Just wanted to wish all you lovely ladies a Happy New Year! Let's hope that 2015 will be all our year

After being a couple of days late and having what I thought may be pregnancy symptoms, AF turned up at 5pm.....b*tch :mad::mad:

Today is the day my healthy eating diet starts along with my DHEA capsules so hopefully by April my eggs will be of fantastic quality . Good luck to those about to start a cycle & hugs to those that need them xx

smookle - so sorry, life is unfair at times. Sending hugs your way.

Random question alert ladies..... this probably isn't the right place to ask but then, I'm not sure where is.

Has anyone else gone back on the pill, or thought about it? We certainly won't be having any more treatment and I'd assumed that we'd just carry on (v occasionally!) DTD for fun and if anything happened, great. But I'm really struggling with the hugely long and unpredictable cycles. Am currently CD60 something again, with no sign of AF but evil PMS for weeks on end (I just cried my eyes out, proper bawled, at Miranda). My skin is awful, my moods are awful.... I'm nearly 36 and sick of feeling like this. I also really hate not knowing when AF is coming, feels like I can't plan holidays or anything.

There's a teeny, teeny chance I'd get pg naturally (my eggs are cr.appy and refuse to leave, OH's sperm is very thin on the ground and mis-shapen, and we DTD once every couple of months).... so it's not as if the chances would fall much if I went back on the pill, there's no chance anyway!

But it seems so final. I'm really torn.

I considered it not long after I started TTC, but more because I got cold feet for a while (and I've gained weight and spots since coming off!). It is your choice and it may seem final but if it's what you want to do it is a less permanent option when compared to IUDs, the implant or various tube-tying.

I really feel for you when I read your posts, tea. Here's hoping that this year is a lot kinder to you, and all of the lovely folk on here

It's a tough one tea, especially as there might still be a tiny chance, but at the same time I sympathise about the irregular cycles - AF has arrived on my past 2 holidays. I have no idea when AF is going to arrive. In my case, I'm not allowed hormonal contraception because it makes me crazy, otherwise I'd consider it for the convenience. But then again, we have no chance at all.

That wasn't any help at all, was it?
