Hi hags! I've been AWOL on a little jolly for the weekend (not for Valentine's Day, which we do not acknowledge, and not with Himself anyway). Just been catching up.
Cherry, I'm glad your appointment went well. I'm sorry that ROCH is being difficult - it's so annoying, I can't understand why they won't just get on board for a little bit. Himself hasn't quit drinking (but then again, I haven't yet either - though I've cut right back), and he has his first spaff test this week. It'll be interesting to see how it goes. Though, knowing him, he'll have the super-sperm of a man ten years his junior. However, if we need to get any treatment, we'll both be quitting to give it the best possible chance. I'm hoping the huge financial outlay will convince him.
Rain, we are not in the UK, but not too far away. All treatments are private here, so if we have to get treatment we'll be saying goodbye to (at least) one year's savings a our house deposit.
barking, you sound much more positive. I'm glad. The babies thing is hard. I'm dithering over whether to go to this spa weekend thing some old friends have organised for the end of next month. I haven't seen them in forever, but they are all mothers and half of them are pregnant. And seriously, all they talk about is babies. And, some of them are really insensitive and keep going on about how "lucky" I am and what a great "lifestyle" I have without kids. It's also really patronising because in the same breath they will bang on about how their lives are so much better and more meaningful now. And also, this spa weekend will mean a three hour drive for me, because it has to be local for them because of the kids. I'm in a bit of a grump about the whole thing.
Fab, I'm shaking pompoms as I type! COW!
Erica, it was great not having a 2ww, but now I realise that I did in fact have one, but I just didn't know it. I ovulated later this cycle, so we did actually have a shot this month. However, I'm 100% getting my period today (negative test yesterday, massive temp drop this morning, tearfulness, some - um - digestive issues). So I'm a bit pissed off, because I had thought we just missed out and that was ok, but now I realise that it was yet another unsuccessful cycle, and I'm more worried than ever that something is wrong.
Typically, of course, my cycle would fuck up the month that I go for tests. This means that my progesterone test was done earlier than 7 days before bleed (though still after ovulation - I think you all said as long as it was post-ov, that was ok?).
UGH, Mondays. I've done zero prep work for the seminar I am leading this morning. I very nearly called in sick. I keep thinking of my bed and how much I want to be in it.
