Tea - did you find a flute in the end?

No, went to one v helpful shop with no stock and one shop with rude, disinterested staff. So bought a new handbag instead :rotfl:.

Floaty Keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes fantastically well.

Tea Much better purchase!

Code That is some odd friend, and the hypocrisy is amazing, though the idea of insisting someone does my housework and brings me food regardless of being a new mum a flipping good idea!

Smookle Thats not rude at all, I'm not going down to see my new niece but my partner is, I just cant, well, I just cant at the moment.Luckily he understands.

And I'm sure theres others I've missed!

I had the 12-14 scan today which ended up being an internal one, second internal one this week. Lucky me!
Popped upstairs and....
12-14 Scan: Nice big thick follicles
HSG: perfectly clear, no problems
21 day bloods: Perfect (this was a problem last time)
So all ready to go, Levy thyroxine raised to see if thats a problem.
Personally I also think not enough DTD is a problem as well!

Just a quickie to say thanks for the heads up re Zombies, Run! I love it!

First week back on the diet and lost 1 3/4 lbs. Have run twice and cycled to work three days. I feel fab being back on the exercise. They told me to stop both running and cycling during IVF and only do gentle exercise, which I've never had much interest in. I never got back into it and I was in such a funk. My head's clearer than it has been for months and I feel like I'm reclaiming my body!

This is making me even less inclined to do another round of IVF (which I didn't think was possible!).

Hope noone minds me posting this.

I posted on these boards a few times a year ago. After just over 6 years ttc, many failed embryo transfers both fresh/frozen and on long/short protocol we were down to our last 2 frozen embryos when we decided to have a break. Much to my surprise I am now pregnant and due in just shy of a month. My hubby's last sample was so bad there wasn't a single sperm with the potential to get me pregnant so we never expected this to happen.

I hope this helps give hope to soneone and that you all become mums soon, whatever road you end up taking

Well no surprise AF caught me on Thursday, just as I was starting to think we may have been one of the lucky ones. But obviously not. We've decided not to start the next lot of tablets straight away, as we're off on an adventure just around the time I would be due next time, and I don't want to be freaking out about it on holiday, it would wreck our last big trip and I really don't want that. So likely to be starting again in March some time.

Hope you are all ok, seems quiet here at the mo.
I may not be posting much, so good luck to anyone cycling soon, floaty I remember you are.

Big hugs to everyone xx

Nothing new here. Got one blasty on ice but don't know the what to do next.
OH is 40 next month. So best get my head round sorting something out!!

Nothing new here either. Follow-up appt after our BFN IVF cycle is at the end of Jan. Increasingly certain I don't want to have another go. Still trying the old-fashioned way, should ovulate soon for this month.

Picking up more and more of my hobbies again after getting in a deep funk post-treatment where all I did was work, go home, watch TV, go to bed. Repeat. Increasingly my brain is occupied with non babies and fertility stuff which I like.

Hi all,
nothing much here. Failed cycle follow up next week. deleted a load of new baby bombs off facebook. OH said today "do you think if I sat on my !!! all day, did drugs and drink, do you think it would work for us too". Bless him.
