    BW does your clinic include the first years storage free as part of your cycle costs?

    Nope. The freezing fees cover the cost of having the embryos frozen and storing them for the first 6 months... I'm sitting here at work freaking out because there are people in the staff room that I don't want around when I make the phone call, it will be another 40 minutes before they go to class, and I'm just too stressed to do any other work at this point in time!

    Morning All,

    Kahlan and Hippy Mum- Welcome!! Isn't it great to finally join this thread..so exciting.

    BW- I'm sure your little frosties are waiting patiently for you for your next baby.

    Shannon- You are doing amazingly well. I LOVED your pics. Good to get some idea of how my tummy is going to get with the 2 blessings on board. You look fabulous though. Here's a silly quick question for you...are you going to put the babies in bassinets, separate cots or the same cot when they are newborns?? My mind is going 1000 miles an hour thinking of all the things I'm sure you thought of when you were told you were blessed with twins. I'm so thrilled though. Am I right that you are booked it for 37 weeks? Take good care of yourself xx

    Hi to everyone else..hope everyone has a great day.

    AFM- Got my BT results late yesterday. HCG was 9307 and progesterone 845. Am happy with that! No wonder my "not so little anymore" BB's are sore!!

    Hugs to all

    Hi Bel - 37 1/2 we are booked in for in 10 sleeps!!! We decided to put them straight in a cot and the plan is to sleep them together at night and seperately during the day but it all depends how things pan out, each book tells to something different however i found when i joined my local multiple births group most sleep them together.

    Well DH and I bought a new car yesterday, our current car is only 12 months old (just!) and about oh 20 weeks ago DH was in charge of measuring backseat to make sure with two car seats/capsules he would still fit (we have a mazda 3) and after much nagging and nagging he assured me definately fine no need to borrrow one and test it, he and his handy tape measure were positive all was good. So fast forward to last Friday i go and get the capsules fitted thinking yay this is the last thing now we are 100% ready... and stupid DH doesn't fit! So we we madly spend the next day shopping for a new car not fun when you are huge,sore and swollen and luckily we finalised everything yesterday and car will be ready early next week! And DH JUST survives to love another day.. needless to say i got to pick the colour!

    Shannon- Thanks for the info. I'll have to join a multiple births group too. Now I'm thinking about your car situation..we have a mazda 3 as well. DH and I both aren't very tall though but something we'll look into. Glad you got to pick the colour!!

    Hugs Bel

    Huge relief here!

    My two little embryos are fine! I got the impression that they wouldn't destroy them, but just wouldn't let us access them until storage fees were paid.

    The clinic has no idea why a statement wasn't generated and posted - it should have happened automatically (now I wonder if we have other mail going missing...) but we just never got one.

    Even better news... the next 6 months of storage is $125 and we had $175 in credit with them, so this next 6 months won't cost us a cent, and there's still some money left over for the third 6 month period.

    At least now I can stop stressing and get some work done... good thing as I've just wasted the vast majority of my release time!

    I'll come back after work (maybe - have AP and bible study this evening) and be less self-absorbed.

    Phew BW. Glad to hear the embryo's are waiting for you and their little stay at the clinic won't cost you anything for the next 6 months. Have a good day xxx

    Well, it's not costing us any more than what we've already given to the clinic anyway!

    How's the OHSS recovery going, Bel?

    Welcome Kahlan and HM - HM i definitely remember you (and even though i don't post much, have still been following your journey!). Kahlan, there's nothing "strong" about me continuing on after so much heartache - i'm a stubborn red head that just couldnt' give in! i wanted to save myself the pain so many times, but i just couldn't quit... dont' know if that's a good thing in most parts of life, but it's gotten us to this point, so i can't hate it!

    Shannon - soooooooo close now hun!

    sorry for no more personals - feeling very foggy at the moment - have to eat my brekkie and put some cup bets on for DH before i take myself back to bed....
