Hi all

just poping in to say Hello............and give a quick catch up

i was at the homeopathic clinic today and the doc their gave me so much time and understanding i ended up in tears :cry: It's so wonerful when someone works with the WHOLE of you mind body and Spirit and gives out meds to help with the reaction to BFN and stress over lost AF...as well as ongoing other stuff...feel soooooooooooo much better. even though AF has gone for the month i have every expectation that she will arrive on time next month....

On the dad note Lisa....he is STILL (5wks now) waiting to hear from his consultant regarding his operation...he was told today he should hear in the next 2 wks...that will help him get on with the next step of managing this heart problem...and his life !!!

HI TO EVERY PHEONIX ...has anyone been watching monday nights Life on Mars...i am so hooked....

love jen

Evening girlies!!

Jen glad you got it all out - you really need that sometimes don't you?? Altho in my case I think often!! Would you recommend nutrionist/herbalist?? Altho I'm not ready to do anything just yet (got to get thro this biopsy - only 15 days to go now) I will be hopefully in amonth or so's time.
In answer to the shopping - yes was in Buchanan Galleries, Princes Square and Buchaan Street mostly.

Funny story - was going for a cuppa to Willow Tea Rooms on Buchanan Street with my mum. We passed this old couple in the corrider who were on their way out - after I'd passed the old man I felt this slap on my arse!! He'd smacked my backside with his cap!! Dirty perv!! His wife came running after me saying "I'M SORRY LOVE, HIS ONLY EXCUSE IS THAT HE'S GOT ALZHEIMER'S"!!!!!! No offence taken but very funny :D :lol: :o

Lisa Thats crazy, Alzhiemers, its bad, I know dh's nan had it!!!
Funny, I know from ur story, but u have to feel for the wife having to deal with it, I guess he was a 'LAD' in his day, a right ladies man!!!!

Lisa, Can I ask another Q, Your dh is azzospermic like mine, but u are going down icsi route, us donor.....Your Dh had the op to retrieve sperm right??? How much did they get, what i mean by that is, how much do they retrieve, just enough for 1 cycle or do u have some frozen and ready for a few cycles???

Can u PM me with this, as I am going off line now for the move, not sure when I'll pic it up, and then by the time u have posted I will have thousands of posts to hunt through!!!!!
Sorry lovies, I know ya all understand, what moving is like, but until I get back on line, Good luck with everything. Hope to catch ya soon.....

Hi Girls!!

Just a quickie as had financial adviser round all night about new mortgage deal - very fascinating evening! :roll:

Lucy and MLG nice to hear from you both. :)

Jen - at the biopsy they will try and find sperm from dh as he has a zero count. They have given us 30% chance of finding some..... not great huh? :cry: Its complex cos if they don't find anything they will do some lab tests, analysing testicular tissue - these will take a week to come back. The results will tell whether dh producing any small amounts of sperm at all and therefore if its worth going for it again. If its all negative then its donor. Have also heard about a method of incubating sperm to give it a better chance after biopsy of being good enough quality for icsi. My unit hasn't mentioned this so sent a letter to consultant asking - just waiting on reply which is killing me. I'm so impatient!

Nicki doll will pm you tomorrow if that's ok as have some unpleasant work stuff to sort out now :( Night night phoenixes, sleep tight!
