Thought it was time we had a new home, seeing as we've almost outgrown the old one. So in honour to Scorpio, Sybil, BB and toomuch (hope I didn't forget anyone ) here we are - in the company of pregnant (and cheerful) ladies

Gilly Our first appointment is next Monday afternoon. Am currently trying to get hold of various test results to take with me - with limited success, I have to admit involving to-ing and fro-ing between the GP and consultant's secretary. My HSG results don't seem to have made it on to anyone's system yet, though I suppose the ACU will just have to write to the hospital and ask for them directly if I can't get them.

Also got a huge envelope of information this morning from the ACU which mentioned that DH will need to do a sperm sample before the appointment. (I'd specifically asked about any tests when I booked the appointment and been told nothing would be done) Just have to break the news to him now!

I didn't think I would get it as I'm really too inexperienced to do the job, but it was worth a shot

Gosh, looks like I missed all the fun last night! Sadly, I was even older than all of you when Dirty Dancing first came out.

Gilly Glad the IUI and interview both went ok. Thanks for the offer to meet up - may well take you up on that if I have to go back for any appointments on my own.

Didn't get it - got an interview but was up against 7 others who were older/more experienced.
I have had nearly 2 weeks off for this (all A/L) but the clinic have written me a letter signing me off for two weeks, so if this cycle doesn't work I shall probably be approaching HR to claim back my A/L. Having siad that if it doesn't work we won't be able to afford a holiday, so there's little point in getting A/L back. Next time we do IVF I will only take a few days off for the actual EC-ET period and fit scans in around work, then get the clinic to sign me off afterwards.

Still mooching around at home. Not feeling too much either way. It's weird I have to keep reminding myself that it's not over yet, because we have no more appointments I am sort of thinking we've finished IVF. Not that it's failed, just that the process is finished IYSWIM? Expect next week I will be a bag of nerves though!

at National Treasure 2 sybil
We can watch Beauty and the Beast together this afternoon if you like?
Bella I'm not snobby about Oxford (or any of the posh unis), it's just that my lil sis went to Durham and she had a JCR - we only had a union at my uni and I used to wind her up her about it

I can't believe I missed the opportunity to have a girlie dirty dancing night in with you all!! And yes, I do know all the words. I also think the bit were she feels his bum (lucky lucky girl) is the bit I would reproduce with PS given the opportunity.

I am so pi**ed I missed this now! And to think I spent the evening watching National Treasure 2 instead. What a waste!

scorpio1 · 04/06/2008 09:07

3 of my classmates have just finished there. so you can be normal and go there, lol!

BellaBear · 04/06/2008 08:11

JCR Bella? Which posh uni did you go to? (said in a light-hearted jokey way, of course!:P)

Gilly I would have thought she'd have had a super posh one (rich DH) One like the Houseman's as Max (Kellerman) says to Doc Houseman that he's saved the best cabin for him - so guess Vivien's would be near that?
Bella - Glad I'm not the only one who was sweet and innocent. I couldn't understand why my Mum was cross that BF's Mum had let us watch it as I didn't 'get' the more 'adult' themes. I can't say how many times I watched it before it dawned on me why Doc Houseman was cross with Jonny because Penny had a tummyache!!!

I can't belieeeeeve I missed this discussion!

nomore - "I was 9 in 1987. First saw the film when I was about 11/12. Totally missed the pg/abortion storyline though" - I was 8 and me too!

I organised a showing of this as my college's film evening for my birthday. Usually it was some arty film and at most two people would be sitting in the JCR watching it. My birthday - practically every girl in college came and we all brought our duvets down and spoke along with all the dialogue. Memories, memories!

And the soundtrack! Oh, you've got me started now.....

glad the typing errors aren't just limited to me!!
One thing I still haven't worked out though - at the end (after the last show rehersal) where Baby's sister goes to sleep with Robbie, then he's obviously got another girl in there and she runs away, then we see Baby and Jonny kissing/cuddling outside his room, then Vivien sees them - well has she (Vivien) just come out of Robbie's room or somewhere else?
