after i posted the last message, i phone the clinic and had a long chat with nurse, i am feeling better now, i think the main issue here, is that im stressed at work, fed up and bored..... so now ive typed out a cv and applied for some new jobs!!!
I am feeling quite chilled today, been to see a friend, and her kids and her new puppy!!!
Now cooking a romantic meal for dh, and will have candles and soft music and then.........hey i dont need to tell you that, but u know what i mean!!!
wink, wink!!!

Going out with family 2moz, for sunday dinner!!!

Still got pains in the ovary area, but lets hope its all ok on monday!! xx

Hope your all having a great w-end!! Lisa, wow, i am so excited for you!! This is so great, that he/she is kicking!!! x x

Julie, are you still living the sureal world?? has it sunk in yet babe??

Ps: I think a boy for Julie..... and a girl for Lisa xxx

[Lis]

Hi all hope everyone is having a nice weekend The weather is rubbish here - rainy, dull and really cold!

Nicki glad the romantic night went well, you saucy thing!! Good luck tomorrow, I will keep everything crossed that your cyst is going down in size doll. I will do a cyst jig for you ha ha!

Lucy only 4 days to go ...... how are you holding up hun? Keeping everythig crossed for you xxx

Jen, Julie, Kate, Souris, Gail & Katy - A BIG HELLO

Went looking at prams today. OMG its like buying a car .... and sooooo expensive! Between 400 - 600 quid for the lot - car seat, buggy, pram etc. its scary! Think we have narrowed it down to one or two but going to see if we can get a cheaper deal on line.
Well I'm off for tea now and back to the hole that is work, tomorrow.

Bye! xxx

Hi Girls

It has stopped raining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nikki - I am soooo sorry you have been upset this weekend. Great news on the scan, obviously apart from the cyst. I have one on my right ovary and it didn't stop me. What did they say today? Hope was good news for you. xxx

Lisa - have PM'd you. And yes I believe prams can be expensive! Bet it is fab when you feel him/her (him!) kicking!

Jen - How was your weekend? Hope was good and rain didn't spoil it.

Souris - How did interview go??? Good luck for you for Wednesday too. Hope they give you EC day x

Hi to everyone else....anyone heard from Luc?

I am fine...coming down to earth a bit. Need the scan to finally prove it!!! Totally shattered tho! xx

[souris]

Hi guys, just a quickie to let you know that the interview went very well!

I was quite apprehensive but the lady was really nice. She just asked questions about our life basically. How I met Dh and when, how is our relationnship, questions about my school years, about my job. Next interview we will talk about my childhood and parents.
Thoughts about adoption, who wanted it first etc..

I think I will be more nervous when it will be DH turn (knowing that I am the one who insisted slightly to have a child...)
And she also wants to see DH kids OMG (they dont even know we are doing the paperwork to start the process...) So I dont know what we are goind to do for that. But most probably, their mum wont let them so this could be our excuse...

Oh well, we talk for nearly 2 hours and I am sooo tired!!

Hugs to all

[luby]

Hi Girls

I have been having problems with my internet connection, lets hope it lets me stay on long enough to post....

Julie - How you doing hun? Has it sunk it yet.? Wow scan on 1st June, bet you can't wait... didn't realise some clinics don't have you in to check HCG.... Just noticed your ticker - 5 weeks already, my god it only seems like the other day you got the fantastic news....Hope you're taking it easy. Have you told anyone or are you waiting.?

Souris - How are things going? Hows the stims going. I too was confused to read that you already had follies then took stims after.. uumm. Anyway hope you've got lots and lots now and you gets lots of eggs, when will be your EC.? Didn't realise things were moving already with the adoption process, glad the interview went well. When do you have to go again.. Take Care hun.

Nicki - How are you hun? Hows the cyst? If it hasn't gone when you next go for a scan they will drain it, this doesn't hurt. It will prob just go on its own though. Sorry you didn't get an interview for the jon you went for. What was it for? Hope you find some other jobs you can apply for, its awful being unhappy at work, we spend most of our time there, we might as well do something we at least like a bit.... Anyway hun you take care.

Gail - Glad everything went ok at Katie's 6 week scan. She sounds so adorable. At least you can finally get out and about in the car now you can drive again... why couldn't you drive, do you have to wait so long after you've given birth? Didn't know that.!! You take Care hun.

Jen - How was it at the lake district, hope you and adam had a lovely time.? Hope the weather wasn't too bad.. Its horrible here, still raining.. Take Care hun

Kate - Sorry AF came, its awful isn't it.. when are you doing FET again.? Is in the 6 week hols..? Hope you're doing OK?

Lisa - I'm sorry to hear about your mum, hope she's better. My boyf suffers from servere anxiety disorder, it is horrible, he doesn't so much get the panic just the horrible extreme anxiety everyday, the amount of times we've gone to hospital, your mum does need support from her GP with this, hope she gets it. It can't be easy her living by herself either, it can be very hard.. Hope you're OK? Wow you felt baby kick, I bet that was an amazing feeling? Have you seen any cheaper prams on the net? Anyway hun you take it easy.

As for me, still hanging it only 3 more days until my test date. I don't feel anything though, no symtoms, I know that doesn't mean anything as lots of women don't get any yet but I'm forever looking out for them... checking my boobs etc.. its mad.. Got my interview tomorrow for that job I applied for ages ago, I'm absolutely dreading it, but can only do my best huh? Then Thursday is the BIG DAY... OMG..!! OMG my sis has just phoned me to say she thinks her waters have broke, so bet dash, I'm looking after my niece if she has to go in... oohhh exciting. I'll keep you posted.

Love to you all

Lucy

[BevT]

Hi girls, hope you don't mind me crashing your thread but I just wanted to wish Lucy all the very best for this cycle. It's been a while since we have communicated, although I do think of you regularly. I really really hope that Thursday brings you good news and that your long awaited dreams come true.

Bev xxx

[gailp]

Lucy just wanted to wish you lots of luck for Thursday, crossing everything that it’s a BFP for you. Good luck also with the interview, I am sure you will be fine. Hope your sister has a nice quick labour, they say the 2nd is always quicker. The reason I couldn’t drive was because I had to have an emergency Caesarean because Katie’s head was stuck against my pelvic bone and she wouldn’t come out any other way. Because the stomach muscles are cut they say that you would not be able to do an emergency stop which is why you can’t drive.

Nicki sorry your cyst is still there but fingers crossed it will be gone by the check up in June, if not as Lucy says they can drain it for you. Sorry you didn’t get an interview for the job.

Souris how do you think DH’s children will react when you tell them? Why won’t their Mum let them do the interview do you think? Fingers crossed you get a BFP and you won’t even need to worry about that.

Julie its still raining here!! The tiredness will hopefully go by 12 weeks (sorry that probably seems a long way off!!!) Wait until you are up doing 3 am feeds! Have you told many people yet?

Lisa prams are very expensive, we were very lucky we wanted a Mamas and papas travel system and it was reduced in the sale after Christmas ½ price. WWW.Kiddicare.com are very reasonable compared to the shops on a lot of baby things all brand names as well. it’s a strange feeling at first feeling baby kick isn’t it but the most fantastic feeling in the world.

Kate and Jen hope you are ok?

[Julie2039]

Hi Nikki - Hope you feeling ok and also hope the cyst has gone by your next scan. they do come and go, I have had a few but had ET with a cyst on my right side....sure all will be fine. Sorry about the job interview. It is hard when you get fed up of where you are as things very quickly get/seem worse. Hope something comes up for you x

Souris - Glad the interview went well yesterday. Hope the agency accept the fact re the children and they don't insist on seeing them......I can see why it would complicate things for you. Never mind, focus on now and hope you get the news you want tomorrow for EC.

Gail - The tiredness is getting progressively worse at the moment. fell worse in the morning to be honest, even though had early night! Told the family we want to know and very close friends of ours but waiting for the scan on 1 June before shouting from the rooftops!!!

Lucy - I am trying to be really good and am doing less. It is fine at home - just difficult to do less at work (did as little as possible in the first place ha ha)!! This is your week kiddo......

1. new neice/nephew
2. new job as you gonna sail the interview (good luck)
3. BFP !!!!!!!!!!

Things always come in threes x

Hi to Kate, Jen & Lisa xxxx

[Lis]

Hi guys really sorry this is just a quickie as I am up early tomorrow to drive to a yucky work conference that I know nothing about and still to get directions from the net as to exact location .

Julie thanks for the pm. The 7 wk scan is very surreal. You see the pregnancy sac and what looks like a bean with a heart beat - just a faint pulse. To be honest, mine looked more like a snail as there are no legs or arms, just the neural tube forming - so bean has a little tail thing going on! However you will love him/her all the same

Lucy I am so keeping it all crossed for you hun. As Julie said good things come in 3's so it'll be your week xxx

Nicki darlin sorry about the job interview but you are destined for better things obviously! As I said in my text, arms, toes, legs eveything crossed that cyst goes at next AF.

Gail thanks for web address will check it out. Big kisses to Katy xxx

Jen hun hope you are recovering from your fab wk end in the lakes. Look forward to hearing from you.

Big hello to everyone else.

Think we are going to go for 3/4 d scan. Dh pointed out that this may be our only chance to do this as you just don't know how things wil plan out ns we might regret it if we don't get one done so going to try book it for when I'm 28 weeks.

Well better get off and get these directions xxx

[jen babes]

Hi Pheonixes

lucy Good to hear you are holding up with the last few days of your 2ww. I know it's so hard but am so positive it will be your time... Good luck with the job interview as you say you can only don your best but good luck with it huni. XX


Nicki- i had a cyst 3 years ago before my BFP'S. Apparently they come and go with everyone and it went in 3 months by itself. Sorry to hear you didn't get the job you applied for...but i am sure you will find something soon.
I can understand why you are fed up ...life can be tough when you have gone through so much over the last few years, never mind the hell you went through on the last cycle of tmt. You are always there for others and are such a friend to us all. You are a special person and would make such a great mum... Hang in there honey the odds are in your favour...Hope the next cycle bring the joy you deserve

Souris. Happy EC honey... hope all is goes well... with your getting loads of eggs and embies from fertilisation. It sounds like the interview went well for you too...hope you a BFP of your own before adoption too!!! x x hugs to you x x


Lisa-Bl**dy Heck!!!!I can't believe the cost of prams!!! Hope you get a bargin like gail got!~ But it must be fun looking!!!! I remember pricing cots and cot beds and they are expensive too! mum said when i was preg that she would by that for us. Glad your mum is so happy with your preg...Sounds like it will give her a boost, and that will help her to get help from the docs, that must take some of the pressure off you. Sounds fab to feel the baby kicking what names are you looking at? Do you want to say? Hope you do go for the 3/4D scan it will be worth it i am sure Love x x



gail- Are the 3 am getting to you ? or are you managing to get a sleep when Katie is sleeping during the day? The photos of her are beautiful she is such a cutie!!!! x x

Kate- sorry to hear that dh is so upset about your AF. As Lucy asked are you going again in your summer hols? Hope AF pains go soon Love x x

Julie- bet ya can't wait for the 1st of June...it aint far away. Look after yourself and take as much rest as you can. I can remember feeling so tired in the afternoon that i nealry fell asleep many a time. I feel so happy for you ...has it sunk in yet? If not the scan and hearing the heart beat will do it for you and dh i am sure.x x


we had a great weekend at the family party. \it was good to catch up with everyone after the wedding party too. Adams Dad has put all the footage from the wedding party camcorder on a dvd and we watched it with everyone. It brought tears to my eyes hearing Adams speech to me again!!!!...After the party we stayed at Adams Aunt and Broc was playing with her 19wk old Border Terrier pup that was the size of a a loaf of bread! Compared to him beign nearly his full size and 44 kilos. He was so gentle and she loved playing with him too. The only thing was it took us 6 and a half hours to drive there friday night and the same back on sunday....It triggereed off my MS vertigo ( room spinning and sea sickness) so much i was sick all night on sunday and all through yesterday Yeuk...feel tired but slept a lot today so feel better and i could take my tablets. so on the up!!!!
keep dreaming about babies too and am so looking forward to getting started on blood tests & 1st steps towards getting ED tmt. Roll on the summer and a BFP!

Love to you all ...

Souris? Are the follciles growing? whens EC and ET? xx

As for me! I have AF today!!! wahooo!!!! Not sure if thats early or late or what??? i have really gotten confused with what day is what after the last IVF......So now i know today is day 1, have been counting days to when i should be able to start trying again!!

and i reckon all based on a 29 day cycle...... I will have AF on 11th July.... (which is a bugger as we go on hols 13th-20th July!)

so my reckoning..... is AF 11th july, Clomid 12-16 july, the first scan will be day 10 , the 20th.... but since we are still in italy then!! it will have to be done 23rd July with insem 25th July!!! and test day around 7th Aug!!!

So thats my plan...... Lets hope the cyst has gone by then huh?? xx

Im sure now i have AF it will be gone!! xxx
