    Thakns codemonkey and sorry to hear your story. I am happy to take post down if that is what everyone feels... guess I was just trying to say there may be hope for unexplained.. really hope I didn't offend anyone.

    Frozen I see you are doing a fet in Oct/Nov, will you be having an endo scratch too?

    I don't think so, they didn't mention it at the appointment and I completely forgot to ask. I might make some enquiries but I don't know much about it (only what Dr Google says) - AF and ovulation is completely erratic for me so I don't even know if it's possible to do an endo scratch. :o xx

    I will be both sad and happy to see you go PM, I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy, do drop in and give us the odd update from time to time.:j

    Still waiting to hear back from the OFU about my referral, I am annoyed that its taken a whole 3 days so far without me hearing anything! I know its very unreasonable, but you'd think if you were gonna spend £5K on something you'd get a better sales pitch!
