We're all on line - lets try the chat room!!!!

[lolajones]

saw all your names in the who's on line bit and got excited....

I am now calm. Well, I'm not really - I can't believe it!!! This is an absolute Alias episode style miracle!!!
I hope you are now going to relax a bit and not turtle race your way around lakes looking for fish thingys (you never told us what they were either...)

This is quite simply the best thing to happen on Our Rocktober Rollercoaster thread EEEVVVEEERRRRR!!!!! pm me your address - I want to send you something congratulatory .... y'see, I'm trying to be more maternal towards you given your obscene young age.

Demetrio was so shocked he wet his pants! He also sends his bestest of the best wishes your way missie!!!

Littles so glad you posted - can you bloody believe this! It will you next I AM SURE!!! And I mean REALLY sure!!!! Hello to dh too. You think Steph tried a bit of creovation?

Jen - me and you and the life raft for two! It'll be cosy and we will have around 1 tube between us This is the start of good things for our lovely thread - power ma girl!

Camilla - I think you being back may have done this so DO NOT GO AWAY!!!

I'm off for a calming cuppa - back laters

Lolabagasted!

OMG Steph....what wonderful, wonderful news. You sly dog you....

Congratulations. If you've made it to 7 weeks whilst acting non-pg, the next few weeks should be a breeze.

double hugs
Debra.

Hey noodlers!

Wheres everyone today? busy, busy? Or faced pressed to the tv with snacks in hand? I choose option B.

My boss is back in the office today... so you know what that means... my bloodpressure is rising.. what an arse!

Well, yesterday was my first day of strict pregnancy rules.. drink lots of water, no exercise, no caffeine, no shaggin, ... just chillin! Are you proud of me? I slowed down.. no airboats or anything! I kept staring at the ultrasound picture, I don't think I actually believe it yet. Plus, there is the fear of another miscarriage. How can one person be so excited and yet not excited at the same time? I guess it is the self preservation thang. Hope for the best, expect the worst! Trying not to. Trying to let emotions run sky high and enjoy. McFertility called and said my progesterone was 15... yowza that's low. So, it is progesterone injections for me for the next 5 weeks. but no complaints from me...

I miss you girls! Come entertain me with great adventures... come on Lola.. what did you do yesterday? Saved the world from missile strike in blue wig and hottie Vaughn by your side? Don't forget the f-me pumps! Damn you look good in those you little minx.

Floatin on,
Steph

[gailp]

Steph I just had to jump in and say a very big CONGRATULATIONS to you. Wow what fantastic news, they do say it can happen when you least expect it!!!!

[Walshy]

OMG OMG OMG OMG I go away for 2 weeks and come back and Stephs pregnant, Little R has eggs put back which will by now be imbedded and soon to be pregnant..............I missed you ladies while I was away and this is the best news....

I seriously had to read Stephs post three times thinking she's taking the piss but OMG it is like I am pregnant.............Yay for Steph and Happy birthday as welll.....

Little R I hope you are resting up and really taking it easy. Now that Steph has got the first BFP out of the way it is smooth sailing for us Octoberoonies. I loved that you DH was posting for you how sweet.

Lola not long now until your abomination you will fly through it even with your study avoidance techniques by the way I can totally relate to I am a time wastage queen and felt that my towels needed re-folding or we need to have some chocolate chip cookies instead of doing assignments etc.....

Jen Congrats on the weightloss I am using you for motivation as it all starts Monday for DH and I on our road of healthy eating ready for cycle 3. Bugger also about the house but you never know our luck is turing.

Camilla have you popped yet is your belly button still in one piece. Enjoy your break.

Well I had a great break while away but am glad to be back at the same time. I feel refreshed and ready to start again but am waiting until atleast August as I have been seeing a Naturopath so I'll give the herbs a go for a few months. I am trying not to dwell on the fact that the last cycles did not work but am looking onwards and upwards to the next cycle.

I am still in shock about Steph and you did it all by yourself don't stress out about it and think about how good it will feel to hold your little baby......

Cheers, Walshy

[Walshy]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

I just logged out walked away and then log back in again and yep

STEPH IS PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited and happy for you and DH.........

You are definatley our new Guru for what to do to get up the duff and according to your statistics I drank alot while away so you never know.

[little R]

Wow...... DH and I are speechless.....

I can't believe it....
Steph---you must be on cloud nine as I type... I wonder whether you will ever get off ... this is the best news for us Octoblerones... that it can still happen naturally despite all our issues
Hugs to you and your DH.... it's incredible...I will never be able to say it enough times... it's great

To be entirely honest, I am also green right now.... I have mixed feelings for 31 May and have no symptoms to describe at all.... I can't feel a thing....last time I had a little bleeding and some funny feelings down there...but this time...nada... not sure what to think...and when I start thinking about it...well, I just cry...
Sorry...enough about me....will not rain down on October parade...
You're all the best....and so special to me... I have decided no more posts unless I am happy

DH is taking care of me as my Ma...very lucky to have them both here. DH and Ma will be here for the results and then they both leave...so may need you gals for comfort if the "--" happens.

Thank you for all your encouragement and your sweet and supportive words....

It's back to the sofa for me, reading and watching.... you all take care and will be back later.... I am thinking about each of you and sending you all heaps of sunshine....

Ohh... thanks Steph on the spoilers... happy endings for the Vaughn family then
You must take care of yourself now... here's a super fun book to read whilst you rest up..... reminded me a bit of us all... "Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons" by Lorna Landvik....

MUCH love to the Octochicks... hourrah to us all, up the duff and not up the duff

Little R

[lolajones]

First off - where are you Jen????? I demand you return pronto like

Glad you popped in Littles - I felt nothing either when I got preg so do not worry!!! It is mental about Steph! Do not cry - there will be no "". Nope! Not at all.

Walsheroober - good to have you back - glad you are rested after your break - the 3rd time lucky life raft has a little seat especially for thee whenever you decide to embark.

Steph+1 - how're you??? Hope you're enjoying this and not worrying too much about the "what could go wrongs". Get in the bubble! Keep yo bad self safe! It must be so difficult to take in - have you burned a hole through the ultrasound pic yet? When is your next scan? Will you be absconding from Octos to the P after T end of the world? Hmmmmmm?

Well no prizes for what I'm (supposed to be) doing today, yes! thats right! I'm shaving benicio del toros chest in prep for his latest movie about cross dressing whilst a dwarf with a false nose feeds me dark chocolate and champagne and compliments me on
a) the length of my legs
b) the curve of my breast and
c) the pertness of my peachy bottom

Back on reality avenue, a bleak and barren street to visit, I'm trying to cram a bit more guff into "derrr" head, humiliation by non competetive marking begins in 17 days. Sigh. Want to chuck it in and become a housewife/mother/geisha - whatarethechances?

Righto, off to buy trash mag and read all about the ever popular ( ) Heather Mills McCartney, heh heh, she evil. Also Jen, Geri's in Hello this week "presenting her new baby and telling all about being a one parent family" pppfffffttttt

I'll pop in laters so Steph, I expect some post style sweet lovin' and bump update

Amor and gamma rays of lar-di-dah

Hi Loopy, i'm here, thanks for missing me.

ALERT-----HUGE VENT ON THE WAY .

Just been finding it a little hard over the last few days. Just want everyone to be preggers. My boy who i gave respite care too also has been emotional with me and has been saying i am just like a mum to him etc etc and i just wish i had my own to be a mum with------blah blah blah.

Can't plan any of my life as it seems like its on permanent hold. Want a car-----what size, say it's twins??. Want a house------2-3 beds?? Have to save-----ivf. Can't spend savings-----ivf. No hols, money for -----ivf.
Why can't i have a good old romp like most people and get a little bundle after 9 months???----blah blah blah.

VENT OVER, THANKS GIRLS FOR LISTENING. FEEL VERY SELFISH GIVEN THERE IS GOOD NEWS IN THE CAMP.

Am going away for a wedding in St Andrews tomorrow and staying in a lovely hotel with dh. Need some time out.

Walshy - So glad your back with us and feeling happier, roll on number 3.

Little R - Rest lovely, am thinking of you and your embies.

Steph - Have you come down off Cloud 9 yet. Try to stay calm and relax.

Loops - Sent a pm.

Am thinking of you all and will come back on Sunday in a more positive mood.

Take care

Love Jen x

Hi My Calendar Girls!
Just a quickie for me as I have been on the road since 5am and have already put in an hour of overtime at work.... blah! But, don't yell at me, it is the last long trip for a long time!

Littles- so good to hear from you my sweet! I am very excited for your test day because I feel a big fat positive coming on for you luvey. Don't fret about the nothingness feeling. My first IVF with the positive I felt nothing at all and as we all know I was 7 weeks pregnant and didn't suspect a thing.. period and all! I think the nothing feeling is a good sign. It's your turn babe! Oh, and don't you dare only post happy thoughts! This is the place to rant like a crazy or cry like a fool if you want. Not judgements here.... only honesty!

Lolas- I am truly offended...how dare you suggest that I would abandon this group! I am never leaving! I plan to be 80 and still chatting with you nutters complaining about our great grandchildren! By the by, I too am a fan of your legs, boobs and peachy bottom.....

Jen- I luv a good vent! So satisfying. But you know what I love more.. a night away with DH at fancy hotel..... enjoy sunshine on my shoulder!

Walshy- boy did I miss you! Bout time you came back to us! Your posts cracked me up. I could feel your excitement for me. Lovely.... Props for the beginning of healthy living... although I will keep fingers crossed that the drinks worked for you too!


Outta here for long holiday weekend! Hooray for Memorial Day!

Going home to be a couch potato,
Steph

[Jen1d]

Hi gang

Just wanted to say hi to Little R and see if everything is ok. Hope your relaxing and getting pampered.

Scan tomorrow so will let you know how it goes, feel sure my tube will be zapped?????????????

Hope your weekends good

Love Jen x

[lolajones]

Hola Ma 'Bers

Did you notice? We have now reached 1000 posts - Steph+1 was our 1000th poster! Woo hoo!

Well, I am feeling very sorry for ma bad self today because:
Jen is on Romantic break
R is tucked up with Ma n DH and is with embryos in sunny Dubai
Steph is enjoying long weekend with dh n +1 in sunny PA
Camilla is on holiday
Walsheroo is in fantastic Sydney
and me? Stuck in my flat, on my own, pre panic attack, post depressive trough. when will I get my life back? Where have the good times gone? eh? sigh.

steph - please accept my humbles - didn't mean to brand you a deserter was a cry for help as for my lady lumps, just say the word Demetrio is coming to terms with your pregnancy like the trouper he is, he's finally starting to accept that he may not have a "traditional" future with you

R-minor - how it going sweetbean? Ahem, I don't like this "I'll only post if I'm happy" bunkum...come on!! Thats not what this is about!!!! If you do that and I have to adopt same ethic, I'll never post again!! I am a slave to the rant! Have some easy read book recs for you - have you read the Janet Evanovich books about Stephanie Plum the bounty hunter (let me finish...) they're hilarious and v easy. One for the Money is the first one, there are now 11 in the series...everyone from my ma to my bf are hooked. Please read them, then we can obsess about Morelli and Ranger together. In facto that goes for all of you!! Read them!!! Anyhoo, please check in, 3 days before test!! Stay calm!! Also hello to dhR and Rma

Jemlalalala - how was St Andrews? Did you have romance and fine wines? I hope so, you needed a bit of bueno have you decided about the mini? The power of retail cannot be underestimated!!! As I can't leave the house due to the abomination panic situation, my only option is internet purchase and browse the Argos catalogue.... Elizabeth Duke.... lame lame lame

Walsher - have you got over the shock yet? has the beer n fags fertility diet worked for you? Onwards and upwards as you rightly say amiga! I'll be cycling around the same time as you I reckon, unless my solo fallop need excising in which case it'll be postponed until 2012, just in time for the London Olympics!

Well as usual, chatting to you guys has cheered me up muchisimo I can now skip back to my books with a light heart and a choc biscuit.

Take it easy my very bestest girls
Keep on keepin' on

My Octosweets....

Argh...sorry not feeling very positive at the moment.... and will post anyway I feel like crying and I am not dealing with the 2ww situation very well. I seemed more hopeful last time... this time, well, I just feel depressed and I know I shouldn't... anyhoo... enough about me... hopefully will be put out of my misery very soon... only a few more nights. DH gets home tonight and will be around until results... I need him more than ever....

Wanted to log in and say thank you to you all for being the best encouraging group I have ever encountered....

Jen, love... fingers crossed for your scan tomorrow....I trust that all the fluid has evaporated and your new cycle will be soon on the way. News of mini? colour? How's DH after his op?
Thanks for your constant thoughts....

Lola, love ya girl.... have never heard of the books you recommend? will have to check it all out... and get back to you! Hang in there... know you probably feel like you've had enough of it all.....I am thinking of you...you're my hero... so much on your plate you have (yoda speak!) I have faith in you and your incredible brain cramming.... virtual hugs to you Have passed along your hellos to RMa... she loves your posts...thinks you're hilarious and thanks you for making me smile As for DH, he thinks you are all fabulous and really considers you part of our "family" in this struggle against infertility

Steph.... my Octobuddy and little bump .... so sweet and thinking about you on your Memorial Day Weekend...still on cloud nine? You so deserve it... you know... I honestly don't believe you have anything to worry about...you will meet your little one...no worries. It's ALL different this time around... you'll be at 12 wks in next to no time. Glad you won't desert us ...I need you and Lola would be a wreck without you!

Walshy.... what are you up to?

Camilla....happy hols...


Lots of love to all my Octoshines... wouldn't be here without you girls....

Little R
