I tested out of my trigger shot BFN's 5dpt and 6dpt on Ic's then a light line today(7dpt). I broke down and took an FRER and got a definite line(I didn't even have to squint) in about 30 seconds. I am being cautiously optimistic since last cycle I got a line 6dpt that was gone by 10dpt, however I am feeling good about this cycle and have a feeling this one is both real and going to stick!

Great news sar! Fingers crossed! Xx
That sounds really hopeful Sar! Are you testing everyday?
I was intending not to test until Thursday at earliest (13dp3dt) but I cracked last night & took a FRER
we got a lovely strong BFP... Very early days yet but feeling very hopeful.
Hope everyone else is coping with the TWW

Bookworm-Congrats! That is awesome! 11dp3dt is standard for blood tests for RE's over here so I would say its good news! I am testing every day and am now 8dp3dt and the line was quite a bit darker today and showed up within like 5 seconds. I go for a blood test on Friday!

Congratulations Bookworm! It sounds like a great Christmas present.
A somewhat personal question for all of you... Since we found out about the azoo, we have been having a hard time getting into sex. It seems to be on his mind and it's definitely on mine. How do we get past this?

Sar sounds like good news for you too! Good luck for Friday - I've just to do a HPT tomorrow (they give you one and advise you do a second bought one for control purposes) then I phone in the results...
CanadianMaple, I can't say we had an 'issue' with this - for me getting he diagnosis helped as i felt it took the pressure off every month, though of course it introduced a whole new basket of pressure. But DHs libido disk suffer a little and he said it was because he felt 'there was no point' and though he didn't say it I think there were issues about his self-image and masculinity too.
I just had to remind him that it's not all about BD - we had a great sex life pre-TTC... And I needed a little patience to let him process things too
Probably the thing is to understand where he issues are coming from for you both- & this is a really stressful time too & that will have an effect.

CanadianMaple - I wish I had an answer for you, but at least I can reassure you that you are not alone 
My husband has hormone issues (low testosterone and underactive thyroid) which definitely don't help his libido and things weren't easy in the
dept for quite a few months leading up to the diagnosis. I hoped it was just the pressure of knowing exactly when was the right time of the month etc - I'm sure we've all been there.
However, when we got the diagnosis, hubby turned round to the consultant and I remember his words so clearly "so is there any point in us still trying naturally?" the reply was "no point whatsoever". I didn't know who I wanted to hit most - hubby for asking the question or the consultant for (as far as I viewed it) putting an end to our sex life
We talked about it on the journey home and hubby said he actually thought it would help as the pressure had been taken away.
Well our diagnosis was in April 2010. We once in sept 2010 and we've now been 15 months since 
What can I do? The more I try to discuss it with him, the more he says he feels pressured and that's hardly going to lead to anything wonderful. Plus, it's pretty humiliating to feel like you're having to beg your husband for sex. I don't bother anymore
How many times can a girl take being turned down?

Sar and Bookworm - congrats!!! Great stuff, internal pictures and heart beats next!
Deb - so sorry babes! It's confidence wrecking that they have libido issues... Maybe we should sneak them some Viagra in their tea!

Hi Guys,
Congrats to Sar & Bookworm! Stick beanies stick! What a fantastic Christmas you guys are going to have and you deserve it after all this time.
In relation to your OH's sex drive, I do think every man is different, my OH hasnt been (thankfully) affected at all. I have tried really hard to make him feel special and show that I 'still' really fancy him, regardless - which I do anyway, so it has come naturally. Also like you have said, it has almost taken the pressure off of us, it is no longer
for TTC. It is important to talk about it and keep the communication open, I would recommend counselling if possible as well really have no idea of alot of what goes on in our mens minds.
We got our date, 18th Jan, to finally find out if my OH will ever be able to have biological children - my OH had his final scan last week and the specialist is going to tell him if he is operable to remove scar tissue, if he says no, donor is our next option. It is very scarey thinking we will know which way our path is going to take us. I am being optimistic, but if I allow myself I really dont know what i will do if we find out I cant have my OH's babies, it really does.
But I do know we will pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off and move on.
Ok Guys, I want to wish you all an amazing Xmas, thank you for the support, advice and allowing me to vent and vanish all at the same time.
Lets hope and pray 2012 is going to be all our years!!
Have fun guys
