Gee, as sson i read one and post there are more! You are busy ladies today!
Jordan, after reading your post I instantly love your upbeat personality! It really sucks abou the INS company, I hate when they change things. My DH says that when he is president all medical stuff will be paid for completely by INS companies! LMAO, he will never be president 'cept in his dreams, but it is a nice thought!
You got the Thanksgiving story down perfectly, and I will eat myself silly!
Best of luck with the FET sweetie.
Well ladies, I have to go as a huge fight has just broke out between the kids!
Lots of Hugs!

My Dear Becky
I am so sad that we will not have you here cycling with us.
However, totally understand the decision that you & Brian have made. You have to do what is right for you hun. I sometimes think that it must be harder to stop that to carry on once you get on the rollercoaster. You are brave to make the call and focus on your future happiness together as a family. You have a great hubbie and two wonderful children. Enjoying them seems like so the right thing to do rather than dragging yourself through this dark place.
I will miss you so very much - but shall think of you especially when I watch the X Factor every Saturday evening as know that you'll be voting for Ben!!! You have made me laugh so much. You have such spirit & energy.
Sending you huge hugs.
Lots of Love

Oh my god - your post has really surprised me as it has come so out of the blue!!! I'm very sad to not have you around as much anymore as you have been such a great support and friendly help and I would like to thank you most for that!
Having said that, I think you are a very brave lady for making such a big decision and you obviously thought about it a long time and if that's right for you then I am really really pleased for you that you have been able to make that decision. Good on you.

Becks - my September buddy...
I am so sad that you won't be joining me on my next attempt, but I completely and totally understand your reasons for calling it a day. I too have been feeling pretty down about the BFN until recently but know I've got to give it another go. We are slightly different in that we don't have any children at all yet and I think that is what keeps me going. I know I would feel the same as you if I already had even one.
You have been a great support to me over the last few months and I couldn't have got through the 1st attempt without you, and so many of the other fabulous ladies on the September Hopes & Dreams thread.
I wish you health and happiness in whatever you do now, and at least you will be able to have your life back and not be in this constant limbo, which for me is the hardest part of this whole process.
Love and hugs to you and DH. Please do keep in touch.

Becky...I'm not sure if you're feeling the same as I did when my dh and I decided that this is our last attempt if we don't have fertilization, and we aren't going to go with donor sperm option, but if it is, I can only describe it as a sad peace. Sad to be giving up on that dream, but a peace that washes over you like a wave of solace. I wish you the best of luck in your life, and though I only met you recently, I will personally miss reading your sincere and sweet posts. You're such a great mom already, and as you said, you have so many blessings to keep you going. You take care Dear, and I know you'll be looking over us all like our guardian angel. XO
Haylie...You had asked how I was doing...Thank you for thinking of me. I am doing okay...A bit apprehensive about this upcoming cycle. Knowing that the answers that result are going to be so final for dh & I. I am not looking forward to the same deep dark place (to quote Becks) that I was in after the failed fertilization last time. I'm actually getting pretty nervous. It's almost like this stage of not knowing still holds possibilities, but if we have failure again, it's the end. Not a great attitude to be having going into it, but I also know the reality of the situation. Obviously, there's still hope there, or I wouldn't even consider this again, but the chances are slim. How are you holding up dear? I'm so glad we'll be cycling together again. That's sounded bad. I wish we never had to cycle again, but if we have to, I'm glad to have a friend along. So many of these wonderful ladies have cycled together before, so it's good to see a familiar face. Sort of feeling like the new kid starting their Senior year at a new school and feeling a little out of my element.
Especially not being a XFactor watcher! 
Sounds like it's really a good show, too!
In honor of Thanksgiving Day, I'd like to thank all of you ladies for all your support, encouragement, and kindness. Also, a special "shout out" to Aunty for all the time and attention she gives daily to her wonderful "recap" posts and in always remembering & welcoming everyone. You 'da woman!
Better get my butt moving. Got to get the squash done to bring for dinner at my mom's. My sister was going to make it, but then she told us how she uses the microwave and margarine!! Everyone moaned, so I was nominated to make it in the oven with lots of real butter!! A lot more trouble than buying dinner rolls, but I can't let the family down. Just not our family's traditional Turkey Day dinner without the fattening butternut squash being served. Get ready for the holiday shopping tomorrow ladies! How early will you be hitting the stores? I know a few co-workers were talking 4AM!! I hate the crowds and rude, grumpy shoppers, so I think I'll be doing a lot of internet shopping again this year. I always find it so funny that holiday shopping can bring out some of the worst in people. Totally goes against the "reason for the season", but for some, they forget. I take special pleasure in smiling and wishing Merry Christmas to the ones that are frowing and looking angry. They usually only groan back, but I get a little giggle inside. Driving at this time of the year in the shopping center areas brings out the worst in people too. I try to stay cheery, but even I fall victim to the frustrations some of the cut-throat drivers bring out. They will do anything to get the parking stall up front, or to make it through that clearly RED light. People are so funny. I try to take deep breaths, and let people merge in and stay kind, but it's sometimes a very big challenge. Fortunately, I already have some of my shopping done, but there are still a few more items I need to finish up...well dh is out of the shower, so it's my turn...
Hugs to all...Take care...

Becky, It must have been a hard decision to make and I admire your strength to be able to make it. As many have said before me, you are one great lady and you have brought sunshine to our lives when at times its been dark. I will miss you and hope that you do pop back to say hi now again....please dont be a stranger.
Aunty - I'm back on burseline (sorry spelling) and then again on menopur which was what I was on before. I did ask about Gonal F and they said there was no real difference just the way it is manufactured (apparently Menopur contains wee and Gonal F is man-made, oh and the costs!!)
Happy thanksgiving to my american friends - hope you tucking well in to your turkeys....uuummmm makes me feel so hungry!!
Carolyn - 7 days already and first scan tomorrow - I hope it all goes well tomorrow.... grow follies grow.....
Welcome to all you new ladies - you've certainly come to the right place for support. I couldn't recommend a better place to be xx
As for me, made an appt with accup for Monday - prob bit early as AF not arrived (oh thanks for the jiggy dance Aunty I loved it! ) but she seems really nice. She treated my friend who was having trouble getting pg naturally and she has since fallen pg - so anything worth a go I think.
Have a great eve all - not too much turkey my american friends!!
lol Nimble xx

Hello
I thought i would join you ladies here if that was ok. I was on july thread when i did my icsi and briefly on nov thread. I am doing FEt but unfortunately it has not been straight forward. I did not surge until day 24 of my cycle. had my bt on wed and progestorone was 40 and had another test yesterday and it has gone down to 36.5. I had to take pesseries last night and this am to try to boost levels and have had a bt done this am. They will phone me later today to see if my levels have gone up. If they have then i will have my blasts put in but if not then i will have to start medivcated and to take the sprays. So i am sort of all over the place aty the moment. I asked clinic what level they wanted progeserone to be and they said everyone is different. Anyone know what levelds they want it to be before they put them in????
Hope everyone has a good day. looking forward to getting to know you all

Hi Ladies,
Wishing all you all in the US a happy thanksgiving. All this talk about turkey and butternut squash is making me hungry - and I've just had my dinner! My fruit salad for dessert is not going to cut it!
Carolyn - good luck with your folly scan. You were saying you don't feel much yet but I wouldn't worry - I didn't feel much after almost 2 weeks of stimming but ended up with heaps of follies/eggs (and OHSS but we won't go into that!) Keep us posted with your news.
Haylie - hope you enjoy the rugby - DH is a NZer and he keeps getting up at ungodly hours on Sun here in OZ to watch the All Blacks. Mad I think - I wd rather have a lie in!
Jemma - hope it's not too hot in Jakarta - we are heading for a hot week here next week - hope my embies don't melt away when they come out of the freezer !
Susan - 'fraid don't know about levels but I have to start prog pessaries tomorrow ready for Monday's FET. Keep us posted - we may be close on the 2 ww.
HI everyone else and thanks for being here.
Well - I'm just looking forward to a nice w/e - feel nice and relaxed - plan to do a bit of gentle exercise and get lots sleep. Have booked day off for Monday's FET so bring it on....
I 'll be honoured to be this thread's first 2 ww'er and hope I don't let you down!
Will post again Monday. A XX

Very quick post from me as have a mtg at 10.30am but just wanted to let you know how it went this morning. All fine. Dr that I had not met before. Lady who told me exactly what was going on and showed me the screen. Why can't they all be like that! Lining is at 10mm and she was happy with that. That is what acu has been working on for me so v happy that it seems to have helped. Around 20 follies more on one side than the other. A .little worried that they might not be able to reach one side as some scarring to navigate but she thought that it would be alright. Even took the time to show me the scarring and all the follies. Largest is 15mm already & I have 3 that size. Wants to get at least 3 over 17mm. So 2 shots per day continue over the weekend. Another scan on Monday which will be day 11 for me - same as last time. She thinks that I'll be trigger shot on Monday evening then looking at EC on Wednesday and ET next Friday.
Very very happy & relieved that at my age I still seem to be generating quite a few follies and on quite a low dose.
PMA. PMA. PMA. To all my pals. I'll read more and post personals later but just wanted to give you all an update.
Angie - I am right behind you!
Lots of Love

Good morning ladies
well, well, well...so much to catch up on. have the day off work today so made myself a cuppa (herbal of course) and have finally finished reading everything since p.39!!

carolyn - thanks for your tip on the list. i did that and (see above) have decided to stay in the job. your idea really helped though so thank you! the best of luck for your follie scan today!!!!!!!! let us know as soon as you get a minute!! follies, follies, grow, grow, grow!!!
Aunty - thanks for your support. the list looks woohoo!! how you doing??
nimble - your pamper weekend sounded lurvly!!!!!!! good luck also with the ICSI. we're going for ICSI too so it's nice to have another icsi buddy on board. i cant believe you live down the road from me and are a fish too!! thats so cool and freaky!! lol

sonya - glad that the spotting is ok and woohoo that you can start stimming monday. bring on those BFPs!!!!!
for all the ladies and DHs in the US - happy thanks giving!! i want some turkey too!!
as for me - we have our appointment through for DH's andrology assessment, whcih is the 5th dec. they are also going to freeze his sperm he produces in case it is deterioating (spelling again!!). does anybody know if the chances are slimmer with frozen sperm than with fresh (yuk!)... i doubt that this will mean that we will get in for the 13th dec but who knows. i guess it depends how quickly we get the results. i'm also going to enquire about the accu more today. i'll have to see how often they suggest it as we dont really have the money for it. but i'll find out.i'm off into town now to buy some christmas pressies for DH. gonn have to wrap up warm, its so bloody freezing here!! catch up with you all later!!

well, well, well...so much to catch up on. have the day off work today so made myself a cuppa (herbal of course) and have finally finished reading everything since p.39!!
first of all, a great big welcome to everyone!! Michelle - huge welcome!!! jordan - so sorry that you are here but i admire you for all your strength in starting so soon. monday! thats great! woohoo. sassy - welcome! gbnut - good luck with your levels later. let us know how you get on.
tcb - did you tell your family yesterday and what did they say? hope you're ok.
babyblue - thanks for all your support. 12/5 - that's really close! thats not next week but the week after. so excited for you!
bec - work and stress - exactly!! it now means that i've decided to stay at my job as it looks like a couple of jobs are coming up within that department. i figured, like you said, the people there are fairly supportive and know all about it and my boss knows which is the main thing as i can come and go as i please when i have appointments. did laugh about the shit shield and think its a great idea. just have to learn to use it now when i'm caught offguard!! lol. also, it was very interesting to hear about accu and how it regulated your AF. its really amazing. glad your DH sweated too when thinking about twins.
mine did but he said to me the other day that he thinks we would both be ready for twins now as we've got used to the idea. bless. so...bring on all those twins!! hows your mum? hope she's recouperating (sorry for spelling)...carolyn - thanks for your tip on the list. i did that and (see above) have decided to stay in the job. your idea really helped though so thank you!
the best of luck for your follie scan today!!!!!!!! let us know as soon as you get a minute!! follies, follies, grow, grow, grow!!! Aunty - thanks for your support. the list looks woohoo!! how you doing??

Morning Ladies!
Thanksgiving was pertty good, went to my parents for dinner (about an hour away) but with rain took almost 2 to get there, oops!
Shantala thanks for asking, Mom is recovering fantastic, she directed us all from the couch heheheh! headed to SIL for dessert, she should be having her ER next week, PMA for her!!!! glad to have 3 more days off. will do a bit of shopping, I need to get a gingerbread kit today to decorate at our families 3rd annual gingerbread decorating party,,, YUP we are total cheeseballs. Eager for next week at the thoughts of stimming again. I get more scared, excited, nervous anxious, giddy, the closer I get, Just really hope this is it for us! DH still is driving me nuts today, He is just sharp with his words and where i am pumped up with hormones I get easily sad... he isn't so good with that. can I strangle him ? hehehe. I think he is ok with the twins Idea, but he'd feel better with a singleton. but what ever is in store for us we will go with it! I do hope frozen sperm are as good, for thats all I have to work with. as far as everyone has been telling me they are totally fine. or maybe they are all lying to me because I have no other choice????
LOVING the day off too!
Aunty- sweet aunty. hope you had a great turkey day, didn't stuff myself too much, very glad for that, trying t o lose the IVF weight a bit. got weighed last week and realized since I started IVF gained 10 lbs, eek! trying not to get too discouraged but hard since i try to stay relatively the same weight. BUT all that will hopefully change starting the end of January... Bring on the big fat belly!
Erin- hope you had a nice day, target today for me, i think. hitting the gym this morning, and i made a play date with my dog... Just frustrated with DH this week. trying not to be because I know my meds are part to blame, but AHHHH. need to vent!
well I know I missed some .. sorry, fingers hurt from trying to catch up!!!!
off the the gym to burn some of those turkey day calories! love to all. catch up later!
