Hi Ladies,
How are you ladies doing? Hope you all have a good and relaxing weekend. Today is my 3rd day stimming, so far I'm coping ok with my meds except last night. I have major headache I don't know if its from meds or from being on the sun for almost whole day. My company did a volunteer work yesterday for the "Habitat for humanity" we helped building the houses for the low income couples. It was a lot of funned and hard work. Anyway when I came home I have major headache and I totally forgot to take my follistim out from our ref 30 minutes before I'm ready to use it. I took it out 10 minutes before I used it, around 7 PM last night when I injected my follistim it was painful and this morning I have a big bruised on my tummy, I guessed it was still cold when I injected it last night. This morning everything went well.
cookholmes - Your ET story was so funny it sure makes me LOL. WOW your from Sacramento I have friends that lives in Rooseville Sacramento I live in Martinez. Were going to Reproductive Science Center of the SF Bay Area in their San Ramon office, I'm seeing doctor Weckstein. Who are you going there in Sacramento?
Sonya - Goodluck on that 4 shots. I've checked your myspace site, nice site and really good pictures.
Nimble - CONGRATS on the trigger.. goodluck on your EC tomorrow.
Shantala - Going away to Egypt on May is pretty good idea, ENJOY...

Rae sounds like you have an action packed couple of days coming up. We just been round to some friends who were in Vegas last week and were telling us how fab it was - now I want to go!!
Stephanie - oh thats so sweet of your DH, I know that mines been supportive, but think Ice Cream making is pushing it! The crap feeling will pass, have to be honest apart from the first few days, I have felt fantastic through the stims, even looked better than I did last cycle. I had Delsey bags under my eyes through out the whole cycle!!
Nicky it sounds like you were suitabably pampered to - never been to cambridge but have to Oxford so guess very similiar being that they are the big university towns. Did you manage to relax and forget about IVF for a while??
I can't believe you've been d/reg for so long - I was thinking about it earlier and it seems like an age - however not long to go, roll on tues.
I was only effected by the time change in that I had to take my trigger at a given time, but they had to work it out taking into account the clocks going fwd.
In yr trigger packs, there is a powder of pregnl (5000iu) and a small bottle of water. You mix one powder with the water and then mix that then with the second powder ie 2 x powder 1 x water (10000iu in total)- your clinic will talk you through it but if not give me a shout when the time comes. But the time you get to trigger, you will be an old hand at injections, seriously. Oh and give that DH of yrs a boot - England playing tut, where is his priorities
Hows the cat btw - what caused it to be so sick??
Marcia - thank you for the tip on Arnica, unfort I just have paracetomal which is ok to take, but shall reminder yr tip for future.
How are you feeling?
Anie - thats sounds really fantastic the work you do, there is a programme on here about where they go and build houses or renovate houses of people who are suffering or have done something remarkable - a US prog and for the life of me can't remember what it is called, but I always cry at the end, when the family sees their new house.
i had really bad headaches for the first couple of days, but they soon went so hopefully yours won't stick around for too long.
Good luck to my fellow EC'ers tomorrow.
Yarnista/Anna - everything crossed for you tomorrow.

Good morning ladies,
I couldn't believe all the wonderful messages of support. Thank you all so much.
I am going to try and and catch up on where you all are on your cycle. Sending love and baby dust to you all. Love all your special effects on your postings haven't got a clue how you even send a Personal Message yet let alone all the cool pictures.
Sonya, thank you very much. Need it keep getting panicy then worrying panic will hurt tthe emmies.
Coohholmes, thank you for the welcome xxx
Anie, Good luck with your stimming. Hope the headache was a one off.
Vicky, Shantala, Nerms, Nimble, Rae, Marcial, Smathson - Sorry I wanted to send you all peronal replys but i can work out how to get back to the relevent pages of text.
Someone asked me what our situation is, so here goes.
We live in the uk. We started trying the month we got married June 03. I come from a very fertile family and was worried when it didn't happen quickly. Also I had been having a prob with unexplaned spotting for about five years at that time.
So I went for tests and four years later here we are. We have had 3 unsuccessful rounds of IUI on the NHS and this is now my one big chance of IVF. It's gone ok except I was under stimulated for quite a while but they eventually manged to get 6 egg 5 of which fertilised and 2 of which were put back on 17th March. They were grade 3 and a half out of 4. 4 being the best as my clinic. None of the other eggs could be froozen.
Suppose to wait till Saturday to do HPT but it's driving me insane. Is it worth doing it a few days early? Not sure what to do.
Love to you all, will wirite again soon xxxxx
