    Thinking of you Chickpea.... so many hugs to you xxx
    Remember never judge someone that makes a mistake, because in six months time it may be you that makes the next mistake.
  • Oh Chickpea I'm so so sorry, thinking of you (and all the other ladies having a truly awful time of it).

    Rowingirl how are you doing now?

    I have not logged in for what seems like forever but I see big fat congratulations are in order for W2DN, T2D and Peonie (if you're still reading...) I wish you all the smoothest of possible 9months.xxx

    Chickpea, sorry about your MC. I don't know much about recurrent MC, or anything actually but I have a friend who was given progesterone until 12 weeks as she also had 3 MCs. It's worth asking your specialist about it and having it in for WHEN you get pregnant again.

  • Hi Wonder Women how are you? I'm ok just trying to stay calm and (slightly) hopeful.

    Still have brown spotting but it seems to due to the cyglogest rather than anything really sinister.

    Had a 1st birthday party today which made me a bit teary but generally we're ok (or as ok as we can be).


    Isla, have they given you any indication of when you might be able to start?
  • Hugs to all.

    Huge hugs chickpea. I hope the mc specialist has some good advice for you.

    A question to ladies who have gone through ivf or going through now.
    Wanted to know what time do you take your buserelin in am or PM.

    I took my 3rd today and do it at 6:50 am in morning as I have to leave home by 7 am. But I am reading in many forums that they are taking evening. Does it matter which time I taking them?

    I took buserelin am, everything else pm.
  • T2D... Could u change my status... As per my last post (I didn't think anyone had noticed it :cool: lol) my stupid GP has FINALLY referred me. Won't go into the details as obviously my last post was so long winded everyone fell asleep, hence no replies or acknowledgements (LOL only kidding!)

    thanks xx :o
    Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?
