Wow! Congratulations tigerdog on the job offer - go you. It does sound like a major disruption to move from Midlands to London, what would happen ref your DP’s work? I full concur with beaky that a major move would all to likely bring on an ironi-diff. It’s bound to.
Welcome bear , it is not ideal to need to be here but you have found a wealth of advice and support among the Berries.
jellie best of luck with your EC today and beaky really hope your scan goes well. These things are surprisingly nerve racking, well it surprised me at least. You just do not want to hear anything that will make your TTC journey even more difficult than it already is. I’m sure you will be fine and I can’t wait to hear how you get on. —heavy hint to update ASAP afterwards—
WRT to your questions beaky , I’m feeling absolutely fine, boobs a bit sore from the progesterone gel, but nothing else to report. However, I was absolutely exhausted and a bit tearful the two days after the trigger shot. A bit of googling suggested that was absolutely normal. I think it is the sudden onslaught of hormones and possibly also a bit of a stress comedown after all the stabbing/ scanning/inseminating/ worrying/ trekking to the clinic/ obsessing etc…
I’ve been told to test at home 16 days post IUI and NO, they did not give me a test! 
I was quite affronted that they didn’t give us an HPT as we have had to pay out a fair old bit for the procedure. I have got lots of cheapy tests at home, but that is not the point!
Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes, you are so sweet you lovely Berries. I had a nice day which did involve cake and DH got me an old classic car, think VW Beetle or similar. It’s the same as the very first car I ever had and which I loved to bits, literally to bits. It’s very sweet of him, even though about three weeks ago I told him that I definitely didn’t want a car for my birthday and especially not an old classic car which would be nothing but a money pit! Oops. 
Against my own expectations I am pleased with it though. It’s nice to have something that is just mine actually, as the house we live in was DH’s before we met and it still has more his vibe than mine, so it’s great to have something which is purely mine.
smidge your weather sounds weird, wine is probably the best way to cope I would have thought. Upping your water intake is always a good idea. One tip is to always have a glass of water handy on your desk or next to you at home. That works quite well.
lumen I too have to get up early for work - 5.30 or sometimes quite a bit earlier - so hearing that you are up at five too has gladdened my heart. I don’t know why it should or if it makes sense but it just does. I am so not a morning person but I long ago accepted that I couldn’t afford to be p*d off every time I had to get up early as I would only make it more difficult for myself.
However, it is hard to take when friends with DCs complain about getting up at 5 or 6 am to look after their little ones. I just don’t have it in me to sympathise - I’ve been getting up at that time for years and never complained to them about it and plus I do not have the babies I would so dearly love to have. They really are rubbing salt in the wound for me. I’m not saying they are not far more tired than me, I am saying that it is stretching the milk of my human kindness too far to ask me to sympathise. Experience tells me this attitude does not go down well with mothers, so that is why I’m getting it off my chest here!
Blimey, that was an epic post!
