Good morning ladies,

Lisa B - best of luck with the scan today. hopefully youll be jabbin away soon, and enjoy ur hot choccie too!

Loops - ohh a surprise natural pregnancy would be lovely, fingers crossed for you. i have heard lots of stories of couples falling while in between ivf cycles, hope you are one of them.

Terry - good luck with the FET

littlemissmoo - sounds like 4 could be your lucky number!!

Babytruj - so sorry to hear you had a chemical preg, i have had a few of them and it just s%#ks! we work so hard to get a positive results and then the excitement and hope comes crashing down at the next bt. just have to pray that next time it well & truely sticks take is easy, be kind to yourself xxx

Justina - did you have ur bt yesterday? maybe it was a bfp & you are still off celebrating, oh i hope so!

MiniMe - fantastic effort!! 6 perfect embies, i would be over the moon to get 6 embryos as i usually only get about 2 or 3 if i'm lucky. When is the transfer?

With regards to the stress issue, as Lairdoz said IVF is a stressful process in itself and lots of women get preg with ivf!! I have come to accept that anything can happen during an ivf cycle and i try really really hard to take each step at a time. its so hard to do but if you can try and not "run away" with your hopes and dreams and just tackle each set of results as they come up then it can help i think...the number of follicles does not necessarily represent the number of eggs you will get....the number of eggs you get will not necessarily be the number of eggs that fertilise...and the number of fertilised eggs you get does not mean that they will all grow to day 3 or day 5 and be transferred. Anything can happen in this game and i think the trick is to expect the unexpected...or try not to expect anything at all and maybe be pleasantly surprised!!

Anyway, sorry am blabbing on a bit. Big hello to all the lovely ladies here who i have missed, am sending lots of calming vibes and good positive energy your way.
Still waiting for the wicked AF to show, she is usually a few days late
