Hope you have a good break Lilo. Nice to get some 'practice' in when theres no pressure! It can get so unromantic otherwise!

Winky, how did the ET go? How are you feeling? Did they froze the rest?

Put your feet up and have a good rest for the next 2 weeks or so!!!!

Ok, I have officially gone mad... I can't work, eat or sleep without thinking about a baby. I have done no work all day in the office today. If that BFP doesn't happen soon, you can all come and visit me in the mental institution.

Hi all. Just come back from a couple of days away. Wasn't the most relaxing break I've ever had. Turns out my evil clomid self has been really annoying my husband for weeks now. He's been trying too hard not to say anything to me about all the little things I've been nastily doing to wind him up (not on purpose). Turns out he became completely peed off with me, so much that he's been avoiding me an awful lot. And the lack of BDing that I thought was down to me not being that keen is actually down to the fact that he was too annoyed with me to fancy me properly.
He seems much better since I realised what was going on and I had it all out with him last night. He really thinks that I'm the one going through a hard time, and that he's not allowed to feel that he's having a hard time. I know full well that dealing with me in my present state can't be easy - and I expect him to find it hard sometimes, but he's decided he should be more man than that. So hopefully now I know what I'm doing to upset him, and now he knows that he's allowed to get cross with me things will be a bit better.

We've rung the fertility counsellor for me, but she's not got back to us with an appointment yet. How long will this take?

Hi Ladies

Just have to get this off my chest..found out this morning at our meeting with the specialist that we won't qualify for NHS funding for IVF because of DH's previous vasectomy (which we paid to have reversed at a cost of £5k because the NHS wouldn't do it):mad:. Totally gutted. She's given me another 6 months of clomid and DH has to do another test. Managed not to cry until I got in the car but don't want to make DH feel bad as he feels it's all his fault. I was hanging on to the 'free' ivf as my lifeline and it's gone.....ok, feel better now, thank you!

I have just booked to have acupuncture but she didn't have any appointments until 5th September so I hope she's good! I asked the specialist about it and she was pretty non-commital although she did give me a leaflet from a local practitioner who wants, wait for it, £102 per session with a minimum of 6!!! The lady I've booked to see wants £35, plus she used to be a midwife and specializes in acupuncture for fertility. Not sure if DH will come with me.

Hopefully it won't matter as I've been feeling ill all weekend, especially if I'm the teeniest bit hungry so I'm hoping it's still a good sign - that or I've got a virus:rotfl:

Oh, we all need a hug an cup of tea... Or group counselling...

I am barely holding there at the moment. Maybe it would be a good idea for me to look the counselling option as well - I am really suffering at the moment, and can't get motivated to work at all. So much, that I have made no real progress snce back at work last week after lap.

I am going to see the consultant tomorrow and after the lap, while I was just coming out of ga, he said he will see me in 4 weeks and we'll talk about treatment (or was I dreaming). So, will see what happens next. Since my tubes are fine, I am ovulating, OH's results are fine as well, what else can they do for us? Just tell us to get on with it... Oh well, all will be clear tomorrow...
