Oh cyclebuddy Onestep - AF has just arrived for me too!

Some time ago someone posted a poem on this thread about how much we'll love and cherish our children when we're finally blessed with them, I dont suppose anyone knows what that poem was ?

I'm one of the ones who had a painful HSG, but the good news is the pain stopped the instant they stopped pumping in the dye. I didn't have any pain after either. I had an immense blockage though, so the pain cam with the silver lining that we had found a problem that we could do something about...
Yes, remember to have a pad in your knickers before you go in, it's there ready for you then. And I think you have to have someone to drive you home too.

CD14 here and first peak on cbfm...very exciting! Does anyone else here use a cbfm? Is the first peak day the day you ov or the second peak day?

I think a third ov on the first peak, 2/3 on the second and the rest on the High after the 2 Peaks.

You know, after the first Peak, CBFM still asks for the sticks but does not read it, and give you another Peak, High and Low automatically?
So don't feed the sticks:money:

It is starting to get a little spooky..! Especially since my cycles aren't even 100% regular - I think the last one was only 26 days.

The clinic says to have a fallow month between treatments, so that's what we're doing.

And to be honest - I'm going to try to think of 'other things' for a while - mightily sick of the whole subject at the moment!

Good luck this month - you just never know..

what 'other things' are you going to try to think of? I'm going to spend the next 12 days immersing myself in yoga (that's the plan, anyway..) I started doing a weekly class in April, and LOVE it.. so I've ordered a DVD and I'm going to try and do it every day.

Turns out I'm a bit bendier than I thought Can't do the splits though :shocked:

The 'other things' I intend to try to focus on this month are:

Books - I picked up 'Room' by Emma Donaghue (sp?) the other day and it is absolutely brilliant - I'll try to find a few more good books. I put in an Amazon order last night to start.

Cooking - I'm obsessed with baking at the moment! I keep making things that I can't eat myself (unless I want to lard up!) I bought another lovely baking book (from River Cottage series) that has lots of lovely, easy recipes in - I want to start using up a pile of fruit + veggies that all my allotment-owning friends have donated - I have a recipe for marrow muffins and another for upside-down plum cake that I am going to try tomorrow.

Cleaning! Boring, but therapeutic!

Weight-loss (see cakes, above). I have just started the 3 day 'A-HA' diet, because I put on a few pounds in the last month (well, at one point I was eating for 4..)

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

We are going back to the clinic for a post-mortem so to speak on Monday. At that point I'll collect Gonal-F for next cycle - and pay the bill (£750) for the failed cycle just gone.

I'll still be on here tho - really want some good news from some of you soon...

Sorry chickpea and Onestep that AF arrived, keep at it.

Sorry Tyler I don't where the post is for that poem.

Sending hugs and luck to everyone else. I have my appt today so I am looking forward to that to see where and what to do next.
