Hello All 
Just popping in to see how everyone is and how youare progressing. Jen, so sorry about AF - what can I say, she's a b**** when she wants to be.
Susan, how are you feeling now???? Any better?
SQUEW - Yes, I'm at the Lister - and my consultant is Raef Faris - he is a godsend and an absolute star
I cannot ask for a better consultant and I know that I wouldn't want anyone else so I am more than happy with the advice they have given so far - just a pain to have to start all over again 
To all you other MCB's I am keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you girls .........
Love
Nickie

Hi there
Hi there, I was wondering if I could join you guys? I'm also a March cycle.
Me: TTC#1 30 months (haven't been so much as a day late so far), 3 x failed IUI, this is my first attempt at IVF. Not much in the way of a DX - a bit of mild (stage 1) endo picked up at lap, about 12 months ago, DH (thankfully) just fine. So, who knows, basically.
I'm already alot of the way through, tomorrow is my EC - about 13 follicles they think.
So pretty shortly I'm heading into the 2ww - I guess I could use some others around who I know understand.
If that's OK.
Jaye.

I have never posted to one of these boards before - I've followed so many threads on so many boards over the past few years - always thinking, 'that won't be me, I'll be lucky next time, no way will I have to go through IVF...', and then eventually, you count up the months and realise it is you, and if you want to have your dream realised, you don't really have much choice. Even then, it's taken me a while to get up the courage to post. I guess I'm amazed at how supportive people can be when they are also in such need of support themselves. But if we don't know what each are going through, I guess who does.
And you realise that you really do wish everyone else well, and really do hope it works out for them. and you're right - you really do need the support yourself.
My EC seemed to go OK - I had 11 little eggs, 8 of which looked great and 3 so-so. I've taken my first bit of advice and drunk lots of water. I think it did help - although poor DH had to cope with me fainting on him the first time I visited the loo after getting home. Have been on the couch watching Hugh Grant movies all day, which has helped.
Getting some cramping, but have been told that's normal?
Thanks for having me. Wishing you all so much luck.
Jaye.

Hi there, hope you're all well.
Jen, so sorry to hear AF arrived - sending big hugs your way.
Annie, I'm glad you managed to persuade them to freeze some in the end. I have never had enough to freeze - we always seem to end up with 2 spare and my clinic only freeze 3!! Maybe I will try and be a bit more persuasive next time!!
Jaye, welcome to the board. Dagny, is right - the girls on this board are a fantastic support - you'll be glad you finally posted.
Well, I am STILL WAITING FOR MY BLOOD TEST RESULTS! I am trying to stay calm - but the buserelin is making me feel so poo - and I just want to move on to the next stage. How can it take a week to get results back. I suggested that maybe it might be a good idea if I came in for another scan to check if everything is now shut down as the blood test system doesn't seem to be that efficient and they didn't seem keen. If I havn't heard by the end of today I am going to insist they scan me tomorrow.
Talk to you all later.
Dolly

Dear Dolly,
My clinics minimum number for freezing is two?! and I thought they were being too tight even then. I am still undecided however if its a good idea to go against their advice, maybe going for as many fresh goes is the best policy?? only freezing where the FETs have the best possible odds?.If your two meet their freezing criteria (grade wise) then why cant they be saved and put with future frosties if necessary so that the number thawed will be statistically better (ie 3 or more)? I suppose once it works for us ...PMA... then these sort of quandries will be a distant memory. Good luck with scan /blood test
Hello and good luck to all the other MCBs
Jaye, that seems like a great result so far to me
love Annie

bronagh i would be going mad sniffing for that long in fact I would of proberly killed my dh. hope they get you of that soon.
dolly are you injesting yet.
hi sarah how are you doing.
well hope I have not missed anyone.
I have really bad af pains so do not hold out much hope but at least I can start again next month. I have cycled with quite as few of the acb in the past.
my friend has just phoned me and she had her scan today she is 12 weeks pg. I'm really happy for her but feel so jealous. I have not told anyone apart from my sister that i'm having tmt.
oh well will have to just get over it....
speak soon

been in tmt for 4 years.Male factor. Have had 3 icsi, one ivf with donor sperm.Went for fet with 7 eggs but none made it to blastocyst. just had 5 DI. test date 27 july
still sniffing
yes julie ann its a long time to sniff 27 more days to go, but have not murdered anyone yet.... it is strange when other peole announce their pregnancys, |I am genuinely happy for them, what hurts more is that people do not think my DH and I want children...........but anyway life goes on.

Hope everyone else is stress free or is that too much to ask???????????????????????

Well out of 11 eggs, only 4 fertilised. i guess not as many as we'd hoped, but as we all know, it only takes one. at least they call every day to let me know how my little ones are getting on. that's kind of nice - I kind of feel attached to them already! My clinic does 5 day transfers, so they've got a ways to go yet.
my horoscope this month reminded me that 'life is a marathon, not a sprint', which is probably good advice. (does anyone else obsessively follow those things???)
some days i find dealing with other people's pregnancies OK, some days it's all i can do to keep myself from being outright rude. comments like 'you're so lucky you don't have kids, you can go on holidays whenever you want (or whatever)' I think are particuarly unhelpful when you don't feel very lucky. but maybe it's unrealistic to expect people to think when you're deliberately not telling anyone (like we've chosen).
good luck to everyone.

Hello all,
Still going loopy on the 2 week wait! I promised I wouldnt take any notice of my body but I still keep trying to second guess the symptoms which today are bloody non existant.
Jaye your clinic sounds really nice good luck for your transfer, the odds are better arent they if theyve been left to divide for longer?
Bronagh, Im definatelty at least a part time member of the stressed out brigade and Ive nothing really to obsess about til test day (13th). I hope your feeling calmer yourself.
Good luck to all us MCBs
love Annie

Hi everyone,
Do you believe it - I am still waiting for my blood test results. But the good news is that I have talked them into scanning me again tomorrow - so hopefully things will be shut down and I can finally move on to the injections. I feel as if my head will explode if I have to sniff for much longer. Plus I am starting to get a bit grouchy.....
I am going for a facial tonight afterwork - can't wait thought I would pamper myself.
Hope you're all well
Dolly
