I had terrible headaches on Clomid too. It is the pits! Jdonn-it's a really good idea to speak to the docs about your symptoms. Let's hope you get some positive answers and results!
Missy-good to read your post! I think you have been an inspiration to us all, and that's been down to your positivity and forward thinking! We have to explore every avenue to get our longed for bbs, and if that way is DE then so be it, for you and for me, and anybody else who may be in our situation. There's a programme in the UK that I LOVE called Emmerdale and last night they had a new-born baby grasping at his 'mother's' fingers and I just started blubbing-this infertility 'lark' is the absolute pits. So, my message to you (and to me) and anybody else in our situation, explore EVERYTHING and don't dismiss ANYTHING if it means we get our own child, be it naturally, donor egg or adoption. We have to be positive and pro-active.
I sooooooo can identify with you re. your SIL as you will know that I cut all contact with my BF as she got pregnant this time last year for the second time, and both times on the FIRST attempt. She knew my predicament, but started banging on about sore boobs and swollen belly to me, and I just decided that I had to cut her out of my life. It is really hard as I feel that on top of the sh%te that is TTC, I have lost my BF too. Oh, it never rains. But the point is I couldn't bear to be around her pregnant self, nor around her with her new born child, so had to put myself first. Your DH clearly understands this, and I commend him for it, as it must be difficult for him too, but you come first and you have to do what is right for you. Once people know what you have been through, they will understand, and if they don't, then it says more about them than about you.
Let's hope the counsellor helps you out-glad you've heard from one of them.

to you, my friend, and here's to our 2012 BFPs!!!!! xxxx
FM-good luck with the last minute shopping! Hopefully, you'll get a few bargains!! I love your plan re. adoption and wish you success in the New Year with that, whilst also holding out every hope that you will get your natural BFP once this scar tissue is sorted out. Keep the faith hun, as that gorgeous handsome, Jon Bon Jovi once said!! Thanks for asking about me, I still intend to have ICSI 2 in February ish of next year. Fingers crossed it gets further than EC this time, and gets me my BFP! Have a lovely Xmas sweetie, and enjoy the time with family and friends! xxxx
Skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye!!! Lovely to see you on here!!! Glad you put the mince pie down to log on!!!!!! Waitrose mince pies-yummy!!!! Shall have to give them a whirl!! Now, go back to putting your feet up-just a little bit higher than that, young lady, and enjoy doing nothing!!!
Purple, why thank you fellow fab lady! How the devil are you today?? More wallpaper stripping? Hope your parents are getting well and truly settled in, and that you are getting more and more excited about Xmas with them! What's happening with that CBFM of yours today?? Lots of love to you! xx
Butterfly-how you feeling sweetie? Hope you're tucking into that sherry with positively gay abandon!!! Ooh, vicar, noooooooooo! Sending you big hugs! P.S. Skye's assisted conception idea may not be a bad idea... any thoughts?? Big hugs to you!!
(Nigel Slater has just said, 'You can't beat a traditional British apple'. Yes you can!! Now he's just said you need 'about 8 to 10 good nuts'-too damn right!!!!! Ha ha ha.... Oh dear, I'm not even on the sherry yet.....!!)
Carole-haven't heard from you in ages... how are you? I suppose you're going to get us really jealous now and tell us how beautiful the weather is in Bahrain...?? Hope you and little bb are doing well?
Pad-how are you hun? Thinking of you..
HA, OMM, Twinks, North Star, Manuiti, Madeline, Dodge, and anybody else I might have missed-big hugs to you!!!
This post is taking ages to write as Gwydion keeps bringing me his tennis ball (going to enter him for Wimbledon next year!) and dropping it on my laptop which makes strange boxes appear....... he wants me to throw it so he can retrieve it. Does he never stop????? Ruby accidentally hit my nose this morning and boy did it hurt... Gwydion saw me holding my head in my hands and came up to give me a big kiss and washed my face good and proper. What an angel.....!!!
Well, I'm getting period pains and reckon that AF is due around about Friday, if the John Taylor EWCM is anything to go by...... So, this marks the fifth year of TTC. What an anniversary I DON'T want to celebrate!
Love to you all and hope you're all getting well and truly into the Xmas spirit, as best you can!
