Warning - long post coming up!!
Marsha - so sorry for you hun. Read elsewhere that it was not your time. Thinking of you & your dh now
Becky - I am gutted for you. That is so c***. Some of the people that we have to deal with have no idea of the stress that this places on us. I was so pleased that you had been able to sort out your busy life thanks to your friend and good old Tescos. Now this. I am sure that with some persuasion that you will be able to get back into see your old clinic especially if it is only just over 6 months since you were there. Big hugs hun
JB - Hope that the bloods came back yesterday ok. What news?
Jen1d - 7 day stint ehhhh. You are a right one to talk about working too hard

Hope that your cold has now cleared and you have a great time at the party this evening. Let your hair down !! Hope that you now have dh's notes and are all set for Big B. Appointment getting very close now hun

Rachel - know that you will not see this until you are back but hoping that you & dh have a terrific holiday together. You must be looking great after losing all that weight sweetie
Shantala - you are quiet. Hope that you are not too busy with the new job.
Gill - I am so sorry to hear about your dh. It is good that they found it and hopefully now will be able to get it under control. How is he doing with the injections?
Green - sorry hun. It sounds as if you are having a hard time too. Hopefully you will be able to work it out with the two hospitals so that you can cycle over the summer
Em - thanks for dropping in with the news about Lauralou and her twins. Cannot believe how close it is now for you either!
Steph - thanks for keeping an eye on the Feb/March girls. You are already nearly through the 1st trimester which is fab
Big hi to everyone else.
Lots for me to to report too. dh back. Only when they are away do you realise how much you need/want/miss them. AF almost gone. Great. Mood improving! Cold almost passed too. Went and had bloods taken on Wednesday (D2). FSH a little higher at 5.2 (but understand that D2 is usually higher than D1 anyway) but they gave me the green light to start. YEAAAAAHHHHH. Dr called me on Thursday and said given that the immunes were ok had we made a decision about PGD/PGS. Given 3 implantation failures of 7 good quality embies, they think that testing the embies before they go back could be an answer given the immunes showed up nothing. So dh and I discussed and given that this will likely be our last role of the dice with my eggs we have decided to throw the kitchen sink at it. Nobody will be able to say that we did not try everything!!!! So first stage is chromosone testing for me & dh. Went and got that done yesterday as takes 3 weeks for results to come back. Picked up nasal spray for down regging whilst we were at the clinic. OMG. OMG. It suddenly all feels real and I don't know whether to swing from the rafters or go loopy with fear. So my protocol will look something like.......
D28 - 18th June - start nasal spray 3 times a day
D35 - 25th June - AF - hopefully
D4/D6 -c 29th June - Scan
2nd July Hysteroscopy and then start stimmies
Onto daily bloods and then twice daily check ups
Looking at EC around mid July and testing end July
Aunty - no need to put all this on the beautiful list as no doubt all the dates will alter!!!!! May be just add the date that I start down regging? Thanks - you are a star as always. I shall update my ticker now I have an agreed date to start
Pheewww. Lots to update you on. Enjoy the bank holiday weekend although we could do with the weather cheering up.
Love to you all.
Carolyn
