Hello Ladies,

I haven't posted for a few days but I have been lurking trying to keep up with everyone's progress:

Londonmiss and Airline congrats to both of you on the long awaited BFP!!! Wishing you both a happy and healthy 9 months ahead!

Londonmiss thanks for your insider tips on what you did differently this month to achieve your successful result. I noticed you didn't give up on your 4 glasses of wine a week! I don't mind a glass of wine here or there, but during my IVF cycle I didn't have a drop for 43 days straight! It was pretty hard at the beginning, and since AF has reared her ugly head I have made up for lost time ! The one thing I couldn't give up was my coffee. I did reduce from 2-3 cups of day to 1 cup and I did divulge in more chocolate. I really wonder if coffee and alcohol really impact getting pg?

Coral ~ Sorry to hear that your beta levels are not where you would like them to be . FX your beta levels increase by Monday! Try not too stress too much over the weekend.

Meg76 ~ sorry to hear about your BFN. I am also in the same position as you. Looks like we will not be able to do another stim cycle until Jan 2010. If my next period arrives by the 25th Nov then they will be able to fit another stim cycle. This is highly unlikely as my period is 28 days and given it arrived on the 2nd of Nov the earliest it will arrive is the 29th of Nov. So we have decided to use this time to take a break and give natural conception a go We can start fresh in 2010 and hope that this is our year!

electra and tubabe ~ welcome to the TWW !

Paula ~ sorry to hear about your BFN I trully admire your strength and determination after so many attempts. GL with your stim cycle and really that its lucky number 9 for you!

Leabie ~ sorry to hear that this wasn't your month Sounds like you have put the last cycle behind you and now focusing on your IUI cycle. this is the one!

hello and GL to everyone else I might have missed!

AFM ~ As I mentioned earlier the FS wanted me to have a month break after I start the next stim cycle, so with Christmas looming we will need to wait for Jan next year. I was a little disappointed as we have developed a bit of momentum from the first IVF cycle and we just wanted to keep going! Probably a good thing in hindsight as I can relax during the next two months and be ready to tackle another stim cycle in the new year.
I will pop my head in from time to time to see how everyone is progressing in the TWW. Take care.

Mel
