Congratulations to Bel and Kate, so pleased for you both, well done and take special care xx Hello to newbies, Mel, Ambar, Hayley. Good to see how everybody is progressing. I am going to the clinic tomorrow for scan, then probably again on Saturday for final scan and arrange e/c on Tuesday then e/t (all being well) on Thursday. So Lisa/Vicki we are going to be togetherish! Vicki try not to think about your bladder because all you want to do is go to the loo!! Good luck to you both for your next scan.

Gem I'm at Barts in London, 1st go through them in Dec through funding, stayed with them since, however I was due for my FET last month, they postponed it till next year (due to a shortge in Embryologists), so I went to the Lister and arranged the transfer, then Barts said they could do it this month so I stayed with them. I hope I've done the right thing! Where are you? I will hopefully find out more tomorrow as to the proceedure, the kits inclusive of the FET price, its is strange that the Lister said I would be scanned on day 2, yet Barts say they start at day 8?? I will let you know the outcome of my visit tomorrow, hopefully they will be able to answer my concerns. All the best for Fri. Keep thinking positive to the rest of the OCBs. Love Ambar xx

Hi Gang Just a quick thread to check in on my buddies today. Lisa Ch - sorry you had a crap weekend, the last thing you need is to be busy at work right now. Take it easy buddy. Good luck with scan tomorrow hope you see lots of lovely follies. I'm keeping it short today as yesterdays post seemed to take me forever in my current state of mind. Good luck & love to everyone. Vicki B XX

Lisa Ch · Post by **Lisa Ch** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 11:54 am

Hi everyone scan didn't go to well, they said about 8 follies on each side, the biggest about 12mm so don't think that e/c will be on Tuesday. The annoying part is I have to wait until tomorrow after they check the work schedule for next week to find out what will be happening. Problems are both myself and dh have taken next week (except Monday) off work on holiday. My office moves on Monday so I should be in! Now it looks like if we don't scan on Saturday it will be Monday and if e/c and e/t are later I may want time off the following week when we are really short staffed so it will be a bigger problem. Why does everything happen at the wrong time. My dh needs to be sure as this is the last of his holidays. I don't trust my boss so am not in a position to say anything to him. He made a sarky comment yesterday about not realising he had employed a part timer!! cheeky B Sorry for moaning again!!! Best wishes to everyone, there are quite a few appointments coming up on Friday. Let us know how you all get on. Lisa xXx

Lisa Ch - I now what you mean about work being a pain! my dh has started a new job and we're finding it difficult for him to have time off without having to explain all the details! I've got my day 8 scan tomorrow. Such a pain that you'll have to wait for the work schedule to be arranged - it's a shame people don't realise the effect this treatment has on everyone and waiting is extremely difficult. Hope everyone else is well. Aly good luck for Friday, lots of positive thoughts are being sent for you. Everyone else testing / scanning in the next few days, I hope all goes well Lisa x I'll let you know how the scan goes tomorrow

Hello Lisa C - your poor thing sorry to hear your having a bad day, you must try not stress yourself about this I know its easier said than done. Your egg collection may still be next week just a little later and if need be take a few days off sick. check your employment contract for what your employers policy is for sick cover, where I work we can self certificate for the first 7 days. Maybe your DH could ask his work if it is possible to move his holidays making up some excuse. Sorry if I have not been much help, I just wanted to post a possible response and let you know I’m here as your cycle buddy. Hayley – Welcome to site happy sniffing and good luck with baseline.

Hi Girls, Hope everyone is doing OK. I had a bit of a bad day today, I thought I was doing fine (only on day 3 of down regging but already feeling really spotty and blobby)anyway I came back to the office after lunch and bumped into one of the girls who is currently on maternity leave. She has had the most beautiful twin girls, they were dressed in identical pink outfits with identical dimples. I could feel the tears welling up just looking at them. Then somebody else who I haven't seen for a while asked me wasn't I maternal and why didn't I have any children? To make matters worse she has called the twins my two favourite girls names which dh and I always joke we will call our babies. I burst into tears and had to flee the section, now I feel like everyone is looking at me as if I am some kind of lunatic. Sorry to waffle on, just wanted to talk to someone. take care everybody Julie. xx

Jules - try not to get to upset, I had a day like that yesterday. The only thing that got me through was speaking to you guy's. One of the girls I work with has just had a baby boy and another is having a cesarean tomorrow. Your turn will come! SPOTS..........I have never suffered with them in my life, but now my face is full of crater's. Keep Smiling Take care everybody Love Hayley xXx

Lisa Ch · Post by **Lisa Ch** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 6:21 pm

Lisa and Vicki, thanks for the good wishes. Good luck for tomorrow Lisa, let us know how you get on. Vicki when is your next scan?? Feel a bit better now. I just wish I could get some order into my life! My lodger does not know about us and I feel that it must be wondering what is going on, I disappear at the same time daily and my alcohol intake is nearly nothing. My friend is going to ring for me tomorrow, I just hope the clinic will speak to her, I have given her the initial dates and some personal information so they can check she is not a hoax. Jules and Hayley, my face seems covered in huge lumpy spots (there are only 3 of them so that shows how big they are!!) they are horrible just hope they are a good sign PMA Jules don't worry about what people think, some are really thoughtless and have no idea what it must be like to want them so much and go through so much to try and achieve our own babies. Having a good cry helps a lot so take no notice of nosey parkers. If anyone asks just say you have been feeling poorly recently. Aly thinking about you and hope you get a + result. Best wishes everyone Love Lisa xx
