    Vic- oh no, that no good at all. I wish i had some words of wisdom for you but all i can say is I really hope next cycle is your BFP.

    Jane- It feels wrong to say it, but I hope AF arrive for you tomorrow. I know how good it feels to be doing something again.

    N2L- I hate the not knowing when AF will arrive so i hope the spotting was a good sign AF is on its way. I'm flying blind this month, prior to starting treatment my cycles were 34-38 days but because of treatment i have had a 27 day cycle and a 22 day cycle so now that I'm not on any meds this month i have no idea when to ecpect AF and it really sucks.

    Andie- Hows the TWW going? how long until your test date?

    Keta- So good to hear your doing well. Don't give up on your DH changing his mind. To be honest when I first went to my FS I was adamant that I was not doing IVF and even told him so, but the more I read about it and the more I understood what the process was the better i started feeling about it all. With a little push for my DH I have finally made the decision to go ahead with it and finally excited about starting something new. In the meantime i'll be hopping you get a surprise BFP.

    Hi Mia, Joeve, PlanetSasha and everyone else I missed. Hope you are all doing well.

    AFM- I've got nothing. FS appointment on the 19th so just hanging out and not so calmly waiting.

    hi yall..... feels like I am so totally out of the loop where everyone is at - I feel like I have been MIA - but this is the first time in about two weeks that I have managed to get the computer open for NON-work related task - my new - after hours - job is scary and SOO much more work than I expected!
    Oh well...

    anyway.... I apologise for the all about me post, but I do try and pop on my phone and answer questions as I see them, so I'm sorry for no detailed personals - like I know I have a habit of!

    I had my 4th BT this morning and - yay! I'm surging! So ET is on Thursday - they will call me on wednesday with a time

    this is the one

    gunna get my jiggy on tonight and wednesday - so if the little blob doesn't stick we have given ourselves the chance to do it naturally as well... .shhhhh.... i know.... twins right!

    Mia - I get AF at around the same day as I normally would... I just figured my EPU and ET were at about the same time that I naturally would have popped anyway..... so both times I haven't even got to BT. I checked with the nurse cause I thought the Crinone was supposed to stop AF - but no... she said it didn't stop AF from arriving....
    FX for you!!

    Mrs Mac - breathe!! you'll get there!! I had a list of questions for my 1st appointment after unsuccessful IVF and barely asked any of them anyway! My first appointment, I didn't have anything! You are way more prepared than I!
    I think next time I go back - I will ask the question "why" (ha ha... I know he won't be able to answer properly... but) I want to follow up with the question - can we/should we do any more testing to check if there is anything else I can do.....

    N2L - you are so smart..... you always seem to have the answer...!

    Joeve - good luck with FS - you sound perky and upbeat about it.... that's good... I was depressed and miserable with all of mine...!

    extra big vic - nothing else can be said - it all sucks... have to be reasonable about it... but at the same time just want it to happen now!!!

    oh... there's too much for me to look back on, and i've been on the comptuer for hours... I swear I will catch up properly soon.... maybe.... in a couple of weeks at least when thigns die down!!!

    Mrs Mac I had this appointment booked it since the beginning of last clomid round which is why it seems soon! I figured we would either be talking ivf or birth! This appointment DH ( he is actually coming along to this one even after my tanty to the receptionist as it's a day off for no action iykwim!) and I will talk through what our steps and protocol will be and then we make nurses appointment. Ho hummm that's it I think. If AF hasn't shown up I imagine I will be prescribed more drugs! I will let you know if the appointment is different to that after Thursday.

    Myturn I am far from perky and upbeat lol I had a set of rolling eyeballs after that statement which you probably can't see on your phone

    Mia - how are you going? I'll be joining you tomorrow in the 2ww!

    Jane - welcome back I hope it's only a short stay!

    Myturn - I will have my fingers crossed for you!!!!

    Andie - how are you going? Thanks for the tip on the clexane, I have managed to stay reasonably bruise free! I had to take it in the car on Sat night, I won't do that again I had my first bruise.

    Hi N2L, Keta, Kashby, Joeve, Mrs Mac & anyone I have missed!

    AFM - I have ET tomorrow morning & the removalists arrive on Wednesday! so busy!!! I'm hoping at least by being busy the time will fly by quicker

    I hope you all had a great weekend!

    oops.... Joeve.... I'm on my computer... and managed to read the words - and ignore the smileys!! sorry!!

    tbh I find it weird when people seem excited for me... I mean... seriously!! I had the nurse where I go for Laser Hair removal (yes... another side effect of the PCOS) almost jump up and down excited for me cause I had alrady had two stim cycles of IVF..... all I could do was smile politely.... I really like her.... but obviously she has NO IDEA!!!

    Even after I had all the appointments and was ready to do with the IVF, I cried the day AF came... and for 3 days after!!!! Starting the cycle doesn't bother me now... in fact, it's exciting now! But then.... well.... then I was lamenting the fact that I HAD to do IVF... the option of natural birth was done... now I just cry every time there's a BFN....
    so.... this week is a good week! lol.... no tears!.... so far!

    Good luck PlanetSasha !!!

    So excited for your surge myturn. Absolutely stoked!!! FX this is it for you xxx

    Thanks Pholi x

    Thanks for all the hugs girls. Actually I am doing surprisingly well. Its amazing how blase you become with hearing a negative for the last 15 monts in a row. Its definately harder when its an IVF neg, but after the dissappointment of the day, I find I just get back onto the band wagon. I went to our local gym last night and got prices and looked around. I think I am going to try a spin class tomorrow night. DH is away for work and i have to fill in the time somehow. Heaven help me! It will probably kill me

    Congrats Sasha!!

    Hi to everyone else

    I need some opinions...

    For the past day and a half I have had the smallest amount of bleeding but just when I wipe. No need for a tampon at all.
    Not sure whether to count this as AF??

    The reason it's a problem is I am meant to have BTs on day 2.

    Thoughts???
