Shan- 10.5 hour shifts!!! What the?? You poor love! I often feel flu-y with clomid, don't worry it goes away in a few days (well mine did). Glad AF finally arrived and that you o and next AF is 9 months from now!!!

Mez- Lovely to hear from you! 20 weeks, oh my gosh, it doesn't seem like that long! Glad all is gong well for you!

Hope- I have had problems with reoccuring thrush, which has now dissapeared! My advice, sleep without any pants on, change towels every day, and (it's gross I know) try natural yoghurt 'down there'. The natural cultures neutralise the yeast and fix it all up. I've never done it, but my sister swears by it. It's also totally safe in pregnancy etc. I've also taken those tablets which balance out the good and bad bacterier.. I can't remember the name of them...inner health plus? They are at the chemist in a little fridge near the counter. Have you tried the caniston type thing? The cream and the pessaries for three days? If I get really bad, they always get rid of it. HTH, I know how frustrating it is, especially when you need to be DTD every second day! I'm pretty sure you can still have lap if you have AF, I think they prefer it to be as close to AF as possible becasue then there is no chance you could be UTD. Maybe ring the doc and check?

Tammara- Thanks so mcuh for the info about the safety net, I wondered how that worked. I just passed the safety net (from the D&C probably) and I got a lot more back than I was expected. So if we have to do IVF, at least that's one positive, well that and the chance for a baby of course!

Pumpgirl- How are you? Have things settled down?

Porsche- thanks for the IVF lingo training! I wondered about some fo those. EPU always confused me...Hope you're well!

Hi to all you girls we haven't seen in a while. Hope you're ok!

AFM: Nothing new really. I looked after my 3 nephews today, plus my DS, and I don't think I could have 4 kids. Two 7 year olds, a 3 year old and my 15 month old nephew were a handful! The baby is lovely though, although he's going through a biting phase and everytime I said 'no' he howled at me! I'm such a mean aunty apparently! I was good practise though, I'd forgotten about the world of changing nappies, highchairs and bottles! My sister deserves a medal I think!
I have to ring my old FS and get my medical records released so I can take them to my new doctor, and I'm a bit nervous about it. I don't know whether I just ring reception or whther I need to speak to the doctor, which I don't want to do. Has anyone ever had to get their medical records from anywhere? Any advice?
ANyway, I best be off, I've got to ring and get some quotes for concreting our backyard! Finally getting rid of the mudpatch which has been there since we built the house 4 years ago!
Bye
Bec
