Delly - I'm pleased you've got those test out of the way. You're much closer now - and roll on AF !!

Joy - There have recently been a few positive FET stories. I too will be doing an FET in April (hopefully ..!)

Hi Michelle and Stephanie - welcome to this thread :)

Julie and Mia ... You're v. quiet ! Hope you're okay

Kelly - You're getting closer to your 8 March appointment now. Just hang in there .. :)

I've just got home from a Sweed Awareness Course. I got done just before Christmas, and had a choice of either £60 and 3 points, or £85 and this course. The course was actually quite informative and interesting. We'll see if it has any impact on my driving ..!

Hi......can I join too? Having twice made the big announcement that we'd stopped, we've changed our minds.

I've waited sooooooooooo long to say that!! I love this board so much but have been biting my tongue for months. I just called and got my Feb AF + 3 test results and my FSH has dropped from 14 last month to 8.9 this. I'll carry on doing whatever seems to have worked (lots of healthy eating, moderate exercise and no booze or coffee?????).

I guess this means I'll start sniffing at month end or thereabouts, with EC (positive thinking) end of March-ish. My birthday is on Easter Saturday (41 - I'm saying it often to help soften the blow when it lands) so no wild celebrating for me!

I've not read through this thread for a while but will do soon to catch up on who's who and who's doing what.

Debra,

It is nice to see that you will be cycling again. I will be doing a FET, but I have no plans to give up my caffiene....I would not be able to function.

BTW I think we our a very positive group, and I really think that helps.
PMA :D

That's excellent news re the FSH - keep up the good work. You'll actually have your BFP before I hardly get going :D

Wow !!! I am so happy you've decided to give it another shot ...

Thanks for your welcome girls. Jules I hope a good night's sleep helps, it is bloody easy to get down and that's without the stresses and strains of tmt.

It's been a huge week in more ways than one. We bought a house on Tuesday, we've been searching for 4 months having found a buyer informally for ours back in October. The great news is that there's no chain so we can move mid-March which luckily will be before tmt has begun.

Looking forward to chatting to you all.
Debra.

Debra - Glad the moving stuff will be over before tmt begins. Hell, that must be a relief. Then all you have to concentrate on is keepig yourself fit and ready for tmt !!

(I stil can't belive it !!)

Jules...hope the red wine was worth it! I allow myself a glass a night purely for the health benefits.....

I'm off to collect our new meds timetable on Wednesday, I'm assuming I'll start sniffing around 26th or so.

Feeling very positive right now. Although I'll need to dampen it down before my Mum arrives for a 4 day visit this week. We'll not tell my parents about tmt again. They were very supportive previously but get so upset when things go wrong. Besides, they all think we've completely stopped and thrown all our savings into the house....we'll let them think that until we've something else to tell them.

Hugs to all of us...

Hi girls,
Been very busy at work this weekend and done loadsa extra hours too including all day today.
DH totally surprised me today, he's not what i'd call romantic and has been saying all week that Valentines Day is a waste of money and i'm not to expect anything. Well, around lunch time when i was on the till serving a load of customers a guy walked into the shop with a bouquet of flowers and went over to one of the girls i work with, next thing i knew he came over to me and handed me the bouquet. Michael (my DH) ordered them and got them delivered, all the customers in my queue were ooohing and aaahing, it was so sweet of him.

Welcome Debra, that's good news that you will be starting again soon.

Jules, got my fingers, toes and legs crossed for your AF starting this weekend. 12 days and counting until mine is due, knowing my luck it'll be late.
Hi to everyone else aswell.
This was only a quick visit tonight as i'm gonna cook Michael a nice meal for him finishing work at 10pm.
Take care all and talk to you all soon.
Lotsa love

Michelle

Hi All

Michelle - Ahhh that is lovely must have been a really lovely surprise :D

Debra - yes the wine was worth it - I really needed to snap out of my downer and it helped (apart from the small hangover I had yesterday) I don't drink much normally - poisened (can't spell) my liver enough at Uni :!:

Hope your moving plans are going ok - be a good thing to keep your mind off it all.

Sandra, Kelly, Mia - hope you are all ok

Love and hugs
Julie :D

Well, just a quicky to say we're off on hol in the morning for 3 weeks. Am in the middle of packing (and yes, still washing) at the moment. I'm going to really miss everyone on here. 3 weeks ! - How will I cope ?

Hope everyone remains well, and tmts begin according to plan ..
