Hmm... definite PMS attack here. Have just cried at a story I read about a cat that needed a blood transfusion .

Once tried to get a sample of blood from our cat so he could be a registered blood donor. Vet shaved him but failed to get blood. Idiot cat had a bald patch but nothing to be proud of

Booked our holiday! Yay. Been trying to get away for ages but so hard with uncertainty about my ongoing treatment. Now confirmed operation next week, then squeeze in a week away, then back to start ivf. I'm so pleased!!

We are both dying for a break after a long summer of non stop work/doctors etc. Yay!

Yay for holiday T2D - it always seems that bit nicer when you get to the really needing it stage!

Was fully expecting full on CD1 this morning but not there so far. Had a bit more red spotting last night but nothing since. I usually spot for a couple of days but it's never been red before. Definitely feeling PMS'y so fully expecting it any minute.

Bit concerned though as still only 11dpo.... really hope I don't have to add LPD to the existing list of cr.apness.

Gutted doesn't really cover it I don't want to have to do IVF again.... *stamps feet*

Excellent news about the holiday t2d!

Tea - keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Little me and PM - how are you?

Did another OPK this morning and it was much darker than yesterday....

Oh how I long for this to be a HCG test and not a LH!!!

Hi Mrs Davo

I'm good thanks. CD13 today so BD starts tonight! I fell asleep on the sofa last night so really couldn't be a*sed. Also got to the point that no matter how many attempts we have it doesn't work so will go for a quality BD rather than quantity!

I have had 30 day cycles for the last 2 I've been on 100mg clomid so guess if I do ov will be around day 16-20 so loads of time yet.

I've done the calculations from the SA test results have worked out we have a chance of 66,000 out of 220,000,000 - not sure what the odds are but they're pretty slim!

I'm lurking around but not got much to say - nice to read everyone elses comments xx

Just read the above article. Ignore the stupid comment section but makes interesting reading x

So how do they do EC then? Makes it sound like a totally different process but surely if there was such an easy and painless way of getting the eggs out they'd be using it by now. Am confused!

Just catching up after being away.

Big hugs PM, hope things are starting to look up.

Fingers crossed this is your cycle Littleme.

Spotting too. Was hoping that our FS referral might have an effect but not so. Our first appointment is Tuesday morning so hopefully we'll soon start treatment.
