Hi there

Meredith My next blood test is 16th of March which happens to be my birthday by the way!!. It is my suppression scan to make sure all systems are down and I can start stimmulating. It's all pretty harmless at this stage. The worst that can happen is hot sweats and sleepless nights.

I've decided to take up pilates to help with relaxation. I can't go to reflexology for a little while do I thought it would help. Well it takes your mind off everything alright because you have to be as supple as a nine year old. I've never been i such positions outside of the bedroom

Anyway, my head is staying kind of clear this time. My last cycle was a frozen attempt. Straight after the embryo transfer I was convinced it had worked. I mean, I picked out names, baby clothes, maternity clothes, baby room furniture and car seats!!! So I'm trying to keep a perspective on it all whilst staying positive. One of the last statistics I heard was that 95% of couples conceive within 3 attempts of IVF. So this is my third attempt!!

Jane I know all about the TWW and how stressful it can be, thinking every twingge must be implentation and then the very next second knowing it is AF on the way. What can I say? I suppose we all have to go through it, and ho[e that one day it will be implantation pains after all. when do you go down the IVF road?

Where have all the other ladies gone. Did that big crash get rid of people or have we just lost all the pregnant ones do you think?
