Thank you all for your lovely wishes.

I remember reading about inspirational stories when TTC and they always helped me stay positive. It is now really strange being one of those stories myself.

I do hope that it helps at least one person to keep trying and to achieve their own miracle.

Love to ...

Hi Amfy,

I find when on Buserlin on the higher dose before stimms and to a lesser extent when stimming that I get blurry or poorer vision.

As it is putting us into a mini-menopause I guess its not unusual. Do have yourself checked out with the clinic and i hope everything returns to normal and you ...

Hi DebraP,

Just wanted to say thanks for that. Hope you're doing well today.

I've been feeling ill since mid-morning and nothing I do is taking it away - hope its a good sign or maybe just a bug :: :?

Hi Caroline,

Thank you so much for sharing the info on your clinic and cycle. As this is my first IVF and not sure if they will offer me more than one shot because of my age it is heartening to see your result and know your treatment so I can discuss whatever options they may or may not offer me if ...

Hi All,

I agree, this 2ww business is perhaps the toughest part of the whole journey. I seem to swing from chilled and PMA all bouncy and happy to being an obsessive knicker checker full of Henrietta hormones. I am sure it is all to do with the massive dose of Cyclogest each night. I seem to have ...
