living in the now.

As we are in Adelaide we went pram shopping this morning. Just to really put pressure on ourselves :) Its nice to dream of what could possibly be one day though. DH got all cute pushing prams around the store. "sigh"

Transfer is 9.30am tomorrow morning SA time and it will be the 1st on DH will be here for. Our flight out is at 5.10pm and I intend to really rest with this one. I have taken the week off work, but may go back earlier if bored as DH starts working away again on Monday so it will be a long lonely week home alone without him.

I feel like life is starting a new circle. We sold my tiny old car and bought a new family size one (again, if you build it, they will come!!!) my investment property settles on Monday, DH is with me this transfer, and my parents move away after seeing me happily married they feel free to move away and do their own thing. So many changes, and I can only hope it means that a new circle of life is starting. Crazy how we look for so many signs.

Sorry for the all about me post, but know you will all understand xxx

Mia - Good luck on Monday hunni. If this cycle gets cancelled, just push for another one straight away. I have pushed for going straight into each cycle and have been doing cycles since October last year. I know it frustrating to have to wait another month though. Fingers crossed your follies grow between now and Monday.

Myturn and Amy, thinking of you and sending big bear hugs xoxoxox

Hi everyone

Thanks to all you ladies for your lovely support its SO appreciated at this time :grouphug:
I'm a little :boohoo: today after the day I've had my cousin has announced she's utd, Im very happy for her but also with everything I'm going through I cant help but think what cr@ppy timing to tell me today.
I put on a brave happy face and congratulated her ofcourse and wished her the best, as you do. And I sincerly meant it but in my heart I was thinking "why arent my follies growing?!" :( Shouldnt be thinking in me me and me but I cant help how I feel today. Hopefully monday is a better day..
Have a great weekend ladies :loveshower:

Kerbear - yay! for EPU. GL for t'fer

Mia - Keep your chin up, you are still in the game until told otherwise. They really have to look at your blood test as well - did they do one? I know my follies stopped growing altogether and my hormones levels dropped, that is why they cancelled my cycle. GL. I am sorry that you have also had news about a relative being pg - it really cuts deep :-(

Vic - Congrats on your results, great news

Hi to everyone else xx

Mia- it's hard when you get news like that when you are feeling down, it's not over till its over but, I am a walking example of that :-)

Thanks rhichichi we were so happy

Vic congrats on your excellent egg numbers, good luck with transfer

AFM - we got our phone call this morning about our fertilization and I am happy to say that 5 of our 6 eggs got fertilized. So happy about that now cross fingers they keep going good.

Hope you all have a good weekend :-)

Congrats Ker on the 5 little embies. Thats great numbers too. Any word on when transfer is? I always feel worse after transfer and hope you have time off afterwards.

Rhi - Good luck for tomorrows scan. I am praying that it all goes well
I am currently sitting in the Adelaide airport after yet another of my flights being cancelled. It now seems to be the norm for me, having flights cancelled.

Oh and I am PUPO!!!!

2 little day 2, 4 cell embies tucked in nice and tight. The embryologist said that although all fertilised 7 of them divided. So one fertilised but didn't do anything else. She dsaid that she is hoping to have 5 to freeze today and to call Monday lunch time to see how if they were suitable for freezing.

Its been a good trip DH and I are keen to get home. We DTD last night as per Miss B instructions, so we have done all we can now. I am really sore and the resident FS took ages to get it in, and it was quite painful, but was glad to have DH with me.

Must go have a flight to catch.

Love to all. I will update the list tomorrow, unless someone wants to do it for me :)

Congrats Vic on being pupo so happy for you, wish we could put 2 in but our FS will only do 1 to start with.
They are planning a 5day transfer which will be Wednesday unless they need to do an earlier transfer.

Have a safe flight Vic xo

Hooray Vic on being PUPO! My ET this time was pretty painful too. And go the 2 day embies! My BFPs have both been from 2 dayers.

Janie xxx

Vic, congrats hun on being PUPO! Good girl for DTD last night, they say you can also DTD the night of the transfer, but I didn't as I didn't know about that! FX for you now hunni :crossfingers:

Kerbear, fantastic news hun :)

Mia :hug:

Keep strong ladies and wishing you all the luck in the world as always xoxo

Hi Girls,

Vic- So glad to hear that you have two little embies on board and things are going well. Hoping the TWW is fast and painless!

Kerbear- Well done on the fertilisation! You must be thrilled! Fingers crossed they kick on perfectly for you. xx

Mia- I hope this evening finds you feeling a little brighter. I know that awful feeling of having to congratulate someone when you are going through something awful. I know I feel like so many people have jumped ahead of me in the queue and it's just not fair. Hang in there, Babe.

AFM: FET is scheduled for Monday and my FS usually does it early in the morning so DH is taking the day off and we will go and have breakfast and then see a movie so it should be a nice day. I'm working all weekend but I think that might be a good thing as it limits how much time I can spend thinking about it. Last TWW I really turned obsessing into an art form so I'm doing everything I can to keep myself calm and focused this time. We'll see how that goes...

HI to everyone else!

M.x

Goodluck for Monday meg I will be thinking of you :-)
