    I'm very happy today. We received the letter for our first appointment at the BCRM so we've been accepted for funding :j

    We weren't expecting an appointment so soon - it's in 2 weeks!!! Now have to book into the doctors to get some more bloodwork done. I'm so excited. Is that really sad? :rotfl:

    Had my transfer today. One little embie, 4 cells and grade B which is apparently very good. Hate the transfer as its always painful but now I am at home I have got 2 weeks off work so I am going to lay on the sofa watch TV and relax as much as possible. I might drive some of you mad too!

    Good luck to everyone else in there 2ww and everyone who else is trying hard to get pg.
    Go go embie!:j

    Thinking of you juju, try to keep busy (in a non-strenuous way of course) so you don't go crazy. All the best!
    Am not witty enough to put something cool and informative here:o :o

    Hi SK - glad there's progress, of sorts.

    It does feel good to be doing something, anything. Hope you get things moving soon.


    +++++++++++++

    There's not much going on in my world. That's why I haven't posted much recently - nothing to say. There's only so many ways you can repeatedly report not being pg!

    Anyway - CD11, aiming to DTD every other day until CD16, then every day until CD19 (I usually OV sometime between then) then every other day until the end. I've ditched the CBFM as, let's face it, it wasn't doing a blasted bit of good. Maybe I'll sell it.

    +++++++++=

    My diet's gone all to pot recently, but back on straight and narrow tomorrow - got to work through a backlog of Diet Chef boxes!! My plan of being either pg or thin by the end of the year isn't really on track...

    ++++++++++

    I drank too much last night. I know I shouldn't - I really do know - but I was faced with an evening in the company of my heavily pregnant sis-in-law. She started ostentatiously stroking her pg belly at 4pm and I really couldn't foresee how to get through the evening without alcoholic anaesthesis. I know I'll be fine once the baby's here, I'm not jealous of babies, just bumps. Until then though, I can't even look her in the eye.

    Why can't I just get pregnant?

    Actually, don't answer that, I think I know. It's probably because I'm old and fat and my eggs are pickled in alcohol. Or else I'm being punished for something, there are no shortage of things I may be being punished for.

    I'm 37. Every month that goes by, the odds get longer. It's the law of ever-diminishing returns. Maybe I should seriously just get real. Who can afford the university fees anyway? Maybe it's a blessing.

    We are using up the possible university fee at an alarming rate by going private:o We've spent thousands. If a child is born, it'll have to get a student loan:p

    Come to think of it, it might have been cheaper to go to IVF straight away rather than wasting money on IUIs and clomid cycles. All those scans cost money.

    Done 3 clomid cycles and 1 IUI (with clomid again). I'm on for another IUI if I ov early enough. If not, we'll have to leave it until February next year as we will be working in different countries:(

    Ok 4 days post transfer and I am already going crazy!.

    Trying to analyse every sympton that I have had but for the last 2 days I have nothing. I don't feel any different but this is different to last time (which was BFN). I am trying to stay positive but have a feeling that its not worked and I am wasting my time just laying on the sofa for the next 2 weeks.
