[shantala]

hi all

right, get ready for a big one...

kandice - woohoo for our ET tomorrow. ive just noticed yours is at 11.30 tomorrow? well guess what? so is mine!! how weird! having said that, are you in the US in which case we wont be having it at the same time after all! the best of luck!! oh, and as for your Q. not sure if i want to find out, think i do though. it would just be nice to start buying boy or girl's clothes although i wouldnt go mad as a friend of mine did that and then found out they got it wrong!

katt - dont know if you've been following my posts for the last couple of days but we had 15 eggs and only 5 were mature. they told us we had a 50% fertilisation rate but actually all 5 fertilised!! so please dont give up hope honey!! i know how you feel though!!

nicky - i so know what you mean...if you can taste the horrible taste at least you know its worked, right? any symptoms yet??

nerms - fantastic news about your lining!!!!! woohoooooo!!!!!! i'm so excited for you!! cant believe they made you do the injection there and then! eek! oohh, you're not far behind me at all. when are you booked in for a follie scan??

bridget - did you have your transfer yesterday???

mandeeq - the best of luck for your ET tomorrow!!!

anna - good luck with your scan today!! let us know how you get on...

steph - hey hun...how did your follie scan go today??? ooohh, i'm so excited...let us know as soon as you are back!

kia - sorry to hear about your belly and AF not showing her ugly mug. i really hope she shows before monday!! thinking of you!!

holly - glad you had a good time skiing!! welcome back!!

mrsb - wooooohoooooooo about your lining. oohh, youre having your transfer on my birthday and a day after i have mine!! fantastic. so we'll be on our 2ww together for longer than we thought. you getting excited?? cool that you're still on for the 17th. MRSB, NERMS, NIMBLE, have we definitely agreed on the 17th?? or 18th?? whenever for me....also, i think it would be a good idea to send each other pics by email or a little note to say what we're wearing coz not sure how we'd recognise each other otherwise.

sonya - thank you so so much for your support and my myspace message. you're sooo sweet! oohh, not long till you start stimms now!

nimble - i already wished you a happy birthday and hope you are having a great time in lisbon. hope they let you junkie through!

smattison - thank you so much!! are you downregging at the moment?? if so, how you getting on??

rae - thank you so much for your support. its so nice for you to still be around!!

jackie - oh, i'm so sorry honey. the delays are so awful. i can empathise with you a little as we were expecting to start in october and then every months something else happened and the tmt was delayed by yet another month. i really feel for you. at least you can start your BCP which is at least something but i know that doesnt help as you wanted to start stimms straight away. it will all be worth it in the end though!! thinking of you!! xx

cook - how you doing hunny??

hi to everyone else and sorry if ive missed anyone!! feeling a bit better today although i still feel like...erm, you know when youve been sick all day your stomach muscles really hurt every time you get up, etc. well thats how i feel! anyway, dont care now that we have some embies and cant wait for my ET tomorrow. i'm so excited!! (and i think its the first time ive been excited in this process!!)

[smattison]

shantala- I think I am Down-Regging?? (BCP waiting to start stimming on the 21st) I am OK thanks for asking! The BCP make me sick and I still bleed a bit, Doc said it is normal. Good luck with the ET, you only need 1

[shantala]

smattison...yes, i guess you're downregging. sorry you're feelin sick and bleeding still. i felt sick all througout my stimming so i know its not nice. just take it easy and look after yourself!!

[Sher8]

Sounds like everyone is coming along well. I would like to hear feedback from those doing FET this time. Anything you can share would be great.

Thanks,
Sher8

[kandice]

shantala- yes- 11:30 eastern standard time. so actually you'll be before me then right? are you taking off the rest of the day? I think I will- just for an excuse to go home and lie down... I have a sit down job- I'm an accountant and I'm sitting at my desk for probably 7 or the 8 hours and they said it was fine for me to go back to work, but I still don't think I am. So I will fill you in on my experience Friday morning. and regarding the first time you've been excited in the process- SAME HERE!!! these 5 days have taken so long- I just want my babies inside of me!! if 5 days take so long- can you imagine what 2ww is going to feel like??! ugh! I will try to stay away from the HPT BUT... I still have 1 left at home from one time late last year (september or so) when I was very late for AF and thought it could be miracle- I bought 2 and AF showed up the next day.

[shantala]

kandice - well, long story about whether i'm taking the day off work. but yes, ive ended up taking all of this week off. it was just easier to say that. i think you're wise not going back tomorrow. just chill out and enjoy your little ones being back inside you!! i know what you mean about the 2ww. if we're like this now god knows what our 2ww will be like. we'll be fine though...i'm gonna try and keep myself busy. originally i had planned to go back to work on monday but ive been on a maternity cover contract and the lady that was on maternity leave has decided to come back early so i'm out. which now means i havent got a job, which means i will definitely be at home next week. hhmmm, maybe its just meant to be that way. i'm applying for loads of other jobs at the same place so i'm hoping i'll be starting something week after next. but as for next week, i'm gonna try and keep myself busy by visiting people. as for the HPT, well, we get given one by our clinic and have to do it ourselves at home after two weeks anyway. obviously the temptation will be there to still test a day early or so but we'll see. anyway, cant wait to hear from you tomorrow. how many are you transferring?? is it 2??

[pep23]

Hello all, just wanted to update you. Had my scan this morning and I was told that everything looks great! I had 9 follies on one side and 8 on the other. And she said my lining was right where they wanted it to be. So I'm really excited!! I've been bloated the past 2 days so I thought something was going on in there but it's nice to have confirmation that the meds are actually working!!

Shantala- Sorry to hear about the job thing but like you said, maybe it's meant to be?? It's good timing after all. You have the perfect excuse to put your feet up and pamper yourself. Are you so excited for ET?? How many are you transferring I don't remember?

Kandice- Good luck on Friday! I will be joining the 2ww club next week so we can suffer through part of it together!

Katt- Stay positive sweetie!! 4 is still a good number!!! Keep us posted…And thanks for the info on your dosage. Right now I think my RE is planning to have me Stimm for 10 days but I suppose that could change. I'm still waiting to hear back on my estrogen level and I think that has a lot to do with it.

Nimble- Hope you are having a fab time celebrating your birthday. Just you, DH, and a bag full of meds!!

Nicki- Your DH may surprise you when the time comes. I didn't think mine would be able to do my injections for me but when he realized how scared I was he stepped up and did it no problem. He does everything from filling up the syringes, to wiping me with the alcohol, injecting, clean up, etc. All I do is sit still and ice myself!! When the time comes I'm sure the two of you will figure out what works best but I do like having him so involved in the process. It makes me feel like I'm not doing it alone if that makes sense??

Nerms- Congrats on the skinny lining! You are on your way!

Back to work…Best of luck to Shantala and Kandice tomorrow!

XO
Steph

[shantala]

pep - hey hun. i replied to you on the feb thread to say woooohoooo about your follies. thats so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!! way to go you!!

yes, VERY excited about ET tomorrow!! we're having 2 transferred (if we still have 2 tomorrow of course)....oh, i cant wait.

Hi guys!!!

The hormones have kicked in!!!! I dont mind really, as at least i know somethings working!!!!

I ran off crying (like a big baby) today when a customer gave me grief, normally i would of taken it on the chin, but this guy sent me to tears, and then i had to explain to my assistant manager why??? Oh dear!!!! ( only my line manager know's at work!) so i said sorry and told her it was time of the month!!! LOL!!!!

AnywayDH has been a rock!!! I love him so much, I did cry over him this evening too, when he told me i'd left the light on in our bedroom!!!!
But he was full of hugs, and i was just crying!!!

Ive got flu symtons! sore throat and sniffles all day today??? Is that the synerol or do u think i really have a cold coming???
