    Tentative congrats Gelly, keeping everything crossed for you for tomorrow.

    Code - might be worth checking with the dr, but they should be able to repeat if any doubt.

    T2D - really sorry you have been so down. Hope the darkest times have passed and your feeling a bit better. What will happen to the frosties when you go to oz?

    PM - how are you getting on, any sign of ov?

    WW - how are you getting on?

    AFM - not much happening here TTC wise. Just waiting for AF to arrive so I can call and arrange to DR.

    Hugs to everyone and sorry to anyone I've missed. Xx

    Oh Wonder Woman, I really feel for you and your OH. It's such a difficult and emotional time - big hugs to you and Code.

    Had my CD21 blood tests last week so still waiting on the results but HB has finally booked in for his SA - but they can't do it until end of January. I think he genuinely thought he just calls them to say he's done it and is on his way in so he's a bit shocked it's so far ahead (or at least if feels that way to us).

    Currently on CD29 and still no sign of AF although I've had some symptoms of her arriving.

    FF said today is test day so I did an IC this morning and I think it might be the slightest TLP - even HB could see it too. Holding out until tomorrow morning to do the CB digi in the morning - eeeek ;o)

    I don't seem to be able to focus on anything today - it's bonkers!

    If I didn't know any better, I'd swear I was pregnant. Feel dizzy, sense of smell heightened, thought my pepsi tasted funny (DH said it didn't but I tipped it out because it tasted of mould), I'm grumpy and DH's aftershave is making me feel sick. Is it possible that the Provera has made my body have a natural progesterone spike and that's why the bleeding stopped?

    Also, even though I know it's not possible, part of me is hoping that they tell me they see a tiny person in there when I go for my scan on Friday - can I still do that if I'm surfing the crimson wave?

    Morning all

    Can't quite believe I'm posting this but I've got a BFP!!!! Oh my goodness - 14 cycles of TTC with not a hint and here we are, 1 week before Christmas and we've got it.

    CB digi says 2-3 weeks and I'm pretty sure that's accurate going by my dates too.

    Strangely, I'm feeling a little different already but not sure if that's the butterflies of excitement and the perma grin on my face - really hope I don't give the game away as we need to wait until scans, etc.

    Ladies - I know I haven't been a frequent poster on this thread, I moved over here last month but please do not ever give up hope! :j

    Congrats Gelly!

    Well,it's over for me..again..at an early stage, just shy of 6w, I woke up to a river of blood and gore this morning. Lovely timing, happy Christmas to me..

    I'm a little bit stunned, but I'm only going to allow myself to mope for a day or two this time. It is what it is.

    F*ck 2013.

    Oh honey. I had a little cry at this. I'm so sorry for you, I know we were all hoping this was your forever baby. Have you got someone there to look after you?

    Just got back from hospital, DH had his varicocele repair this morning. It was ok, a bit uncomfortable and not exactly painless but the recover time is only a day and he'll be back to work tomorrow. The surgeon seemed hopeful that it might improve things a bit and I've read stories on the internet where people got their BFP shortly afterwards. Trying not to be too hopeful though. I also phoned the FS and left a message saying my BMI was back to where it should be and I want my referral now please.

    Congrats Gelly, fingers crossed all goes well for you x

    Oh Chickpea, I am so sorry to hear this. Massive hugs to you. Is your DH still away? Do you have someone to look after you? Allow yourself to mope as long as you need. Like Angeltreats said, we all hoped this was your time and I'm so sorry that it's not to be xx

    Angel, pleased to hear that your DH's surgery went ok and that it wasn't too painful. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and fingers crossed it works and you have your BFP soon. xx

    This journey is so painful for us all, sometimes it is all too much. I honestly don't know how we find the strength to deal with it all.

    And I totally agree - F*£K 2013, it can go and ram it!

    This. Apart from the whole infertility thing, we have had a bad bad year. Illness, operations, redundancy, our lovely Grandma passing away, my parents' car accident, oh I could go on and on. I can't wait to see the back of it. Still determined to do my best to make Christmas festive though even though it's only the two of us this year.
