    PM - really sorry it didn't work for you. Like the other ladies, I hope its the kick start your ovaries need. If its not, then I hope your FS has a plan for you. :grouphug:

    Lucyloo77 - I remember reading about what you went through at the clinic, nightmare! Hope your little frostie is one that sticks x

    PommeVerte - welcome:hello: Hope your stay is short!

    danielley - hope Wednesday comes quickly for you x

    purcy81 - sometimes you just can't be bothered to do it, which is all the more frustrating when you know you should be doing it cause its time! Hope you find some energy to get jiggy!

    re jobs - I am very fortunate in that I love my job. I work for a medium size UK charity for a cause I really believe in. I really appreciate that I am lucky to be in this position and can't imagine going through all this in a job I hated. Big, big hugs to those of you in that position as it would only add to the stress.

    One thing I have learned through this whole TTC journey is not to put things on hold though. At the start, I was like 'oh we can't book that holiday in case I'm pregnant then' or 'I don't want to agree to that weekend away just in case I'm pregnant' or 'I'll not get that dress I love for a wedding in 6 months, even though its on sale now, cause hopefully I'll be pregnant then.' I really feel like I put my life on hold for so long, just waiting for something that has so far not come along. I know that jobs are a much bigger deal than holidays and dresses, but I hope you get the principle. You spend far too much time at work to be miserable there.

    Easier said than done though, I do appreciate that! (don't want to sound like I'm being all preachy!)

    hugs ladies and hope everyone has good weekend. I've got my niece's 1st birthday party. trapped in a room with 30 babies and 4 year olds for 2 hours will test whether I really do want a baby! :rotfl:

    Can I join the pity party?

    Just called the hospital, it's didn't work :-(

    My progesterone score on 50mg was 2
    Score on 100mg last month was 40
    Score on 150mg this month is 4.

    They've cancelled our review on January and have asked us to go in on 5th of November.

    Sat in tears.

    Mrs Davo - Massive hugs. At least you don't have too much of a wait for your appointment and you can get the ball rolling for the next stage. x

    I wish I had known this at the start of TTC, turning nice invitations down/ hold off plans makes getting a BFN at the end of the month even more depressing.

    I still can't say I dont put things off, but I weigh up the pros and cons first rather then blanket saying no.

    Mrs davo so sorry you didn't ov, so unfair huge hugs to you.

    No change for me start again as expected in a few weeks, not looking onward to 2 months of injections.

    PJs/biscuits sounds good to me - count me in!

    I'll be there too. Not just ttc is rubbish but my lungs have packed in. Can't breathe....

    As for jobs, I like mine, but think the stress of it is REALLY impacting on ttc. And my health. Argh. Definitely time for a pity party. _party_

    Unrelated to TTC - can I just say aaarrghhh... Just stupidly cost myself £65 for nothing. Stupidly managed to pay twice for car hire car insurance. They verbally said 'fine no insurance' but charged me anyway. And said 'sign here' which I did. Now they have my initials against a very faintly printed note saying I accept to pay for the cover. I didn't notice the cost as it was wrapped into the refundable fuel deposit.

    And of course they simply say I must have agreed to it. I already had insurance! I showed them that and they said 'on, well maybe you wanted more'.

    Annoying. I should have checked and double checked and triple checked. And flight delayed. I see wine in my future...
