Eve,<br><br>You poor thing - it must be absolutely horrendous for you. Every time you see your sister it must remind of your tragedy. Whatever you do, don't feel guilty about your feelings, and don't try to lock them up inside; you are entitled to be jealous, pig sick and everything else you feel ...

Nina,<br><br>When we started, we were told that the decision of how many embryos that were going to be put back would rest with the embryologist, and would depend on how many, and the quality.<br><br>In the end, I had 3 put back (only got 5 eggs, and 4 of them fertilised).The clinic explained that ...

Mands,<br><br>Congrats on all those wonderful eggs! Let's see what sort of a party your dh's spermies have when they get to meet them!!<br><br>I'm glad you went for general - I wasn't given a choice,and just had painkillers, with something else to stop me moving, and it was agony!! I'm gonna makae ...

First of all - good luck to everyone testing on Friday 13!<br><br>When we had our IVF in August, the embryologist told us that of the 4 embryos we had, 3 were grade 2 and 1 was grade 4 - so they implanted the three best ones, (unfortunately it didn't work, so we're going to hop back onto the 'crazy ...

Heather,<br><br>Please hang on in there - you had a +ve result,which has to be good. do as your consultant has said, and have lots of rest, which is the best thing you can do. Will be praying that everything works out well for you and dh.<br><br>Andrea<br><><

Becky,<br><br>I'm so sorry. I'm thinking of you at this awful time.<br>Like everyone else has said - take time to grieve, and give yourself (and dh) lots and lots of tlc. <br><br>Andrea<br><><

Nicola,<br><br>You must be so bloody frustated at the incompetance you've had to deal with so far, you must feel like you're "p***ing into the wind" for all the help you're getting from your hospital. It's making my blood boil on your behalf, just reading about the way you've been trated. You should ...

Fiona,<br><br>Well done, it must have taken a lot of guts to tell her - but I bet she'll be a lot more supportive and understanding in the future!<br><br>Me and dh were living with my mother-in-law when we started our IVF in August - the house we were buying fell through, so we had to live with her ...

Suzanne,<br><br>When me and dh started going through our investigations, the hospital did the same tests as you've had done - including a lovely 'post coital' one, where we had to have sex in the evening, and then I had to have a scan & examination the next day - without having a wash! Ugh!! Anyway ...

WOW!!<br><br>How did you manage to eat your meal after being hit with that one? I bet your chin hit the table with a thud!<br><br>This is a real big one, but hopefully your friend must have thought it through long and hard, and discussed it with her husband before actually saying something to you ...

Alison,<br><br>I'm so sorry for you and dh, I know that nothing can take away the way you feel. but I would like to reiterate what everyone else has said, please take some time to pamper yourselves - open abottle (or two) of wine, have a hot bubble bath and generally give yourselves lots of tlc.<br ...

I realy felt for my dh, John, when our IVF attempt failed - he was the one who mopped up my tears, cuddled me, and then had to ring everyone and give them the bad news. <br><br>Although he was upset, he said that he wasn't really expecting it to work first time, and so he wasn't as devastated as me ...

DH has been hogging the computer, so have only just been able to log on, and catch up with the latest posts.<br><br>I just want to say a big congratulations to everyone who's found out that they are pg! It's really great to be able to sit here and rejoice with you! <br><br>There's an earlier post ...

Andie,<br><br>My first IVF attempt ended in September with the suprise visit of AF 12 days after e/t - the first day I had the normal dragging pain, and then after that it was completely painless - the only AF I've EVER had without loads of pain! It was quite heavy (which I expected), but didn't go ...

Fiona,<br><br>I'm so sorry for the way things have turned out for you and dh - what you've been through is dreadful enough on its own without you being turned into a human pin cushion.<br><br>Am thinking of you.<br><br>Andrea<br><><<br>
