Assume it was DildoCam? (as it's called around here!!) First time? Not sure if this reassuring or not, but by the end of IVF you won't bat an eyelid at it.

So true you get to the point where you're stripping off as soon as you're soon the door. Which can be embarrassing when you remember you're just there to speak to them :rotfl:

Yup. Went for a smear a few months ago and the nurse went to pull the curtain 'to give me privacy' (in her office with a closed door and no windows only to discover I'd already removed my knickers and was assuming the position. At this point there have been so many medical professionals up in there, that it all seems perfectly normal. The hard part is avoiding doing it if you're seeing the doctor about something else.

Hi Ladies,

Yes it was a DildoCam and your comments made me laugh. Sounds like I will have to get used to it all. I am sure I will be a pro at it in no time

I hope your weekends were ok. I have been spending my Sunday afternoon baking and I have a beef stew in the slow cooker. I can't wait for dinner. I am starving and the house smells lovely.

Hi guys.
Sadly I'm back, our little man was born asleep on Friday at 16+4. I'm still in utter disbelief and shock at the moment. I keep wondering if this was the last chance for us, another 3.5 years would make me 46 and we were at the end of our options with the fertility specialist, although I have 1 lot of Clomid left. I think I need to take time to heal and recover as things didn't go smoothly and I needed an op, and then we cross our fingers and start trying again.

Oh, Selina. I am so, so sorry for your loss. Utterly unfair and particularly so at this time of year. Take time to heal, and take things one day at a time. xx

So sorry Selina. My thoughts are with you. Take care of yourself X X X

Well I've got my bags of drugs ready to start again on CD1 early January. This time round we'll be doing a frozen egg transfer so at least I don't have to go through the stims part again. I think we're now in our fourth year of TTC, just feels like it's never going to happen

Hi all,

Selina, I am so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself xx

Ellesbelles, fingers crossed it doesn't cause too many problems.

Chocoholic_chick, good luck with this round. I have my fingers crossed for you.

As for me, we are now waiting for the letter to arrive to say that we can start IVF. My OH has been to have his sperm frozen and he very proudly told me that they could freeze 6 lots which apparently is the maximum they could freeze. I had to buy him a few beers and a takeaway because he did so well :rotfl:
he is also planning to have Christmas off next year as I could be heavily pregnant by then and he wants to look after me. Whilst it is very sweet, I don't want to get my hopes up yet. Hopefully he won't be too disappointed if there is still no sign of a baby by next Christmas.

I hope everything else is going ok with you all xx
