@Mrsmch123 yes, I'd give them a call. They should be able to give you the results over the phone. They did with my DP and then he just called in for a printout so I could see the results with what was what etc. Xx

Gah, just typed a reply on the old thread... So my reply is out of sync... Sorry!

@squirrelnutkins1 and @Kelly199 my scan is 6th June, the hsg I need to book when af arrives, so sometime in June I'd imagine, hysterscopy is 15 August. Then back at the clinic in early September.

I'm seeing the counsellor again in 2 weeks. She discussed trying guided relaxation but said she'd bring me some resources next time.

@Kelly199 are you a similar cd to me? How you getting on?

@squirrelnutkins1 it's tough when you're waiting. Glad you've got something nice planned this evening. Hopefully they steer away from baby / children questions. We're off to do an escape room tomorrow which should be good.

I've sidestepped a group friend meet up, my closest friend suggested everyone meet at the equivalent of a wacky warehouse 🙄 I politely declined. Internally I'm just thinking wtf?!

What's everyone else got planned for the weekend? X

Wow a 1k done!!

Sorry I did read through but it’s hard to write a reply when I can’t scroll up to see the other comments!

All those that aren’t feeling great big hugs!

Those with appointments coming through scary but exciting times it’s another step closer! I know you want it to happen naturally but at least you are moving forward with help xx

@kelly199 I’m ok thanks injections are fine just wondering when af will show should be any day now however o don’t have my usual symptoms but I’m guessing that may be because the medication is shutting down those kind of things! Only symptom is spotty skin! How are you?

@venusStarr love am escape room! Just seen it’s you with the appointments least you know they are there and not to far away xx

Me and dd are going on a horse riding hack tomorrow which I am really looking forward to!!

Hope everyone else is ok xx

Haha thanks @2fingers22018 😍 I'm so pleased I took the plunge and made the thread, wouldn't be without you ladies now!

Hope the escape room is good! No plans this weekend, just chilling and packing for my hol in a week (So excited!). Had a call from the clinic about DHs sa, but it was a little confusing so I'll let you know what it said when it's emailed through. Until then we are just going to eat drink and watch Eurovision lol. Have a good weekend all x

Evening all! So the side effects have started I believe! Woke up last night with a night sweat! Then hot flushes for most of the morning seem to off settled down for the moment! Hope it’s not like that every day for the next 3 weeks not sure how I’ll cope!!
@2fingers22018 lol it’s not so much for the adults however I think they allowed in there to help the small ones get around 😂 but would be good if it was for adults 😂😂
@cloudSway sounds like you have it all planned out!

Hi all hope everyone is okay. I'm in the fertile window now so hoping for a productive month. Me and DP both seem fairly calm about it so far but still time for me to stress that we cant/haven't dtd enough.

@finallytakingtheplungewithivf how are you feeling today? Sorry for my ignorance but what are the next stages of the process for you now? I am a bit unfamiliar. When will they transfer and what happens in the run up?

@veeboo all the best for this month! I'm on day 18 and according to my app this is my most fertile day but I don't believe it lol! Managed to dtd every other day since day 8 and will continue all this week so hopefully we'll have covered all bases 🙏🏻
We've booked a little hol for a few weeks time so got something nice to look forward to 😊 x
