woohoo Sassy thank you so much i had a wonderful nurse do my scan love her to bits she clapped when she saw us she was so excited but see im from UK she's from Philapines so the comunication barrier is a bit strong..... hey lady's thats why we couldnt google it i knew i was spelling it wrong (well i hoped i was when i did google it it came up with ovarian cancer...pooped my pants) ok so i have 10 antrals on my left side and 4 on my right not looking too bad thats the most i have ever had at this stage

Charlie ooo really so your either a posh brummie or a yamyam depending on what direction your from :wink: ooo i know know do you say "toys r us" or "toys am we"???

Jeck LMAO ants no i know my spelling wasnt the best but couldnt ask the poor woman how to spell it she was screaming antrals at me thinking that would make me understand what she meant because she was saying it louder ...bless her

Ange you sound a bit like me i will be on 3 shots a day for a while like you say they really arnt bad are they ...thank you im really excited

SS im so excited for you and it will be here before you know it we are very close together oooo

Hello Ange!

Thanks for making things clearer. I'm sorry that you have to go through the same process again... but you Dr is right; attempting FET with only one embryo when you can do the whole process again and have more plus test them to assess genetics, will probably increase your chances. Nevertheless, it does make the process longer, and I'm sorry about that hun.

You give me a lot of hope, you know. It's really awful that your pregnancy was interrupted so early on, but knowing that you were able to jump back in right away helped me keep my hopes up. I'd really like to do the same thing if (I hope not) I'm not lucky with my first attempt.

About the morning sickness, well... ask most women with kids and they'll all tell you it was worth it. One thing I read, though, and it's SO true, is that the people around IVF pregnant women, or these women themselves, sometimes look at the pregnancy's side effects in a different way just because it was an IVF (or infertility protocol). Somehow, we IVF gals should not be allowed to complain as much, just because we want thoses babies so bad we should be totally happy and beaming just with the fact we're pregnant. It's a trap that's easy to fall into, and one must remember that we're as allowed to whine and complain as any other preggie. I, for one, won't tolerate comments of that kind... they would never come from my sweet husband, but from me... hehehehe maybe! And I have some family members in mind who miiiiight slip in one of these days... hehehe won't be tolerated! ;)

Okay, time to go back to work! yodeleee!

Sophie :)

Ange, my DH is like you. When he had the stomach bug he was in worse pain, because under no circumstances will he throw up, so I think it hurt him worse trying to keep it in.
My advice when dealing with the morning sickness is....
1) Keep a bag of saltine crackers by your bed and this second you wake up eat 3 or 4 and chase em down with a white soda like sprite.
(That usually does the trick) Do this when ever you get the feeling.
2) if it doesn't work you can take Emitrol. It's an anti-nausea med. I took it when I was pregnant with my daughter and she turned out perfect! (Well a little smart in the mouth, but perfect!)
3) it'll be trial and error but try to write down what foods give you that oh so good feeling :wink: and AVOID THEM!!!!! For me it was milk; not just the taste, but just the sight and smell.

I hope this helps all of you who HATE puking! :)

evening ladies

sophie - trust me, you dont babble too much...well, i'm bias as i do the same! :lol: health wise i'm fine thank you although my IBS has been playing up. i think its just coz ivf is near and stress/nerves bring it on. i'm terrified of what it will be like once we start ttmt as i know some of the drugs can make you constipated and i dont need any more of that!! (its great if i go 2-3 times a week, sorry if TMI); god, blimey, 5 jobs!! well its got to be done but good on you. i'm also glad to hear that you have a look at stuff on the net too...i had to pick up a mate from mothercare the other day and couldnt help but have a peek at the double prams!! :D

ems - woohoo for definitely being able to start stimms monday!! one step closer...

bec - finally i have a face to your name!! you 2 look lovely together!! and $30,000 for cancer research!! thats amazing!!! what did you do? come on, be honest, you robbed a bank, didnt you? :wink:

jeck - "ants in aunty's pants" - you crack me up!

ange - thx for the encouraging words about the shots. i used to be on the contraceptive injection which is a shot every 3 months and slowly got used to that...just didnt look! but i'm worried about doing it myself. i did think about just relying on dh to do it (or my mum, who has offered) but dont want to rely on them completely, just in case, and want to know i can do it myself. but hey, i'll be able to manage!! i agree with sophie that seeing someone like you jump straight back on the ivf train is so encouraging as it seems that there is life after a bfn. and its so encouraging. oh, and i just thought i would give you and sophie a tip on the sickness thing. (aunty - you'll have to make sure this is ok first please)...glass of coke (not diet) with a pinch of salt...stir it lots and take tiny sips every 2-3 minutes...works like a treat with the worst of sicknesses!!

ss - woohoo for getting meds. that must be so exciting. its great to hear about your "ivf son"...got any pics?

emma - hi, you dont know me, but just wanted to say that 20 frosties is fantastic!! wow, bring on that bfp!

beachbaby - yes, FET sounds much easier! we are desperately hoping that we have some left to freeze afterwards for that reason. i'm so glad i have found someone else who has used the nasal spray. started to think that my clinic is weird! :lol: believe it or not, i have never used any kind of nasal spray in my life!! :lol: :lol: dont know which stimming drugs ill be using yet but i'm sure i'll find out on the 16th. i really hope i'll have as much success as you - its lifted my spirits that you had a similar protocol and got a good number of eggs.

aunty - is it ok to drink coke and a pinch of salt when preggers?? just thought i would ask the expert! :wink: you made me laugh with the "toys am we"!! :lol:

hope everyone else is ok
