Hi guys,
nelly I'm glad your travel went well - mrsd's advice was spot on, I think. I'm flying (domestically) over the weekend with all my shooting up paraphernalia in my hand luggage, and I've heard it's totally fine - you just pack one of those frozen blue ice block things with it and tell the scanner people.
mrsd Oh I'm sorry about the dosage stress. I know that awful panicky feeling. For what it's worth, when I was stabbing last summer on my injectible cycle, I started on 75 and moved up to 112.5 after several days - it took ages for me to grow the eggs, but when I did there were loads of them, I was the potential octomum! So don't worry - I think 'low and slow' is what my doctor recommended for me to prevent hyperstimulating. You will get there! Better to start on a lower dose and then adjust if needed. Good luck with your scan tomorrow!
madness Like I said to mrsd I had no follies visible when I was stimming (for an injectibles cycle that ended up being cancelled due to overstimulation) and then all of a sudden I had 8! So don't worry. Also, doll only had one embie transferred on her last round, and now look at her, 12 weeks gone! I think the numbness is a natural self-protection mechanism - you've had a really rough time of things and it makes sense that this would feel odd. But you have everything going for you - your womble is all ready for a little un. I really really have high hopes for you. Paw squeeze.
art sorry to hear about your cold, but lovely to see you here! Keep coming back, we miss you!
gin I think terror is a pretty normal response 
but every day you are moving closer and closer to having your baby. Yippee! When is your next scan? I bet you'll feel a lot happier once that's happened and you can see the little ginlet all safely snuggled in. Oh gin I am just so happy for you.
lemon welcome back! We missed you. 
June is just around the corner (if you don't have a BFP before then). I foresee a spring 2014 lemonette!
buzzy not long now to go! Hope the stabbing is going ok.
euro sorry about the clots - that is rotten. Hey, this time next week we'll be nearly about to go for our date! Maybe there'll be some cherry blossom left too, and hopefully it'll be warm - it's been gorgeous here over the weekend, although it cooled off a bit today.
Waves at teu (23 weeks! More than halfway there! ) sar,pout, sea, sweet, rabbit, doll and princess. I love you ladies. All fine here, I have two more days of the birth control pill to go, then I start stimming on Thursday or Friday. So downregging is nearly over! Woop woop! Incidentally, my nurse said I had to keep taking lupron (the drug that stops you ovulating) the entire time, right up to my trigger, to prevent me from ovulating too early. A bit weird because last summer when I was just on the gonal F stimming drug I didn't have to do lupron as well, and when I stopped taking the gonal when they cancelled the cycle, I didn't ovulate - everything just shrunk away. I suppose it depends on your protocol.
Another question... next week I have been asked to go on a one-day work trip to Miami 
- which would mean that I wasn't available for a scan on day 5 or 6 of stimms. I know they like to scan you and do blood tests every day or every other day when you're stimming. I'd fly there and back in the same day, leaving early in the morning and coming back late that night. Under any other circumstances I would LOVE to have a night in a nice hotel in Miami... but do you guys think that would be ok? I've emailed my clinic but they haven't gotten back to me yet.
