Thanks girls for the thoughts. Went today for egg collection at my clinic in Manchester and they were just delightful, I opted for the sedation and it was fantastic, didn't feel a thing and was eating a tuna butty 1/2hr later. All my fears were unfounded and my DH was able to sit with me throughout ...

Thanks Sara J, it was great to hear what you had to say. Its such a weird feeling that it is finally happening on Thursday.

Hi all,

Well we went back to the clinic this morning for another scan to check the follicles, we were told there are only 3 proper ones the other 2 haven't developed as quickly as they should. They have said I can start Cetrotide now with the menopur and go back on Monday to see whats going on and ...

Anne,

Best of luck for Monday, it does sound quite positive though. I will hopefully be having my EC next week so I guess my 2ww will be the week after. Thank goodness Patricia Cornwell brings out her new book at the end of October, her books scare me whitless (cant spell that one) so it will keep ...

Cla,

Thank you so much for that it has settled my mind considerably. Its so daunting doing IVF for the first time as you have no idea what to expect but having this site is fantastic.

Anyway mate, thanks for that and have a good holiday

Hi all you November buddies,

This is my first time and this is nothing like I have ever experienced before, so many ups and downs, its like one big roller coaster. If things go to plan I will be having my EC done next week and then the ET a couple of days later, so fingers crossed I will be waiting ...

Thanks for your reply it was so kind of you. Well we went to the clinic this morning and she said my follicles had grown very well and we were to go back again on Saturday morning and the reckons we will be able to start with the other injection Citrotide. Its one hurdle after another isn't it. Any ...

Hi everyone,

I think I posted something in the wrong place, I am new to this and I wanted to join in with the October buddies so I hope I have come to the right place.

This is our first time using IVF and I feel quite shell shocked by it all and rather confused so I am hoping for some advice. I ...

Hello everyone,
