A lovely new Fred for us This one will be full of fun and BFP's....well, it better be!!

Ladies I'm PUPO! Had 2 blasts put back (quality only fair but so happy to have got this far).
Hope everything goes ok with the scans val & rabbit xx

Couple of 9s, couple of 8s, several 7s and 10 smaller ones so still not much going on in the grand scheme of things. Back on Friday....

Congrats Brooker thanks for sprinting ahead and buggering off cycle buddy

Miss! That's bloody amazing!! I hope that happens to me every single month, I'm well and truly delighted for you. I've got all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

brooker I'm doing that visualisation thing on your embryos for you, willing them to implant and grow! I'm not really an old hippy

brooker somehow we've forgotten to buy ! I demanded suggested we get a bottle at the weekend. I'll definitely need it by then.

Brooker congratulations. May your wait be quick and with a happy ending!

Miss - wow! That's the kind of dr everyone needs

Val - that sounds amazing to me! How many days stimms now? Really, I think that all sounds v promising indeed. I'm resigned to there being no progress tomorrow and feeling pretty scared about it. Some of your follies grew very fast!

Just a quick one tonight...

brooker Huge congratulations on being PUPO, when are you due to test? And two blastos on board - twins could be a real possibility :)

val congratulations on your scan, sounds like things are growing well.

rabbit I hope your follies growth matches vals will keep my fingers crossed for you tomorrow.

miss that is truly amazing luck, you jammy thing. I hope things continue to go well for you.

nobeer how's things with you?

iwant how are you doing?

I am mainly symptom spotting at the moment, despite the fact I know it's all down to the drugs I'm on... I have some cramping (very minor) feel a bit sleepy/zoned out at times, and even had a bit of nausea this morning and evening. That's due to my vitamin tablet and then playing on my phone in the car though I think. I keep on trying to relax and to enjoy the knowledge I could be pregnant, but it's hard when I just want to fast forward the next few weeks.

miss that's amazing news - congrats! Certainly not offended, lovely to hear a success story. Please keep us posted

brooker so happy for you that you're PUPO and 2 blasts -brilliant.

val good to see things are improving with those follies.

rabbit everything crossed for you for tomorrow. Last minute hot water bottle action?

talulah boo to the symptom spotting - it's inevitable though, isn't it? Try to enjoy the PUPO feeling.

AFM, scratch is tomorrow and then an appointment for DR injection and will go through the schedule. Feeling excited . I could be PUPO in 4 weeks!

Excited for you choco - just getting back into the swing of things is quite energising.

Talulah step away from the symptom spotting Progesterone is an evil, evil drug that gives you most pregnancy symptom. When is OTD (sorry, I should know)?

Rabbit I have everything crossed for tomorrow. As people keep saying it really does only take one. I am day 15 today.

Miss what fantastic news. The stuff my dreams are made of :)

missm WOW! How fantastic! We need the details of your consultant! What choco said - please keep updating
llw how the hell did I miss your post yesterday? Please let us know how you're doing lovely x
val I'm willing those follies on slows down the peddling to wait for val to catch up
nobeer Forgotten the wine? You must have been busy! I order it in then I never run out - when I'm drinking that is..
rabbit really hope your ovaries have got going & you see some progress tomorrow.
talulah Here to keep you company on the menkulling! I am determined to enjoy the thought of being pregnant too though
choco good luck with the scratch tom. Don't forget the paracetamol

iwant hope you're ok? x

AFM, trying lots of positive thinking, hot milky drinks & classical music to relax . I get a call from the lab tom about the 2 remaining embies. They were not developing today so not expecting to have anything to freeze but would be amazing if they develop overnight.
Night, night all. Sleepy...zzzz

Night brooks. You're early on here tonight!

wish sorry! forgot to say, welcome back. Make sure you come up with lots of questions to ask Mr D at the follow up appointment and hope it goes really well and you can get your head around what you will do next and get a plan sorted. Nice to 'see' you back.

PUPO! PUPO! PUPO! That's for all of you ladies but brook especially for you, yay!!!!!!!

Hey miss - that's brilliant. That almost never happens, ur very lucky indeed. I'm keeping everything crossed for u that it all goes smoothly for u x
Congratulations brooker . Enjoy the feeling of being PUPO.
Hi talu, hope ur doing ok despite the symptom spotting. Must admit I'm starting to get a bit bored of waiting now and can't believe I've got to wait until a week on Monday to test!! It's driving me crazy but trying desperately to keep calm and happy!! x

Congratulations on being pupo brooker! In answer to your question my first dc was a result of clomid & IUI and my second from icsi.

Good luck iwant and talu with the 2ww. Not much longer to go.

AFM, today I had a scan and have 14 follies growing so pretty pleased with that. EC provisionally booked for Monday

Congrats Owl for being another person to overtake me

Iwant to 2WW is slow, but will seem like lightspeed when you find out you are pregnant and have to wait for various scans

I am up to 300iu gonal f now - back tomorrow.

As there are a few of us on the 2WW now does anyone want to record test dates? I am going to start testing on the 16th, my official date isn't until the 18th though.

Talulah - OTD Monday 18th November 2 x 4cell transfer

owl I think you should be our poster girl! You are proof that treatment can and does work. Well done with the follies -sounds like you have a nice crop there . Are you having icsi again this time?
val you're only now on the dosage I had all way through stimming Hope the final push does the trick

Afm, we had a further blast develop overnight

Hi talulah - Good idea
brooker OTD Friday 15 November 2 expanding average quality blasts put back

Oh Brooker I have taken mentalness to a whole new level. I am straitjacket/padded cell level! Congrats on your frostie.

Fingers crossed/leg uncrossed for tomorrow.

PS I tested 5dp5dt last time (and got my LittleFP which turned into a BFP). This time I have a whole bunch of cheapies and plan to pee on them from day 1 (or day 7 if they trigger me with HCG)

brooker - I'm trying to test every treatment out there! - no joy with FETs yet (and hopefully won't have to try it again...)
Val - I'm on that dosage too, let hope it's a lucky number

I know it's too early for real symptoms, and anything now is in my head/the result of the drugs.

But I'm still feeling hungry/sick which is definitely not normal for me. And has been solved by strawberry milk and crumpets, neither of these a favourite food.

Buggs the paperwork is intense but you are on track now and looks as if you have all sorts of things in the mix to give you the bestest chances.

Tallulah, interesting symptoms. So hard not to notice them. I hope they keep getting stronger.

Well shitey scan no3 for me at day11. My one follicle is 11mm and looking good. Loads of tiny ones but looking too late for them to do anything. I feel like I might be mumsnets worst ever responder to ivf drugs. Given the option to cancel today or keep plodding on and as its funded we thought we might as well. I can see no good outcome here so am busy researching donor eggs and thinking of all the things I wouldn't want to pass on to my child. I feel pretty sad really.

Hi all,

Apologies for absence - due to epic amounts of travel to get to our clinic (it's 3.5-4 hours away), have been nowhere near a computer for most waking hours... am looking forward to catching up with where you're all at!

So - I'm nearly at end of week of eek - egg retrieval yesterday. They got 4 - the doctor said they were expecting to get more, given the scans, but 4 is still okay. Got a call today to say one has fertilised, and did we think we could we come back across tomorrow for transfer? Um.... yes, yes I think we can fit that in!

All very bloody nerve-wracking. Fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow - and that the snow stays off until the weekend!!

Hope everyone else is doing okay - hoping to get to read some posts now! Anxiety displacement = faffing around on message boards and facebook...!!
