Hello ladies. ..

Just checking in with you all. Its been a good few months since I last posted.

I'm currently in my last 2ww following IUI .. next stop is IVF.. the referral is just being done now, we've chosen the unit where we would like to go. Sorting out our finances in case the NHS try is unsuccessful. Its been an absolute rollercoaster the past few months. .. and we still have no answers as to why this is not happening for us.

If anyone has any IUI questions. .. I'm happy to answer any. I've done 3 cycles with FSH injections and a HCG injection followed by 36 hour IUI.

I'm sure I'll have alot of IVF questions over the next few months.

Congratulations pickle.. that's fab news!!
Sad to see many familiar names around.

I hope everyone is well.
Lots of love xxx

Just sneaking back on to say that's great news Pickle, so pleased for you. I know the process is hard and scary (I know someone who has gone through it) but you know it's so going to be worth it! X

Hope everyone is doing ok. Good luck Kellykins.

Good luck Kellykins, here's to hoping it's third time lucky.

Hi ladies. How are all of you? Well yesterday was testing day for me on my second frozen transfer and I got the news I genuinely wasn't expecting - a positive test! I genuinely never thought I'd see one of those.
I've been to the clinic and my blood tests are fine so I now have to wait two weeks for a scan. Think I might go mad in those two weeks. I have lots of cramping which clinic assure me is normal but is doing nothing to make me feel optimistic. So if you don't mind I'm not going anywhere for a few weeks.
Thank you ladies for all of your support in the past four and a half years. It's been a horrendous journey, but I'm still standing.

Hi ladies, hope you are all ok.

Choc, if you're still around, I'm so sorry to hear your news, look after yourself and OH xxx
Cwtw Congratulations! wishing you a healthy few months xx
Pickle, how exciting about your news, hope everything goes smoothly xx

As for me, well we had our first appointment with our clinic last week. They have put me on metformin because of my pcos, and I'm waiting to find out how bad they really are! After being bombarded with information for two hours, we have agreed to start treatment in September, as my OH works away occasionally, and has weeks away booked in both July and August, but business quietens down by September. So its really going to happen. And I'm really quite anxious about it already. I think it's just the unknown, and that we have no control over the end result. I apologise now for all the questions I may throw out there!

Hugs to everyone (as there's no wine allowed round here now )

Hi Ladies,

Wondering if I could rejoin you? We had a boy by IVF in April 14 after several years, and have been TTC No 2 ever since. I am very fortunate to have him, I know, but I still feel a kind of grief. I have PCOS, have had irregular periods post partum, but some positive ovulation tests. Hubby has poor sperm on all accounts, so a natural BFP is unlikely. I need to lose a few stone before we can consider a frozen embryo transfer (we have 3).
Sorry to see so many familiar names here, time2deal, PartMouse, Pinkteapot, Lisawood78, Tealover you were all a huge comfort when we were TTC No 1.
Congrats to cwtw and good luck to Primmer!
Happy to answer any questions I can (we were at Seacroft in Leeds).
