December-January Cycle Buddy's Our New beginnings

[Tex]

Hi everyone!

I am amazed at how busy things have been! Welcome everyone! Last time I was on the site I had to rush off. Anyway, as some may know I'm new to the IVF process and gosh if I'm not enjoying it all... grin. At least it is worth it!

I've read a few posts from people who feel they look 3 months pregnant after ET. Well I am totally there one week into my 2ww. What is up with that? Is it the shots? I feel so bloated!!

Nice to hear updates from everyone!

Tex

Tex,

Bloated is an understatement! I instantly inflate as soon as I eat or drink something. I was feeling that before the ET, but it's definitely worse now. Maybe just a sampling of what's to come.

When is your test? How are you doing with the 2WW? I'm totally focused on it and nothing else. Hopefully that will ease up.

Glad to hear you're doing well.

[becleo]

hi All
SS - ok so now a bit nervous about the straining aspect, but tryiong not to fret about it, thigs are moving along MUCH better te past few days, but Accupunture does it for me every time and then I don't have to take and drug to help. But all in all I feel ok. still bloated but no big surprise, I have SORE b@@bs, and tired and last night i almost passed out, and nausous. BUT it could be the progesterone, so not putting too much thought into that. I find that I am more calm this round. I am considering not answering the phone on the 24th when the cllinic calls with my results, so I can enjoy my xmas eve with my family and then on the way home listen to the news.. HELL if I have to turn around to shout at the top of my lungs to my family I just might do it. we'll see. haven't talked to DH about this yet. poor fella slept on the couch for the first time last night, he was hacking, coughing etc so bad with a cold he can't lay down.. First night he ever slept on the couch and we weren't even fighting heheh!
so all in all. i am hanging in there. how are you? any relief?? any symptoms?

TC take a test. CAN you imagine!!!!!! hey you never know right!!!!
PMA!

aNGIE - you rock, great attitude! I am with you it is a game of numbers!!!! 2007 is your year! I know it!

Tex- yup Bloat city right now. I feel so pretty .... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Vicki- you are getting there YOOHOO!

Rachel- oh hon I hope your migrane is better! yup staying sane, althoough DH isn't the most "nurturing" kind of guy BUT i am teaching him! But I am making sure to take care of my self. painting my nails . drinking tea etc etc! lovin life!!

Aunty- how the heck do you keep up with us all!! You are an angel! hope you have a good weekend planned.
I gotta finish xmas shopping. Damn ER & ET & 2WW got in the way hehehehe! wouldn't change it for the world!!!

have a great day everyone!
Love bec

[shantala]

bec - you made me laugh about being separated at birth! i asked my mum and she promised we didnt! cant believe you're testing xmas eve - how exciting. hugs.

tc - glad you feel better about your class. i'm not sure about your dh but miracles do happen you know. have you done a test yet??

sok - really pleased your 4 embies are doing so well. no wonder you are so excited and cant sleep. bring on that bfp!! sorry, if you've already said but are you having 2 transferred?

sophie - a huge welcome to you!!! its my 1st ivf too and i've found great help and support here. i really hope af shows soon!! know what you mean about still hoping for a miracle naturally! i also know what you mean about insensitive remarks - you have to try putting bec's "shit shield" up - it really works!

babyblue - glad aunty's AF dance worked! and well done on starting your BCP!! one step closer...

ange - i know the 2ww must be so hard. thinking of you!

ss - glad et went ok. woohoo. you made me laugh about your legs up on the trash can!! haha

angie - i'm so pleased you can start again in the new year and have a plan!! someone on here said "new year, new start, new baby"!! maybe we'll be in the 2ww together!! who knows.

tex - sorry to hear you're bloated. hope you feel better soon. you'll have to get used to it soon!

aunty - how are you hunny??

xx

[ssalgado]

Good Morning Ladies!!

Shantala- Thanks for the support, on the trash can nothing else to put my feet up

Sophie- Thank you for the advice , i do like oatmeal so that will be my breakfast these days

Bec- I think that not picking up the phone it might be a good idea in case that u get "bad" news HOPEFULLY NOT we need to keep POSITIVE!!!! but i am thinking the same thing with my father situation if we travel anytime this wknd or week i think we probably will be in PR for Christmas so will see that one, but i know i will get anxious of knowing. Symptoms?? my boobs are sore even before the transfer they are more now but i believe is the progesterone, also on the Constipation topic i took 1 glass of prune juice and 1 of orange juice and that definetely did the trick feel much better like is said in my other post i called the RE and she told me to get senokot i will do that today ... Well sorry about the nausea when i was pregnant with my son i didn't throw up once i had a really good pregnancy just hungry every 4 hrs exactly and needed to eat if not then i will get nausea but never made it pass that !! . Well hopefully you are feeling better and sorry about you DH poor thing ....

hi everyone sorry ive not been posting for a while wow so much has happened.

TC - i never went to any classes for shots we just got shown the same day we were given them DH was there so the nurse showed us both and DH did them for me to his disaproval he was frightened incase he hurt me. Also some of them were to be given in my tummy so i did them. It is best to do a test before taking any more tablets GOOD LUCK im keeping my fingers crossed its a BFP.

Sok - good luck for your ET and glad your embies r doing well heres hoping for a BFP.

Bec - good luck for the 24 th wow xmas eve now that would be the best present ever if you got a great big BFP your in my prayers .

Sophie- welcome hope you find this site as supportive as i have hope AF shows soon so you can get going.

Babyblue - now you can get the show on the road good luck

Ange hope your not finding the 2ww to hard your in my prayers and im keeping my fingers crossed for your BFP good luck to you.

SS- glad everything went well you take it easy and heres hopeing for your BFP

Angie - glad you have a plan and can start again in the new year you relax and enjoy xmas i know im gonna lol

Tex - i know what you mean about feeling bloated i felt exactly the same i felt like i had a baloon in my tummy and it was gonna go at any time never mind it will be worth it when you get your BFP i ll keep my fingers crossed for you.



Aunty- how r u tried to IM you but its still no working


Hi to anyone else i missed hope you all have a good weekend

As for me well ive kinda gone for a natural form me n DH have been trying really hard this week. As i was ovulating my AF is suppose to be here for 27 to 28 th so im gonna test then to see if its worked hey you never know.

Morning you busy ladies!

SS Oatmeal is great, I'm glad that your"plumbing" is back to normal, if you drink the prune juice and orange juice at first sigh of the problem you shouldn't need the OTC proucts. They are great and work great but natural remedies are safer.

Ok all you TWWer's and your perfect little embies the whole lots of you are to stay calm and relaxed. As for you embies stick to your mommy's they need you and love you already. I have a little story to tell you, because you never know how great the power of persuasion can be.
My dh said that after the ET he will being talking to our embies every morning and every evening, telling them exactly what to do and what not to. So I think that all of you should do the same thing. No baby can resist it's mommy's voice. Plus it's good training, if they listen to you now then the toddler age should be a snap! LOL!

I want to thank you for all your knowledge and advice. I called my Dr and their nurse told me that it's impossible for me to be pregnant. She said DH's vesectomy carries a 1 in 1 million chance of failure and that is it hasn't failed in 6 years, it's not going to. I swear if my Dr wasn't so nice and everyhting I would leave, because those nurses are EVIL WITCHES! I told I wasn't being annoying or paranoid, just want to be absolutly positive.
Well I have to be off, I have DH's xmas party tonight and I have to find something smashing to wear becasue he feels the need to show his bride off, so he says. LOL

Have a great day! Chao

[AuntyPebbles]

Good Morning Lady's
OK now i dont want to worry anyone so noone panick i was told not to drink prune juice while doing your cycle its fine once your embies are home just dont drink it while doing the meds.....

TC i have seen Dr's be proved wrong soooo many times it may be 1 in a billion chance to us you are 1 in a billion

Mom my im keeps shutting down ??? i will keep a closer eye on it sorry

Shantala thank you im good im loving the fact im into the teens on the waiting to start woohooooo...although thats just for baseline i still have another 19 day wait to start de drugs....how are you?

Lara i hope you fell better soon i woke up witha bad head this morning too mine went thought so sweet dreams and happy head soon...

love to all Aunty

[tcbalgord]

Aunty is there a reason why we shouldn't drink the prune juice? You are so wise and all knowing!!!!! I am going to have to do some research on all of the do's and don'ts just to keep up with you! You are right about docs being wrong and my friend thought the same thing so she showed up about 30 mins ago with a test in hand. BFN....hmmmm good or bad? Well truthfully DH and I were a little excited about the possibility no matter how remote is was, so I'm a little disappointed, but now I am ready to go. FORWARD MARCH!!!!!!

Thanks again ladies for all your wisdom!!!!!!

Hi everyone

Angie Glad your appointment went ok. Best of luck with your fresh cycle. They do say it is a numbers game or baby roulette. have you read the book it is very good. You had your follow up quick. I have mine on Jan 26th which is ages away but that is a good thing as it gives us a bit of a break. I cant do anything for three cycles anyway as it will give my body time to get back to normal.

Carolyn hope you are ok honey. It is hard but we have to keep going.

Rachel i hope you are well as well.

Jaby best of luck tomorrow. we really do need some BFP on here it has not been a good start for us. heres hoping youget a nice early xmas pressie.

Have had my scan and my gall bladder is ok and all my organs are all there and were they are ment to be!!!! So they it is most likely that it is the endo that is giving me the pain ( which we Knew anyway). have another appointment with endo gyne on Tue to see what my options are.

Hope everyone is ok , Sorry not been on much but trying to not think of babies at the moment.

Hi Ladies,

I am getting frustrated! I have been feeling like AF was coming for 3 days now and nothing. I am so uncomfortable and I am nervous as this happened the month after my last surgery. I have such a fear that is not going to come and I am going to have to wait yet another month! Can everyone do the AF jig for me? I need all the help I can get.
Sorry for no personals I am just not in a great mood and I dont want to bring anyone down!
Love and baby dust to all!
Erin

[Ems1971]

Hi Ladies

Jaby - wishing you lots of luck for tomorrow. I really hope you get your dream. xx

Vickie - hopefully you will have started your downregging today. I am with you all the way honey - hopefully this will be your time. Everything is crossed for you and I'm not far behind you.

Everyone else - sorry, rushed off my feet as usual I hope you all have a good weekend. This time next week we'll be finishing for Christmas - hurrah!

Take care and lots of babydust to you all.

Love Ems xxx
