    Where did THAT come from...?

    OMG...!

    this morning's scan... out of NO-WHERE... I have 8 or 9, ripe, juicy, fat follicles!!!

    The nurses and doctor were quite shocked... and I am AMAZED!!!

    I am completely blown away... seriously... this was TOTALLY not expected! Last week the nurse said I'd be good to get 2 follies... but amazingly... all of these other ones have decided to grow!!!

    So 2 more days of Orgalutran and Gonal-F... Sunday night at 7:30pm Trigger injection - and Tuesday 7:30am EPU...

    I can't even begin to describe how THRILLED I am... honestly! I had prepared myself (as best as I possibly could) for bad, bad news... and the news could not be more AMAZING!!!

    Miss K - you might just be right about the stubbourn ovaries thing!!!

    MoonFlower - thanks for keeping me in your prayers... I am convinced this is nothing short of a MIRACLE!!

    MurrayCod - hope your ET went great today! How are all your 'little ones' coming along?

    Terry - good luck with your natural 2ww...! Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts!

    Rob - yep! Ponde is so close to Cowirra! We drive past their everytime we go up

    I am so... sooooo happy. But I am so scared to get excited because I know every step is a challenge... ****breaaaaathe****

    Hi everyone......Sorry I've been MIA for a few weeks so I'm not sure what everyone is up to. But I hope that 2010 is going to be an awesome year for all of us!

    I start a new full stim cycle to tomorrow. Switching to Gonal F this time as opposed to Puregon.....I'm only on 112.5IU (I was only on 100IU with Puregon) that seems to be quite low compared to everyone else? I know that Dr is worried about over stimulating as I have PCOS but last time I only got 7 eggs which isn't huge, the time before that (before I started acupuncture) I only got 2! It just seems a bit too cautious to me? Anyone had any experience with this?
    Anyway.....if last time is anything to go by my EPU should be last week in Jan. I am trying to be so positive about this one!!

    Hope you are all doing ok, wherever you are up to. I'll pop in again a bit more regularly now so hopefully I'll get back up to speed.

    Simply the Best!

    Hello ladies!

    I just gotta start with you FGS - I have to buy a vowel because O my gosh!! That is the most brilliant news I'm going to hear all weekend! Looks like your two possible follies have had a stern word with the rest and they've played ball. I couldn't be more excited for you right now. So, so, so happy for you. Will continue to pray for you and your harvest time. I shall now do the dance of joy

    EmeraldStar, you made me laugh about sniffing and your sinus' improving. I guess that damn stuff has to be good for something aside from baby making, huh?

    Truebe, so sorry to hear about your Mum. Hope everything goes well and that you can take some time to decompress.

    The lab called me this morning. Threebie (3rd embryo) didn't make it. So I'm a little Was really hoping it would get to blasty. I'm grateful for our twobies (2 embryos) and must now spend the next 1.5 weeks not getting too excited nor too anxious. It's a fine line we walk, is it not ladies?

    Hope you all have a great weekend!

    Hello fellow BB ladies,
    I usually post in TTCAMAL but I have a specific question I thought you might be able to help with.
    I had my 3rd IUI today and my donor's (fresh sperm not frozen) pre wash count was 19 million with 95% motility then post was it was 3 million with 95% motility? I'm obviously missing something about this process because I thought it took away unwanted fluids and poor sperm, so where'd my other 16 million go? Do they just not survive the wash? I can't see that they were all poor morphology if they had 95% motility!

    Please let me know if you can explain this.

    Thank you.

    Hi all you lovely ladies

    Its been a while since I've been in here, trying to catch up on all the news. Hope you're all well and happy and had a good Christmas.

    Trubabe - sorry to hear that things are getting more complicated with your mum, thinking of you and her and sending big hugs

    FGS - so exciting about your follies! Thats great news. Ovaries are very strange creatures indeed... so glad your perserverence paid off!

    Hi to everyone else I've missed!

    AFM - 2nd IUI failed last week, so we're having a month off (we're going away on holidays tomorrow), before one last IUI attempt next month, then its on to IVF. My girlfriend who is a GP reckons I should cut my losses and go straight to IVF, am seriously considering it... See what happens this month, I guess! You never know your luck

    Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
