Fantastic SS!

I'm here too everyday, but I'm just in the 2ww and trying not to SS. Of course I have already convinced myself that it hasn't worked again. Feeling a bit desperate about it all now and just want to be off these stupid steroids.

SS - that's brilliant! Am so pleased the scan went well, here's to a happy & healthy rest of pg for you x.

Congrats SS. Wonderful news.

Glad you have got your HSG booked in Primmer. Think it's probably time for me to 'leave' the other thread behind. Those who have been round a while (& therefore I want to keep up with) are on here anyway.

Stitches removed today, not too painful. One cut is right inside my belly button so once healed you won't see it. The other is about a 1cm cut just above line of pubic hair. I'm not bothered about a scar anyway - my bikini days are gone!

Hi Nicki, hope you are OK.

Bigzippy, how was the doctor's appt?:wave:
juju, good luck with the injections.
My work is getting in the way of ttc too:(
Primmer, massive hugs for CD1:(
SS, twins!:j:j Congratulations!!!
TTC40, are those two the only scars?

AFM, I'm on for another egg collection this cycle:o I have no frosties left (only had one to begin with though).
It took 3 EC to get one frostie, so the odds for this one working is low:(

Even if I get a frostie, the earliest I could do a FET is Dec...:( (Stupid work commitments).

I'm on one of those mild stim IVF, so I only take one femara/day for 3 days CD3-5 and 1/4 clomid/day from CD6.

Yes, that's it for the scars. Neat & tidy.

Twins! OMG, SS - congratulations

AFM, I am much more a lurker these days, as I feel all doom and gloomy about TTC - so better to just sit back and not talk!! I do love checking in and reading everyone's updates though.

But the good news from me (for once!) is - The wife and I met up with a new donor last week and he was super lovely, so I hope that things can move forward on that front. We were even contacted by a couple of others, so potential back ups. Can't really believe it wasn't as difficult as it was third time! (This is the third donor, so far though )

I am also so, so close to a positive on an OPK, I've sent him a text about meeting up tomorrow, soooo fingers crossed he will be around and free.

I have no idea what has happened to my cycle this month though - I appear to have completely skipped it and am ovulating around the time I would be, had I had a normalish cycle - if this makes any sense. Never happened to be before, so I am wishing away a bit of time 'til my next appt at hospital so I can speak with the consultant there.

Hope everyone is well and happy, and trying lots and having lots of fun trying! I kinda miss that we miss out on that part of it!

AFM - we have our consent consultation at ivf clinic this afternoon so fingers crossed we can start treatment soon. I also have my hsg booked for next tuesday so at least it feels like things are progressing. Oh and cd1 for me today

Primmer, hope it went well xx

Also is the HSG the dye thing? I am still waiting to have that done, but they have told me it can take up to 3 cycles to get you slotted in as they have limited appointment availability. I do love and loathe the NHS in equal amounts, sometimes!

<< Ungrateful wench.

I lurk too BZ for news of everyone just don't post about myself. Hope the GP can help.

I miss your posts Nicki

Grest news on the donor front 2b. Would it be wrong to be trying more than one donor at once? Will there be any contact after? Just thought it may increase chances!

The HSG is the dye thing. I had it done & found out that my tubes were blocked (cleared now with a laparoscopy last week). It's hard to get booked in on NHS as you can only have it between days 1 & 10 so there's a short window - made more difficult for those who don't know when AF will come.
