Hello ladies hope everyone is ok and having a nice weekend.
SHANTALA hi honey hope your ok you must be so excited , the 17th would be much better for me i just don't want to chance anything and it would be lovely to talk to someone going through the same.
I hope this is ok with you other girls.
MANDEEQ im having FET next week and i haven't started progesterone im not doing a natural cycle they have had to start and control mine i belive if you get a BFP you carry on taking them for about 12 weeks i think.

Hi girls..i can't believe it AF has arrived!!! I was beginning to get worried that it wouldn't arrive and then all my treatment would be postponed...stupid i know! Actually i don't know if it was the fact that i had acupuncture today or if it was that i was eating soy beans....funnily my MIL was talking about eating them as they are low in fat and she is going through her menopause and thinks it might be helping her AF arrive...i had a few...well quite alot actually and low and behold two hours later AF has showed it's first signs...can you believe it!! Anyway not sure why i'm telling you all this i'm just thrilled it's arrived! so all being well i hope i will be stimming from tuesday!!!

Nicky..i'm not sure about your schedule...i would have gone with your calculations also..i am on syneral right now and am on it for two weeks and then supposed to start stimming..but i also sniff while stimming until it's time to take the trigger shot...so uncertain why..sorry that's not very helpful...maybe check again with the doc.

Nimble...wow, i hope you've had a fab time..you're prob watching your friends enjoy their cocktails right now..talk about celebrating in style!!!

Shantala...time is coming up soon for the trigger shot...i sense your feeling nervous...yes it's all about to happen and it's going to be great....praying for a BFP!!!

Mrs B...read on this site that pomegranite juice and raspberry tea is good for thickinening the lining...hope that helps. Unfortunately i won't beable to do 17th as it's my sister's birthday...but i could maybe do sun 18th?

Sonya..pleased to hear you have your schedule...exciting times ahead! BTW you're going nowhere...

Anna..great that everything is on track esp with all the worries you had earlier in the cycle....i'm hoping to be right behind you as AF has now arrived!

Vicky...hello hello and welcome back...i so relate to what you say about keeping away just from the mountains of pages you have to get through first..things move fast here! Like your win win philosophy!

Mandeeq...sorry don't know much about progesterone...all the best with the clinic on thurs!

Kandice...hope your feeling ok and not too icky...how did it go?

Ok i'm just so hungry going to have fish and chips!...even though it is nearly midnight!

Goodnight

Nerms

[shantala]

nerms - your post nearly made my cry...thats exactly how i'm feeling right this minute...trigger shot in 10 mins!! anyway, thank you so much for thinking of me (and nicky!!!)...i was going to suggest the 18th but i then realised its mother day on that day...so didnt think people wanted to meet up but i would be ok to meet on that day. if people rather didnt then we can always meet on the 11th and i will meet with mrsb on the 17th as well...what do you think??

xx

[nerms]

hey shantala...really wierd how i can sense what your feeling!!! I wish you really the very best....praying everything works out perfectly...2 mins to go! I can do 18th..so i don't mind going with the flow.

xx

[shantala]

hey nerms - it really is weird how you can!! anyway, thought i would better update you to say it all went well. stung a bit but that was it. phew, i'm so relieved!!! ok, i'm up for the 18th (or the 11th)....nimble??

off to bed now...ive been so worried about the trigger shot so i'm sure i'll sleep well tonight!! nite nite!!

Smattison: I know isnt it funny that weare taking medication to prevent getting pg? So strange! I have problems with the pills they bother my stomach.

Anna: Congrats on the AF!! How cool is it that you are stimming!

nerms: Woo hooo AF is here! What is your protocol! We should be pretty close together on our IVF cycle!

Kandice: How are you feeling sweety? I hope they got tons of embies!

Kia: I agree with your dh. Best to stay away from the knives! And this way you get to eat out! Hope you had a nice romantic evening.

Shantala: I cant believe E/C is on monday! How are you doing? I hope they get a ton of embies!!!!!!! Take care and have fun with the big shot!!

Mrs B.: I hope that you are feeling better. I hope the lining thickens and you stay on track!!

Vicky: Woo hoo you go girl! I bet hubby has a smile on his face huh? I hope you get a BFP! And you did it the fun way!

Nicola: Sorry that this protocol is soo confusing! I dont know enough to answer your question. I hope it will become more clear.How is the sniffing going?
Thats right I started in March so Im staying!!!!!!

Hi ladies, just a quick post for now will post again later, its all rush, rush here, had a few unexpected guest yesterday, my SIL and children have come over from germany for a few days so not had 2 mins to myself.

Kandice-- hope the EC went well thinking of you
