TTC for 12 months +

@Storm11: Nice to know someone from Auckland:) Yes i am using ovulation tracker and LH test strips. Few days ago bought clearblue Digital Ovulation too. I must say these are not cheap:D

@babycrazy: Same here in Auckland, no snow little bit of hail and on and off rain all day. Knitting that's cool, what you making ? wish you all the best with IVF, Hopefully good news soon xx

Sounds like a great idea BC! And yaye for AF hopefully only being a couple weeks away. How are you feeling about it all? Or are you not trying to think about it.

Dove yes the digital ones are super expensive!

Sweetpea that's great you're appointment is this week. Fingers crossed they do go into a transfer cycle next cycle.

Auntie how are you holding up being PUPO? When is your blood test?

Not much yet to report from me. I'm well over winter LOL My DD loved the hail yesterday. It covered quite a bit of our deck and I let her go out and pick some of it up, was fun for her
Two days at work this week with lap etc on Wednesday. I have to be at the hospital at 11.30am with the surgery booked for 1pm - an hour and a half of prep sounds scary!

Lol Storm - more like 1.5hrs of sitting round twiddling thumbs while they get themselves ready haha. Well that's my experience with surgery anyway. All the best though. I'm sure it will go smoothly.

To be fair haven't given the IVF too much thought just yet other than potential days to work around for work. Then I decided to not bother worrying until I actually got AF so had concrete times to work towards. Pretty much just doing through the motions for now. Work is real busy (isn't it always?) so a good distraction.

Good luck for Wednesday Storm! Will be thinking of you while i am in my appointment! They nail polish is a good one HT, i had the same problem with glitter and getting it off in hospital when the remover they have is terrible is not fun!

BC, agreed with work been busy and keep the mind somewhere else i find it a huge help for me!

Good luck Storm and Sweetpea for tomorrow and AA for Sunday!

AFM thought my AF would be due tomorrow and have been looking forward to it so I can ring FA to book my scan and do my day 3 bloods all ready for treatment ... However no sign of her! Usually get spotting 2-3 days before. The past couple of months I've been spot on with knowing when I ovulated by the pain I get and AF shows up 14 days later but maybe I was wrong this cycle and it's not due for a few more days yet which would be typical considering its one time I want it to arrive!
Another part of me foolishly hopes a miracle has happened and we have conceived naturally but I know the chances of that are slim to none!

Edited: also have had 2 sessions of acupuncture this cycle so wonder if that has changed things for me in the way of my cycle

Yeah I've found it good. She's getting me to go 3 times a cycle and then I get to ivf transfer will do it before and after.

Thanks ladies! Am slightly nervous....
HT I'm hoping that you are right

Hi ladies, so had appointment today and it went well. I’m glad to hear that the hard part is over but it’s the waiting that is the next thing to do (Oh the joy of this waiting game!) So we will put an embie in next month with a manufactured cycle. We have decided to keep this between me and DH for now as I won’t be able to handle the whole family if it doesn’t work. We will tell them but after it has failed if that happens. My family is very close and we all know each other’s business this is one thing I would like private, for now anyway and if it works at least we could surprise them with the news. I must say a feel a lot better after the appointment and where we are at.

Hope all is going well for you Storm!

Hi Aime

Sorry Amie to hear things aren't going the way you want.

BC I so sorry your hubby is not well. That is something that you guys need right now. I hate it when men keep everything inside. Sometimes you want to slap them to tell you what they are feeling. I'm sure he is feeling to worry too. Hope things get better very soon!
