Dearest Diamond!!!

Take those jeans back to the shop. I'm convinced you won't be able to wear them in a very short while. 102!!!!! I am totally excited for you!!!

Are they going to do a BT again in two days? If it's around 204 you are looking VERY good. You want it to double every day after that.

AFM: The clinic has written this cycle off. I have too. The symptoms I was feeling have turned out to be a virus that's been going round my office. It's clear I really need the FSH if I have any hope of getting across the line.

WLB - where are you based? Are you the country girl on here? I'm floored your clinic DOESN't do Day 21 bloods. How can they monitor what's going on without those results? At my clinic, a low Day 21 BT result is usually cause for a pregnyl shot, unless you're already on pregnyl for luteal support. Unless you're Diamond and you got a rockin' Prog result by yourself!!!

And no, I'm not a nurse - I am well studied and LTTTC. Our bookshelves are covered with books on fertility. Plus we ride the process every step of the way. My husband saw a new GP this week (can you believe our GP disappeared?) and he said he'd also been thru IVF and supported the Drive Your Own Treatment approach. He said if you don't, you just get processed.

Remember tho - don't use the information to beat yourself up. Use it to empower yourself.

Diamond, I think you just became the poster girl for Fertility supporting Accupuncture!
