    Peonie - Thanks for the advice! Might head on over to fleabay shortly! My new month resolution to take my temperature has failed terribly so far, I've only charted 2 days out of about 10 lol.
    No problem, I forgot far too often to take my temperature whilst still in bed. Now I need to remember to pee on a stick.

    No, unfortunately no chance - it was a hospital blood test for HCG levels. It was exactly 14 days after EC.

    Sorry to hear of everyone else going through bad times - sending lots of hugs to all who need them. Xx TCD, I'm so very sorry to hear about your mum xx And Tea, I'm positive you're on no-ones ignore list - you're awesome xx

    Congrats SK on your fantastic news xx

    So sorry Lucy :( I know we were all so hopeful for you.

    A girl at work also had her first round of IVF a couple of weeks ago and had her BFN on Sunday. She's the most laid back person I know but she is so devastated. Unfortunately on the Monday when she was trying to get on with business as usual, the email came round that one of our colleagues had had a baby at the weekend which made it even harder for her.

    I just wish it was as straightforward for everyone, and nobody had to struggle.

    Oh and Tea, no way you're on anyone's ignore list x

    So sorry about the BFN lucy.

    Feeling awful atm - got a sinus infection which didn't clear up with antibiotics so the GP gave me more and it's just making me feel worse. Also despite the acidophilus I've been taking, I have thrush too. The nice GP prescribed pessaries for me too because we don't have to pay for prescriptions in Scotland. Despite this I'm feeling dreadful and we can't try this month.

    Also DH finally picked up his kit for SA from the doctor and it's horrendous. He has an hour to get it to a hospital at the other side of a different town. It takes about 45 minutes to get there but they only accept samples between 8.30 and 9.30 Monday - Friday which is rush hour traffic so could take an hour to get to the city. We're considering having him do it as the hospital but he's not good under pressure.

    I remember you Murray! Lots of congratulations, hope all goes well hereon in!

    Congratulations Murray. We went through some treatments at the same time I seem to remember.

    I was so sorry to read your news Chickpea. After waiting all that time it must have been heartbreaking. I have my fingers crossed that you are blessed again.

    My little miracle baby is currently trying to crawl. I never thought we would get here ( and neither did the professionals). But now after just 1 AF I am very very late. Definitely not pregnant - I think after what my body has been through the last 18 months it's given up. Here we go again is running through my mind.

    I still lurk and always will and I might even have to join again one day. Wishing you all the best ladies and lots of BFP's x
