Wow! Stillfrazzled I really hope that bub stays put til Friday - what is with the babies on this thread? Don't they have calendars????
Mumatron you obviously need to start talking to yourself a bit more. V interesting to hear it took an age for your DH's results to come through. I'm going to just ask for his to be booked again, on the off-chance they really ARE lost. Also. Sex??? Ok, I know they say it can bring on a baby...but surely that deserves a medal in itself.
I hope you're able to eat and store up energy. And are resting as much as possible.
LunaticF we have been recording EE, and are about a week and 1/2 behind but I'm aware of the story and know that it's coming up. I'm quite relieved that if necessary we can just delete the episode but I'm annoyed that they did it in the first place AND that the story will then drag on. Not sure what we're going to do.
Hairy sorry you've been in a bad place. If it's any comfort at all, I found my second lost last year very very difficult indeed, the grieve was deep and I felt very lonely going through it as it just didn't seem to affect DH in the same way. Time really is the only thing that helped me at all, and this time of year has thrown me back several times. I'm feeling quite determined about just placing one foot in the front of the other sometimes. I can't look too far forward either, because the possibility of having another year like the one that is just been is too hard to bear.
My advice is to push for the day 3 FSH test. That is going to give you a more recent picture of how your ovaries are doing at least, then once you have that you can look at your options in the light of those results.
The IVF stats aren't great reading, and it is a lot of money. That's a big decision but I think you're going through all this in a really positive way, getting as much information about your current status as possible and making really well-considered decisions. Well done. Go easy on yourself, there are some things that you can do, but there are some thing that you are going to have to accept are beyond your control, like the timeframes for appointments etc. So concentrate on what you can do, and do your best to breathe and let go of the things you can't.
((((Huge hug for you.))))
LovelyBunch sounds like you're doing all the right things, hope that OPK+SWI=BFP for you. Peppa Pig show was pretty good, lots of singing and dancing and audience involvement. DS was rapt by it all and enjoyed the whole idea of being invited to Peppa Pig's birthday party. (He loves birthdays anyway). The puppetry was ok, but I always find 3d representations of Peppa a bit weird looking. They're so flat in the tv show that when they're made round they seem much too round. Maybe that's just me. Was also quite nice to see other kids having small meltdowns - which sounds odd, but because I not a SAHM, I don't really get to see other kids that often, as it's his childminder that takes him to playgroups etc. So I only really get to see DS's tantrums and maybe a few close friends' children. It's just nice to see that what he does is quite typical IYSWIM. Very pleased to hear that your DD is a bit better today. You should have a period within 16 days after ovulation. Not much point testing til 12-14 dpo I don't think?
LAF don't know if you're out there lurking, but I hope you're doing ok in the (horrible) circumstances, taking care yourself and knowing we're thinking of you.
Laurabeth, Havingkittens, BrownB, Justmee, I hope you're doing ok. Laura I read your first post as I realised I didn't know what you had gone through and I'm quite appalled at what happened to you. I think it just underlines my feeling that when it comes to my own healthcare I have to go in fighting my corner, and if that means waving something under the nose of the dr who is has just told me a load of cobbleers, then so be it. This doesn't come naturally to me, but I'm learning

Glittery I hope that the relief of reaching little deadline of January continues on for you. Hang in there!
So, as is traditional for me, I'm stopping by right at the end of a cycle, hoping hoping that the next cycle won't start. Cross fingers and all your preggos please send pregnant thoughts in my direction. If this cycle doesn't work then I've got one more before we heading into 'trying for 6 months over 35' zone and more testing. Which I'd really rather not do. So come on...let me be pregnant!!
