Happy Sunday Ladies

Thank you for all the support and words of encouragement ahead of my apppointment this week. Think that the date on the list should read 31st rather than 30th as my appointment is on Tuesday. Not long now......

Aunty - you are so right. Seems ages ago that dh and I agreed that we wanted to try ahead of Xmas if at all possible. Been a long year!!! Normally I can get to see my consultant within about 2 weeks. This time it was nearer a 5 week wait. As you say I cannot believe that it is now only two days to wait. Now I am starting to get nervous as despite the fact that we are paying, it feels like these guys have our lives in their hands. If they don't want us to cycle then there is no other way to make our dreams come true. Hope that you are doing well and that the diet is not too hard for you. It will be so worth it!! Really hope that AF shows for you soon. She is never there when you want her is she :evil:

Becky - Was thinking of you too. IT WAS SO EXCITING. I loved it. Cannot wait for each Saturday to come around. I have no idea what I shall do when it finishes for the year!!!!!!! I watched some on Xtra Factor II afterwards. Would have been so funny to see a text pop up!!!! Loved Ray so got into a bit of voting action for him as he was 1st up and was scared that people would think that he would be safe. Totally agree - Thought that Ben (your fav) was v cool and so was Leona. I have done a little Xmas shopping already too. I am a sad cow and like to get super organised. Bought cards and paper at a girl friends house a few weeks ago - she does it to make a little cash on the side.

Rachel - From one X-Factor junkie to another X-Factor junkie!!! I love Abba too but when they have done before it makes you realise how dam hard Abba songs are to sing! Really hope that the hospital will let you get going soon too. I may do a FET rather than a Fresh cycle if it is more feasible to fit that in ahead of Xmas.

Becleo - triplets in the family already. How fab. Must be a sign!!!! :wink: We both have appoinments on Tuesday so will keep my fingers crossed that we both are able to make a good plan on Tuesday. I might end up doing a FEt with you - never know!?

Angie - Thanks for thinking of me. I am sorry that you have to wait longer. The waiting drives me around the twist. It does sound like you are recovering well though which is v important. I may end up FETting with you as not sure that we will have time to do a fresh cycle pre-Xmas. Hopefully I'll know after Tuesday??? Will let you all know as soon as I get home after the apppointment!!!

Vickie - nice to hear from you. Wondering where you were!? We all need time out though to carry on rather than getting taken over completely by ivf/iui etc etc I am looking forward to Xmas too. I'll be able to make better plans after Turesday hopefully as we will know what we will be doing

Laura - Hope that the tests tomorrow will finally bring you the good news that you deserve sweetie

Hope that everyone else is having a great weekend. I have been so busy. Went to see Keane with my dh on Thursday. They were cool & we were right at the front too. First gig we have ever been to together - different tastes!!! Support act Captain were v good too. Then I have a (v small) share in a race horse which run for the first time this season at Wetherby on Friday. 4th of 5. Not great. No complaints as he won 5 times last season which was such fab fun. But it was a 400 mile round trip. Out late Friday with a friend who I used to work with who now lives in Paris. She has done ivf 4 times. 3 -ves and 1 eptopic. She has started the adoption process but is considering tmt again. She is so brave and strong. I found it really inspiring to talk to her. Then yesterday took my 12 year old niece shopping on Oxford St. She needed a party outfit which we managed to get. It was so pretty on her and her Mum approved too. So good outcome. So was shattered with all this going on plus X Factor!!! Have sacked out today other than getting the grocery shopping in.

Thinking of you you all. Will post on Tuesday after my appointment. Let's hope that it is a good week!!!

Lots of Love
Carolyn xxxxx

hello everyone - hope your Mondays are not too bad. Well my next appointment is 10th Nov - hopefully some more FET news then.

Carolyn - how exciting to have part share in a race horse. Have you ever been to the Melbourne Cup ?- we are off to the races on Sat :D I am intending to guzzle lots of bubbles as hopefully it will be my last chance for a while....Hope we FET together too.

Hello to all you other lovely ladies. I seem to have broken my ticker - I am such a technophobe!

hey girlies

Hope you all had a good weekend, I have been busy, went out to Cardiff on Sat nite and I'm still recovering! I just can't drink anymore. Long gone are the days in University when I could drink the following day as well!!

I watched the repeat X factor yesterday, come on Ben I think he's fab!!!

Carolyn I also have my followup appointment tomorrow so good luck I will be thinking of you. I'll let you know how I get on. Rachel let me know what the clinic say about the FET process and I'll let you know what they say tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if we get the same info.

Anyway have a good day all

December-January Cycle Buddy's Our New beginnings

Post by becleo »

hey all.
yup another monday!!!!
Lara I think it was you asking about the FET cycle.
when I did it before once I got AF they put me on estrogen ( 1 pill a day and a patch every 3 days)
I did that for 19 days . went in to look at the lining on my uterus and then I was to going for the transfer, but sadly none of the embies survived the thaw. i am hoping this round is better!
Becky, the triplets are actually the prettiest in the world hehehe, ok I am an auntie!!!!! it really does give me hope! they are a ton of work but a ton of love too! I totally needed to see the girls and my nephew yesterday, ended up having a really tough night saturday, cried myself to sleep. just felt like it has been one thing after another and just wished something would workout for us. DH has no clue how to deal with me like that though he tries so hard, but he just can't totally understand, which makes me sad even more... ahh gotta love this rollercoaster ride we are on,
but yesterday was a new day , and the sun is out so hey what ca you do right!

Carolyn,
BEST OF LUCK tomorrow, i will cross my fingers for as well. really glad to have this support. makes things a bit better huh!
I have so many questions for my doctor tomorrow. but I will keep you posted.
Back to the grind :shock:

Incredible news about my little fighter! Actually make that TWO little fighters! Yes, the sono showed identical twins!!!!!

I had to put my head between my legs as I almost fainted. There were two yolk sacs, two fetal poles and two HEARTBEATS!!! Twin A was 130 bpm (beats per minute) and Twin B was 128 bpm. I can't believe this happened as they told me I miscarried two weeks ago.

The only concern is that we can only see one gestational sac. The doctor said his machine isn't very sensitive, so there could be a line between the sacs and we just couldn't see it. I have an appointment for a sono tomorrow with my regular OB, whose sono machine is more sensitive.

Hopefully there will be two sacs, as it is very high risk to have two babies in one gestional sac. But I refuse to be concerned as everything about this pregnancy has been a miracle.

I know that all of you will get your miracles soon!

Have posted for you on April-May thread already after I picked myself up off the fall.

So Very Very Happy for you & your dh. Not 1 fighter but 2 fighters. Twins - how bloody cool is that!!!!!!!!!!!

Fingers crossed that tomorrow - finally - will show that all is well for you & your two super beanies and you can then really start celebrating.

Big Hugs
