Hi QQ - I will try t0 think _0sitively ab0ut the cl0mid - it's a bit hard th0ugh when even the s_ecialist didn't seem t0 think it w0uld w0rk. The g00d news is there d0esn't seem t0 be anything wr0ng with either 0f us. The bad news is, when there's n0thing wr0ng, there's n0thing t0 fix.

I d0n't have _0lycistic 0varies - I think they l00ked like gra_es because I'm 0n CD10 and there were a few maturing f0llicles. She did say there was 0ne g00d l00king f0llicle 0n 0ne 0f the 0varies. I wish I had asked ab0ut the injecti0ns, I didn't think ab0ut that. Fingers cr0ssed they w0rk fr y0u.

Lil0 - y0u didn't bring the thread d0wn - 0r at least, u didn't d0 it al0ne, there were c0-c0ns_irat0rs!

_____

Anyway - excuse me while I g0 and get a flat-headed screwdriver and dismantle this machine. I fear it is terminal th0ugh.

I'm g0ing t0 cheer u_ n0w anyway - I w0n't let a withered 0vary and a br0ken S0ny Vai0 kee_ me d0wn f0r l0ng! T0 hang with it - time fr a drink. Back 0n the cam_aign t0m0rr0w!

Chickpea, I have a knackered ovary too - the laser treatment I had for endometriosis damaged it, and its now not firing - I just hope its on the side of the knackered tube but Im too frightened to ask (and I wonder why I dont get pregnant) Im 41, got no cervix - BUT I GOT HOPE! I have decided that as long as I am having a cycle, I may get pregnant! Now just got to drag my hubby off to bed .......... he likes this bit!

Hi all - thanks for thinking of me.
Everything seems well with me so far, after the 7 week scan was good I started to believe this maybe is going to happen. I feel a bit pregnant now. Still tired and I think I see my belly starting to fill out a touch. I've just heard off the mw, and my 12 week scan will be next Friday. I have high hopes, but I'm still bl**dy scared.

Those of you who are feeling down - allow yourself a little time to wallow then pick yourselves back up. If you're feeling really low, then give yourself permission to have some time off. I tried for 3 years before it worked for us, and I did allow myself a month or two off in the midst of that time, and it did wonders for my mental health. You have to take care of yourselves emotionally, and if that means having a break then so be it. If it means having a bl**dy good cry and a bit of a strop and you're all sorted, then so be it.
I wondered sometimes if it would ever happen for me, and it has.

Chickpea has mentioned the catholic church. If any of you are up for some serious reading, my twitter friends have been having big discussions about catholic doctrine etc recently, following a ridiculous post from an awful extremist judgemental catholic woman. This post, and the following comments, are respectful, interesting and has helped me understand the catholic perspective much more clearly.

I'm a little bit gutted. I am supposed to be OVing this sunday and I did a OV test to see if it is happening and I am getting a faint line, which apparently means NO. I can still feel my right ovary and I am afraid that the follicle will just keep on growing and the nurse said that when it gets too big it will become a cyst instead.
Needless to say hubby and me have been busy BDing and I will continue to do so but I have a feeling I may need to go back to hospital but I will find out for sure next Monday at GPs.
Oh, I have read somewhere that the blood test to see if I OVd should be done on CD21 but the nurse said to go and do it on Monday which would be CD20. Should I just do it when the nurse said?

Day21 bloods test is supposed to be done at 7DPO. I think 6DPO is close enough:)

Awww you guys Thank you.

I've actually had a lovely day. Hubby took me shopping and we bought lots of lovely new underwear (for me!) I had the excellent news that i've gone up a bra size (honey when you've been an A cup as long as you can remember, that's FANTASTIC news lol) OK, it's only because i'm getting fat, but hey - small mercies right? lol.

Hubby cooked a lovely smoked salmon terrine for lunch (slimming world recipe bless him) and he's banging away (!) in the kitchen right now with another surprise.

I am day 7 of no smoking yayy me, and actually, things aren't all bad.
