Seven long weeks and Four long days

Hi honey, so yukky today. Can't wait till tomorrow and knowing things are ok.

Then I think I am going to come home and have sex ..as long as I can still remember how to do it.

Self tan, well, I read on pregnancy.org first of all some one asked about dying your hair and the doctor? answered that they find traces of the cemicals in your blood so it's best not to or at least wait till twelve weeks. Apparently high and low lightings not as bad coz they don't put the dye on you rroots so less is absorbed.

And then someone else had asked about self tan and they said coz it a newish product there isn't much research yet and whilst there is no proof it can do halm it will be being absorbed by your body so because it's not as essentual as sun cream maybe it's best avoided.

So there you go. I think with all these things its up to us how paranoid we want to be. It's like drinking most non IVF pregnant women have one glass with a meal out and I'm sure in Spain people drink ever day with their food, but it is absorbed and I think when you've had to struggle so hard to get to where we are it's hard not to think of all things that could go wrong.

I wish I could be more chilled out about the whole thing, hopefully by twelve weeks when the babi(es) is/are all formed I'll be able to relax much more. Have lots of sex, swim, dye my hair and skin and have the occasional glass of wine without panicing. But to then..........

Hiya Chvonne & Quita

Im sorry but i hope u dont mind me butting in on ur thread but i just had to come in and say to the both of you

CONGRATULATIONS

Ive just finished reading ur posts from ur 2ww onwards and i have to say - WoW! What a friendship u have both got. How wonderful that u both went thru this together and are both pregnant - and you with twins Quita. Im actually reading at work today, and the tears came to my eyes when i found out u were both pregnant, i kinda scanned thru all ur messages just to get to the final result (i was dying just to look at the end - like the pages in a book lol)

Im going for my 2nd go with my June Cycle.Its horrible getting a BFN, that was last September, and its taken me this long to decide to go ahead for another go - im so pleased that the both of you have found each other.

I want to wish you both well in your pregnancies, you really are two lucky women

Hugzzzzz,

Becky Xxxx

Nine weeks and two days

Hi Chvonne,

They haven't told me that yet!!! Ha Ha Ha they just sent me a lovely letter saying Congrationaltions on being pregnant - heres a leaflet on Down Syndrome! Thank you for choosing us (didn't know I had) a midwife will be round for a home visit on 15th May and to talk to you about about screening for Down Syndrome.

Nice huh Ilove the NHS!!!!

Sorry to here about your m/s yuk - I was starting to worry that I hadn't heard from you. Hope you feel better soon. My knee is well hurting today got physio again on Friday they gave me some ultra sound on it last week and I saw a podiatrist who recommended that i now go to the foot shop for a better heal raise and to see a back specialist in Brighton, although they said there is not much he can do without x rays until after babies are born. Just hope I can cope both with being much heavier and bending and lifting after scary!!!!

My bump is growing a lot can really see it now. I was a size 8 now I am about a 10 but just round the middle. I love it! Like you I had to treat myself to lots of new clothes. Love that too.

Becky,

Course you can butt in! Thank you very much for the congratuations hopefully it will be us congratuating you soon.

Have you joined the June cycle group yet? I was part of the March cycle group and they helped me a lot. Did you know exactly half the people in our group got a positive!!!! So your odd are much better than the clinics tell you.

And half of my pregnant after treatment group (Dec) have now found out they are having twins.

Best of luck Becky let us know how you get on xxxx Quita xxx

Hiya Quita,

I was part of Sept hope and dreams thread last year, the ones of us who got BFN's went on to Dec/Jan, which still gets a few messages. BUt a lot of the women there have moved on to other threads. When i was waiting, I opened up the thread 'Awaiting Treatment' where a lot of us are kinda of 'hanging around' waiting to get going again. It was only yesterday that i got news of my June cycle, im really excited and still on cloud 9

I was just nosing about when i came across this thread and couldnt help butting in, its a lovely story u both have.

I have made loads of friends on this board, some who have gone on to get BFP's and others who havent. Its sad when your friends dont make it, some cant cope with being in a thread where women are either talking about their pregnancies, or talking about their treatment. I found it really diffucult, but stayed about lingering lol - now im over the worst of it (i dont think i will ever be over it totally) im raring to get back on that rollercoaster, its gonna be one hell of a ride again lol

Hey all i had my transfer 2 days ago, im so bored! and have another 10days till we find out.
Im still alittle sore after the opu. Is that normal?

Nine Weeks and Five days

Hi Katie,

Hello I know its hard! I made myself stay in bed for three days ala Zita West so my bod only had to focus on the pregnacy. Watched load of chick flicks and read. Then I got up but just chilled, drank loads and kept warm. It worked for me.

I didn't feel sore - cos they only got 6 egg out of me but I did have full on cramping from day one and I spotted twice on day ten and day fifteen.

Hi Becky,

Not long till June now. Hve you started the folic asid already? Apparently more likely to have twins if you start early as it helps them both to implant. Are you having acupunture? This really raises your odds and lowers your stress - well worth it!

It horrible when your friends don't make it and I totally understand them wanting to leave the site. But this is a new cylce for you and yor odds are good. Did you read Zita West Fertility and Conception it was my bible, gave me something to cling onto. That and knowing that 70% of my acupunturists clients got pregnant after a few goes of IVF.

Best of Luck xxx

Hi Chvonne,

Hope your morning sickness is starting to pass now - just two more weeks and it should deffinately get better. Thinking of you. xxx
