MISSED YA ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by jen babes »

Hey Pheonixes....

I have missed ya all........the move went well,. And although we are still sifting through boxes i love this cute little house :D It's great to be here with Adam full time although the B***er has been working late the last week to fit in with deadlines. We eventually managed after a week to set up the broadband. I changed my e-mail adress on the profile and the system now won't let me back in!!!! I have had to re-register and couldnt use same email so now have used Adam email address...confused i am...how do i fix this?

Nicki i think you had the same problem at one point too? By the way hope you have a good week off. recharge the batteries of good old PMA!

Julie -tis a bummer that they won't give you results over the phone! It just causes more worry and stress doesn't it. Let me know how it goes, though it's a long Bl**dy wait. (sorry about the swearing here it's taken me 2hrs and 45 mins to get on this site, and i can feel your frustration at having to wait so long too!)


Lucy hope the kidney stuff is soted out. the alternative therapy people (as well as Zita) all say that kidneys are linked to getting pregnant. So it's good to get the all clear before starting stims. Good luck for that. What age will you be on your birthday? I hope this is the year that you become a MUM :wink: PMA girl PMA

Hi MLG good to heear that you and BUMP are doing well!


Kate how is the tmt going? Where are you at now?


Lisa and Gail how are you two doing ???

Hi to anyone i have missed...( memory totally is shot at the moment)

An update on my tmt is that i waited 2 hrs after my appointment time to be seen by the consultant on the Frid 21st Sep... i was in EXACTLY 3 MINUTES to be told i have no Funding. WHAY OH WHY couldn't they have bL***dy told me that on the phone...Oh dear i am swearing again sorry gals but i am Fecked off here) I was then told to go private at the same clinic i would need to phone a differant office. ( which was closed for 4 days due to holidays) I did call this number on the tues and was told to get an appointment i would need to go through the info pack 1st! i asked for one and Lord oh Mighty were they notne available at the moment and i would need to wait. I did just yesterday receive a pack which i dutifully read and phed for an appointment...wait for it ....21st of NOVEMBER... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Why oh Why ( again) did they NOT tell me on the last cycle ( end of MAY) that i had NO funding left and I could have seen someone when i was still in Glasgow and started tmt NOW! OKay RANT over....well not really cause if appointment goes okay and i get another chance at IVF ( i don't see why not at this point) it will be DEC. And i know that this particular clinic does NOT open over christmasd so like you KAte i think i will be starting tmt in JANUARY 2007. Which i supoose aint too far away but i wanted to start now so if i didn't get preggy i could loose the stimming pounds before i get married in March.

Anyway Ce la vie... i just gotta go with the flow eh!



The good news is we went on Saturday to see our pup....he is a Rhodiesian ridgeback and you can see him on www.nurisha.com....click on the red wrinting in the middle page scroll down and look at the lovely mum dad and pups. when you get to the 2wks stage the pups are all got names. We love little YOLI...lets hope he chooses us too! if so he will be ready on the 4th November...something to look forward to!

ANYWAY GALS me my RANTing and SWEARing are now off for a mega lunch... catch ya later

love jen

Hi Phoenixes

Hope all of you are feeling fine.

Jen - These people don't seem to know or care how we feel, that our emotions are shot and that any wasted time hurts SO much! :( :? :cry: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Me and bump are well, in fact pregnancy has been quite good so far.
Now I'm starting to feel much more tired. So much so that I'm begining to believe that I might not stay at work till December.
Bump is a real ballerina, always mooving about and kicking. And she is already head down ready to come out! But she'll have to wait a while, it's much too early.

Hi girls, thought i'd just post this message before i take time out....I need to it'll help us get BFP i hope!!

Anyway just returned frm hols lovely and refreshed, ready to start IUI when Af comes on 14th Oct, but whilst we were away had chats with DH and i feel that i spend too much time logging on just to hear everyones BFP or BfN news then i dwell on it all night sad if its BFN and feeling like theres no bloody hope and jealous as hell if its BFP....It's doing my head in, so after chatting with Dh i am going to take time out, obviously this doesnt mean i will forget ya all, you have all been rocks to me, but i hope u understand why i have to do this, i am sure i'll be back but for the time being bear with me.

Like i say IUI in Oct then Nov and Dec so hopefully when i do come back it'll be good news!!

Love to you all, and best of luck for allyour tmt's!

TTC 6yrs......Have jumped off the rollercoaster for now, too many BFN's and too much heartache, to keep going....Moving on to fulfil other dreams!!!

Hi Phoenixes

Nicki I totally understand what you mean about needing some time out. This is why I haven't been on the board much, I've just been trying to get on with other stuff, rather than my life just been about fertility, very hard though cos this is my life and will be until I get my baby. I wish you loads of luck with your iui's. I hope next time you post on here you'll be telling us you are very proudly pregnant. Take Care Sweetie.

Jen - I'm glad to hear you're all settled in your new house, must feel great to be back under the same roof as Adam all the time. So your starting tmt in Jan, well new year, new start and all that. This will be your time I just know it. How are you in your self, hope you're feeling OK.?

-Julie Glad you had a nice time in Wales with DH. How is everything with you? Are you still waiting for consultation, when do you start tmt.?

MLG - Nice to hear from you, hope you and baby are doing just great.? You take Care.

Kate - How are you hun.?

Gail - How are you and little baby doing? Hope you're both just fine.

As for me, well it’s my birthday tomorrow, I'll be 26. I start my stims tomorrow, I keep thinking its a good luck sign starting on my birthday. The kidney situation turned out to be 2 small stones sat high up in the kidney, they didn't want to shatter them so they have put me on very low dose of anti-biotics, I have to stay on these throughout my tmt and If I get a positive, stay on them right through pregnancy. I wasn't sure of this at first and kept thinking I should postpone my tmt, but then I thought sod it, I'm doing it, docs wouldn't put me on them if they were going to jepordise my tmt, I confirmed this with my IVF consultant and he said given my past history with kidney stones and miscarriage he thinks this is a good idea as it will fight any infection I may get. So I'll be on stims roughly 12 days, I have worked out my test date should be 6th Nov. I'll add that to the list.

I'll be loggin on more now, just wanted a little break, plus had a lot going on at home too. I am feeling very stressed at min and I keep thinking I aren't giving myself the best chance but I can't help it, I have a lot of stuff going on at min. Anyway I am going to try my best to keep calm and relax as much as possible.

Take Care everyone and the best of luck with forthcoming treatments.

Love Lucy

Hi Phoenix Ladies

Nikki - Of course we understand. Most of us have periods when we need to be away from all this, I certainly did! Image

Jen – It is great to have you back and so positive. Keep it up.
Image

Lucy – Hope things work out well for you. Image

Julie – Don’t they keep tabs of what they do and whom they contact? Incredible!! :evil: :shock: :x

Hi all you lovely ladies! Have just spent a half hour reading what you have all been up to. Its now been 5-6 weeks since I've logged on. Like Nicki I've really needed time out from the boards. Since I spoke to you all last I've had another BFN :( taking the total to 3 now. I have next IUI 2mro :D as I am cycling every month :roll:

I have to sat I am finding this cycling every month real TOUGH . :oops: ... I haven't been on here beacuse I was starting to feel worse (just exactly the same as Nicky said in her previous message) and too pre occupied, starting to worry if that was starting to affect my chances. I have had a very stressful and bad month with too many horrible things going on in my life right now.

Dh's dad has been taken into a nursing home and is now living there permanently because of his deteriorating health. His mum is still living at home as she is a fit 62 yr old but she could no longer care for him as he can't walk now and needs 2 people to get him dressed and washed etc .... very sad as he is only 70. The whole family is finding it very tough.

I've also had a really bad month at work with lots of horrible stuff going on with staff that I manage. .... not the best run up to last months tmt but I've just had 12 days off with dh to chill which was much needed.

Dh and I are also going on some real downers trying to cope with his infertility. As you know we are using donor as dh has and never will produce any sperm, even the biopsy didn't find any and that is still hitting us really hard sometimes :cry: so all in all I haven't been feeling great. It will be a year on halloween since we learnt he was azoospermic.

So I'm afraid I am going to do what Nicky is doing and stay away for a while. :( I love ya all and WILL DEFINITELY be back at some point. MLG and Gail have a fab time being pg - MLG I will def be logging on to see what you have. :D Jen - good luck with everything honey. Lucy all the best for this tmt - I will log on to see how you do. Julie doll, hope you get started really soon, your patience is an inspiration to us all.

Big hi to everyone else.

Thanks for all your support. Speak to you all soon xxxx

Hi Pheonixes...

julie thanks for the welcome back...sounds like you are busy but in fine fettle. When is your next appointment is it the end october some time? wanna add it to the list ? take care of busy you and we will catch up with ya soon.

Lucy- how'as the stimming time going? when is your next scan? sending follie dust your way Honey! hugs how are you coping in yourself ? and boyfrind okay?

Lisa- Oh Hooney my heart goes out to you...tyou are going through a tough time with all these emotions and doing back to back Diui never mind seeing your dad and Mum go through a tough time. You must be emotionally drained. what can you do about work stuff? can yu not take a sicky for a few weeks to take time out for all these added pressures? Sending you prayers and hugs to you and yours Honey. We will miss ya so much...hope to hear about your BFP in December . Thinking of ya.

Kate...How are you? Hope things are okay Honey ? please let us know how you are doing? X x

Nicki- hugs honey we miss ya.

MLG HOW ARE YA? are ya getting tired now? When is the baby due? For some reason we don't have that on the list? Enjoy your wedding anniversary too Honeyare you both doing anything special?
love x


Gail my other preggy friend how are you doing? when is your next scan date ?
x x


I am away this weekend for a time out with Adam ( he's been a busy boy working full on 2 wks now) so we are going away in the motorhome. I have also been very tired ( doing too much) so am looking forward to going to aviemore. Next weekend we are going to see our puppy. He is 5 wks on sunday and won't be released until 4th November...Am getting so excited! Adam is too! You can see him on www.nurisha.com and clicking on to the middle red writing to see the pups. Soooooooo cute.

I have been okay emotionally but am feeling low hearing that Nicki and Lisa are leaving for a while...I do totally understand as i too have felt totally 'done in' and somewhat overwhelmed with all the stress of ivf etc. The whole procedure is such an emotionally draining experience never mind coping with other life stuff at the same time. I hope we all get through to our BFP some day. It does help to hear about others pregnacies, I am pleased to hear that MLG and Gail are on their way to their bundles of joy. But sometimes it can be so hard to hear and cuts deep. WE ARE SUCH STONG PEOPLE TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN... Take care and i will catch ya all on Monday.

loving hugs to ya all

Hey Pheonixes


julie i had a great weekend thanks...definately did re-charge the batteries. It was sooo good for Adam to get away from work pressures and phone calls too. There is NO signal in Aviemore for mobils due to the high caringorm mountains. :D We went Quad biking yestrerday and although we have done it tons of times before this was a great trek through the forest and we really enjoyed it. the weather was fab too...

How are you? dreams like that are amazing ? I have woken up a few times and felt the presense of a baby still in my arms. It's so real. She is a little baby girl too!



What did you all get up to over the weekend?

Lucy how are stims going? and scans? sending ya follie dust honey

Kate how's you doing?

Loving hugs to ya all...catch ya all later

P.S. here are new updated puppy photos of our little boy, Yoli... on www.nurisha .com
