I am so sorry for my very upsetting post yesterday. I was really upset about the situation. I am doing better today, just really bored. Thank you all for the support and I hope none of you ever have this type of cycle. I am determined to do everything I can for my little one. I noticed everyone else is having a steady time. I am so very glad.

Cowgirlclass I am very happy for you and Thook. It seems you have both reach your goals.

For the rest, you are all going to make it. This is our month girls. Lets make the best of it.

Hello again

Rachael chin up and positive thoughts.

Cowgirlclass (what does your sign in name mean?!?!) that sounds ever so exciting, am hoping that line gets darker by the day!!!

I had my scan and now, would you believe it, I have 14 follicles!!! Not sure how I've gone from 8 to 14 in the space of 4 days, but there you go. The only thing is they are not growing as quickly as they should be and my largest is only 16 mm. So, looks like I won't be going in for the op on Monday, but on Weds instead. Oh well. The docs said 'slowly but surely' is a good thing and they don't want to increase my dose in case it encourages more to grow. They just want the ones that I do have to grow a few mm more!!!

This is such a rollercoaster for all of us!!

Good luck to all
xx

Hello-

I'm a little groggy. Just wanted to see how everyone was doing. They got 5 eggs and said it went well. I'll know tomorrow morning how they faired.

Hope everyone has a great day! Good night. I'm off to bed...again.

Hi everyone! I just got home from my transfer. My doctor called this morning at 9am and said to come in at 10am. I had to hurry and drink 18 oz. of water. We have three embies that fertilized. My doctor transferred all three of them. They are 4-cell, grade 2. Not sure if that's good or bad. We don't have any to freeze. :?

On the 12th I start estrogen patches. I am to keep taking 1cc of the progesterone and then up it to 2cc's on the 12th also. I go for my test on the 19th. Now for the 2ww...

Haylie, you are not a downer.... it's normal. The 2ww is the hardest part as you are so close. This is when your mind plays with you..... I am PG, I'm not PG! Enough to drive anyone crazy. And the PIO shots are terrible. Glad to hear that you are not doing HPT as well..... I did one for my first IVF and getting a neg result was devastating, and then I didn't even know for sure that it was right as it could have been too early! So I feel that there is no upside to doing one. Hang in there and just try to stay positive. I have a really good feeling about you getting BFP.

I am not really the one you should ask that... because I always do them. With my first IVF I did one on I think day 7 after transfer and got a BFP... But then I did one on my FET and it was negative and I was devastated... but then again it gave me time to prepare for the -ve...

If you do it and it is -ve you can look at it this way... you know the HCG shot is out of your system(if you took one) and then if you do it again and its +ve then you know that it is the real deal!!!

It just depends on what kind of person you are... Me, I don't like the fact of waiting for the call, I want to have an idea of what to expect so that I am not blown away...

I know I am no help... Sorry!!! Let me know what you decide!!!!

haylie- hiya mate, sorry haven't posted for a while. have been back to work and have been a bit cream crackered when i got home! we are a bit short staffed and i've had to work through my lunch aaarrrhhh! anyway, am not doing too bad on 2ww, feel very bloated still but i guess this is normal, do you feel bloated? as it's getting closer to testing im imagining how i will react to positive or a negative result. i just can't picture telling people we've finally done it. i think thats what we need to do though, think positive and just trust that things will be ok for us. i know the weather is rubbish too at the moment and we can't even have a sunbed to get some valuable vitamin d to make us feel happier. so chin up, we're nearly there! just think about those embies bedding down and getting comfy for next 9 months hopefully.

good luck everyone this week, lots of EC/ET this week, put your feet up, eat chocolate and watch some good chick flicks. xx

Went today for scan and they are estimating Monday. I have to go in tommorrow again.

he said that there should be 8-10 follicles and everything is looking good. A little dissapointed because with last time I had 16 eggs. Oh-well, it only takes one...
