Wow, loads of activity on here in the last few days!
First and foremost, welcome back GG! Sounds like taking a break from MN was just what you needed . And it sounds like the IVF is going swimmingly too though the hot flushes don't sound like fun. If you're injecting you must be stimming yes? If so I hope those follicles are growing nicely . Here's hoping you have as eggscellent a time as MOB did (can you tell I'm happy to have an eggscuse to wheel the old egg puns out again ). I'll be keeping my fingers firmly crossed that there'll be no gin for you for a very long time to come . It looks like ICSI is our next step too though am taking a few months out to get my head and body (and finances!) in order, so am eggstra interested. Did you do anything in particular to get ready?
Ei I'm so sorry to hear your sad news . It's awful to lose someone you love, and I'm thinking of you and your DH (and DD) and all the rest of your family at this sad time.
MrsH oooh implantation dip and triphasic! Please post a link to your chart (you know me and my chart stalking tendencies ). I'm still so happy for you (as is MrCaitni), though it's perfectly normal for you to be anxious until you get that scan. But your remaining tube is healthy so I'm going to stay hopeful that this little bean (or beans, god knows you might catch twins from MOB and RFN2 ) settles in snugly. Also loved those affirmations from your CD - may look into that one myself .
Bucky hope you're not too jet lagged after your red-eye and sounds like you had a fabulous time in Miami . Here's hoping the law of pregnativity works for you too
RFN2 (or should that be RFN2and3 ) that's great news about your scan! Must have been some surprise to see them but I'm glad to hear that your pregnancy's going well
PnM glad to hear that horrible tonsilitis is on the way out but still major at your GP and her amazing telephonic diagnoses (not!). I understand that GPs must get a lot of hypochondriac patients but taking more than a year (I'm hazy but are you at nearly two years now?) to conceive and not miscarry is just not normal and needs proper investigations. From my brief skimming of the PCOS threads (back when i thought I must have it because I was convinced there was something wrong with me ) it seems like you need to be persistent. Perhaps changing GPs is an option? I had a horrible GP when I first moved to London, and stupidly assumed this was my lot in life until my DH moved over from the states and was allocated a charming and efficient GP so I switched and my life was transformed. And since then I've had no qualms about researching GPs surgeries and expecting quality treatment before I register with them...the HFEA has a handy clinic search so you can use your postcode to find clinics. I lurk on the assisted conception thread and NappyValley on there really rates her clinic in Southhampton (I think, or maybe Portsmouth? My English geography is atrocious ). On the quackolgy front, I saw a post on here recently that said wild yam and sweet potatoes were like nature's clomid (or something ).
Big to Jollybear and Mibbes - lovely to hear from you and hope your babies are thriving.
Not much going on with me. Am trying hard not to spend too much time on MN as want to get some headspace back from all the ups and downs of the past 14 months before we take our place on the IVF rollercoaster. But shall be keeping an eye on you all and keeping my fingers crossed for lots of lovely BFPs (and healthy pregnancies!).
