Hi sar. I too am having problems sleeping. I keep needing to wee and it's massively annoying. Could do with some kind of chamber pot! I'd recommend weetabix or lots of lentils for your poo problems. I have the opposite issue, caused by the suppositories I think. My body seems determined to spend most of the time on the loo!
I too have found certain points really hard - 2 year was a bad time for me. Like you say, you know you'll get through it, but it's still shit at the time. You have lots of stressful things going on at the moment and it's bound to take its toll. Just think, in a few months you'll be all settled into your new role and hopefully have some answers from your op. And you totally aren't Fred hogging. That's what we're here for! Big hugs love. I do really feel for you.
euro interesting article, but I wish it said what they could do to fix/deal with it! The dr thinks Dave's sperms have this issue, but I can't see what we can do about it. joy can I ask how much the test was? At my clinic it's v expensive and seems a bit pointless if we can't fix it.
madness your quilts sound lovely! I was in JL yesterday, fawning over ready made stuff in the soft linens dept. The best thing about getting married was all the JL vouchers we got! Shallow, me ?
nelly pleased to hear you are feeling ok. 
at swinging ovaries! It did feel like I had some testicles! In fact, every time Dave prodded me in the stomach, I threatened to punch him in the balls! I'm sure all is going well. The first ivf cycle, I had no symptoms until the very end.
rabbit hope you are feeling better. When I'm alone, I have to make sure I keep busy. Thankfully Dave no longer works weekends - it was too easy to spend then wollowing in ttc grief/ googling.
joy do you know what they do in the monitoring cycle? Does it involve lots of scans and blood tests? I think it's a great idea. I 'd love to know exactly what's going on.
doll hope you are doing ok? Have you had any more scans? I guess you triggered last night if EC is on Friday? I was seriously worried about Dave producing the goods on the day (we've had some performance issues in the past, ahem), but he did us proud. He didn't like walking past my mum in the waiting room though on the way to the masterbatorium. Suck it up Dave, suck it up!
kitty lovely to hear from you. I can't believe you are almost due!
beryl yay for good results!
critter your trip sounds lovely! M&S and JL are things I couldn't do without. Oh and primark. I'm right classy...
artemis that's a great no. fertilised! Will they give you regular updates on their progress? Sounds v much like you should end up with something to freeze. I'm jealous of your private room. At create, it's just one room, divided by curtains, with these reclining wheely chair things, which they bring you out of the theatre on. And god awful piped musac. Don't work too hard! You must give yourself time to recover.
Waves to everyone else.
Nothing to report here. I'm trying not to mental and keep busy, but veer between being convinced it's not worked to being hopeful. The fact one went to blast had given me some false hope. I'd much rather be not hopeful and then surprised if it does work. I'm v bruised at the mo - look like I've gone a few rounds with David Hayes! They're from the cannula, blood tests and evil clexane. Thank god it's winter so I can keep covered up.
