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. :A0 -
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! 
ThanksBigz, I hope SA comes back with a positive result and fingers crossed you get your BFP v.soon.
Me too 
Could it be all the things/feelings/memories that TTC (and waiting for/getting +ive on OPKs) is bringing up for you..?

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
What CD are you on now?

Sounds like more reason to use OPKs, not less!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.

Good luck with it QQ
I wonder if my Christmas spirit is hiding in a glass bottle or two... :think:

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
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

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:oI 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
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 may have too:D But this time I mean it:cool:I said this last year
My jeans are too tight:pinside my jeans (only really works when you're sat down
)
Your cycles getting shorter is great:cool: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
