Sophie - I haven't got exact dates - I think it will depend on AF, although when I asked today they said not necessarily - as long as there are no big follicles present giving off lots of oestrogen then I should be ok to start. My baseline scan is 16th and all being well I start stimming 17th. I've got rough dates of 22nd/24th and 26th for scans and bloods and ER w/c 29th. At my clinic they do ER on a Monday / Tuesday and Transfers Thursday / Friday. So should be 29th/30th for EC if everything works out!


Lisa - thanks I hope it is a good omen too!

Rach - so glad you have got your dates it is so good to know when you can start. Hope your cold gets better soon

Sophie - have a good day in work tomorrow, it's horrible going back but just think you'll soon have lots of time off when you are on maternity!

I wonder if any of you ladies would know if it is okay to have aromatherapy massage whilst I'm downregging? I havedecided to try and keep myself relaxed as much as possible, so I fancied a massage but I'm sure I read somewhere about the oils they use not being any good for ivf or maybe I dreamt it!

Haylie I am not too sure on the aromatherapy part, but if you're not 100% may I suggest a massage designed for pregnant woman? They use oils that all natural and safe and it not only relaxes you but helps your body with the whole process. I know that you're not pregnant YET, but hey the therapist doesn't have to know that! HEHEHE And who knows maybe it will help with the IVF process.
Hope this gives you some food for thought, good luck relaxing and enjoy!

Hi Ladies,

Well went for a blood test and sono today. Looks like I'm starting Lupron on 1/12, boy do we have a busy cycle on this thread! Still trying to get excited about going through this all over again, but sometimes the fear gets in the way given what I just went through. Had my financial consult today for the PGD and pretty much know what we are dealing with from a financial perspective. Good thing I get a bonus is all I can say.

Lara... looks like we'll be down regging partners. Hope you are feeling better. So many people are sick with colds.

Sophie.... going back to work STINKS! I'm here today and have the attention span of a flea!

Aunty... has AF reared her ugly head yet? I'm AF'ing enough for everyone on this thread. ugh!

Bec... how are those twins doing?

Tex... my heart broke when I read what your sister's piece of **it husband did to her. Aunty had a great idea though.

Angie.... hey twin beds worked for Lucy and Ricky, I'm sure it can work for you too! :wink:

Macca... finding the strength slowly to get back on the horse here. Doing the AF jiggy for you as I write.

For all you New Year's party animals, please make sure you let the thread know your my space addresses so we can check out the pics once they are posted.

hugs,
Ange

Hello everyone!!

Had BW and US today. They put me on cetritide already because I am close to ovulation and responding very well to menopur. I have 12 follies already. My E2 was over 1200. Is that good or too high?

They are lowering my dosage to 225 and have to go back tomorrow for BW and US again.

They say that the ER could be monday!! Oh My!!

Beachbaby, I hope you dont have too much work. I know how busy it can be at the new year!!

Ange, Good for you to get a start date. I am doing PGD too!!

Auntie, Here is my AF jig for you!! :D

Sophie, Did you ask about Femoral massages? It is to help the blood flow to the uterus. If you want more info I will PM you :D

Rachel, Hope you feel better. Not long before you start. 11th is right around the corner!!

Macca, good luck on your cycle. I hope this time is the one!! This will be my 4th. The new year will bring us our blessings!!

Hi to everyone else. Sorry if I missed you. Will check in again later after I read the rest of the posts.

Love to all,
Jackie

JackieG: You are on day 4 stims? Sounds like you are responding well. Don't worry much about it being too high at this point. I was all freaked out (and i mean freaked out :? ) during my last cycle b/c E2 levels were through the roof (on day 8 it was >7,700). RE wasn't concerned, said it was a good sign (as all follicles were large, no risk of OHSS). I ended up w/14 mature retrieved. Hopefully this is also a good sign for you!!!!

Oh Aunty: found the PERFECT AF jiggy smiley for you....but alas can't get it to show up. But let me describe... it is smiley doin' Saturday Night Live...including lighted dance floor. Fab! I figure not even the evil AF can resist disco!!! So i am sending it your way

Tonight i take my last BCP! AF by end of wk, then i will be growing a *pretty lining*!

More personals later... but nice to see lots of you getting your schedules (or at least getting close to getting schedules) this place is goin' to be jumping!

Hello Everyone....

Hi Aunty-Hope that AF visited you and things are going well with that!!

Sassy-Sounds like a plan to start growing a "good lining" I know what you mean!!!

Jackie
Great with the 12 follies. That is so awesome....I think that 1200 is great. From what I have been reading they expect about 100 per follie so that works out right. You must be so excited!!!!

Ange
Your day is the same as my transfer for FET!!! Good day! That is really good that you get a bonus so that you can get your dream!!! Woo Hoo!!!

PMA
your trip to Italy sounds wonderful! I loved going to Europe for our honeymoon..I want to see Italy. It is so neat to see how other cultures live and what is going on around the world. It is really enlightening. Hope that you can do it and have fun! I am glad that I have a job but I want more days off!!! I had to go back today and it was horrible. Ready for more vacation!!!

Well take care everyone. Hope that the rest of you are doing well tonight...

Hello Everyone,

Auntie, Im so sad that i could be with you all here on the same cycle. Also found today that my passport will be expired in 5 months so i must renew it, fly to city where it issued n stay about a week to get a new one. I dont think I can leave DH now. Im also doing AF dance for you hon...

Shantala, its nice to be here too... the accident was awful, cause of Christmas n new year mostly the passenger flew with the whole family. I told the plane fall on mountain n only 12 survived actually just rumor. Last night, the ministry announce they still can't locate the plane. They are searching now on ocean. It's been 3 days, since last contact. Anyway, thanks for the prayer for me n DH. It's very nice. What's your ticker means? I dont really understand.

SS, Love your PMA. We'll pray very hard for you hon...

Macca, miss u a lot. I will start around Feb 20th. So our baby's age only a month a part :D Glad, u n ur DH recover.

Charlie, Lara, Sophie., beach baby, Tanya..... Hi :D :D Good luck in everything you do. Wishing your dream come true.

Haylie, my friend told her DR wasn't allowed aromatherapy while IVF. Christine right, maybe you can ask massage for pregnant. I don't what it is in your country. In here only hands, back of you body n legs. Not in front of your body or stomach. My nurse told it was okay to do gentle massage before ET. Better ask your nurse for sure.

Ange, You are amazing. Glad everything okay :D Is PGD expensive?

JackieG, good luck on ER. OMG, You aren't far. Can't wait to see your BFP here. Im so excited for you. What Femoral massage? When should we do that? When stop?

sassylv, sure your lining will be grow nicely. We pray for you

Good luck to everyone else. Sending all of you my prayer tonight.

Luv, Jemma

Hello everyone, and a Happy New Year to you all!

Well, it's back to the old routine today - back to work (groan...). I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and had a great NYE. We went to Paris which was lovely, although DH caught the dreaded Christmas Bug after me so spent a lot of the time clutching a bucket, poor thing.

Macca - hey honey! My downregging is going ok. I have had some flushes but that's about it. Its baseline scan and bloods tomorrow and I REALLY hope I can start stimming next week. Last cycle I was downregging for 5 blimmin' weeks, don't want that again! Am hoping being on the BCP immediately before I started will help in that department. Hope AF arrives for you soon. Am doing the AF jig for you as we speak...! :D

That goes for you too Aunty - its so frustrating waiting for her to show :x

Take care all, will post tomorrow and let you know how baseline goes...
