AFM: The good news, the embryo is still there with a good heartbeat. The bad news, it's subchorionic hematoma; a big pool of blood forming above the sac. The only thing to do is let is resolve itself; however, it does threaten the pregnancy, so unfortunately it will be a wait and see for awhile. Ugh! As if this isn't agonizing enough...

kits, pottery class! made me laugh. I can totally relate to people trying to console you in the worst possible way without even realising it, people who did not face this TTC nightmare just cant understand what we are going through. I gave up trying to explain this to my close friends, waste of time and energy. I am more comfortable around people who do not know that we are TTC
Jazzbird, I am also hoping that Dr E's treatment is working. even if they refuse us funded IVF cycle we can try and do one privately and for that we still need lower FSH. I am glad I found this lab so I can monitor my FSH progress.
BBbliss, I am so hoping your nausea is a good sign!
Breaking Dawn, how are you feeling?
alison, thanks. I am hoping next cycle my FSH will be lower. Do not get me started on some pregnant women's lifestyle choices makes me furious!
melly, how did your scan go? thinking about you and your little one.
Blythe, thanks! you are thinking just like me. I went for it in the end precisely because it just seems like a lottery (in my case) getting the right FSH levels. One cycle it's almost menopause, the other just higher than normal and I just thought what if for some bizarre reason next month it will get really high? I will have to skip one more month?
I am really sorry your DH is still poorly. his medication may affect his sperm but his count was good previously and he did get you pregnant before so I'd think it should be OK.
your chart looks great! clearly acu/herbs are working their little miracle. also your af got longer which might be a sign that your lining is getting even better
afm, had my AFC: L6/R3, not brilliant but OK. they want over 5 follicles on each ovary but I knew my right ovary does not produce many cos of the cyst and actually 3 is the highest I've seen. interestingly there was no polyp seen so looks like my spotting is still unexplained. I am just keeping my fingers crossed waiting for the clinic to review my results and make a decision. may take weeks

Melly not all is lost, I do understand the worry and agony. I'm praying all turns out well for you and baby.
Briss, I think you age the right decision, I would have done the same. They will take you! Your numbers aren't terrible and you are young, everything counts. Good luck to you
Afm, talk about agony, we went to a cocktail party last night and I had too much to eat and was up half the night with indigestion/nausea and I still don't feel right. I'm 3dp5/6dt and I'm just now getting really nervous, I was doing pretty well till yesterday, I wish I had a real sign of something to ease my worries right now.

melly, how did I miss your post! glad to hear your embryo is doing OK. I have seen a lady over here with hematoma and it was very worrying but tuned out fine. I am hoping it will resolve on its own soon. Did they explain how and why these hematomas form?
BBbliss, the wait is so hard but I'd still wait until 5-7 days post ET cos false negatives are just depressing. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you but I am sure your embies are doing great!

cant believe this! yet another colleague announced his wife is about to give birth to their 4th child!! I am officially the only childless associate in our department… was forced to make small talk about bringing children to work… what seems normal for most people is absolute pain for me.

BBBliss - not long now….hope this weekend is a good one and that you have the best possible news on monday 
Melly - what a worrying time for you. Thinking of you and hoping it all goes well for you
Briss - its difficult to think straight and keep emotions in check when working such long hours. I know you have been working late and i just hope you are able to leave work worries behind this weekend and have some time for yourself. I work regular hours although have also been doing long days this week and the tiredness just pushes me over the edge…not that i am ever that far away from it these days. I finished my book this week [far pavilions] and have been totally swept away with it…it is so epic and such a wonderful distraction from my usual reading matter!
i like my chart but i have been poorly [chesty cough] for a couple of weeks now so that has increased temps. I also took temp at 4 am this morning and it was significantly lower than what it was when i took it again at 6 am. Clearly i chose the highest to stick on my chart for the psychological boost! I also had to change one of my temps so that it showed ovulation on CD13 and not CD11. i did not have any LH sticks in the house so suspect it was the latter which would be in line with other months.
I'm glad you went for it…..i should be going for it myself the week after next. you have done the bloods and ticked that box, you are moving forward and ever closer to your pregnancy.
I forgot to mention - earlier this week i had acu with my new lady. I was super sensitive to the needles this week. She was fiddling with the Ki 9 one [down side on inner lower leg] and my hand involuntarily jumped off the bed…it was like a real shock. I rarely have any reaction to the needles and so i was quite pleased. She put the needle in my chest again between my boobs and i really shouted at her….both she a i were quite shocked but it really really hurt. My sessions with her are 300 for 6 so £50 each thats 30 acu and 15 massage…it is so much more than i pay with the other one but i really look forward to it so i am considering blowing the finances and booking another set [if the IVF fails]. I don't think i will see her during the IVF though as the massage and needling is too much and i would be worried about her bursting my eggs [or something like that]. Our conversations and a bit stop/start and I'm not sure if she understands me when i start talking about upcoming IVF.
During the massage she really feels around my uterus and ovaries with her fingers….she says things are getting better and that i will get pregnant…..

also brought:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Teapigs-Li...=UTF8&qid=1400336872&sr=1-3&keywords=tea+pigs
its delicious

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dr-Bronner...d_sim_d_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1PD7RNXBSWK4YQ1BRCK5

BBbliss, You are such an optimist! have you tested yet? I am hoping and praying!
gingmg, I do not know now long I am to wait for their decision. suspense is hard but trying to stay hopeful that they will give us a chance.
Blythe, pregnancies among associates in our office are so rare that somehow it's particularly hurtful. also staying away from facebook as people seem to think they must provide daily updates on their babies… It's really great to be able to read something not TTC related. I watched 6 seasons of Mad Men and absolutely loved it, takes my mind off TTC and work
re chart, at 4 am your temp is obviously going to be low so I'd adjust. I find it hard to deal with temp when I wake up much earlier or later than my set charting time (which is 7.30-8 am), sometimes I just skip it all together cos it's just going to confuse my chart. I also sometimes play with my temp so I could get my O date right. You most likely ovulated on CD 13 so FF was clearly wrong.
I hate it when needles hurt but then when I do not even feel them I start doubting they do anything at all. I just hope either way it's working. I think even if my FSh wont go down I'd still stay with Dr E. I find his sessions informative and relaxing and I am sure it all helps. you can consider going to Dr E for ET acu sessions but I think you need to come before that to arrange it all. I am so glad your doc says positive things that you WILL get pregnant, that's so uplifting!

Girls!
I tested and got a faint line!
Oh my God! I'm so happy!
Thank you thank you thank you for praying with me. I feel like this was the hardest part, now I can move on to the next stage of waiting... And keep praying
