I wish it was simply a case of my Clinic making me wait, I have had over 3 years off due to also loosing my Dad and setting up my own business and thought we would wait until we were drama free so this cycle would be relaxed and as stress free as possible, I should be so lucky! since booking this in, My DH has ben diagnosed with a neurological disorder, my FIL is currrently having chaemo for a very late diagnosis of cancer, we are moving house and our 18 month old 8 stone dog has had 5 operations totalling the equivallent of 2 IVF cycles!!!! (We love her real bad!) they say we should wait until things calm down, to be honest maybe there are others out there who feel the same but as far as I am concerned we could wait forever and none of us know what is around the corner...life is way too short to put things off...I say go for it, just stay calm though! AND NEVER LET THEM GET YOU DOWN... :lol: :lol:

I too have trouble keeping up with whos doing what! so all those on meds I hope the side effects are minimal & all those waiting too start...I hope you start soon, and all goes too plan!!! I hope you dont think im bein rude! just confused with whos who and what you're all doing, I will get the hang of his I am sure... :?

Jeck - Congratulations, 8 snowbabies that is really great, just make sure you take it easy now and I hope your 2ww goes in quickly for you!

Angellica - I don't really know what to say. I am so sorry for all those things you are having to deal with recently! and I wish you, your DH, your FIL and your dog all the best.
I feel the same way as you, I don't think there is ever an ideal time to start the IVF journey and you just have to fit it in with whatever is going on because the outcome will be so worth it!
I am quite interested that you have set up your own business! me and DH have seriously been thinking about it! do you have any advice or suggestions? (like "don't do it" HAHA)
I deffinatly believe that life is too short and I will carry on with this IVF journey untill i get that BFP!!!
Which will hopefully be soon because we are going to have a record number of BFP'S in this thread, I just know it!

We certainly will have a lot of BFP's! thanks for your kind words, my DH and dog will be fine, I wish I could say the same for my FIL, everything happens for a reason though..no matter how sadistic it may seem. I remember when my 2nd IVF failed I was mortified and so fed up wih everything...then a week later was made redundant, then my Dad collapsed and I nursed him for 6 weeks before he died and had a very serious car crash, which left me needing plastic surgery, imagine if IVF had worked it would have been tragic, I would never have been able to have helped my Dad as I did being pgt and I coldn't have lived with that...so I look at as divine timing, now this is the time, little stork wake up!!!

Busness wise, go for it! I have not looked back once...I am obviously not sure what type you are thinkng of but I am certain that being your own boss is the way forward, if it is feasible, I opened up a Training Academy & web store in August '05 and a complementary therapy centre and shop in Dec '05 and I love it! I am very lucky and have had lots of help from some amazing people. It isn't easy but it is so worth it, I am lookin at shop NO. 2 which was so far out of my reach 3 years ago......do a business plan, get your research done and give it your best shot!!

Isn't it great about Jecks 8 snowbabies, WOW I am so pleased! I cant actually get over it, 8!!!! :D :D

Hey Jeck
WOW WOW WOW I am so happy for you. 8 snowbabies that is fantastic. Everything seems to be working out so good for you both, how many days bed rest are you on? I will counting down the days until you get your BFP with you x :D :D

I agree that there is never a perfect time to begin treatment, you just have to be ready within yourself and not think about what is going on around you and get on with it.

Angellica sorry to hear that you have had a hard time but i am sure your dad is with you and there for comfort when you need him. When i feel low i think of my dad and can feel him with me. Needless to say he is around quite alot lately in spirit.

Jovigal, Tonia and Mia here we go. Thinking of you all.

Angellica,
I'm sorry about your father and that you're going through all this stuff. I can tell you are a very strong person. I think you're going to get through everything just fine. We are all here to give you lots of support.

This is nothing compared to what you're going through, but during my last IVF cycle I was hoping to have calm and quiet during my last cycle. We postponed our start date several months til after our wedding and after moving in to our new house. I thought nothing else would be going on. But then right in the middle of our cycle, DH's BF came to visit for a week, he had bought and airline ticket weeks before and it was not refundable. If it we're me I think I'd just forfiet the ticket or stay in a hotel. It's a little intrusive wouldn't you think? Well no he showed up the day before retrieval and left the day after transfer. Didn't help me with a thing, just made noise, a mess and invaded my kitchen table where I like to hang out. The week before that, my little dog came up with a real bad allergy. Her entire face puffed up, her eyes were so swollen that she could barely keep her eyes open. She looked like she lost a boxing match. She was at the vet twice and they wanted to try all this stuf with her and do allergy shots, etc. I said I really thought it was a spider bite or wasp sting. They didn't believe me. So I took her home and treated her myself everyday with herbal and homeopathinc remedies. I treated her 4 to 5 times a day for 2 weeks, all while doing my own appts and shots, etc. The most stressful part about that was worrying about her. Anyway not to go on and on. I agree we should just go for it, life is too short, you never know what life is going to throw at you next. You could try to wait for the perfect moment and it may never come. If you know you want it, go for it.

I know what you mean about loving your dog so much. Aren't those vet bills outrageous! I spent over $1000 for surgery and other medical stuff for our pound puppy before he was 8 months old. He is so worth it though. Your pup is so lucky to have you. I always joke about how spoiled my dogs are and how I wish I had their life. Although I'm pretty close. DH has always looked out for me. I have everything I need and I'm lucky enough that I can stay home while all this goes on. (I am in the process of starting my own photography business. We are setting up a studio in our garage. It's going to be nice to work at home)

Anyway too much about me, my issues are small compared to yours. I wish you, your DH, your FIL and your fur baby to all be healthy and feel well.

Happy Monday Ladies!!

Wow, I feel like I missed a whole lot of stuff over the weekend. Glad to read up and catch up on everybody's updates.

I am so ready to start my cycle, after unsuccessful 1st attempt, it's taken me awhile to recover!! After this weekend, I feel so positive and ready to go!!! :D

We were at my in laws this weekend ( which none of them know what we are doing... just don't want to get their hopes up!!!) Watched my husband play with the nieces and nephews, and got chills down my spine. Tears came to my eyes---he is so good with them!! I PRAY that this time works!!

Sending my best to everyone!!
Keeping the faith!
