Hello all.
Mad Mut Welcome ! (But sorry you find yourself on the shit boat !) I don't think there can be any objections to having private tests along NHS ones to speed things up (in fact, the NHS would probably thank you for it !)
FabiOne I've only just properly read your name - I think I always write Fabio ! Sorry to hear that you have been through the mill with it all. I do hope you are feeling much better. Am afraid I have zero experience of Laps or endo removal - but if (as I understand they would) some of your womb lining was removed I wouldn't have thought it would be completely implausible that it would delay your cycle (errr .. maybe I should just shut up and stop giving medical advice that I am certainly not qualified to give !) It must be a man thing with Miranda as my partner has a complete irrational dislike of her ! I've watched most of the episodes on my own on the i-player to avoid him chatting throughout it !
Caiphirinas Tell the interviewer to stuff their gravitas ! I would really struggle at an interview now - I haven't had one for the best part of 10 years !!! Hope CD1 has arrived .... !
Not Now Did you manage to book any open evenings ? I must let you know that - after a flurry of visits to the Agora this week (I've had a scan every other day) - so far I haven't been able to fault them. Since our last cycle they have got quite a few new members of staff - and consequently appointments have been on time, the nurses have had longer with you on each consultation, and any phone queries have been responded to promptly (all of these factors were small bug bears but which left an overall bad impression of the capabilities of the clinic).
Have had a manic week of combining visits to the clinic (plus an intralipid on Monday) with work. But have jigged some things around (needs must !) and now have two weeks off work ahead of me .... ! Phew ! Am scheduled for egg collection on Wednesday. I'm trying to be very positive about this cycle. Probably due to a change in stimming medication I have responded completely differently this time. Last time I had an 'alright' number of eggs (10) which developed quickly and were 'ok' quality. This time I have (a predicted) greater number of eggs which have developed much slower. This should (hopefully) have a bearing on egg quality (ie : they should be better). Time will tell I suppose .... !
Am going to try very hard to avoid anything fertility related for the next couple of weeks. I've got a list of 1001 things that I always maintain that I don't have time to do (nothing exciting I hasten to add - mainly boring jobs around the home !) - so I'm going to do them !!! If I don't end up with a baby I may at least end up with my life a bit more in order ! I completely wasted the last two weeks I had off work by looking at pictures of other people's embryos !!!!!
So I'll wish you all well for the next couple of weeks. I'll let you know how we get on .................... !
Take care all xxx
