Aunty, I am doing good. I am at home sick today, but I think I will go to work tomorrow. I have a sore throat and my stomach is a little upset. I am glad everything is going well with the house. I love moving! (I am one of those weird people...)

Evening Ladies,

Hope u are all well :)

Ems: Thanks for the update hun, see i told u everything would be fine didnt i? Im not ur babies cyber GM for nothing u know LOL. Really, im so pleased everything has worked for you and DH, im so looking fwd to Oct 20th :D are u going to ask wot sex the wee one is, or u hanging on for a surprise. Do keep me updated hun, im still here hanging about - u know me, stubborn as a mule lol xxx

Ange: That scan of yours sounds wonderful, theres no other words i can say .... but please keep us updated on how u and the wee ones are doing, its so great to hear from all the ladies here who have gotten their dream, it keeps it alive for us who are still trying :D xxx


BWHD: Hiya hun, how u doing - your follie count sounds great to me - when do u go back for another scan, Friday is it. Im sure u will have loads of lovely eggs, they told me i only have 4 - 5 follies, but i ended up with 12 eggs, so u never know :wink: let us know how it goes on Friday ... xx


Aunty: Hiya luv (said in my common welsh accent lol), so did u find ur dream home yet? We've given up for the time being on ours. I do want bigger (dont we all lol) but the money at the moment is too much, as we are going private for treatment again in 3 mths time, we decided to stay put and see what happens in the near future. I do hope u get ur plumbing sorted :wink: and that soon u will be moving to ur dream house/location. Love to u (as always hun) xxx


Cook: Lol, No i dont think ur weird cos u love moving, im one of those people too - im the same when it comes to moving the furniture around all the time. I cant sit still lol. I love the adventure and the 'making it our own' bit of moving, the decorating (yes i love that too lol) Gawd, i sound like a right geek lol!

Rachel: Hiya hun, how are you? Enjoying the lovely weather no doubt :D

Pma/Soph: Are u away to egypt yet??? Dont forget the pics for us :wink: Have a great time xx

Shantala: Hello you :) Havent heard from u in a while hun, i hope ur ok - just to let u know that im thinking about u and pray that ur doing well xx, love to you xx

Well ladies, as for me, as i said earlier - we are now officially on the private waiting list - we couldnt wait for the NHS one (altho we are still on that list too) If the private one doesnt work out, we will have the NHS to fall back on. So i suppose the countdown starts from yesterday. They say its up to 3 mths wait. I asked where i was on the NHS and they said we were 76!!!!!! Im mean that will take forever wont it??

Also i went to the Zoo today with DH and DD. We must have looked a sight, the only couple walking around with a child the age of 16 haha! I kept her going bu calling her my wee pet, and rubbing her back all the time - it didnt go down too well haha!
Everyone else had little ones (most of em crying lol) We was stood watching the elephants, and a wee little girl with pig tails and dressed in pink came up to me and rubbed my arm, looked up at me an smiled - oh she melted my heart, she was beautiful .... awwww - anyway ....
Ive burned my back and arms (didnt realise the sun was THAT strong). I finally got to see an elephant (never seen one before today) and Giraffes! I enjoyed more than the kids there, my DH and DD said i was skipping to the elephants, altho im sure they were fibbing ............ lol :wink:

aunty - how you doing hun?? you've been really quiet too!! :D

ange - so amazed by your scan!! it must be so great to see your 2 little ones in there!!

cook - congrats again honey!!!!!!!!!!

sorry if ive missed anyone.....as for me, i start a new job on monday as a team leader so very excited but also very nervous. leading my own team!! eek.....but it will be good to have something new to focus on...

i've also decided to change clinics as ive been talking to other women about their tmts and tmts by their clinic and have found that actually maybe my clinic isnt as good as they make out to be. so anyway, we're looking to go to london now. i've got an app booked for the end of may for one of them and am going to a couple of other ones for open eves. so we shall see. i am a little worried about how i'm going to juggle this with my new job as there is no way i can tell my new boss but hey, i'll cross that bridge when it comes to it!!

apart from that, no news from me....trying to natural way for the time being!! :wink: :wink:

hope everyone else is ok!!

Hi girls, I'm still holding out hope, but it's not looking good for me. I have plenty of eggs in my right ovary, but not too many in my left. I had 4 in my left yesterday, and now there's 5, but they are not mature enough yet. Only 1 is. I thought maybe she would stim me longer to try and get those up to par, but she said going past day 12 really lessens your chances for pregnanacy, as the lining gets too thick. So, if they can't get to my right one again, I may only end up with one egg. That's scary. What if it doesn't fertilize, etc... Then it's over for me. I'm really stressed. I cried all the way home. :-( I tried everything I could do to get that ovary to shift. I busted my butt on the weight loss thing, etc...I go back tomorrow am at 7, and she'll probably tell me to trigger either tomorrow night or Sunday. ER will be either Monday or Tuesay. I guess my age is really making a difference. I had more eggs by this time just 6 months ago. UGH! I'm feeling depressed!

Well girls.....I have two follicles on my left that are mature enough, and one is actually borderline too mature. If it grows any more I'll lose it. It's at 20. Once it's at 22, she says it's too big. One is at 19. I have 11 on my right that are the perfect size.... between 16-20, but I'm not getting my hopes up on them. I'm just going to pray they can access that mega producing ovary. What a dissapointment ha??? If not, I'll be lucky to get one egg. I'm worried, but there is really nothing I can do. What a waste it will be to lose all those beautiful eggies.

Trigger is tonight at 7:45, and ER is Monday morning at 7:45. I'll take any prayers I can get, as this is my last shot.

Thanks so much Becky. It means a lot. I'm really trying to stay positive, and am feeling better about it today. I did drink a beer tonight. EEK! I figure it's still before transfer, so hopefully I'm ok. I was really stressed. And man, it was good. :-) Trigger is at 7:45, and I'm keeping my hopes up. You are right, you never know, they may get to that booming ovary after all. That would be the best! I know it only takes one. I keep ANGE in my mind, as she had two and is pregnant with twins. It's so wonderful. So, I know it can happen! Thanks for the pep talk. It did help! :-)

Have a wonderful weekend girls. I sure do miss you all. This thread is so quiet. I'll update you with ER status Monday. :-)

Janice....I know it's so hard, but try and stay positive. Hopefully they will have better luck this time reaching your right ovary and at least be able to salvage some if not all of the eggs. You might even get more eggs out the 2 mature follicles on the left, you never know until they get in there. My thoughts and prayers are with you and dh and I'm sending you all my lucky baby dust! I know I've truly been blessed and I want nothing more than to be able to share those blessings!

Can't wait to hear your results on Monday and please have a beer for me!

hugs,
