Very well said Julia. That is so true, without our past we wouldn't be the people we are today. That person that he left is no longer in existence. You are both learning new, exciting things about each other and building a whole new life and future that couldn't have happened before.
You haven't had to buy any wigs yet have you?????

Ah how true.. we are who were are from what we went through and I am grateful for that as I am happier and more appreciative of things now, I dont sweat the small stuff and I rememner to enjoy the good stuff..
I had the HSG and ended up in hospital as I was in so much pain! It was a bit scary but I am fine now. It led me to push the fertility clinic a bit and they just caled and offered to put us on the list today for free IVF as well as IUI ! I am in shock. We were meant to wait till at least August to just discuss the HSG and becuase I was proactive..they did a case review yesterday on us and within 2 days come back with a decision for IVF!! People wait months and years for a decision like that.
Funny thing is, after me being hospitalised, we decided last night we didnt want anymore medical intervention, so this is just a safety net, the first appointment isnt till September anyway so we will keep trying.
Life keeps rolling on and I do believe these relationships grow back better and stronger and more loving after the shock and grief of separation. Its true, you really dont know the value of what you had till its gone...

Thanks girls! Yes, well I soldiered on an we managed to get back to the babymaking fast, cant afford to miss a month ! It was a scary thing though, they said I had peritonitis!! Seems chemical, rather than the infected kind, at least it didnt develop into that (you can be brown bread pretty fast with that!)
We all have new lives hey. Jupiter and Uranus moved into Aries.. its a new 7 year cycle and all about change. Julia travelling the world, Mish back in the arms of her husband (WOW!) Michelle in a committed R, Maria on holiday as a family.. gosh if only we could have had a crystal ball a year or two ago and saved us all the angst of watching, waiting and wondering !!

Yes it was a reaction to the HSG, the dye they used, or volume of liquid inflamed my peritineum, apparently! The HSG itself was excrutiatingly painful, I screamed and cried!!
Yes we wondered if there arent some low tech solutions, before they resorted to IUI/IVF. BF said I should get tested for Thyroid Antibodies and NK cells, the latest theory is your immune system can be 'over geared' and go on the attack. This isnt available on the NHS, but it would be much cheaper than IVF! Its amazing we got approved so quick, but I think we will just keep trying naturally for now...
I'm sure you have read all the various natural signals the body puts out when ovulating but just in case this one was missed I thought I'd throw it out there.
****WARNING TO ALL MEN AND SQUEEMISH WOMEN***** ****DO NOT READ****
Have you checked your mucous daily? The secretions that are naturally released during ovulation become thick and stringy. You actually have to put it between your thumb and forefinger and stretch it. If you can stretch it to at least 1 inch before it breaks then you most likely have just ovulated or will within 24 hours.
Just another thing to add to your arsenal!

Thanks Mish !!! I did notice and also, I did the tests this month (only second time) and bought more expensive digital ovulation tests and they worked ! And it know when it was, as I had terrible ovulation pains for a few hours and had to take painkillers! Funny huh. I was expecting that though, after the HSG.
Well the HSG is supposed to improve your chances, as it 'flushes' everything out!
Just been to try my dress on.. shes done a brilliant job, but I'm not sure I like it !
