    Hugs PM hope the injections start doing their job soon x

    Hugs for AF vesper x

    Yay for 8 follies T2D!

    Hooray for for your super eggs Derby x

    Really hope its implantation spotting Rowingirl fingers crossed x

    AFM feeling a little down in the dumps worried about my appointment on Tuesday that she'll just refuse to help and send me away. Probably tell me to lose weight too although my BMI is 31 so not too dreadful.

    I just feel its pointless to carry on trying when something is clearly wrong but I think I'm going to angle it towards trying to get my cycle more regular (which will hopefully get me somewhere) I just down want to be fobbed off again "bad luck" just doesn't cut it as an explanation for something which is so important to me, I don't want to have to go through another mc just for them to help me *sigh* Rant over

    General hugs all round x

    When OTD again Rowingirl?

    21 November (next Thursday), 2 weeks after ET. The nurse said I could test after 12 days but as I have an HPTK I don't want to test early and then drive myself crazy wondering if it's a false negative.

    Yay for the eggs Derby!! And Yay for the follies, T2D.

    Well, I'm glad I listened to you ladies and, ahem, forced DH to call the clinic as I didn't get a moment of peace at work this week. Turns out we have an appointment on 3 December and I just didn't get the letter.

    Now, do you think I can get my BMI down 2-3 points before then? :rotfl::rotfl:

    Rg that AGES away!! I can't wait that long for you!! If the time is going slowly for me, it must be glacial for you.

    Amazing news code!! That's really soon, fantastic. You can drop the weight but in crazy ways. I've found if you look really sad, and promise you are on weight watchers etc it can help with getting some sympathy. :)

    AFM. You remember that journey home I told you about earlier in the week. That was a pleasure compared to tonight's journey!! I was basically home then realised I had left the drugs AGAIN. So stupid. And dh had made the most amazing meal I was looking forward to. Thankfully it survived and was amazing, but I'm knackered...

    According to the NHS website I need to lose about a stone or so which isn't going to happen in 2 weeks. I'll just have to look sad and make noises about the TN affecting my ability to exercise and that I'm on a diet. So annoyed at myself. If I hadn't been comfort eating, it'd have been ok, and now there will be another hold up cause I'm a fat pie.

    Am wondering if they'll want to do hormone blood tests and so on with DH anyway?

    Hugs to everyone else. Exciting times ATM

    I could just not be so scatterbrained. I had it written on my hand the other day and it failed. I thought of it about 10 minutes before I left tonight, and yet then it didn't cross my mind until I got OFF the tube, and was just texting to say I'd be home in 5 mins. Or... in an hour as it turned out.

    I actually ran from the tube to the office and back as I just wanted to get home. It was quite invigorating. And I only dropped the phone nearly smashing it once! At least I made it home without losing my oyster.

    Bring on the weekend!

    I'm fine though. Growing me some follies, I've got plenty of menopur onboard, and an amazing dinner. Bloated up like a balloon though...

    Come on code we can do it together! Think you've got more chance than me, my BMI is 34, so very over weight and only 11 days until my appointment. However I have lost 1 stone recently and am doing all I can to lose weight and improve my BMI. I can only hope that they accept that I am doing all I can.
    But we can do it!!!!


    AF very painful, its never been this bad ever. Have had to have a water bottle most of the day, which has never ever happened before.
    Remember never judge someone that makes a mistake, because in six months time it may be you that makes the next mistake.
  • So frustrating for you T2D. I think an extra day has been added to this week as it's going so slowly. Fantastic news code, I hope it goes well.

    Morning all. Fingers crossed for you today derby.

    Just had second scan and have 8 good sized follicles. No more than earlier scan, but mostly even sized which is good I think. Trying to keep positive, although I can't help compare to last cycle where there were lots more.

    yeah, and you ended up with OHSS! 8 is brilliant.
