    Hi ladies,

    Fi - Congratulations, that is great news

    Amy - That is so good about the cancellation and bringing your IVF forward. Good luck with it all.

    Kaydee - Sorry about the spotting I hope AF has shown up for you by now.

    LS - I know I already said it in the TWW thread, but I'm sorry about your BFN and good luck with the IVF.

    AFM - BFN this cycle too, got the BT result yesterday. After the prog result though I am not surprised and not really bummed out ATM - I got that out of my system last weekend after the prog result! Oh well...

    We are off to the FS next Tues with the aim of convincing him to let me go to FSH injections. I've decided that I want to give them a go before moving to IVF, I really think it's a bit premature to go to IVF after 2 failed Clomid/IUI cycles. I would like to give the FSH/IUI a go for maybe 2 or 3 cycles I think, but I'll see what he has to say about it. He doesn't like doing FSH for OI because of the risk of multiples, so I have to convince him that DH and I will obey if they cancel a cycle I might be the only one in here next month!

    Have a nice weekend everyone

    HI all,

    Fi, Congrats hunny, that's awesome news. All the best for a healthy and happy pregnancy

    Luckystrike, I'm sorry to read about your bfn, I hope your feeling a little more positive today.

    Megsmum, I hope the FSH works out for you!!!

    Kaydee, good luck with the IVF, hopefully it will only take one shot for all of us, and we can celebrate our bfp's together!!!

    AmyM, I'll be starting IVF late August/September too, so we'll be able to share notes and experiences

    First things first, I have to ask, what does AFM mean?

    We had our FS appointment today, just went through the results of the Lap, and then discussed moving onto IVF. We went through all the risks and everything, all of which I was already aware of from my research into the subject. We've got our information session, and counselling set for the 6th of August. We'll be doing a down reg cycle, so I'll start with the nose spray at the end of my next cycle. The blood tests will start on day 2 of my next cycle, which isn't too long away now (I'm CD18 today) so I'm glad we won't have to wait too much longer. Not looking forward to the anaesthetic for the egg retrieval, but I'll just have to put up with it I guess!

    to anyone I've missed

    Hi Everyone,

    Alloy - sounds like a few of us will be moving to IVF next cycle. I started the pill today so my egg retrieval should be around early sept, i think. Anyway i'll have to join one of the other threads soon to speak to others who are going thru it.

    Megsmum - I'm so sorry things didnt work out this month. Good luck with the FS, regardless of his views on things, he needs to do what is right for the situation, so I think you'll be ok. And if he is not willing to try other things then, maybe you need to consider going to someone else. I know its a hasstle but if you arent happy then you might need to think about it.

    Fifi - Congratulations on the beautiful news. Its nice to see some happy endings. Hopefully th rest of us will have some luck next cycle.

    Amy thats great news they could move you up. I remember how frustrating it was waiting for all my appointments. Sounds like you wont be too far off me with the IVF aswell as a few others, so we should be able to compare notes!

    Kaydee how are you going?

    To everyone else continuing with IUI good luck! Hopefully you wont need to go down the IVF rd as a few of us have just begun, and hopefully we all get to chat in one the pregnancy forums soon!

    Hi everyone,

    Fi, a big congratulations to you! Best wishes for a wonderful pregnancy.

    Megsmum, good luck tomorrow... be strong - hope you're FS is understanding and is flexible in his approach.

    Amy, great news your fs had an earlier appt free.. much better than waiting around. Looks like there's quiet a few of us moving onto ivf.

    Luckystrike, looks like we'll be cycle buddies. I've started on the pill now too. Have an appt with nurses mid august to pick up spray and meds.

    Alloy, my fingers are crossed it only takes one go... great news that you're able to keep things moving. You'll be into it all before you know it!

    Best wishes to everyone else still continuing with iui. Hope your journey ends with the +ve result we're all hoping for... To all the girls starting ivf, I look forward to chatting with you in the other threads.

    Thanks for the well wishes Alloy and Kaydee, but we're on for another cycle of Clomid and IUI this month after the FS appt. I'm not totally happy with it (probably a bit of an understatement ) as the FS was quite receptive to the idea of FSH injections, it was just that DH is not prepared to proceed with a cycle if there is more than one follie. Too bad the FS is pretty sure that there would be more than one with FSH

    So the FS has suggested one more IUI then onto IVF, which DH also has a problem with I won't go into it because it is a bit personal, but hopefully we can come to a compromise and go ahead with IVF next month. We're going to go back to see the FS in a couple of weeks to talk about it further and hopefully get the ball rolling, I don't want to muck around waiting as I am not getting any younger. I really don't expect to have any success this month at all, so I expect it won't be too long before I'm joining you all doing IVF. Good luck to everyone!
