free hope your appointment goes well today. Looking forward to hearing how it went!
doll if you have a scan coming up, good luck. Thinking of you. It still makes me so happy that cowboy IVF has done the trick for you. Gives me hope.
rabbit the pork belly and treacle tart sound heavenly, and it's awesome that you're sewing so much and so well. What have you made recently? Any nice clothes? I always wish I could sew, I did do a course once and loved it but have never bought a sewing machine. My mum used to make clothes when she was in her twenties and early thirties and I still wear some of the lovely 70s maxi dresses that she made. I totally identify with what you said about finding something that absorbs you. That's totally how I feel about my little poetry-writing hobby - infertility is really crap but at least it's forced me to try to creatively enrich my life in other ways that perhaps if I'd had a baby I would have put on the back-burner. I am grateful for that.
buzzy I'm sorry about the poor woman in your flats, what a horrible shock. She must have felt so desperate to do something like that. Hope you are ok - those moments really do stick with us, as rabbit said. Hope your hormones have continued to settle and you're feeling sunnier today after a nice weekend with barry. It'll be so nice to cycle with you.
sar a nurse once told me I had a heart-shaped womb, but I've never heard anything else about it. I think the time leading up to your FET is just always going to be really stressful, and that's ok. You've been amazingly strong at dealing with all the curveballs you've been thrown over the past years but it's natural to find this incredibly hard. We are all rooting for you and your frostie. There is every chance that this will work, and I so hope that it does - but it is not the last chance saloon. I truly believe that you are going to be a mum. Incidentally - I found out today that a friend who has two gorgeous children had them both from IVF on the third and fourth attempt. She said she was beside herself when the first two rounds didn't work. You've had crappy luck in the past but this is not the end of the road, far from it.
euro I am thinking of you and hoping with every bone in my body that you get good news this week. Be gentle to yourself, let MrEuro look after you, and rest. We are here for you if you feel like talking.
joy I'm thinking of you too and willing on your little fighter. Hang in there.
madness the walk sounds gorgeous. It always makes me feel better to be out in the fresh air.
at the flabby baby clothes! Nachos are one of my favourite treats. I love the crispy ones at the edges of the plate best.
teu lovely to see you and hope all's well on t'other side!
pout how's the stabbing going? Are you nearing EC?
sweet PCOS is really common and as far as I know, the vast majority of PCOSers conceive with a little help. You may be prescribed a few rounds of clomid. If you are, make sure that you get proper monitoring, with regular ultrasound scans. It's great news that you're ovulating already - are your cycles regular?
Waves to nelly, lemon, gin, princess, sea, mrsd, and everyone I've missed. Sunny here but bitingly cold. I did have a lovely low key weekend, clearing away dead leaves from the garden, cleaning the house, and reading more of my Jilly Cooper novel. On Saturday night MrC went to bed early and left me to stay up on the sofa with Jilly, Sade on the stereo, and a little candle, all wrapped up in a blanket
it was heaven!
