Hi ladies - just surfacing for air...thank so much for all your well wishes. And Chriss - your 'cheesy but real" bear graphic was anything but! It really made my day sweetie! Sorry Joanna about your BFN. It's good to move on as quickly as possible as there is always something to hope for. Keep your ...

Amy - I do all my shots in the morning as it's just more convenient, especially when I was travelling for work. It just got them out of the way and I could forget about them and just get on with my day. I think it's ok as long as you're consistent with the timing. All my other medication is taken in...

Hi girls Big J - had goose bumps when I read your post - what a great 'problem' to have! I can't imagine going from no family, to having 4 children in a matter of a few years! Bummer about the nausea but I've heard it's a very good sign in early pregnancy...All the best for a smooth 9 months and kee...

Hi ladies - Well I'm away from the boards for a week and so much has happened! Chriss - with all your glittery sparkle, it has really cheered things up around here - love the snow cone!! (Gotta learn how to do all that one day...!) And I still have my fingers crossed for your IUI this month! Welcome...

Hi girls Yeah Jen - I agree - it is certainly an 'experience' being the only sober one in a room full of people completely hammered! For some entertainment, make sure you have a camera ready so you can at least get some leverage out of the evening! :wink: Things have been a bit schizaphrenic around ...

Bollocks - just lost a long but whiney post! (just as well to spare you ladies...!) Chriss - funny you should mention Nicole Kidman being pregnant! When I heard the news, I got quite depressed. Now how pathetic is that!? It's not like she's a friend of mine or anything .:lol: I don't know why I got ...

Sorry - meant to say "we're cutting down on red meat and processed products"!

As I type, DH is taking some good ole NZ steaks out of the freezer to defrost for dinner tonight... Oh well, it is the weekend!

Hi Chriss, Catharine - my 2 cents worth... I too have always been a bit of a sporting fanatic (tennis, golf, yoga, gym), but my last clinic banned patients from all forms of exercise during any form of treatment. They stated that exercise takes the blood flow away from the ovaries and uterus when it...

Hi ladies - Sounds like everyone's kicked off the new year with some positive steps forward! Amy - with her new job! And Gd luck for your test results this week too. Catharine - with her successful op! And fresh cycle in Feb! Chriss - straight back into it with your IUI's (I've got a good feeling ab...

Hi ladies - Just surfacing for air after the last few mad capped crazy weeks! - Boy am I glad that's all over and I can now get down to the serious business of making babies! You are right Chriss - 2008 WILL be our year. :D :D :D And what a fabulous start to it with BigJ's news too! Congratulations ...

Hi Anie I too am an acupuncture 'virgin' and have just started acu sessions for a FET end Jan. My acupuncturist works closely with our fertility clinic and has recommended 2 sessions a week leading up to the FET. I started the acupuncture 6 weeks before my transfer date. Apparently they recommend a ...

Jen1d / Chriss I totally agree -

LET'S KICK SOME IVF BUTT COME 2008! (I am soooo over 2007...)

This festive season has everyone up and down emotionally like yo-yos - I know it's a tough month to get through, but we will.. (we have to...)

Try and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

Andrea

Hi ladies - hope you all survived the Xmas festivities! As for me- only just! We had a great time with all the other Xmas expat orphans (those of us over here with no family to celebrate with...) Thought I could allow myself a wee discrepancy and have a couple of Xmas drinks or three... My new clini...

Merry Christmas and all the best for 2008 - Thank you and keep up the good work team!

Andrea
