Morning girls

Well here I am on this rollercoaster again.. AF came yesterday but it was tea time, therefore didn't class it as day 1. Started Buserelin this morning and will start stims tomorrow.... can't quite believe I'm back here doing all this again... but I know it will be soooo worth it. Not looking forward to the moods, or should I say my boyf isn't looking forward to them, I can get quite knarky on the Menopur, I get quite bad PMT anyway but when I'm on stims its worse... ooohhhh what fun.! So I've been working out dates, I will be on menopur for 12 days, so EC will be on 7th May, ET will be 9th May. Then the BIG Day will be 21st May.

Jen - Thanks for the advice re: interview, I rang HR yesterday because still not heard when interview will be, I've now been told it will be w/c 9th May, great huh? Now what do I do. I went to my doctors to ask him to sign me off sick when I go for ET, he said he will put minor operation, as I don't want anyone at work to know. But where do I stand then for interview, do I just have to miss out.? Will have to find out next week.
Have you had an email back about costs of donor eggs from Barcelona yet? What have they said? Hope you can get funds.! I can't believe its double IVF, its because you have to pay for the other ladies treatment, which I don't think is fair at all...I got told it would cost 6,200 approx, wonder how much cheaper it is abroad? Let us know when you hear something back. Anyway hun, hope you're enjoying your weekend away and your feeling much better.?

Julie - How you feeling hun? the non sleeping will def be down to your FET, thinking about it, being nervous, excited etc.. On tues though you'll be having your little babies put back where they belong and they'll be snuggling down for the next 9 months..! Hope you've had a relaxing weekend? Take Care sweetie and good luck for Tues if I don't manage to log on before then... I'll be thinking of you.!

Nicki - Loving the lists... don't want to mess them up, so would you mind updating my dates hun??? I totally agree with Juie, I admire you're spirit, and your good attitude towards this, good on you girl. You will get there Nicki, your time is not far away..! So what have you been up to this weekend, are you still having to take things easy? When you due back at work? Take Care, speak soon.!

Souris - Nice to hear from you, hope the move goes well... and enjoy your time in France with your family.! Hopfully see you on here when you get back.! Take Care

Gail - How are you and Katie doing? Has she put much weight on yet? Can't wait to see pic of her.. hope everything is going well and you're not too tired.? Take Care.

MLG - How are you baby Margarida? Hope you're both doing OK? Take Care

Kate - Hows you Hun? Hope you're having a nice weekend?

Right I'm going now, Tony (boyf) is going to do the lawn, its looking a bit tatty, and think I might have a trip to the garden centre to get some pot plants, would like 2 big pots, one for either side of my door.. then this aft think I'll just chill out, busy day at work next week.!

Love to you all

Lucy

Hi to anyone else I have missed. As for me life is just plodding on! Trying not to think about pregnancy and treatment (kind of hoping it might happen naturally without the need for treatment again!!), however my mind doesn't always want to co-operate!! Hey ho, what will be will be!

Hope you all had a good weekend in the sun, catch you later

Kate

Kate, hiya!!

We have the same attitude as you!! trying not to think about ttc, IVF, IUI, babies etc... just wanna let my hair down now, and have fun for the summer!!!
Have 2 concerts coming up a holiday and big family BBQ, inbetwwen that, we will be doing the garden up, so trying to focus on other bits and bobs!!

Went to clinic 2day, (again!!!) Getting fed up with the long journey there and back now!!
Estrogen is at 1300 now, which is lower, so thats good, and all other bloods, seem to be ok too!!
So now i stop synerol, and just wait for the bleed to happen, heck that could be next week, 2 wks, 3 or 4 wks!!!
Until that time i guess i wont be 100% out of this crap IVF drugs!! they are still my system, controlling me!!
I cant wait for AF!!! Can u believe, i actually want AF!!!! Mad!!!!
As for the future, who knows??? We still aren't 100% sure what we want, we know we want babies, but not sure how to try again....IVF??? IUI???
I wish God hadnt dealt us this card, why us????
But as u say Kate, Heyho!!! what will be, will be!!!
Had another cry today, over this failed IVF and also coz my mum left us today, she's been round since beg. of April, she 200 miles away, so not easy to pop by!!
she'll be back in May, we are seeing Jason donovan together!!!!
I have red eyes and headache from tears, but ive stoppped now, and dont wanna be sad no more!!!!

Julie, best of luck for tomorrow!! and best of luck for 2ww, will u be working thro te 2ww or taking timeoff?? x x

Julie just wishing you lots of luck for tomorrow....

I'll be thinking of you..

Sending you lots of love..

Make you sure you rest up when you get home

Lots of Love

Lucy

Julie,
good luck!!!

Nicki, I am sure you will have a baby, one way or the other. Not easy to chose a path though... I gave myself until the end of the year to achieve a (healthy) pregnancy , which means maximum 2 more cycles and then that's it. No more IVF for me, I will get my body and life back...

DH and I are both French but we are not living in france, we are in Dubai UAE.

Souris!! hey babe!! x xHows the move going?? x x

Souris is french for mouse, right???
But when u put it in a translator site, French to english it says Souris = smiles??
I'm confused! x x

souris · Post by **souris** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 12:22 pm

Hey Nikki,

yes, it is mouse.

Now french grammar:

Sourire= To smile
un sourire = a smile
but
tu souris = you smile

souris by itslef is a mouse!
