Huge hugs pink xxx

And thanks isla - baseline scan amazingly was okay! Lining was 2.8mm so fine to start stimming from tomorrow morning. x

Hi all. Sorry for cd01 Pink.

I've got fingers and toes crossed for all our PUPO ladies, so many at once!! Hope we get another clean sweep.

Yesterday I learned (re-learned!) the importance of chasing everything up. Thought I'd share in case anyone new can also learn from it! Our fs referred us for IVF nearly six weeks ago. I spoke to his secretary yesterday to confirm it'd been sent. Oh yes, she said, last week. Eh? :0

Then I phoned the clinic. They'd received nothing. I called back my fs' s secretary and got her to fax it. Just giving it a couple of days to filter through before phoning the clinic again to check they have it. How can it all be so slow?

I have no hope of the Clomid helping because all my tests show that I've been ovulating just fine. No side effects though, so I'll keep taking it anyway. Hopefully the clinic will work a bit quicker than the hospital though.

Hugs to you all, and especially to good vibes, tea, WW, FP, Isla and partmouse (hoping you find someone half capable to help you soon!)

Thanks everyone! Can't get the image of yesterday's scan out my brain - especially after the scans of the one that didn't make it back last August, which coincidentally stopped growing at 6+5.

Hard to believe it's only 2 months today since the last m/c! Life is, in the words of Ronan Keating, a roller-coaster.

+++++

Congrats on your twin Bobs Tea! Good luck surviving the wait until OTD.

Also to WW and Isla, so much activity on here this month!

FP - glad things are in course again, hope all goes smoothly.

PM - I feel for you, sorry this has all been so hard.

GV - cramping is so disconcerting, but not necessarily anything to worry about - might just be something small getting snug in there?

AFM - I have this week off work, I am feeling the work aversion thing at the moment too! I'll have to buy some more clothes before I go back - everything is too tight (not sure I can really blame my little 6+6 for that.)

Good work Floaty! Why are they all so carp at doing what they say they will?

Sorry pink, sending hugs and chocolate

I could not be less inclined to work today if I tried. I am definitely looking for a new job.

Good vibes could be the much fabled implantation bleed? ETA: You're a couple of days ahead of me aren't you so far enough along that maybe that's it? I know it's so hard not to panic, everything crossed it stops.

I hear you on the job front ww, am back at work tomorrow and dreading it. Thank goodness for a four day weekend! Am only staying for mat leave then I'm outta there.

isla_red

That's brilliant news frozen! :T

Floaty glad you've got some movement, it really is worth chasing things up. Hope they get a move on.

gv fingers crossed it's a little dot snuggling in

chickpea hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy yay for your little 6+6

tea how are you feeling?

AFM still sleepy a lot of the time but feeling livelier as the week goes on.

tea_lover

I think the last time I was lively was about 1998 :rotfl:

Feeling v calm so far! I even let the cat out on his own...such a difference from the utter hysterics of his last trip out lol. Although have to admit that I'm happy he's now home and asleep on the sofa with me.

I read that laughter helps implantation (worth a try!) so am making the most of my last day of freedom and watching a ridiculous amount of sitcoms.

How are all my pupo allies??
