Well i've been away from the internet for a while as last weekend my husband and I moved into our lovely new house, which doesn't yet have internet connection. After 10 days of no internet access I caved and decided to pay £5 for a day of wifi internet to keep me sane while I'm at home on my own. Hurrah!!
So aside from the usual, we have a new home!! yay! I got a new job with a university in Manchester and my husband still works in our home town of Sheffield so we moved half way in between the two, Holmfirth. We're in Last of the summer wine territory!
Isn't it oh so very pretty?? Not that we've had one dry day since we moved in (lovely British Summer) we're still in the process of sorting out the house, but it's getting more homely as we go on. Here's our new abode
We love love LOVE it here, and cant wait to get properly settled and hopefully have a fresh new start in our new home (we even have a second bedroom for the first time...hopefully it'll bring us some luck eh?)
Well back to normal business, I am now 10 days past ovulation and no sign of a pregnancy this month, so I goes we're onto month number...29 I think, I don't know I've lost count. In good news I think I'm becoming a bit numb to the pain now, when I did the HPT this morning and I was slapped in the face b a BFN, I didn't take it apart, I didn't hold it up to the light, I just pulled a face and threw it in the bin. Waiting for AF to arrive so we can start month number 3 of clomid. I'm going to change my climid days from 2-6 to 3-7 also, as I hear thats more successful so we'll see.
In good news my medical records finally made it from my old doctor down south to my new doctor up north, which means yesterday we were referred to our new fertility specialist to pick up where we left off. So excited! Sheffield fertility centre has a brilliant reputation so I'm hoping we get somewhere with this. So in my calculations it will be around 3 months until we get an appointment (god bless NHS) so we should know what our next steps are by September! I'm hoping they go straight for IUI so we can skip all of these months of 'letting nature take it's corse' because frankly it isn't working! On the upside if we are given IUI on the NHS then we can get rid off all the stress that goes along with ovulation week, and just let the hospital do it for us, hurrah!!
My second piece of news, you have heard me talk about a website I was part of many times in this blog, and it provided me with lots of support during my infertility journey, until recently. There were lots of pregnant woman and mothers coming into the Long Term Trying to Conceive area telling us infertile woman to grow up, stop being so bitter towards pregnant woman blah blah blah and the sad thing is the moderators and admin of the board seemed to agree with them. How dare they?! I'm sorry but I frankly don't care how many children you have or how many times you've been pregnant, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO HAVE INFERTILITY as so many of thee pregnant woman do. Bugger off, go and hug your children and feed your babies and leave me to moan and cry and hate the world for not letting me have something that comes so easy to you!
Anyway, me and a few friends I had met on there decided enough was enough, and we made our own support website/forum! We run it, with many of us as moderators (me included) and admin so we can keep an eye on whats going on, who's posting what etc... and although we're a bunch of infertile betties, the website is designed for all kinds of parents. New parents, prospective parents, people trying to get pregnant and people who can't get pregnant.
Please have a look, it's still in its infant and still a new website but once it gets up and running we'll be great. We're very proud of it and hope you'll like it.
