Angel Babies - I don't know anything about IVF, but for us the IUI has been a nice gentle introduction to the world of AC. Fairly non invasive (well I imagine it is compared to IVF) but gives you a little bit of an idea of what you might be in for with IVF. Our problems are with me - very irregular cycles and maybe not ovulating every month, so at least the tracking involved with the IUI means we can time BDing around the IUI, and we can also trigger to make sure that I do ovulate. Anyway, I hope the essay helps and good luck to you with IUI - I hope it does the trick for you and you don't have to do IVF again.

Alloy - Bummer about the incision getting infected and what a pain being 1 hr 45 mins from the hospital! I hope the abs get it sorted for you quickly, best not to muck around with post op infections, you don't want to end up back in hospy.

Lucky Strike - Hope the TWW is treating you kindly. Fingers crossed for a BFP at the end of it! I hope to be joining you soon

Fi - You lucky thing, 2 weeks in France! I would absolutely love to go back there, we have been there twice now and loved it both times. Anyway, I hope you have some luck with the natural cycles.

Hi to anyone else that I have missed, hope you are all doing well.

AFM, at my blood test yesterday I had an E2 of 560. So I went back today for more bloods thinking that hopefully it might be high enough today to justify another scan tomorrow. Well, the clinic rang a little while ago to let me know that my LH is surging today!! So no trigger shot for me this month, and we will be having IUI tomorrow morning. Fair dinkum, I think my body is just mental sometimes! I have just got no idea of what goes on with me anymore. But oh well, at least we have finally gotten there and I don't need to have anymore jabs in the arm LOL
