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.

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.
