After some serious blood, sweat and tears, my #IVF book trailer is finished. Hurrah! *Rejoins real world* youtu.be/UWZQpa4TlPk

Random eve: realised I was out of cyclogest (yikes), rang friend who didn't have any who then rang her friend who did. I went to meet complete stranger in a random place to pick them up and my car broke down. It's never bloody easy is it?! 😬

You're all ace, by the way. Thanks for the moral support x

Anyone else had a symptom-free 2ww and still got a BFP? Hit me up with your positivity please!

Thanks for the love today. We lost one embryo to the thawing process but I have one thawed frostie on board. Hello 2WW!

Transfer day today 🙏🙏🙏 come on frosties, hang on in there 💕💕

In other news, if you're looking for an easy-to-watch TV show before/during/after IVF (or indeed if you're not doing IVF!) then I recommend @TheBoldTypeTV. Pure girly goodness!

Anyone know if assisted hatching is done on frozen embryos or after they are thawed? #ivf #AskTwitter

Final baseline scan tomorrow, transfer next week. Please let this work 🙏 #fifthtimelucky

Life update: cried at the pantomime. Bloody buserelin 🙄#emosh

Off to village pantomime tonight. Oh no I'm not, oh yes I am etc etc 😁

Buserelin injection, northisterone tablet and an endometrium scratch and it's not even 3pm 😬😬

Our FET cycle starts tomorrow. Whatever the outcome I am feeling liberated to be calling this our last round of #IVF (and actually meaning it this time!) Ready for what the next month has in store for us, and the future too. 🙌 Let's GO!

There are days when you have to remind yourself that no part of the #IVF struggle is actually "normal life" and that many will never have to experience it, and for me today is one of those days. Sending love and strength to anyone battling infertility 💕

Start date for FET: 22nd January. I actually don't know how I feel about it. All I know is that I am looking forward to our fifth (and final) round of #IVF being well and truly done with.

These people are so brave and courageous to share such a heartbreaking and difficult situation. My heart breaks for anyone in this situation on so many levels: going through the pain of #IVF, getting a long-awaited positive & then to have it taken away is just unbearably cruel :( xitter.cf/LVaughanJones/status/9…

I DEMAND A LITTLE RESPECT. #stablegenius

Well, 2018: I am in you and so far, you're being very naughty. A swollen face, infected tooth and a major sense of humour failure was not what I had in mind for the most awesome year I was planning on having.

Two days in and I'm already obsessed with @IndiaWilloughby. Love her! #CBBIndia #cbb

Starting 2018 with two root canal sessions and #IVF. I know how to live it up 😬😬
