Carolyn,

Well ive just finished watching the X-Factor - WOW! How brill was that - Ben got my vote as i always said he would. There is A LOT of talent on this time (not that there wasnt last time) but its gonna be hard voting every week. I liked Eaton Road, and i liked the all the ladies singing - but im afraid my vote is going to be with Ben every week - he's got summit different - i just rang 2 vote for him and said to DH - OOooo its him on the line, he spoke to me haha! Shame its a recording in it lol....

Im really hungry tonight guys :shock:

LauraLou... Image im so sorry for your loss i know nothing i can say will make it better but im here if you need me...you had so much sense to make the appointment, i hope that IUI is your answer maybe with less drugs and a more natural experience for your body is all you need to make the break and you will have all of us to support you through the next few months many prayers and hugs for you and DH...

Carolyn i know it looks great doesnt it i know ive lost more i got up today post short AF (my drugs leaving system AF) and my belly was almost flat its been over a year now since i had a flat belly...LOL but it really is mostly down to stopping the meds they kill me weight wise it says in small print weight gain has been reported but a couple of days after starting Lupron i look like a really annoyed puffer fish and just blow right up ...thankfully i have time to get small before my next go....wishing you well hows your diet going?.....i had a bad day really naughty i should say i had chinese food so i will be extra strict tomorrow....

love to all...Aunty

Hi Guys

Sorry I haven't been on for a while - been really busy! I took my niece and nephews to the zoo yesterday - it was brilliant - very tiring tho!!!!

Ems - good luck for your follow up 2moro - i'll be thinking of you! Hope u had fun out on the wine last nite...feeling a bit worse for wear 2day???

Becky - what decisions u have 2 make after ur follow-up - mine was nithing like urs....he just told us we were unlucky - good job i'm changing clinic hey!!! urs sound really good!
... Have either of u had any sign of AF yet? I should be due on any day now but it just doesn't feel like shes about 2 arrive!!

I have my consultation at my new clinic on weds so i'm really excited about that. i'm also a bit nervous 2 tho coz i have to have a v ultrasound (which i didn't b4 tmt at my last clinic) but...i get really nervous that the IVF will have caused me some probs in there!! Hopefully its just me being paranoid!

Nimble...glad to see everything is going well with u!! R u getting a bump yet?

Aunty...U r so positive, after eveything u have been though u still keep this place running moothly and never give up - ur an inspiration to us!!!

Well, must pop...love 2 every1 else

Becky - I loved the X Factor last night. If it is this exciting in week 1 then I will be wetting myself by the final. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Was thinking of you as watched Ben as you said he was your fav. Little Raymond is cute but agree that he may not have the best voice. Thought most of Simon and Sharon's did really well - groups were disappointing and I had The Unconventionals as my tip to go! Was surprised that Dionne was in the bottom two but guess that it is mainly ladies watching who I guess are more likely to vote for the guys. No voting for me yet. Shall save my votes until nearer the end!!!! Gives us something to look forward to on every Saturday night.

Laura - Welcome hun - We must have been posting at the same time as your post was not there yesterday when I was writing but then your note is before mine - strange??? We can both be here and still be April-May 05 buddies too. I have said everything there for you so will not repeat again. You know what I feel. I felt that this thread would be good to look forward on and I hope that it will do the same for you too. So hope that iuis are going to be the answer for you & dh

Aunty - Flat tummy hey. I don't think that I have ever had one of those. :wink: Tummy not my best attribute by a long way. Drugs made me blow up quite badly and add lbs. But it was the tubal surgery that I had was that really killed it. He had to go through all the layers in my tummy and he said that it would really weaken the muscles. That was on the basis that there were any muscles there in the first place. Op was now 2 months ago. He told me to walk lots and climb lots of steps. It has done some good but not much. Have been on the booze for almost 5 months. Thought that would help but guess that I get bored of eating healthily and then start creeping into old habits - especially chocolate :wink: Hope that you enjoyed the Chinese - at least if you really enjoy it then it makes it seem worthwhile being bad :roll:

Ems - Good Luck for you follow up tomorrow. Hope that they have some answers for you

Vickie - Hope that appointment on Wed goes really well for you and that you feel better with your new clinic

Anyway AF pretty much here for me now. Main event would seem to be on track for tomorrow which is Day 31 for me. Seeing consultant on Day 16 and in la la land of hoping that he might let me start on Day 21. I was a Day 2 last time and afraid if I am that protocol and long cycle that I might now have time pre-Xmas. AARRRRGGGG. Will have to wait and see what he says.

Enjoy the end of the weekend everyone and hope that Monday is not too bad for all.

Lots of Love
Carolyn xxx

Love to everyone else.

lauralou - i'm so sorry to hear your news. my prayers and thoughts are with you and your DH.

Becky/carolyn, i missed x factor last night as friends round for dinner but did manage to see the repeat of the results - was susprised to see that girl come in last 2 but did have to agree with that group going. i agree with you that ben is a real winner. don't think much of the mcdonald bros either that didn't seem to be that good on the clip i saw.

Vickie, can't believe your appt has arrived so quickly - I really hope that it goes well and your scan will be fine. I had a scan before I started just routine. i will be thinking of you. No bump as yet for me, just growing bb's :shock: !

Aunty - uuumm chinese lovely - i always thought chinese was ok!! perhaps thats where I have been going wrong all these years!!

good luck too Ems with your appt tomorrow.

Hope AF arrives for those who are waiting upon her - naught AF :evil:

Hi Everyone
Thanks so much for your good luck wishes for our follow up tomorrow. Not really sure what to expect.
Had a great night out last night with DH. Went to a new wine bar thats just opened in our town. It was really nice. Had a great time. No hangover this morning - I was very careful not to overdo it!
Will keep you posted how we get on tomorrow.
Thanks again girls.

Hi ladies i've only been away 2 nights and have so much reading to catch up on . Haylie i have always found everyone at caru really great but i know that their % arent great but the cromwell in cardiff is 45% so if the FET doesnt work (hopefully it will) i will think of changing clinics i had my go on the nhs in march which was a bfn and we had no frosties so we paid for this go this time we got 2 frosties and this time we got a BFP which i lost so 3rd time lucky for us ,both of these times they told us to phone back to arrange follow ups the first 1 we waited for weeks but this time i had 1 in less than a week so pretty good .You have so much to look forward to in the next couple of weeks which does help take your mind of things I to am 30 soon and have not decided wheather to have a party or not or go away for the weekend .Becky i havent been in wales this weekend we have been down the caravan in somerset which the weather was nice and it was good to get away for a couple of days and i ate loads of rubbish so bang goes all the good eating last week will start again tomorrow .must go now and get stuff ready for work and have a shower will catch up tomorrow hugs to you all

Hi Ladies

Ems: Wishing u loads of luck tomorro hun xxxxx, i hope everything goes well for u, will be thinking of u, let us know as soon as u can how it went ok - good luck :D

Well ladies, I have been a bit naughty on my diet - last night i ate a pkt of crisps, had 2 glasses of wine, a breakfast bar - and a ham and dairylea sandwich :oops: now i know that AF is deff on her way, cos i always end up eating the house dry when she's due. But i have been extra carefull today, so hopefully it wont show too badley on the scales on Tuesday. I really need to lose this weight ...

Also, i think i may have got myself a full time job :D I went for the interview on Friday and things went really well, i will find out by Friday if i have it or not. I hope i have, it pays more per hour than my part time one, and by working full time, not only will i be earning more, i will be saving too - cos i wont have time to go out and spend it haha!

Hope everyone is doing well and that PMA is bursting, im shattered, just done a load of ironing (spit) so am now going to retire to bed b4 i eat anything else lol.

Night Night ....

Hello Ladies,

Hope you all had good weekends. I'm still full of PMA and fully receovered after my nasty little op now. Even found out today that the insurance co may cover a bit more of the dr's fees for it - gotta be good!

Aunty - please can you update your fab list - 28th Oct - next appmt with doc to discuss FET process - yippee!

Laura Lou - I am sorry to hear your news - welcome to this thread. We will look after you.

To all the girls talking about X-factor, wish I could join in! Here we have Oz Idol - which I am tragically addicted to.

And to all the girls dieting - good luck, I am very impressed about all the flat stomach talk - unknown for me! Now I am off to buy choccie!

Bye for now.

Hi Ladies,

Do you mind if I join this great thread. Im hoping to start a fresh cycle in mid Jan, depending if the new clinic can fit us. I want to start in Jan as im hoping for a new year new start....

I have already had 2 BFN!!!!! which has taken me a while to adapt to things, hence the reason I have been away for almost 6 months. i have really missed this forum too.

Again hope you all don't mind me joining.

Loads of love
