Thank you Geranium
Gold for me Wooohoooooo
Heres hoping for a wonderful 2ww. I hope there will be some of you joining me, as I do so well until I hit the 2ww, then I crumble. I still think its the hardest part of all.
I think I will trigger tonight and epu will be Saturday

Hi Halby
I'll join you! I think I'm having my trigger tonight too, just waiting to hear from the clinic after my third scan and BT this week! My FS just wants to make sure all my eggs are as mature as possible after such a terrible cycle last time. At the moment it looks like I have about 6 - 8 follies which is my best result so far. Hopefully they're not just empty follicles!
Talk to you soon!

Sorry Squirrel, I've probably given you another thing to worry about (empty follies) after my disastrous pick up last Friday
halby
07/04/2011, 05:15 PM
Oh Indigo I am sorry to read that this happened to you. Its just another thing to worry about during all this.
Squirrel, are you triggering tonight? I am at 8pm and pick up sat morning so all things good to go. I am thinking I will get about 6 which I will be over the moon about. Apparently my fs was debating whether to let me stim a bit longer as there are a couple of small ones, but I am glad he hasn't as I think when they let you go too long they can over cook you a bit. Just trying to keep my positive thoughts up
Fingers crossed for both of us.

Indigo - don't worry hon your recent experience didn't worry me - I'm just super paranoid about every possible scenario! I think this time round I'll just be happy to make it to transfer!
How are you feeling? When's your BT?
Halby - I triggered tonight at 9pm for EPU on Saturday morning. I can't believe that our timing is exactly the same! It will be nice to have someone to share the 2WW with. Good luck on Saturday!

Hi guys - can I join in too...
I've just joined the Low Ovarian Reserve group too after lurking for a long time.
Halby and Squirrel - am joining you tomorrow in EPU - triggered last night at 7pm so am scheduled for pick up 6.30 on Saturday morning.
Not sure how many eggs we're going to get - had 8 follicles but some of those were late starters. At last scan we seemed to have 4 that were growing to a good size.
Good luck to both of you for tomorrow.

Hi everyone,
please add me to the list.
I was last in the Feb 2ww and fell pregnant at the start of that month, but unfortunately had an early miscarriage.
I ovulated on Tuesday 6th April and will have my Pregnyl injections for luteal phase support on Sat 9th and Wed 13th, then testing date will be around Tues 19th.
halby
08/04/2011, 03:11 PM
Keraru, I have to be at the clinic at 7am tomorrow, how bizar, 3 of us all an hour apart for trigger. Planning a big roast chicken dinner tonight as the fasting kills me, especially not having my morning coffee. Like you I had some slow starters so I am a little unsure too but am thinking the 6 egg mark.
Squirrel how are you today. Looking forward the little sleep we get tomorrow?
Indigo how are you going?
MM thank you for your well wishes this month. I am keeping fingers crossed for May for you.
Libbylu It looks like you will be the first to test in the group, hopefully you will be able to kick start us off to all the bfp we are going to get this month.
Eatser is the time for new life and fertility so you just never know.
Keraru
08/04/2011, 03:17 PM
Thanks guys for the welcome.
Just thought I'd add that my acupuncturist also keeps telling me that this is the year of the rabbit so between the east and the west - there have to be some great eggs and bunnies waiting for us.

Best of luck girls, I may well join your group later this month as I will be testing at the very start of May, so probably won't really make the May 2ww as majority will be April - would you be happy to have me?
Best of luck to everyone who has their epu tomorrow, I hope you get some good numbers and mature eggs.
Thinking of you guys xo

HI ladies, well its 7 for me so really happy. Will find out fert results tomorrow. Am a little sore as usual but DH and DD are taking good care of me which I must say I am enjoying.
Hope you other ladies had really successful epu's
myangelryan
09/04/2011, 07:11 PM
Hi girls
Can I join too? Am officially in 2WW. EPU was last Wednesday and was an absolute disaster

Only 3 eggs because they couldn't reach my other ovary - it was too high! This has never happened before and I am so devastated as there were 3 or 4 good follicles on there. The right ovary that they could get had about 6 decent size but 3 were empty! Never had that happen either
Anyway, 2 fertilised and one 8-cell grade 3 (grade 5 the best) transferred today on Day 3. The other was only 6-cell today so they're going to grow it on to blast (if it makes it) before transferring.
Have been sore and crampy since EPU. Hoping and

this works as its our last shot. We can't afford to do this again

BT is 20th
Hi
Libbylu 
I remember you from Feb 2WW. My FET didn't go ahead that cycle because embryo didn't survive the thaw.
Good luck girls with EPU today and waiting for fert results tomorrow. Congrats
Halby on 7 - that's a great number (very jealous).

09/04/2011, 09:45 PM
Hi girls
Welcome to everyone - it will be so nice to be in the dreaded 2ww together!
Myngelryan - sorry about your EPU, that must have been very disappointing for you! Congrats on being PUPO!
Halby - great haul today! You and I are in the same boat awaiting the fertilisation call...
Mrs*n*p - welcome to you too and good luck for your upcoming cycle.
Keraru - are you feeling better after your EPU this morning?
AFM - we got 6 eggs this morning which was our best result so far but I have no idea whether they were mature and whether they were able to fertilise them. Eek! Tomorrow morning can't come soon enough!
halby
10/04/2011, 01:14 PM
Myangelryan, I am sorry that this happened I must say I would be asking them when the time is right as to why they had trouble getting to your ovary, I dont quite get that. I have everything crossed for you that your beautiful 8 cell embryo which is perfect for day 3 is very sticky.
Squirrel good numbers for you. I hate waiting for fert results. we dont do icsi so I wont know until after 2pm for my results
Mrs'n'p getting ready to start or have you started your cycle already. Fingers crossed for you too.
Keraru I like what your accupunctureist said and feel really good about this month. How did your epu go?
Libbylu how are you feeling? Will you POAS? I am going to try so hard not to this time, maybe Good Friday as my bloods are on the easter sat and then we are going away to friends so when I get the official result I will be at someone elses house so I like to be emotionally prepared.
Hello to everyone else joining us this month.
Keraru
10/04/2011, 01:59 PM
Squirell and
Halby -

great egg numbers guys - they are just awesome. And amazing fertilisation too Squirell - wow to think that you might be able to come out with some frosties!! Hope you get good results today too Halby.
myangelryan - sorry to hear that they couldn't reach your other ovary but great to hear that you were able to get one embie on board. Here's hoping that one will be a sticky one.
Mrs'n'p - welcome and good luck with everything.
Libbylu - I hope your TWW goes quickly and you have a lovely result at the end.
AFM - well we had one good egg fertilise over night and they were watching the other one to see what it did but just phone to say that its not really doing much. They are going to keep watching it and will let us know how its looking on day 3. So its will be a Tuesday (day 3) transfer for us. I keep thinking the next stage will get easier but it doesn't seem to really. You just seem to exchange one uncertainty for another.
Have a great Sunday everyone...

Squirrel - awesome eggy and fertilisation numbers!! Woohooo!
Halby - 7 is a fantastic number too...will be

for your fertilisation results...I have everything crossed for you.
Keraru - as GG has recently shown us, that tired old cliche of 'you only need one' can come true. And I'm

it does come true for us both this cycle.
Libbylu - hope you're going well too!
Myangelryan - so sorry to hear you had some disappointing results from pick up. How frustrating that they couldn't get to one of your ovaries. Squirrel had a transabdominal collection the cycle before this one...I still wince just thinking about that! Might be something worth mentioning to them for next time? (hopefully you won't need a next time tho!) I had some empty follicles too, so I can sympathise. I had at least 7 good follicles going in and 6 ended up being completely empty. A kick in the guts, but I'm hoping the one little egg they found will stick around for the long haul.
Mrs*n*p - good luck with your current cycle!
halby
10/04/2011, 04:33 PM
Hey all, Kenaru I am keeping everything crossed for you that those 2 keep going strong.
Hello to everyone else.
Fert results are in and initially 7 for 7 but they apparently do a 24 hour check on them and one went funny/ backwards, they did use a specific term but dont remember, but I am thrilled that we have 6 there. So now to wait another 24 hours to see the progress. If they are looking nice then we will continue to move forward to a blast transfer, we are just considering whether we do assisted hatching due to my age which would mean a day 3 but I think I am still leaning to a blast, I will chat with fs in a day and see what he thinks.
Hope everyone has had a great weekend
myangelryan
10/04/2011, 07:19 PM
Hi all
Halby that's awesome fert results!

There's bound to be something to transfer from that lot.
Squirrel - didn't see your fert results but everyone's saying they're good so congrats to you too!
So there are a few of us with only 1 or 2 embies this round? It only takes one right? I'm going to ring in to the clinic tomorrow (day 5) and see how my other little one is going.. I'd really love a "spare" in the freezer but don't hold out a great hope (never have much success growing on to blast)
Squirrel - a transabdominal EPU? Ouch! How does that work?? Apparently my left ovary is now suddenly high and unreachable - can that even happen??? They're not free floating so how do they suddenly change position?? The FS went in through my uterus to try and get it (ouch) but still couldn't reach with confidence.
Anyway, now one day past transfer and counting..... Not sure if I'll POAS or not. Will wait until closer to the time and decide..
Good luck everyone with ETs in the next few days.
squirrel10
10/04/2011, 08:24 PM
Halby - great result! 6 out of 7 is excellent! I wish my clinic would call me tomorrow to give me a progress update but their policy is only to look at them on day 3 and then day 5. Apparently the less they remove them from their environment the better. This the furthest we've ever gotten and at this stage I don't even know if any will make it to day 3 let alone day 5. Argh! This wait is going to drive me crazy!
Indigo - thanks for your well wishes hon. How are you feeling?
Myangelryan - sorry about that, I posted my results in the LOR buddy group and forgot to put them here. 5 out of the 6 fertilised overnight so we're very happy with that! Indigo is right, last EPU I had to have my follicles extracted abdominally because my FS couldn't reach my left ovary properly. Apparently my bowel is in the way and the ovary is actually closer to my stomach than it is to my uterus. This only becomes an issue when my ovary has follicles in it so must be something to do with its size and it trying to find space. Maybe this is what happens to you? This time around I opted for a general because there was no way I wanted to go through another abdominal extraction just with sedation but she didn't need to do it this time. I have a feeling she was probably quite rigorous in her poking around though because I was quite sore yesterday. The way they do it is pretty similar to the standard pick up. They use a local anaesthetic near the site and then they go in with the probe/needle thing and the ultrasound guides the way.
Good luck with your 2ww.
Keraru - I'm sorry your other embie didn't make it but I'm sure that the one that's left is a real fighter!
myangelryan
12/04/2011, 07:34 AM
Hi girls
Just had a call from my clinic. My remaining embryo made it to blast but not good enough quality to freeze

So, this little guy is our last and only hope (no pressure or anything...).
How is everyone doing?
Halby, are you having ET today? Hope you've got a lovely little embryo to transfer and it all goes well.
Can't believe I've still got over a week of the 2WW to go! Its killing me already...
take care everyone

12/04/2011, 08:04 AM
myangelryan, fingers crossed that this is the one for you. I sometimes wonder if the universe thinks we all have an endless moneytrain.
Hi to everyone else how are we coping in this painful waiting game?
afm, well not sure whether we transfer today or thursday. Had a good chat to embryologist yesterday and we have a mixed bag of embryos at the moment. All divided which is great, adn we have 2 at 4 cells graded 1 &2 which are beautiful, then we have another 2 at 4 cell graded 3 due to fragmentation, and a 5 cell and 2 cell graded 3 due to fragmentation. I know I have 2 beaut ones there but my concern was my disaster cycle in 2009 I had my embryos looking average on that day with fragmentation and dont want to run the risk of not having anything to transfer on day 5. So I will await the call this morning to determine how they are this morning. Based on there view, I met the criteria to continue to blast especially with the 2 really nice ones, and fragmentation in the others can go, but she admited that it sometimes that they just dont like the environment they are in and do better in a natural environment. I do still believe that this is sometimes the case, as we see so many day 3 transfers with girls being told it is an average embryo, yet they become a baby. Anyway I am really happy with this decision and so happy with the embryologist taking the time to go over my cycles and talk with me. When it happened in 2009 we never contemplated a 3 days transfer because I always got a few to blast, but not worth the risk on this occasion, although I would prefer it, I will know by about 8.30am this morning.
Oh keep growing beautifully little ones......
myangelryan
12/04/2011, 12:02 PM
oh, your embryos are doing really well
Halby.
I understand the fear of waiting to Day 5 though - I'm not convinced its the best option (for me). I have had 2 previous Day 3 transfers (one fresh and one frozen and 2 pregnancies as a result). Never have my embryos been good enough quality blasts to freeze. I don't know though whether its just because the best embryos were replaced on Day 3 (and would have been perfect blasts if left that long) and the lower quality ones left to grow to blast (and never would have resulted in a pregnancy if replaced at Day 3 anyway).

Its that old debate that noone really knows the answer to - and can't know the answer to. So, what did you do? Did you have a transfer today or are you waiting till Wednesday?
squirrel10
12/04/2011, 01:49 PM
Hi girls
Halby you and I playing this same waiting game! The embryologist called me this morning to tell me that all 5 of eggs are still going. 2 are starting to become compacting morulas, 2 are 8 cell and the other one is 6 cell. So it looks like I'll be waiting now until Thurs (Day 5) as at my clinic they don't look at them again on Day 4. Argh!
How is everyone else going?
Indigo - what date is your BT?
Myangelryan - are you able to distract yourself at all? I haven't even got to the 2ww yet and the waiting is already killing me!
Keraru - did you have your transfer this morning? If so, congrats on being PUPO!

Hi everyone!
Just been trying to catch up on all the goings on of the last few days.
However, I need to know what does PUPO and AFM mean? I get so confused sometimes with the acronymns!
I sincerely hope that your 2ww's go really well.
I go for my first bt and ultrasound this cycle to see how things are coming along and to determine the day for egg pick up. I am quite nervous this time and anxious as I just want it all to be happening and know where we stand. Normal feelings I know! Grrr.
If things pan out the same as last cycle (in terms of days etc) this Sunday will be EPU and Good Friday with ET. We are doing ICSI this time as well.

Squirrel - wow, how fantastic that you are going through to Day 5! I've never done that, just Day3, Day2, Day3 & Day3. My BT is on the 18th...*ages* away yet
Myangelryan - sorry to hear the 2nd embryo wasn't frozen. I haven't ever had a frostie, either...it sucks, doesn't it? Here's hoping that the transferred little 'un is doing great.
Mrs*n*p - how's did your scan go? Hope everything is ticking along nicely.
Keraru,
Libbylu - how're you going?
Hi to any other 2WW'ers out there!
AFM - today is 11dpo and getting to the pointy end of the dreaded 2ww. This is when I find it gets tough. The urge to break out the pee sticks is huge. Must...control...myself...
halby
12/04/2011, 06:35 PM
Indigo dont do the pee stick, but I know the feeling I am already calculating in my head when I may do it. Shocking I know.
Mrsn'p a good friday transfer, I think that would be lovely. I hope everything is looking good.
Squirrel your embryos are developing nicely, that is awsome.
Myangelryan I hope you are hanging in there with the waiting game.
Hello to everyone else, I hope things are travelling well.
afm after a couple of phonecalls this morning and discussions between embryologists making sure that one aggreed with the other and not being overly zealous, they have said that they are looking lovely. A lot of the fragmentation has gone and basically 5 out of 6 are around the grade 2 mark. 1 is perfect at the 8 cell stage and 1 at 10 cell stage and 3 at 7 cell and 1 at 6 which is the one that is average.
I am happy to move to blast as I think this has always been better for me and at the discussion this morning it would be hoping to pick the right ones, if we were to transfer today where at the blast stage you really can see the difference. I still truly believe that if I can get two nice blasts onboard I will get my bfp. I just have to keep myself very positive. I certainly cant fault my embryologists they have been awsome, even saying that they will check them in the morning, and if they were worried they would even pull me in for a day 4 transfer which is very rare, but they said they dont expect to call me, and just look at Thursday for my transfer. So fingers and toes are all still crossed.
Keraru
12/04/2011, 08:18 PM
Halby and Squirrel - wow - you guys have both produced some awesome embies on this cycle. Well done on making it this far with so many still in the race. That is so exciting!
mrs*n*p - how did your blood test and scan go today. Am hoping that you saw some nice follicles developing.
myangelryan - sorry to read that your last little one didn't survive for freezing. But I have everything crossed for the one you have on board. Keep your energies focussed on sending that one sticky vibes.
Indigo - day 11 - well done - you're nearly there. I'm with Halby - keep resisting peeing on a stick. My plan was that if the blood test was on a work day, I would pee on a stick the night before so I didn't get an upsetting phone call at work if it was bad news... not sure if the 18th is a work day for you...
AFM - well I am now officially PUPO... we had a day 3 transfer this morning of a 7 cell embryo with low fragmentation. Everyone seemed pretty happy with it which was great. We also go more info on our other embryo - yep its still hanging in there - apparently when they check for fertilisation they are looking for two dots in the centre of the egg which then disappear and for two dots on the inner side of the outside circle. Our little fighter had the two outer circles but not the two inner ones so they didn't know if they had just missed them (a timing thing) or if they didn't form. As of this morning it was at 5 cells and had a fair amount of fragmentation. So we were surprised that it was still there - but are not holding out hope that it will keep going. They are going to check it again at day 5 and day 6 to see whats happening and will ring us on day 7.
Oh - and our blood test is scheduled for Easter Monday - 25th. Its my birthday on the 27th so I'd love a birthday present - but I'm a bit of a realist and so would be very very surprised if we got lucky on our first cycle.
Good luck Halby and Squirell for your transfers on Thursday - I'll be checking in for news.

Hello lovely ladies
So I went along today for my blood test and ultrasound, I will of course get blood test results later today.
I have been told I have 5 good size folicles, although when I had the ultrasound she wrote on the screen LO (left ovary) 5F and RO (right ovary) 7F. I thought that meant there was 12 follicles, when I asked her this she said it doesn't necessarily mean that.

? That's what I thought, but then again, I would hope she knows what she is doing.
So then we went and met with a FN as mine is on annual leave and we were told we had 5 good ones, although they are a bit small. 1 x 15mm, 1 x 13mm and 3 smaller ones. I asked her what size they should be at, at this stage and she said the size that they are now. I was like

again as she had just said they were small?!!!!
To be honest I am a little disappointed with this number as last time we got 9 follicles and this time they have upped my injections so I had hoped this would mean we would get a bigger number, but nothing we can do about it hey.
The FN also thinks I may have to go back for another BT and ultrasound on Friday, but I will know more this afternoon, I'm not sure what that means.
Then she said that my epu would probably be day 14 (this Monday) not day 13 as it was last time (which would have been Sunday).
Feeling very unsure of this cycle and don't know what to expect at all now. Hmmmm
I will of course post more later when I've spoken to the FN again.
dreamstoreality
13/04/2011, 02:44 PM
Have spoken to the Nurse again and I will be going in on Friday for another blood test and scan. She said they are just wanting to check that they are picking the right day for things to happen and hoping some smaller ones continue to grow and pick up as well.
I asked her if it is likely that this cycle will be cancelled and she said most likely it will go ahead.
Fingers crossed, am so nervous now as this didn't happen to me last night (in that I had to go for another blood test etc), so the unknown is scarying me a little.
I

all is ok.
halby
13/04/2011, 03:50 PM
mrsn'p' your sizes are fine that is for sure. I dont know what dose you are on but you are looking at an average of 2mm per day so I would think your epu would be monday or tuesday. Do not worry about your cycle being cancelled, as long as your bloods reflect growing follicles they are definately going well. Your body will always respond differently in a cycle and its amazing how quickly those little folicles grow. Dont forget to give them a little talking too, I always do.
Keraru oh how exciting that you have your little one onboard. Have you named it? Sorry ladies I am wierd and have always named my embryos when transfered. I actually think about it from the time of cycle. A 7 cell is a lovely embryo for day 3. I your other little one is moving along nicely too..
I will call in to the clinic in an hour to find out transfer time and to find out how they are going? I didn't get the call this morning so that is really good news. I'm hanging out to get my 2 blasties onboard now. And in a couple of days time when I start the stressing please remind me about my confidence and excitement.
Hope everyone is having a good day
halby
14/04/2011, 05:53 PM
Well it is quiet in here. Good to see that no-one is obsessing about the waiting....hahaha
Had 2 lovely embryos transfered today. One blastocyst and one early blastocyst. They looked really nice and FS and embryologist was happy with them. Over the years we have transfered 2 on many occasions but this was the first time that fs asked me what I would do if I got twins. My answer was laugh and cry. I would be over the moon, double the cuddles. Anyway I have named my 2 littlies Coco and Freckles. My beta is now good friday as we are going away on the saturday and just want to know before we are with people as we dont tell people when we are trying. I thought they would be closed but they are open so its perfect to have it that day. I dont know if I have any to freeze yet, they were going to look at them at noon, so I will call tomorrow arvo to see if any were frozen. I hope so, they were moving in the right direction just in there own time.
Mrs'n'p any more news on pick up for you yet? hang in there
Keraru how is your 2ww going? I hope that the little one is still growing strong, but you have that nice embryo onboard so fingers crossed.
Squirrel from your post in your other buddy group, congrats on transfer. That is a lovely embryo by the sounds of it. You cant ask for more than that. Let us know how you go on the freezing part. Is your beta still easter saturday?
Indigo how are you holding out?????? Have you done the dreaded pee stick yet? You must be 13dpo now, I think anywhere from 10dpo is really tough as you know implantation should have happened and things will start to change. How are you feeling physically????

Hi libra - welcome aboard! It looks like 3 of us had transfers today! Let's hope the easter bunny brings some BFPs next weekend!
Halby, Coco and Freckles - congrats on being PUPO! Are you scared about transferring two? The embryologist asked us today if we wanted to transfer 2 but we decided against it. I have a very scarred uterus from when I had fibroids removed last year so the risk is too high for us. My BT is an early one on Good Friday too because we're going to Perth for Easter - let's hope it's good news for both of us!
Mrs*N*P - extra BTs are not a bad thing. This cycle I had scans and BTs on Days 6, 8, 10, 12 and 13! It seemed extreme at the time but I was so glad my FS was monitoring me closely so she could pick the precise time for me to trigger. I ended up getting 6 mature eggs out of 6 follicles so I'm glad she did!
Keraru, Indigo and Myangelryan - how are you all going?
AFM - we had one expanding blastocyst transferred today. I am still in shock that we made it to Day 5! A couple of the others were also expanding blastocysts but weren't as good as the one on board and weren't quite ready to freeze and the other 2 were lagging behind. My FS took a pic of our blastie too while it was on the screen which I thought was really lovely of her. Tomorrow I find out if we have anything to freeze and also my progesterone levels from the BT I had today.
What do you guys use for 2ww support? I'm on 2 crinones a day and I'm just hoping it's enough.
How does everyone feel about me making a list so we know when our BT dates are coming up? I'm happy to maintain it and I also understand if you might feel it's a bit too much pressure. Just let me know. (Anything to keep me busy in this 2ww!)

Hi girls
Squirrel, Halby, libra, congrats on such lovely embryo transfers. I have great feelings for all of you. This little group is going to be a group of BFPs (nothing like a bit of positive thinking huh?).
Halby, I've had twins (not sure if I've told you girls that already) and they're nothing but a blessing (but boy was the pregnancy hard and our little twin boy died at 4 months old). I hope they both hang in there for you! Go Coco and Freckles (so cute

).
Squirrell, I'm on those god awful pessaries 3x a day. Utrogestran or something they're called. 6 a day - hate hate hate them.
Well, I'm 9dpo or 6dp3dt today so getting down to the pointy end of the 2WW. My BT is next Wednesday 20th (
Squirrell, I'm happy for you to do a list if you can be bothered). Not really feeling much of anything going on. Twangy ovaries now and then and slightly sore boobs but nothing major. Still

but not feeling overly hopefull. Do any of you ladies have other kiddies or am I the only one? Just wondering.... (Edit, just realised you have a little DD Halby about the same age as mine)
Libbylu, are you still around? You're testing before me aren't you?
Hi to everyone else in this dreaded 2WW...

Another BT this morning to check those numbers are still heading the right direction, and then scan next Thursday, 21st, which will put me 7+2 I think. Let's hope we all get good news next week!!

HI libra glad you could join us.
Myangelryan, I did see the twin birth through your sig, but with the loss I didn't notice the date. I am so sorry. The heart ache that must have caused you and your family. I think with transfering 2 I am just at a stage where I cant keep doing this. It was such a long haul with dd that I dont have it in me physically or emotionally or even financially. The times I have got my bfp has been when we have transfered 2.
Squirrel I just have one crinone per day and always hope that it is enough. I have some pesseries left over from last cycle so every second day I also use one of those in addition. My FS laughs as I tend to self medicate. Our clinic doesn't do a blood to test for anything until 14dpo, atleast from your blood yesterday they will know that your p4 is in the right spot. Have yopu had problems with this in the past? Also coming to my lovely city for easter hey!
Lucina thanks for dropping in. You can lurk around when ever you want.
Mrs'n'p, Indigo, keraru, how is it going? and to anyone else I have missed I hope all is travelling well.
Well it is another day so another day closer to next Friday. I do truly hate the wait. I am still feeling good, just trying really hard to stay positive and busy now for the next week. I figure I have done all I can it is now up to Coco and Freckles to do there thing and "Grow, Hatch and Attach" And I reminded DH no stress for me this week. Probably a good thing as he is staying at a mates tonight to help him out so just dd and I so will be take away and movie time, a nice relaxing one.
Have a lovely day and weekend

Hi all a quick update again!!! Sorry work is crazy busy but I needed to pop in and say hi to you all.
My 5 follicles are still going really well and the smaller ones have caught up too - we now have 10 big ones!!! Am so excited and hope they all contain eggs for us!
I will find out later today if we are doing epu on Monday or Tuesday. It will now be Monday at the earliest, so I think Tuesday.
Feeling so much more confident now!
Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi all, I'm out. 14dpo today and I POAS this morning. BFN. BT on Monday will be a formality.
I'm not giving up yet, but am feeling quite despondent about having to do a 5th stim cycle. Emotionally, physically, financially shattered.
Good luck to everyone else.
