    Big, big hugs for you RG xx.

    Am still ss'ing, even though I know that's beyind stupid. Was awake early again today (4.30am today). Am in that v annoying part of the cycle where you convince yourself that every little thing must mean you're pg... waking up early, increased cm, couldn't get enough of the smell of the cupboard with the bathroom cleaner in it, gone off sandwiches.... hardly conclusive lol.

    Have had loads of cycles longer than this in the past (not for about 18 months or so though), I never did get a +ve OPK, and we DTD maybe a couple of times (with v dodgy sperm)... so let's be honest, it's not likely.

    Just want to get started with IVF again now.
  • You could try my trick tea. Buy a test, af usually showed up within hours... :)

    Yeah that's definitely worked for me in the past! Seems like as soon as the pee hits the stick, AF starts.
  • RG So so so so so so sorry. Gutted for you x
  • RG - I am so, so sorry to hear that. If I was with you now I would give you a big hug as you deserve one xx

  • PicklekinHope your appointment goes well tomorrow :)

    Vesper I agree with the others that you should write a complaint as it's bad enough cancelling once but 4 times?!

    Lisa that sounds promising, good luck! :)

    Frozen Good luck on your scan tomorrow

    SewIt How did the phone call go?

    AFM - Embryologist called today so out of 8, 5 fertilised & I'm having a 3 day transfer on Saturday. After eating healthily for the last 3 months have had a McDonalds and a Dominos over the last couple of days, back to "my body is a temple" tomorrow :D

    Hugs to anyone I've missed xx

    Hugs RG, wishing you all the best for your future plans

    Good luck with the injections love actually

    Hope AF arrives soon tea

    Just had my appointment letter confirming my appointment with the fertility specialist,it is for me and my partner which I didn't realise when making it as the emphasis had been on me. Now this is where we are going to have difficulty as I am now going to have to try and convince him to see about getting the afternoon off work (plus still need to actually check I can attend myself). Did you ladies always have your OH on side and willing to attend?
