Star - glad the follies are coming on ok

PM - hugs for continual bleeding and still getting nowhere

Code - sending you massive hugs, hope your dad will be ok

Ladies I need to go for bloods on CD1, 2 or 3. Started spotting last night but no red blood still - I can get to the hospital for bloods today but they do not open long enough to get there tomorrow and don't open over the weekend. Should I go today (hopefully more of a flow will happen throughout the day) or do I wait until Monday and risk it being a day late? Thanks

I was told the start of cycle bloods can be done on cd2-5.

code didn't want to read and run, huge hugs to you what an utterly rubbish year it has been so far. I really hope that it starts to improve for you soon.

Claire - thanks for that info, I held off yesterday which I think was a good decision, least that will give me a few other days to get the test done.

FP - I meant to say before thanks for taking over the lists

Tea - I could do with your OH speaking to mine, still not done his first sample as we need to wait til the school hols when I can get it to the hospital still warm, and every time it has been mentioned he has become awkward

Picklekin - I don't think symptom spotting ever stops, even if you don't mention it aloud.

Oh ladies, am so very low today as if this will never happen for us all the hope I had with my first cycle I am struggling to hang on to and feel such a mug for taking for granted that my body would do what it's supposed to. Having a real "not fair, why us???" moment.

This really sucks.

How is everyone else doing today? xxx

Oh WW I know that feeling all too well. I've tried to banish it from my mind this time round, negativity never helps anyone right? Before we started I thought why are we doing this, why will this time be any different to the other 9 times but I've tried to change those thoughts in my mind to why not, it can happen, it happens all day everyday to people and I'm going to be one of them!!
Try to be strong, try to rest and keep yourself occupied if at all possible. Where are you in your treatment again? (Sorry, can't keep track!)

SIL just about to arrive to do my injection then got to sort myself and the dogs out then off for my first scan (day 5 of stims) and first intralipids drip, not looking forward to that but will take something to keep me occupied during and sure I will survive!!
It's Friday people :-)

Big hugs WW, I think we've all had days (years!) of that feeling. I find trying to talk myself out of one of those moments doesn't work, so I try distraction instead. I tell myself it's ok to feel negative for now, then I try and focus on something else and hope that my mind sorts itself out in the background. Although as we all know, thinking about anything else isn't the easiest thing in the world.

Today I am focusing on the fact that it's both friday and payday

Grr, just to add to the crappy doctor thing (again not ttc related). Just been to see the doctor to refill my meds. Saw a locum and asked her if there was anything that could be done to combat the weight gain side effects. First of all, I had to explain what my condition actually is. Then she denied there were weight gain side effects, until I pointed them out on the list and then said "Of course, lots of people like to blame their medication for being overweight and we don't have a magic pill". I pointed out that I'm on a constant diet and work out and walk everywhere and she just shrugged, even when I asked if there was any particular diet plan that would benefit patients on this drug - like low GI is good for PCOS. Plus all the pain, and the stress of my dad and the windy, cold weather today have triggered another pain attack, so now I'm feeling like a fat, loser who deserves the pain.

WW, I've had those feelings too. I think everyone who isn't lucky enough to get pregnant within a year has those feelings constantly. Hugs.

Huge hugs to you ww and code, life really is unfair

Thanks ladies, no-one else understands. I swear if one more person tells me to "think positive" I will not be responsible for my actions! It's the equivalent of "just relax" !!

Lisa I'm still down regging and feel as though I have been forever! Hope it's good news at your scan let us know how you get on. What is the drip part for?

Tea, I find it hard to talk myself round too (although therapist says I should be able to, grrr) so will aim for distraction instead. Creme eggs are on you if it's payday

Code - GP's are so f**king rude - it honestly makes my blood boil. What other profession would get away with speaking to people like that? I know if I did it to my clients I would not be employed for very long! Losing weight is hard full stop and when you add all the drugs and stress into the mix it feels nigh on impossible, don't listen to them honey. Is there anyone else you can see? You definitely don't deserve any of this, hugs right back at you.
