Hey chickas! Hope you're all managing to keep up some PMA today....mine is waning a bit as I start to get stressed about what my AMH levels will be....how I will manage IVF around work.....how I will cope if it doesn;t work. Also have got all the signs of AF arriving at the weekend and feel a bit like I'm getting swollen tonsils.....feeling a bit sorry for myself. Clearly, I should be asleep by now so I will have to be brief.

Sarah, sorry to hear you're feeling a bit pants....I really feel for you......is good that your body is clearly responding though. What makes you think you may not ov this month? I agree with what you say about friends. I know we must have friends who are TTC but it seems as though all our friends and family fall pg at the drop of a hat and I just don't feel they could ever understand what I'm going through. Maybe that is a bit unfair of me though....but I know that despite being a pretty empathic person I never realised how awful infertility was until I experienced it myself. I agree I will be over the moon for all of you when you get your BFP's and I cannot really 100% honestly say that about people in the real world.... Oooh loving the image of us all meeting with our broods one day....despite not knowing what any of you look like!
Hugs and kisses to you al....got to sleep xxx

Morning all...
I hope everyone is doing OK today?
TBD when do you anticipate to get your AMH levels back? Ah love you, try not to focus on the what if it does not work, I was reading zita west's book over the weekend and she is very much a strong believer of visualisation. To focus on each step that it will work and visualise it? Maybe everytime the what if's come into your head, visualise the egg implanting, or the egg fertilised? I find myself doing that when I am having a what if day and it seems to pick me up a little bit?!
Sarah ah love you, I hope you are having a better day today? With all the horrible side effects you have been suffering from as well none of that is bound to help either! Hope all the spots have gone? I was thinking about your day 21 bloods... you are not going on day 21 are you? As your cycles seem to be much longer than 28 days and I don't want you getting neg ov results when you have ov'd just later?
Hi Sanguine, hope you are ok sweetie?

Morning girlies,

It is so nice to log in and read all of your updates on this thread. I am so sad now that i 'save' it till last so that I can then sit and spend time on my reply (even as i type this I am supposed to be working....ho hum!!). What is lttc doing to me that i get my thrills from a chat thread hey?!!! lol.

Rachie - It's so great that they can move relatively quickly on your ivf (although january feels like forever away to me, so i guess it does to you as well!). I like the 'new year new start' sentiment. Its also great that your DH is more on board with things, feeling more involved etc. You will obviously benefit from him being 'in the know' about the process when the time comes! Hopefully it will encourage him to wait on you hand and foot as you go through the procedure:) I keep thinking that knowing we have until January is good in a way as it means we can really focus on giving ourselves the best chance when the time comes - I am taking so many vitamins right now that I am sure I could exist entirely without eating;) (physically that is, not emotionally!!! lol). The one thing i am finding it hard to motivate myself to do is get my fitness regime kickstarted - the darkness and the winter weather not helping!!! But anyway, getting our bodies primed ready for january is a good way of distracting ourselves till our time comes:) Hope you are filled with pma at the moment!

Sarah - So sorry to hear that you are suffering with side effects this time round...the hot flashes must be awful...but at least it should be a definite sign that it is working?! I really hope that it just means you have two lovely healthy follicles forming ready to go:) When do you go for your bloods? Hope you have managed to fit all the required bd'ing in, you are in with such a good chance this month that I really do think you will get a lovely birthday present this November. Hope the side effects settle down over the next couple of days and are replaced by morning sickness!!! :) (not that i wish you ill, just wish you up the duff!!! lol).

TBD - oh love, it saddened me to see you are having a slight dip in pma, I have been loving your enthusiasm and positivity over the last week or so. I think Rachie's visualisation tips are great - focus on the fact that in two weeks time you really are in with such a good chance! Try not to worry about work too much - where there is a will there is a way I always think - are you planning on telling them? Surely they have to be understanding and supportive?! If not, just think, you only have to put up with them for 8 or so months before you can take an extended break:) I am sure your AMH levels (although i must confess to not knowing what they are?!) will be fine, you sound like you are very healthy and so on, you have regular cycles etc, so I really am positive for you that there will be no problems there. I still don't quite know what to say about the whole 2 embryos thing - I was surprised to read that your consultant had been so against it - my gut feeling would always be to go with 2, but I can totally understand the dilemma you face. I hope you are managing the decision ok with your OH...And as Sarah said, I am sure when the time comes you will be able to make a decision confidently, so try not to let it worry you too much now! You are so close now to starting, hope your pma picks itself back up asap!

As for me, nothing to report really as per usual...this limbo malarky is rubbish! Been taking the agnus castus for nearly a week now, but no idea if it is working. Been taking loads of vitamins recommended for people with PCOS - zinc, magnesium, EPO, Vitamin D, Vitamin B Complex, a good multivitamin, along with my folic acid (although after 2 years there must be enough of that in my body to last me a lifetime!!)....its an expensive habit!!! I still want to add chromium and something else i can't remember off the top of my head to the pile, but am trying to hold on to some sanity (and money!!). Who knows if they will do any good, but i think it is important for me to feel like i am doing something!

Hope you are all well anyway

Ha ha Sanguine, I'm the opposite to you as I always have to read this thread first! I think I would lose my mind without my daily fix of you lovely ladies!

Ooh Rach good advice on the visualisation technique and I will try to be more positive and use some of those myself. Although the last time we BD on Sunday I did lie there for 20 minutes afterwards imagining the sperm swimming towards the egg!! I'm on CD11 now so not much chance of them being around for actual OV but I'm pleased to hear that Zita would support my ideas!! I just thought I was a bit strange in willing them to swim the hearts out!! I am having CD21 bloods done but I am not going to pay too much heed to it as you say I have long cycles anyway so I'm going to keep BDing till CD30 or so. My doc did say though that any OV after CD30 would not be a good egg and is likely not to implant. I don't know if that's true, I never checked it but when I have had a 'normal' cycle they have been about 35 days long which would mean OV around CD 20 or so anyhow. God I really, really hope this works. Thanks for all your PMA girlies and I hope I can reward that with some great news in November!!

TBD, I feel sure your AMH levels will be fine. You have normal cycles and nothing else has been thrown up before as out of balance for you so I see no reason why this would. You are young too and healthy so you're in a great position. I have such a great feeling for you & Rach that this will be when all your dreams come true. Keep the PMA up. I have such admiration for you and I know you will succeed and what a great day that will be! As you said, I will be 100% happy for you and I have not been able to feel that in the 'real' world even for my own sisters. I know someone else's happy news does not take any chances away from me but I just find it so hard when people get pg at the drop of a hat. I guess it's a sign of the green-eyed monster making an appearance!

Sanguine, January is only 65 days away! I know it seems forever but that's only two 'normal' cycles or one if you're like me & you with our 60 days plus!! How are you feeling? Do you think AF will make an appearance? She turned up for me literally when I felt the least like she was coming, she is such a witch! I hope I never see her again! (well at least not for the next 9 months eh?!!) But like you say, you have this time to get your body in tip top condition. The clomid has knocked me a little for six so it would be a good idea to be as healthy as you can before taking it. I am feeling much better today though and my skin is starting to clear up. The chromium actually really helped me with that pre clomid but I have stopped taking it now as I didn't want it to interfere. Thanks for the water tip too Rach as that has helped no end. I am on my third litre already as I just fill a water bottle up but my pains are easing and my usual daily headache has not yet made an appearance so that must have been it. I have my acupuncture appointment next week as she wanted to get be just before OV.

Fingers crossed for us all, if not this month then very, very soon!!

S xx

Hiya you guys,
He he....I do love this thread so. I am like you Sanguine and save the best til last!!! But that also means I'm always in a hurry and loads of typos...

Rachie, that is really good advice about the visualisation. I had been doing that myself for a while and always used to imagine the sperm swimming to the egg. More recently I have had an image of myself with twins and I think that is why I have found this whole embryo thing difficult....if we have only 1 embryo then it means my image is just made up and cannot be real....very silly i know. But I will try harder!! I have bought Zita's IVF cd and am going to give it a go tonight as it just arrived today...very timely!! Hope you're bearing up ok sweetie and able to look forward to a break over xmas before you start in Jan.... Have you and your hubbie had tests for Rubella, HIV, Hep B, Hep C and chalmydia? You will need these done and copies of the results before you can start IVF. You may also need your AMH done. I have had to rush to get all this done and it's all been quite stressful so may be good to get it sorted now.

Sanguine - thank you for helping me to see the positives again! You're a star. I am feeling slightly better now although it's just getting stressful thinking about the logistics of ordering drugs, getting to scans and so on. I think I am also v hormonal with AF due some time over the weekend. It is really good that you are doing things that are proactive to help you feel like you are doing SOMETHING. I am sure it will pay off sweetie as your body will be in tip top condition for carrying a baby or two!! Do you do anything nice and relaxing or pampering like yoga, reflexology, massage etc? I haven't managed to do it myself yet but I know it would be helpful if I did.

Sarah - That's good news that you're staying pretty calm about blood tests and so on and just doing some good old-fashioned BD'ing! I find it hard to believe what your doc said given looby and ABP's recent expereinces with ov'ing late.....so try not to worry about that. I have a really good feeling about you this month sweetie. You are very kind in your comments hon..... I think it's so amazing what we have all been through and yet we are all still here....still trying to remain positive....supporting one another...and maintaining the hope that one day we will all be mummie's.

So....my news today is that my AMH levels came back at 14.3 which my cons is completely normal for my age (although it sounds low to me but can't find any consistent info about this). So she is hoping my ovaries will respond 'perfectly' to the drugs she has prescribed...woo hoo...another hurdle hurdled!! Sanguine, FYI, AMH i a test of ovarian reserves. I think AF will arrive over the weekend so first scan should be early next week. I start 'sniffing' on CD1.... it's all go and getting nervous now especially as I have not managed to get hold of my drugs yet....postal strikes causing issues for me :-( I am sure I'm coming down with a cough as well....just hope it isn't swine flu. Other than that I'm v tired and moody....sure signs of AF's imminent arrival.

Love to you all xxxx

Hey lovely ladies,
TBD I am hoping to get my tests done next week, the consultants secretary is away until Friday but when she is back on friday she is sending all the blood info out to me and I just need to pop to the hospital to have them done. DH needs to have his SA done again as well. So he will be doing that next week I think. I need to get them done asap so I can get my consultants appt before December so we can start in January (I am away for most of dec and also they shut for Xmas) so I need to get in there otherwise it won't be until February! But I think we can do it.

DH was talking about going out this weekend drinking... I was like... um don't you want to drive? He was like uh no? and then I went on to tell him that the sperm that his body is making now is the one we will be using in January for IVF as it takes 3 months to produce... I think he will drink but he is now not going on a bender!!! As soon as I heard about it I UP'D HIS VIT C intake and the zinc supp he takes to counteract it.... OMG I am a crazy lady!!!!!!! You are starting so soon TBD... it is so exciting! And missy leave the internet alone about trying to find out if your AMH level is too low... they are perfect :) :) It is time something went right for you :) :) Yay!!! Hope you are feeling better today??? And not caught anything nasty?
Sanguine... hello! :) I know how you feel Jan does seem so long away... but as Sarah says it is only 65 days ... well actually 64 now :) And I am so with you about the fitness... I need to get out there and run but It is so dark and it is so warm and cosy in my house, I think I am going to start on Monday the fitness. Have started the healthy eating but the running is not happening!!!!! As for the vitamins... I am so there on that one too, I am on the zita west ones but also on extra zinc, EPO, magnesium, vit C, vit b complex and vit A and selinium (sp)... I know it is slightly excessive... but I can't help myself!!!!!
Hey Sarah :) I am so pleased the water trick has done the trick for you, clomid really does mess up the body doesn't it???? Glad you are ignoring the 21 bloods as I didn't want you to get down hearted if it came back saying you didn't OV.
Roll on the weekend...

Hey ladies!

Well, ignore my post on your other thread TBD as I asked about the AMH levels and they sound perfect! Sooooo excited for you and I just know all your dreams are going to come true. As Rachie said, it is time everything went right for you and this is that time. You'll be meeting up with us with a little bump next year for sure!! Hope you're feeling better today though. The change in weather can make you feel a little crappy too.

Sanguine, how are you my lovely? Still on the vitamins? And looking forward to your lovely holiday! I'm jealous!! I have Ireland with the in-laws over Christmas although that is followed by a trip to Spain at New Year to see my Mum so I can't complain too much!!

Rachie, I emailed you about the next step before I read this but I never thought about your DH's soldiers being the ones made now! I am having a real struggle with my DH because I'm the one with the problem he thinks he can still do whatever he likes and being Irish he is a big drinker! I've tried to get him to cut down and he is starting to and he's taking vitamins (which were actually his idea!) but I just think he could do a little bit more. But I guess I can't moan at him too much. The past few months I have had a couple of benders myself after abstaining for quite a long time so I'm a fine one to talk!

TBD, it must be the month for visions as I had a BFP dream last night! I was in the doctor's office and he showed me the test with two pink lines on it. One was very faint but it was definitely there and he told me I was 6 weeks pregnant!! I woke up this morning and had to convince myself it was a dream as it felt so real. I don't think these dreams should be interpreted literally but as a sign of what will happen. Your twins vision may mean you will have two babies but not at the same time? You will be a Mummy in 2010 of that I am sure.

Happy Wednesday everyone!!

Hi ladies,

Can I join in your thread please, it's a great way to catch up with everyone & with little poochie im finding it hard to find the time to catch up on everyone. xxxx

Hiya Laujai, of course you are very very welcome to join our rambles!!! You can be our lucky number 5;) It is a great way of keeping up with peoples stories, and it really is starting to feel like 'old friends' catching up rather than just strangers...its nice. Aw. How are you getting on anyway? I must admit I feel I have fallen behind a bit with yours, so would be very keen to bring myself back up to speed if you have the time to fill us in here. How is the house training of your gorgeous puppy going anyway?:)

TBD - great news about your AMH levels being bang on normal - knew they would be, as the other girls say, you are well overdue some good news and some plain sailing from here on in! Mummy in 2010!!! It sounds like your cons is very positive about your chances which must make you feel great, cos I am sure they normally play it down to not get your hopes up, she must be really sure its going to work for you! Hope you are enjoying the Zita West Cd - the things we do hey!!!

Sarah love, CD 12 now??? You are getting close!! Sounds like you have the right attitude to the 21 day bloods, with slightly longer cycles they might not mean anything. I think your visualisation techniques will pay off big style! And good on you for having a few benders the last couple of months, you won't be able to for the next nine or so months so glad you did it when you could! lol.
Your vision will prove right...although with one slight alteration, it will not be a faint pink line but a big thick fat one:)

Rachie, great the ball is rolling to begin the tests you need next week. Every step closer and all that! It will feel more like you are doing something too, which should help to make the time between now and January fly. (She says, as the days are dragging slower and slower for her!!! lol). Good to have the knowledge about the 3 month production line for 'ahem' little men....and its good that your DH listens:) I havent got mine on vitamins yet, but really must...hmmm that will be interesting! I was reading your list of vitamins and mentally checking them off in my head - I am going to add selinium to my shopping list now...although I do sometimes wonder if overdosing will be doing me more harm than good!! lol.

I never really have anything to report cycle wise (very dull indeed!)...have even given up looking for twinges or sore (.)(.) cos figure there is no point! Interesting what you say Sarah about any eggs after CD30 being 'no good' - i have heard so many different things about that, the same as your info, but then also that the follicle could simply have started growing 2 weeks prior and therefore be no different to a follicle produced in a 'textbook' cycle! I'm obviously interested being that i have no cycle to speak of, and wonder if anything could happen naturally now or whether I really am just on a waiting list for Jan...
hmm...

Anyway lovelies I am feeling much brighter now I have had my daily dose of you lot!

x

Hi Laura, Come and join us :) How are you sweetie???
Sarah my dh's sperm is absolutely fine, he is very smug and calls it "super sperm" as the cons told him it was above average. But that has not stopped me putting him on the vitamins... I told him there was still room for improvement!!!!!!!!! aAnd your Christmas and New Year plans sound fantastic :)
xxx

Thanks Sanguine I would love to be lucky n.o. 5 hope I can spread some luck to all you lovelies.

Well there is not alot going on with me really LOL pup is being a little minx so is keeping me very busy she is going through phases with the training some days she is good & somedays she is a little rascal!!!
Im certainly not thinking about ttc though & we have been really good practising safe sex for now. Still waiting for AF to show so that I can go & have my CD2-5 bloods done then it's just a month until our nxt appt so it's flying by Yippee!!

Sanguine so your still waiting for something to happen?? Very frustrating for you.

TBD I read your update & replied on your thread it's ll getting very exciting for you now hun.

Sarah I was reading about your dream, I think that's very interesting I beleive in things like that!! With my 1st pg my AF was late but I was still getting -ve tests like over a month later I then had a dream that my nan asked me how far gone I was so 2 days later I done a test & it was a nice strong +ve!!!! I really hope that dream comes true for you sweetie.
Rachie glad the ball is getting rolling for you & hubby is listening!! I need to start thinking about plying my man with vitamins & have had the talk with him about drinking although I will give it to him he isnt that bad & doenst go out often.

That's a thought actually all the tests we are having done for recurrant mc are on me I wonder if they will do any for him like a SA to check the quality or is it not needed as we do conceive just not carry??

Hope everyone is well today & thanks for letting me join in ladies xxxxx

Hey Laujai, come in and pull up a seat! This thread is a bit like our coffee morning so I'll get you a cup! Let's hope we'll all be switching to the herbal teas very, very soon! How are you doing? Your new pup looks so cute! I have been trying to convince my DH to get a pup for ages but we don't have the biggest house in the world and a rescue cat which we got because he didn't get on with his previous owners' new dog so I know it's not practical. So I'm almost as jealous of other people's dogs as I am of other people's babies!! I'd take them all home!!

Sanguine, I actually have no idea if what the doctor says is true or not. Like you, I remember Flush, Immense, etc. who all had long cycles and got BFP's many many moons ago now so I don't think it can hurt to keep BDing. I don't think I have ever OVed textbook style, it's always been around CD24 or so. If I'm not pg this month and the CD21 bloods say I haven't OVed then they are going to up my clomid dose. What am I saying?? Of course it's going to work!! Visualise, Sarah, visualise!!

I am actually feeling good today as my hugely bloated belly has gone down all on its own overnight (it's a miracle!) and I had forgotten what my actual figure was like as I've had a bloated 5 month pg belly for about 2 months now!! So something must be working inside this body of mine!! CD 13 today actually, tomorrow is 14. I only mark the 7 days off in my diary now as I used to write every day down so I may well have been wrong earlier in the week. But tomorrow is 14 and then DH & I are away this weekend for some serious BDing action!! These two weeks have been the longest of my life though and I still have the 2ww to get through!!

Super sperm eh Rache?! Your DH must have been thrilled to hear that!! I know mine thinks it anyway!! Didn't think about it being a good idea to go on a few benders and get it out of my system! I was just p*ssed off at not drinking or drinking very little so I ended up throwing the rule book out of the window!! Still, I think I am going to be good this weekend and just have a couple of glasses of wine. The last wedding I was at I ended up on the whisky till 3 a.m.! Not pretty!!

Let's hope Laujai brings us all some luck for the next couple of months! I'd like to order BFPs all round please!!

S xx

Hi Girls

Rache that is funny my oh thinks he has super sperm too as he's got me pg so many times, I tell him that's all fair & well but they need to stick!!

Sarah I threw out the rule book too for a bit as we decided to have a break from ttc, I have worked out on my calender & it's just over a month till out nxt appt so I will be behaving myself now maybe just the odd glass of wine (not that im a big drinker anyway).

Anyways girls I am eagerly awaiting AF so I can get my bloods done in time for our appt hope im the only one that gets a visit, send me some af vibes & i'll send out babydust to all of you he he xxx

Ha ha! Laujai, I'll gladly do a swap with you if you can keep my AF away for 9 months!

Sorry I can't help with your question about testing your DH but I hope the tests bring you a solution and that brings you a step closer to a sticky BFP. My mum had 5 mcs before she had me and the doc told her she would never have children but she went on to have 4 so don't lose faith. It will happen for all of us

Big hugs,

S xx

Hi Clomid girls can I join this thread! I'm still waiting to ov 25 days after finishing the clomid. Grrr xx

Hiya Sparkly, of course you are welcome as well, lucky number 6;) I have always had a thing for even numbers, so you make it a merry little number in my head, thanks:) (Prob should be very worried now that i am in fact losing the plot if it has come to lucky numbers!! lol).
Sorry to hear you are still waiting to ov....but....(if i say her name any more times I think i will earn stalker rights by proxy!!!!...) Looby Ov'd later than that and got her bfp, so keep up the hope and the pma, we will for you from our end!!!

Sarah - just a quick one as I have already had several indulgences of this thread today - lol - glad to hear your side effects have died down a bit - its your body tuning in ready to receive that little egg!!! Great news though, am really happy for you. Your weekend away sounds like a perfect little window for your OV as well:) Your DH is in for some luck!!! lol.

Laujai - hope your AF arrives soon, so you can get your tests underway. I so do hope they can give you some answers and get you on your way to your sticky bfp. I would have thought they would check your OH as well just to get the full picture? Not sure though! Seems us women do tend to get the raw end of the deal in this lttc malarky!!!

Waves to everyone else...am finishing up for the day - woo hoo!
x

Wowie, you ladies have been chatty today....I feel I have missed out on the (de-caf) coffee morning today, I can't get on at work :-( Hello and woelcome to our little chat room laujai and sparkly, you're very welcome. As you can see we do go on a bit!!! But it's so nice to catch up every day. Very cathartic and great to support one another.

Rachie - thank you for your lovely comments.....it's so nice to have such supportive cyber-freinds!! I am not feeling too bad today...in a way would rather get ill now so I don't get ill when we've started....but I actually feel ok in that respect. I think you'll get your tests in no worries. You can awlays just go to your GP for the blood tests. So just the SA that needs to be done at the clinic. Woo hoo for super sperm!!!!!!!!!! I could be wrong but I am sure I have read that us ladies shouldn't really take high doses of vit c as it dries up CM?? Not sure what does you're taking though. Oooh it's so exciting that you'll be starting soo honey....I can hear the excitement in your posts!!

Sarah - thanks also for your lovely positive words.....you always lift my PMA with your continual positive thinking!! Your dream sounds wonderful.....oh I so hope it is a good sign and it comes true in a few weeks' time. Yes maybe you're right about the two children being siblings rather than twins....that has GOT to be the reason!!! Must be hard with your DH, but every little helps....having said that if he;s feeling pretty sure of himself that's probably a good thing for all the bd'ing action. So glad you're feeling much better physically today. I always feel my best just before ov....full of energy, more happy with my appearance, more relaxed and laid back etc. Fingers crossed you ov over the weekend while you're away sweetie. I have such a good feeling for you this month....and my feeling's often seem to come true!!

Sanguine - hey sweetie. Thanks also for your lovely positive thoughts. It's so amazing that you can be so kind and supportive despite being in limbo.....having said that I remain very hopeful that being relaxed about it may be a very good thing....who knows, there may be a surprise xmas BFP for you....how great would that be??!! I didn't manage to listen to my CD last night as CD player and laptop both wouldn;t work :-( Am going to try again in a minute.

Laujai - ooh you pup sounds soooo cute. Nice distraction from TTC and probably helps with the broodiness a little. I know my cat is treated like a little prince.....he won't know what's hit him WHEN we have our baby!! Great to hear you're feeling pretty ok about things and it doesn't seem too far off when you put it that way sweetie. Must be really nice to have a break in many ways.....to recover physically, mentally, emotionally etc... As far as I am aware it is unlikely that a sperm analysis would tell you much about the m/c's as it seems to only really tell how able the sperm are to fertilise an egg....which your hubbie's clearly can. However, I imagine that if it were a chromosomal issue there would be some way of testing for this, but not using the standard s/a....??? I don;t really know! I really am praying that all the tests come back clear though honey...or that it is just a case of bad luck.

Sparkly - hugs to you hon. Hope ov happens soon and you're getting lots of bd'ing in!

Well, AFM, I have had a stressful couple of days trying to get hold of my drugs ready for when AF arrives. I managed to get them from a company where they were about a third cheaper than from our fertility clinic. They were very helpful, just the postal strike causing issues and trying to make calls and send faxes while at work! I a getting pretty nervous about it all. We have still not told anyone about any of this.....I know there are cons to this....but it's what we have decided for now. IF we have to do this again we will probably end up telling some people as I'm sure they will have guessed there is a problem already. So you guys really are my lifeline (no pressure at all!!!). Right, better get my CD loaded up!! Love to all xxx

Ooooh so much to catch up on :) Before I start doing work I am going to prioritise this :) :) :)
Laura... I love the sound of your puppy! He sounds like a little minx :) Sounds like exactly what you need to keep you occipied other than TTC. I don't think an SA would be have much to tell you on mc, I really hope you get all your tests back clear. You are such a brave person and I can only imagine how much your heart has broken over what your have gone through. I think a break is exactly what you needed, I know when I had a break from it all it helped me so much mentally.
Hi Sparkly... I really hope OV happens soon for you and you are getting lots and lots of BDing. Good to have you back sweetie!
Sarah so pleased the symptoms have died down :) I never knew that about the old eggs after CD30. I hope you had another gorgeous dream last night, I have high hopes that it will be a reality soon.
Hi Sanguine... it will be you and me starting in Jan with our new year theme :) I am counting every day down to our new start!!!!!
TBD I hope you have managed to hear about your drugs??? I hope they sent them via courier rather than Royal Mail?! TBD you always have us, but if at any point through out the process you need to tell someone outside of us just go for it, I really hate it if you were having a bad day there is no one to give you a physical hug if your DH is away. But use us and abuse us through out it :)
I plan to have all my bloods done at the open blood test clinic which is at the hospital, but I need the actual paper work which is what I am waiting for. Once that comes through it will be done immediately, but flipping royal mail and postal strike will put another delay on it slightly...!!! Oooh!!!! Very irritating!!!
Have a lovely day ladies, xxx

Thanks girlies, I like the idea of being the lucky number 6 Sanguine, hopefully I'll bring some of us some luck! xxx

Hi girlies

And I got a virus off fb despite having McAfee protection i've had to do various scans today to try & sort it out & get rid of the problem (not sure it's worked cause McAfee says my computer is safe but keep getting pop ups from windows saying my files are infected not sure what to do, any ideas from comp bods are welcome please!!!
