Welcome Steph...good to see you here!!!! Welcome also to Bridget Jones and Nimble..this is a great thread and Nicky does a fab job with the list..lets hope we all get BFP's together hey!!

Happy Weekend to all of you...Nicky you going away anywhere nice?

Rae-all the best with your HCG tomorrow-i hope it goes up...it does take up to 72hrs from what i've read....so lets keep everything crossed...was saddened to hear that you had a cry...still it's good sometimes to vent...better out than in!

Shantala...where are you? Hoping sniffing is going ok!

Today I went to clinic to go have my day 3 bloods-hormone profile, and apparently my file was with the nurses being prepared..how exciting a thought was that! I'm getting really excited about starting now..it only takes something small to get me going. I should get my exact schedule dates on 14th Feb..how romantic!!!..(ok maybe not )

Ok girlies just had a nice relaxing massage and about to order take away to have a good friday night in!

Thinking of you Vicky and Anna...hope AF shows up this weekend!

hi there nicky could you add my birthday 13th feb to fun stuff i hope you had a better week at work this week my office manager is putting pressure on me to tell the powers that be about my ivf they are not very sympathetic

[annag]

TGIF!!!

Hey everyone!
Welcome Steph! Good to see you here too! Hi Bridget Jones!-love that movie!

Rae, I'm so sorry you had a scare today! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Good luck on your bld work tomorrow. I'm sure everything will be ok. Stay positive!

Nerms, I'm just a couple days behind you. I started full flow (tmi!) today so I'm getting my 3rd day blds/hormone profile on Sunday 2/4 then I guess I'll be down-regging with Lupron on 2/21. I'm also scheduled for a saline sonogram on the 11th. What is that test for, anyone?

Wow, I can't believe it's here. Everyone seems to be getting in on the cycle now. This will be a productive year for us girls!!! Lots of babies on the way!

Vicky, has Af showed up yet? I hope your hcg level gets to 0 so you can start with the cycle!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Welcome Bridget Jones!!, I don't know much about the NK test, but you could ask the doctors at www.sirm.com, that is a cool site where IVF doctors actually answer questions.....Hope your totsicles have a nice and safe trip!!!

Nicky, enjoy your out of town weekend!!

I had the answer from my clinic, my HCG dropped to 5.2, and since they want it below 5, they want me to go back next week for a repeat bw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, WTF, they are nuts or what!, it is just a 0.2 difference!!...oh well, enough rant, I guess I have to do what they say and be a good girl.....
No AF so far...........

[nerms]

Hi Vicky!! 0.2 difference...how annoying!!!!!!!!! Hang in there...one more week and hopefully you'll be there! Lots of PMA ok!

Anna-glad to hear you're there...hoooooooray! How exciting only being one or two days away from each other...can you believe it's all really happening! What is a saline sonogram anyway?

Hi to all the other lovely ladies...Rae-let us know how you get on!

Anna, sorry I didn't see your question about the saline US before. The saline US is a scan where they inject a solution in your uterus that allows them to see the inside so they can see if it is clear. Similar to the HSG but instead of being done with x-rays it is done with an ultrasound. I am having it too once I start my BCP's........who knows when at this pace....

[mandeeq]

Hey Ladies

I would like to join if that ok

I am also having FET in March after cancel cycle on October 2005. 14 embryos were frozen at this time because the endometrial remained extremely thin at 2. 3mm. They cancelled ET transferred.

After long investigation they found Intrauterine Adhesion tissue. They put me same treatment for 2 months after that I had Hysteroscopy plus Laparoscopy to remove these Adhesions tissue, the operation wanted well and I am feeling well.

It was very hard trying to get over now and getting ready for my FET

They are going to plan in March to do FET cycle with natural. I am taking now Estradiol Patches 200mg for up to 2 months to improve my lining.

Good Lucky

Thanks

[vicky77]

Welcome Mandeeq!!!, I am glad you are almost there for your FET!, it must have been very hard to have the Oct one postponed, you know that we don't like waiting, we all here have been waiting too long for our babies already, so any more waiting just drives us crazy....but we are almost there, March is almost here!!!
Hope your lining grows nicely this time

[nicolamark]

Hi everyone!!! Just home from w-end, I am whacked!!! so will post this and then put PJ's on and chill, and get to bed early!!!
We went to London, it was good.....

Anna, great news that the ball is rolling for you.......

Vicky, thats a bugger about the hcg not being down yet, will that delay u for March then???


Mandeeq, Welcome to this thread, 14 embies is great, good luck with FET...

Love to ya all.....

Hi

Vicky77 & Nicolamark, Thanks for warm Welcome.

Good Luck and Best wishes May all our Drams Come True.

Many Thanks

[annag]

Can't believe Monday is here again!!!!

Hi everyone!

Welcome Mandeeq! Good luck with the FET. 14 embies are great! Are they doing a 3day or 5day transfer? I'm not familiar with the frozen cycle so I really don't know if that's similar to the fresh one. I hope I'll be lucky enough to freeze some!

Nicky, I've always wanted to go to London. Your weekend sounds lovely. Hope work won't be too stressful this week.

Vicky, thanks for the info on saline sonogram. I thought my RE already took out polyps during a hysteroscopy in 9/06 but I guess those buggers can grow again??? I hope I don't need another surgery

I had a nice day today. Started out getting my FSH level drawn. I'll be starting my bcp's tonight too. Yahooo!!!! Then I spent the whole day with a pregnant girlfriend. Had a nice lunch and saw the movie "Because I said so" with Mandy Moore. It's a feel-good chick flick and hope I got some pregnant vibe from my preggy girlfriend.

Anyway, where is everyone this weekend? Well, have a nice week to all!
Anna

Hi ladies, my career is very demanding and I work about 50 hours per week, so I don't get to read your posts as often as I'd like, but I'm wishing everyone lots of luck.
Friday was CD2, so I went to lab for the following blood tests: FSH and Estradiol...clinic scheduled an HSG for the 12th and an appt. for injection class on the 21st, so I need to purchase meds now...my birthday is on the 24th and I've just been offered a new job! Wow!

[karma_k]

Looks like we both had our blood drawn yesterday. Wasn't it exciting?
Are you purchasing your meds through mail order? I'm looking at Pharmacare; my friend suggests I buy them at a local pharmacy because the pharmacist will spend time explaining everything...she has a point.
I need to begin doxycycline before my HSG, but so far that's all I need to take at this time.
