Saraz 3 out of 4 is great - it's true that not all embies make it to day 5, but the ones that do should be pretty strong - hopefully you'll be extra lucky and they all will. I got 4/5 this time. I actually thought 5 days had a better rate than 3? Sounds like you've had a nice night - it is a really special time - I've got fx for you!

Marie - Sorry! Didn't intend to worry anyone! I was knocked out and I choose to believe nothing was said

hi again everyone,

Just to let everyone know, I'm on holidays (one of the perks of being a teacher!) therefore i have too much time on my hands and can't help going back to this site when i really should be planning for next term! So if anyone wants anything googled, let me know and i would be happy to have an excuse to stay on the net all day. Dr Phil isn't that exciting this week and the midday movies are catered for kids, being the holidays. I'm so bored!

So Sara, I have been googling blastocyst tranfers (only from what appears to be genuine medical sites) and i have some good news! Apparently only the strongest embryos will survive to day 5 which means that even if one embryo only survives to day 5, it has a greater chance of implanting and becoming a bub. One site even had a picture of a 5 day old blast with a picture beside it nine months later as a baby boy. I know its easier said than done but have hope.

Just a question for everyone out there. I am currently living in my DH's small town of where he grew up and knows everyone. I only have his friends wives as friends at the mo and every single one of them is either pregnant or has just had their baby. I find it really awkward at get togethers when every conversation is about teething, pooing, or general baby ga ga. I know they would never mean to upset me and i dont mean to offend anyone here with kids but how do i get them to change the conversation? I know it sounds stupid but every time they start talking i just feel like an absolute outsider with nothing to add to the conversation.

Saraz: Being our second time and not having to have anything else this time other then the puregon jabs it's alot less emotional and stressful it's just sort of happeninggive it a few days for the puregon to kick in and I'll probably be singing a different tune lol
MArie: That situation would suck feeling like you have nothing to contribute to conversations my little sister had the problem in the opposite she was the only one out of all the women she knew that was a mum and a young mum at 19 so noone understood her or why she couldn't come out at the drop of a hat. Maybe you could drill them on questions about pregnancy lol I do I am fascinated on how different everyone is and whats stage they are at

Hi Ladies

I am still running around like a chook at work and can't get on the computer at home at the moment as I am renovating the lounge.
So a real quick post today.

Welcome to all the Newbies. Hope your stay here is short and sweet. Congrats to the lucky ladies with BFP's. Enjoy the next 8 mths as you deserve it

Loops - you really can't stay away can you. lol. Thats ok I for one enjoy having you around.

Christie J - as I understand it there is no set day the do egg collection it all has to do with follicle size and estrogen numbers. I am on my first stim cycle and this is what my nurse is telling me.

AFM - Feeling like a pin cushion. I am getting used to the needles now. Never thought I would ever say that!!!! They have uped mt puregon dose to 200iu as my estrogen is being really sluggish. Am feeling so bloated that I have had to undo my button on my trousers today. Have a BT tomorrow to how everything is traveling and see when I can have a scan.

Have a great weekend all.
