:lol: Hi girls, just back from another sleep-over at work so can now catch up ---again, sorry i'm always so busy :roll:

Carolyn - Wow, brilliant news for an oldie---only joking bud. I feel some positive news coming your way. Its great news about going to 5 day blast, our hospital will only do day 3. Everything is crossed for all your little eggs to fertilize. Now try to rest and get pampered.

Steph - Glad your scan went well, looks like we are going to be stimming together, Friday here we come, bring it on :wink:

My scan went well, the ovaries are all fine and the lining is A OK and nice and thin, yyyiiiipppeee.
Start my nasal spray tomorrow and the Menopur injections on Friday night. There is no pen this time, we have to draw the injections up and shoot :shock:

Looks like EC will be around the week of the 12th??????

The only down side is i am supposed to be on Jury duty, which i have wanted to do forever but will now have to cancel. Never mind, if i get my bundle of joy it will be all worth it.

Will keep you all posted, love to you all

Justed wanted to stop by before bed to see how Jen1d and Steph had done with the scans.

Looks like it is a really good news day on this thread today.

Jen1d - like to refer to myself as mature rather than oldie!!!! :wink: I am so pleased that you are ready to get started. You have had such a lot of waiting. Really hoping that this will do the trick for you and you are going to get a good crop fo eggies. Sure that you'll do fine with the mixing up. You'll be a pro in a couple of days.

Steph - Fab news on your scan and blood work. Already to get going with the egg food. Hoping that you will have lots of lovely follies

Angie - hoping that your follies are doing well. Good luck for your next scan which I think is Friday. Right?

Shantala, Aunty, Rachel and Susette - Thank you all for seeing how I am doing and for all your words of encouragement and cheer. I am feeling very positive today but sure that I shall be biting all my nails over the next few days. Guess that I feel very lucky that they could get the eggies out so everything now is a bonus. Hugs to you all

Love to everyone else. Off to bed. Feel a bit sore but no complaints from me - finding it hard to take the smile off my face!!!

Hi ladies I just wanted to pop in, I hope I am not imposing but, I am having an issue with funding for my meds and I am here to beg of assistance is anyone can help me. I am using Crinone 8% Progesterone Gel Suppositories. And they are very expensive!!!! :shock: I suppose to stay on them til the end of March and I was wandering if any of you ladies happen to have any they could spare.
Please don't think I am a bum, I was signed up with a drug program, and because of complications with cycle, I had to spend more money than was first thought to be needed and now my resources are exhausted and the program will not pay anymore. If you have any Crinone or maybe know someone who does please let me know. You can PM me if you would like.
Thank you ladies for your patience, I look forward to hearing from you!!!

Jen—Good news about the scan! Not long know before you start shooting up. I hate jury duty. Maybe next time I get called you can go as me. :wink:

WISCONSINGAL—Don’t give up hope yet. Stay strong. I will keep you and your little one in my prayers. Please let us know what happened with Thursdays visit to the doctor.

Pep—Yup, so far so good. No evil HPT. If I were going to do it tonight would be the night. Tomorrow is my test. I hope I will be able to sleep tonight. How did accu go? Still having headaches? So you start shooting up soon, huh? Excited??

Mominwaiting—Wow, you’ve had a tough couple of weeks! But I love the name for your little one. It fits perfectly!! That kid is a fighter! P.S. Meds on the way!

Caroyln—That is so awesome. See told ya!! Sounded like a 3rd grader right there but it fewas for a good reason. lol Told ya things could change in a matter of days. Great number of eggs! I will do my fertilize dance tonight for you! Told ya moms make miracles happen everyday! We are here for you during your 2ww. Feel free to lean on us. I know I wouldn’t have made it this far without you wonderful ladies. You have kept me sane…and from taking the evil HPT. Don’t stop smiling girlie..I heard it helps with implantation. :wink:

Angie—Good Luck on your scan. Hoping your little ones are growing nicely. How are your Estrogen Levels looking this time around?

Sooooooo, tomorrow is test day. It can’t get here fast enough. lol I feel really good. I have a date for a movie and dinner with DH regardless of what the outcome is. So I’m looking forward to that. I really pray there is a little one or ones growing inside of me. Wish me Luck! :P

Well done! 11 is a great result. Now lets get them all fertilised and growing beautifully so you can freeze a heap to create a little brother or sister for this your successful one(s) later! Huge amount of PMA coming your way!

Hi Angie, Good to see you are going again. Hope your scan went well today and look forward to hearing positive news about your EC soon.

hi Shantala - very much hope I will be on EC & ET next week - will find out more tomorrow and will let you know.

Wanna - all the very best for the test - have you still held out from doing HPT? - if so that is an amazing effort - and that alone deserves a BFP - GOOD LUCK!

Just wanted to send a big GOOD LUCK to WANNA!!! I can't wait to hear your news later today!!! :D My headaches have gotten better…think it was just evil AF. And after acu I definitely noticed a difference. I am excited that I will be starting Stimms this weekend which is so funny. Who would have thought I'd be looking forward to THREE injections a day?!? One thing for sure is that I've definitely been forced to get over my needle phobia!

Angie- Do you have a follie scan today? I get so confused with the time difference!! :roll: I hope that they gave you the green light to trigger soon!! I bet you are more than ready to retire those Stimms!! I'm beginning to think you are a Stimm-a-holic :lol:

Shantala- Wow I cannot believe your ER and ET is already next week!! :shock: How fabulous!!! I see a BFP in your future!

Mominwaiting- How are you feeling sweetie?? Sorry I can't help you out with what you need. I myself am just getting all the rest of my medication today and not sure if I will have an extra…Hope you find someone who does though!!

Carolyn- How are you feeling today? Still smiling I hope?! :D Keep us posted on those eggies. I'm hoping to hear a great fert report!!

Jen- We are on our way!! When will you go back for your first follie scan? Mine is Wednesday!!

Wisconsingal- How are you? Any news on your little fighter?? I hope that all is well and s/he is snuggling in tighter than ever. I'm thinking of you…

Alright girls, better get to work. I'll be stalking the board all day to hear Wanna's news…bring on the BFP!!!!
