Good evening everyone,

Wantaminime - Welcome. You've really been through the mill with TTC. Why does everything seem to come together at once?? Maybe there's a way to get the best of both and you could discuss it with your FS. It's hard to put career on hold when aiming for something that seems unobtainable at times. I'm sure you and DH will arrive at the right decision together.

Yogi - sorry your scan didn't go as well as you might have liked. I know everyone says it and it doesn't always make us feel better, but it only takes one. I hope it is one of your follies that you are currently nurturing.

Mildez- Thanks for you thoughts. Wish it had have been a BFP for you! I know the feeling of counting days. I was there not so long ago. Since I started my cycle the days have gone so quickly and now I"m about to have EPU.

JBM - hope you enjoyed your time out from BB.

Dreams - thanks for your thoughts.

LMM - 10/13 fert rate sounds great. My clinic prefers to do 2 days transfers. I know a lot of people here seem to have 5 days but my clinic is convinced that 2 days are the way to go. So I think the 3 day plan sounds great and it's good to try something new.

Lairdoz - thanks hunnie, hope that ear infection clears up really quick.

Kaybee - lol, I was telling someone IRL that I felt like a one man battery hen farm. I don't feel too bad but i wake up at night feeling uncomfortable. I just want them out now. I would seek more test too if I was you. Given the FS has raised a test for sperm fragmentation, has he had a full analysis and wouldn't this have already been included? I've had the clotting tests and the karyotype (chromosome test). They told me the tests would be expensive and I heard it was around $500, but I'm sure I have paid more than about $150 in total for the tests. The bills came in in dribs and drabs so it was hard to keep up, but I'm sure it didn't pan out to be as much as I thought. Maybe I have more bills to come in. They took about 9 tubes of blood for the clotting test!!!!

Hi to everyone else I have missed, and a special to the ladies in the TWW.

AFM; not much happening, had acupuncture today and just waiting the nurse call tomorrow to confirm my EPU and trigger time. I'm a bit scared of the EPU in terms of potential pain. Have a good long weekend everyone.
