The Trials & Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

At least I kind of knew it was just my body messing with me, and didn't test. I don't think I could face another single line...

I'm having AF's, the problem seems to be that they don't complete properly. So I always bleed, but not enough. It's only become apparent after I started IVF scans which showed old free blood in the uterus. Before that I thought I was having a normal AF.

Re #penisbeaker - I'm avoiding it, as a quick look made me snigger! I will look when I get home!

See, that'll all be sorted when you move back to Australia because you'll be upside-down.

T2D: I'm glad things went better at your appointment but grrr to AF being tricky. I'm an October cycler (hopefully), so I'll be your buddy if you like!

Part Mouse: Congratulations on growing a lovely follie and lining. Good luck!

I've just been speaking to my CCG about whether I can add the embryoscope as an extra to my NHS cycle...fingers crossed they say yes. I don't understand why they wouldn't say yes if we pay the difference, but sometimes the whole red tape and protocols baffle me anyway.

Now I'm just waiting for the consultant to write up my protocol and I've booked in for my injection lesson...this is all very, very surreal.

And just to go back the acupuncture conversation a few days back; am I the only one who gets needles in their bottom? My very sweet chinese doctor has to pull my pants down to do them and got very confused one day when I wore a thong! That did make me chuckle! He didn't know whether he should still pull it down (he did).

And to top it off I fell asleep during my acupuncture last night and started snoring...oh the shame

Yippe PM, well done! Does that mean that you and DH will be busy over the next few nights?!

Derby, good luck for your cycle when it starts! Exciting times.

T2D - grrrrr to AF. its rubbish when its a wee bit late, but you just know by the signals your body is giving you, that its pointless to test. I refuse to test now, just wastes a fortune in HPTs. But, great news about the plan! even though it means a wee op, its great that you should be able to start IVF so soon. :j

hugs to all you other lovely ladies, xx
