wow lots of good news. lots of PMA to everyone. Waiting (a little impatiently) for AF to happen. Hopefully tomorrow before the scan. That was the plan. If not then it will all have to be put back :(

I like to say I'm so glad I found you guys. I felt quite scared before facing all this. I feel I've learned a lot.

Hi again.

Elle....8 is wonderful. All the best people get 8 you know :wink: :wink: You and Delly need to now and prepare for ET, which is a cinch in comparison. Delly, your comment about a sandwich reminded me that the best bit after my EC was getting some homemade apple cake with a cup of tea (one the staff bakes them each time there is an EC, they are a tiny clinic so an average of 1-5 ECs a week).

Michelle. Glad your scan went well. It will all start to happen now and before you know it, whoops, you're pregnant!

Susie + Kerry..it's amazing how AF never shows when she's wanted :x Can't remember who last month was late and worried about her apt. but it all worked out - albeit at the last minute.

Leigh - it's nice to know there are people out there in the ether who care and understand isn't it?

Heather are you OK? How did your HCG shot go? I read your message to Bel and you sounded worried about ovulating. What's happening now?

hugs all round

Hello!

Debra- Thanks. You always make me feel better. Now I'm afraid none of my eggs will fertilize at all. I'll keep you posted. Are you still having sharp pains on your side? Hope you're feeling better.

Delly- How are you feeling? I feel kinda sore when I walk around. The nurse advised me to just have soup when I get home because she warned me that most of her patients get nauseated. Do you think I followed that? No way, I had a full meal. heeheehee :D

missmolly- I'm so happy to hear that 7 out of your 9 eggs have fertilized. Wishing you luck on your ET tomorrow.

KLK- wow 23 eggs!!! You and Delly made so many eggs! Wishing they all fertilize well.

michelle_in_scotland- glad to hear your progressing well. that's funny, i had experienced the same thing, that is forgetting to ask how many and how big are my follies, etc. Hope you get an EC date on Fri.

LittleP- Thanks for all the PMA. I really need it. I should know by tomorrow how many eggs were fertilized. Dh & I are relieved EC is over. Now we're nervous that none of 'em will fertilized.

All the best to everyone here! :D

Cyberhugs to all!

Traci and Debra - hope the 2 ww is going well - not long now, hope you guys are chillin too.

Mega congrats to Sand - I've never seen such a comprehensive post - I think you got everyone in there. I read through all the stuff but must apologise to anyone I miss, it doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you or wishing you the best, it just means my memory is poo! :oops: & I can't make notes at work otherwise the boss will think I'm mad!

I so look forward to hearing everyones progress each day, its really exciting to hear how all are doing. Happy thoughts in this grey and miserable weather.

Hi everyone. Had ET done today. The actual procedure was great. The staff made me & DH feel very comfortable & special. All of the doctors were very impressed with the size of my large, full bladder (they said they had never seen one so full!!!). They had a very clear ultrasound, which made the transfer go very smoothly. I had some troubles last night & this morning with abdo bloating (v.bad), nausea & diarrhoea (sorry if too much information! :oops: ). As soon as we were having the ET, I started to feel really good. DH felt very emotional during - very sweet! We spent the rest of the day having lunch & watching 'Sex and the City' DVD's.
After reading the posts for the last couple of days it seems as though there is a lot of PMA & baby dust in the air!

Good luck to everyone!

Good Heavens! This is a busy place. Congrats to all the ECers....what a fantastic result for all of you.

MissMolly, glad to hear you are feeling better and that everything went well. Wow, great lining and the fullest bladder....I think you deserve some kind of trophy (not sure that you would want to display that anywhere tho, might take a bit of explaining!)

Debra, your job sounds great and it is wonderful that you enjoy it so much. My DH is an IT applications trainer...does a lot of free training for community groups, etc and balances that with training for large mining firms (with tonnes of money). He loves training also. Are you getting some rest, gotta break that sofa in. I hope your twinge is a good twinge!

Traci, hope you are also getting some rest. and that your embie is comfortable. When do you make the big move to Vienna?

I am booked for EC tomorrow morning at 8.30am (have to get to the hospital at 6.30....eek!) I am not feeling confident, but will wait and see. I have a wretched assignment to finish tonight as it needs to be postmarked tomorrow or I will lose marks...really bad timing as at this point in time I do not give a hoot about Australian broadcasting content regulation (not even sure that I ever did!)

Hope everyone is well and that everyone's treatments are progressing as they had hoped.

Best wishes

That is absolutely fantastic news.

Now get some R&R and look after yourself - Saturday is a big day for you and I wish you all the best and tons and tons of PMA.

Miss Molly

What a star - I hope that you are feeling ok now and not so bloated :shock:

Look after yourself and remember we're here for you when you need a shoulder of support or words of encouragement. :wink:

What a busy thread! I've missed so much that's been going on with you all. Feeling more up to date now, but one line in these last two pages has me bewildered.
Molly, did you say that after ET you and your HUBBY watched Sex and the City??? :shock:
Was he drunk? I love my husband, but I would kill for a man who would watch Sex and the City with me! :wink:
sorry, just had to stop for a second and pay hommage to your fabulous husband! Be good to him, you've got a good one :lol:

So happy for everyone's success! And very moved by how you all face every set back/challenge with courage and determination! You are inspiring! :D

I hear ya Randa!....I LOVE SaTC but DF thinks it papp. I gaze at the shoes and remind myself of my old life.....sigh.

Delly. 19!!!!!!!! superb! welld done. Lots of rest now before ET. I'll pop you on the test date thread and if it's not 30th, just yell.

Heather - best of luck tomorrow with EC. PMA please!

MissMolly. Glad everything went well. Let me know asap your definite test date if not 27th.

Today was really, really busy and right in the middle of the day I was hit by a HUGE wave of emotion. Luckily I was driving and alone but was crying thinking of how lucky I am to have people to love and who love me. Not idea where it all came from but hope it was a hormone rush from those wee embies.

Hope everyone is well.
hugs
Debra
