    Hi everyone

    oneday - yay! will be good to have some TWW buddies, I don't really talk to my girlfriends about IVF much and don't really have any friends who've had problems TTC or miscarrying so I'm really grateful to have others to chat with! Last stim cycle I ended up with 13 eggs and from those I ended up with 2 blasts. I do worry my eggs don't like the ICSI but we have had no fertilisation before so I don't want to risk it. Goodluck with your scan tomorrow!

    nicoleh - hopefully AF will come as scheduled so you can get started on time

    Kaybee - sending hugs and hoping that those 4 will stay strong ready for transfer, I think I hate the roller coaster the most!

    LMM - that must be annoying not being able to get in contact with FS, hope you can get your instructions soon so you can get started.

    AFM - am trying to keep my fluids up to avoid OHSS again. Does anyone know how many/few eggs are linked to OHSS?

    Hi to everyone and hope your cycles are going well!

    H everyone - hope your weekends are going well so far!

    My levels have finally gone back to 0 so hopefully I'll be able to get going again soon, although I'm thinking it might be less stressful to give it a miss over Christmas/New Years and start again in Feb. Guess I'll see how impatient I get in the meantime!

    Aimee -good luck for Wednesday!

    jayejaye - hope your appointment goes well and you can get started (and finish!) soon

    Kaybee - I've got fx that on Tuesday you'll have 4 strong and healthy blasties. Hope you're going ok

    lmm - hope you were able to get through to someone yesterday - how frustrating!

    oneday - hope your scan went well today

    Saffy - hope you enjoy your time off, sounds like you have a good boss

    Hi Nicole, ehm, loops, yogi, and anyone I've missed!

    Hello Ladies,

    Firstly - thank you for putting up with me being so negsy yesterday. I was in a lot of pain and after hearing that more than half of my eggs had died, I thought it was all for nothing. So, thank you for your hugs and your patience. People who don't know what it's like wouldn't have put up with me.

    Kass- yay for the end of that chapter, finally. It's a hard decision now - when to go again. It would be nice to have a drink over Christmas and not worry about ivf.....BUT it would be nice to know you're on the way to being UTD again. Ah, the dilemmas!

    Aimee - how are you feeling? I don't know how many eggs are linked to OHSS, I think it is a bit more complicated than just a number - two people can have the same number of eggs but totally different oestrogen levels. Sorry!

    JJ - Hi and welcome back. Good on you for jumping straight in with a little bub at home - I wish I hadn't left it so long to TTC #2 but I thought I would be one of those miracle stories we hear about. All the best!

    LMM - have you had any luck contacting FS yet? There's always something there to make things that little more difficult isn't there. Anyway, yay for your Oing ovaries.

    My pains have started to ease a bit and am hoping everything settles down for transfer on Tuesday. The nurse said she thinks I had a bit of mild OHSS, but I reckon I'll have it under control with lots of water and rest. It has to be the weekend when I have lots of friends in town for weddings and things, so just when I want to lie around doing nothing everyone wants to try to meet up. I don't want to do anything but feel so rude if I don't explain. Anyway, have a lovely weekend ladies.

    Thanks again for your support

    Hi ladies,
    im glad your feeling better today Kaybee rest up for tues xx
    Kass good to hear, fingers crossed for your next cycle when you decide to go again xx
    Thanks Aimee how are you feeling?

    AFM- scan went well, EPU is on tues was hoping for mon but some of my follicles are still around the 14/15 mark so the nurse wants one more night of puregon. I had about 6 that are a really good size i asked her how many eggs does she think i will get and she said about 8 that should fertilise? or maybe more so not sure if that means they will prob only get 8 eggs in total or 8 after fertilisation as some havn't reached muturation yet, but tues will tell all so just have to stay patient till then I cant wait for tues and she put my mind at ease a bit with my pains she said there is no way AF should come and the pains would be from my ovaries being so big.

    hi everyone,

    We're having a great little break visiting family and I think the timing is good

    Kaybee: SO glad you are feeling better... and you don't have to apologise for venting or feeling negative... I think we all have our days love Better to get it out on here than self-implode! GL for Tuesday, will be thinking of you.

    Aimee: from the little I know about the process it sounds like you are on track... best of luck for Wednesday!

    Nicoleh: I hope AF comes quickly and you can move on to the next step soon

    JJ: hi and nice to meet you. Good on you for jumping in, and all goes well and FS will give you lots of good answers and direction.

    Kass: IKWYM... I would probably try to take a little step back at Xmas and try to enjoy without the worry. Whatever feels right at the time though! Hard when it's always at the back of your head

    Oneday: I really hope Tuesday comes fast for you babe, sometimes waiting is the worst bit of all.

    Saffy: hope you're doing well and relaxing lots!

    AFM: I managed to get on to the helpful chick at the other clinic who cornered FS in between clients for some answers I will be taking first shot of Pregnyl on Tuesday morning before we head home and again on Friday. REALLY hoping I don't have bad side effects as I will be stuck in the car all day driving and then working two long days. Looks like FF is going to mark O-day as Thursday gone, which is awesome timing will give us a good shot.

    big hugs and hi to all and to anyone I have missed, I had to take notes and work up to writing this reply

    xx

    HI ladies,

    LMM- glad you got onto the FS and worked out your regime, happy the timing was right!

    Oneday- 8 fertilized would be great I assume they expect to get more at the EPU- best of luck hun, I'm sure your lucky 1 or 2 will be in those 8 x

    Kaybee- its understandable to be disappointed, I would have been the same, onwards and upwards though and good luck for tuesday. Can't believe you have full social calender- that will be hard when you should be resting, hope it works out x

    Kass- hope you enjoy your xmas whether you try or not, glad your levels are down (IYKWIM), I felt better when mine dropped cos it doesn't drag on and means you can start afresh ( not that we should have to, but thats another story!)

    Aimee- not sure about OHSS, my ovaries need a bomb put under them to work so I haven't had the pleasure of overstimulating lol, hope the fluids keep it at bay x

    Hi nicoleh- how are you?

    jayejaye- welcome! Pelvic floor shouldn't be prob for conceiving but can be a hassle later in pregnancy, but depends how bad it is so talk to your dr. Hope you are utd with no.2 soon!

    Springlola- how did you go yesterday? Hope it was ok, pm me if you want xx

    Hi loops, ehm, anyone else I missed, have a great weekend x

    AFM- looking forward to going away Monday
