hello everyone, I updated my info on the list. I can't figure out who put it all together. Who was it??? And... Thanks! It's nice to see the updates. I gotta find out more about DE. It seems quite expensive. I want to keep my options open. Welcome SL. Have a great day/night everyone.-chriss

Hi everyone!

Jen - I made a mistake and the list isn't showing like it did!! - if you have time, could you put it "back to normal"? Wishing you all the best with the start of your treatment - it's coming up, isn't it?

Big J - I was so sorry to read of your miscarriage, then wonderful to see how you are already planning for the next time. You are really inspiring and strong.

Catharine - how are things going on the 2ww? You must be just about at the end. Wishing you lots of luck!

Chriss- congrats on transferring 2! Hope everything went well for you on Saturday. Just concentrate on thinking positive and pregnant during the next 2 weeks - you have plenty of time in the future to think about DE. Lots of sticky baby dust to you!

Andrea and SL - welcome! happy to see you here! :D The women on this thread are really wonderful.

Hi to Tammy, Jasmina, Kim, Kat, Sonia and anyone I've missed, hope all is well!

As for me, my internist said that my "absorption" tests all came back normal and he has sent the results over to the IVF doc. Still 2 weeks to wait to speak to him and see what he thinks -- but, I'm encouraged! And, AF paid a visit...

Take care!

Hi,

Just popping in to say hello before the next hectic week begins … (have been trying to submit this post since yesterday!)

A big welcome to Andrea and SL! Sorry, I can’t help with DHEA. My consultant was at a conference in the US about 9 months ago and was talking about me trying it but then I think he decided and it would take too long and we tried another protocol. I read what I could find but there weren’t too many well founded studies around at the time.

Catharine, wasn’t your test date on 25th? Any news? Hope you are OK.

Big J – so sorry to read your news. Glad to see you are focussing on your next try in November. Hope you are recovering well.

Kim, I’m in Germany. The protocol is with injections but you can choose the nasal spray instead. Apparently it is less reliable though, so we’ve chosen the injections.

Hi Chriss – Hope you are getting on OK on your 2ww. I’m with Amy that you should relax the next 2 weeks and not worry about DE. I wouldn’t recommend too much bed rest but do take it easy and think happy thoughts… Sending you lots of luck.

Hi Amy, sent you a PM about the meds. Glad to read your good news about the tests … and only 2 more weeks to the appointment.

Hi to Jen, Anna, Bev, Yasmina, Tammy, Kat and everyone else here on this thread.

As for me, I’m due for my next scan (for cysts) on Tuesday and then hopefully we’ll get the go-ahead from the clinic to start the meds…

Have a great week everyone

Sonia

Hi ladies

To whoever compiled this list - it's such a great idea! Sorry if I've 'ballsed' things up as I've added my name to it and I'm still new at this game...

Congrats to all the new mums out there!

I've not much to say as I'm in limbo at the moment. I've started taking DHEA last week (self prescribing :? ) but from the info I've got from this board, I think I may not be on it long enough for it to have any major effect. By the time I cycle in Oct, it will have been just 2 months - but we'll wait and see...

Anyway, good luck to Chriss, Catharine and Jen - and anyone else enduring this rollercoaster at the moment!

Andrea

Hello everyone!
Good to read all that's going on.

Welcome Andrea & SL. You are in the right place.

Jenbabes, my test date is Wednesday September 5th. Thanks for keeping the list. It looks so nice.

Amy & Sonia - You guys are right, I should just focus on the NOW. Not try to plan too much ahead. One day at a time- as they say. I guess I'm just nervous. But I will stay in the moment and think positive.

As for me, I'm waiting to see... And I did rest as much as I could for two days after transfer. I stayed on the couch a lot and went to a few movies. But now I need to do more. I'll just take it easy as I move around. Is it ok to go back to a more normal day on day 3 post transfer?

A big hello to everyone else. Hope all is well. Stay positive, right? -chriss

hey Jen, thanks for doing such a fantastic job keeping the list up-to-date and looking so swell!
Hooray for starting your treatment! What does the plan look like for you? A year is a long time to wait, I can imagine how happy you are to begin! Good luck to you and hope every step is a positive one!

chriss - I think the ladies who have had success are probably the better ones to give 2ww advice - but, try to relax, think positive pregnant thoughts and go about your life without doing anything crazy, like heavy lifting or extreme activities...I hope the time goes by in the blink of an eye and in 2 weeks you'll be looking at a BFP! Good luck to you!

Hello to everyone else. Hope you're all having a lovely day!

xx Amy

Hi for the ones who are on 2ww, eat pineapple, as much as half/day for few days, which is supposed to help the embryos to find good place in your uterus to implant! Good luck and waiting for your good news!
