It's me nice work, hope you're resting up and feeling better soon. Great news on the tubes since as you say, although IVF gives you the best chance with male factor issues, there's still every hope of a lovely surprise as it just takes one extra determined super swimmer to get up to those lovely clear pipes - much more challenging if the route is completely closed!
Sammy hope you have a fab weekend and def have some extra
on my behalf! Ever closer to your FET, so excited for you. Remind me cos I am crap, are you planning a natural or medicated cycle?
trixie I agree entirely re Humira and IVIG. Women who have them will claim it was that which got them pregnant - but would the cycle have been just as successful with less dangerous interventions. Dr sher writes a lot about immunes and he says they're both unnecessary and says intralipids are just as effective as IVIG. Which is also cripplingly expensive at £1600 per drip. My friend seeing Dr G has dropped £15k on her immunes treatment thus far. Yes she is successfully pregnant but it is very possible she would have had the same result without the IVIG - and that the intralipids, pred, clexane and Gestone would have done the job nicely. Oh for parallel universes to help us make decisions!!
mpp get to Monday and I think the temptation to POAS will be uncontrollable. Have a mental image of a Dr strangelove esque battle with myself, with one arm reaching for the FRER and the other arm pulling it back trying to resist 
lucie and trixie I'm inclined to agree about testing early, although it feels bad going behind DH's back,I think we just need to do what we need to do to keep ourselves as sane as possible (or minimise the insanity!) Especially as the first time I'll have done a HPT will be this cycle, to have a BFN practice run seems like a sensible idea.
My consultant was brilliant re all the pain meds, we first went to see him for pre TTC advice about the implications of my medical conditions on TTC and a future pregnancy, and he referred me to a colleague of his who quite literally wrote the book on prescribing in pregnancy, one of only 6 consultant obstetric physicians in the country. Whereas obstetricians specialise in the reproductive organs of the mother / health and delivery of the foetus, obstetric physicians are doctors who specialise in the management of maternal medical disorders - so exactly the right guy to see. He was actually far more interested in making sure my epilepsy was well managed than in my pain management, but he really knew his stuff about what could and couldn't be taken safely. He said I could take tramadol and oxycodone in a second and third trimester but not during a first trimester when the embryo's organs would be forming. He said to come back and see him asap if I did fall pregnant, but may be that we go back and see him anyway even if this one doesn't stick, to see what's reasonable for our next 2ww (as we plan to go straight into a FET so would hopefully be having a transfer before end of Feb. Well not hopefully, but you know what I mean!)
