Have you had the Day21 tests?

I have -all normal - I've only had it the once though so it could have been a right ovary cycle rather than a left ovary cycle!

Hope it won't come:o

Thanks Q - Secretly, I do too :shhh:

I'm actually trying to avoid BD'ing in my fertile time but it hasn't stopped me SS'ing - old habits die hard!

My situation has took a at first an upsetting twist but actually as good as it could be, rung Guy's acu to book an appt with Dr Grace who done my last fresh ivf, sadly she an see me but can't follow my FET as she is on an 8 month sabbatical starting beg April,

I need an appt for 1st week of April to work out my protocol and do my usual protesting for 3 embryos not 2, though not sure what the case is with FET.

What they did tell me is the head of the unit mr Khalaf will be back so i'm going to go under his care again, we went with Dr grace for last ivf as she was basically cheaper by hundreds.

As it's a frozen the whole shebang with meds is £1150 + £250 for seeing him, which we can afford without any issues, so i'm feeling quite okay about it all.

Which judging by my cycle means i'll be first week of May, which cuts it fine as last week of may we are on a French Cruise.

The cruise will be relaxing either way itms.

I'm now reading up as much as poss about frozen protocols xxx I'm getting excited as it's a new chance xxxx

Loads of sticky vibes for all xxx

Quaver lol my mind is awful at best lol! xxxxx

Nicki - thanks! I'd like to think there might be some karma in the air one of these days. Experience shows though that there's just no fairness in the world of fertility/infertility. But stories like yours are encouraging!

How exciting Toniq! And that really isn't expensive. (When you think it's hard to get out of Sainsbury's some weeks having spent less than £100! May is just around the corner.)

Like a lot of you, I have a massive stash of fertility paraphernalia too. As well as 34 books on the subject, I have a big black toiletry bag in the bathroom stashed full of my:

-CBFM (also gathering dust - why throw good money after bad..? I reckon I'll try to flog it to an enthusiastic Fertile - it could fetch £25 or so, that'd pay for some fillet steak and a nice bottle of wine...that might do more to help me get pg than that blasted machine.)

-Massive bags of IC OPKs and HPTs

-Tubes and tubes of Preseed and Conceive Plus

-3 bottles of Ovulex, still untouched

-9 months worth of Clomid. My precious - if only the blinking stuff would work..!

Oh and one CB Digi test sat there, waiting to confirm a BFP - only the one, because I used the other one from the twinpack yesterday: 'Not pregnant'. Quite cold, I felt. They could have sweetened the pill a little...

Murray - hope AF forgets about us both this month.

+++++++

Lisa - hope things have settled down, I really do.

QQuaver

Toniq, May is so soon!:j Good luck:)
Chickpea, you are supposed to use a digi when you are sure you are pg and after you've tested with a regular hpt:o (((Hugs))) for BFN.
Our time will come:cool:

Apologies for butting in ladies. Some of you might remember me from a while back ...I've been TTC for years and eventually got referred for ICSI last Autumn. To cut long story short.....started long protocal in December and with a few scares later (over responded with 60 follies and risk of OHSS!) I've got my BFP. Currently 5wks with early scan to count heartbeats on 15th (I had 2 embies).

Please don't think I just popped in to gloat, but rather to say perserverence can pay off, I never thought I'd see 2 lines on a PG test and although its really early I feel blessed to get this far. Sorry to see some familiar names still here, but good luck ladies ....wishing you all the best babydust in the world:grouphug:(and a dodgy hug!)

QQuaver

I remember you cedrickerry, congratulations!:j:j:j
Was it your first IVF?
