Smidge I hope your follow up is helpful at least, and pack some rainy weather clothes for your hol it's pouring!

barking is fet tomorrow? Very best of berry luck for it.

Nolly welcome back! What's happening with you treatment wise? Have you started new job yet? Hope you feel better soon.

Rain I'm scheduled in for ec not long after you! Building a house these days is so expensive but so worthwhile, I'd love to do a countryside barn renovation.

Happy Smidge I take all 3 dhea at the same time. Hopefully it still works as I have enough bother remembering once a day!

Brilliant moustachioed baby Beaky! Love it.

That sounds like a sensible approach Rain. I think most modern hair dyes and treatments are far less toxic than the olden day ones and pretty safe on the whole.

Barking and Minx I totally agree that losing all hope that a 'natural' 2ww could end in a BFP took a load off. It's pure torture doing a 2ww which ends in disappointment month after month.

Good luck for your FET barking !

Good luck for your fet Barking

Good luck barking am thinking of you.

Hello everyone else!

Loved the mustache beaky!

good luck for the FET barking

Good luck barking! Let us know when you are PUPO!

Good luck today Barking

Everything crossed for you Barking. Are you having 1 or 2 put back?

Good luck Barking!

Aye, hope all goes well for the FET barking

Lurking and sending all the good vibes in the world Barking x

Er.. thanks berries but beaky is a day ahead of herself, it's tomorrow! You're all going to have to come back and post again .

happy just one. I'm convinced it's my whacky hormones that are stopping implantation /causing mc, so I don't want to risk both on the same womb lining / hormone presence, I'd rather spread my bets!! The tests results showing my hormone levels post ov are a couple of days behind, and the scan and blood tests showing that my follicles grow to size and then sit there for a week before ovulation have not reassured me that I'm wrong!!

Sorry Barking I thought it was Wednesday!

I feel cheated Barking!

I blame my current stress levels. Ooops.

at least you get to feel the love from all of us barking for 2 days

Just done my first fragmin injection. That hurt! Couldn't get the bloody needle in, why do they not make them sharp?!?!

Well good luck for tomorrow then Barking.

If the Fragmin is like Clexane (think they are similar drugs?) then yes, those needles are blunt. My best tips are to sit down and bend forward to slacken your stomach area (assuming you are stabbing in the stomach). Then pinch a bit of flesh, leaving about 1cm off skin exposed, pinch hard enough to give the flesh some resistance to the needle but not too tight or it hurts even more. I'm thinking you are probably super svelte Barking which is not going to help in this case.

Good luck tomorrow barking!

Hello, just marking my place on here so I can read back in a bit

I'm going to print this out and hand it out to everyone I know. So spot on....
www.resolve.org/support/for-family--friends/infertility-etiquette.html

wild yes, I think it's the same but a different brand. I stopped all core exercises and have eaten lots of pies in preparation for the needles after they were so painful last time and the nurse told me it was because I was injecting into muscle. I still don't have much to 'pinch' though, I have to sit down. I'll experiment with the 1cm thing tomorrow, cheers .

happy that's brilliant. I want to put it on my Facebook but I've only posted once in the past year or more, and that was to push the Tommy's fundraising! Seems a bit random to pop up once a year and post about infertility then disappear again...
