    Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been around for a while

    Rob – Thank you for your words! This forum is a great place, even if like me, you don’t write often , to read other people going through the same thing as you, is very useful.

    Brunette – We all have our bad days, and sometimes a good old rant here is just what you need. A few of my good friends have just had babies, and when they told me they were pregnant it was so hard. Luckily they are overseas, so the distance is easier for me, and I could take my time in congratulating her.

    Trubabe, the pups are gorgeous! How was the IUI? Hope you are resting? I am sorry to hear about your mum. Sounds like you have had a hectic December so far!

    Juniper – good luck with blastie transfer

    To everyone else, hope you are all doing well, and wishing everyone a good week ahead

    AFM, no AF yet. I have slightly discoloured mucus, but that’s it. FS said to go in tomorrow for blood test Estradiol, to check my FSH levels... So much for going on the pill to regulate my cycle, it just seems to have messed it up more

    babytruj the iui was painful as my cervix didnt want to do with it was supposed to so FS had to grab cervix with this hook kinda thing and i ended up with a pierced cervix

    trubabe, oh no, that's the last thing you need! I really hope the biopsy shows it's benign.

    Brunette, if you want company on your picket, just let us know!

    Morning Ladies

    Trubabe so sorry to hear your news I hope everything works out ok with your mum

    Brunette I've had 2 FET and they are ok its like doing an IUI you just go in and they insert. The things I've done are excatly what you would do for any other cycle but I also read about trying to take a brisk walk before the transfer it helps get the blood flowing. I also have acupunture done and take some chinese herbs that taste horrible but if they help then I'm happy to take them

    AFM - jusy a bit of a rant. Well my body has decided to change its cycle yet again. I thought I wouldn't have enough time this month for another FET as I have been ovulating day 17 for the past two months which would have meant I missed the transfer dates before clinic closes, well surprise surprise this month it happened today back at day 14 agggghh. Thought about telling my FS today but then thought against it I really haven't looked after myself too well been indulging in the festive season and don't really want to waste my little snow bubs

    Trubabe - Sorry to hear about your mum. No doubt the last thing your family needs just before Xmas.

    Terry - Thanks for your tips about FET. I will definitely go on a brisk walk beforehand. I have heard about acupuncture helping women to conceive. I can't see your signature while composing a message; are you from Brisbane, by any chance? Because I've never had acupuncture and I don't know who is a good person to see ...

    Juniper - Thanks for your offer to join me on the picket. I think QFG should organise a picket - we'd get hundreds of people!
