catw0man I am so sorry your having a tough time I really really hope you get good news im keeping everything crossed for you

Jiblets good luck with the op hope it goes really well

Meercat like the others have said it only takes the one hope you get yo go ahead with the ET, if you don't mind me asking how many appointments have you had from your first consultation I am trying to work out what I will need off work x

I have made spicy rosted parsnip soup today and its very yummy but not as yummy as chocolate brownies has anyone got any going?

Here, have a choc brownie nichart...

I can conform that LEsley Regan is amazing, however at St Mary's you do not get to see a particualr consultant; you go to whoever is free at that point (you can ask to see only one person but it will probably double your waiting time - which is about two hours anyway). But St Mary's in general is very good. Just a bit impersonal at times. And the woman who books the HSGs is utterly, utterly useless and very rude. But you have to just ride it out.

I couldn't find the thread!!!! It wasn't on the first page, and by the time I clicked through to page 2 and 3, it jumped to page 1!

I hope all goes well today meercat and Catw)man! Whatever happens, come here, and we will supply congratulations/hugs/tea/cakes/tissues - whatever is needed!!!

I don't know what is going with my body. I have got peaks on cbfm on Friday and Saturday, and temperature went up on Saturday, but then dropped way down on Sunday! It came back a bit up today, but nowhere near Saturdays.. I can never understand my body. I was incredibly uncomfortable on Saturday. To the point, that we were in Trafford Centre and I had some gift vouchers to spend, but I didn't, as every time I put something on, I got a shock by the look of my belly, which looked like inflated balloon!!!!!

Oh, we got the cotbed on Saturday for our godson's visit, assembled it last night - looks very pretty. I covered it all with sheets trying to prevent cat jumping in, and avoid seeing it (although I love it!).

Hope everything goes well today for everyone. I am feeling positive today for once. AF arrived yesterday. DH initial tests are tomorrow and I have just had letter for my first appt at fertility clinic. I have to go on 7th Jan for Transvaginal Ultrasound Examination apparantly. Going to go to gym today as want to have lost some more weight before my first appt.

Well, this is it ladies. I'm having my hydrosalpinx removed in the morning. I managed to make it through the day (having warned people not to spend all day fussing me). I've got a magazine and a puzzle book bought for the morning, some clothes and books ready over my mams for my bedrest. I've had a huge meal, so a quick piece of toast before bed should hopefully see me through. ( I get very ratty and emotional when I'm hungry, so it's a feeling best avoided....)

Silly question. Do any of you have a special "groom" for these situations? I kinda want to get myself nice and neat so I don't have to "neaten up" for a while after, but I always wonder what the surgeon (and interns) will see, and if they'll think I'm a tramp because of it....

When I went in I did have a groom down there and they gave me paper knickers to put on but I woke up after op and they were not there!! I had my hip replaced and all I could think was where's my paper knickers oh no they have seen my bits :eek: silly I know because they see lots of bits and bobs every day but totally understand where your coming from

Jiblets, wishing you the very best for tomorrow - I wouldn't worry too much about your bits, they have seen so many of them that I don't think they batted an eyelash at my messiness... but in my defence I hadn't been able to bend in weeks and in truth felt far too ill to care in the end!! You'll be fine, I'm sure, x

Hamish - sad to say well done that your body has behaved itself, but better that than the alternative! Onwards and upwards and all that rubbish, x

Ginvzt, hugs for feeling so rough, but your goings on body-wise sounds OK to me? Peak on CBFM very good sign, bloating and discomfort OK that OV has taken place and body is prepared - so wouldn't worry too much about temperature - that could have just been affected by other things perhaps?

No time today to bake anything, sorry! But the kettle is on for tea, herbal or fruit as required...
