Hi All
Daly - please send some warmth this way! Last night it was -18celcius!! I also agree with Sue regarding your FSH...I wouldn't worry about it.
Wannabamum - My clinic doesn't check bloods before starting either..strange. I just phone them up and tell them I started with downregging.
Brian_Maxwell - You will find that everyone's protocol is different (everyone responds differently). I am doing Synarela for downregging and Puregon for stimming (no BCPs) with Utrogest after transfer for progesterone support. Just take one day at a time
Eminde - It is very hard for me not to tell people..somehow I feel I need to explain myself (i.e. mood swings). We are not even telling MIL and FIL. DH may be travelling during time of EC (we planned it so he is not but you never know how the body will react)..but because we are not telling anyone - I will have to take a taxi home...let's jsut hope everything goes to plan.
Welcome back Pauline!! You are so lucky to have a supportive manager. After my first IVF I actually quite my job...too much stress and in a very male-dominated company.
Jodic - I have heard they use AH for eggs with a 'hard' shell...I am sure it would help because it is one step closer in the pregnancy puzzle. Some woman's blastos start hatching themselves prior to ET.
Di - This will be our lucky turn!!
So looks like I will start DRing one day earlier (I ovulated today and my doc likes to start DRing 7 days after ovulation). YIPPEEE!!! Yesterday I suffered from incredible backpains and they are still with me today. Not sure what I did but I haven't had back problems since I was on an incredibly stressful project.
I have updated the list with my new info. Are we missing anyone??
