    Thanks for the welcome fp, great news about your ten eggs. Here's hoping they all grow nice and strong.

    I would love to join your lists, but I'm not sure where to go!

    We are trying, whilst trying not to try too hard if that makes sense?? We've been told that it's unlikely that I'll get pregnant, but not impossible, so we have figured if I happens it happens (this is what DH and I have agreed whilst I secretly drive myself crazy watching dates, cm, timings, etc...) I'm currently 16 days late for AF and trying really hard not to read every tiny little symptom!! I was convinced in was getting AF this morning, as I was cramping horribly, but it seems to have gone now and nothing. So I'll keep on waiting.... :/

    Phone call this morning was pretty good - yesterday they ICSI-ed 9 out of the 10 eggs collected and 8 have fertilised perfectly :)
    They want to aim for a 5 day ET so at the moment I'm provisionally booked in for 3pm on Tuesday.

    Friday hugs to all xxx Hope everyone has a good bank holiday weekend - anyone doing anything exciting? :)

    ETA: mrsvicx - I can put you in the "awaiting appointment' bit if you like, it's kind of a section for everything else anyway :) xx

    Excellent FP - fingers crossed for those little 8 :)
    Yes please to the awaiting appointment list.

    Still no update from me, had a bit of cramping again this morning and during the night, but still nothing.

    DH asked last night whether AF had finished, so I had to own up that it hasnt even come yet. He just looked at me and said "15 days late? - thats not normal!" Mmm, I know that, thanks hun!

    So weve said no more, but I guess we are both watching the calendar now!

    Friday cheer to all :)
