Hi ladies

Hope you are all doing ok?

Africaqueen - try not to get too ahead of yourself and stress yourself out. When we had our consultants appointment, they said that you can always ring up around day 15 to see if they have had any cancellations - so it must happen. Also, what's to say that one of these two couples they have 'reserved' a spot for, wont get pregnant naturally in the meantime - it could happen. Wait til tomorrow and see!

Del - I think I will have a go at acupuncture, what's another few needles...! Will do it at HC as will just be easier for me, so need to fish out the leaflet and give them a ring. Good luck for tomorrow too - you rest up!

I received a phonecall this morning from Pharmasure about delivery of my drugs!! Argh! They are coming to my work on Friday, although I wont be starting for another 2 weeks or so.

What are the needles like? Are they proper syringes, or diabetic-type pens? xx

hi there proper syringes hun, dont be alarmed when u c the size of the needles as there are two, the big ones are for mixing the little ones are for injecting x

They said that a 3 or 5 is standerd and that embryos have a better chance in their natural environment. Will look into longer transfer in more detail if this one fails.
How are things with u? How many embryos did u get?? Xx

[africaqueen]

Del- FAB news! get plenty of rest and good luck for phone call tomorrow x

Babies- I am so sorry you lost your mum. It is heartbreaking watching someone you love so much suffering, just want to share our joy with her before she passes away but to be honest the nurse said it could be a matter of weeks with my mum so doubtful. x

Laura- Glad your enjoying your time off hun x

Melbram- Have u had PIE yet? my memory shocking! sorry x

Jane- When do you start jabbing? x

Wow what a day for me! i am soooo overjoyed! when we got to the HC we were told we would be seeing a nurse which unsettled me, but she was lovely! she went through all our forms etc, weighed us both(both ok) and went through our results. My FSH was 8 which is apparantly fine for my age as anything under 10 is classed as ok? and dh's swimmers are A ok. lol. so we wont need ICSI and will be having IVF.
My next AF is due on the 19th and i am booked in for 9th sep for needles appt and to start DR!!!!! YAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
Cannot believe it! we are both in shock that its actually happening at last!! so i have updated my ticker but that may change if af is late! lol.
I assume if af is late i will still have needles appt on the 9th sep and test on a orange or something? lol.
Also as i have had surgery for cervical pre cancerous cells, they are going to do a mock transfer during the time im on meds. I am sooo scared of it being agony like my HSG years ago as it was the insertion of a catheter that was agonising so they are going to see how the mock transfer goes and if its still horrific they are going to book me for a cervical dilation but i really hope i can bite my tongue and get through it as really dont want anymore delays but would also not want a painful transfer as it would reduce implantation of our embies.
Overall i am thrilled il be comparing notes with u ladies at last! ha xxx

No hun,not at all,a little uncomfortable mabey but it's over so quickly and ur soooooo exited about the whole thing that u block that uncomfortable feeling out. I always get emotional at transfer point!! Especially when u get to see them on screen just before they put them back! Xxx
