Thought I would move over to the inbetween bit, which I didn't know about till lovely Claire metioned it.. I'm 7 days into my cycle and on our 2nd attempt at IUI which should be done at the end of next week I think, depending on the day 11 scan.

I was so focused on our 1st IUI I couldn't even concentrate on job-hunting. But now I don't have an excuse, espec. for the next 6-7 days anyway... boo. So now I'm procrastinating and reading sories on here!!! DH will not be happy, he'll get over it!

And Transformers the 2nd movie is on now so I'm going to watch that!!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and enjoying the weather... Will anyone be watching Britain's Got Talent Final??

Big love..

Thank you Maria!!

Hi Claire, don't you dare call my FZ friend an idiot you got that??!! I'm good, tx going ok although getting hot flushes which is driving DH up the wall, he stayed over at my Mum's last night too and I wanted the window open all night coz I was so hot but he was freezing.. and am very tearful!!

Huni I'm so sorry you're feeling down, I think I'd have been exactly the same after phoning the clinic.. and you ARE doing well but you're bound to have tearful moments now and again. I am praying everyday that it is going to be 3rd time lucky for you.

I hope your first day back at work goes well, I'll be thinking about you...it's no surprise that you're feeling nervous about people asking you questions, I hope they'll be o some comfort to you.. and I know for a fact you'll get your positivity back in no time!!

Sending you lots of and ...

ps - I've just seen the most stoopidist advert in the world for Radox shower gel!!

Yaaayy!! You're here, I'm sorry you're not well at the mo, hope you're tucked up in bed or on the sofa and looking after yourself!!

I'm still on this thread, I just wanted somewhere where we could all chat together, I've started a diary too, I just got a bit confused as to where I belong!!

I'm good today thank you, although woke up this morning and half my bottom lip had swollen up, I've mentioned in my diary that I've been getting a lot of wierd random facial swellings, think it's the hormones and hot flushes?! Defo not stuff I've eaten as I've checked. Didn't want to leave the house but had my day 11 scan today so had to. Thankfully it looks a lot better, I was worried about scaring people!!

I'm loving your PMA lady, that's the way to do it, and there's nothing wrong with forward thinking!!

Sending you lots of love and big fat hugs.... Hope you feel better soon huni..

Yay, nice to meet you Wardie... you belong here with us!!! I'm sorry about your sad news, I'll pray that the next time is your time!

Dusky, you're not ignorant at all! IUI is Intra Uterine Insemination. It's no-where near as complex as IVF. At my clinic it starts with Clomid tablets taken for 5 days startng from day 2 of my cycle. I then have a day 5 scan to see the progress of follicles. (the 1st time I also had Menopur injections on day 5, 7 and 9 but I overstimm'd last time so I don't have Menopur now) I then have a scan on day 11, again to see follicle progress, if I have mature follicles they would ask me to take the pregnyl injection on that day. (if not I'd wait a day or two) They then book an appointment for us around 36 hours later where they will take the sample from DH, process it to get the best swimmers and then inseminate using a catheter. The point being that they are trying to by-pass anything that is stopping me from conceiving. I then take a test 2 weeks later!

Like I said, it's no where near as invasive as IVF which is why I have so much admiration for all you ladies on IVF. And because of that there isn't really any settling down time between tx... for me at my clinic it all depends on when A/F arrives so they can plan appointments on certain days. The chances are not as good as IVF but in cases of unexplained infertility it's the first port of call. I have seen lots of lovely lades on here that it has worked for so we'll see!

I'm sorry if my explanation was patronising, it's easier for me to explain like that than trying to condense it!

Ooh.. Apprentice predictions.... no idea, I recorded last weeks so am off to watch that so I can watch tonights... who do you think will get the boot?
