Swing Lo Tubers!

Sorry to say, but must be honest with my bunnies, Black cloud o' Doom is still lurking above me. It is on rotational cycle. One minute it is hovering above quietly not noticed but always there, the next it is torrential downpour! Lola- could you spare Demetrio for a sec, I need a dragon slayer and we all know how multi-functional Demmy is.

Lola- how did the talky talk go, hmm? Bore anyone to death? Very doubtful. I am picturing a little fireball that is you speaking with ease and great intelligence... although I wouldn't mention Demetrio, little raft or magi-bubble if I were you. How are the drugs treating you these days? And what did you mean 4 sleeps until holidays- are you going on a little rendezvous too? Leaving me with only Demetrio and little black cloud o' Doom.... tear in my beer. Am quite enjoying She's a Lady.... but for some reason It's Rainin Men is stuck in my head today. Chuckles.

Jen- hows the needles and the drugs? Did you get stuck by the pro yet? Was it greatness and relaxation? Just dying to know. I need some calmness right about now. If it has to come in needle form so be it.

Little R- you are in so much trouble!! You have been gone long enough. Time for re-entry into Octo Land of the crazies.

Walshy- anything new and exciting?

Over and Out Good buddies,
Steph

Hi girls
Well after reading your posts i felt quite sad and yes i did get angry and think why us but hey, you know they give these things to the strongest people and we will get there. Just think when we all have our little miracle ivf babies then we can meet up and giggle about this all (i want to meet at Little R's or Steph's though with all the sun).

Don't get me wrong girls i have my down days and feel so angry at times and the guilt, well thats another story (a long one). I just wish i was younger then at least i would have more years to deal with this.
One thing that does annoy me is the way the hospital sends the bill through the post like its a Lecky bill. Have been organising it today and am down another £3000, makes me mad when others fall pregnant at the drop of a hat.
People at work are supportive but noone really knows what we are going through. They all smile and ask how the medi is going but don't have a clue.
Anyway I WILL stay positive. and Lola you did make me laugh about Scotland running out of Emla.
What great friends you are. Please don't feel down and Steph just take time out from your friends but if they are real friends they will understand and be there for you when you need to contact them again, if not then kick em to the kerb girl.
My medi is going fine so far. I find this bit drags but once the injections come along it all goes so quickly to the 2ww. No side affects yet but have had trouble sleeping for the last two nights, don't know if its connected but it's early days.
Am off to work for another sleepover so will catch up with you all on Wednesday night after my first acupuncture treatment aaaaahhhhhhhhhh can feel the pain already.

Love and hugs Ocotberies, stay strong.

MY Octofriends..... so so so sorry.... will you all forgive me? :oops: :oops: :oops:

I have been thinking about you all the time but have been having a rough time and not much access to the Forum....

Switzerland was not a happy visit :cry: and have some thoughts to share on that, but much later.
Home in Dubai now and my father is around so had to get out the tourist cap again :wink:

It's great that you have been all posting...there is so much to read.

Just wanted to drop you all a line and reiterate that I HAVE been thinking about you all and I have perused some of the posts...
WOW some exciting news... can't wait to print out and read properly :-)

MUCH love,

Little R :lol:

Okay.... WOW, WOW, WOW....

First things first...wanted to say that it really warmed my heart to see that my name came up in your posts and that you were thinking about me too and ordering me back from my holidays :lol: :lol: :lol:
Very sweet of you and I would have liked to have returned sooner to my friends.

I really miss not reading about your lives and not being able to "share" my thoughts on a regular basis :cry:

To cut a long story short, I wish "holidays" was the words.... I guess the fact that it rained NON-stop for 6 straight days probably helped dampen my spirits. At the end of my stay, I hadn't seen that much rain in the past 2 years. Anyway... in a nutshell, we have a house in Swizerland that we have been renting out. The former tenants from hell stopped paying rent and after much battle, time and energy we finally managed to evict them. We returned to Switzerland to check on the house as some renovations were necessary....well it turns out that this seemingly well-to-do family literally trashed the place :!: :!: :!:
I love our house and seeing it in such a dismal state was awful. I cried when I saw all the damage... :cry: :cry: :cry:
So basically, we spent our holidays going over the damage, trying to repair some of it ourselves (painting etc) and finding painters, builders etc to help us with the next steps....

Our "holidays" were emotionally charged.... to say the least and financially it has been difficult...

Well enough about me.... now for your girls :lol:


Amazing news Steph.... you SO deserve your own little one and this is like unbelievable news... your doctor has become my hero... can he be exported out here ;-)? I wish my doctor would be as generous.
I can't believe your news...it's brilliant.... :lol: :lol:
I am SO SO SO happy for you Steph, my partner-in-crime...
You hang in there... I really can relate to your feelings concerning your infertility. I have unfortunately broken off contact with some close friends because I couldn't handle their pregnancy news or their constant sharing of how wonderful their life is... I know it sounds terrible and self-centered, but I see it as protecting myself. We have to go through so much already when in treatment that I can't face having to be strong when it is not necessary. I am a firm believer in the idea that if you haven't experienced IVF you cannot possibly understand what a person in treatment is going through. You can try but at the end of the day you can only sympathise.
I think your reactions are normal and you shouldn't feel guilty about them. I wish I had the solution but it's so hard to consistently pretend that it doesn't hurt you....
Honestly, I think given what you have been through these past months... you are doing brilliantly.... When I get my AF and I hide under the shower with the water blasting in my face, sobbing so DH can't hear.

Lola, Lola, Lola - sweetie, I am really confused :shock: . Clearly as I know nothing about FET. I thought that your big day was 21st. Multo apologies if I was sending you heaps of PMA from Switzerland on the wrong day. SO happy that you get to see Switzerland after all. You deserve some fun and games after your studies and the FET.... you going to Verbier?? You're not skiing though are you? I would consider that an extreme sport ;-) I must say that I did enjoy some very yummy raclette and some "filets de perche" from Lac Léman after a long day of painting the garage doors :wink:
You sound very perky and upbeat...how did you presentation go? I am sure that you aced it and are very calm and collected.... I HATE presentations... feel sick beforehand!

Jen, girl..... hope you are okay with those needles... I bet you are taking it all in your stride... so what are your dates?
How are you feeling? You sound pretty upbeat too.... Good luck with the acupuncture. Tell me whether you feel a difference.

Walshy - how are you doing downunder? No more visitors so you can bask in the lovely sun? ;-)


Must dash....need to cook dinner....yes, very boring I know.....

Much love to all of you and will talk to you tomorrow :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've just waved Demetrio off at Heathrow - he's on his way steph, expect his parachute to open above your town in approx 10 hours.
Sorry the black acrid fugue hasn't shifted yet - it will! If you huff, and you puff.....
Yesam, 4 sleeps until Switzerland to seek out Little Rs tennents and get mediavel on their bad selves. After I have consumed my weight in melted cheese of course. Only away for 5 days, gotta be back for de reg scan.
Little R, my FET is v like a full ivf, meds-wise. 16 days of deregging, 12-14 of uterus lining fortification and spring cleaning then 3 days progesterone then ET (prob around 28th March). Sorry you had such a pants time in Switzerland - you must be over la luna to be back in the sun :D
Jemlass, the dereg bit really does drag, I aint sleeping either, think it is the meds - how come you can sniff and I have to inject then?

Weeeelllll, my prizantishon was lacklustre. It put me in a very I'm crapster mood. But pppfffttt to that frankamente. I have mucho going on at present so how can I be on top form? Jeez louise.

I'm going to say a negative thing now. I feel really alone with this FET cycle. My family, friends n boss aren't interested, it's like, you've been through this before so you don't need help support encouragment. And I'm not about to ask for it, not my thing. Also, because dh doesn't have to give a sample, he can drink alcohol and eat shite whereas I can't so its like he's less involved. It feels like I'm alone with this and just have to get on with it. Which I do. I guess I feel a bit neglected. My best bud for last cycle was fantastic but she, of course! is now off on maternity leave, having C section on 9th (my scan day). hard hard hard.

Ah well, I need kick up ass!! Off to give myself one.

PS She's a ladeh!

Top of the Mornin' Sunshines that are Octobers!

Well, well...... The enormously monsterous black death cloud that has been tailing me is much smaller and slightly silver-lined today. Feel mucho better! Either it was Demetrio or the Pride and Prejudice movie-a-thon that I had last night. That is my all time favorite book and the movie is tip top for anyone who hasn't seen it. Good ol fashioned luvy! sweetness. makes you say aahhhh. "you have bewitched me body and soul".... who wouldn't fall in love with that? I'd do him :wink:

Lola- Demetrio has arrived and is looking very dark, brooding and sexy. I see he has broken the cheesy-fries habit, but he is in PA now and may have some trouble staying clear of the Philly Cheese Steaks. I have had serious trouble with him grabbing my *ss- he likes my junk in the trunk and my lady humps... I would if I were him too... now, now Lola- no
jealousy. I will get my fill and send him back! He will be back in plenty of time for your little trip to other-regions! Will miss my Lovey Lola Bug. Tear.

Little R, Little R, Little R!!! How happy you have made me that you are back to Planet Crazies! Sorry the va-kay wasn't exactly a fun trip. But hey, you needed the extra stress right? We all need a reason to drink! Thanks for the reminder of how great it is to have a money back gurarantee IVF... I was concentrating on the stress of another cycle, rather than fact that it is great we can do it again. Thanks a boat for the understanding of the friends situation.... you hit the proverbial nail on the head- I don't have the extra strength to spare to pretend to be OK around my friends.... I need every ounce just to go through the days and IVF. You have come back from your trip with great wisdom, oh wise one!

To my other ladies in waiting Wlshy and Jen- howdy doody?

Huffin and Puffin the Black Cloud Away!

I love it when he's dark and brooding - like Angel before he got chubby and started doing Bones (give me a break!) Anyhoo, so he likey that wagon yo draggin? He is the King of Ass, the Booty Magnet. Oh, dear me, I seem to have dropped my pencil....shall I just bend over and get it....
Keep him away from the cheesy fries, we've come too far to blow it now.

I tell thee what ladies - as the song goes - Tom Jones saved my life today. I was having HIGH ALERT anger waves, bordering on Tourettesville, Call the crash team!! Whats New Pussycat administered STAT STAT STAT and suddenly this aint Kansas anymore Toto. What a career saver.

Also Hapus Dydd Dewi Sant! Yes!!! It's Saint Davids Day today!! He is the patron saint of The Wales and we celebrate this great day by killing English people in amusing ways using vegetables and mining equipment. We don't enjoy it of course but it is compulsory. We also dine on seaweed bread and vegetarian sausages and everyone has to wear costumes made of highly flammable man made fibre. Oh we sure know how to let our hair down in the Valleys. Sadly, I was captured by an english mobster and am now imprisoned here in London where no-one celebrates this lordly day (sigh).

I just downed a whole bag of gummy bears - I am 3 breathes away from vomming.

On that note, I will take my leave of thou fine ladies.
Fare thee well and may Dewi Sant be with you all. Cymru Am Byth!

Hwyl!

Hey Lola and Steph....forgot just how crazy your Octochicks are :lol:
I think I need a glossary to decode your lingua franca 8)

Such fun to be entertained by you girls :!:
I have sincerely missed it.

Glad you sound more upbeat Steph... give yourself a break..you certainly deserve it :D I can't wait to see that Pride and Prejudice movie. You're so lucky to live in the US where all your movies come out before ours. Would you recommend that I purchase the DVD? You must know about Colin Firth's rendering of Mr Darcy..... lots of English women were swooning from his magnificence...so does the actor in the new P&P live up to Colin Firth's smouldering attitude?
On another note... TV alert!!!
Grey's Anatome is starting on TV tomorrow.... so I gather that I should be recording this?
Back to the IVF world...I am still in shock about your news. My DH said that we NEED to set up home in PA and seek out your doctor. He has become our hero :wink:

Lola, girl... you are one wicked Welshy ;-)....not sure where my loyalty lies..my maternal grandfather was half Welsh and my maternal grandmother was Scottish....so where does that leave me.... dazed and confused! :shock:
May I just say that I love gummy bears. :lol:
Your mini-break (sounds very Bridget Jonesy, Miss Jones :wink: ) is looming. Sounds like you desperately need a change of scenery. You certainly deserve some fun what with all you've been through. I bet you can't wait to see all the snow. It's been snowing a lot in Lausanne from what I hear so sounds like you are going at the right time. I am actually headed back there on 8 March for about 10 days.
Thanks for the details concerning the FET... :shock: wow, I didn't realise it was so elaborate... thought it was breezy and with just an ET. Sorry for my ignorance. :oops:

I have finally managed to make an appointment with my Dr to discuss our 2nd cycle on 25th March. Not a big deal... I think that I may be cycling mid April... we shall see. :D
My DH keeps telling me that 2006 is our year.... I so wish I could 100% believe it. :?

Anyway... lots of housework to do before DH returns from his trip...

Much love and keep those grins on your faces my Octoblerones!

PMA on the way!

Hey Diggity's!
How are the sunshines of my life?? I hope fabu-lo-so!

Black cloud o doom lifts higher everyday.... although the Marsupial (my boss) is giving me increasing headaches! I shall use Lola-birds trick of singing She's A Ladeh- woo, woo, woo....

Question of the Day- what professional can be wron 90% of the time and still get paid..... darn tootin weather people! They promised me sleet, freezing rain and ice this mornin and instead I woke to bone dry! Which means I did not get the extra hour or so of sleep I was so very lookin forward to. Stupid weatherman!!

Lola- I have sent Demmy back to you. He had a fabulous time in PA, we snuggled and ate Cheesesteaks and watched Pride and Prejudice 17 times. Unfortunately, DH is very protective of his goods and little green monster was rearing ugly head, so it was with tears and sadness that I waved goodbye and blew kisses and sent your Demetrio back to you, his Lola Love.
About the gummies.... I have to say that I am a fan of Jelly Bellys myself. Full jelly bean texture and bite size pieces, but with added benefit of grown up flavors! Yumminess! Although the office jelly belly bowl is currently tainted as everyone around here is sick. I started with it this AM. Ugh. I hate sick.

Little R- You must watch Grey's Anatomy- very funny, dramatic, sexy all in one show. Keep eyes peeled for Dr. McDreamy! The show just keeps getting better as it goes. Also, for Pride and Prejudice, I give the new Mr. Darcy two thumbs up! He's all man baby. Brooding, sexy with attitude. Yowza. Congrats on setting your next appt. I will keep all good luck parts crossed that you can begin cycling very soon. Starting from scratch same as me right? I am looking at it as a fresh start! A kick start if you will.

In other news- I should get the results to my sunny side up egg test today or tommorrow... Will it show a chromsone deficiency? Stay tuned for details as the story develops. You'll get it here first!

Jens--- where'd ya go with yo bad self? You too Walshy!

Blowin this popsicle stand....

:lol: Hi girls,

Well i declare myself a non wimp of the october buddies now. The acupuncture was a doddle. I had one in each hand then roughly 10 in each leg from the knee down as this is the best site for fertility apparently. Have booked 5 more sessions until ER as they advise not to have after this. Was not painful one bit but a little nippy on my foot for about 10 mins after it was removed. Felt relaxed although my legs were heavy. Maybe after more sessions i will see it working but i did sleep better that night, so Lola get yourself an appointment.

Have been on a Team Building day and am knackered so will chat tomorrow properly. Just wanted to tell you how proud i am of myself for being so brave.

Great to see you back Little R, catch up soon

Love Jen x

Hello.................

You ladies are all so diligent in posting you make me look bad....

Well done Jen on the accupuncture front. I am very pruod of you! Is it like being stung with a mosquito? That's sort of how I imagin it would be....
Is there a reason they don't do after your ET?

I hope your results come back fine Steph and that your eggs are sunny side up.... I've never heard of jelly belly but am now intrigued and might now be surfing the net to see where I can get some. That and taffy we don't have that over here but i see it on Sex and the City and want to try it....

LittleR the middle of April.....does that mean your abandoning me for the May cycle. To be honest I don't know if i can last til may either. The Doc said come back when I am ready which I am now but we decided to wait a while so I will :roll: It's great though that you are getting the ball rolling again.

How is your lining going Lola? Nice and thick? If I'm not around when the eggs go back in best of luck.....I didn't find the drugs as intense as a full stim cycle for the FET. The worse part is waiting to see if they survive the thaw and then of course the much dreaded 2WW.

As for me it is my 5 year wedding anniversary and my DH is taking me away for the weekend for a suprise...he has managed to not blurt it out to me although I continually try and stump him to tell me. The restraint to not check the credit card statement to see where he has booked has been awful. I think he might be taking me to the vineyards for time together to drink wine. I havn't been all that happy of late too many people with babies and calling them the names that we wanted to use (they didn't know so I can't be that horrible) so Mr Green eyed monster has reared his head again! It was releif to read that you ladies have had the same awful cloud hanging over you.....It must be somethign in the air..

Must go my DH is packing my bag for me and i need to go investigate what he is putting in there and try and work out where I am going :)

Hey Butter Beans!

How are the girls of Planet Crazy? Ready to rocket outta here to World Normal? Well, there is only one solution- we must ALL get knocked up during our next cycles! Plan? Agree! Here, Here!

Well, the sickness is here, unfortunately not a fun one like morning sickness. This is very witchy..... headaches, sinus issues, the draining and chest heaviness and cough. That darn secretary diseased us all. Or maybe i have slipped into Lola Land where immune deficiency runs rapid! But, of course I need to save sick days for my cycle.... grrrr, so I am here at work pretending not to be asleep at my desk.

Still have not gotten the chromosone/eggy results. I fully expect them to verify that my craziness is in fact a chromosonal problem. Alas, an answer.

Jens- nice to see you round these her' parts. Congratulations Supergirl of acupuncture supremecy. Your cape and leotard are in the mail. You tough nut!

Walshy- Props on the 5 year anniversary! I hope DH provides you a very romantic and relaxing weekend as you deserve it! Although, the fact that he was actually packing clothes.... what are they for? He, he. As far as the jelly bellys, if you can get your hands on them you must try the buttered popcorn flavor- hmm,mm. I am also a fan of cappucinno and mango and juicy pear and chocolate pudding... oh there are so very many. Tummy Yummy! Don't worry about cycling later than the rest of us, we will be here with pom poms and butt loads of PMA and WAA!

Lola- Lewy, no new from you today heh? Did you leave for your trip already? Hope you have a "girls just wanna have fun" kind of weekend!

Little R- nothing from you either.. that must mean that DH has returned and you are devoting some serious catch me up time! Woo- hoo Cowgirl!

Sleepin the day away,
Steph

Hi gang

Well another day of downregging and still no sign of the lovely hot flushes that usually appear but i guess it's early days. Had a couple of headaches but nothing big but i have been feeling sooooo tired the last couple of days. Don't know whether it's the medi or not. I suppose every cycles different so will just have to go with the flow. My baseline scan is on the 9th March.

Walshy - You lucky thing to be heading off for some pampering and lurve. Have fun and try to relax.

Steph - Hope you feel better soon. Dope yourself up with lots of medi and sweat that cold out in bed chillin.

Mad Lo - You should be a writer. I wonder what you are ranting on about sometimes but it maks me laugh, what an imagination you have. Hope your feeling ok.

Little R - Are you feeling a bit better? We all worry too much in this world and although things look bad just now they wll get better and your house will be gorgeous again.

Going to view a couple of houses again this weekend, the hunt goes on.

Have a good one girls

Love Jen x

Bonjour petit lovelies

A brief note afore I leave for Land o the Switzer. Is wierd, as soon as I put my "out of office" on today at work I felt a huge weight lift from my puny shoulders, hoorah! Holiday!

Well then Jemlap, our de reg scan is the same day! Stirrup twins!! Come on the Toblerones!!!! I am very proud of you and Operation: Acupuncture. You will be one chilled out mama by the time ER comes about. I had my first night sweat - hello lover. The headaches and lethargy are def due to Evil Buserelin. Never mind - we be stimmin and womb building soon!

Little R we will probably pass eachother in Geneva airport! I'm leaving on the 8th. Look out for me! I'll be the one shouting in bad french!
I missed the entire Colin Firth Love Jugganaut, it was when we were living in Chile. My crush at present, and ladies, tell me if I am way off here, is Chris Noth (Mr Big in SATC). Am I a freak? Is it just the gummy bears talkin?
Are you looking forward to your appointment with doc? Are you in forgetting ivf mode at the moment?

Stephabee lamb. Take to your bed and demand more movies! Sorry you're sick - maybe my immunosuppression is catching. Top tip, the best thing for sinus pain is to shoot yourself in the head (a la Dick Cheney). Under medical supervision of course.
Demetrio is really moody since getting back, I think he misses you. He is also pouting about my trip to Swizz - I worry about comfort eating...
So will they just ring up with your results of eggnesity? Surely you have to go in and get proper Alias debrief? I hope all is top top top. btw, your flavour of madness prob won't show up so :wink:

La Walsheeeee off on a diiirrrrtty weekender with man o dreams - let us know the details, the publishable ones anyways. Have a wonderful time gal. Its a real ***** when others are crowing about their babies and chosing names and all the cute stuff. No-one has picked same name as me though so Lucifer Falconetti Jones is a safe bet.

So indeedo cheedo, off I fly a morrow as usual woefully underprepared for climate. Have been frantically ransacking cupboards for vaguely suitable attire. I've come up with a pair of very long socks and a pair of water proof trousers that only fit if I wear them ghetto style. I will rock the slopes! Planning on suiting up in heathrow shopping spree.

So I will miss you beauties while I'm away, take care o yo bad selves now y'hear?

Adios Amigas

Hey there Octobleronies....

I have been missing from the posts as have had a terrible cold and have not bothered to get out of bed. I know, it's pretty lame but have been feeling a little sorry for myself. I am going through a phase...

It's weird....I am actually nervous about the IVF because I am SO sad and disappointed that I haven't been able to conceive since then. I guess I was still hoping for a miracle as you sometimes hear. I guess I should stop listening to the old wives' tales and get ready for the reality of it all. I guess I am just really sad today...
I have tried to patch things up with my cousin who's just had her baby and I feel that the rift between us is too big to fill with a few words. I don't like the phone and would rather have a face-to-face with her but that is geographically impossible. She doesn't even know about the miscarriage and the details of what I have been through. I think it's important that she know as it also explains my standoffishness. Any thoughts dear friends? I have tried writing to her and she's not terribly responsive. I have been sending postcards to her baby...he's my little cuz after all. It's not his fault...it's no one's fault... it's tragically life.
:oops:
Apologies, I am in a bit of a sorry-for-myself mood. I'll be back to my normal smiley self soon.
Sorry to whinge on...

I was hoping to catch that Lola lady before she arrived in Geneva airport intimidating my Swiss compatriots ....sniff, was too late. :cry:
Know that I am thinking of you lovely Lola... have heaps of funs on those ski slopes...eat tons of fondue and raclette AND chocolate :wink:
Yes, we may cross paths in Geneva airport...how strange is that? :shock: Although my main rendez-vous is with a paintbrush and not with skis :D
I am curious do you look like Catherine Zeta Jones? :wink:
Oh Lola love.... nope Mr Big doesn't do it for me....Colin Firth is the hottie!

Steph, love - I am keeping my fingers crossed that you will have super news to share with us :lol: Keep us posted ASAP. Your eggs...the only thing that the drs will discover....that they will already be oozing way too much personality and a fiery independence...and maybe even a slight addiction to movies and slushy novels :lol: :lol: I honestly believe that that is genetically transmitted.
Your boss sounds very snarky....poor you having to deal with that at the office....
Grey's Anatomy is on tomorrow night so getting the VCR rigged up :wink:

Jen - hourrah!!! You are in the right mood... be proud of yourself...you go girl... we're proud of you too. Well done with the acupuncture and hope it makes you feel relaxed and serein. How's your green tea consumption going? Found any exotic flavours yet?
Good luck with the househunting

Walshy - I am here for you.... I am going for my appointment on 25 March BUT will be cycling hopefully as of mid April, this will mean that I will overlap with you in May---- besides, I will be around for you when it is your turn. No worries my Octofriend. We will not abandon you....
Your 5 year-anniversary sounds like perfect-timing..your DH sounds really sweet. I don't think my DH has ever packed for me :wink: ..in fact, I am too much of a control freak to let that happen :lol:


It's our year Octochicks.... we all deserve to have a great 2006

Much love... although no PMA or WAA this time around... need it for my selfish self :D
