#### STATS LIST ####

Welcome to the March bus, every one welcome!

Remember to update us and for ease please post your update in a separate post with lots of #### to signify an update.

I'm weaning you guys off the gin, it's not good for the eggies! Instead we have some of Sparkly's green gunk!

Happy shagging/syringing!

Sammy, I am pretty sure it is two years. That is what I was told. Also different areas have different rules about weight, smoking, previous children etc. If you put your postcode in, this website tells you which CCG you are under. Once you know that might be able to find something more specific.

Purds, we all love you. I am so sorry you feel bad and I know at times it is impossible to see a way out, but you will get through this. As mentioned previously CBT can be really useful, although that is more of a long term strategy. In the short term, have you spoken to your GP about maybe changing or adding to your medication?

We are all here for you if you ever need to rant.

Sparkly, that is a pretty good date to have a BFP on!

Heir, good luck for tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be too painful.

Massive congratulations to you, genni. I hope the next few months go well for you.

Thanks Sparkly. So we have already been referred and having investigations, but I was under the impression that of no obvious cause of infertility is found then some areas have wait criteria before you can have treatment. I really hope I'm wrong though, because the clinic we would go to only has a 4 week wait list!! Xx

Hi everyone! I'm still stuck at work, been a busy week!
Thanks for all the preseed advice, I've ordered some so let's see if it helps!!
Genni congrats!!!
Sorry if I've missed any other BFPs!
Purdey - I hope you're okay, I've not been on these forums long but from what I've seen you're one of the most helpful and caring people on here and seems a lot of other people agree hope you feel better soon

Thank you Nomio, will have a look on the laptop later
What if they find a specific problem? Do you still have to wait 2 years? Xx

sammy, they will start investigations after a year, but you are not eligible for IVF until you have been trying at least two years. Can you maybe pretend you have been trying a bit longer than you actually have?

^Guidance from NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) recommends that up to three IVF cycles should be available on the NHS if:
the woman is aged between 23 and 39 at the time of treatment, and
one or both of you has been diagnosed with a fertility problem (such as having no sperm or both fallopian tubes blocked), or
you’ve been infertile for at least two years^

Ah I see sorry Sammy I must have forgotten re the fact you already had tests. So I think two years then? Fingers crossed for you though.. Have heard so many times of people who get ref for IVF then get a BFP right before starting

Hi all
Sorry for not posting sooner been on the go all day. Dinner is on so have a few mins to check in.

I did another CB this morning which was negative. Which is fine. Will test when/if AF is late which would be Wednesday. That would make it a 30 day cycle and I've not had any of those for years! Had a few cramps today but no spotting. Major bloat though
Congrats on the BFP's. Gives me hope!
Sorry to those who go the fucktard AF xx

Where's our Juney today?

Glittery eek sorry for bfn!! But still hope, fingers crossed!! Was your test yesterday CB? I know they are not as sensitive as frers etc

All systems go!

sparkly I agree about ov yesterday using their 6 over 3 theory, so 2 more high temps and it's done! Forgot my CB sample this morning - only on day 2! They said it's fine though so do you recon I can "forget" Sunday as I'm spending a night away with the girls (sharing rooms) and won't have a fridge or room for a potty?

Purds yes I do know! Just because we don't want it 24/7 doesn't make us bad parents, it makes us normal! It is mundane and wonderful all at the same time. But don't feel like you need to feel like this just because Nancy is all you wanted. It's ok to want more. Being a Mum is hard and at Nancy's age you don't get much back for it!

glittery sorry for bfn, fx it's due to sensitivity.

Woohoo, go get busy, coffee!

(off to catch up on all the pages I've missed now!)

Sparkly, I agree that I think ov has happened. I guess tomorrow's temp should tell you. You certainly deserve your bfp this cycle, fab effort

Thought I'd add my chart while I'm on the other site.

Yep CB plus. The one I took today I took it with me to work left it in the glove compartment. Looked at it on the way home and still a negative. No extra lines. Not even a peep of any evap line.

I've pissed on so many sticks, I really can't be arsed anymore. Constant disappointment with them

Just had steak and sweet potato mash with a lemon salad.

DH watching some crap on tele so gonna shove some washing on, make a hot chocolate and hop in the shower.

I feel heavy in the lower stomach and bloaty and my cervix is low and firm. I reckon AF is on her way.

That peak lunchtime cheeky shag was a waste of time! Lol

Cor sorry. Life story there haha

Go Coffee Go!!!

mummy thanks. We shall see what tomorrow's temp brings!! Ha ha good start with the CB! I sent my first 14 off today.. All of which were only half full!! They are not going to be happy!! I clearly missed the part in the instructions which stated FILL CUP! Yes just miss one!! Easily done!! Girls weekend sounds great! Jealous!

Spinning aw thanks but it's really not a lot of effort from me with AI is it? The first few were hard because I was so unwell but technically it's the husband that deserves a medal! Not sure if I count this as first or second cycle after the mc or not. Either way it is going to bring me a BFP!!!

Spinning nice chart! You timed dtd well? All crossed for you!! Can't believe we are talking about this already as it feels like two minutes ago we were on about our last TWW!

Yay, just got my smiley face! I will be jumping on DH later.

Thanks Nomio and Sparkly, I might be able to make it a month or so longer, but we already said roughly how long we'd been trying at our last appointment.
I think that the time trying for IVF can vary between locations (although I'm sure it's aprox 2 years everywhere) I'm sure someone on one of these forums told me that. Guess we'll find out in April. Xx

sparkly, I don't think you could have done more than you have this month. I really hope you get your Mother's Day BFP.

Sorry to hear about your test, glittery. At least once AF turns up, you can start to plan for next cycle.

I am so pleased OV has turned up on time this month. DH has to go abroad for work next week & I was terrified I was going to OV late again & miss our chance.

Yay for smiley face Nomio, good news it's on time before dh goes away

Glittery, I'm really sorry it's a bfn after yesterday's excitement.

sparkly you are definitely getting your BFP! So excited about girls night away. I have NEVER been away with the girls always had a night out then stayed wherever DS is or had him dropped off the next day or been with DP and had him young so didn't do it before DS. Away at 10 and not back til 7 next day. So very, very excited. Japanese restaurant, cocktail bars then maybe a club. Then next day late breakfast and shopping though I am poor as I just fixed the car.

yaaay nomio synchronised jumping

2ww buddies!

Mummy that sounds so great!! Can I come?! Have the best time!! You deserve after your rubbish time recently!!

Nomio ha ha thanks. I'm getting one!! Power of positive thinking and all that...!! Good luck with your dtd! Great news that you have your peak smiley and that your OV is in good timeframe! The fertility gods are watching obviously!

Sammy fingers crossed. April is not long away.. I know it prob feels forever to you, but I promise it will be here before you know it!
