Hi,
we put our boys together in a moses basket for only about a week as there wasn't enough space for them.
If i were buying again i wouldn't buy baskets as they didn't last long at all and we wanted to get them used to their own cots asap. We put them in cots side by side in their own room very ...

Traci,
I have felt odd posting here because i got my babies and the first few months were so hard. It was difficult because i know you and Dagny and others would give anything to have a babe, but it really was so tiring i thought i would seriuosly die from lack of sleep. We had no support from ...

Hi,
we live not far from you and had treatment at the Chiltern clinic in Bucks. I didn't fancy going into London reguarly and thsi clinic is small and very good. As you can see from my sig we had successful ICSi treatment there and will go back again in a year or two. I don't visit this site often ...

I rarely visit these boards now, but when i do it's just to check out how things are with you Dagny and Traci. Wishing you all the luck for the future.

Just wanted to say hi guys!
I don't post much now as i have a very hard time since the boys were born as i found motherhood a complete shock. Hopefully now we are all settling into it though and it seems only 5 minutes since we were waiting in anticipation.
Best wishes to everyone.

Hi,
we live in HAMPSHIRE AND HAD OUR treatment in Buckinghamshire at the CHILTERN Clinic. It is a small, very nice clinic with a small number of staff and we felt very comfortable there.It was about 1 hours drive for us.
Our twins were conceived on our first ICSI attemnpt and are now 5 months old ...

Great idea Shell

Not yet 5 days old and i wonder how long we can cope for. 3 hourly feeds which take an hour. I am trying to express and bottle feed as they are no good at latching on. How does anyone see the light at the end of the tunnel? How do you cope alone feeding them both when partner goes back to work ...

Hi,
i was induced on thursday 5TH in the end.
Pain started at 1pm. Days later and every drug/drip/pain killer available i finally gave birth to James Frederick ( 6lb) and Thomas Robert (6lb 2oz) at 00.06 and 00.19 am on saturady morning 7th Aug naturally, although Thomas had a little suction.
Very ...

Hi,

I shared my eggs at a different clinic and it was well worth it, not just financially. We were going ahead with a cycle whether or not any one wanted my eggs (it was getting close to xmas, so some people didn't want to start tmt) then a recipient was found. I was very lucky because i produced ...

I'm signing off now for the rest of the week! Hope to post my good news by the weekend.

Very best wishes to you Tracey, and lets both hope for positive births.
Catch up with you soon.

I'm still here.
Reflexology booked for 1.30pm, so fingers crossed, otherwise a sleepless night waiting for the induction.

Just found this article about starting labour naturally, so am off to try and book some reflexology:

A brief summary of traditional DIY methods:

Exercise lots! Bouncing up and down...

Sex, but especially oral sex - the 'natural' (and gentle) prostaglandins in semen are absorbed more effectively ...

I'm still waiting...... had another pineapple last night, but feel no twinges whatsoever.
I am going in tomorow (tues) at 7.30AM!!

If anyone has any tips about how to cope with induction that would be great. Feeling a bit scared now, but somehow it just doesn't seem real either.
