Nice timing, thanks AF :)
AF arrived this evening, this means Tuesday will be CD2 (Cycle Day 2) so should be perfect for scan and blood test. I'll be on the phone to CRGH in the morning to make an appointment.

Cycle Day 1 (CD1) !
A surprise visit from Aunt Flow. I mentioned to hubby last night that I felt like my period was due to start, but as I shouldnt be due till Friday, assumed I was wrong. Sure enough though, today is definitely CD1. Slightly concerned that it has arrived after 24 days and will mention it at the clinic in case its important, but for now I will just be grateful that things are starting 4 days earlier!
I called the clinic to let them know, and make sure they now have an idea when I'll be starting, especially as its a little earlier that I thought it would be. I was told a nurse would call me back no call ter, so maybe tonorrow. . Hopefully when they call I can confirm the complete timetable with them.
I assume this means I will be starting the Primolut/Norethisterone on 1st Jan 2012. What a way to start the new year! These tablets are to prevent ovarian cysts and regulate hormone levels. I take these up to and including CD25 (12th January).

Aunt Flow arrives!
I joined Twitter (TCSPGD if you want to follow) to see if there was anyone else on there going through PGD & IVF. Certainly lots going through IVF, and it's like a whole new lingo, which I guess if all goes ahead as planned I will learn over time. I now know those waiting for AF are waiting for Aunt Flow (period), and people who have a BFN have a 'Big Fat Negative' (pregnancy test), and the 2WW is the 'Two Week Wait' after having embryos transplanted, before having a blood test to see if it has worked.
It's been strange wishing my period would start. Normally it's the opposite. It's not something a girl welcomes every month! I am going out tonight in London, so I was thinking how handy it would be if I could have this appointment today as I'm already travelling in. As luck would have it I was out shopping and suddenly felt that (usually unwelcome) cramping. I phoned the hospital. Unfortunately my consultant isn't in again till Tuesday. I explained that I wanted to come in but was told it would be too late in the day to send the blood off for testing. Strange, as the last appointment I had was 4pm?! When I mentioned this I was told a nurse would phone me. meanwhile I was given an appointment for Monday 11:15
No phonecall :(
I just hope Monday isn't too late. Don't want to wait another month.
