Thanks berries. Spare it was from the drugs, they gave me a different anti sickness to the good one the gave me last time 
How are you doing?
Sesame my brain hurts with all you have to think about! Thanks for the cheering. Quite nervous really.
Barking crazy dreams are the worst. You must be so frustrated. Would you try acu again?
Icy welcome, don't forget to tell us your stats.
Phew caught up. Lucky I have a 50 min train journey home ;-)
Well feel fairly fraudulent as haven't got anywhere with assisted conception, but here we go.
Icy, 28, ttc over 2 years, never a sniff of a bfp. OH is 47 and by the time he's 50 we'll retire. PCOS, 8 goes at clomid & metformin, weight normal. Laparoscopy and diathermy last July (4 days into new job! Crazy). All hope of getting diffed returned, and so when I got period on holiday in Greece with OH and his 2 kids (10 and 8) I fell to pieces. IVF referral (apparently) went off between Xmas and new year. Going to Nuffield clinic. Self funding everything as existence of OH kids means I qualify for shit (no qualms spending their inheritance). Am angry and bitter and fairly horrible with it too 
What's nolly got tomorrow? should I wish you happy birthday?
barking, beaky thanks, my brain hurts too. 
beaky well done, so glad to hear that the spice girls worked their stuff! Yay! Everything is still crossed for you! Will you have a 2 or 3 day transfer?
nolly there’s some shimmy shake pompoming going on here for you! How’d you get on?
Hi forty
Welcome back and happy to hear your treatment has started.
beaky
We need an embie growth soundtrack, for the post-Barry days
What about 'divide on time' to the tube of 'ride on time'? At least we are all the right age to remember that first time around 
nolly welcome back! Well done on the six embies, that sounds like a good number to me. How are you feeling after ec? How many eggs did you get altogether? Did they say when transfer might be?
forty how are you getting on? What is the treatment cycle that you are starting and do you know your protocol?
happy how about you? How did your scan go?
beaky is it ET tomorrow? Good luck! Keeping all my pompoms crossed for you! 
tiger Well done on your protocol appointment, it does looks like you’ll be well looked after. I’m so impressed with all the wedding planning! Nice work on ordering the deccies, it’s gonna look lovely. Where did you order the bridesmaid dresses from? I don’t really know when I stop as chances of success are so very low at this point . I was meant to stop at 3 cycles and be done before I turned 40 but that was from my more optimistic days. But for now, I do want to try at least one round of natural cycle, and I don’t mind going out of my way to do so. Whether that is an experience I will want to repeat I think will depend on how far I get, and how I feel about it then. I’ve been told bloods might take a week to come back.
Meanwhile, DJ Sesame’s got a couple more tunes lined up for nolly and beaky’s embryos:
If you cleave me now…
I will divide!
I am loving dj Sesame
Great news on 6 nolly
Any more news today on yours beaky?
Nope, tiger despite getting very excited last night when some rummaging discovered some blood tinged cm, there was no blood flowing this morning and nowt since . Got my hopes up I might actually be able to call the clinic and get a start date for the Ivf. Arse.

hi everyone...loving all of the suggestions of the post barry soundtracks... seasame you seem to have a knack for it.
hi forty welcome back. can't wait to see your lyrics for "all about that bass"...there have been loads of parodies of that song on youtube...they always make me smile.
welcome icy
still got some catching up to do...for all those under going treatment, hope all is going okay.
not been on for a while, head just not in the right place...getting a bit fed up with the total lack of movement from the nhs. I'll be hassling my GP in the morning for an update. Have also decided to push forward and revisit all the private fc info, we got at the exhibition last year. had a few vouchers for free consultations with a few of them, so I'll create a shortlist and hopefully get some time in front of them soon, so we can move forward on deciding who to go with.
hope everyone else is okay and sorry for anyone I've missed.
Tiger sorry to laugh but you shouting "cunt features" at MrT at the top of your voice really made me laugh properly out loud! Glad you are doing ok though and the wedding planning sounds so exciting. I bet it is a really lovely day. And not too long in this job either! Things are looking up. The protocol sounds v interesting, they sound like a very comprehensive clinic. Shame you couldn't get started this cycle.
Woohoo for Nollys 6
Sesame tricky times with the decision making. I agree that it's worth you trying a natural cycle anyway. ET later today if everything is going ok
Barking any sign? Still hoping for you. No updates from the clinic yesterday, eek.
Clem it is such a tough time, keep harassing them and you'll get there. 
Hello Hope everyone is well, I had bit of news I had my first on ovulation kit yesterday since Jan 2015 so big deal for me but we will see, we dtd so we will see in few weeks if it worked not sure how long before I do test, I had first period since 18 now 33 on 14th Nov , then had another 26th dec so we will see , can't help but be excited!
