    Primmer, 6th of June is very soon! Things really are moving forwards:j

    juju, I've never tried to laughing thing so may as well give it a go. When I had my (only) ET, my bladder was so full, if I laughed, I'd have burst:o The current FS doesn't want full bladder so I thought I may as well give it a try:)

    Bigzippy, (((hugs))).
    With the amount of blood you are having, it does sound as though you may have ov'd.

    BZ - huge hugs honey (())
  • Its gone very quite on here, think it must be the lovely weather we are having!

    Just wondered how the other ladies in the 2ww are? I think I was imagining the cramps I thought I was having the other day, just like last time I feel nothing so I'm not holding out too much hope. I really need to find my pma again!!

    Hope everyone else is ok x

    Morning all. I might do a pg test today as although I had given up this month (no symptoms, very dodgy chart on fertility friend - it only just put my line in this morning and reckons I oved three days ago, SO not true) but then last night as I was going to bed DH said casaully 'you're not pregnant are you?'. He reckons my boobs have changed (he's often been first to notice when I've been pg before).

    I feel a bit worried as I missed a day of my steroids and I've been drinking loads of booze over the weekend, so convinced was I that it was all off this month. Ach well. Will get a test at lunchtime and report back... kind of hard to tell too as I am not quite sure whn I oved.

    It has. I'm thinking of booking in for a consultation at CARE Nottingham to start the IVF/ICSI process. I want them to extract and check Hubby's sperm first though (If this is possible). Because if his sperm is no good at all, I don't want IVF/ICSI with donated sperm (would rather just make a private arrangement). Does anyone know if that's possible?

    They will discuss the options once they have done tests after the initial consultation.

    Have you seen your GP? My GP arranged the SA for my hubby (saves you paying for it).

    Hiya

    I have also lost my PMA.

    I've turned into a complete nightmare. I was symptom spotting all of last week, even though i had my FET on Fri 18th so would not have shown any symptoms anyway. became an emotional wreck at the end of last week, then since fri/ sat i havent felt/ seen any of the symptoms i thought i had.

    Trying to compare with my fresh cycle which resulted in a BFP, but didnt note any symptoms then as i didnt believe it would happen. And now i have talked my self into a BFN. I just cant face getting my hopes up for them to be smashed.

    Now i am getting AF type cramps so preparing myself for it. But don't really know when to expect it. :eek:

    Hope you are doing ok sillysausage. Thinking of you hun. Try to be positive. Easier said than done i know.

    How did you get on Sarah? did you test?

    Fingers crossed for you primmer

    Thanks for your help. Is SA a sperm assessment? He had that done at Docs from ejaculation and it was zero. I can only surmise that after his allegedly "successful" reversal it sealed up, like they warned could happen. I wanted it extracted and tested first to see if it was ok to use for IVF/ICSI. I didn't want to have tests until I'd found that out. Oh well, can't have everything you want I suppose.

    Havent compared Results for a long time,but when I had My IVF Nurture had higher success rates for IVF / ICSI than Care.( although CARE were leading the field with immune issues)
