So I'm loathed to turn this into one of those fertility/ mumsnet type threads, full of anxiety and abbreviations like DH (Dear Husband, AF (Aunt Flo) and BFP (Big Fat Positive)........(honestly, if you've never had to read one then it's quite the experience!).....BUT......


Anyone had IUI? Anyone been successful? Anyone tried IUI then moved to IVF? Anyone done so/ doing so without the support of a DH (oh no....I just slipped into fertility forum speak!!!). Any tips? What helped you cope with the hell? Anyone going through the hell currently?


Anyone?!

Hi! I?ve had IUI and was lucky enough to be successful first time. The plan had been to try three (I think) times and move to IVF if no success. We opted for IUI over IVF because the nature of our problems suggested IVF might not be necessary and IVF is more intrusive. This was all six and a half years ago and was done privately (at the time NHS didn?t offer IUI, not sure if that?s still the case, I?d imagine so?) so processes may have changed but feel free to hurl any questions at me and I?ll help if I can!


(And yes, had a supportive DH on board!)

      There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
