Gosh it's been busy and the knowledge on these boards is quite something!
Joy - glad you had good holiday but I agree it is so hard to truely escape the TTC thoughts and feelings. It is like a drug. Thank you for reminding me of the antibiotic info. I think the antibiotic which is occasionally used with IVF is doxcyline. There are some articles on this. Hopefully IVF is just around the corner for you assuming your messages get passed on. How are you feeling about it all?
Barry - grrrr at your rude Consultant - why oh why do they feel the need to be a bit smug or a bit scary or a bit arrogant. It can all be done without these little added extras - but I like your attitude towards all of this. And I really believe your brown diet efforts are going to be rewarded - I truely do. Your last post was amazing and well done you for taking this stance. I have tried (and failed) at various times to take control back and find other paths alongside TTC. The timing has to be right and I feel that your brown diet has paved the way for you to take control of your own wellbeing and life in a holisitic manor. Good luck.
Gin - glad you will be having another IVF cycle. What do the Dr's suggest may improve the odds for next time? Sorry about the crazy hormomes. What had caused this? Is it post IVF madness? Well done on sticking out the hen do with the boring baby talk. Baby talk is actually boring........in fact other people's baby's are often boring
But I want one of my own....waah.
Buzzy - welcome home and thank you for putting a coin in the trevi fountain for the 10 month + crew. Sorry about the sickyness and BFN. Hope Mr B's op goes ok.
Dave - sorry about your cold and full fat milk madness! It's funny how the urge to symptom spot never really dies - it must be inate. I symptom spotted one cycle where we didn't try - just to see what the differences were 
Euro - I took progesterone injections called gestone after my egg collection. I was told that they were superior to anything else including the pesseries. Apparantly the consultant says there is a higher pregnancy rate. However, my cycle failed so take what you will from that. I didn't mind the injections - they were a bit sore / stingy but there are tips and tricks which can be used which make it easier. When will you find out about your IVF protocol?
Keith - The massage and woo lady sound wonderful. I would definetly see her again. Such things can really restore confidence in our own abilities I find.
Since CD1 I have been very up and down. The period was heavy but not clotty and only crampy for one day so nowhere near as bad as I expected. Since then my body signals are not their usual but nothing too frightening. Emotionally, DH and I are all over the place. I haven't been dwelling too much that the cycle failed in itself (don't get me wrong I desperatly wanted that embryo to attatch and grow). But our main emotions are fear and anxity. Fear that it will never happen and anxiety about the extent of damage inside me and the operation that they are threatening me with. I also feel like a freak for having such a strange, symptomless condition. Even if I was a prostitute and had several bouts of STI's (of which I have had none) I would still only have 15% chance of having the internal damage that I have got. I'm not angry I'm just confused and stressed and can't seem to find a solution which will make me happy.
Hello Hocus - welcome and good luck with your lap. At least you are taking control back now and it is very likely that you will get a BFP in time. But in the mean time, hanging out here does make things a little easier.
Carrie - gosh what strange managament from your Dr's. Endo does affect fertility and it is likely that is what I have. Based on the fact you have had an eptopic - how are your tubes? Could these be the problem for you?
Nelly - embryoglue you say ????what is this, where is this, I need some!!!
Good luck with the clinc tour!
Purple - thank you for sharing about youy adoption experince. I'd say your little boy is very lucky to have a mum like you!
Well it is now CD10 for me. Body signals are a little off this month post IVF. Normally get ovulation pain and gurgly stomach cd 10 onwards but I have been having these symptoms since a few days ago minus the EWCM. Very odd. Also had a speck of blood which I guess is readjustment of hormones. Did the deed in the old fashioned way last night - what the hell!!
Emotions are crazy. Not been grieving badly for the lost cycle / embryo (although we were desperate for it to work). I think the fear of what medical thing will happen next is overiding everything and that is where my energy and anxiety is lying. My DH has been brill and insists that too much good stuff went well (ie multiple blastocysts) and it's just a matter of time. This really does help as it is so easy to lose hope. But then again, that is a protective mechanism. When you get knock after knock in such a short space of time its easier to feel it can't happen as all your past experinces points to negative outcomes. Ah well, onwards and upwards. We WILL keep going!!!!
