Thanks BigJ.

When I hit 34 I suddenly realised I knew best and didn't have to take cr*p from anyone! That all the years leading up to that point had been prep and suddenly I was there! I was very newly single after 13 years, moved to Sydney with work, had the year of my life and felt like I had the world at my feet. Something every woman should feel at least once in her life. It was a great year and a real turning point. I worked with other 34yr olds who said exactly the same thing. I feel 40+ is just like that with bells + whistles....

Suz ... You've done really well with 15 eggs, and 11 fertilised is a good percentage.

I hope you got plenty of rest yesterday, and that ET goes nice and smoothly today. Give us an update when you can.

Hi Suz

welcome to the www thread :wink: wow loads of eggs, well done you, follie fairy was on the case then :lol: hope ET went well, do let us know (or have you posted elsewhere and I missed it???). Not many of us around at the moment so do keep popping in here!!!


Sharon, I read your post on your own thread and admire your and dh's wisdom. I too am asking myself how many goes I can survive. I am worried that this has dominated our lives for so long (very long story but about 12 years too), that we wont get to enjoy our prime years. We have delayed so many "getting on with it" decisions....I feel for you both.

Randa where R U???? R U OK????

Hi Girls,
I've been out of reach of the internet for a while (travel).
Don't worry about me though, I'm still here! No new stuff for me. Will start stimming on May 23.

BigJ - patches giving you some issues it seems. So sorry. Hang in there, you know it's for a good cause!

Debra - how are you? Like Little P said, I hope we didn't say something to push you away. ?

Alette! Wonderful to hear from you! You sound very pregnant :D

Suz - Welcome aboard! Excellent job on the EC and fertilization!!!

Sharon - glad you are still with us as well. I need to read up on your recent posts I think.

Sandra and Little P - you're too young, but also too wise. Thanks for always looking in on us WWWs!

Hi Randa .. Good to hear you're okay. I don't remember the last time I was called either young or wise !! Don't feel either at the moment - certainly not young, and scatty as hell ..!

It's only a couple of weeks 'til you start your stimming. Hoorah !! I hope it comes around quickly for you.

Hi to all

BigJ we are all here watching your progress and keeping your place warm on the 'other side'.

I have my 1st midwife visit tomorrow and I have a list of questions a long as your arm - can I have my legs waxed is the number one question!

Hopefully to make you feel better, I still have sore boobs, experience AF cramping (especially during the night) and get PMTish with DH - this has been going on for 9 weeks - OMG it is going to be a looooooong 9 months!

Keep up with the meds - its all for a good cause.
