Morning everyone, thread has been moving fast today! I haven't read the article yet as I'm in work and it's taken enough time reading back through the thread already :)
I still have a bit of discomfort from the HSG yesterday, which has me a little worried. It's all on the right side, and I think is due to the trapped dye in the tube. It's not very painful, but noticeable, and making me worry a little. The post-op sheet says all discomfort will "certainly" be gone by the next day, and it hasn't. 
I have to say I'm not really bitter about the TTC journey so far, I have been exceptionally lucky though, as the only person ever to ask us about having kids has been my Mum, and she only talks to me about once every few months. I started out being very open with my sister and Dad, as they've always known I've wanted children, and post chemo I guess there was always a chance it wouldn't be straightforward, so maybe they were prepared not to assume. Also, I've only experienced 2 pg people since starting TTC, both childhood friends who live a long way away now, and I never really talk to.
I do find myself trying to make things 'normal' though, which I think is how I avoid the panic. It's why I'm so calm about the blocked tube and the slightly poor swimmers. It means we're not 'unexplained' infertility, we're just challenged, and these last 18 months are a reflection of something which can be easily explained, and more importantly, does not mean we're "infertile". We will get there, it'll just take more time. I'd be much, much more worried if all tests had come back as normal - weird as that may sound.
Smegs I'm sorry AF got you after such promising symptoms. I hope you get to spend some time distracting yourself while in NZ. I was there a couple of years ago, on the North Island and really enjoyed it. Even though DH was working for the first week, and we were in a boring little uni town with nothing to do. I went over to Christchurch for the day too, in the tiniest plane I've ever seen. I remember finding the earthquake pictures all the more shocking as I could recognise the places I'd been so recently.
Olives thanks for letting me know about the tubes being mobile, I had no idea! It does up my chances a bit, which is nice to know. I'll probably end up spending quite a bit of my lunch break reading about it all, as I find medical things really interesting/fascinating.
I should get back to work before someone looks at my screen. No plans for the weekend just yet, though I want to do some stuff in the garden, so if it stays nice I may end up out there, preparing for Spring!
