Hi hags. I wanted to pop in and see how fizz was doing and realised you'd dropped off my 'threads I'm on' list 
.
Fab amazing scan news, wishing you an incredibly boring pregnancy 
.
Blue I've never had a choose and book option, I was just sent to the local hospital. Same as fizz said, we get the embryos stored for a year and then have the option of paying. Sorry about the ungrateful friend. One of the worst phrases is, 'oh you can have my kids, they're a nightmare' when someone finds out you don't have any 
.
rain/Erica sorry about the baby bombs, they don't get any easier. Ex colleague whose first pg made me cry lots has just announced again. She's really unhealthy, smokes, drinks and is overweight. Why the fuck can she sail through two effortless and successful bfps and I can't?
chez lovely to see you mate. I can be your gin buddy!! 
I'm for you that the clinic weren't more forthcoming about the spaff issue, but good to see you have a plan.
fankle sorry the BESHlet is taking the piss on the sleeping front, that's hard work.
And I finally get to the end and fizz, you're PUPO!!!!!!
I am attempting to do the PUPO dance for you, but my body is not used to drinking alcohol any more, and the two small glasses of fizzy stuff last night have made me a little hangovery this morning.
Erica feel free to bat this one straight back at me, but if you feel strong enough to do the shit on your own, would it be worth looking into Mr Erica doing his contribution in advance? Then you could go ahead, and if he wasn't there on D-day (obviously with dates difficult to predict you're unlikely to know whether he will be or not) they could use one he had prepared earlier, as it were?! I know it's not the same, but I'll most probably be doing our frozen cycle on my own by the looks of it. DCW is away for 4 weeks over summer and I don't want to put it off until September.
We decided to go for the private nk cells testing. We had already ttc this cycle so can't do the biopsy as I could be pg . Next month it looks like the crucial window will be during the few days we're abroad for a wedding . So we're looking at June for the biopsy. If they find elevated nk cells I'll have to take steroids for a month and then they repeat the biopsy to see if they have had an effect. They don't work for everyone and they won't give them out in pg unless it's been proved that there is a benefit.
The biopsy has to be done 7-9 days after ovulation. I start the droid 7-8 days after ovulation so this might be a bit of a problem! They can't do it once you're bleeding, but before a week is too early as your womb wouldn't be at the right stage anyway .
This cycle I ov'd on cd21/22 so that won't be producing any quality eggs so I'm now waiting to see what my LP will be this cycle so I can predict what it might be next cycle .
We're also paying for a scratch before the frozen cycle, given 2x early mc and 2x iui/ivf failures. Don't know yet whether it will be a natural or medicated cycle.
Given all these delays, I have fucked off the healthy living and am back on the booze well I'm trying, after such an absence it's taking some effort and the training. I've just signed up for my first triathlon .
