Hi Girls Sorry have not had a chance to look in but was feeling very groggy after the anesthetic. All went Okay they got 10 eggs and 8 have fertilized which is fine. We are having three day transfer so now I am just hoping that at least a couple of them last until tomorrow am. Every little step brings it own worries does n't it? Hope all of you are okay too. Becky, I have been wondering about the milk drinking? I have never been told to drink milk but I know alot of girls have, do you know what the theory is? Good luck Alison and Bel. let's hope it is a good day for all us gals. Welcome to Julie too. I will let you know how it goes. LOve Gracexxx

Hi girls Sorry I have been so quiet for a while. Work has been really busy and I have been trying to keep as busy as possible to keep my mind off the 2ww. AF was due to arrive last Friday and still has not come so that is a good sign. After the weekend and as I am now up to 17 days since EC (or Day 31) I decided to go and have my test a day early. So as I sit here, I am waiting for the results!! By the time most of you wake up I am going to know one way or another - nervous does not really describe the feeling!!! I go through phases of feeling really positive and then feeling as though there is no way I could be pg. Aly, Alison & Bel - how are you feeling? It is such a long wait. I have been hunting around to see when everyone tests. Alison - think yours is today - all the very best of luck. Sending positive thoughts to you. I know Bel tests tomorrow - Bel i am thinking of you. Aly I think you are the 24th so a couple of days to go but hang in there! Becky - great to hear DH has pulled through. Grace - fantastic news about your EC, lots of nice little embies left over to freeze, although here's hoping you won't need them - at least not for a while. Lorraine - the scan results sound good, hope your follies keep growing Traci - good news on the down regging, fingers crossed for your cousins stimming phase Vicki - good luck with the stimming this week. lisa p - good luck with the injections. I found the tummy to be a good place to inject as well. Jules - welcome to the OCBs Thinking of you all Lots of love Kate W

Grace - glad to see that ec went well - that's a good percentage fertilised so far so it's looking good,isn't it? very best of luck for et tomorrow. you'll be the first of our "second batch" to test I think!! I believe the milk is for protein to ward off the dreaded OHSS (which I had badly last time). I know most people at our clinic are advised to drink this but nuts, chicken etc will probably do as well, I guess. I'm off for a blood test tomorrow morning to see how the stimming is going. am on day 3. beckym xx

Hi OCBs I thought I would post again and let you know that outcome. I still cannot believe it myself but it was a positive. I am so happy, I can't believe it. Hopefully it is a sign of good things to come for the OCBs. I want to see lots of positives to join me a pg buddies in the next few weeks! Lots of love Kate xxx

BelB · Post by **BelB** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 9:12 am

Oh WOW KATE!!!!!!!!!!!, am so happy for you - my aussie OCB buddy!!, must be a fabulous feeling. Enjoy this time, please keep us updated, we want to know your news re. the next 2ww, the scan etc.. I test tomorrow, af was due Saturday, so far she has stayed away, have been convinced that she is coming though, all my classic signs are here with avengance, so please keep fingers and toes crossed! Thinking of all of the OCB Belinda

Kate W · Post by **Kate W** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 9:19 am

Bel I had all the classic signs as well. I have had severe AF pains for about a week but the only difference was they didn't stay around for a long time but would be over after a few minutes. Had all the other signs though, sore and swollen boobs, grumpiness, etc etc. No grumpiness today though - I am on top of the world! AF being this late is a good sign. Good luck tomorrow. I will be thinking of you and hoping that the Aussies set the scene for very successful OCBs!! Love Kate

Hi Girls Thanks so much for your suppost and good wishes re embryo transfer. It has all gone well so far. We had a big decision to make this morning though and my brain is still reeling a bit. All the embryos did well and all except a couple were graded 1 or two. We had the option of putting them back today day three or waiting for Blastocyst on Wednesday. We really did n't know what to do. I was mindful of the fact that clinic have n't been doing Blastocysts for that long and in end we put them back today. We are leaving the others to develop in the hope that one or two might develop in to Blastocysts and then we will freeze them. We are happy with the decision now, but it was hard at the time. We also opted for putting three back!!, and assisted hatching this is my sixth go so we might as well pull out all the stops. Going to try and keep positive and take lots of rest. I have found this attempt pretty hard going at times I suppose because I have been here so many times but let's hope I am in for some luck. Great news about kate is n't it? Hopefully a few more coming our way over the next few days. Good to hear that things are going well Traci, and that Mandy is fine too. Good luck with your scan Becky, let us know how it went. Aly keep the chin up and try not to take any notice of the cramps, I know how hard that is though. It is just such a hard process this whole thing and you are bound to get up and down moments.Keep hanging on though. Dolly, keep on sniffin girl!! Good luck for Wednesday Frances, it is a horrible bloated feeling is n't it? Lorraine, you old bird, good luck with scan. Vicki hope the Puregon injections are okay, you will be fine. I am sorry if I left anyone out my head still muffy, will talk soon. Love Gracexx

First of all congratulations Kate !!! really happy for you. just goes to show it can happen the first time - vicki, Lisa P take note. take good care of yoursef and we'll all be waiting to see if it's twins in 2 weeks time!! Bel and alison - best of luck. we're on a roll now. grace - glad to hear et went well - I think i may be given the dreaded blastocyst decision as well this time; haven't decided yet. aly - hang on in there until Thursday. I had blood test today which was ok and am going back for another blood test and scan tomorrow to check the follicles (day 5). They told me today that I will be in for checks practically every day until ec now bcause of OHSS last time. best of luck everyone! beckym xxx
