IamKuma · 27/12/2013 09:25

Kuma signing in for duty. Actually, I'm at work today boo but I'm going on holiday tomorrow! Thought I'd be organized and booked our airport taxi yesterday and the bloody thing arrived this morning instead. Nice early wake up call at 3am.

I'm on my phone atm but if someone wants to add me to the list

Kuma - 39, TTC 13 cycles, high FSH, low AMH, low antral count so generally a bit stuffed. Next NHS FC apptmt in March, likely to go private before then.

barkingtreefrog · 27/12/2013 09:48

kitty you're not forgotten, but you're a visitor not a resident now Wink .

CD23 here and still no +opk. I did hope that the clomid would have made me Ov even though I didn't have a proper AF Sad .

Anyway. ^^

Marking place too, Happy Christmas ladies! Hope you've all been having a lovely time. ODing on food is a requisite too innit?

happylass · 27/12/2013 11:41

Morning all. Lovely new home - thanks Bunny. Hope it'll be a lucky one and we'll all be moving out before too long.
Just been to have a cracked filling repaired so waiting to get the feeling back in my face so I can start stuffing again Grin. Heading to Dublin on Sunday for New Year so got lots of goodies to eat up before then!
Barking how's that YBR coming along? May join you on it in a bid to be more positive in the new year, despite the shitty visit to the FC last week.
Have a good day all!

yorkiebilb · 27/12/2013 12:16

Morning all, fingers crossed for a lucky 2014 for us all.

ladybunnikins · 27/12/2013 15:27

Oh god, that's horrible Funky, can't believe they're making you wait so long for an ERPC. Thanks

BlindKitty · 27/12/2013 15:43

funky sorry to hear this. Hopefully things will happen themselves before the 8th xxx

funkymonk · 27/12/2013 17:12

Sorry. I should have explained a bit more. I had bleeding and clots for a few hours after first misoprostol and then nothing at all. Had second lot of misoprostol on 23rd as they said (without doing scan) that the bleeding should continue for a lot longer (like 2 weeks). Nothing at all happened after 2nd lot. They said I need to wait until 8th Jan (3 weeks after first lot of meds) and if still getting positive tests they will scan and see if ercp needed. If there is no further bleeding then I can't imagine how the test will be anything other than positive after the minimal bleeding I had. Grrr. Sorry to come on and rant without catching up with you all properly.

In other news, I am currently raging as i found out yesterday that a girl I know who has a BMI of 41 and has health problems linked to this such as constant shortness of breath... ACCIDENTALLY got pregnant and is now 18 weeks. HOW is this possible! An incredibly unhealthy person who is successfully carrying a child she hadn't even planned. Aaarrrggghhh!!!

Hope all you lovely ladies are well and are going into 2014 with a more positive outlook than me!

funky I'd seen on the mc forum you were worried you hadn't had enough bleeding but I didn't realise you were still in limbo, that's horrible Sad . Hope everything is sorted very soon Thanks .
YBR not quite done yet Happy, afraid I fell asleep on the job. I'm making it into a pretty pattern like crazy paving though, thought it might cheer everyone up Grin .

BlueBirdy · 27/12/2013 18:00

Hi everyone, gosh Funky Sad not nice at all Thanks.

I had IVF appt today but planning appt is only in 8 weeks or so, but then it will be straight into ICSI. Good luck Bunny, and good news on the private option Kuma

mrswalker13 · 27/12/2013 18:14

Found you. Haven't really caught up, apologies. Feeling very bleak here; waiting for news, nothing forthcoming. I suspect progress will be made with rheumatology before FC but feels pointless because I can't be given the treatment I need while ttc. F#*king immune system disaster area. I need put down.

mrsw, 35, ttc may13, low progesterone, jiggered immune system

tigerdog · 27/12/2013 19:11

Hi everyone, thanks for the warm welcome. Please can someone add me to the list:

tigerdog, 33, ttc 12 cycles. Initial FC appointment in January. Berry newbie but glad to be here whilst aiming for a bfp.

2014 is going to be a good year! x
