Haha Tiger wrecked the end of the last thread by posting the 1000th post whilst I was typing out a mega post including a link to our new home! Hope everyone manages to find they way over Grin

I'm exhausted from sorting out the list so I'll be crashed out on the poufée of possibility. Please keep the noise down - especially you unicyclists!

Welcome back spare, are you on meds for your FET? (Sorry don't know much about that process)

I'm trying not to get my hopes up again! Still feeling a bit Sad after the last one, because I'd whipped myself up into an excited frenzy only to be told it wasn't happening.
No meds yet, but I'll be on baby asprin from Monday, then prednisolone from FET day onwards. They tried me on clexene last time, but it was too bloody painful, so I gave up after day one. So I've got a week's supply of clexene if anyone wants it!

Thanks! Dildocam on Sunday to see how hospitable my environment is looking. It should have been Saturday, but I'm going wedding dress shopping with my brother's girlfriend and thought that was much more pleasant

Oh! And DH called it 'dildocam' in front of the FC last time we were there. Worst thing was he didn't seem to bat an eyelid, so it clearly wasn't the first time he'd heard it called that...

Yay! A new home Grin thanks for adding me to the list! I can't keep up with this thread! Well done on PUPO pipbin fx for you. And great news on your embies lumen Smile so much is happening! I was at acupuncture last night and my lady said she had a lot of women cycling at the moment. I never answered your question, bushy - I find acupuncture painful at times (my muscles are very tense apparently!) but I do feel relaxed once the needles are in.I like chatting with my lady as well, some 'me' time Smile Back to the clinic tomorrow for the dildocam (lol!) And bloods, I might learn my EC date!

Hope everyone else is doing well.
