    Woop-woop!! For good scan results!

    I've got everything crossed for you juju

    AFM.. Nothing changes. Natural cycle this month, DH got back on Dpo 1 so who knows? FF cycle showing triphasic tendencies but then it usually does. Not holding my breath.. ;)

    OMG.

    There's a baby there and it actually measures a day ahead. We heard the heartbeat - 122bpm. I am in utter shock.

    :j:j congratulations! Wishing you a long, healthy, happy pregnancy :D

    Yay for the scan Sarah!:j:j:j

    AFM, none of the eggs made it:(
    Both made it to compaction stage, but stopped growing.

    DH wants me to have another go right away, but I've told him that the ovary needs a rest to produce good eggs:o

    I know it's a race against time (I'm ageing fast), but one can't rush these things.

    The doctor said I don't have PCO, tubes are fine, uterus is fine and high AMH, so that's good news. Should be able to conceive naturally this month then:p

    :mad: for the eggs QQ. Totally understand your desire to let your body recover a bit.

    As my FS said this week, make sure you have plenty of activity!

    Was trying to plan this activity with work travel commitments of OH & I. We were looking at diaries & he said 'that's the shagging week isn't it?' :)

    So eloquent! At least I think he gets it about there being limited opportunity.

    Has anyone got a link to the Great Sperm Race. I have tried to Google it but couldn't find it.

    Hope everyone has some fun this wekend & doesn't get washed away.

    Sorry QQ that the eggs didn't make it, how bloody frustrating. I don't blame you letting your ovaries having a rest, its a bit of a toll on your body. If you don't have many eggs wouldn't it better putting them back in earlier then trying to make blasto stage (or have I got this wrong)?

    Yeah - we'll have to see how delivery goes though! Hopefully now the FS has reinforced the message, he will take note that putting off for a day does make a difference.

    That's a good idea. May ask about that.
    I've had 8, 5 & 4 cell replaced once (three embryos at once), but that didn't go well, so was aiming for blasto:o
