Hi Nicki

less than 6 weeks until my due date, scary but very exciting! Im fine, very glad to have left work now as it feels as if I am carrying a baby Elephant around at the moment :lol:

Hope you get your bloods back in time. Thats great that they have found an egg sharer for you. However she is she is very lucky to have someone like you that is able to share their eggs. Did work improve by the end of the week?

Jen sorry to hear about the flu - poor you. Hugs honey. Glad you are resting up - hope Adam is home to take care of you. Can't wait to hear about the hen night when you are feeling better. xxx

Julie glad to hear you are making the most of your last few sin and guilt free weekends - that's what I would do to!

Nicki - fab that they have found recipient. Just think how excited she will be to learn that news. You have truly made a difference to someone's life, well done honey

Gail good to hear you are well. Hope you are resting up.

Kate,Lucy, Souris a big hi to you all xxx

Not much to report here, I got a phone call from my friend's phone today from a policeman (got the fright of my life) to ask me to come over to my firend's house. Her husband had gone missing in the hills whilst climbing up North last night ansd there was a massive search and rescue under way. Luckily he was found safe and well so spent most of the afternoon with my friend calming her down. Watching a dvd tonight with dh ad cosying up on the couch.

Julie I have been telling some close friends but don't want to tempt fate by telling everyone but I swear one of my friends kept looking at my belly last night when she was drunk. Was funny being the sober one!

Bye for now xxx

Nicki,
FSH is best tested on day3 though, each clinic may have its own protocol.
It basically is done on day2 or day 3 as everything is new in there and it'll tell you how much hormones are being produced by your body and whether you'll need a specific protocol to follow.Normally high FSH levels would indicate a higher dosage of drugs.
Lh and FSH go together so.. and well about estrodiol,i'm not sure as i dont know what that does..
you go girl.. hope everything is perfect this year.
love,
smita

Hey girls,

Jen - how are you? Getting flu is such a pain in the backside, hope you get better soon x

Julie - how's your boiler? Bet you're glad to have some heating?!! Although like you said it has its upside in not having to do any cooking or housework...perhaps I can get mine to break down?

Nickie - don't the number of blood tests just get confusing? I'm sure it won't make any difference to your IVF, they just want to check everything is ok. How exciting that your tmt is going to start so soon!

Gail - where has the time gone, I can't believe you only have 6wks left!! I bet it seems like forever though, especially if you are carrying a baby elephant!!

Lisa - what a scare for your friend. At least it all ended well though and he was found safe. You see girlie nights out in a completely different light don't you when you are sober? It can be so entertaining and there is no hangover in the morning!!

Lucy, Souris - hope you guys are all ok?

As for me, its the big day tomorrow. I am quite excited actually and still feeling quite positive. I've arranged to have accupuncture before and after my ET, although the nurse I spoke to about arranging times to come in was a bit funny about it. At my clinic they like to come in an hour and a half before the actual transfer ( no idea why its so long before!). So i phoned up to find out what the latest time I could arrive was, explaining that I live an hour away and she just said to me that I had to get there exactly one hour before and that was that! She was quite stroppy about it! Would it really matter that much if I arrive 50mins before instead of 60mins? What would they do, cancel the ET?!! I just couldn't believe how unhelpful she was, oh well her problem not mine!!

Anyway, girls all being well I will be on the dreaded 2WW as from tomorrow and I doubt if I will log on for a few days, am going to sit on the sofa and do nothing!!!

catch you later
