Oh my god - my DH has turned into a complete d*ck these last few days - deciding not to speak to me for some reason?? - i have asked him what is wrong and he says nothing like a spoilt teenager - just what i need in the midst of my drug binge (lol)

I also asked him if he was having a mid life crisis? (that did not go down too well!!) as i said well you are at that age (lol - it must be the hormones aming me say these things!)

Well it serves him right - he normally says 'are you having a period or something' when i am in a mood :wink:

Well i am off now to spit in his drink and to put a pillow over his face while he sleeps :evil:

LMAO oh Emma i thought it was just me and my Hubby, we always have a great relationship but these past few days OMG i asked him if he was pricking himself with the lupron he was being such a b*!ch moody and mean, i was thinking maybe i was being over sensitive (typical i look to blame me for his moods) but no it's deffinatly him
And i agree we are the one's being injected and having our bodys thrown out of wack they really should be being more supportive.

Jackie it's really good to see you, you may have been out of site but your not out of mind...i think its awful what you had to go through did they say they would be watching you more closley next time...i cant wait for you to start i will be looking out for your BFP in the near future.

Charlie i hope you get to see its all good have you stopped now?...i was waiting for mine i feel really weird like my body wants AF but my womb doesnt im so puffed up i wake up every day and im bigger..i was hoping id get af and it would go away ...oh well its all worth it in the end...

Lisa thanks for the links very useful info...wishing you luck im so excited for you

lots of love to all...Aunty

lara312, sometimes sleep is the best cure, take care of yourself [HUG]

Macca8, we are doing our retrieval on the same date, but you are several hours ahead! Thanks for sharing the links, as well 

Charlie78, thank you!

JackieG, when I want my AF to come, all I do is take a HPT, I realize that once I dash the hope of a BFP being there, I am less stressed and AF just happens.

Emma27, I have noticed that I have been making quite a few jokes about homicide these last few weeks, so much so that my husband commented about it. With everything that is going on it is easy to get caught up in all of the emotions, even for the guys. I have given myself the 3 second rule, if I still feel so compelled to speak that mean thing past the 3 seconds, I say it, but I know it has helped me not to say a few things that would otherwise start an argument.

Good afternoon guys!

oooooh I'm so excited! My dear, dear hubby-bubby offered himself to do the grocery shopping for this week because I drove him to and from the train station yesterday, and he had other shopping to do... and he found the two books on IBS from the website I told you about a couple of days ago! For some reason I feel SO reassured to have the books; it seems like I won't have to figure things out by myself with the bits and pieces here and there on the website! And now I have TONS of recipes to cook with that are safe for my tummy! Zucchini cinnamon bread is in the oven right now... smells so good! :)

Today is quite a normal day, except that I'm sick and tired of all the clutter here and there in the living room and in my office, and of the dust! So it's cleaning and tidying day today! I'm taking a little break to see how you guys are doing and I'll start on my office...

Headaches haven't come back (but DH bought me Tylenol) and so far, IBS has really really been behaving itself; thanks to those amazing guidelines! (sick of eating strangely though... but that will be over tonight!)

Sassy: dear, it seems like my reply ruffled your feathers a little bit. For that, I apologize sincerely. My tone might have been a little mordant. As I wrote, it was not aimed at you, but at the "excuse". You see, my friend has not become suddenly self-focused; she has always been that way, and her DH is the same! :lol: My friend lost a couple of friends after highschool because she simply did not return their calls, postponing all the time, for years sometimes. Not answering the phone while she was alone at home during her teenage and young adult years was her specialty. Yet when I asked her to do something or be there, she was there (sometimes 30-60 minutes late, another specialty, but eh...) but it had to come from me, she rarely offered by herself.

I felt like I had to explain how well I know the life of a typical resident because I didn't want you guys to think that I complained about my friend in a selfish or insensitive way. Indeed, because I know what residency is about, making her remarks about her attitude seemed tricky to me. But I wrote her an email yesterday afternoon and I explained what going through IVF is like. From start to finish. Not in an angry tone, just making her walk a mile in my shoes with words. (in fact I was so satisfied with the result that I sent it to my DH so he would understand even more what it is from my point of view too!) And then I told her what my needs were and why (a note from time to time or a quick message on my voice mail). We'll see how she reacts. I feel much better now.

Macca! Thanks for the cool links! I had a lump in my throat when I watched the slide show... how sweet! I might or might not use it, we'll see... but it's sure handy just in case. And wow, EC tomorrow! Are you excited? You've got a great number of follies, and I wish with all my heart that you'll get plenty of mature eggs that will fertilize well! I hope the procedure will go smoothly; I'll sure be anxious to have news!

Jackie sweetie, glad to see you back! It's perfectly normal to take some time off the board after such a disappointment! I sure feel the same at times! Glad to learn that the bloating has subsided!

Emma, whoa! Sounds like things are quite tense in your house! I'm sorry to hear that! The silent or half-answers treatment is NOT cool! But it's his problem... if he can't tell you what's wrong, how can you help him, change something, or adapt? He's the looser with that kind of attitude!

Ok guys... time to go clean again! And sort papers (bwwwaaaaaah!)!

Take care!

evening ladies

Becky – yes, I’ve been watching BB too!!! OMG, how good is it to watch?!? Its so exciting, your app is in 17 days!!! Woohoo!!

My2 – just realised your ticker(s)!! :lol: Omg, only one day till your hpt. Do you plan to do it first thing in the morning?? (the best of luck!!!!)

Sophie – hun, I’m sorry to hear about your frustrations with regards to the whole friends-business!! I know how hard it is and sooo understand. I personally wouldn’t mention a thing to them (but that is just my opinion!!!) as I think friends either get it from the start or they don’t and never will. I don’t know, its quite a difficult one. having said that, i did make it obvious to my SIL (who i work with) that her insensitive comments hurt me and then told her how i felt and she's been great ever since….dont know if its coz its my first ivf or just coz I’m a quite open person but we have told quite a lot of people as we both have big and also close families and friends who would realise something is going on. i think it all depends on your situation and how well people know you...OMG, I couldn’t stop laughing about your “I got a half-shot of lupron….” I was singing in to see how it fits and I couldn’t stop laughing as it fits so perfectly!!! Hahahahah…

Aunty – how you doing hunny?? when do you need me to take over??

Phx – how did your ET go today?? Thinking of you!!! (did you tell your MIL in the end?)

Charlie – sorry to hear about your situation, it must be really difficult to have family staying and going through what you are going through. Thinking of you! good luck with your follie count tomorrow. Let us know how you get on.

Ange – well done for starting stimms today!! how exciting!

Cook – OMG!!!! Is your fertility down to an STD??? I cant believe that! how rude!!...39 follies!!! That’s fantastic!! How did your trigger go last night?? You must be soooo excited!!

Rachel – how you doing hunny?? Sorry to hear about your tiredness and headaches. That sucks!!

Vickie – how you doing on your 2ww??

Beachbaby – thanks hun. hope you're ok....thinking of you!

Christine – baby tigers!!?? Aawww, how cute!! Hope you’re doing well.

Fed – 14 follies!! Way to go!! Good luck with your next BW and scan tomorrow!!

Silva – well done on your ET yesterday! A picture of your little ones, that’s so lovely!! We get pictures too I think…that must give you such mixed emotions!! I really wish you a really, really smooth 2ww!! You made me laugh about “getting this show on the road”…loving it!!

Macca – the best of luck for your EC tomorrow!!! 17 follies is brilliant!!! And thanks for the websites, the one you sent to your friends is brilliant! It sums it up so well and I had tears in my eyes reading it all. I’m very tempted to send it to all of my friends and family too!

Jackie – nice to hear from you – here is an AF jig for you so hoping this will set you off:

Image

Emma – OMG you made me laugh. How did the spitting and the suffocating go??? Hahahahaha….so sorry to hear he’s being a “spoilt teenager”…men! Thinking of you!!

Ems – good luck with your EC tomorrow!! You must be so excited!

thats it for me. really sorry if i've missed anyone!

Just a quickie ladies to wish Macca, Cookholmes and Ems all the very best with the EC. It's a busy week for us on this thread - will be thinking of you and hoping it all goes brilliantly.

Can def relate to the useless DH thing, mine came home last night after watching the cricket with his friends - I was asleep but stirred slightly and remembered to ask him to set the alarm for Monday morning coz I had forgotten (I always, always do it!) Guess what - he forgot. How can you forget when you are standing right next to it?!

At 3.30am I work up and just knew he hadn't set it - asked him, sure enough no so have to get up and do it myself. Lights on, I am cross of course - totally wake up and then don't sleep properly for the rest of the night.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr! Not a good start to the week - and all he has done is mumbled sorry and said he was tired, so forgot - jeez. He is tired coz he has been out late 4 nights in a row.

Signing off - a very grumpy Angie!

Ladies....

Wow, catching up on this thread might be more difficult for me than trying to get pregnant! :lol:

After 5 days of some R&R with DH, I'm feeling recharged and more positive. Completed my BCP's and Lupron. Started the Ganirelix and go for my baseline US tomorrow am. Moving along....

Meg12... OMG!!!!!!!!! How awesome to have a natural BFP after trying for so long. I got goosebumps reading your post. You must've been more than shocked. So happy for you.

Shantala... I'm so keeping everything crossed for you to have an early start in February. You so deserve it and are so supportive of everybody on this thread.

Bec.. LOL raspberry! I love raspberries and now I know why. Hope you're feeling great!

Lara...Hope your headaches and fatigue are subsiding. I didn't have those side effects, but definitely had a hot flash or 2 or 3 or 4.

Denise... 24 Follies is awesome. So many opportunities right there for you! Good Luck!

Jodi... You poor thing! Hope you are feeling better!

Sophie...I hope you've figured out the best way for you to work out your frustrations with your friends. Sounds like you've gotten lots of input on the thread from personal experiences. I have been very lucky regarding my support system even when I chose not to return phone calls after my miscarriage because I just didn't feel like talking. Thankfully they understood.

Jackie... welcome back!

Druit... Welcome to a wonderful place

Nouna... I had my first ER on a Tuesday and worked from home on Wednesday, back in the office on Thursday. My ET was on a Friday so luckily had the weekend to rest and then worked from home on Monday.

Cook... OWEEEEE..39!! It's no wonder you are waddling. Are wearing pants even an option?

Cook/EMS/Macca... GOOOOOOOOOOOOD LUCK on EC!!!!! Can't wait to hear all the stats tomorrow.

PHX/Silva... hope your 2 embies are making themselves comfortable in their new home. Aren't the pics amazing!

Mom20...ouch! I hope you are feeling better. Was AF really late? I sometimes get a more painful intense AF when she takes her time getting to me.

Fed.. Good luck with your b/w and u/s tomorrow.

Sassy...I like your suggestion for the PIO shots. I also found that icing the area for 30 seconds before the shot works wonders. Your idea sounds like more fun though.

Vicki.. how's your 2ww going? Tough, no doubt.

MY2.. how are you holding up? Are you taking an HPT tomorrow?

Aunty... Thanks for the photobucket info. Very cool! I can totally relate to the DH stuff that you, Emma and Angie all talked about. My DH has a backache and has decided to stop talking as if that will make it feel better.
Babies when they don't feel well or are tired! arrgghhh!

I'm sorry if I missed anyone, but wishing everyone all the best!

hugs,
Ange
