Your last thread got somewhat derailed so I thought I would treat you to a lovely shiny new place full of real open fires, fluffy blankets and an aga for baking bread and warming soups and stews. Back on with the job in hand ladies, lets have a round up of who's doing what and when.

Scarlett 4 weeks down! I'm wel jel Envy I still haven't handed in my notice. I only did my police and health checks on Monday. I have to declare the IVF so I'm expecting them to want to see me in occupational health first so I think it will still be a few weeks till I can hand in my notice and I've got to work 8 weeks notice. So I'm looking at end of January now.

Well done on writing to the medical director, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I've been getting some tips from the egg buddies thread on questions to ask. As long as the consultant doesn't request any further investigations I should be good to request treatment on my next AF. But that would coincide with having treatment over Christmas when they are shut down. I'm then next due on on Christmas Day so I won't be able to request as they are closed. That means I might not be able to request until the end of January. I'm not happy as my appointment should have been on the 20th cot but it was cancelled otherwise I could have requested this AF. I'm going to speak to the consultant about it as I don't think another 3 month delay is fair due to the appointment being moved.

Have you started mat leave yet Keep?

Fox how are you? Did you get all your results? Sorry if I've missed anything

ScarlettInSpace · 08/11/2013 09:20

Right I'd better get up who am I kidding I love being on notice hehehe

ScarlettInSpace · 08/11/2013 09:19

keep because the nurse changed us from minimal stim to maximum stim when we went for info session before last IVF, and max stim has been linked to abnormal eggs [like wot I got] I have said we didn't receive the course of treatment we agreed with our consultant so I've requested funding be reinstated to allow us to have what was actually agreed. Am not expecting anything to come of it but my dad told me years ago If you don't ask You don't get... Wrote to pct originally and they told me to write to clinic.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 08/11/2013 09:13

That's brilliant news Cups. Things always seem sk much better when a plan of action is in place.

Only a few more weeks Scarlett!! Sorry your bodies messing you about. They never cease to amaze.

Hope you're having a lovely holibob Geek!!

keepitgoing · 08/11/2013 09:02

Scarlett not long to go now though till you finish your job :) What have you said to the director? Sorry I can't remember...

fox how are things?
too when do we find out if the stealth shagging worked?

ScarlettInSpace · 08/11/2013 08:52

My update is I pulled my finger out this week and wrote to the director of the hospital (he is also the director of the fertlity clinic) about my funding.

I've done 4 weeks of my notice so far and I am booooooooooored.

Cycle wise I'm on cd22 and yesterday randomly got loads of EWCM Confused my body has seemingly given up any pretence of being normal altogether now.

beedle hope you're ok love

How's everyone else?

GreenOlives · 08/11/2013 08:46

Good on you cups! Good to go armed with all your questions so you don't forget anything. Smile When's your new job start?

Thinking of you beedle, hope you and Mr B are as ok as you can be.

Hope everyone else is doing ok too.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 07/11/2013 22:29

I've got my review appointment next week before starting our next IVF. So I've been reviewing my notes I made during my last cycle and making a long list of questions. I'm not leaving that appointment without a plan Smile

Bfn Sad

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 06/11/2013 06:33

Good luck for this mornings test Beedle xxx

Thanks everyone, I don't think we left it too late either. We started ttc when I was 28 but clearly some people think we did. Oh well I can't be bothered to even get annoyed about it.

Geek sounds like you all had a lovely time. I'm so glad it went well with MrGs so.

ControlCreeeaaak · 05/11/2013 21:03

Beedle honey all I can do is echo what everyone else has said. Ouchie to the idea of a plastic applicator! I bled from just the fanny candles but firk me their rear ends were sharp!!! I'm glad you don't have to deal with the conference on top of ivf, I think you handled it the best way possible. Lots if love and hugs to you xxx

Maybe the meeting with mrg's son was a-maz-ing. Utterly brilliant. On the saturday we met up at 1.30pm, and were still eating, drinking and talking gone midnight. Loads more I could say but I'm posting on my phone and already fed up of undoing the work of my imps fingers.

I can also confirm that boo, toddly boo and booby are just the most utterly gorgeous, wondrful company. Booby is now intimately acquainted with my own boobies and most perplexed that they don't work Grin

Too, belated congrats for your 30th, so pleased to hear about your extended celebrations. That's how it should be done!!!

Cups well done on getting through the weekend. I'm glad your lovely friend continued to be so senaitive but I'm so sorry for what you overheard. I couldn't have resisted saying something, so well done you xxx

I'm really sorry, I can't remember what anyone else wrote :( oooh can'remember who asked but my hair is a (hopefully) natural looking mid brown now :D

Love to all, will do a proper post when I'm back at home on the laptop xxx
