Missy-you have come so far, you have to hold on to your positivity for just a little bit more!! I so admire your strength and determination over the past few weeks, you have been a true inspiration, and you WILL get your BFP, you mark my words!
I think it's a good idea to do your own test first, and this seems to be the consensus, so do what feels instinctively right. I am keeping all my fingers crossed for you and am willing you your BFP! Huge hugs winging their way across 'The Pond' hun!
Oh dear, our men just don't get it, do they? I think you have a lot of responsibility to shoulder, and, unless the situation was reversed, your DH will never know what it is to walk in your shoes. My OH asked me tonight how I would feel about donor eggs, and I asked him how he would feel about donor sperm.... (we have that sort of tit for tat mature relationship thing going on), and he hesitated and hummed and haaed, before he said it wouldn't bother him.... But, he had to think about it, and just assumed I'd be happy to do donor eggs.... They just don't think, I guess is the message that I'm trying to make.
Your DH must understand and come to terms with the cost of things, and just forget the bike for a certain amount of time. Easier said than done... Change your account password hun, that will sort the problem!!! Or hide the keys to the bike so he can't use the blooming thing anyway..... "Oh, have you lost the keys, hunny??? Well, where could they POSSIBLY be....????? Hmmmmm......?" Cue evil laugh as you mentally consider the safe hiding place that you have stowed said keys!!!
Twinkle-I read that report and it makes me absolutely livid. And yet again we come back to this Greek idea that life is just not meant to be fair, and the sooner we get used to it, the better.
If you need a laugh, and possibly may share my silly humour, I have an ancient joke that always tickles me as I come from a farming background-Did you hear about the magic tractor? It turned into a field!!!!
Enough, enough..... I had a complete meltdown tonight, which has been building for days. Coming up to ovulation, I'm covered in zits (thanks DHEA), am definitely hairer around the chin region (again, thank you DHEA), have had a stinking headache since last Friday, am up to my eyeballs in marking and super full timetable (bar stewards), blah blah blah.... it also happens to be a full moon, and that is trouble for a Cancerian.... So, I huffed and I puffed and I blubbed the whole house down...... I am now in bed with a hot water bottle, and Gwydion and Rubes.....
Hope you're all feeling a little bit better than me!
Love to you all, and huge TONNES of
to you all too! We will get there, I am sure of it!!

DH and I talked about donor sperm before and he was open to it. I think its because he has a kid though. I see where you are coming from though. Has your RE suggested donor eggs or donor sperm? I know what you mean about DHEA. Its given me nasty zits as well.
got my BFP last night and in denial. I really was worried posting this in here as I know Pad and HA had negatives over the last few days and Missy has her testing coming up. I just didn't want to not tell you but not rub noses in.
I started crying in front of him and told him if this cycle doesn't work we're going to have to pay for meds out of pocket all over again. I don't know why I can't get it through to him that this isn't the time to be spending money on hobbies and extras to soop up his bike and make it look pretty. I just get so annoyed with him sometimes because he doesn't understand how I feel because he already has a child. I'm the bread winner in the family and ultimately I feel like most of this falls on me. But other than that, I've gone through 2 positive thinking books, putting time aside each day to pray and watching a lot of comedies. I also got a picture of my embies from the transfer and I put that pic in a frame and look at it each day and think about my babies growing inside of me.
and I have a good feeling about this one 
should turn up in a few hours 
(in a nice way lol)! Big 
to all of you amazing ladies.
