oh my god, we've had a thread explosion since my last visit - I have to catch up!

Ferrals, think the appointment is a good idea psychologically (and we all know what a mind game this whole IVF/TTC thing is) so that's good to have sorted. It's like the white pants/no tampon thing but in reverse - as sure as you make the other plans, you won't need them! Let's hope so anyway. Grow little embie, grow! Sticky vibes en masse to you x

Hello Crafty, come on, we have to stick together in this no giving up palava - you don't know if this month is a write off yet, let's just wait and see some more OK. How exciting about getting the keys to your new home!! How's the packing going?

MatthewsMum, Been thinking about your post where you said your doc thinks you are peri-menapausal (sp?) and just wondering why...you're only 40 after all. Have you tried using Clexane after the transfer? We used it last cycle and it helps with transplantation so maybe worth asking about?? Will you do any medicated transfers or are you sticking to the natural ones? I remember doing a few of each - I think the odds are pretty evenly split on the outcome of either so I guess no meds is good if you can help it. And thanks for asking after my friend, she seems to be making a good recovery - she is still in a lot of pain but resting up. Things will improve for her now I'm sure, she's put up with a lot for a long time so time to get back to her old self again.

HappyBaby, good luck with your TWW. Let's hope you and Ferrals kick start our BFP breakout. Fingers crossed!

Kaybee, that's certainly an odd thing to say to you, I mean seriously, what could you possibly do if that were the case? Weird. Hope you are doing OK, is the worst of the bleeding over now? I hope you get your sticky bub soon x

Sunbeam, how's the movie marathon going? Any recommendations? How's the ms? Did you find some ginger lollies? I lived off ginger for the whole 8 weeks I was pg - ginger tea, fresh ginger, ginger lollies and found peppermint good to. Thinking of you

Porsche, hope AF has shown her witchy face now. Onwards with the FSH - can I ask what dose you are going to be on?

Mildez, of course no one is going to die! But I do remember having different versions of that convo with my DH. And to think some dumb arsed idiot out there tonight is going to get drunk and end up UTD. What a weird parallel world we live in here!!

T-hopes, hope you had/are having fun on the Gold Coast and enjoying being on holidays. Yeah, the things we celebrate here - honestly if my chart is behaving, I feel so proud of myself and if it dips, I get terribly disappointed! Sad isn't it?!!

Well, saw the FS this afternoon and he thinks yes, definitely try again and that my pg in Dec was a promising turn of events after so many years trying so give it another shot. Pathology came back normal, no genetic abnormalities so on one hand that's good but on the other, why did we have a mc then? He said at my age 40% of all pg will mc for various reasons but hey, if we were scared of odds like that we'd never try so not worrying. We discussed doing short and long cycles and have decided on a long one (which is what I've always done in the past) so...we will begin in the middle of August!!! Yah!! AF arrived today (2 days earlier than usual which freaked me out - I've never had a 26 day cycle before and not sure what that is about given the huge improvements in every other respect this month on my chart) so when she comes to visit again in four weeks I'll start the OCP then off we go. I'm excited and glad things are finally moving. Also proud of myself for giving the diet a go and sticking to it and for DH quitting smoking and just feel that if it doesn't work we can look each other in the eyes and know we've done every possible thing to try to make it work. But hoping that it does again!
