9DPO Symptom Spotting

[unCliche]

Hey @ButterscotchBabe! Continuing our chat here 😁

I loooove that your temps did exactly what mine did too. So good that AF hasn't arrived at CD26!! Happy for you! When your temps increased last month, was it is to a gradual high or did it jump up again and then AF started? Because if this pattern is new, it could mean good news!

Ours definitely look like the beginning of a triphasic chart. My temps last month started dropping at 7DPO, so it still being high at 9DPO is such an achievement for me and no sign of AF either although my vulva feels AF'y in a weird way. My pulse and breathing rate have also continued to shoot up!! If temps don't tell you AF is coming, pulse rate defo will because it always starts falling a few days before AF for me.

I do suspect chemical but no BFP so can't confirm and nothing else changed that cycle so I can't explain it. Hormones were defo the reason I never took the pill, it plays such a big part in changing your reproductive cycle that of course it would have an affect on cycles after you come off them! 45 day cycles sound like a nightmare - especially when TTC too.

I do have a FRER! I'm always so scared to use it though. I always use rubbish ICs which probably aren't the best thing but I will use my FRER with you!

I like predicting what my temps will do with DH. What do you think will happen tomorrow? I think both our temps will go up again 😆

And here's my chart.

Finally got a peak today! So looks like ovulation will be later today or early tomorrow, a late one this cycle! My next ultrasound is tomorrow so I should be able to see a dominant follicle to confirm ovulation 🙂.

You've only got 1 or 2 natural cycles left, so it might be worth using up the pessaries? Or would you prefer to save them for when you get a BFP? Hopefully you've had a better rise in temp today 😊.

Haha I'm very punctual, DP is always late and it drives me mad 😂. My work times vary quite a lot, sometimes I'll do 7-3, 8-4, 9-5 or a short day and then a long day. I more often do long days and build up Flexi time, so I can get extra days leave 😊. Does your work allow you to have Flexi time?

If you tell the GP you've been trying for a year and you've had a progesterone test privately which has come back low, indicating a problem with ovulation, that should help speed things along and prevent them from being dismissive 🙂.

That sounds awful 🦟🦟, the worst mosquito bites I've experienced was in Majorca. Our hotel was near a wetland and I was getting bitten everyday. The bites swelled up loads and were incredibly itchy and painful. I've never reacted that bad in the UK but these were like super mosquitos 😱😱.

Good luck with Aski's spaying today, hope it goes okay!

There was lots of humping yesterday, mainly the white one humping the grey one. Even backwards humping (humping the face!) 😱. I've also noticed the grey one chews and tries to dig a lot more than the white one, I hope the grey isn't a female or we'll end up with inbred babies 😂😂. I've contacted a vets and requested an appointment, so I'll try and get them neutered asap.

Oh dear haha, how old is their baby now?

Yes very rainy here! This must be the wettest May in a long time!! I'm guessing it must have been rainy where you are too?

.

They're very sleepy babies, in-between humping 😂😂

Yay! You'll most likely be ovulating today then. Gosh we're so far apart now! I'm 6DPO so once again, our cycles have been pulled apart, but hopefully, we'll somehow find a way back together 😂 Unless either of us get pregnant, then we'd have to wait a whole year or more! 😂 Good luck with your ultrasound tomorrow. Hopefully it sheds some light as to what's going on. Fingers crossed for good news 🤞

I don't think using the pessaries now will help. I definitely won't have a fertilised egg inside me so it'll just be a waste. And my temp rise this morning was pitiful 😅 so I'm not really expecting anything from this cycle or the next one. Just biding my time until we can start IVF. However, our roof has a leak which may set us back a bit, so we'll just have to wait and see how much it'll all cost!!

Ah that's interesting that you can work overtime to save up some days off! I don't think we have anything like that at work. We usually have every second Friday of the month as a half day but they've now introduced two Fridays a month as full days off, which is great! But at least some days you finish at 3pm. Is there a reason for the early starts and the varying start times?

You're right! UK mosquito bites are pretty tame but those from abroad are horrid! Ughhh!! I really really hate them!!

Aski spay went well! She currently in a little recovery shirt and she absolutely hates it. She keeps growling 😂😂 I can't stop laughing at her. She seriously looks pissed off! 😂😂 Now she's sleeping beside me, poor thing 💕

Humping already?? How old are they? Mine didn't start until they were 6 months. You need to be careful with the backward humping as the one being humped could bite off his brothers bits 🍆 Rabbits can get really really aggressive. I'll have to send you some videos of my crazy hormonal boys from back then. Also, what are their names??!!!

Their baby must be going on 4 months. I held him and he's so heavy! I forgot what they fell like! Thought he'd be a similar weight to my cat but I suppose he's a real life human and we're all just heavy 😂

We've had non-stop rain too. It's annoying because I really need to sort the garden out. We burnt some wood yesterday, which was a huge success, so we're slowly starting to clear up all the mess we've made.

Update!

1. Temp went up a bit today. Overlay chart excludes last cycles progesterone-influenced chart. Seems like my highest temp for 7DPO so far.
2. Spoke to GP. I'll be having a blood test next week Friday for FSH and also Rubella antibodies. She also wants to check progesterone but I've passed 6DPO so may have to do it next cycle. She said once I do my blood tests and send over DH's SA, she'll refer us. Told her we'd been trying a year and a half 😂 I've let DH know to remember that we started TTC Jan 2020 as a way to see in the new decade 😂😂

Charts.

I think I've ovulated today as my left ovary has been tender and they saw a large follicle on it during the ultrasound. Also my right ovary had 10 follicles on it, which is great news, it means I might produce an okay amount of eggs for IVF. At the previous ultrasound I only had 4 on the left and 5 on the right. I didn't ask how many were on the left this time but hopefully it was a similar amount! They saw the fluid again around my right ovary but the ultrasound isn't clear enough to determine if the fluid is in my fallopian tubes, so I won't know until I have the MRI. Still waiting for a letter with a date for the MRI.

Your temps are looking great! They're the highest yet since 4DPO 😀. Dare I ask, have you got any symptoms??

Sounds like your GP appointment went well! What CD do you expect to be on next Friday? FSH needs to be done between CD1-5, ideally CD3. We also started TTC in Jan 2020 😉.

Oh no! That sucks about the leak! How bad is it, do you need a bucket to catch the water?

Two Fridays a month as full days off, that's awesome! My mind is always more productive in the morning, so I like starting work early. Although now with the rabbits my morning routine has extra jobs! Start times vary depending on whether I have a bath or shower and what I make for breakfast.

Aww Aski doesn't look very impressed! Glad the op went well, have they given you some painkillers for her? How long does she need to keep the recovery shirt on for? She looks cute in it, bless her!

The rabbits are 9 weeks and doing loads of humping! I thought the grey one was submitting to the white one but today he did some humping, including face humping! We've finally named the grey rabbit Wispa 😊.

Haha yeh babies look little and light but can be quite heavy, I think Mums build up a lot of strength picking up babies and young children all the time!

How long do you think it will take to burn all the wood you've chopped? More rain again today 🙄, ready for summer now!

.

Happy 1DPO, although quite a late one you got there in the end! Did they tell you the size of the follicle? Did you get to see it as well? That's really good news about the 10 follicles! The number does vary from cycle to cycle so hopefully once you start on IVF meds it'll really encourage a good number to grow. Annoying about the fluid, but I guess it confirms what you already knew. Just need to wait for the MRI to give you greater visibility into your tubes, hopefully you won't have too long to wait for it. Are you feeling a bit more optimistic?

My temp went up to 36.9 today 😱 this is my highest natural temp yet and it's on par with my temps from my progesterone-influnced cycle. I've done an overlay. The only difference is last cycle I reached the higher temps sooner. I think it'll hover at that temp before falling around 10dpo. I have my usual symptoms. Sore boobs and nipples, some cramping. Nothing unusual.

Ah, depending on when AF starts, I'll probably be between CD5 and CD7, so it'll be too late for that too. I'll have to call in and see if there are any cancellations so I can go in earlier. Annoying!

Haha! High five to Jan 2020 😂😂😂

It's not terrible. Just a small leak above our bed. We still sleep below it so it's not major but could turn into a bigger problem if we don't sort it out. We have roofers coming in today to have a look at it. Hopefully the quote isn't too steep or else we may have to delay IVF for a few months or go via the NHS.

Haha oooh! You can basically choose your own start time? It's good to have flexibility. How's life with the rabbits? Glad to hear a name has been given to your little grey one! So cute!! I suppose it's nice (?) that they're taking it in turns to get a good hump in 😂😂😂

Yes, Aski has medication she has to take for a few days. She's doing much better now. No more growling and she's up and about. On the day of her op when she got home, her poop was really loose and got stuck in her fur so I've been cleaning her up over several days. I've just put our bedding in the wash too although we made her sleep on her blanket while on our bed 😷

Gosh imagine if you have a clingy baby and have to carry them everywhere. My arms would be so tired after about 1 minute 😂 I better start working out then!

I'm really hating this weather although it has stopped a bit right now so I'm tempted to start a fire and burn more. I'm going to the recycling centre today so will take as much wood and garden waste as I can with me. That'll save us some time.

Cancelled my appointment at ABC. Roof is going to cost us at least £7000 😭😭😭

Oh no!! Do you have home insurance? Do you think this was an existing problem with the property? Try and get a few quotes to make sure you're not being ripped off. That's such a shame you had to cancel with ABC ☹️, at least you've got the ball rolling with the NHS.

I didn't get to see anything on the scan, my head was kind of behind the monitor, so I could only see the back of it. I will be asking to see the MRI results though! Yes I am feeling more optimistic now there's more follicles on my ovaries, it's given me hope that they will get plenty of eggs!

Your temp is doing amazing! I wonder if the progesterone boost last month has made your body realise it's not producing enough, so its produced more this time?!

The hospital here has a blood walk in area, anyone can just walk in for a blood test. They look up your details on the system and see what the doctor has requested. Why don't you ask your GP if that's possible? Then you can go to the hospital to have the FSH done on the right day.

Yes luckily my work is very flexible with start/finish times, it makes it much easier to attend appointments.

The rabbit humping has calmed down 😂😂 they must have established the hierarchy! Got them booked in for vaccinations on Sunday, then we can let them out in the garden. They're very lazy rabbits, they don't do much 😂 I was expecting rabbits to run, jump and play but these two just eat and sleep 😂😂. Do you remember how energetic yours were when you first got them?

Oh no that's not nice with Aski's poop 😕, has it hardened up yet?

I guess your arms would build up the strength because you start with a newborn and then they slowly get heavier and heavier, so hopefully the muscle building keeps up!

The weather here is horrendous today 🌧️🌧️

Today is 9DPO for me as per the thread title! So it's perfect for symptom spotting, only thing is, there are no symptoms to spot! 😂

Yup it was defo an existing issue. In the survey report, the surveyor said repairing the roof lining wasn't necessary???? And now we have a leaky roof 😒 We got one quote at £7500 and another at £15000!!! We're waiting for a 3rd quote then will choose the best one. It's annoying but there's not much else we can do. It'll probably take us another 2/3 months to save up for IVF again but DH now wants us to save a substantial amount as an emergency fund before we go for IVF so it could be 6 months until we have enough in the pot.

Ah that's annoying. When I had my scan done, the monitor was facing me, so I could see everything. Not that I knew what I was looking at 😂 MRI scan would defo be interesting to see! It'll probably be super clear too so you'd know exactly what you were seeing.

Your chart looks like how mine usually looks. You have the ovulation dip I usually get with the temp the day after at a similar point as the temp from the day before. Then you have a slow rise like how I usually do. Interesting! I think I spoke too soon about my temps. I got a bit of a drop today, which is really interesting for 9DPO. I usually get drops this big when AF is imminent and I'm not due for 3 days yet. Tomorrow will tell all!

Thanks for the info! I've checked and there is apparently a service like that in the area but they require a slip from your doctor. All I have is verbal confirmation of needing one. I've also checked their online booking system and the earliest availability is 28th May, so too late anyway. I'll call in to see if there's an earlier date, or better yet, having a 14 day LP!

My white rabbit is very hyperactive and never keeps still. He's very inquisitive and wants to go everywhere and chew everything. He's very happy and excitable and not shy at all. Grey rabbit is the complete opposite. He's very reserved. Doesn't really hop around. He's happy to stay in one place. He has a quiet curiosity about him and isn't as defiant as his brother. He gets easily upset and hides a lot. With your rabbits, you'll start to understand their personality. Maybe they're just introverted? My rabbits have always lived outdoors and they were only ever vaccinated once and I didn't bother with it again and we had loads of mosquitos when we lived near the river but they're doing ok. Fingers crossed it stays that way. It's really expensive to vaccinate them (and if I'm honest, I can't be bothered)!

How are yours doing? Are they ok with being picked up?

Yes, I think her poop is doing much better but she had some solid pieces stuck in her fur today 🤢 I took her and her blanket off my bed because she stunk. Wait until you have to start cleaning your rabbits poopy butt. I've had to do it for both grey rabbit and Aski 💩

I managed to burn a lot of the wood yesterday. The garden looks much tidier now. I'm taking the last of the garden waste to the recycling centre again today.

I also have family staying over tomorrow so we have cleaners coming in tomorrow. Are you doing anything for your weekend?

Haha once a month our cycle matches the title of this thread 😂.

How comprehensive was the survey you had?If the surveyor said the roof was fine and it's not, you could make a claim against them because you've bought a house based on false, or inadequate information given by them. I would get at least 5 quotes, when you're gonna be spending £1000s you want to make sure you've got the best deal.

I probably could have asked more questions at the scan but it always feels like they're trying to rush you out 😕.

Your temp hasn't dropped too much, it's still pretty high 🙂, what it does tomorrow will be a big indicator of what's happening. Could always be an implantation dip 🤞. If it goes up again do you think you'll test, or wait a few more days? Yeh my temps aren't doing anything too exciting yet, hopefully I'll get a good rise tomorrow.

I think your GP should be able to request the blood test, add it to their system and then all you need to do is walk in to the hospital. Might be worth asking them as you don't want to delay treatment over a blood test. Hopefully they'll be able to sort something for you.

My rabbits are quite similar to yours, when they're not eating or sleeping, the white one is more energetic and hates being picked up (which is strange because for the first two days he was the easier one!). The grey one is much calmer, often hides and takes a while to investigate, however he doesn't mind being handled. Trying to cut the white ones nails is impossible, he just constantly wriggles, how do you manage it?

Oh no, might be easier to cut the poopy fur off? I've had to wipe wee off their fur but luckily no poos yet, they've all been little hard balls! Although they have squished some poos into the hutch wood 🙄.

Great job on the garden! It sounds like you've made lots of progress, what's the next task?

I'd love to hire a cleaner, instead I've made a house jobs board for us 😂😂. On Saturday we're going to view a wedding venue and then on Sunday taking the rabbits to the vets. Fingers crossed they are both boys or we'll be having a lot more rabbits 😂😂.

I hope you have a nice weekend with your family and they don't put pressure on you about babies.

I had a dream that you were pregnant, let's hope it's this cycle!

Haha aww!! That would have been nice but a pregnancy is looking unlikely this cycle. Two days of falls almost certainly means AF is coming soon!! Oh well, at least I tried. Onto cycle 10!

😂😂😂 Who would have thought we would go through some many 9DPOs! There's no way I would have imagined I'd still be here 9 cycles later. I wonder when it'll finally happen for us...

It was a pretty comprehensive survey. We paid for the most expensive one, especially because of issues like this!! I'll have to research into claiming against a surveyor. It's definitely annoying and we could have saved ourselves £££ on the house price. We got a 3rd quote yesterday for £4500, which we can afford straight away so we'll go with that contractor. Luckily it means we maybe be able to afford IVF sooner, however DH still wants that emergency fund first!!!

It's good that you'll have a consultation to ask all the questions you want to ask. At least by the time it comes around, they'll have a good overall picture of your reproductive system so you'd be more informed. Did you manage to sort out the NHS funding?

I probably won't bother testing this cycle unless my LP somehow manages to be longer than 12 days. How are your temps today? Still rising up?

I think the blood test is on the system but walk-in blood tests have stopped for now because of covid. I'll just have to plan my blood tests for my next 7DPO and CD3. I'll only have to wait about a month. In the meantime, I have no choice but to keep TTC. I thought starting with abc was the respite I needed but looks like I'll have to keep DTD for a while longer 😪😭

To cut their claws, wrap them up in a blanket so they can't move. Their claws will stick out of the fabric and just cut it through there 😂😂😂 When mine were younger, they hated being picked up, but now they're impartial to it. They don't kick and flap around anymore when I pick them up but sometimes they will make me chase them until they finally submit! But they usually always let me pick them up.

I went through a lot of wipes and used a wet flannel to get her clean. She's much better now and less smelly. I think she's done most of the cleaning herself. Once her wound has healed, I'll give her a bath! Good that the rabbits poops are hard balls. Nice and healthy! Don't be surprised if you see some that are softer. Those are called cecotropes and they eat them to reabsorb the nutrients 🤢 They might even eat them out of each others bums 🤢🤢🤢

So for the garden, what I'm thinking is the following:

1. cut down remaining/unwanted trees/plants
2. clear the ground of large rocks, stones and debris
3. demolish the pond (I can't wait. I hate it!)
4. mow the lawn and use a tiller to break up the earth
5. level the garden
6. sow slow growing grass seeds
7. enjoy my new garden!

And somewhere between steps 1 and 7, we'll need to install new steps to the bottom half of the garden and also add some planters to either side of the steps. Something like in the attached photo.

The cleaner cancelled on us! So DH and I started with the cleaning ourselves last night. I'll finish off with the hoovering and cleaning the bathroom today. Fun!

Eeeeeee!! So good to hear you're continuing with the wedding planning. That is so awesome! What sort of venue is it?? What else have you started planning again? Will you be getting insurance for your rabbits? My boys are insured but I'm seriously thinking about whether it's even necessary. They're completely healthy and thrive outdoors amongst the bugs and the bacteria 😂

Just had a damp specialist come in to do a survey of the house. We have a leaking pipe under the floorboards but the insurance company can sort it out. He also checked the roof and all is fine! No leakages! The leak isn't coming from the roof!!! It's coming from where the wind is blowing the rain in above the window! So these roofers quoting us thousands weren't even needed!!!!! It cost us £140 to get the specialist in and he's just saved us thousands! All we need to do is have the gutters cleaned 😂😂😂 all that and I don't even have an ivf appointment to show for it. At least we know what needs to be done. Our roof is fine! Gosh!!!

Oh wow, great news your roof doesn't need repairing! But very cheeky of the builders quoting you for work that doesn't need doing!! Good job you had a damp specialist take a look. Can you contact ABC and rebook the appointment?

Oh that's a shame to see your temp creeping down, maybe my dream was a prediction of the future, not the present!

Yep it's disappointing it's taking so long, I can't even remember what cycle I'm on now, if it's your 9th then it must be my 11th. At least one of us needs to keep track 😂😂.

So the funding issue isn't sorted, they're claiming the form I signed was just to have one procedure on the NHS and then I'd go back to self funding. But that's not what I was told by the consultant at my first ultrasound. I thought I was signing to completely transfer to the NHS. So I've asked for a copy of what I signed, I'll have to see what it says and then decide how to proceed. It's horrible because they wouldn't let DP attend the appointment, I had lots of questions especially after the fluid discovery and I had to make a quick decision on the next steps. So it all felt very rushed. I knew if I went away and thought about it, treatment would be delayed because it's very difficult to speak with a consultant outside of the appointments.

Small rise for me this morning and looking good compared with previous 3 cycles. I haven't had a 8 day LP for a few months now, so hopefully they're slowly getting longer!

Thanks for the tip, I'll try wrapping them up! Ah I had seen the occasional softer poo and I saw them eating poos, I was wondering why they were doing that!! Gross bunnies 🤢

Gosh that sounds like there's still a lot of work left! Does your DH help out too? Removing the pond and leveling out the garden are pretty big jobs, will you hire help for those? The garden in the picture looks lovely, did you create that on Sims? 😂

It's the Dartmouth Hotel & Spa, DP already has a favourite venue that we saw last year but I'd like to have a second option. Also means we get to go out for lunch 😊 because obviously we need to try their food! 😂

Haven't started any other wedding planning, been trying to plan my birthday but the venue I want isn't very quick to respond to emails 🙄.

I haven't got the rabbits insured yet, unsure if they need it. The most expensive possible cost would be an operation but I'm hoping they wouldn't be too costly for rabbits 😕 and also hoping they won't ever need one! Have you got Aski insured? I'm guessing cat vet bills would be higher.

We got really really lucky! It would have been an expensive job that wouldn't fix the problem at all! And I can't believe the roofers didn't let us know it wasn't a roof related leak! I'm shocked!! Everyone's just out to make dishonest money!

Regarding abc, DH wants us to wait a couple of months to build up a bit of a cash pillow then maybe in the summer we can start. So at least it isn't 6 months away anymore.

Haha you're the 3rd person who has had a dream that I was pregnant. I suppose it'll happen eventually then! I think AF is starting anyway. Saw a speck of brown when I wiped. Now for some reason, I have this ache in my lower back, which goes down into my bum and side. I can barely stand up straight or walk! It's going to be one of those AFs 😫 so uncomfortable 😭😭 I think I might cry.

I'm not too far behind you! I'll soon be at cycle 11, then 12, then 18. FML 😂😂

You definitely made the right call making a decision on the spot but I definitely agree that it was a tough decision, especially when you weren't in the right frame of mind to think through everything there and then. It would be unfortunate if you'd have to go back to self funded but I think you should really fight to stay on the NHS even if that means putting you at the bottom of the list. They know there's an issue so there should be no reason why they'd make you start the process all over again through your GP.

Nice! It's defo your highest 4DPO temp compared to the past 3 cycles! Hopefully you'll get your highest ever temps and LP this cycle. Your temps are pretty steady too. Are you sleeping better?

Yeah DH does help out with the garden, especially with the heavy lifting. It's nice doing things together with him. We really work well together and we're very much aligned so he's someone I enjoy as a team mate as well as a husband. You must be looking forward to calling your DP your husband? Do you have any dates in mind?

Wooow that venue is gorgeous 😍 You'd be able to get amazing pics! The venue your DP likes, is it as nice as this one?

Call the venue you want to use for your bday, then they'd have no choice but to talk to you.

Actually cat vet bills are cheaper than rabbits. I think because rabbits are more niche/specialist it costs more. I paid loads to get my boys neutered, I paid much less to have Aski spayed and microchipped - and this was at the same vets! Even insuring Aski is cheaper. Rabbits are medically expensive 😂😂😂

I'm in so much pain 😭😭 My achy back. This has never happened before 😭😭😭😭

Also, the pic wasn't from the Sims although it does look like it 😂😂 I found it on google images. And I'm contemplating hiring help. Let's see how it goes!

AF is here!

Oh no sorry to hear your af started ☹️, does that mean your LP was only 9 days? That's quite short for you. My temp went down this morning so not looking good here either! I've got to sort the rabbits and then get ready to go out but I'll respond properly when we're back later. Be kind to yourself and get some treats in this weekend 😊.

I think it'll be a 10 day LP. I was expecting a gush of blood when I got out of bed this morning but it hasn't quite started yet. Just normal AF coloured blood when I wipe but nothing on my pad yet, so it's definitely starting, but just really really slowly! You've had cycles where you've had a dip at 5DPO, so I wouldn't worry about It. It should go back up again. Good luck with the rabbits!

IVF is back on the table! Scan is now 4th June (on CD14 so I'll probably be ovulating!) and consultation is 8th June. So I'm now 4 days behind my original appointment. I'll probably have to start the IVF in my July cycle though.

Yay great news IVF is back on 😀😀! You can get excited again, June is very close and will fly by! I wish my IVF was soon but its prob 6 months away.

Back from the vets and both bunnies are healthy boys and now vaccinated. So we can let them outside in a week, if the weather is better! Their testicles haven't descended yet 😂, so too early to neuter them, 6 more weeks to wait! They had a weird set up where I had to hand them over at the front door and then wait in the car. It didn't feel very nice not being able to see what was happening but they said the bunnies were friendly and inquisitive, so hopefully they weren't too scared.

How has your weekend been with your family? We had quite a busy day yesterday, I really liked the venue, the layout of the rooms was perfect and there was loads of space. However DP still preferred another venue we've seen (Berry Head Hotel). Both venues are in South Devon so we decided to go back to the Berry Head after having lunch at the Dartmouth Hotel. The food is better at the Berry Head but because it's on a cliff top it's very windy. Both venues are similar on price, so we're a bit stuck atm but DP doesn't like the Dartmouth one ☹️. How easy did you and your DH find it choosing a venue?

Received a letter yesterday from the fertility clinic with a copy of what I signed, the wording mentions consultations and treatment for suspected Hydrosalpinx. So they're mad to try and charge me for this consultation. Unless they're trying to claim the consultation is for my fertility treatment in general and not just about the Hydrosalpinx. But the appointment will be dominated by the results of investigations for the hydrosalpinx. DP wants to just pay it so we don't fall out with them and will make sure in the next consultation that they transfer us fully to NHS funding.

Some nights I sleep well, some nights I wake up and struggle to go back to sleep. Overall there's probably more nights of good sleep. How about you? Have you been able to fall and stay asleep throughout the night?

Aww that makes the best relationships, when you're a team 😊. Haha yes it will be strange to start with but will be awesome being husband and wife! Date wise we're thinking May, June or July 2022 although that doesn't really fit in with fertility treatment, as I would hope to be pregnant by then!

How is your back? Hope this af hasn't been too mean to you.
