    BZ, reckon it could be the endo. Have had problems previously with my sciatic nerve which was fixed after my last lap, but that was nearly 4 yrs ago now.

    Oh, and have that baby already :) x

    BM that sounds a crazy amount of time to wait. I'd definitely chase them.

    Didn't spot any red carnations at the GRI this week :rotfl:That's us now on short protocol for ICSI and I've to ring them day 1 of my next cycle :eek:

    Bloody terrified now. (Bit late!)

  • Hiya :) I've only just rejoined this forum & hadn't realised there was a ttc section!

    Me and the hubby have been ttc for 5 years 3 months after having an early mc. Been diagnosed with MFI and have had 2 cycles of ICSI. First cycle only had one embie to transfer & bfn. 2nd cycle 2nd transfer was a single embie & bfn, 3rd & 4th transfers were double embies and bfn :( We still have 4 blasties in the freezer but are having a little break for a few months as brother in law & his girlfriend are due a little un the beginning of Feb so we didn't want another potential failed cycle to cast a shadow on that. Hopefully having another transfer March if they survive the thaw.

    I also have 2 tiny pairs of shoes & winnie the pooh wallpaper in my stash :shhh:

    Am trying to see the wait in a positive money saving way that we can get our finances straighter before we get pregnant.

    Lots of luck to everyone waiting on their bfp :)

    I hav a gro bag but debating getting rid of it.
  • BM 2 weeks?! That's an awful long time! No wonder he is freaking out!! I don't see why it should take so long considering they have the results in their possession. I can't remember if OH had an appt or was told over the phone for his results but I'd be inclined to agree that if it was really bad then they wouldn't tell him over the phone, they would tell him in person :).

    Part Mouse Sending you big hugs as you sound like you are in real need of them. I don't know your history but do you have endo? Is it spotting or red blood? Xx

    What makes you think that? The crazy bleeding is very likely to be the pcos, especially in the absence of any other symptoms...

    I had patches of endo in the Pouch of Douglas and other areas that really made my coccyx type area painful at times - sounds like it could be that?

    I'm still not actually convinced there's actually a baby in there to come out (maybe it's just a big ball of gas??)! But I'll try ;)

    Just a quick hello from me. We're kind of in limbo, I've put off phoning the clinic till the end of Jan as I want to get my uncle's funeral and a trip back home out of the way first (although I might cave in before then). Nothing else happening. I was debating giving up bothering to TTC the 'normal' way while we wait for IVF, but DH is determined that if there's even a small chance we should still be trying. I haven't really been around as I just have nothing to report, and I'm kind of trying to put it all out of my head a bit while I get on with sorting myself out, doing the hypnosis (which I think is helping) and am also going to a CBT support type group for weight management to try and sort out my comfort eating. I went for the first time last week and felt a bit of a fraud as most everyone had far worse weight problems than me, but nobody was judgemental and I'm hoping it'll help a bit.

    I have no baby stash at all! Sounds like I'm the only one. I refuse to have baby things as it would be too upsetting. However my mum bought a doll about nine years before I was born and kept it all those years hoping one day she'd have a girl to give it to, by adoption or whatever. And she did! I think she still has the doll to this day.

    Hugs to all xxx
