Well day 1 of operation supersperm didn't go to plan. Tried to hide a tiny handful of pumpkin seeds in some breadcrumbs, 5mins in the food processor & you could still see them from 100 paces.

Tea - I can't find any stats or anything about Hewitt, so hoping to find out more at the patient info evening when we get an invite. I hope we get three goes!

I've been referred to the Hewitt Centre as well. You never know, we might go to the same meeting! A week later and I'm still waiting to hear if we're eligible for free treatment. I'm being quite impatient.

Last week I talked to Mr P about adoption. He really does not like the idea of it. But he is willing to go to the open evening if I really want him to. I suppose I should wait and see if the IVF works but time seems to be passing.

You can crush them using a rolling pin or pestle & mortar. Should be invisible in anything.

Tea- maybe something like this would be sneakier? http://www.myprotein.com/sports-nutrition/multi-vitamin-powder/10529755.html?utm_source=googleprod&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=gp_sports&affil=thggpsad&gclid=CIna77ys57gCFVMetAod7HAAWQ Not that I at all advocate hiding things from OH. Lol.

Peonie- it took about three weeks for me to get funding confirmation from my PCT. Oooh, what if we all start treatment together!?! The open evening is pretty useful- I'd go with some questions prepared though if you have any from their website and get the speakers at the end of the meeting as they'll give you your blood appointments at the meeting then it's a little wait until they get the results back. My results require further investigation so I'm stuck waiting. Also the counsellors at the Hewitt are life savers. I want to take mine home and keep her in a cupboard- she's so lovely.

Haha loving all these sneaky suggestions about grinding up secret ingredients to feed the men!!

I'm waiting waiting waiting for all our ivf info too. Doc said it would be about 2 weeks (which is today) but then I spotted your signature tcd and saw how long you waited for the info evening, and thougtht - this is going to be a slow process! Ttc definitely tests your patience!

Just read that eeva article. Made me a have a little positive burst. Thanks tcd x

I feel a bit left out that we didn't have an info evening! They just said "clomid isn't working, SA poor, you need ICSI, ring on CD1 to get started".

In other news.... am starting to think pumpkin seeds are indestructible! Today's plan... think of something I can hide crushed up walnuts in

Whattodonow

At least that sounds quicker than the 3-4 month 'process' (aka waiting time) that involves the info evening!
