Hi everyone!! Just wanted to say a quick HI :smt039 and I hope everyone is well. Good luck Keen, I really hope this is it for you! I start sniffing tomorrow - how eggs-citing!!!

Hi girls

Just popped in quickly to say that my scan went well today. I have 11 follies on right side and 5 or 6 on left side. Dr was very happy with that as at least 10 of them are of good size and he says the others may catch up....YAY!!!

Tonight I need to have an antagonist (yes, another injection) to prevent ovulation and will continue them until trigger on Sat. Also to continue the gonal F 300iu. Pick up will be on Monday!!!!!

The antagonist was $80 each and I needed 3 of them (glad I didn't need a dozen!!)

Hope everyone is well and I'll BBL to do some personals

Love

Ali xxxxxxxxxxx

\:D/ \:D/ WOO HOO!! No more Bloods tomorrow

Everything is all set to go. My stomach is in total knots I am so excited.

1 Snow Bub to be thawed on Friday Morning and Lab will phone me late Fri Afternoon to say if all is well for Saturday Transfer =D> [-o<

Then the wait for Testing on Oct 14th


Please update me to

October (Just) Transfer

Important Dates - 1st October 1 Natural Fet Transfer and then Testing on 14th

Lookin' good Ali. Hoping those follies continue to thrive. Good luck for Monday.
Hi Chele. It's nice to finally have a nothing day. :crossfingers: for a successful thaw and easy transfer.
Hope everyone is well and rolling along.
Love
Sue

Hi Angel
Can you please take me off the Oct OPU/etc/etc list? October 2006 maybe..... :)
Ta
Sue

Good morning ladies i hope you are all doing well!

Ali- Good luck for Monday i hope those follies are nice and big by then!

Suzie- Why no OPU next month?

Chele- Good luck with the thaw on Friday and lots of :bluestick: :pinkstick: for the transfer on Saturday.

Bee- Good luck with the sniffing

Keen- Hope you are resting up so those embies stick!!! I have a feeling this is your month!

As for me I feel now like I have failed again this month not one symptom and I think I was overreacting with all the other signs.


Take Care Ladies

racheal

Good luck Chele .. think you will be onto a winner here. You sound very positive and i am a big believer in that... You remain positive and you get a +++++ outcome!!!

Good luck to all the other ladies out there to who are ETing or FETing or IUIing in the next few weeks.. (myself included LOL)

love leis x
ps start puregon 125 units tomorrow. going to inject this one into my leg.. as i am still injecting lucrin into my stomach!!!

How long does a 10000iu pregnyl shot take to leave the system? Info I have says about 12 days. Today I am 9DPO (10dpIUI, 11 days past trigger) and did a test middle of the day to see if it was still in my system and its negative. Is it because its not FMU? I expected it to still be positive at this stage, and was waiting for it to disappear so I'd know Mondays POAS would be reliable, now I am confused!

Racheal - hang in there honey, it's not over yet. Take it one day at a time and every day without the witch has to be a good day doesn't it?

Leis - injecting into the leg sounds painful! I found it easy to find lots of different spots on my belly to stab with both jabs. I guess it depends on how big your belly is LOL. Mine is growing by the year!

Chele - I'm sending all the thawing vibes I can muster your way. You go girl - you're in the home stretch now!

Keen - I have a really good feeling about you this month.

Trish - are you as bored with waiting as I am? I'm so jealous of everyone (except those in the yukky TWW - that sux)

Thought I'd just pop in to say hi to everyone, & hope all is going well.
Been very tired lately & massive headaches, not sure if it's from the increased Progynova or the last couple of weeks catching up on me. Hoping a couple of early nights & good sleeps will fix it!

Please update my important dates to 4/10 BT & scan

Take care all

Bored is an understatement Humphrey

I want pain and suffering so I can feel like something is happening - b*gger it is still a 2 ww ](*,) to start sniffing (you injecting)

Tam, we're having a few problems with editing posts atm so I'll update your details as soon as I'm able.

Trish, you could start this up in the introduce yourself forum thread... adding more questions to the current list. I'm sure we'd all love to get to know you girls a bit better!

Hi Angel

It is a bit of a slow game I was thinking of - we are trying to keep ourselves busy slowly to make the time go quicker.

I find them very interesting reading though I must admit ....

favourite things ....

5 things you didn't know ...

I did some of them ages ago -LOL can't remember what I wrote.

Okay - I'll play with you Trish.

How did you met your DH/DP - On a Contiki tour would you believe!!! :chairfall: .10 years ago and we hated each other at first sight. I thought his best friend was alright though :D

I've got another time waster for you Trish - guess my name - it starts with a J.

Julie

My Dh :-k
I met my DH on

a .....................





radio matching program. He was on it and I heard him by sheer destiny - travelling home as a nurse at 11.30pm one night about 17 years ago (2 days ago). Heard an ad I hated on another station and switched over to talk radio. There was this guy who sounded like a dream and he was. Took me a few days to stay awake long enough to get the radio address.

I wrote in and they forwarded my letter on. He rang me a few days later and we went on blind date on 15th October.
We saw each again and then nothing for few weeks.On 15th November he asked me how many shoes I had ? (as if my name was Imelda) over a reheated chinese romantic dinner (his mum was out) and then did I want to go out with him. He proposed to me on my :blowcandle: (8 months later) and we married 7 months later in FEB 1990. 15 yrs of :hbeat:
He is the :heartbeat: of my life.

Thats a cool story Trish!!

I met my DH at university when I was 18, we lived together from the very first day we met and got engaged 2 years later, married in 2000 - ours 5th anniversary is next Friday night!

Humphrey, I guess Jenn!

Hey - Humphrey where is your mum from ?

Did I mention Humphrey is my mum's maiden name - truly
I always got a giggle out of calling my Nana - Nana Humphrey
Humphrey was pretty big in those days ....

Why did you chose Humphrey for your alias ? HUH - spill the Tim Tams ... (who eats beans ...)

Ali - $80 bucks I just saw your antagonist cost - geez - they know how to hit you were it hurts twice in one go - X three

I hope this cycle is the one for you [-o<
Not long now till OPU ...

Thankyou to all you wonderful ladies for your :bdust: and :pinkstick: that have been sent my way. You have to be positive or where would we be so here's for Oct 14th Being the next best day in my life when I can get a :bfp: and have a baby in my arms next July.


:D Wow Trish that is so Cool. I met Dh on a blind date too my very first and last boyfriend. We were set up by my Auntie who is also DH's best mate's Auntie through marriage and she thought her nephew's mate needed a girlfriend and that I was just what was needed. We dated for 10 years before he proposed 2 days b4 the 10 yrs were up and married 14 mths later which was 2 1/2 yrs ago.

Nope, not Julie.

That's a sweet story. I'm a great believer in fate.

With my DH we didn't get along during the tour but met up again in Austria to go skiing. We actually spoke to each other for the first time and realised our first impressions had been slightly off (he thought I was a snobby ***** and I thought he was a sleazebag). Anyway 20 schnapps later and a new years eve snog and it was love. He even moved state to be with me when we got back to Oz (I wasn't moving to SA - no offence to anyone who lives there).

My DS looks exactly like him and absolutely gorgeous.

Jane?

Wat's wrong with SA?? :)

Not Jane or Jenn.

Nothing Chele - I'm just a Sydney chick thru and thru. Plus I can't stand his family!

Yeah I guess family will do it so the further away the better he he.

Jessica?

Jacqueline (LOL)

My Dh was my first real boyfriend too :D well the only one that mattered and my first snog ( a very english word)
and he lived only .5hr away.

Yes it was fate - we even heard about adoption info night on radio and went on to adopt DS.

Hey Humphrey - you didn't answer where Humphrey came from ...

Jessica and Jacqueline no & no

I really don't know where I got Humphrey from. Stupid name I know but I have fond memories of watching Humphrey B Bear when I was a kid - he was much cooler than Fat Cat. I've been watching ALOT of kids shows lately and am so over Wiggles and Hi-5.

I've never liked my name and always use something obscure for my nicknames.

Come on - keep guessing .....

Hi everyone
Hope you're all doing well.
Rach, I've PM'd you why I'm not cycling in October. It's a long story - won't bore everyone in here with it again. Basically, I've got buckleys of being a mum now. I posted a vent in that forum.
Love
Sue

June???

Give us a hint how many letters humphrey. I think Humphrey is cool and used to love him heaps but then I used to go to bed with fat cat at 7:30 I reckon they should bring something like that back. Kids today that I know go to bed whever they feel like it. I was 7:30 until I went to high school I think then it was 8:30 and gradually increased. :)

I met my DH on my 18th bday - he was a barman and gave me free drinks all night. That was 11 years and he is still a fab spunk!

Jodie?

No and no.

No clues either, I've got plenty of time.....

Jacinta


Jill


Josephine

Jezebel

Joanne


Joyce

Lol at Jezabel :smt082

but no

I just want you to say "missed it by that much" when we are close Humphrey (LOL - Max)

Jumping Josephine



=D>


Jackie

Jacquie

Joyce

Judith

did I mean I am a dog with a bone or rather a lady with my dog's lamb bone < eating all his meat off the roast lamb shank =P~ >

Jeanette or Janet -

lets get the rules straight = 'you missed it by that much' if we are close and we don't need birth certificate spelling -

gee my lamb roast smells good ... Thanks Nola honey - I just used Rosemary & Garlic .... I can't wait

I am making up for lost posts while I was MIA tonight

where is everyone ?

Is it Joanne

or

Jemma?


The suspense is killing me!!!!!!

Hi Trish - Thanks, I too hope it's my turn for BFP. I had my first shot of Orgalutron last night and blimey it hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - DH did it for me and jabbed it in and then stopped as it wouldn't go in properly, he then stuck me again a lot harder to get it through the skin. Not looking forward to another jab tonight at 8.

Love Ali xxxxxxxx
