Sharkey- great news , 2nd trimester so all systems go 
Have you got a little bump starting?
AQ- I have had a really horrible week in work. I blamed the hormones and thought maybe it's me over reacting but my closest colleagues in work said they would've been upset so maybe it's not the hormones!!

That sounds rubbish lindy, hope everything is ok.
Melbram now your stimming it will fly by.
AFM - went to see the doc and she wasnt much help, just told me to do another test and come back if its BFP, if not wait until next cycle and if i miss that i have to go back. Apparently its normal to miss a period. I was hoping she would do a test for me

AQ - so I can now eat chocolate again?! I have been trying to be good and almost completly cut it out of my diet (solely in prep for IVF) I love chocolate!
Babydust: what a hopeless appointment surely they could have told you that over the phone! so frustrating and draining

Hi ladies
Went to my appt with the head embryologist this morning and he was really good and helped me process what happened last time and made a couple of suggestions we can try on our 2nd cycle. He thinks I would have poss been better for my eggs to have been collected a day earlier so next time I need to be scanned earlier. Also they are now using embryo gule which all patients will now be getting which research suggesting to help embryo implant and help reduce mc. Also talked about a new process called IMSI which basically is ICSI but the lab instead of being magnified x600 it's x6000 so helps identify the best sperm but he thinks it will help but need to pay to use it. So all positive options and worth looking into. So he was cautiously optimistic.
So start my DHEA tomorrow cos need to take that for 12 weeks. So next period I'll be calling them to start the rollercoaster again!
Babydust - that's poo the wouldn't test you and left you in limbo land but guess all fingers crossed!!!

Hi everyone, lots happening on here 
Africa so glad you are back and are sorting things out with DH, the journey is really hard when TTC but you will get through it together. Am praying you get the decision you deserve from the pct.
Lindy & Sharkey great news on your scans, how are you both feeling? I started to feel better about 16/17 weeks I think, that's when bump popped out!! Once the first tri is out of the way the time does go quick. Ate you going to find out what you are having?
Babydust hope you are ok , any sign of af? The only symptoms I had initially were sore boobs, the nausea didn't come till about 8 weeks so you just never know. I can't believe the gp wouldn't test you, if you don't usually miss periods am not sure why they say it's normal to do so? Could you maybe request a blood test then at least you would know for sure?
Melbram good luck with the stimms , in no time we be seeing some big strong embies
MrsE glad your appointment went well, sounds like you got some good advice and fingers crossed for your next cycle
Hope I haven't missed anyone out!!
AFM - it's a year next Friday since I started down reg, can't believe where the time has gone. It made me feel quite emotional when I realised and I had a little cry! Baby is coming on really well he is huge and changing so quickly.
Good luck to everyone and will catch up with you all again soon xxxxxxxx

Babydust - aw sorry that AF arrived for you it really was looking hopeful! Yes I'm sure the Embryologist will have lots of ideas and suggestions. Funny cos we saw a consultant a few weeks ago and he said nothing about IMSI or the glue or collecting my eggs a day earlier he just said keep everything the same. But the embryologist clearly had other ideas so for me personally seeing the embryologist has given me more hope than seeing the consultants! Good luck and keep us posted.
Melbram - they are a bit messy but after a few days it will get easier. I'm dreading having to start all those injections but more the build up cos once you start then it's the countdown and each day you are nearer your goal! Exciting stuff. When is your first follie scan?
Hi to everyone else and hope you had a good weekend xx
