Su, I'm so sorry that this wasn't your time. Not trying to give false hope or anything, but is it not possible to get blood tests cause they are more accurate. Take a few days off for yourself.
Shantala, beachbaby, ICSI girl, Su, Lara and the rest of you - thank you for all your responses. Somehow you have made me feel better about the injections. Although I'm still terrifed, I'll just have to go along.
Peq, well done on your optimism. Sorry about your ankle though, sounds painful. Hope you are keeping away from the HPTs. When is your test date?
Jen, glad you're enjoying the lazy time. You deserve it. Make the most of it and tell the little ones to stick.
Just one more question. If you are being treated abroad, how do you go about getting a prescription? Or can you just order them based on the what the clinic has notified you of? Do you have to give the pharmacy some time to order them? I'm terribly sorry if I'm asking too many questions.
Awaiting Treatment
angel: first things first..............there is NO such thing as "too many questions" ----- it is what we're here for!! 
secondly --- on THIS side of the pond, other than needing the prescription from your doc --- we can go anywhere we'd like for our med's!!!! i think there are some clinics/docs over here that "include meds" as part of "package deals" ---and i think a lot of clinics/docs have their "preference" of where you get your meds (like my doc pretty much uses "Freedom Fertility Pharmacy" -- they deliver right to your door NEXT DAY......and they don't charge you "extra" for next day delivery)...... but i could tell my doc i wanted to get them elsewhere and they'd allow me to do so.......i don't think they are fond of online/overseas ordering - but more because of the legal aspect of it - not that there's anything wrong w/ those meds 
From what i've seen/read out here --- it looks like us gals in the U.S. get BENT OVER on the price of fertility meds!!!!! I was a "textbook case" (w/ bfn 
) and my meds were about $3,000 USD 
i nearly DIED when she read me the total.......i was all "can you please check again"........to no avail!!! I've actually found this other message board/forum that looks like they have a thread specific to EXTRA MEDS being sold and i'm REALLY considering it for round #2 as i am a CASH PAYING patient!!!! they all say "in original/sealed box"....and often are COD (cash on delivery) - which would allow you to inspect package before handing over $$$$$.... i'm still pondering --- but is a definate maybe!!!!!
steph: i honestly cannot believe that you've not POAS as of yet??? REALLY???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was all set for my speech to you on being way too early!!! ha, ha, ha,!!!!! good luck getting weekend off.... sounds like it would do you GOOD to sit home in jammies OFF FOOT/LEG!!!

Sorry, I probably confused you with my question. Don't blame you. Since this whole infertility business started with me, I'm constantly in a state of confusion.
What I mean was that I reside in UK. But I will have treatment abroad. The foreign doc has already sent me what medication I need for the short protocol and the schedule. In this instance, how do I go about getting the medicine from UK? I need to start medication here and then leave for the actual tmt.

.....and on that note - you (and all others) should COMPLETELY disregard the novel i wrote about meds!!! good grief --- what a jack-a$$ i am!! (but i do it very well if i don't say so myself!! ha, ha, ha )ALSO ON THAT NOTE --- i have NO idea what you need to do for your meds!! sorry....but i'm sure one of the other UK gals out here can answer your question! i'll just ZIP IT for the time being

What a crap day! 
Struggled (and failed) to keep it together at work and ended up having a long talk (and cry) with one of my managers who I hadn't previously told.
Peq, Chocolate cake sounds good - just what I need. I did hpt this morning but have started spotting and cramping since so AFs not far away. I'm guessing she'll arrive Saturday and I've got to work then too.
Just want a day in my pj's but won't get that til Sunday. Tomorrow's one of my days for visiting the children's ward and neo-natal unit too, think it's gonna be tough.
I'm not sure what I'm gonna do next. I've been doing this continually for 5 cycles now (9 months if you count the cancelled cycles at the beginning) and feel like I need a break but only have til Dec to use the donor sperm. I rang the clinic and spoke to the nurse this afternoon. She's gonna ring back tomorrow when she's talked to the consultant. I asked whether its worth increasing my dose as I've still only been getting 1 mature follie. She's also gonna check with the embriologist as he was checking if they'd extend the deadline for the sperm. Will wait and see what she says. The consultant might want me to go in for a full review which I guess won't be soon enough for this cycle anyway. I just feel so worn down by it all at the moment. I'm not ready to give up yet but am not sure how much more I can take.
Thanks for listening
Su

Hello - im so sorry i havent posted in such a long time - things here are getting back to as normal as they can be at our house lol. Its taken its toll a wee bit on me and ive been really down about it all. I know im comming in as me an not Beckster again - i figure if they know, hell they know - wots the point in hiding it anymore.

Everyone else, i know it sounds like ive forgotten about u all, but i promise from the bottom of my heart i havent - i still read u everyday but havent mustered up enough energy to come and post. i think im fed up with it all - i go to work and see my boss blooming pregnant (26+ weeks now) who stands about rubbing her belly every 2 mins - i know its what pg women do, and i really dont mind - but she does it all the time, and she stands at the back door, rubbing her belly and flaming lights up and smokes mun! ffs - just pisses me off. Everyone seems to be pregnant or just had their baby - DH's best mate just had a baby boy - havent mustered up the strength to visit yet, but will do really soon, went out to next and kitted him out (enjoyed that bit - it was shopping lol) oh and get this for a beaut then - DH's Aunty is pregnant with her first baby - thats fine im happy for her - very happy in fact - but this is the miricle of it all - she's 47 and it JUST HAPPENED!! im not saying it shouldnt have, far from it - she has been trying since she got married and had a m/s years and years ago - but what i am saying is ladies -
DONT U DARE GIVE UP - if it can happen for her at 47 - it too can happen for you - as the lottery man says .......
It could be youuuuuuu .... <points finger>
And on that thought, i will say night night - my love and wishes go out to u all, Rachel, Shantala, Jen1d (hugz) Carolyn, Peq, Gill - i do think about u every day - just need some time out now and again .... love to u all

(he thinks he's very cool ) so we'll be going to the game tonight......and is supposed to rain oh well - could be a once in a lifetime experience for my kid.....and the alternative is just sitting my arse home in front of tv!!!! Hoping rest of weekend to be uneventful......rented a chick-flick, "Lucky You" w/ drew barrymore -- dh is already planning his "garage time" while i have my movie going!! ha, ha, ha!! I live w/ 3 men --- i NEVER get to watch chick-flicks ----- so believe me when i say i'll enjoy every second! (maybe i'll eat some bon-bons too!! ha, ha!!)

).........so i just run with it......try not to let myself get COMPLETELY out of control - but at the same time, i do cave to my cravings
OH I KNOW ---- you need to get yourself a good book for the weekend!!! or go rent a ton of chick flicks (or whatever you fancy!!).....if you're interested in a book ---- i recently read "THE SECRET" and it was SO fascinating!!! all about "the power of positive thinking" ---- and i'm not a "reader" --- hate it actually....but i could not put this book down!!! GOOD STUFF right there boy!!!
