    Welshpolarbear, yay congratulations!!!:j
    Which date can I put your BFP as? How are you feeling?:wave:

    I got my tlp on 28th November (at 10 dpo - shhh) Only did it as it was oh's b'day so please let me off this time! Nice little present for us both.
    I did about 4 more tests in the week and a half that followed and got the gp to do one 2 weeks later! Just to make sure all was ok!

    Feeling exhausted and really quite sick (never got the sickness last time) but I'm not complaining in the slightest. Thanks for asking :)

    As for you, I missed the IVF news while I've been away, I'm keeping my fingers crossed so tightly for you. Thanks so much for the amazing work you put into this thread. :A

    Well its CD1 for me which means I am officially out of the TTC game until DH has a more stable income after his redundancy
    :( Hope he gets an even greater job asap and you get to come back and play really soon! :D
    Bigz, I hope SA comes back with a positive result and fingers crossed you get your BFP v.soon.
    Thanks :) Me too :o
    Not sure really - just been a bit :undecided::eek::undecided::o. I feel very on edge! Can't describe it really but I certainly conked out last night - not even any dreams.
    I'm also in that waiting for positive opk but nothing seems to be happening :(.

    Thanks for all my hugs & lovely comments ladies. I don't feel very brave and there are definitely braver & better people on here than me :o
    Could it be all the things/feelings/memories that TTC (and waiting for/getting +ive on OPKs) is bringing up for you..? Glad you managed sleep last night :) What CD are you on now?
    In non ttc news, I paid off the last of OH's debt this am, a loan from a car he and his ex missus (:mad:) bought yonks ago.
    Hurrah for debt free! :j What were you waiting before TTC again, I've forgotten now...?:think:

    Thank you, ahh that's nice - you must be psychic! I'm praying for a forever baby, and I hope you get yours very soon too. Like you I'll never forget our lost baby but it's nice to think she's helping look after for this one right now xx

    Thanks :o Keep us updated on how things are going [STRIKE]or I will be forced to stalk you[/STRIKE] :p

    emsbet, I'm scared of oving before the egg collection (they have to get the egg out before I ov):o
    I suppose if I see the surge, I could jump back to the clinic and get them out before I ov.
    Better dig out my huge stash of OPKs... I'm going to the clinic tomorrow.
    Sounds like more reason to use OPKs, not less! :naughty:

    ;)

    Good luck with it QQ :)

    I wonder if my Christmas spirit is hiding in a glass bottle or two... :think: cocktail.gif

  • We are waiting till mid to late next year to start ttc, but I think earlier rather than later as I am knocking on a bit and not sure how long it'll take!

    I start my new job in Feb too, so want to give that a bit of a go first too!

    Well, if your cycle last time was 47/48days (from memory?) then you probs ov'd around CD33/34 -give or take a few days, so you may have to wait a week or two for the +ive OPKs :o hopefully you'll manage what I'm doing and get it a few days (or more!) shorter each cycle :) Try not to get too down

    I see. I guess it's really difficult when they aren't inducing ov with drugs. Do you have far to go to the clinic? If you are doing it without drugs this cycle does that mean they only get one egg? Tell me to mind my own business if I'm been too nosey :o
    It takes an hour to go to the clinic, but it's only open in the daytime. I don't think they can retrieve my egg on my whim though:o

    This clinic takes smaller eggs too, though that is usually too immature to be of any good. Sometimes the eggs are at an awkward place where they can't reach, so it's not guaranteed. They only do local anaesthetic (:money:), so they can't force their way everywhere:o

    No egg or no usable egg = no need to pay for the full IVF so :money:
    We'll just try it on the next cycle:) The clinic recommends doing it for at least an year, and something like 70% get a baby:cool:

    I said this last year :o
    I may have too:D But this time I mean it:cool:
    inside my jeans (only really works when you're sat down :p)
    My jeans are too tight:p
    I seem to get EWCM (or similar) for about a week/10days before I ov, (I think it's the PCOS, my ovaries fight for that long before it actually releases) but as my cycles are getting slightly shorter each time I can't afford to assume this time isn't important :o
    Your cycles getting shorter is great:cool:
    I got my tlp on 28th November (at 10 dpo - shhh) Only did it as it was oh's b'day so please let me off this time!
