Hello everybody Thank god for this website. Don't feel quite so lonely now I can have a good rant here with people who understand. Done my first cycle of IVF - didn't work first time and off to the hospital for a scan today in anticipation of putting two more "frosties" back in. Pretty excited but also anxious. Would love to hear from anybody about anything!!! Will catch up on reading all your messages so I can get a grip as to who is doing what. Good luck y'all. Mel x

Hello..I am a new girl too. I am so glad that I have found this website too!! I no longer feel so lonely and scared about the whole thing. I am on day 8 now of the down regulation and due to start the stimulation in a week and a bit and have e/c around the 11 November. This is our first time at IVF/ICSI so we are excited (too much so I am worried I am forgetting to be realistic about the chances!) Would love to hear your stories...both good and bad.. Good luck Becky B

Hi, I am new too. On day 10 of down reg and start injections to stimulate on Monday. Seems we are all about the same. At the moment feel incredibly bloated, but feel fine otherwise. Does anyone else feel the same ?

Hi there, thanks for your replies. Hi Beck, I'm actually Melissa but couldn't log on as that name. Wishing you all the luck for your et, the hospital said on Friday that I should go back next Monday for another scan and should do my et on the following Friday. Probably just as you are finding out about yours (fingers crossed)! Are you working or at home? I worked the last time so I this time I am going down to Somerset to be away from London temptations. How are you feeling? Thinking of you Melissa x P.S. Are you keeping to a certain diet, the hospital haven't said anything about it?

Hi Becks Like your prompt responses!! First time round I did the down reg and ec then et. This didn't work for me so this time round they are using my frozen embryos and tracking my normal cycle. They will put in the embryos when I am showing the right amount of hormones (ie. ovulation time). I have nine frosties in the freezer so hopefully another four goes. How are you feeling after all the injections etc - I hope you are okay - only nine more days to go - you can do it! Lol Mel xx
