sorry I'm too tired trying to figure out how to make my avatar so I can't be bothered with persies.... (Sorry!!) but I do hope everyone is well.... xxx
just reread this and realised how rude it sounded...! sorry guys.... totally in my own head today

anyway.... been on the computer all day playing with doll maker sites trying to get an avatar going.... more difficult than it looks you know!!!

anyway.... back to topic...

Kimbe.... TBH... the orgalutran does sting a little bit - but more that it is itchy afterwards for a little while. I was taking them at night so I don't know how long it lasted, but make sure you push out the air first - I didn't the first time and ended up with a big lump under my skin....... oops!! lol...

Misren - I found ET fine - just a bit like a weird pap smear.... funniest thing was that my FS (who also did the transfer) gave me a sheet to put over me, and I though "thank goodness"... until I realised there was a big whole in the middle - one of those surgery sheets, so he could see through the gap to my girly bits..... LMAO.....!! Try not to overthink the rest of it, I am sure that ALL women worry about whether they will be good mums and whether they are ready when they get preg. You just have a head start cause you KNOW a fertilised ova is in there!! Hope it went well xxx

Mia - how's the snorting going??? I do find waking up early on weekends for drugs annoying, but.... as you say... it's worth it in the end!! I did 8am and 8pm this time.... but a pain when I go out, means I need to take it with me. Last time I did 7.30, but as it was school holidays this time, I didn't want to wake up SOOO early!! My clinic is similar to Janie's - send me on my way after ET and quick discussion with nurses - felt weird standing up so quickly!

Vic - glad to hear that you feel on the same page with DH - I feel mine is sometimes well behind me too.... one reason why I get him to come to the ultrasounds, even though he doesn't need to be there, it makes him remain part of it, and hear everything at the same time I do.
You are doing an awesome job of the list - a big responsibility though, so if you get sick of it make sure you pass it on to one of us. We are more than happy to help if you've had enough. I think if it makes it easier, you just change the dates, and we PM you with any changes and "additional" information - so you don't have to be fully responsible for scrolling through everything and trying to figure it out!! There's too many of us for you to be on top of everything!!

Kerbear - the tww does suck - try and keep busy - if you can!! I was obsessed with all things bellybelly probably will be next week too!!

Miss B - hoping you are not going too crazy this arvo...!! good luck if you POAS today! here's hoping it's all good

Bee - good luck with the new job! We will stalk you too when you are ready to be back in here.... and as vic said... hopefully we wont be.... IYKWIM.... lol.... if we are, well.... we'll be looking for the extra support!!

Keta - how did the trigger go??? and the wedding??? good luck for ET, hopefully the embies grow well and there's a couple of frosties left xxx

Amy JB - How are you feeling??? tummy still exploded??

Jane - good luck for ET tomorrow morning!!!

liseyt - sorry the news is not what you had hoped..... happened to me last cycle and they put the meds up eventually - and we got there eventually.... you will too. I too have another US tomorrow to see where they are at. Enjoy the cig - I suppose you will have to get used to not having them soon, so a couple now isn't the end of the world..... (even if I don't understand the fascination)

Janie - yay for PUPO

goodness me - I hope I got the updates right!! So sorry if I missed anyone... big to all. Although I guess I have to accept that only some of us will be lucky this time - here's hoping that this is the "lucky" year for everyone.

AFM - another US in the morning (monday). On friday the nurse said she thought they may have grown enough by then (but you never know), my guess (going by last time) is trigger will be tuesday, for thursday EPU and saturday ET (or something like that....) Which works well for me, as I have a work meeting on wednesday which I'd prefer not to miss.... but if I have to... well..... i'd prefer to be on maternity leave anyway - so we all know what the priority is!!!

My ovaries are still talking to me today, but I have spent most of the day on the couch. Bit worried about the sore throat and sneezes that have started this arvo - but at least it means I will have an excuse for the days off if anyone from work asks!!

Does anyone know if the hormones make you more vulnerable to picking up infections?? I know it can in early pregnancy - it's just weird that I got sick during both cycles.... awfully coincidental (and a right royal pain in the butt!!!!) I was coughing my guts up for weeks after the last one and I REALLY REALLY want to enjoy this one more... especially as I have such a good feeling this time.
