    Hi ladies. I have been away for a couple of nights for NYE. Hope everyone had a good one.

    BW- Welcome back. What ever you decide to do with the Provera you know we are here and you can come in and rant about it if you are feeling down as we are all ready to listen.

    Deb- Thanks for your hugs. Sorry that it was a BFN this time but I am sure your BFP is just around the corner. Good luck with this cycle of clomid.

    Hi to all the other lovlies, I hope you are all well.

    As for me I don't think I have O yet which is a bit strange so I am having a blood test tomorrow to see what is happening in there. Now I have had time to think about everything I am feeling really comfortable with taking this break. I am going to put 2006 behind me and start a fresh with 2007. I am going to use this time to look after myself a little better, I need to lose a little bit of weight that I have put on in the last 18 months and get my body in the best possible position to start our IVF journey. So I am feeling good. Anyway now I am rambling.

    Here is to a positive year for all of us xoxoxo

    My procrastination has solved the question of the provera for me - I've left it too late! I'd just finish taking it when we go for the appointment... It felt like ages away, but now that we have hit the 1st, it's only 10 more days to go... wow!

    Happy New Year Everyone!

    Like everyone, haven't been able to get to the computer much over the hols!

    Willow-good luck with your first IVF cycle-keep us updated!

    BW-interesting what your accupuncturist said about Clomid. I've been seeing an accupuncturist too, and she thinks similar about clomid and low oestrogen! Prior to clomid, I had 2 good D21 progesterone cycles (with accupuncture just before and at expected O time). Last cycle, first clomid cycle, I only saw her a week before O. My oestrogen levels were measured as part of the clomid monitoring, D10 and D13. They were low, despite seeing a follie on USS (oestrogen should be 1000/follie). My D21 prog then came back really low suggesting didn't pop that egg!! Figure she may be right!! How often do you see her? I find it really calming and relaxing, even with needles sticking in me!

    Kt-glad oestrogen levels are back to normal-hope you are feeling ok

    Deb-enjoy your hols!! Jelous+++

    Smudge-how did the USS go? Hope you're ok

    BG-not toooo long til u see FS! We're counting down to 30th when we see ours.

    As for me, CD12 today. Had few cramps past 2days. Not sure what's happening-have had completely neg OPK's (As in no second line at all) then yesterday midday had really strong urine (sorry TMI!!) and a dark second line, so thought here we go-I usually get a fade in for a day, then it becomes dark, then fades out, IYKWM!! But, disappeared by mid afternoon, then same again at 6pm!! weird. No EWCM at all-ahd some last month on 50 clomid, but wonder if the 100 has dried things out! Taking EPO, Robitussin and using preseed!!! Swimmers may need a snorkel at this rate!
    Have USS later today, and just had oestrogen level done-soooo just have to wait and see. I really dread being scanned-get soooo nervous, then usually something not right, like lining too thin, egg to small..or not there at all!! It really is a rollercoaster ride!! Seeing accupuncturist too today.

    Here's hoping for BFP's for all of us in 2007

    Milly, I usually see the acupuncturist weekly but the clinic is closed until next week - I miss it! You are so right about it being relaxing! I think it may have something to do with being forced to just lay still for an hour and just STOP! I figure if I can cope with the acupuncture needles, I can cope with FSH injections if I have to have them... maybe... still kinda scared!

    My FS appointment is a week tomorrow! It's going so damn quickly now it's not funny! But apart from that, I'm just plodding along - day 85 now! Trying not to feel like too much of a freak, and getting really frustrated that my super-low temps aren't likely to be any indication of AF arriving any time soon!
