Hi everyone

How is your TTW going? Busy, bored, tired, excited, hopeful, hopeless, sore, happy, loooong?

minniemouse - hello again, you responded very sweetly to my first IVF attempt story a few months ago... I'm glad you have 2 moralists on board, we need more of them in this mad world. Wishing all the best for you, hopefully this cycle is the one!

tiggerlinda - hoping all is going well for you, and your two lovely embies as safely snuggled and growing well. Food cravings must be a good sign!

scooby - I was surprised with 24 eggs as well.They had seen 19 on the scan so a few more must have popped up! I was told at one point I have polycystic appearing ovaries, but not PCOS, maybe that has something to do with it. Strangely wasn't as bloated as last time before or after EPU, fine after a few days. I think the acupuncture helped with it all this cycle. Hows the cramping? More to the point, how are all your badly timed visitors going? You poor thing, I hope you get your time out... put your needs first!

mon - go the little blasty peanut, I'm sure it would have snuggled down by now and happily growing everyday! Congrats on getting another in the freezer too..

dellydoo - another blasty buddy I have 1 on board too... They have done so well to make it thus far so surely things are looking good!

JBM - hope your little girl is growing well I loved your story about asking the nurse if any of the embryos were pink!

pookigirlba - all the best with your BT next week. Yours is the day before mine! Hope you'll have good news for us

farmgirl - sometimes it seems easier to lose hope than to hold on. But don't give up yet! There are many stories of incorrect POAS results. Be gentle on yourself this weekend, try to treat yourself to something special. I hope your stick proves to be wrong...

BB73 - hope your BT next week adds another to the 09 Baby Boom!

This is my first IVF TWW although we've had plenty of natural ones. I told my hubby tonight I feel like my hope is like a caged bird. I'd like it to be confidently soaring but I keep finding myself thinking it probably hasn't worked And then I slap my own wrist and tell myself to be positive. I think its some kind of self protection mechanism, because the higher the hope, the harder the fall. But we must still hope!! Hope got us this far, and for so many women it has got them far enough to finally have their gorgeous baby in their arms.

Is anyone else on Clexane? I have to do daily morning injections as I have Factor V Leiden (Heterozygous), a mild blood clotting disorder. There is so much fluid to push in and it hurts a bit. Am also on the Crinone at night as well.

I haven't noticed any symptoms except a bit tired, and little twinges and very occasional lower belly crampiness. Oh and I've decided I hate my job, thats a really bad symptom! It must be those "feelings of unworthiness" they warn you of on the Crinone brochure!

Hope you are all doing well
