Hi Everyone, Luce, nice to hear from you again, you are right about the perscription! I am also taking Viagra (yes you heard right!!) to make the lining of my womb thicker. I took this last time too - does anyone else?? Had my first scan today following 5 days of injections and things seem to look o.k. I have follicles on both ovaries and Mr T seemed to think things looked fairly promising. I never expect to see loads, so I was quite pleased. On previous attemps I have had one ovary that seems to lag behind! Anyway still early days yet! Does anyone else get really bad bruising? I think it may be the heparine but my injection sites do not look pretty and I gave myself a knock the other day and my leg is black and blue! Becky, Were you at the clinic today? There was a long queue for BT's at Harley Street and I wondered if you were there? Lissa, All the best for your meeting with Mr T! Take Care Everyone, Love Rach XX

Hi everyone Rachael - yes, i was in that queue!!!! I had a red jumper on and a stripey scarf. I got there around 9:30ish and was chatting to two other girls in front of me! am going in for BT gain tomorrow so maybe will bump in to you. did you have your scan yesterday? I went in to see Mr T at around 11:30ish. your viagra sounds interesting. I'm not on anything exotic like that. just plain old Gonal F now. mind you viaga, sounds like it could be quite fun!! ec is going to be Wed or Thurs I think, though they are coasting me today, presumably to reduce risk of ohss as my oestridal levels have rocketed. have been told to drink 4 litres of water plus 1 litre of milk a day!!! aargg!! am on loo the whole time! luce - not long now. you test on Wed right? am so hoping this is the one for you. will you go up there for a blood test or will you do a hpt? beckymXX

Hi Becky, have just read your message and think I saw you at the clinic today, was 2 places behind you in the queue, cream coat on, pink jumper - does that sound familiar? Do you have a brown bag?!! Am pretty sure it must have been you because I think I saw a stripey scarf! I am back tomorrow just for a bt this time and if you are still coasting tomorrow, it would be great to meet up. I will be getting to Harley Street about 10.45am ish. Will check this site tomorrow am first thing to see if you are going to be about but maybe you will be having your EC, or a day off before your EC on Thursday. If you are going to be about let me know. I am not drinking so much this time, just 3 litres of water and 1 of milk but on previous times I have been up to 5 litres water and 1 of milk which was awfull! I had a scan today with Mr Gorgy, saw some follies on both ovaries but he didn't give much away as to how many were there. He is very different to Mr T, when I said did it all look o.k., he just said fine and that was my lot!! Luce, Hope you are o.k. Not sure if tomorrow is the big day for you but am thinking of you and wishing you all the luck in the world. I know what a terrible day it is on the nerves, so take care. Lots of Love RachXX Oh on the subject of the Viagra, my husband has his eye on them but I have warned him of the dangers of taking other people's medication!!!

Hi Rachael Yes I'm going to be up there tomorrow at same time as am still coasting - day 4 now! I think Luce went through this as well with having to hand around for repeats. yes I do have a brown bag!! see you tomorrow, hopefully beckymxx

Hi Becky, Was really nice to see you this morning, even though it was all a bit rushed! I hope that your scan went o.k. and that you get the go ahead for EC really soon, it all gets really tiring having to wait around for repeat bt's and not knowing exactly when EC will be, I can remember from my last time, I was really on edge! Hang on in there, I know it's hard but you can do it! There are so many twists and turns to this IVF thing that it really does your head in sometimes! God what an awful day it is today as well, really miserable weather, I couldn't wait to get home! Hi Luce, hope you are o.k., let us know how things are with you at some point. Thinking of you both & sending lots of positive vibes!! Love Rach X [Edited by Rachael on 29-Oct-03 06:51]

Hi there Yep, we tested today. BFN I'm afraid, but I knew that already as I started to bleed on Saturday. We're gutted. To top it all, ARGC really screwed up today and called us twice to tell us it was negative. As if we need to hear that kind of news more than once. This is the end of the line for us I'm afraid, and we're off to the 'Life After IVF' board, somehow or another. No matter how much you prepare yourself for it, it is never easy Hope you two have more luck than we did. Love Lucy

Lucy, I am so sorry. When you didn't post, I thought things might not be o.k. I don't know what to say, there is nothing to say really, except that life is so bloody unfair. I will be thinking of you and hoping that you get through the next few days/weeks and then make some new and postive plans to move forward again some other way. I really admire you for trying so hard and now making the decision to move on. There is life after IVF and you will find it, although I know that it's hard to see that at the moment. I will continue to keep an eye on your posts, take good care over the next few days, it won't be easy but I hope that the girls on here and on the Fertility Friends board can bring you some comfort. All my love Rach X

Lucy We have n't spoken before but I have been following your cycle, very similar dates to my own. All I can say is I am terribly, terribly sorry. Love Gracexx

oh luce, so very sorry, really hoped this was the one for you. don't know what to say. you are so brave to make the decision to stop. must be a really hard one. I wish you all the very best and will pop over to the life after IVF to say hello - you will find I have already posted a question there on adoption. all my love beckym xxx
