:lol: hi girls, i'm back

We had a great weekend, the hotel was brilliant, the staff were great and the food was better, i look 4 months pregnant already!!
Anyway the only crap thing was i couldn't go in the massive bath and relax plus the pool or spa, which i usually love. However i decided to have a massage instead, no wasn't allowed this either. Then decided to have the special massage for expectant mothers (wishing) but nope, wasn't allowed that either. Basically once i explained that little Pebbles and Bambam were inside, nobody would touch me, not even a foot or hand massage? I opted for a haircut and felt great after so that was a bonus.

We are now back to reality and my house seems tiny compared to our luxury room, i defo need to find a house.

So far so good on my lovely wait from hell. I have been feeling fine except bloated and have had quite a few shooting pains but they are not sore. Had a bit of a fright on Friday night when i was about to go to bed. Went to the loo and there was a tiny amount of pink but it was not blood, i know this can happen if they are implanting so went off to bed and had a terrible night (of checking my undies) but nothing else happened.
I am terrified about this week as my AF is due on Tue/Wed and it appeared last time and destroyed our dreams os we're praying we get to Sat without it turning up.

I hate having to wait 16 days, most girls on this site are between 10-14 so i have been considering the evil pee stick if we get to Fri without any AF. I know, stop shouting at the computer girls.

Little R - My test date is on the 16th, Easter Sunday. I'm hoping since you said that i will get lots of eggs in my basket they now turn into lovely bunnies.
Brilliant news about starting to downreg. I felt mixed up like you though. I was keen to get on with it but felt like my life is on hold while going through this. I also can't talk or begin to imagine life if this ivf doesn't work. I just keep telling myself it will work but will just take some time. Keep your chin up lovely bud, we will all be here to help you along the way.

Walshy - Thanks for sharing your rays. We had rain on Sat but they have been here ever since. Don't want to be greedy but can you sent a bit of the heat that goes with the rays as its about 5 degrees here.
Brilliant news about everything moving along again for you. The end of the month will be so exciting, bfp all the way, its going to be a good one.

Lola - How the mad one doing? How spooky is this - my firend in Surrey rang me last week and said she had found a site on the internet that i would maybe like, you guessed it, it was this one. She then went on to say that she had been reading some stories and there was a girl called Lola who had just got some bad news. I nearly fell off my chair and claimed you as MY friend. What a small world it is, she sends her love and felt so sad for you, as we all do. Hope our hugs have been helping you.
Anyway, i know it's only 5.30pm but get to your bed, i like the sound of these dreams.

Steph - How you feeling Octo cool chick? Hope you had a fab time at Gran's party, it sounds like you've been having a busy time. Sit down, relax and enjoy you Grey's tonight, you can tell us all about it tomorrow.

Well am off to put my feet up and relax too, all the luxury over the weekend has left me exhausted haha.
Am so glad to be back with my favourite girls for company.

Hugs and pma. Only 7 sleeps to go until some good news??????????????

Oh buggas- forgot have a meeting .. ooops. will be back!

On the dash,
Steph

Hey Steph.... back from your cowgirling activities :lol: ... super you had a fabulous weekend... when's your next yoga class? Mine's on Sundays, but it will be my last as I start stimming a few days after that...I hope :lol:

Lola, love: how are you doing today? Is your bravado back? Sending you the Sunman if necessary :lol:

Jen: wow..not long to go now..less than a week...I can't believe it comes around so fast. I know it doesn't when you are waiting though.

Walshy: hope you're okay...

It's been a weird day.....not sure what I feel.
I am happy it's Monday... because Grey's on tonight...how sad is that :wink:
I have been trying to read, but I seem to keep reading the same line over and over again...it's hopeless. We may have found new tenants for our home although the renovation is not over yet and I am not sure what to think about it all....who can we trust this time round?

Sorry...a little confused about life at the moment....but sending you all heaps of virtual hugs...

Good news...DH may be skipping his Switzerland flight and staying with me for a couple of days before taking off for OZ/NZL again...

Missing you all,

Little R

:( well today i feel a bit down.
This morning after a visit to the loo i had a small amount of brown, wasn't blood though. It was like the start of my AF but after about 50 trips to the toilet for more checking, nothing has appeared and the feelings in my tum have gone again. My AF is due tomorrow and i'm terrified. I have to get to Friday without AF showing up. I know that people have lots of AF signs and symptoms and still get a BFP, so am trying to think of the positives.
Wish it was Saturday, this is hell. :twisted:

Hope your all ok, will log on tomorrow.

Morning sunshine to you all, my Octochicks...

Hang in there Jen...remember my mantra "It's not over until it's over". :lol: :lol: :lol:
Lots of women get brown discharge.... apparently it's the implantation blood. I know it's hard, but try and keep positive.....
I am wishing the days past for you, love. We're with you all the way.... we also want to hear some happy news too..it gives us hope :lol:

This is just a quickie as need to go grocery shopping..otherwise DH will have nothing to eat tomorrow :lol:

Will be back later to check on Jen.... that she still has a smile on her face, very important for Pebbles and Bam Bam's well-being. Bad if their Ma is all flipped out and paying 50 visits to the loo...

Hoping that Lola is feeling better...and she will post :lol:

Everyone else seems to have gone AWOL :wink:

Happy travelling to Steph... have fun!

Love to you Octofriends.... see you later,

Hugs & kisses,

Hola chicas

Jemla - I think the brown stuff is a good sign - you are deffo going to get a positive - I know it :D :D Check in today and let us know how you're going, sweetcheeks.

R-lette - how're the injectiones? More importantly how was Greys last night? Its wierd starting cycling again - hope your to do list is brimming over. You need to timetable some treats for yo bad self. so, whats for dinner tonight?

Steph Rainbow, sounds like a top weekend. Am a bit annoyed that you have to go off all radio silencio for work, sigh! Was hoping my bodybackbuddy would be around for giggles. I need to start doing yoga. Inner peace and a bendy persona

La Walsheroo - donde esta madam? When exactly do you start the drugs dude?

Well, I still feel like a crapster. Just feel really sad. As I said before, is everything. The gauge is on empty. I am trying to think of things to make it better but am in a bit of a corner because of the exam situation. I need a break, sheesh.
blah blah blah

I'd better go to the library before I implode in disastrous depressive kaboom. Maybe Epidemiology can save me.....? The statistical chances of that have a p value well above 0.1 amigas.

OK, outta here
will check in later for jen and R news

love, lola

Hey Lola...nice to have you back...miss you when you are gone.
I am also hoping for good news from our OctoJen :lol:
Grey's was EXCELLENT...I am so hooked.
Yours is on Thursday right?
I'm actually feeling a little down in the dumps... trying to do positive visualisation when in bed... for instance, in my mindless wanderings, my ovaries have become little white fluffy clouds with Zzzz coming out of them (you know like in the comics)....basically I am wishing them to sleep so when I go to scan on D5 of my AF.... I have the go-ahead for the stimming. Of course, I have to get my AF right :lol: I hope that won't be an issue. At least emotionally, I am ready to have one...being weepy and all :wink:
Gosh.... I am not sure I could even get my brain to go to the library to study.... to read fiction yes :wink:
I truly hope you start feeling better...but it may take some time dearest Lola.
Sending you heaps of sun... there is plenty of it for all of you today :lol: :lol: :lol:

Jen, lass: please give us an update when you can. I am thinking that the discharge is positive...you take care...rest up.
Sunday is the day of the SUN right :lol: well it can only bring positive news :lol:

Heaps of virtual hugs to you all :lol:

:lol: Hi my wee octo buds

Well i feel better today but still anxious and wish it was Sunday.

So far AF has not appeared and after feeling very pre-menstrual yesterday that has now gone although my urine still smells like its on its way(sorry for that one).
Since last night at about 7pm my boobs started to tingle and they are doing it again this morning, especially the left one. My friend has informed me this is good as the left side is the hormonal side according to her pregnancy book.

Anyway we still have a long wasy to go and i will be more relaxed to get to Friday without my AF.

Lola - Have just seen an advert in my Hello mag for Grey's, which is starting on Thursday so will tune in and see what all the fuss is about.
Hope you manage to pick up a bit soon, i know its so hard. Hugs all the way to you.

Little R - Hows the needles, do you have any Emla at the ready. Probably not, its only me who is the wimp here. Are you managing to feel more positive about the cycle now? Keep that chin up.

Walshy - Any date yet for the medi? Let us know how your feeling, we are here when you need a chat.

Steph - Weekend of work, doesn't sound like much fun to me. Hope you manage to get some fun time in there too.

Thanks for thinking about me so much, i couldn't ask for better Buds to give me support.
Am away to put my feet up, as my friend says "a rest everyday keeps the AF away"

:cry: Think its going to be all over for me.
Had more spotting and this time it was red. Am terrified and know its all over. I'm so sad and feel so guilty about not being able to give my dh what he wants too.

Sorry to sound so down in the dumps. Where is everyone when i need a good cry?

Jen I am so sorry that you are going through this.....

Don't give up my friend until you have a blood test it is still possible for you to get that BFP don't say it will never happen as I am sure I have read somewhere on here that another lady went through the same and she got a BFP. You never know it might mean that only 1 egg has implanted not both.

I am sending you lots of kisses and hugs and hope that the spotting stops.

Take care of yourself i'll be thinking of you as I won't be able to post now until the 23 as I am going to the in-laws for Easter.

Happy Easter Everyone....

Take care or yourselves and you DH.

Jen....I am so sorry that I didn't check before hand...so sorry to have left you alone for so long when you needed someone.

Sweetie...I know it looks bad now... but honestly...it's not over until it's over and that test comes back BFN....
There have been so many success stories with IVF.....don't give up hope, love.....

I am thinking about you lots...sending you all the positive thoughts I can...hoping desperately that you are not believing that it is over.
I know it looks bad because this is what happened last time....I can understand that.....don't give up on Pebbles and Bam Bam yet....

I know these times are really terrifying....I hope you are checking the website... if you want to chat.... I'll be back to check in ....

LOTS of love to you....
