    [FONT="Tahoma"]DEar bb 73,
    I hope your blood test goes fantastically. Do not read the post on blood tests and needles before you go. Wait till you get home. Ultimately just relax , and get yourself into that deep meditative zone. Make yourself have that relaxation that we all crave. Thats how i got through it and i never even felt a thing . The nurses were like you are amazing...Let us know how you get on and when your ultrasound is!What day of stims are you up to?My body was a little lazy getting the follie growing but then i surged by myself and didnt need the ovidrel. I really hope things are going great.[/

    Hi polly, thanks for the advice. I am really good with needles and blood tests. The nurses usually have a battle to find a vein and I have to use a hotpack on my arm for about 20mins before they even attempt to find the vein. But I have a fantastic nurse who has no problems at all. I am currently on day 4 of the puregon shots and from memory the nurse said she expects my first ultrasound to be this coming saturday. But you just never know with these things. Will let you know how i go with the bloods tomorrow.

    Well, first blood test down. Had the call from the clinic, all going fantastically. I am going back for my second bloods and first ultrasound at 7.30am tomorrow morning. This may progress quicker than I thought! Hope you are all well, and resting up!

    Hey Belinda, nice to hear that your blood test went well. Good luck for tomorrow and let us know how you get on.
    I can't believe how fast an IUI cycle goes, it's been 4 days since IUI and I only started this cycle on the 25th Feb... time fly's when your having fun hey??
    Hope all is going well with everyone else....

    Have a question for you ladies, since having the IUI 4 days ago I have very sore BB. Other than that yesterday and today have some slight cramping...I don't want to look too much into these signs as they could be from the injections,,, has anyone else noticed anything post IUI??

    Hi Ladies,
    Had second bloods and US this am. Little bit disappointed with there only being 1 nice follicle, but I guess I should be thankful that I have one, and you only need one right?! Clinic just called, and it's all systems go for tomorrow at 11am.
    Nicole, I was only thinking to myself this morning how quick the cycle is. I only started the injections on 1st March, exactly one week before the IUI itself. we all have success with our first attempt. Which state are you in? I'm NSW

    Belinda, as they say one is better than none... like you said yourself you only need one...
    I'm also in NSW, and going to the Westmead Clinic.
    Good luck for tomorrow, it's not painful at all just stay calm and relaxed and it will be over so quickly.. promise that there is nothing to
