Hi wonder women

This is going to be hard to write.

Yesterday I went for my scan, as some you have very kindly asked about. I said to the radiographer that I didn't want to look at the screen, and she joked and told me not to be silly - she's very nice, she knows my history but I think she was ...

Hi all,

Gail, thanks for your wishes. I looked into IM/ISIDA myself and really liked ISIDA (Kiev), not only because they were so much cheaper - they were efficient, prompt to get back to me, honest etc. There are people who've tried both on this board, so it's worth asking around (maybe Kat). Good ...

Tammy, sorry about your BFN, I really am. Major drag. Maybe you'll try your frosties like Debra and Lisa - you just never know. I know you'd prepared yourself for the neg but it's still a wretched blow when it comes, I know so well. Thoughts with you, and hope for the next move, when it comes. Also ...

Debra, I've missed you, thanks for checking in. I am totally with where you're at, I get it. It's absolutely exhausting, and there comes a point where you just want to chill out and live a bit. If this doesn't work, ie if I m/c yet again, I'm so out of here. It's amazing how you can't imagine you'll ...

Hi everyone

Good to hear from you Bev, good luck in Kiev, sounds like it's all gone according to plan so far - even if it's a bit of a wait to get going!

Kat, good to hear from you. Hope you resolve what it is you want - I suppose life's often not perfect and whatever way we go there are pluses ...

Oh Anna I'm sorry, what a bummer. I want to say ignore the doc and carry on stimming but I suppose that's just wishful thinking. I so wanted this to be the one for you because you've been so patient. Look after yourself and take your time to collect your thoughts - we all know about doing that, don ...

Please Lisa don't rush to feel you've got to be cheerful quickly - be honest about how you feel, for how long you need to feel it. You can't rush these things. You wouldn't rush someone else so don't rush yourself back into jollity if you're not ready. Have a good old moan, it at least means you're ...

Anna,

That's happened to me before and I know to lots of others too. There are things they can do - some people seem to take menopur AND gonal F, one jab in the morning and one in the evening. Doctors don't always take the proactive route and suggest absolutely everything you can throw at it, so ...

Hello everyone,

Just got off the plane from Cape Town - didn't see your DH Robyn, although a lot of my party were going via Jo'burg - and haven't slept all night so too tired to get any work done.

So sad to see some of these posts.

Gail - I'm sorry for your neg. I hope you are at least thinking ...

Gail, what a drag, I'm sorry hun. Is that it or are you going to test again a bit later - you never know. I know what you mean about DE, it's not really my bag for some reason either.

Kat, sorry it's so rough for you, so very rough. Sending you (((hugs)))

Way to go Jules, very glad.

Anna, good ...

I am having the most stressful work time I can ever remember ever, lying awake at night fuming and trying to find solutions, but I just quickly checked in and I had to say, Debra, being nice to yourself is not nasty, it's looking after you which is correct behaviour - I can't think of anything ...

Debra - nightmare for you, hugs. It's always the case that women don't get to be the ill ones being looked after, somehow it never works out that way and we have to keep going no matter what. Soup's good idea.

Robyn- what a drag. I had that happen. I went to IUI because I normally get alot more ...

So much has been written, it's amazing.

Tammy, way to go. We aren't allowed more than a max of 2 blastos in the UK, which is ridiculous because as you say the chances of having triplets or more are so close to zero as to be negligible. But we have no choice. that's one reasons why the States has ...

Debra, what a drag, I'm sorry. But as you'd said, you'd prepared yourself for the worst, which was brave. I'm glad you're not having a D&C, I've had a few and they're not good. I had to give a hollow laugh when I read the guest list for your girls' night out. Fun fun fun. I tell you though, my ...

Tammy good luck at 12, can't wait to hear how it goes x

Anna good luck with your scan, let us know how that cyst is doing.

Randa fab to hear from you, sounds like you've been doing a lot of soul-searching, all good stuff. Very interested to hear about the ovarian cancer scare facts from your DH. I ...
