Catching up again – totally agree Onporpoise, it’s so encouraging that there’s plenty on here giving it a good go! I’m so sorry to read of your TMFR – that must’ve been really hard. Of course that was very, very tough luck, but there’s no reason why your next pregnancy couldn’t work out beautifully for you. 41 is still pretty young after all – on an age basis alone, the NHS would still offer you fertility treatment, although you seem to have fallen pregnant quite easily, which has to be a positive). Personally I find temping too difficult, so I can’t offer any advice, but you should find a few fans on here I think. Have you tried OPK’s?
Oh Green – what a very handsome little chap – he’s absolutely yummy scrummy! 
I'll keep my fingers crossed for your FET – and for trying naturally meanwhile. Do you get a natural go in December too (i.e. the cycle when you have your pre-treatment scan)? On the subject of FET – I’ve just written a baby congratulations card for a couple who started with a frozen embryo – they said they didn’t expect it to work but obviously it did work beautifully and they’ve since found that FET can often work better (is it down to fewer drugs and inflammation, or something?).
Thanks for putting a positive spin on our timing – when scan info overload might’ve been counter-productive this month. BTW – as regards the cycle monitoring I’ve had: I found an independent clinic who only do gynae/early pregnancy scans and bloods (and email images/reports into IVF clinics if someone’s having long-distance treatment). All the sonographers trained in NHS (some still work P-T in NHS too) and are v well qualified. Each scan works out massively cheaper than within London IVF clinic (almost 1/3 price). Maybe there’s something similar near you?
Inshock - many congrats on your baby DD too – 6/7 months is such a gorgeous age, hope you’re enjoying her! Do let us know when you decide to start trying for baby #2 – and perhaps (although hopefully for only a very short while) you’ll hang out here too.
Tidesout - Good luck for your 2ww. V positive that your day 21 progesterone test was good. My GP took a similar view on blood tests to Green’s GP. I’m obviously not entitled to NHS IVF, but my GP has still requested the basic blood tests (day 3 FSH/LH and day 21 progesterone) a couple of times over the past year, just on the basis that we were trying. On the other hand, DP’s doctor wouldn’t do a sperm analysis on the NHS. He self-referred to our local NHS hospital fertility clinic as a private patient and got one done for £72.
Twinkly - Good luck for your 2ww too – should we expect a bumper crop of BFP’s soon? And great effort with all those supplements! Hope you don’t mind me saying that I wouldn’t alternate your days for taking Pregnacare Conception – if only for the Folic Acid, as I think it’s best to have your Folic Acid every day?
Ababs - Sounds like a great plan for you to sit this month out for some R&R and extra time for supplements to work their magic. I know I couldn’t TTC for quite some while after medical management of my MMC last year – I was just too upset. I was curious to find whether you’d had any specific advice about getting the medical management drugs out of your system though (I didn’t have any)?
LOL at having a ‘relaxing’ time TTC with a 23 month old! I reckon my 28 month old DD has Duracell batteries as she’s a very poor sleeper – so I can see how the Christmas holidays and some judicious use of daytime nap time could help 
City - I know it’s natural to worry (I have the T-shirt), but I hope you appreciate that you’re actually in a very strong position. Yes it must have hurt when your Mum said you would’ve had children by now if it was ever going to happen, but you need to remind yourself that whatever your Mum (or the Daily Mail, or whoever) says, doesn’t have the slightest influence over whether it actually will happen. Obviously I can't second guess what she meant, but perhaps she made that comment without thinking, or to rationalise her own expectations of having grandchildren (or more grandchildren), or to protect you from any further pain from broken aspirations given that your husband had just left. Plus as you were single at the time, no-one could’ve predicted you’d meet your now DP so (relatively) soon, whereas your Mum might come from a generation where single parenthood was less 'acceptable' (not a good word, sorry), or even possible .... yet you’ll notice women on these threads who are TTC, single and over 40 - and more power to their elbow, frankly.
I do know someone in RL who, childfree at 36, unfortunately was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure. She happened to deal with her infertility by buying a f*ck off big house which has become the vibrant hub for extended family get togethers. But that clearly isn’t your situation. An FSH of 5.7 is great. Your FSH/LH ratio of about 1:1 is perfect. No one would consider your FSH to be even mildly elevated (i.e. not such a good thing) until it was at least 8, and not even the most stringent IVF clinic would exclude you until it was over 10. (Many clinics treat FSH levels up to 15 and a few ignore it entirely.) If your ultrasound scans have been described as “very active” then you should be very re-assured by that – it’s a pretty objective assessment and Sonographers don’t tend to mince their words in my experience. (I’ve been on the receiving end of the opposite - “very low reserve” - type of comment. And that was even before I conceived my DD aged 43.) On that basis, you’d expect your AMH results to be fab too.
So I'm sure you'll be fine. The one thing you could maybe do is check on your protein vs carb intake. There’s been studies finding that female IVF patients whose daily protein intake was 25% - 35% of their diet and whose carbohydrate intake was 40% or less of their diet, in the 3 months before IVF, had four times the pregnancy rates of patients who ate less protein and more carbs daily: link to high protein low carb.
I too was veggie for about 25 years – until I weaned my DD, now 2, and decided that 3 separate meals every mealtime was going to be way too much hassle. (Plus once I’d finally plucked up the courage to taste whatever meat casserole I was blending for her, I was pretty much over it.) Likely you’re better at being vegetarian than I was, but I know I struggled to eat enough protein – plus I’ve always had a tendency towards being anaemic too.
I guess you could also send your DP for a sperm analysis – just to check nothing’s changed since he had his children. It gave my DP a bit of a kick up the backside to improve his diet – and his SA has improved lately.
Hi to Jass if you’re still around. Hope all is well with you.
Lots of luck to everyone.
