    Hi to those who are on my thread on the pets board. I give you lot the secret wink when I see you on other boards. I always know it's you but don't want to shout out "hello, infertility buddy". :rotfl:

    You guys, this is so weird. I got a bfp last night!
    It feels so unreal, I keep thinking I've made a mistake.
    We've been trying for more than 2.5 years - I don't know what to do with myself now. I'm booked in for a hycosy next week!

    Thank you all so much for your support and advice. I know I've not posted that regularly but I can't tell you how much it's meant to know that other people are in the same boat - it's made me feel like a bit less of a basket case!

    *squeeeeeee* clevernamehere!!

    You've given me so much hope because we're now back to trying naturally (3.5 years in) and aren't keen on trying IVF again.

    If it were me, I wouldn't cancel the hycosy until the last minute allowed by the hospital's cancellation policy as I'd be so scared of jinxing things!

    Thanks for sharing the happy news and giving the rest of us unexplained ones a boost. :)
