morning ladies

bec - yes, tuesdays my day, thanks. i'm ok...really, really nervous...my IBS has been playing up, i'm getting headaches, etc which i think is all down to nerves. i'm surei'll be fine after tomorrow though!! anyway, i'll stop whinging now....hehe...so how you doing?? any symptoms yet??

charlie - i'm feeling your worries about ovulating too soon, OHSS, etc...we'll be fine!! good luck with your app tomorrow.

mom - your post was so sweet. thank you so much!!! blimey, 6 years!!! do you mind if i ask whats wrong with you two?? i see you used icsi last time so i'm guessing some male factor!?!

sassy - thanks...i cant imagine triggering at the moment but like you said, not long and it will be here!! oh, i so cant wait!!

my2 - the best of luck with ET today!! your babies are coming home!!!

vickie - how did your trigger shot go?? your EC is tom, i'm so excited!! how you feeling?

aunty - thanks...it is very exciting but so bloody nerveracking!! hehe...aaaww, you poor thing with your symptoms...you're so patient and chilled out!! you so deserve a BFP!!

jodic - how did your triggering go?? 2 shots, eh?! you're special!! uuhh, you have your EC tom, too! its so exciting!! sorry to hear about your MIL giving you both such a hard time. it really makes me cross...some people!

phx - a great big welcome to you!!! the best of luck with your triggering tom...you'll find loads of support on here...if you have any questions, just ask...

silva - sorry to hear things have been delayed slightly...its so hard when you psych yourself up for something and then a tiny delay seems like ages. but its only to make sure that your home is not a good but a perfect home for your little ones!! good luck with your app today!!

cinny - it really depends on how you feel as to whether or not you want to tell your boss. i told mine and she was absolutely fine with it. i needed to let her know as its team work and they get very funny about having time out. so i had to explain to her that sometimes i will need time off last minute. i would go with gut instinct though...

sophie - hey!!! so good to hear from you. glad you're ok. really glad that your ibs has calmed. no, ibs doesnt usually misbehave with af...like you said, i think its the excitement/nerves about tom thats making it play up! but its been much better since sat. glad the info was interesting...i'm not considering it at the moment but i see what the clinic says.

ange - hope you can recharge your batteries....thinking of you!

tans - hold on, i cant imagine how hard the 2ww must be!!! it will all be worth it in the end though!!

angie - sounds like you've had a great w/end. i bet it was just what you needed!

arizona - sorry to hear about your troubles with the BCP but thankfully like aunty said you should be fine. thinking of you though!!

fiona - well done for starting AF!!! woohoo!!

as for me...sorry about my long post last time. think my question might have got lost in there somewhere... ...if i get the option of choosing between nasal spray or injections for downregging, does anyone know which one is better or which one has better responses?

Morning Ladies,

Please forgive me, I never seem to have any time to post, always running around!! I hope you're all doing ok. Even if I don't post much, you are all still in my thoughts.

I have a quick update on my follie scan this morning... I have 6 follies on the left, 2 measuring 18, 1 at 14, 1 at 12, 1 at 10 and 1 at 8. I am quite pleased with that. However, my right has nothing. Nurse said there are a couple of really titchy ones but nothing to speak of, which is "a little disappointing".

They upped my dose this time as last time they only got 2 eggs, even though I had 14 follies... Nurse said this morning they hope to get bigger follies this time to enable the eggs to have matured but the time they collect them. I feel a little dispondent now, I thought as my dose is higher there would be more follies, and none on the right is really disappointing isn't it?

Any thoughts...?

[Vickie]

Hey Ems - don't worry about 6 follies - it is quality and not quantity remember! They sound like they r a good size so at least u know that they'll all b mature!

I haven't got as many follies as i did last time. When we cycled together in Aug/Sep i had 22 and this time i have 14 but, they think they'll prob get 5-6 eggs?!

At first, i was really dissapointed but, they reassured me it is quality and not quantity and really, we only want 2 to put back don't we?! I'm sure it will be fine but the main thing is try not to worry. I know exactly how you feel and its not that easy but concentrate on the bigg ones u have got giving u that baby that u so deserve!!

Aunty - sorry to hear that ur not feeling too gr8 but this time its all going to be worth it!!!

Jodic - my shot was fine i was so worried and thought it was going to kill me but, it was no different to the others!! Good luck for 2moro - i'll b thinking of u and then hopefully, we'll be getting BFP's on the same day!!!

We r just going off to stay in a hotel now so that we don't have all the travelling in the morning!

Sorry to all those of u that i've forgotton but i really am thinking of every1!

I'll let u know how i have got on when i get back 2moro!!

Love 2 every1

hi ems - sorry to hear that...unfortunately cant give any thoughts as i'm new to all this but just wanted you to know that i'm thinking of you!!!

[Ems1971]

Thanks girls. I am trying not to get too down about it. I keep telling myself "it only takes one".

Vickie - I will be thinking of you tomorrow honey. Fingers crossed you get lots of lovely eggies. Please post as soon as you feel you can and let us know how you go.

xxxxxx

[shantala]

ems - definitely, it does only take one!!! one little healthy one and you'll be well away!!! thinking of you!!

[CINNY1]

Shan...very good advice. I'm just going to cool out and wait until the baseline. Whew, 2 more days and I'm off BCP. At least that's one check on the list of things to do. I am still in shock that this is actually happening. Has any1 else gone through this state of disbelief?

[tcbalgord]

Morning ladies!

Welcome to the new families, as I'm sure you are already finding out this is an amazing bunch of people here! Good Luck to all of you!

Looks like this is a busy week we have coming up, so good luck my dears I am praying for all of you!

I know that I have not been around much, but I thought it might do me good to take a step back from all of this for a lil bit. I went out with some friends that I haven't seen in over a year, and had a smashing good time!
And while I am always thinking of you all I watched a show on multiples last night and it made me miss all of you more!
I'm not sure when I will re-join the cycle as DH just decided to quit his job and go back to a job where he gets paid more but the insurance is really bad. (Go figure! LOL) But we still have the 6 viles they got from DH so I'll just hold onto those for awhile. I am still determined to give Abby siblings one day!

Have a great day ladies and a wonderful week!

[Haylie]

[AuntyPebbles]

Good Morning Lady's
Lara your so sweet and your right in a couple of weeks it will be worth it

oooo Haylie everything crossed for you hope they dont leave you waiting to long for the call

TC its really good to see you your so level headed about this all i wish you luck and a blessing whenever your ready to move forward

Cinny i just realised we are on the same time frame i have two more days of BC and 9 left on Lupron i think you start your stimms the day before me but we are pretty close

Vickie thank you im good getting excited now....it is very true all we need is one sticky one we will all be thinking of you..

Ems its normal to be dissapointed but your just like me my right ovary will not play ball it gives up nothing so i have to rely on my left for all my eggs my clinic always give me a count like yours last time they said we had 5 follies once i was asleep they found 11 eggs i think they can be more aggressive once we are sleeping in looking for them so you never know you might be surprised but even 6 is a good number your little one could well be in there

Shantala ooo not long now...im excited for you

love to all Aunty

hi shantala - not shure why we did ICSI think it was because on DH last sperm count it was low but all other times it was ok they said it could of just been a one off but went ahead with ICSI just incase. They havent found any reason why we havent fell pregant ive had loads of test done laparsocopy x- ray with the dye inot my tubes to makeshure they arent blocked all came back clear. This is whats so furstrating because at least if there were a cause then it could be fixed and we would concieve. But ive come to the point now although it is hard it will happen maybe not to day or tommorow but some day we ll get our little Racheal or James. Sorry just trying to be postive about things im trying lol .
Have they found any reason with you two ? sorry if youve mentioned in your posts before

Hi to everyone will do more personals ltr DH has jst took me on a clothes shopping spree going to admire my purchase

[shantala]

hey ladies

vickie - good luck with tom. we said that we would stay close by in a hotel if the EC or ET is too early. think its a good idea and its less stressful then!

cinny - glad i could help. i must admit, i'm trying to find a way to tell my boss HOW OFTEN i'll need time off for scans but i guess i wont know that till nearer to the time (or tomorrow possibly). she has a rough idea but i think i better just prewarn her again.

tc - great to hear from you!!! you're sounding really upbeat and well...way to go!!

haylie and lara - thanks, i really really hope we can start. i know it would only be another month but that would seem like another year!! haylie - have you had your phone call yet?? lara - how are you doing symptoms wise??

aunty - thanks...i'm so excited...i just cant wait. i've been quite patient (i think anyway) these last 4 months and now its 1 day away i cant wait!! haha...hope you're ok
