Well hello girls!!!!

Sorry for absence, have been busy and have had to prioritise and unfortunately logging on wasn't at top of list! (no reflection on how I feel about you lovely girls though!).

Firstly have just seen wonderful news from Walshy!!!!! So exciting and am so happy for you darling. Well done.

I know this is a bit lazy but as I haven't read through posts since I last wrote (about a month ago) could you all just let me have an update on your situations, goings on etc. Would be very much appreciated.

Annabel is a good girl and I have had an overload of pink! I am looking forward to buying clothes in other colours! She is asleep and due to wake for a feed so am grabbing this moment to write. She is a good feeder and has taken to breastfeeding brilliantly. She has been pretty good at night and (touch wood) only wakes once in the night and I can generally feed her and put her down quickly. She is such a greedy girl that she feeds in about 10 - 15 mins so I'm not sitting feeding for ages.

I shall come back tomorrow hopefully and catch up so don't forget to jot your news down.

Lots of love and once again well done Walshy.

Hola dudes

Walshy my darlin' it is nothing but worry!!! But listen, don't panic about numbers - after a year on this site we all know it means nil. As for other bad luck scenarios - I reckon we've had all the bad luck that could be thrown at a thread. Karma merry-go-round will protect you!!!! I am still o'er the moon for you sweetie!!!

Stephanwych and her biggin up bump, stop cartwheeling and rest up! Happy for your friend - maybe the tide is a-turning, blinking hope so!

Littles - are you back today? How was holiday??? Hope you are rested and calm and destressed and happy. You deserve it my lovely girl. Can you believe Walsheroos news??? This is the start of good times on this thread - whether they be baby related or not. Let us know how you are and what you're up to beaut.

Camilla - finally!! Glad all is well with little Annabel and she's sleeping - joy! My news-in-brief is nil really, had my operation (salpingectomy) 2 weeks ago, all well, now tubeless. I can start next ivf in month or so.

Jemla!!!! Where are you????? It is simply outrageous that you are not here to share The Walshes buenas noticias! We have to be next - a tandem BFP - GET IN TOUCH!!! Or else........

Well sunshines, I had a top weekend. Went to Wales to visit my folks. Was lovely! I'm knacked though, for some reason have forgotten how to sleep. Also, in late breaking news from Hypochondria-ville, I have found lump on neck. Think it is lymph node and am currently in process of convincing myself that its cancer. I have that head on at the moment - y'know? Something is bound to go wrong with my body to prevent me having next (successful) cycle of ivf. Paranoia - there must be a drug for it, right? Oh yes, alcohol.
Anyhoo lasses, I'm off to fondle my node. Eh! careful....

Love like a truck - varooom

Mornin Sunshines!

Ok, so where the honkey is everyone?

I was in the field yesterday, so that is my excuse! on important stream mission..... blue wig securely back in bag! Hey.. yu gals never mentioned.. did you see the final show of Alias yet?

Walsher-ooo-ny... whats the haps? more bloodwork on Friday right? I have no worries luv as it will be tops. sky high pregger numbers! When do you start having scans?.........anything else new and exciting in WalshLand?? Are you telling people outside of this cyber world?

Looler-lu-ly... hmm... mass on neck has decided to overtake brain and you are unable to think let alone type? .... I think it will be a good idea if you spend the rest of your time before cycling in the magi-bubble. Go on, have a look. I have provided you with a never ending supply of fluffer nutter sandwiches! and lots of drink too! enjoy the drink now as soon you will not be allowed... so a little visit with the parental units heh... my mom lives 3 miles from my house... it is nice to pop around for a mommy/daddy spoil me fix. However, It is also nice that my parents never just pop by my house even though we are so close.. hubby would not appreciate! hmmm.. will it change when Faith is here?? I'll keep you posted.

Jen- hmmm.. i think my new plan is to ignore you in hopes that it will bring you back... we have tried everything else.. tears, pleas, begging, demands... what else can we do?

Littles- should be returning and loggin on any minute now... I am holding my breath in anticipation.. give us the goods on your Vay-kay! still holding my breath....

Camilla- your babes sounds lovely! eating, check! sleeping, check! pooping, check!.. as for me and whats going on.. nothin much to report here. I believe you already know that i am having a girl.. Faith Caroline. Otherwise, just hanging out.. waiting, waiting, waiting.

Well, Greys is back in my life... sigh of goodness! I luv tv. I think now that I don't have the energy for exercising anymore I will make being a couch potato my new favorite hobby for the next 3 months...

lazin away,
steph

Afternoon all

Lola and Steph, thanks for your updates.

Lola - Nothing can stop you now, you sound v up-beat. Looking forward to supporting you on your forthcoming cycle. Make the most of your vino drinking days!

Steph - Enjoy your bump, you'll be meeting your baby girl soon enough.

It's good to be back! I must be getting into a routine if I've got time to write! However have to go right now, sorry.

Love camilla xxxxx

[lolajones]

Buenos.

Steph I think thats a top idea - lets send Jemla a tough love message. Jen? Jen who? Alias - no! Never saw the last episode but remember you saying something about Syd n Vaughn being a deux on a beach with 2 kids. Is good idea about magi-bubble, I can use it as a treadmill too to work my ass. Want to get in shape before I get out of shape during my imminent pregnancy (trying walsheroos positivity thing - it worked for girlfriend!). So. Exactly how fat are you? When will you finish work?

Cam - busy mum! Thanks for cheering offer - will you be wearing Stephs de rigeur spanky pants? I hope so. How long are you going to breastfeed for?

Littles - donde estas chica? Tell us about Safari!!!!

Walsher - well??? we want more news please pronto pronto!!!

J word..... humph!

Well, as per, I am totally exhausted. me n dh so tired this morning after breakfast we went back to bed for sneaky 40 winks and went to work late. Made me feel naughty for the rest of the day. More sleep, chant chant chant!
I'm going to organise some acupuncture - it worked for La Walsh! Going to start gearing up for cycle 3. Those last drops of vino.....
Just want to get going now!

Anyhoo, off to bed land
Take it easy ladies

Hello ladies,

I am liking Ms Lolas positive attitude. I so enjoyed accupuncture for my cycle. It was nice to go there and relax for an hour thinking happy thoughts. This cycle was so different for me then the last one. No bloatiness, not much pain better quality eggs and I didn't put on any weight I actually lost some during the cycle so go figure. I am certain that cylce number 3 is the one for you, Jen and Littles. I am crossing everything for you, maybe AF will come early and suprise you so you can start early.

Steph you seriously can't have 3 months to go OMG!!! Your pregnancy has gone so quickly and it is down hill from here. My dh appreciated your comments about worrying the whole way through as he told me see those girls know what they are talking about so I need to relax a bit (I have used all my zen for the 2WW. He appreciates you ladies from this site as you all keep me sane. We have told our immediate family as they have known about us doing fertility for a while and about 3 close friends who came along for the ride. They are all so happy that I have had to tell them to not buy anything or tell anyone just yet we will wait for the 12 week mark OK maybe 10 if we cant hold out. Everytime I see someone that doesn't know I want to tell them. This will be the first grandchild on my side so my parents are ecstatic I think my mum and dad won't let me buy anything.

Camilla it is nice to have you back around these parts of the woods. So tell us is motherhood everything that it is cracked up to be?

Welcome back Littles if your reading this and yes it worked this time! I am hoping that you got pregnant while on holiday aka Steph style. I hope you had a great holiday...

Maybe we need to wish Jen back or does anyone have her email and demand she get back here....

Nothing much to report but I am still pregnant I go for more bloods on Friday and am hoping that they reveal that my levels are through the roof. I peed on a stick hoping to get the big fat double line but still one faint line very disappointed. I really wanted those big fat lines like everyone else gets. I don't feel pregnant at all no sore boobs, feeling sick or anything so that is why I keep thinking that it is not all real. I will get comfirmation again tomorrow which is good and then I am not sure when my first scan is to see how many are there. I think only one took because of the levels but you never know.

Will post soon take it easy lovely ladies, Walshy

HONEY I'M HOME

OH MY GOD WALSHY-- IM SO EXCITED AND HAPPY FOR YOU
I had a little cry and feel so pleased but also so bad for not being around for you. Its just brilliant news, i desperately hope the rest of us follow you to a BFP.

Well where do i start. The house if fab and i have been missing you guys loads. We had hassle with the computer so it got fixed but then had probs with BT and couldn't get logged on to the internet. So finally after a lifetime they delivered the box today and my dh has been getting his head nipped to set it up, which he did so i can chat to you guys.
It has been so frustrating as i knew i was missing supporting you all and feel awful about that. I have been thinking of you daily and couldnt wait to hear all your news. Its strange that we have never met but i felt quite sad and lonely not being able to chat to you all--weird eh.

Loopy, Sorry i wasnt around for your op but it looks like you coped without me. Dont worry about the tears thing, i was crying before and after the op, they must have thought i was a mad woman. Sorry i was lost in action, you must relax now, you know it doesnt help with this ivf lark if you are stressed.

I will defo log on tomorrow and try to catch up with all your news.

Good news from sunny Scotland is that my medi is through and i start the Big 3 on Sunday 1st Oct, aaaarrrhhhhh only 2 days to go. Cant believe it has come round so quick and i dont have to wait 3 months after my op only 2.
Let hope it true what they say, new house new home eh.

Will write to you individually tomorrow

Loads of hugs to you all

Jen xxx

[Jen1d]

I dont know, i come back and there's noone to play with

Catch up with you all tonight i hope

Hoo-RAY!!!!! jens is back!! Welcome back sunshine!

That was a really long computer fix... I am glad that house is lovely.. and it is true... new car, new house, new baby... not just an old wives tale... as a matter of fact i think I saw it on the Discovery Chanel the other day on that show Mythbusters. Where they test all those crazy theories, but that one proved true everytime! its fate luvah bean.... I can see the stork off in the distance from your house!

Loolers-la-la... am totally diggin the zen-ness that is you.... sleepin in, feelin naughty, going to the needles.. whats next yoga and headstands? Let go, let flow.. So, how fat am I? I am so fat that I stepped on the scale the other day and it turned into a magic eight ball and said... no answer now, try again later..... he, he. Of course I am nothing compared to waht I will be in a couple of months.. but feeling huge all the same. I had worlds biggest panties on yesterday.. you can't even call them panties, they were more like a giant sail that you can see from the moon. When I suit up to cheer you girls on my cheer skirt will have to be ankle length just to cover up the panties.... And I look GOOOOOD!

Walshy... don't hold back on us now... blood today? can't wait to hear about sky high top numbers!

Well, Greys was on last night and I am still drooling! Oh I wish you chicks were watching with me.... the last ten seconds was the best.. it included a very naked, very hot guy... with a twist and a laugh. such a good show.!!!!
Anyone have exciting weekend plans.. I somehow got roped by my sister into have people over for dinner tommorrow.. easy for her she doesn't have to do any work! so tonight will be cleaning, shopping and baking... oh goody!

Take it easy cheesys
Steph

[lolajones]

Jen! You are back all is forgiven!!!

Glad that house is sorted and you are 'putered up. Is such top news about Walsher! It heralds the turn of tide for us remaining lovely ladies. Can't believe you're starting so soon!!! The Big 3 - woo and a hoooooooo!!! I will be 4 weeks behind you doing my FET....come on!!! We are going to do it this time!!!! Its our turn!!!

Walsheroo - what were your numbers doll? Are they so high that you've had to have a sit down and weren't able to post?? Please check in or we worry.

Stephylarge pants - no matter how large the pant I bet you still look hot stuff. I also wish we were up to speed on Greys, could do with some warm n fuzzy tv. I'm in a warm n fuzzy mood now the weather is getting autumnal. Enjoy your weekend and don't kitchen slave too hard - just get some boil-in-the-bag stuff.

Littles - I aint going to mention as the tough love worked at getting Jemla back, maybe it'll work for our R?

So, I've got acu all set up for next week and I'm going supplement (I don't believe in them but chuck a bit of money at the project) shopping later - probiotics, I say yes to your yogurty goodness. May also do NLP (desperate much?) and become Buffyesque in my hard as nailsness. I reckon (if miss af plays the game) I'll be starting on 31st October. Seems ages away but good - I have time to lunge n squat until you can bounce coins off my ass. And also coffee n wine up a few litres. Hoorah!

OK then my princesses of light, I'm off to do some more work, pffftttt.

Hi Gang

Well hve decided not to try and read through all the posts, being very lazy. Will just start fresh from today.

Loops - Only a few weeks to go for you now, hope this removal of the tuberoos from hell will now bring us brilliant news. How you feeling after the op. my bell button cleared up really quickly and the tiny scar on the left side but the one on my bikini line is still scabbing over (sorry bit minging). How did you feel emotionally? Even though i knew i couldn't get preggers naturally i still felt a sort of bereavement for my tubes and so sad it would be ivf or nothing. Don't you just wish you could have a few vinos like everyone else then get the surprise of finding out your preggers---i dream of this, but its not to be. Just have to dream of the dreaded 2ww and the anxiety and tears instead

Steph - How you doing gal? Bet that bump is growing at a great speeed now and i bet your still skinny Are you still keeping up with your exercises? Although your pregnant and passed the worrying stage i bet it must still a worry until you pop, i dont think i could handle the stress. Will have to take up meditation classes or apply tonnes of Emla and they can knock me out for the 9 months.

Walshy - Still in shock about your news. Did you do anything different this time from the last to get your bfp? Any tips for my Big 3? We demand you wake up and let us know how you got on today i would never disappear for so long haha.

Littles - Have you been missing in action too? Hope your ok and enjoying your time away from this mad world of infertility. I just like to think that you are away with your dh in some exotic country, lazing on the beach sipping some yummy cocktail.

Camilla - So hows life with nappies up to your elbows? Is little Annabel a good girl? You must feel so complete now, do you?

Feeling a bit anxious about starting my cycle. Its the very last week that i'm dreading as i'm just so scared this cycle wont work too. I know i have to be positive but its hard. WILL THIS EVERY WORK

Ok off to my bed, big day tomorrow, my sofa is finally being delivered. After a month of sitting on deck chairs we can't wait.

Love Jen x

Hello Ladies,

Sorry Sorry I was meaning to post yesterday and I even had the site open got sidetracked and then fell asleep on the lounge so I didn't get around to it....

Well my bloods are 650. I asked the nurse if that was a low number and she said no it is fine it is doubling and that is all we want. She said some ladies have really high numbers and then it doesn't stick so just keep thinking positive....It has made me less stressed about it and I am now taking the approach what will be will be......My first scan is booked in for the 11 October so I will hold my breath until then I am certain it is only one but who knows. My knockers have got lots of veins in them and I am feeling a bit nauseas lately so maybe who knows this may be it....Oh by the way thes pesseries suck...

Jen it is so gald to have you back. We were ready to send out a search party we were getting worried that you were having to much fun shagging in everyroom of your house and forgot about us. Yay for you starting. I did everything different this cycle. Accupuncture, ate only fresh fruit and vegetables with fresh meat or fish and really thought extra positive. If a negative thought would pop in my head then I would be aware of it acknowledge it and then switch it to a positive thought of them snuggling in (I was in ZEN mode). Also when they did the transfer the accupuncturist stuck 4 ball bearings in my ear to rub if I got stressed she also gave me an anti miscarriage formula (YUK) that i have to drink 2 a day. Last time I just went with the flow. Also I will let you in on little secret I haven't shared before me and DH BD during the 2 weeks. We thought stuff it we are not going to put our lives on hold anymore and fertile couples would be doing it so maybe that was the trick...

Lola not long now I think you will love accupuncture. Also a FET is so much easier than a full cycle you will breeze it in (well I thought anyway). Have you decided how many your putting back in? We need someone with twins on here who will it be? Maybe you Jen and Littles can have twins.

Steph in the land of large panties..... Me is laughing at you I went onto Google Earth to see if I could see where abouts you were by your large panties but couldn't find you maybe you had taken them off by then. Good luck with your dinner party.

Ms Littles welcome back........How was your trip log on and let us know..

We have a three day weekend this weekend so I will be lazying around not doing much maybe head down to the beach if it is not to hot. Have a great weekend ladies and I will talk to you soon, Walshy

[Jen1d]

:lol:Hi

Walshy - Great news about your bloods. Its all going to be fine, easy to say but try and relax and enjoy this special moment.
Shagging in every room huh don't have time for that, still trying to unpack boxes. However the good news is we are now deck chair free and got our sofa yesterday. The bad news is the 2seater will have to go back though as there is a slight cut in the leather we've had probs with everything need some luck around here.

Well i started my syranel today, starting to get to much like routine now, just hoping this will be the last time. Getting worried about the last week already, i hate the worrying about going to the tiolet bit and the feeling that the dreaded witch will arrive---god how i wish this was all a bad dream. Anyway positive thoughts all the way. I will be getting acu again and am trying to eat ok plus have given up my Starbucks Have decided when i think anything neg then i'm going to remind myself that this cycle is different as my tubes are gone and this might help with a bfp since there is no horrid fluid there now.

Ok will catch up later. Hoping your all ok especially Littles, come back babe we miss you
