Carolyn congratulations on your 6 beautiful eggs... i know its seems upsetting BUT
think of it this way a lot of us have what's called implantation failure (me included) the thinking behind this is that the timing is off that the lining is ahead of the embies....so by them leaving some eggs your body gets to time everything
ok your little ones are in the dish doing the dance with hubby's swimmers...your remaining eggs are being released by your body one of those has to start down your newly opened tube so that's making its way down over the next couple of days your body doesn't know it hasn't been fertilized so as its traveling your other little ones are getting ready to come home...as your egg reaches your womb your body will be all triggered to receive it only tada the dr switches it with your embies :wink: perfect timing ...

sending love i hope you don't have to much pain or discomfort

love Aunty

Dear Carolyn,

I know it must be upsetting to feel like half of what you've been enduring the stimulation for is wasted. But we all know: it only takes one. And right now, you have six!! I am thinking of you all the time. I so want this to work out for you!! I am sure the most important thing is to stay calm and hopeful in all this. Just think of our Laura when you start feeling upset.

It will work out this time, Carolyn!!

I hope your having a good rest and that time flies by until Thursday.

PMAAAAA to you! Love, Vero

Wow. Thanks so very much for all your support. I cannot tell you how terrific it is to have many terrific ladies willing you on. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Aunty - I am with Becky. You are the font of all knowledge. I would never have thought of what you wrote but it makes perfect sense to me. I read it to dh and he said is that from Aunty Pebbles? 8) He sends you his best regards as he thinks that you have helped me calm down.

Vero and Laura - My April-May pals - love the fact that you both stepped in to this thread to help me out. We have come such a long way together

Susan - Will definitely not do any work this week - other than log on a little from home. Next week I'll probably do some but not too much. How about you?

So I have had a really good cry/sob for the ones that did not make it. :cry: I have been to bed for a couple of hours. Read all you posts. Feel better already. PMA somewhat back on track. Trying to be glass half full rather than glass half empty :wink:

I'll be testing 12th rather than 13th which makes me feel better too! 1 day less to wait........

Sorry to be self obsessed today. Will write personals tomorrow when I am off work & can catch up with all your news.

Early night for me after Robert Winston programme. Sure that I shall sleep well tonight.

Love to you all.

Carolyn, Sorry that things did not go the way you expected them to today. 6 is a wonderful number though and I have a feeling things will work out wonderfully for you,

Bec- Sorry that the witch AF is holding you up. I will do my bring it on dance tonight when I get home from work. HEHE!

Aunty- Everyone is so right about you. You are very intelligent in this process and without you in my life right now I think I would be going crazy. Your words and kindness has really been uplifting and has given me the strength to get through this process and for that I thank you.

Jordan22- Where are you chicky?? I havent heard from you and just wanted to check in and see how things are going.

As for me I have my follow up tomorrow and I am praying I get my timeline. I am so ready to be the pin cushion that I am meant to be. LOL! In all seriousness, I am ready to do this and can not wait for a date. Talk to you all soon. Sending love, prayers and baby dust to you all!!!

gbnut: sorry to confuse you (believe me, it is a bit confusing :? ). I have had poor response, and poor quality embryos. So my RE is wanting to do 3 stim/ERs in a row w/ new protocol. All ferts will be frozen after each ER. After the last ER, will plan a FET (thaw all at same time---hopefully around 20), hoping to have a few good ones and have my uterine lining primed and ready for action :D . So I probably won't FET until April. I am just putting totsicles in the "bank" for the next 2-3 cycles. In some ways, it will be nice to skip the 2ww (or at least postpone it for a few months :wink: ).

Bec: so sorry you haven't been able to start yet. Doin' the AF dance for you Image

Carolyn: congrats on having your EC over. I am sorry that they had to leave half of 'em in there. Bummer. Sending +++ vibes for the rest of them!!!

Aunty: you ARE the best! I told dh about everyone and their dh playing games...he wanted me to tell you all that he is in "training". He said he needs to get real good so that when he plays w/our kids they don't beat him badly. Huh??? But as that is the worst of his vices... dh, play away!!!!

So glad to be shooting up again :D ! Wishing the stimmers "happy stimming" and the 2ww'ers all the patience in the world!

Well, I amfresh back from the vampires. Seriously, those people should come with warnings. I am freaked out enough about needles so when the tech walks in with a handful of them I damn near passed out! Seriously though I should have waited for DH to home, I got pretty dizzy, no one told me it would be six hge tubes full. But now I am safely back home and DH is feeling pretty bad for me right now so he volunteered to make dinner when he gets home.

I'm off to nap.

Hey all

god, i thought i'd caught up nicely last night (after my long post) and then i sleep and come back to 3 more pages!! :D think i'll have to stop sleeping now! :lol:

tc - i know what you mean about the migraines. when i started to give up coffee i had them too so i went back on one cup a day. that stopped the headaches and i then gave up completely. had headaches for about a week but all ok now. so basically, i was that addicted that i had to ween myself off slowly...felt like a right druggie!! :lol:

charity - it sounds like you have a lovely relationship with your dh. thats so important when you are going through all this. you made me laugh about the back rub...if only! :lol: and i was nearly rofl about the dork! oh, an i have a question. whats a yuppie??

mominwaiting - a great big welcome to you!!!! you'll find so much support on here! i'm new to all this ivf business too and quite frankly i think i'd have gone insane by now if i hadnt found this site...feel free to ask any questions you have, thats what i did and still do and it really helps. we're also using icsi (which i always thought meant injecting it straight from dh - i wish!! only joking! :wink: )

angie - hope you're ok and doing well in your 2ww. i cant get over how excited i am! i'll also be using the pessaries and i'm on a fresh cycle. cant wait!! lol...only joking!

aunty - sorry hunny, i thought you were joking too (like jem) when you said about the job. really sorry to hear that but like everyone else you are more than welcome to come to the UK and paint here! :wink: also, whats MIA??

mom and welsh fairy - your pictures are both lovely on myspace...think i might have to do one! fed - your website is really cool, too! wouldnt be able to produce something like that!

sok - i had the funniest image in my head of you starting your jabs with dh and your mum! (sorry, i know it probably wasnt funny for you). i couldnt imagine my mum watching while dh gives me jabs!! haha. good on you fort starting though!! :D

carolyn - sorry to hear about your others. i know everyone has already said it but it does only take one! look at the lady on the programme last night who only had 2 embies left for life!! and she ended up with one!! also, did you get to catch up with xfactor?? i couldnt believe ben was in the final 2!!! and the mcdoodle brothers. well, what can i say.

bec - sorry hunny to hear no af still. what a bummer! not long though now! thinking of you!! xxx

really sorry if i've missed anybody!!

i just have a general question. i've been seeing ladies chat about gataraid and v8...what is that??

also, you know those really real dreams you get sometimes (well i do)...well i had a dream last night that i fell pregnant naturally and told dh. he cried and we couldnt believe it so shortly before ivf. i thought to myself in my dream that i must be waking up soon. and obviously i did. i was so upset this morning!! anyway, never mind...just think those dreams are not fair!! :evil: not long and we'll all have our dreams come true...literally! :D

take care everyone

xx
