Having had egg collection i can tell you that it feels like you were awake for all of it, although in retrospect, it does become clear that you "weren't quite there". I can rememeber follicle numbers 1, 2, & 11 but nothing in between. My partner was with me the whiole time and he said I just looked ...

Have done the proper test this morning and its still negative. Never felt good about this cycle all along really.

We won't be doing this again. We said from the start that we would only have one run at it and nothing about the process has changed our minds really. I now feel like I have spent a ...

Thanks for your thoughts Jen. Sorry to hear your news. Although you are trying to keep your chin up I know how much this hurts.

I was quite flat yesterday and very convinced things weren't going to plan so i gave in to the HPT and it was negative. I know they don't always give accurate results due ...

Well - mystery solved - despite 160 showing there, it really doesn't exist yet. Or maybe it does now?

Is something strange happenning to this thread?

It is showing as 160 pages long but when I try to get page 160 it tells me that the topic doesn't exist. I'm posting to see if I can get to page 160 Testing, Testing!

I have to say that my stimming and EC/T was last November (BFN) and I have also never got back to my previous shape despite running several times a week. I thought it was just me! Has anyone else had dificulty getting back into shape after stimming and EC/T ? (other than the pregnant ones who ...

My clinic advised me to keep taking the aspirin and that research shows it is associated with a reduced risk of miscarriage. I'm worried now because even as she said it I thought I was advised the opposite last time. Also, this time she advised me to stop taking all my vitamins except folic acid ...

I'd reinforce that really the early "symptoms of pregnancy" are probably usualy just signs that the drugs are working. When i was actually pregnant 4 years ago, I can remember feeling less pregnant when i did the test at 3 days after my period was due, than i usually do 3 days before my period, as ...

At my clinic I watched it all happen. It is really weird that you could have a baby who you saw when they were only a few cells - quite wondrous really.

The first time i was really shocked that as soon as it was over it was "Right, get dressed and off you go!". I was really half expecting to be in ...

Hi All!

Lisa - Well Done!! Many congratulations, you must be buzzing! Remember to keep looking after yourself. How we treasure every positive on this thread. Thank you for bringing that ray of sunshine to us all!

Jen - glad you found the article, Sonia - see if you can find it too.

I'm fine but ...

Thought i'd try and post this link

www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-5858451,00html

positive news on ivf fertility rates in older women and especially pertinent to me and Jen with our one little soldier each.

Still keeping everything crossed for you lisa!

EDIT

- Oh how annoying ...

Loads of luck and love and prayers coming your way for tomorrow Lisa!

All the best!

Hi Jen!

Nice to hear from you. Strange us both having just the one this time. Funnily enough, I am finding it easier to focus on just the one - ridiculous I know! I don't know, was it that slight background fear of twins that distracted me last time? I'm sure it wasn't, yet focussing on my one ...

I understand where you're coming from, although my DP was keen for us to have kids from the start, it just didn't work out. He has a 14 year old who stays alternate weekends. We've been together 4 years.

Around the time of my first cycle I got quite upset (and not a little bitter and twisted) about ...

Bev T - I'd nip into an optician and get your eye pressures checked. I have glaucoma and the symptoms you describe are simailar to what I had when I first went to get checked out. It could be caused by something in the meds raising the pressure in your eyes as mine also went a bit weird with the ...
