Sorry - just another quickie.

Lucy Congrats!!!! Will be thinking of you and the ET. Got everything crossed for you that this will be your time xx

Kate - Really pleased for you too and bet of luck Monday!.

Gail/Lola - Hope you and DH are doing ok :wink: . Hugs to you both.

I am going to try and put some "me time" aside this weekend. I am very tired and emotions running high. Not enough hours in the day, changes at work, agro at work, gaining weight, can't get my head round all this etc etc etc (and do realise my problems are small ones in comparison to others so feel guilty for feeling sorry for myself!). Will drink plenty, sleep plenty and hopefully be buzzing with a mega post on Monday lunch!!!! (Lola/Jen - you ask how I am soo positive all the time on the boards - I avoid them like the plague which I feel neg :cry: !!!)

Everyone take care xxxxxxx

Hi Girlies

Well ET went well yesterday. I had 3 embies but back only two good enough for transfer, the two transferred were both 4 cells and the other was only a two cell, therefore they could not freeze that one. My clinic does not grade them anymore, they just go by, Good, Average or Poor, both mine were good.!

So now I just have to wait until the 18th, the lying around is hard for me, I hate it. Boyf has just gone to vid shop for lots of girlie chick flicks for me.

Julie - hope you've had some "you" time this weekend and are feeling better.?

Gail - Hope you're OK hun? Testing day after your b-day eh? Well lets hope it brings me lots of luck.! I was bursting for the loo, I had to go and let some wee out before ET cos it was hurting so much, I felt a bit better after and was ready for them to do ET. Once they were finished I wee'd like a water fall (SORRY TMI)

Jen - Hope you are OK? And had a nice relaxing weekend?

Nicki - Hows you?

Hello to everyone else.

Hi pheonixens

Just a quick one....

Lucy - glad ET went well - now for the dreaded 2ww.... AAARRGGHH!!! Hope you're taking it easy and using mind power to stick stick!

Gail - I just wanted to say that I think you're great for carrying on organising the may tester thread. I couldn't do it in April after my negative - too painful. You rock!

Kate - how's it going?????

Hope everyone else is bueno bueno

I'm off on a course for the next week so radio silent..

Take care all

Love, Lola

Hi lovely ladies!

Just checking in. Lucy hope you're enjoying your chick flicks and putting your feet up, letting your little embies make their way into a snug and settled place :wink: Your 2ww will fly in. You test on one of my best friends b'days so its bound to be a BFP!!

Gail, that was a lovely gesture from your old work mates - yes there are some decent people in the world who make up for all the rubbish :x ones! Hope you're ok lovey 8)

Lola nice to hear your back to your cheery witty self again. I crack up at your posts :D Keep them comin!

Julie sweetie. You're doin the right thing having a weeked off. Every few months I get like that for a few days and just have to get on with "normal" things and pretend all this doesn't exist for a bit! Take care. Hugs :wink:


Kate you're on your 2ww right?? How's you?

Jen hope your takin good care of yourself. We miss ya on here xx

Nicki how's it goin honey??

Dh and I are just back from visiting his sister in St Helen's. Had a lovely time - chilled, drank wine, had a barbecue and sat in the sun.

The day before we went (Thurs) went to visit my nephew (and also godson). He's now 2 and soooo cute I just wish I could se him every day. Thought I did really well as my sis in law is 31 weeks preg and I was totally fine and didn't cry - not even when I got home :D !!

On the tmt front I AM TOTALLY FED UP!! :evil: :twisted: I asked my Edinburgh consultant if he could arrange my hsg locally to save me going 200 miles to Darlington. He said the nhs wait was 6 months but I could get it done within 2 weeks privately. On Friday I still hadn't heard anything (10 days ater speaking to him) so phoned the private hospital to find out if anything had been scheduled. They said they haven't even had a referral regarding me. What's more, it can only be done on a Monday night. This Monday its fully booked then the person doing it is on holiday for a fortnight. That means there is no feasible way I can start diui in 3 weeks when AF comes! AARRGHHHHH!!! I also had to get my bloods repeated during the week there because the nurse forgot to label the samples :evil: If I can start the month after (when next again AF comes)I would be testing 2 days before going to Sorrento - don't know how I feel about that. Also if I still haven't had hsg done by that stage I will have to miss the following month (end July) as day 2 of that AF will be the day I go to Sorrento meaning that I'll have to wait til the following month which will be end August WHICH IS AGES AWAY!

On the plus side, my friend who is manager of the fertility/IVF unit in Edinburgh thinks that the 6 months wait for hsg on nhs is wrong and it might be shorter than that. She's going to check it out for me do there's the chance I could save myself £600 which would be majorly good.

Sorry for the rant. Glad I got that off my chest. :o

Hey Lisa dear, My advice to you is do no stress over this, what will be will be and u must stop stressing!!!

I understand what u are feeling, Ive been there honey. the bloody nhs has much to answer to huh???

We had our HSG on nhs and the wait was nothing, so how come up ur way it's 6 mths!!!? Crazy huh??

Also did u know Hsg has to be done mid cycle?

But if your expected start date is 28th June, mine is 24th June, depends on AF obviously!!


Jen, parhaps Af came early because it's ment to be for you this time, I have a huge feeling with everything changing like me this will be ur time to get FAT!!!!!

Lucy, hope the 2ww is good ok, hang on in there, be strong and remember PMA xxx

Nicki how are you doing. I see that you are on holiday at the end of the month, where are you off to :?: We miss seeing you on the boards :D

Jen I bet that is a weight of your mind now that you have handed your notice in. AF 5 days early and only 3 days until you start treatment. :D How are you feeling in yourself at the moment?

Lis you must be getting stronger, seeing pregnant women is always so hard, well done you for not crying. I can’t believe the trouble you are having trying to arrange your hsg, I cant believe your consultant didn’t put the referral through, don’t they realise we are stressed enough as it is without the incompetence thrown in as well. :twisted: I’m crossing everything for you that you don’t have to wait too long

Lola hope your course isn’t to much hard work and you get some chill out time as well. I will be definitely joining your 3rd time lucky life raft. :P It will be our turn next.

Lucy hope you are enjoying your chick flicks. Glad ET went well and those embies are now bedding down where they belong, only another 8 months to go :D

Julie hope you managed to get some ‘me’ time at the weekend and you spent lots of time chilling with some wine. Hope you don’t get too much agro at work today :twisted:

Kate ET day today, hope everything goes well. You can spend the rest of the day with your feet up chilling out.

Big hello to everyone else.

I’m having mega problems at work, boss from hell. I am trying to sort it out with HR but seem to be getting nowhere fast at the moment. I’m due back in on Wednesday and I think the atmosphere at work is going to be hell because I think HR will have told him I have complained about him, I am desperately trying to move departments and my old boss is fighting to have me back but HR are trying to sweep the problems under the table and pretend they are not there.

Me and DH are desperately putting all our hopes that a fresh cycle will work for us in September time. DH is really concerned about me getting OHSS again and ending up in Hospital, I have tried to reassure him that I am sure it wont happen again and that I will be monitored a lot more. However my concern is that I won’t get many follies because they won’t want to over stimulate me. Any one know
