Place marking. Hi to all, sorry I haven't been posting much. Still settling back into work after half term, which, although huge amounts of fun, wasn't exactly restful!
Seems like a lot of people are struggling at the moment. 
mega I read your post on the last thread and wanted to give you a big squeeze. Apologies if you are contact-phobic, but I'm coming in anyway!
Pug A while ago, you asked after Alfie 
He is doing well thanks! He's still bandaged up, but went for a dressing change on Monday and it's healing really well. He goes back again on Friday. How is your little monster?
Oyster I loved your post about meeting your DH! I met my DH on Match too, and it was the best thing I ever did! I didn't let the grass grow either
Rainy I have my fingers crossed for your results 
When do you get them?
Welcome to Knickers
nympho Sorry for AF, but yay for the name change!
Queen Hope AF stays away. I remember what Knicker Watch feels like; I was Chris Packham on crack when I thought AF might be coming. Like a rare Cetti's Warbler, she's never shown her face...
Waves to everyone else Boris, Nomio, Dizzy, BabyBump and everyone that I've missed.
I have my consultant appointment tomorrow afternoon at 2pm. Hoping for clomid, but they might not offer it as we haven't been trying for a year. There is clear evidence of lack of ovulation, lack of AF and lack of just about anything else though, so I'm hoping that they will suggest something.
Have been really fed up this week, and have diverted my attentions to obsessing about getting another greyhound. I've spotted a lad on our local rescue's website and I really like the look of him. I think I just want something to mother. He is gorgeous though, and our two are 9 now, so they're not getting any younger. Trouble is, they aren't small dogs, and with the vast majority in rescue coming from a racing background, they haven't been pets in homes and have been kennelled, so take some settling in. Ours were housetrained from the off, I'm not talking about that, I mean that they are not used to anything! Stairs, televisions, hoovers, doors etc. are all strange to them! So it would be a bit of a culture shock for the greyhound and for us (especially as I'd had both of mine for nearly 4 years already when I met DH, so they were settled, confident, secure pets by then and not scared, strange ex-racers. I think that, maybe, if nothing has happened for us by the summer holidays, we might really consider it though... 
We'll see.

Gin and lemonade for me naff all going on here! except for ridiculous amounts of sex for a 38 year old to be having, and the trouble is the more dh gets, the more he wants 
Before ttc, I think we were easing off to about three times a week (in the good old days I sometimes had to fake an illness to get a day off) now it's all he thinks about, it's like he is 18 again! So it's not quantity we are lacking, it must be quality!!!

Oh Rainy I think it's only natural for them (and us) to jump to the most difficult possible scenario. I changed what I typed then- I did type 'the worst possible scenario,' then I thought better of it. The worst possible scenario would mean that you and your DH weren't together, or didn't love each other enough to carry on trying month after month. We all have that don't we? We are very blessed really, even though it doesn't feel like it sometimes. Still, FX that he is worrying about nothing.

Place marking.
Doctors appointment tomorrow morning to discuss DH's SA result of zero sperm. Been researching waaaay too much and I'm really anxious but holding the tears back.
Welcome knickers
Rainy DH told me he feels less of a man now and I've caught him a few times looking really sad, I guess for men this is really important to them and their self-esteem. Good luck for Monday
Lucie any news/updates with your treatment?

Nympho, I love your new name. How is your dad doing now?
Knickers, love yours as well! Always good to see a new face too. Good to have another old un here too!
Ibeka, I stupidly POAS earlier at 8 DPO! 
I think I will try and leave it at least a couple of days before I try again.
Eskimo, good luck for tomorrow. I would stress that even though you have not been trying for a year yet, you are not ovulating on your own & clearly need help to get things started.

Oh twinkle . Good luck for tomorrow. Did you look into counselling? Our fertility unit had leaflets with contact details on - might be worth giving them a ring when you're both ready?
for Rainy too - Fx for Monday.
