Hi Gals

How your weekend been? Must all be having a ball since nobody is around.

We have been to see a few houses and liked a couple so will go back to visit. One has a good view of the sea but might be oo expensive.

Little R - Your life sounds nice and calm, your dh seems to pamper you, lucky thing. I'm going to do a huge jig to help your AF arrive.

Will log on tomorrow when everyone is about for a chat.

Love Jen x

Girl, Girls, Girls!!
Howz it?

It seems all quiet on Tuberland.. Everyone out and about having a long weekend? Lola is probably in brain dead induced recovery coma... either that or partying away still celebrating.

It is very quiet in office today.. there are only 3 of us here in the entire division.. it is July 3rd and we have off for 4th of July, so most everyone took off today as well.. I need to save my time though so I am here... but there is a music fest along the riverfront so the 3 of us that are here are going to walk down for some totally bad for you, totally tasty "streetfair" foods for lunch.. Can anyone say extended lunch hour?

Littles- I was glad to see you back round luvs.. missed ya. Also, glad that you seem more smiley.. trying new things, making plans. Sounds like DH is keeping close eye! Good for him. Am doing witchy woman jig for ya bunny.

Camilla- how can you not find out what you are having? I gotta know. I am going to find out the minute I can! Everyone in our life insists it is going to be a girl, including the hubs. So, we will all be shocked if it is a boy... but as you know.. we really don't care.. a healthy baby is all that matters.

Jen- Dream house hunter! I think a view of the water sound divine! Good luck chum.

Walshy & Loolers- I order you back!

Hi girlies

Where are all my friends

So hows everyone doing? Is Loopy too brain dead to write to us after all her hard work, is Littles shopping for that hifi or trying to avoid the sun, is Steph relaxing so much at work she cant lift a finger to type from exhaustion, is Camilla's bump making the computer too far away and cant reach the keyboard and Walshy, is she just wanting to stay away safe in Oz as were all to weird for her

Please come back to play

Steph - Thanks for you good luck but the house with the view has been sold for a good offer so missed that one Have a few more to see and really like one of them. The good news is our survey is all fine and the house is defo sold. We move out on the 15th Sep, we chose a long entry date so we have plenty of time to hunt.

Will drop in soon when you all come back

Ciao amicos

Ladies!
Very sad that there has been little action from the crazies today.....

I will be off tommorrow for the 4th- hoo-RAH! and will be road trippin for work on Wed and Thursday.... which means I will be back to catch up on the latest gossip on Friday! Everyone had better check in by then or I will take Demmy and the magi-bubble hostage! Loolers- you know that you need the magi-bubble.... the magi-bubble is like your crack.

I get my last shot tonight girls... my bum is saying thank god! It will truly be an independence day for me tommorrow..

By the by, had the fair food... ... that food is so not nutritional.. but was tasty... I held back from getting a funnel cake or chocolate dipped frozen cheese cake, but was unable to resist the egg roll... am hoping to digest by Friday...

happy 4th.. well for us
Steph

[little R]

Hey Jen and Steph...looks like I missed you. Sorry!

I have just finished watching Grey's.... it's back on since the World Cup is nearly over. I LOVE THAT SHOW! Meredith has just got her answer from McDreamy...did he chose her?? Absolument fabulous!! Argh!! I have to wait another week to participate in the lives of those captivating interns

Steph, have a fab 4th of July... and enjoy your day off. What fun.... lots of fireworks then

Jen, congrats on your house... wonderful news.... so nearly a month after your op you move

I haven't been online much as there is not much to add really....I haven't done very much today as have been completely knackered. I am still waiting for the wicked witch. I have never been this late before (I am usually a Swiss clock)... pfff...I wish AF would get here already so I can start cycling again. The really weird thing is that I have all the symptoms, but nothing is coming out
I will call the clinic tomorrow morning and will schedule a scan as the nurse suggested. Perhaps they can fit me in before the weekend. I hope as this wait is annoying...

I can't imagine what you must feel like, Walshy, I'm already going out of my mind!

Lola, lass....where are you? Enjoying your time off?

Much love... talk to you tomorrow

Hugs to all you fab ladies

Little R

Steph... we were on at the same time....pity I can't yell to get your attention!

Have a great time away from the office...

Hugs

Dearest Octopals.....I am in tears....yet another disappointment...

In a nutshell, I won't be doing my FET in July...my AF is late and not sure when it is going to turn up.
My doctor is going off on holiday on July 20 until September (this was already planned and I was aware of it...I just didn't expect my AF too be so late! She will no longer be around for the ET on Day 6. There is only one substitute doctor who is around at that time and hell will freeze over before he touches me (he completely lacks a sensitivity chip!)
I will therefore be doing my FET in August with another doctor who I met again today...he's really sweet.

Anyway, DH is not here until Thursday so I have been texting him the news...and he's in a completely different timezone so the message is "pending"...sorry for all the boring details Little R has no one to talk to...

Not sure what to do with myself.... I so wanted to go back home to CH in August and now that won't be happening... Sorry to vent... I am just so fed up with this situation......

I hope you are all well and Steph is enjoying the festivities

Much love,

Little R

Hi buddies

Little R - Checked in to see how you were doing and I'm disappointed for you too. Your wicked AF is being so unco-operative and I know, it's not fair. Still if you don't want a particular doc then you're best to go with the new one. I'm hoping July goes super quickly for you.

Jen - So happy for you that your flat is sold! You need July to go by fast too so you can have your op. Does anyone have a time machine?

Steph - How long till you'll be able to discover what flavour of little angel you have in there?

Walshy - Any news on your long lost AF? I've been jigging for you and I'm exhausted.

It's been quiet for everyone then for the last few days, but at least none of us have pages to read through to catch up!

I was getting excited for Little R's forthcoming FET and now we're going to have to make sure she stays upbeat till Aug, so we need happy, positive, funny input from everyone - relying on Lola and Steph!!

Take care girls.

Catch you tomorrow.

Love Camilla xxxxx

[little R]

Hey Camilla, thanks for checking in....nice to read some upbeat words...

Feeling crumbier as the day goes by..I can't believe my bad luck....well, in fact, I can as it's been going on for nearly 5 years
You can take everything, but you'll never be able to strip me of my sense of humour

Not much interesting going on here....
I have been catching up on online current affairs... have just read an update about the Natalie Evans case.....not sure what to think about her situation....what a predicament...poor lady, my heart goes out to her.

Our pool has been fixed... so I am going to go swimming tomorrow...perhaps lots of exercise will bring on the wretched witch! Gosh, I can't be like Walshy and drink grass clippings... not courageous enough for that

Virtual hugs to all,

Much love,

Littles

[Walshy]

Hi,

There isn't much to catch up which is good.

Well I am just back from my first accupuncture session.... Yep took the step and have been stuck with fine little needles all over the place. Damn it this next attempt on of IVF I am going to try anything my grass clippings, accupuncture, eating healthy, jumping on one foot whatever it is I am going to get that BFP. Anyone got anymore suggestions?

Little I am so sad the AF hasn't shown up for you yet. She is laying dormant for me as well. Maybe they are off together playing somewhere forgetting that we need them. I wish there was something that we could do to help you. I think your strong just going through this TTC journey so don't be so hard on yourself you are doing fine and we will get our dream one day (we are just taking our time ). Thank god for Grays Anatomy which I have 2 episodes taped to watch later so we can discuss later. Also when your doing your FET I will be doing my full cycle so we will be in it together anyone else want to join us?

Camilla thanks for doing the jig but it still nothing. How is your little bundle are you getting big now? Are you on the count down or is it still a novelty?

Jen yay on the house selling.... I hope that your house that you love is just around the corner then your mini will arrive then the BFP damn it we have you life mapped out as well. Your not all too weird for me I understand weird and speak fluent wierd myself.

Steph there isn't much goss to catch up on which is crazy cause usually we are the posting queens of October. What is a funnel cake I don't know but I think I need to get myself some (still trying to eat healthy and exercise is killing me).

Miss Lola where are you??

Has anyone realised that it is only 3 months until October again time is going to quickly. OK time to go & vege in front of the tv take care Walshy

[camilla]

Afternoon girls

Thought I'd just say hello and I've logged on and read the latest posts and would be rude to go without saying anything!

Little R - Swimming sounds nice and cool.

Walshy - Good for you and the acupuncture. How did you find it, not too uncomfortable? I've got 5 weeks to go and it had better not be any longer!

Hello to the other Octobies - Jen, Lola and Steph - love you too.

Camilla xxxxx

[little R]

Well another hot and sticky day in the desert and, I have to be honest with you, I am feeling crappy....

Well AF turned up (which is good...sigh of relief!)....but one day too late...and so still can't make the July FET cycle with my doc... oh well, I am not a happy bunny at the moment. DH comes home tomorrow morning for 2 days...thank goodness, because I have only seen him one night in 2 weeks so I am getting a bit fed up I feel crappy and want to share it with him...poor thing, no wonder he never comes home

Decided to get busy today as busyness enables me to forget about my crappy/tearful/emotional mindset...
Well not so fast... I completed all of my boring chores (I am afterall a professional housewife...honest to God that is what is written on my visa here...a far cry from my previous career path in Geneva!) and decided to go to the mall to purchase some insecticide (my poor balcony plants have whiteflies!). In Dubai, going to the shopping mall is basically one of the only activities here in the summer so you can imagine the hords....
It's the weirdest thing...I have never felt SO alone surrounded by so many bodies... I felt like I was suffocating, particularly as there were babies everywhere...all different shapes, sizes, colours... but a baby epidemic none the less! ARGH! It's the first time that I am actually thinking, "what if we never have kids?"....how am I going to cope.. how can I switch off all that longing, those emotions... how can I avoid becoming a bitter and cynical person....I think I will undertake a labotomy if infertility means no kids...

End of vent

Walshy... great to have you back.... yes, I will definitely be cycling with you in August (although there are no absolutes in life!). Way to go with the acupuncture....I think I will try that in November if FET fails. Quick question: have the docs given you any idea when your AF is supposed to turn up or are you simply waiting? I will definitely chat with you about Grey's.... it's wonderful...yummy, yummy, yummy...I have got my mother hooked on it too She likes McDreamy

Okay ... love to all my Octopals....off to try and save plants from plague of whiteflies...argh... I have to wipe every leaf of every plant... pff you would think they would have come up with a more efficient technology for pesticides in this era!!! At least it gives me something to do

Hugs,

Little R

Hi girls

Little R - I'm so sorry you've been feeling so down, you must get so lonely. Don't you fancy getting a little part-time job?
Finally the evil AF witch has appeared, isn't it typical it's a day late . Keep your chin up at least you've only got a month to go, i'm on 4 months WE WILL GET THERE. Don't even begin to think of the "what if it doesn't happen", that trail of thought is just too difficult for us gals and should not be thought of at ANY TIME. IT WILL WORK

Walshy - It's good to hear from you. Brilliant about the acup, i tried it all the way through my last cycle and felt calmer and more relaxed. Hopefully it will do wonders for you, not long until Aug, lucky thing.

Hope everyone else is ok, where are you all?

Mini - Well it's on the way to Scotland from Oxford and we will able to pick it up on Friday at 3pm can't wait.

House - So our flat is defo sold and we managed to get the girl to agree to the date of entry a month later than she wanted as we need time to find a house. So we officially move out on the 15th Sep.

Hospital - Called them again but there is no cancellation date so far. Have to call back next week but given there is only one other day for op's before mine i'm not holding out for much. Just my luck
So my dates are

Operation - Aug 16th
Move house - Sep 15th
IVF - Big 3 - Nov ??

Hopefully we will then get a BFP and i will be able to add another date to the end of the list

Our computer has a mini virus on it. We are taking it to get fixed so might not be around for a few days. What will i do without you gorgeous girls, won't be far away though and will be thinking of you.

Have a good one

Love Jen x

[camilla]

Hi,

Can't keep away, but when I sit down I find my eyes drawn the to laptop and think to myself well I'll just have a little peek!

Little R - Oh I know, how frustrating that this time the evil witch decided to be late. Someone out there must have a grand master plan and everything will surely fall into place. I get to do exciting things too, like this morning I went to the supermarket! oh joy! Let's just hope my DH likes my culinary choices this week! Enjoy the time with your DH and have a drink or too, it can do no harm.

Jen - See, life is OK. Hope you still leave time for a chat when your mini marvel arrives.

Everything will be alright. That is today's mantra.

Walshy, Lola and Steph must be busy bunnies!

Lots of love

Camilla xxxxx

[camilla]
