Kurama, just try your best with DTD. I must confess that after TTC for so long I no longer enjoy the act :(

Annie, how did you get on yesterday?

Ridgeway, best of luck!

Stone, best if luck with the IUI.

As for me, we missed doing the DTD at the right time as my DH was tired and then couldn't perform on several occasions. I resorted to using the softcup today but I think I ovulated 2 days ago :( :(

The only other news that I have is that I'm looking into IVF clinics and will be visiting three that are the closest to where I live/work. A friend recommended a clinic in Central London but I'm not sure that I can fit it with the school run.... And let's not forget work - I started a new job 4 weeks ago & I have a 6 months probation period.

LondonSuperTrooper · 02/08/2014 11:52

Sorry I couldn't have names in bold. I'm on the phone & it's a pain to do it.

AnnieHoo · 02/08/2014 12:08

Love your work Ridgway! Grin

Stone, sounds like things are looking good for IUI next week Smile

Kurama hope you managed to get the deed done in time for ov this month.

London I didn't go to the interview Blush. I had a total meltdown on Thursday before AF arrived and just couldn't take the pressure. I was so washed out on Friday I would have been rubbish anyway. I've already accepted a new job I got 2 weeks ago so I'm sticking with that. Like you say it's really difficult trying to fit the IVF in with starting a new job. I won't have enough holidays and because I live far away I've got to stay for 2 weeks near the clinic. So I'm going to try and stall my starting date until beginning of October.

I spoke to the clinic yesterday and they can book me in to start IVF when they have all our blood results and my smear. I'm expecting to get all the results in by mid August. If so I can start the pill on 21 Aug or 1st Sept.

I'm thinking of starting a new thread for anyone about to start IVF so please join that London if you end up there.

Good luck everyone on Clomid. We have to use condoms from now on so I'm over and out here! xxxxx

LondonSuperTrooper · 02/08/2014 16:24

Annie, I'm really sorry about your melt down & I hope that you are feeling better now. TTC is truly a roller coaster ride & it seems for most of us we have more downs than up :(

Where about in the uk are you? I think it's fantastic that you've already chosen a clinic & is going ahead with the IVF :)

As you know, I'm also going for IVF. I'm hoping to choose a clinic by October and aim to have my IVF cycle in January - this is when my probation period ends.

And of course I'll come over & join your new thread :)

ridgway28 · 02/08/2014 17:00

Wow stone.fx and good luck x I'm feeling hopeful at the moment.howz everyone else?

ridgway28 · 05/08/2014 18:03

stone looks like wete cycle buddies. im currently cd14 today I ovulated around cd9-11. I had stomac pains too which I put down to ovulation! today I have craping. and slight bleeding when wipping! looking on the net it suggests on a number of pages that this in implantion pain and bleeding and from this moment HGC Levels start??

question do I test or wait im only cd14???? am I reading too much? should I be concerned about the pain? FC wont see me till sep and dr wont help me either!! so confusing Sad Sad Sad

StoneBaby · 05/08/2014 18:09

Ridgeway - I think I would wait before POAS as you're still cd14.

So IUI was today I guess ovulation happened/is happening. Dtd tomorrow again just in case and then 2ww
