No funny stories today, but I got my calendar from the clinic. My EC date is set for June 7 with transfer to follow June 10!!!
We'll see if they hit it on the nose as they did last time. It can easily move a day or two in either direction, as you all know.
Somehow, having a date gets me excited!

LittleP,
Are you nervous about your blood test tomorrow? I forget where you are... it might already be tomorrow there.
(your ticker said one more day)
If you do end up in June instead of May, we'd LOVE to have you and you'll be in good company there too!
All My Best

Yes, I am nervous because I really don't understand what Auto Immune Screening is all about.
The test is tomorrow so not long to think about it - I will let you know more about dates as soon as I have them. The results take 2 weeks, so it won't be before mid-April now.
Great news on your dates Randa - a bit earlier than me (I'm about two weeks after you) but I think Joanne was working on similar dates to you. Good luck Little P - not sure what the test is all about either but the more they know the better I guess so it can only be useful.

Hi Guys
Hope you all had a great Easter ,I did and indulged in loads of chocolate!!!
I have just had my first Humira shot so I now feel that my tmt is well under way. If all goes to plan(and lets face it it never does!!) I am due to have my fsh levels checked around June 5th.
LittleP
Good luck with the blood tests.
Randa
It is good to hear you have some dates now. June will be upon us in no time.
Cheryl
Hope the neck is getting better
Joanne
Hope the back is ok and I hope you get AF soon
Ellie - good luck with your shots and lets be positive that your fsh levels will be low by June!!
Little P - PMA Re: bloods tomorrow!!!!!
Cheryl - how is the neck?? I am off to chiropractor in the morning, can't wait!
Randa - think I am just after you, called the clinic to book in for definite - EC planned for 27th June
Thanks for all the helpful advice (Sandra, Cheryl and anyone else who wrote lots of words of wisdom!!!) for my problem........I called clinic who said if nothing has happened by Thursday to go and see them, have to say I have had pains like AF about to happen but still nothing, just trying to relax and sure it will turn up (never thought I'd be relieved to have AF!!!)
Take care all

I know what you mean, us girls spend most of our lives hating the day of AF - now when you're going through IVF you spend your life wishing the days away until it arrives -
Just trying to keep our June/July thread from falling too far down the page.
Updates anyone? What's on the agenda for April?
Me-
*went back on birthcontrol pills Sunday. Boobs starting to perk up
*Surgery to take the titanium screws out of my foot (that I broke back in January) on Monday, April 4 Mixed feelings there (glad they are coming out, but dreading the re-injury it will cause - worried it might set me back on my progress).
*Uterin polyp surgery set for April 22. (My dh will be treking in Bhutan, so my Mom's coming from New Mexico to stay with me
Next?

Little P - your plan sounds good!!!
April for me is taking some time off work (have some holidays to use up before my leave year at work runs out), pottering in the garden (weather permitting!) and starting acunpuncture in preparation for next ivf in the summer.

Hello all,
I have been away from the board for a while - firstly because I was soooo busy when I returned to work after being of for several weeks. I was also having difficulty in getting used to the last tmt not working. Then we decided to go away for Easter - it was lovely to get away from everything after the disappointment. The weather was lovely and we spent lots of time walking on Dartmoor.
Then back to work this Tuesday and have been really busy again. I just don't know where the time goes. Also DH doesn't let me get on the computer very often - he has a tendency to hog it to himself!!! He's out tonight so I'm busy catching up.
It's nice to see people being given dates - we don't have our follow up appointment until the end of April so won't be given dates until after that. I just want to get going again now. All the waiting drives me mad. It's bad enough waiting at each stage of the tmt but waiting for it to start is worse.
We're also moving house during May so I probably won't have much of a chance to keep right up to date with you all, but I'll be with you in spirit.
Have fun all
Love

Hi everyone
Debbie - like you I've been so busy last few days - haven't been online and it feels like forever! Good to see you back - house move sounds exciting - might be just what you need in terms of fresh start - new interest - might help take mind off treatment.
Joanne - went to chiropractors twice this week and it really helped - at one stage there was a huge crunch and my spine seemed to jump back into shape - Hope he knew what he was doing! I do feel a lot better though. How's your back and AF coming along? Do you start down regging this month on Day 21?
Ellie - great to see you back - glad you've started the shots - must feel good to be underway. When do you start downregging etc or is your protocol different cos of Humira.
Randa - So glad you're all up and running for your treatment but you sound very busy with other treatment too - hope all goes really well for you
Little P - How were your tests? Hope all went really well and you can start preparing for treatment. Hows reflexology going? Do you feel it's helping - that's one thing I will definitely try when I get some time.
How's the healthy eating everyone? Has anyone started yet? I'm still in turmoil as to whether to change clinics - mine is all set for me to start again whenever I'm ready (on a Day 21) so I could start downregging in April, May or June. However, I've just received an initial appointment for Care Northampton for April (I'd forgotten I'd rung them when I was so distressed at having to wait 4 months for my follow up appointment with current clinic - ironically enough they will start new treatment before I have had follow up for last treatment cos consultant not available very often!!) I'm very confused but I know Care do killer cells testing and lots of innovative things so I am tempted but then I'm worrying that it might hold treatment up. I shall have to ponder this a while - any helpful advice happily received! Cherylx
