emerald good news on the clear bloods 
salstar welcome, but sorry to hear your story. Can I ask why you had ivf? Am I right that you've had 6 natural pregnancies? I've been reading a lot by Robert Winston recently so excuse me if I'm being overly intrusive, but he writes a lot about ivf being used unnecessarily given its low success rates. He believes that unless you have a diagnosed issue that is causing infertility (ie blocked tubes) you are just as likely to get pg naturally as through Ivf, and ivf is a horrible thing to go through if you don't need it. It gives me some hope that it could still happen for us, but not a lot, given we've been trying almost 4 years and haven't managed a natural pregnancy yet!
My advice would be to go to Coventry and get the nk cells testing. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than ivf! If you can conceive naturally the pregnancy has a better chance. Ivf pregnancies carry a higher risk of mc and premature births (depending on which research you read) and they're not sure of the long term effects on the child of some of the drugs given today (depending on your clinic and what they've put you on) - again I'm referring to Robert Winston's writing, but he talks about studies on mice showing altered behaviour in later life. Until the babies born today are approaching retirement, they won't know if they've been affected or not.
He's not saying there is a problem, just that we don't know yet.
If I thought there was the slightest chance I could get pg naturally, I would not be heading for my second ivf cycle (we had a fresh and frozen cycle earlier this year).
I'm really sorry if I've spoken out of turn, I'm just very absorbed in all this stuff right now.
consider I'm sorry you had another bleed but glad it looks all clear now. Look after yourself first
When I went for the rmc tests I had an internal scan and beforehand the nurse started talking me through what would happen to prepare me for it. When I realised what she was doing I laughed and stopped her, saying I'd had a few already. Having now been through 4 rounds of treatment plus fertility tests plus rmc tests, best guess is I've had about 30+?! Totally normal to walk into a room, say hi to the nurse, drop my knickers and whack my legs up and out for the dildocam! 
Bumble Some people just seem to get lumped with all the shit, and you wonder how they find the strength to get through each day 
Good to see some familiar faces back in here

that the apple people have a swanky new app though, I'm still struggling with the mobile website! (I currently have the thread open on my nexus so I can read it, and I'm replying on my phone!)
I've signed myself and DH up to a yoga day tomorrow. A 2.5 hour energising session in the morning, a mindfulness session, a veggie lunch and then a more relaxing yoga session in the morning. Saw a last minute deal and booked it a couple of days ago. I've not been coping since one of my last remaining childless friends announced she was pg, so I figured some relaxation was worth a try.
It's Saturday morning and I woke up at 5am. Been knackered all week, run down, feeling depressed, and like I'm fighting something off. Was really looking forward to Saturday morning lie in but seems that plan has been stamped with a big F you.
Got the work 'summer party' this afternoon. A bbq all afternoon, family invited. This means all the people in my team will be bringing their kids to meet me. I can't tell you how much I am not looking forward to this. It's Saturday. I strongly object to doing anything work related at the wkd, this was the reason for leaving teaching! It might be a 'social' but I wouldn't choose to go, I feel obliged. At least I'm dragging dh with me
