    Hi all
    Im so sorry want to do persies but I just havent got the time and have struggled to ctah up - there is so much going on in here.
    To Babytruj and others that have had difficult news and BFN's - im so sorry and feeling for you - big group hug. Hang in there and keep trying - we can all do it!!

    Hi to the newbies and wishing you all the very best!
    To all those currently waiting - fingers and toes crossed for you all. And GL to those jabbing sniffing etc.

    AFM ~ Have just ovulated about 6 days ago and have been getting hopes up because Ive had some strange tummy pains, back and neck pain (same as what I had with last BFP) and a lot of mucous (sorry TMI). So Im hoping but trying not to get too excited. Guess I'll be testing after the weekend - dont think i'll be able to help myself but I'll see how strong I can be.

    Big hugs everyone and sending out lots of babydust and stickyvibes!!!
    xoxo

    aagghh...was just at the end of a long post and lost it when I accidentally touched a wrong key.

    Loops - you go girl, a natural BFP would be fantastic, crossing my fingers for you

    Minime - hope your transfer went smoothly and the embie is making itself comfortable for the long haul

    Justina - I seen a lot of girls on BB who bleed before getting their BFP so hang in there. If you do need further tests, and hopefully you wont, I saw a thread about this in the Long Term and Assisted Conception page. I asked my doctor to give me all the tests named in here. GL with your BT

    Trueblue - make sure you take some time to do something nice for yourself

    AFM: I have my down reg scan tomorrow so hopefully I start stimming tomorrow. I try and make a nice morning of it (well as much as you can before work) and go early read a book or some work stuff and have a hot chocolate. Not looking forward to the scan as I still have AF. Saw my naturopath today and feel like I've paid a small fortune...I keep forgetting about that IVF payment on my VISA.

    Well, I'm sitting here almost literally twiddling my thumbs. I hate the waiting game...

    Juniper - Thanks for the kind words and the sound advice. I don't think I have OHSS, just some stomach cramps. I hope they don't affect implantation though.

    Loops - Good Luck, FX'd for a natural! That would be great!!

    Lisa B- Hope your down reg scan went well and you can start jabbing yourself as soon as possible!! Thanks for the kind words!!

    Trueblue - Good luck getting back to work. I'm sure the time will fly!

    AFM - Had my ET yesterday. They said I had an excellent expanded blastocyst and the doctor upped my odds by about 5% (still at a 50% chance). That made me feel really good, but I was terrified that it was going to fall out!!! They have a really old lift there and it bounces you when you get to the floor and I was pretty much freaking out, then a nice nurse told me how my endometrium was like a jam sandwich and it couldn't go anywhere, even if it wanted to. That made me feel a bit better. Bed rest yesterday, and today pretty much the same. I don't want to rush back into my normal activities, I need some 'me' time.
    Hope everyone is well, GL with all your planned endeavors.

    Just a quick one from me just now.

    Had my down reg scan, all is going well, yay! Starting Gonal tonight. I can't believe I got the Gonal on medicare...something for free!!! I've had to pay for all other medications all the time including the puregon when i was doing OI. Is everyone getting Gonal for free? Will I need to pay for Crinone? I was paying about $200 a month for progesterone pessaries for OI.

    Lisa, I'm surprised you couldn't get the puregon through the PBS. I've never had to pay for either the puregon or gonal-f. I can only think that maybe you hadn't fulfilled the conditions for prescription for some reason? I've always had to pay for the synarel, but the crinone for the 2ww has been included in the cycle price. Any progesterone after the beta has to be paid for. I'm on the progesterone pessaries instead of crinone this time, and on the weekend we paid $80 for a week's worth. Every cent is worth it if it means a baby in our arms though!
