Hi fiona,<br><br>Good luck with your 6 eggs, fingers crossed that they all fertilise nicely for you!!!! I am glad to hear this e/c was better than your last. Unfortunately for me it was the other way around, maybe because they took more eggs this time - WOW it was PAINFULL!! They also gave me ...

Hi Girls,<br><br>Havn't checked in for a while, but great to see everyone is progressing along nicely!!!<br><br>Well my e/c was on monday, they retrieved 15 eggs (ouch!!), but only 5 fertilized. My transfer will be on thursday and I will have to wait until then to find out the grades etc. So fingers ...

Hi Jules,<br><br>Well looks like we might just be e/c buddies!!! I also go for my last scan on Friday to determine wether it will be monday or possibly tuesday. However, I do have a sneeky feeling that it will be monday. I am also experiencing twinges in my ovaries, which I never felt on my first ...

Hi Girls,<br><br>Thanks for asking after me Beck...so here is my update. <br>I started stims last wednesday and had my 1st scan today. I have 10 follicles which is about on track for me. I will then start cetrotide tomorrow and also continue with Gonal F until egg collection, which is hopefully 30th ...

Hi Luce,<br><br>Welcome to the board, you have found a good site here as the girls are so knowledgable and supportive.<br><br>I have had one round of IVF, just about to start my 2nd, so I can share with you my experince. I started Buserelin (down regs) on day 21 until AF arrived. Unfortunately Af ...

Hi Jules,<br><br>I think my egg collection will be around 30th sept also!!!! I started Gonal F yesterday and go back monday for a scan, so I will know more then.<br><br>You mentioned that you have accupuncture and take chinese herbs. I also do the same, however I was not advised to stop taking the ...

Hi Catkin,<br><br>I am so sorry that you are feeling so down, please don't give up hope. I agree with Lucy, you should find out as much as you can about PCOS for you to understand your situation better. I suggest searching the interenet, it is such a great source of information. <br>If you are on ...

Oh Jackie {{{HUGS}}}<br><br>I am so sorry that you got a -ve. You must have been going through hell, especially when you had a faint +ve.<br>I would wait until your blood test comes back to see what that says. <br><br>I know how you feel, do what you have to do to make yourself feel better. Spend ...

Jackie,<br><br>I am so sorry that you had another -ve hpt, please don't give up hope, it's not over just yet!!! When I tested I +ve in March, I had really bad cramps and thought AF was about to start, I even took nurofen as the cramps were so bad. Some women don't test +ve until after AF is a few ...

Hi Jackie,<br><br>Just a bit curious about the blobbly things you found..did you start bleeding? Don't worry about implantation bleeding, I never experienced that on either of my pregnancies. Do you have any symptoms?<br>Well monday is not too far off now, I am keeping everything crossed for you ...

Hi Beck,<br><br>I too am starting IVF No.2 around 20th Sept, so not too far apart. However, this time I am not down regulating as the protocol I have been put on requires only stimulating drugs - so good for me not having to inject for so long!!!<br><br>Don't worry about doing IVF, it really isn't ...

Hi girls,<br><br>Good idea with the intro's!!!!<br>I am Lisa, just turned 35, DH 39. TTC 3 years with unexplained infertility. I have had 5 IUI's in total, 1 was successful but ended in m/c (March 2002) due to + antiphospholipid antibodies, 1 IVF ened in chemical pregnancy (August 2002).<br>I am now ...

Hi jackie,<br><br>Glad to hear that you are trying to gain control again!!!!!! I really think that you are testing too early, some women don't get a +HPT until after AF is due, so don't dispair. Also clearblue is used from day of missed period, so I would wait a while (I know, easy for me to say now ...

Hi terri,<br><br>Sorry that you are having such a hard time down regulating!!! I have only had one round of IVF, (ended in a chemical pregnancy) and I also took buserelin, but everything seemed to be ok, apart from it delaying AF by 1 week. I was told this was quite normal. I am due to start IVF No2 ...

Hi Emma,<br><br>Sorry that I do not have any answers for you, but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I too have had 2 m/c, the 1st after IUI treatment and the 2nd after my 1st IVF. I was told that the 2nd one was a chemical pregnancy and was just bad luck, but my first was down to ...
