Congrats Trying to Cope - goes to show, it only takes 1 and we shouldn't be so bogged down with the numbers.

Well I have read this post before but currently lying in bed after 5 day transfer yesterday. Love reading the success stories and really hoping I can post her in 2weeks. Xxx

Bump

thank you ladies for posting your success stories. It really helps those who are hoping to start or starting this "bumpy" ride. I am new to the world of ivf forums and there are so many of them...its mind boggling. So glad I found this one with positive stories and it gives me a reason to hope everything's going to be alright.

Congrats to all the BFPs on here. This thread has been really helpful to me as I go for egg retrieval tomorrow. These stories give me hope and have put my mind some what at ease. I hope that I am able to post my success story here by the end of the month. Thanks again ladies for sharing.

Bump!

Especially the OHSS stuff - I realised that I may be in a bit of bother after reading postings of similar experiences and I saught help immediately.
