Just a quick update on ET before I go back to putting my feet up. Of our 15 eggs, all were suitable to be ICSI'd and 8 fertilised, which was less than I thought and made me glad we went for ICSI. 1 was a right off straightaway, leaving 7.
They got 3 really good ones - they have an A - E grading and we got 2 ABs and one AB/B - and all of those have gone back in. Of the other 4, 2 are grade B and 2 are grade C/D. I won't know til tomorrow whether there'll be anything to freeze as they don't like to freeze anything below AB, so I'd need them to buck up a bit overnight. Some of them improved between this morning and our appointment this afternoon, so maybe there's hope. I'd really like to have something left over but I also don't want to give ourselves false hope.
Anyway, I should concentrate on this round. We've got 3 really good ones nestled in there and that's the best outcome I could have hoped for at this stage.
Lumi and Sammy, hope it all went smoothly for you - I was surprised how emotional I found it.
Nicki and Leanne, thanks for your good wishes. Hi to everyone else.

Here's hoping a restful 2ww for us all
God Bless our embies,

Morning Everyone!
Here's my update....
Thing's aren't looking good for us. Had a scan yesterday and I've got two at 13 mm and 8 mm on the left plus one at 12 mm on the right and two at 8 mm. They have upped the Menopur to 6 amps - I think that's the maximum isn't it? We go back tomorrow. I started the Cetrotide this morning. They haven't mentioned cancelling yet, although I got a bit upset with the results yesterday. I really, really don't want to cancel. I want to see my part through to the end at least. As you can imagine I'm feeling pretty despondent though.... My worry is that it doesn't bode well for future treatments if I can't produce any eggs. I don't understand why, though. My FSH was only 3.3 when it was checked a couple of months ago. My normal cycle is pretty long about 32 days, and I know from when we were trying naturally (not that we ever stopped!!) that I don't ovulate unril about day 19, so maybe I'm just slow....? Should the Menopur make me ovulate more quickly or is it just to produce more eggs?
I'm not bothered about getting any to freeze or anything, I just want to have enough so that we can go for EC and see what happens from there. I'm not sure I can bear to fall at the first hurdle. All I want is a CHANCE, is that too much to ask? DH says we have to remain positive, but I'm finding that really hard. I just feel stupid for ever having got my hopes up (however much I tried not to) when I knew all along that this wasn't meant to be for me. There must be another plan for me out there, but I'll be damned if I know what it is....
Sorry to sound so pessimistic and sorry for myself, but this is the only place I can let my real feelings be known.
Great news on ET, Caroline and Sammy. Wishing you loads of luck for the 2WW!
Lumi - Hope you have had ET by now and are doing OK....
Hope everyone else is doing OK....

Hi Faith - it sounds to me that your results are good!!! Seriously it is not the quantity but the quality. I had 5 follies on scan day and then 1 developed prior to EC...unfortunately I lost 3 eggs to ovulating prior to EC and 2 were overripe. My clinic doesn't like to work with anything over 10-12 follies. Keep your hope and faith and continue to think positive. I know it is not easy..after my fist scan with the result of 5, I had to go back to work and could not hold back the tears...kept going to the WC to cry 
IVF is a rollercoaster ride - but it only takes one little guy and you are well on your way
Remember what those follies need know is PMA and warmth.

Hi Everyone
It seems ages since I last wrote, I have read the posts since I was away. DH has gone back overseas to work, so I went to stay with my Parents for a few days that turned into 6! Back home now, I can't believe that it was a week ago that I had ET. It has gone really quickly this time, I bet the next 4 days till Tuesday's test will now drag!
I also don't understand why I am testing earlier that others who had ET on the say day, but never mind all clinics must work differently.
Keep all your chins up and lots of PMA.
Anne xx

Faith, I'm sorry you're so despondent. I don't have any idea about the technical details but the clinic aren't talking about cancelling so that has to be a good thing. Not knowing is just awful isn't it.
Anne I'm glad you had a good break - hope your parents spoilt you a bit. Can't believe you get to test so early, how exciting.
I test on the 14th July and completely counter to everyone else, I have to use a HPT! The clinic insists if accurate if I hang on til the end of the 2ww so I have to go with that.
My bit of good news is that both our grade B embies perked up overnight and reached the criteria for freezing, so I've got 2 good frosties as well. I am so damn lucky at the moment. P'raps I should I buy a lottery ticket!
Hi to everyone else. Back to bed for me

Hi all
Yes I am resting - feet are UP!!!!
I was so pleased to have all 4 frosties survive. They have put back the best 2 - both 'text book'quality (one 2 cell, one 4 cell). Last time they were average, so this has done loads for my PMA
Sammy and Caroline, isn't it a relief to get to this stage??!! Phew......
Take care wahtever stage you are at and keep up the PMA. I mustn't post too much, supposed to in bed. DH started reading Zita West (bit late, I know) and he has picked up on the rest bit (very astute, isnt he!?)
Keeps calling to check what I am doing......!!
Love Lumi xxx

Thanks for all the kind thoughts. I am feeling a bit more positive.
I know I probably come across as a completely miserable, depressing person on here.... I'm not (honestly!) but I am a bit of a pessimist (it's my defence mechanism!) Every time I come on here and have a bit of a rant I feel much better.... I just need to let those 'bad' thoughts out (if you know what I mean....)
I just need to keep telling myself that if it's meant to be then it will be and that people go through so much worse than me (I always think about my friend who died from leukaemia last year at times like this and it puts everything in perspective).
So.... wish me luck for tomorrow. We're off to stay with my sister in Lancashire again tonight (early appointment in the morning). If nothing else it means I've got to spend some time with her that I wouldn't normally have....
Have a great weekend, everyone....
