I had blood test today for FSH, lets hope levels are good, I'll let ya know when I know....

Shantala, I would rush into it, 3 days wow!!! unless u're certain. Take tim this is serious stuff!!!

I know we are all anxious about getting started, but dont rush if u can wait a month!!!

I know what u mean about hospitals, my nan died at our local hosp, after getting MRSA, and now thats freaked me, but would delivering at home be safer???

hey nicky - yes, i know what you mean about rushing into things but i've been told every month that i could start since october!! and for some reason or another there's always been a delay. so i'm soooo ready to start now!! lol. to be honest i did get used to the idea of starting in march for that reason but when they phoned me and said i could possibly start in feb my heart jumped a beat. its not even just coz i want the end result (no matter what it is) to come fast so i can deal with it but i just want to get the tmt started as i'm quite anxious. do you know what i mean??

yes, my dh's mum died of MRSA in that hospital too. dont get me wrong i would never deliver at home (i'd be too scared something goes wrong) but if i can i might try and go to a different hospital. if push comes to shove then i would go to the royal berks but i'm just not very keen, thats all. they just do the simplest of things wrong. like, for example, my dh was in there about 2 months ago with kidney stones and he had to be operated on...when he got to the theatre they realised they hadnt put those tight white socks on him, they hadnt put any ID bands on him, they forgot to put the red arm band on him saying he is allergic to penicillin....then after the operation they gave him his diabetic metformin tablets that he was to have under no circumstances (i kicked up and they said, yes, sorry, we just realised we made a mistake) and when his drip tube came out of the drip bag and fell on the floor they just picked it up and put it back in!!!! :shock: :shock: see what i mean now??? :lol:

thats awful about the Royal berks!! OMG!!!!

I am so anti NHS (No help services!!!) The government has to do something about this MRSA, and now i hear that this winter vomiting bug has hit our local hospital, and it's shut down some of its wards!!

Bad huh???

Anyway, lets hope u do get started sooner.
Wishing everyone a good w-end!!! x xx

Hi girls...was hoping to join all of you...shantala and nikki I have chatted to both of you elsewhere...so i'm stalking you now!! :lol:

Well I'm due AF 1st Feb and should start stimming 1st March if all goes to plan so i thought it might be nice to join you girls! This friday I have my baseline scan and then i'll be waiting for af to arrive...just figure if I have something to do each week then somehow time will go faster :)

Hope you've all had a good weekend!

Hi girls, welcome Rae and Nerms (I am with you also on Feb, so we are stalking each other too, :lol: )

Shantala, it would be great if you could start earlier, I have not been blessed with patience, so if you are like me I guess you would be thrilled to start ASAP, :wink:

Rae, I also might be expecting AF on late Jan, so we might be cycling together.....

Well, I don't have to many news for now, hope to start soon!!!!

hey vicky

yes, i have not been blessed with patience either although i'm definitely getting better at it!! lol.

the list is looking good. i've started to learn how to do it on the other thread as i will be taking over aunty's list on the dec/jan thread for a while soon....although i was not involved in the creating of it...basically, i think you go to www.cheesebuerger.de and click on whichever smiley you like and then copy and paste the code....but i'm not very imaginative so i would find that bit quite tricky...maybe something like:

Image NEW PEOPLE Image

Image CONGRATULATIONS BFP!!! Image

something for the 2ww but not sure what....

ImageSTIMMINGImage

something for downregging but not sure what....

and maybe something for waiting of appointments....

like i said...i'm not very imaginative so if someone is and wants to give it a go then i could send you some of the codes that i've used here...i would offer but if i will be taking over the dec/jan thread as well i think i wont have time to sleep!! :lol:
