Hopeful - congrats on the good bloodwork! It is absolutely worth celebrating!! Take your reasons to celebrate where you can get them my dear 
As you know too well, they can be too few and far between.
I am very excited for your pre-conception meeting! Can I ask, do you feel ready to start trying again, once they give you the go-ahead?
I wonder because for me, I knew that I wanted to start trying again right away. Not to replace what I had lost (impossible and foolish to even think of) but because I still just wanted to start my family so badly...it's hard to put into words, really. It's a difficult feeling to describe. And I wondered if I was being shortsighted, if I was grieving too badly to be mentally healthy for a new pregnancy. But it's been ok.
River - how has this cycle been? Any news?
I hope you ladies are all doing well. Best of luck on the xray, mummmy2o.

@momwithbabies It is a relief. At least those are things I won't be up against. I hope your pelvic exam wasn't too bad.
@kksy9b Thanks!
@ProfWife Thanks!
@RaeChay Thank you! I totally agree with you. I'm sure a lot of people let out a collective sigh of relief when we told them. I'm excited for the meeting too. I really want to get all the information. I've been doing lots of research myself, but I really want to hear specifics about me and what we would do. When this first happened I thought I would never do it again because of the incredible loss, the physical part of it, and the fear. Then I switched to wanting to hurry and try immediately. Now I just want to make sure everything is ready before we start. We are both ready emotionally, although I know it will be scary. My biggest goals are to get in the best shape possible, to get the blood pressure monitor/protein sticks/heart monitor before, and to have a solid plan in place. I assume I'll still have to take aspirin and maybe heparin shots so we'll have to plan ahead. I'll have to see how long they think I should wait too. She originally said 12-18 months, but I'm not sure if that's solid or if it could change based on health and everything. I completely understand that second children will never replace our first babies. I also understand still wanting to have a family. I'm so happy for you and I'm glad that this pregnancy is going so well!

well, I have a very faint BFP! Beta isn't until Tuesday.... will probably test again with a FRER on Sunday
We have never gotten a bfp when ttc these past few years, so this is very exciting However, we are pretty cautious people, so we haven't told anyone yet, probably tell the close family that knows we went through IVF this cycle after the second beta if all looks good - since they'll be wondering...
I don't think it'll really sink in for OH til the ultrasound... lol

River yay!!!!!!!!! Fantastic news
Hopeful I glad the results came back ok an you will have an appointment soon.
Good news for me too as my lining is so much thicker this cycle, all my candle work and acupuncture is paying off I think. All I need now are some juicy foliciles as mine are still a bit small. Another scan tomorrow so interested to see what that brings. Xx

River congratulations. I'm so excited for you. Let us know how it goes.
Lazy: glad your lining is thicker this cycle. Hope we get another BFP this month.
AFM AF came and went so waiting for ovulation. I ovulated early last month and had a 16 day LP so hopefully something similar will happen again. Also x-ray has been and gone, but they won't release the results until Tuesday. I'm rather pissed about this whole situation. I know Erika is only at my mums and she only lives 30 minutes away, but all this petrol going to see her all the time is getting rather expensive. Hopefully though we can have back home Tuesday evening as we never did anything wrong to begin with.

Went to the clinic and my folicles hadn't grown
They gave me some injectables to take home gonal f to try to improve the folicles. (No training and shit advice on how to store drugs when to take it- nurse just said whenever.) went to acupuncture lady who is actually a fertility doctor also, she said it needs to be taken in the evening for good results and kept on the fridge! Had acupuncture. Tried to do the injection. You have to mix the water from the syringe with the the powder using the thick needle and then swap to the thin. I was all fingers and thumbs and ended up losing half the liquid. Started again with a new packet and was shaking and stressed by this point and somehow messed up again. Between the the two mess ups there was roughly enough for one dose! Although had to inject my self twice with the two little bits as couldn't risk messing up again. will have to tell the clinic I'm an idiot on Monday and see if they will let me have more. I'm surprised I've not been sacked the amount of time I've off recently. Rant over. I feel better for sharing. Sorry xxxxx

Sorry lazy the amount of the liquid doesn't matter, as long as you've got it well mixed with the powder and the result is a clear consistency - usually the liquid is just saline. So if you have trouble again (I know those little vials can be a pain) just know that if there is enough to reconstitute the powder, you should be fine and shame on them for not doing good teaching for you.

That one you can't screw up, as you just turn a dial to the amount you are supposed to have, change the needle tip and inject.
I have had powder stuff but that was menopur, or bravelle, or repronex.Those didn't need to be in the fridge because they were a powder. The liquid was just saline, and it didn't matter as much how much of that you got out, my fs recommended only 1.5cc of it to mix into the powder.
If you ever have to do it again, I'd ask for the premixed pen, soooo much easier.
Also, there are some pretty good YouTube videos out there on how to mix and inject.
Sorry you are having such a rough time with it all.

It was a tub of power. Stick the thick needle on, squeeze the water into the powder. Mix up, suck up. Swap the needle to the thin one. I messed up once it had been mixed. Just hope between to two I got a decent dose. Thanks girls. A pen would be much better for me. X

They don't use the pens at my clinic. Hoping they will do it for me on Monday. My stomach is a bruised mess today.
On the plus side the weather is nice xx
