Hi ladies!

So I went for egg retrieval retrieval yesterday. Only thing that I hated was the anaesthetic. Otherwise it went great.

We got 15 eggs! So so proud of us!

Today, vitalab phoned and said 10 of those fertilised. So we have made 10 lives ?

Now we pray that they will make it to day 5. At that stage they are a blastocyst and can then be either transferred or frozen. We are doing frozen.

So please pray for us that our little lives all make it to day 5!!

Hi ladies,

Scan went well yesterday. I triggered with Lucrin at 9 last night and 9 today. My Dr is scared that I may have over stimulated so thats why I am not using Ovidrel. Basically my ovaries did a lot better than he expected.

Tomorrow is egg retrieval which is very exciting! Cant wait to see how well I did.

Going to do a frozen transfer, not a fresh transfer. Dr wants my ovaries to chill so that the eggies have the best chance of implanting. So we will probably do this end March/April.

Very exciting!

@Ayesha shame i'm sorry to hear, sending prayers for speedy recovery. I know what you mean about tunnel vision re: ttc its crazy how we just forget about everything else hey! xxx
@Cands how did your scan go yesterday? xxx

AFM...7DPO (CD22) and i've had some quite bad af type pains since yesterday afternoon. It is slightly higher than standard pulling down AF pains but definitely down in that region around my ovaries. And today my back is really sore. Don't want to sypmtom spot but we all know how hard it is not to haha!! AF is only due in about 8 or 9 days so I guess time will tell!

Any news from anyone?

Hi ladies hope you all well

@cands good luck for you scan. Please met us know how it went. Baby dust

@Nicola....I have like 10 minutes a day where I freak out and then it all falls away. My grandad is as well as can be. His doctor has said they have done everything they can and that's there's nothing left to do. My uncle is getting a second opinion so we waiting on that. But the past week has been an emotional roller coaster coz for a couple of days he was touch and go. My mind is focused on that so much that ttc has really taken the back burner and in some ways I'm a little relieved. I realized how focused I have been on ttc that I genuinely had tunnel vision.

How's all the ladies doing? Any good news?

Love and baby dust to all

Morning ladies

i hope you all had a good weekend! how is everyone doing? Any news?

@Cands such great news about your follies!!! Let us know how your scan today goes ok! xxx
@TippeeTwo I know that lazy feeling!! its hard to get out of but i'm sure your energy levels will pick up xxx
@MamaK good luck for your 2WW! Praying you get your BFP! enjoy your time with your mom its the best xxx
@Mesh have a good relaxing month! ALways good to take a break xxx
@Ayesha good luck for your 2WW hun, praying for you! Hows your grandad doing? xxx

Sorry If i missed anyone!

AFM...CD21 and 6DPO. Feeling a bit annoyed with myself, we had quite a few drinks on Saturday night but I have been trying hard to just not drink the next month & half until my IUI is done and we know the outcome. Anyway i'm sure its fine, just hope I haven't ruined our chances this month. Does anyone know if a lot of alcohol just before implantation can hinder it? No symptoms yet at all, trying to be positive but its quite hard when you know youre usually met with disappointment of AF but I am in a good space at the moment so feeling good! if nothing this month then at least we have the IUI to look forward to! and then I go home to Durban to my family for a week in mid april I can't wait!

Sending lots of babydust to all
