9pm

Maybe vomit free since 2003! Anyone watch how I met your mother?

As the others say maybe , they could be good signs!

Well done twinks , great numbers

DH is off doing a long walk today and I thought I'd better give it a miss bow to the pressure and guilt trip from the acupuncturist and stay at home. Think I am just going to chill and maybe do school reports if I can be arsed

Still on cloud 9 juicy? nice pics btw

Boo to working all day cups

A long walk in this heat Choco! You're bette off chilling out! Sack off the reports, you know you want to!

I've only seen bits of it Cups, why?! I don't do vomit. 9pm? Rubbish

Me and OH are feeling positive, just hope and pray things stay good.

Question: has IVF got a better chance of working if you've fallen pregnant naturally before? Read this on another thread, I didn't know this.

Yes, they say it does Twinks. Sorry for asking, you've probably said before, but what led ou to IVF in the first place?

The vomit free quote is from that show Maybe

Twinks I have read that they give you a higher chance of IVF working if you have got pregnant naturally in the past. I try not to think about that as I've never had a BFP before. It stresses me out a bit as they can't find anything wrong with me, I'm fairly young and my DHs motility has been between 4% - 8% so even though its not great you would think something would have happened naturally in the 3 and a half years we have been ttc. It makes me think there is something else going on like immune issues or implantation issues.

Thanks for all the sympathy, it makes me feel a bit better about being trapped indoors in a sweaty uniform

Try not to stress about that Cups. There are so many reasons things might not have happened naturally. But this will work, I just know it x

I know I've got to try not to think about it all as its not going to change anything.

I downloaded the zita west IVF relaxation cd last night. Anyone else used it? Its probably a load of rubbish but I'm going to try to do it everyday. Over the next few weeks I'm working at the weekends and have got my days off in the week. No one else is off so I've got no one to do anything with. I'm scared ill spend the whole time googling IVF so I thought I could try these if I've got nothing to do.

I have that CD cups it's very relaxing as I , without fail,fall asleep to it every time I listen!

Twinks, I'm sorry you've come across that information. Push it to the back of your mind, this is your best chance ever and that is something to be really excited about.

MaybeSheSwallowed, what happened in 2003 to make you pukerello?

I'm watching horror movies all day with the nieces with the curtains shut so I can't see the blazing sun.

Cups, I'm sorry you are suffering the equivalent of eatingold people's toe-jam by working in a sweaty uniform today. Men's motility is massively important in this game, if you ask me. The good news is that is easily rectified with IVF. You're in with a fantastic chance!

*eating old

Nomaybe - we have male factor. OHs results have been called borderline. Feel very :( for him. Last night he was saying he felt like he was da,aged goods :(.

Damaged

Nocupcakes - you're situ sounds the same as mine. Like juicy said, IVF helps out male factor issues a lot so it's good(?) that's there's not factors on both sides. Keep your chin up girl.

Twinks my DH is the same, I feel terrible for him. I don't blame him at all but I know he feels responsible. I'm really careful what I say to him as I don't want to put anymore pressure on him. I'm going sound really cheesey here so I apologise in advance. I desperately want a baby but I want and need my DH more.

I know IVF has really good chance of working if its only male factor so your right we have got to keep positive. This is going to work!

We are in the same boat too. DH is a cystic fibrosis carrier so had to have SSR. He constantly blames himself. Though he is rather chuffed now we know his sperm is more than capable of fertilising my eggs

Hi to fish - all okay?

Hi gorgeous girls! Quick update as rushing out (will catch up on the personals laters). Got another scan Monday with EC expected Weds!! Eek < I am rather excited >. Lovely growth on most follies ( 10-11 around 15mm, 2 larger at 17-20). Have a super day all & looking forward to hearing everyone's updates. xxx

Brilliant news, Brooker, well done you!

Great news brooker!

Amazing news Brooker! The end is in sight

Nice one Brooker! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Winkle 18 embryos? Fabulous! It is going like a dream for you. Roll on Wednesday!

I think that the % chance of a clinical pregnancy with IVF is higher if you've been P before but that is simply because the statisticians can rule out some potential issues which they would have to factor in if the woman has not been P before. It doesn't affect your chance IYSWIM.

Also, I'd say your DH is the opposite of damaged goods. The ICSI fertilisation rate is usually 60-70% and yours is 75%!
