Hi Pheonixes

how ya doing???

Julie sorry you are feeling so yeuk!!!! But it is a good sign that the hormones are strong. I bet it's draging to your scan on Friday... But it will be great to get a pic of beanie with a heartbeat!!!! Take care and rest plenty.

Souris...good luck with your fghter embie...hope your 2ww flies by. Are you staying in France for the nex 2wks or are you going back to Dubia to see DH? take care x x

Nicki- signed your petition and sent the link to friends via e-mail...hope you get loads more signatures. How are you in yourSelf? x x

Hi to everyone else...

Sorry this is just a quicky, had a great weekend we got loads of sun Sat but a bit of rain sunday. Enjoyed lots of eating ut and drinking with friends...so a bit exausted this week. Doesn't help that DH is off work with the flu... Men ain't to good with illness. My bloods came back with a slighter lower count of platelets but still over the limit so the docs think it is a virus ( prob the one that DH has got now!!!) but have to check bloods out in a years time ( strange timing i know?????) to see if everything A okay. Dh gets his bloods taken tomorrow so hope to get results back within 2 wks then we will hopefully have an appointment at IM Barcelona. Looks like it will be Aug before we do doner Egg ivf but hopefully it will be worth the wait.

catch ya all soon

loving hugs

Jen, great that you have bloods back!! sorry to hear dh is poorly..... Aug is good time to get pregnant!! and sure all that spanish sunshine will help!!
I knew some1 who got preg with DE in barcelona IM..... so can you!!

Kate, hiya honey. once agian sorry about 2moro. I am really feeling nervous about it now, i was all chilled and laid back but now i am nervous!! silly huh??? i am faced with the delemma, what to wear??? I know that the interviews are done by ladies, so i think thats better..... I am settlling on trousers and a blouse.....Black trousers and turquiose blouse......what does that colour say about a person???

Blue is my best colour, and i think i'll feel confortable in that colour, and trousers, i think i'll feel better in, too.....

I do need this job, or at least another one to get out of the shit hole im in now!!!
I have filled in another application form last night..... hoping to get interview next week for tht one....if i have application form they must have liked cv huh????

Julie, i am so happy for ya, and thats great that you have AF pains. its the womb growing and stretching for your little Boy!! ( have a feeling it s a boy for you!!)

Lisa, I have a feeling, its a girl for you!! dont know why!!! but i havent been wrong yet, guess all my mates baby sexes!!! thx for your recent txt.....Hope all is good with you there!! Dont worry about a thing babe. It's just you and dh and that little girl thats matters!!
Are u goning to find out the sex???

Lucy, Wow, thaats great your sister is happy to donate!! go for it i say, your baby would be your baby son/daughter and not your neice/nephew at all...... i think that counselling would help u and your sister...chat it thro honey!!!
Wish we had a known donor, we could ask!! have thought about dh's step brother, but dh not keen on that one!!
We did ask my brothers partner (my bro is gay!!) and he said no, he couldnt get over the idea it would be his son, and said it seemed odd i would be bringing up his son/daughter etc.......

souris, hope all is good with you, when is test day??? xx

MLG and Gail....Hello girls!!! xxx you all ok ?? xxx

[Lis]

Hi girls just to say I'm sorry I haven't had much time to post much over the last while. Its a constant fight with dh who gets the PC first and since he downloads a lot of films and music he is usually on the whole night. If he's got a day off during the week he's on it before I'm even home! Our connection/pc has also been playing up and has been incredibly slow so somtimes I don't even make it on! I do however check on all of you most days from work and want you to know that I think about you girlies a lot but find it very difficult to post from there (as I am doing now) as I don't have an office to myself and nhs internet usage is apparently monitored Anyway ......

Jen - its all moving along, fantastic. August will be here before you know it. It all sounds rather confusing about bloods - so do you need them done again? How are you feeling abour donor cycle? Excited? Nervous? Before you know it you will be nursing your embies and getting that precious BFP Sounds like dh has man flu LOL! ie a head cold!!

Julie - I agree, the sicky and yucky feeling is all good, means those hormones are flying high doll. Best of luck on Friday. You will find it amazing and emotional .. I balled my eyes out, tee hee. Make sure you get a picture. I still think our beanie looked like a snail at 7weeks!

Nicki - Gool luck with the interviews Thinking of you todmorrow, bet you'll do great. You'll be outta that place in no time and onto better things before you know it. Let us know as soon as you can how it goes!

Gail - did you have a lovely break away? How was it taking umpteen bags with you? I bet Katie had more luggage than you! I'm glad all her checks went well, you must be so happy that she is doing well.

Souris - hope you are resting up on the 2ww. Lets hope the cramps are your fighter embie snuggling in. Hope you don't mind me asking Souris but have I done anything to offend you? Its just you never mention me at all in any of your posts on this thread. I would hate to think I've done something unknowingly to upset you. Just feeling a little put out myself that you never refer to me - even a hi would do!

Lucy - I hope you are ok. Thinking of you honey and hoping you are taking time out to think things through. You know where we are if you need us. Hugs xxx

Kate - only 6 weeks to go then you are on hols for the whole summer. Yeah! How's thing going with the possible promotion?

MLG & Daisy - hope you are both still well.

I've had a bit of a stressful week with family stuff Was away at weekend visiting my mum and also my dad & stepmum. My brother is causing upset for all of them - annoyed that my mum, who is 63 and still working and has just been diagnosed with angina has said she cannot take kids for 8 days (1yr old and 3yr old) whilst he and the SIL jet off to Hawaii! Also he doesn't want my step mum (who has been with my dad for 27 yrs,) to be called granny to his 2 kids. Long story! When I was thro my dad's cat died too so he was really upset! What a weekend- then dh had to end up working sunday when we were planning a nice wee day together.

Well I'm off to dh's sis's this weekend from Friday to Sunday to St helen's so Julie I will be thinking of you Friday but won't find out til I get back Sunday/Monday how it all went xxx I had midwife appt today. She put the probe on my tummy so we could hear heartbeat and baby was protesting with 2-3 strong kicks! Dh so my tummy move! He/she is a little rascal!

Bye for now all! xxx

[souris]

OMG Lis, I am so so so sorry ... and so ashamed!!
I never meant to ignore you. It is just so ,well me... I dont think and forget things.
I am sorry if I hurt your feelings, please believe that it was not on purpose...
I do think of you and your lil one (and I still think it is a boy!) and I am sorry if you had a rough week with family!

Please accept my apologies!

Hugs to all
I am off to bed now

I am not sure about my test date , the clinic forgot to tell me and I cant remember if it is 12 or 14 days... so it will be on the 6th or 8th! (but I will test before

[Lis]

Hi Souris

Thankyou for replying - I was so worried I had done something to upset you ... I'm so glad I haven't!. That's all I really wanted to check. No worries Glad we are A OK xxxx

You take care of that fighter embie and rest up xxx

[Kate21]

Hello girls!

As I'm on half term I haven't had access to a decent laptop, hence I've popped into school to post!!

Julie - I bet you can't wait until Friday, it will all be worth it though! Let us know how the little beanie is!

Souris - how's the 2WW going? Are you staying in France or going back to Dubai? My brother has just been posted back out there with his company, although he's not sure how long he will be there for. Like he said its better than Baku (Azerbijian). Keep the PMA going

Nickie - good luck today, let me know how you get on. I think I would keep quiet about trying for a baby, just my opinion tho. Even with this new job of mine (that I will hopefully get), I wouldn't tell them if I fell pregnant before the interview. They do know about my tmt but I think if you tell them it puts a different slant on things.

Jen - how's you? Hope DH is doing ok? Men are awful at being sick, either the virus has got stronger as its been passed on to them, or if we get it after them its got weaker - either way we can never be as sick as them!! Its all exciting for the tmt in the summer tho, bet you can't wait.

Lisa - how's you? Sounds a bit complicated with your brother, but I think your mum is right to say no to looking after your brother's children. It would be hard enough for someone who is totally healthy, let alone someone with angina. Does he not want to take them on holiday with him?

Lucy - my SIL offered to be a surrogate for me, just to carry it not to use her eggs. I seriously considered it, she was even going to come over and stay in England for a year to do it. however, she's too old, so its a no go. I would have done it tho if it meant having a baby. At the end of the day you will be its mum and nothing would take that away. Go with what your heart says.

Gail, MLG - hope you guys are ok?

As for me, the weekend away was good. The weather did ruin it a little bit because the games involved getting wet and we did get cold. I think my mate enjoyed herself, she was very quiet on the Saturday night, as if she didn't want to be there or do anything. I think she might have just been nervous (at least I hope so!!). I also found out on the weekend that another of my close uni friends is pregnant, however it is totally unwanted! Neither my friend of her DH want children and they did consider getting rid of it, but she's changed her mind. He however still doesn't want it!! How come life is so unfair?

My acu seems to have got my cycle back on track, so tmt will definitely be at the end of July with a test date around the middle of August! Her's hoping its the ONE!!

Catch you later
Kate

[souris]

Hi Kate

just a quick post. I am going back to Dubai on the 10th. Is your brother in Baku? I was leaving there for 2 and half year and I loved it!! Some people dont like the place, but for me it was heaven! I rather be in Baku than Dubai! And if we go aheaad with adoption, it will be from there!

Sorry about your friends... I know how upsetting it is and yes, I am sure August test date will be the one for you!!

Will post more later

Hi Girls

Hope you're all OK?

Souris - How is the 2ww going? Hope you're OK? I think the AF type pains you’re getting are a good sign.! You take it easy, not long now till test date.. wishing you a BFP.

Nicki - Hope you're OK, I got your email about the petition, I am going to log on after this and sign it, sorry haven't had chance yet... How did the interview go today, hope it went OK? When will they let you know.? Hope you weren't too nervous.! I have a councelling appointment on 6th June to discuss Egg Donor. I'm sorry you're Bro's partner didn't agree to be a donor for you and DH.

Lisa - How's you huni? I'm sorry you're having a bit of a stressful time, families eh? I think your mum is right though not to look after your bro's kids, I know families help each other out but if you're is poorly she doesn't need it, how is she feeling now with her anxiety cos I know that can be quite bad, hope she's doing OK.! What is your due date anyway? I think you'll be having a boy.... are you and DH set on names yet? Have you bought your pram? I know you were looking but they were all really expensive.! Take Care sweetie.x

Jen - How are you? How's Adam doing? Is he feeling any better? So all bloods are done now then? Aug will be here before you know it. I can't believe its 1st June tomorrow already, where has this year gone.? What you up to this weekend? You asked me a question in one of your posts about my sis offering her eggs to me and if she'd be a surrogate, she is just offering her eggs but for me to carry the baby, She would def be a surrogate but I think with my eggs..... Take Care x

Julie - How are hun? Good luck for tomorrow, not that you'll need it, bet you're so excited aren't you? You've been waiting for this day for ages and it’s finally here. Can't wait to hear all about it, ooohhhh you'll be seeing your gorgeous baby tomorrow, I'm excited for you... Are you still feeling sick?

Kate - That was very kind of your SIL offering to be a surrogate, does she have children? Would you consider doing EG donor at any stage, not that you'll need it because you will be getting your BFP in the summer hols...! Glad you enjoyed the hen do.. Its hard isn't it when friends tell you they are preg and oh my god not to want it, that is like sticking the knife in and turning it... a girl at work told me today she is going to keep having a baby until she has a girl (she has 3 boys and is only 26) I just thought, yes must be nice to even have one.... Anyway hun you take care.

Gail - How you doing? Not long for you to go now? Hope you're OK?

As for me, back at work now, went back on Tuesday. My interview is on Monday at 3.30pm but I'm in a bit of a dilemma because I have seen another job I really want to go for in the same company with a lot better prospects and if I got the job I'd be working towards a CIPD diploma which I would love to do, but what do I do if I get offered this job on Monday, do I tell them I'm interested in another job and that I’ve submitted an application form or what? I wouldn't want to let anyone down, the closing date for this new job I've seen isn't until 6th June. If I turn the other one down and don't get new one I'll miss out on both. Hope that makes sense.

Everything else OK with me, had a bit of a bad night Sun night because I'd spent the day with my sis her 2 children and my bro and his 2 children and there was me with NO children, it really brought it home, I kept looking at how happy they were and it really hurt, not that there happy but because I might never get that.....

Anyway girl’s best go....

Love to you all

Julie will be thinking of you tomorrow hun.

[nicolamark]

[Julie2039]

Hi

Sorry not got time for personals.....NIKKI/LUCY - Hope interviews went well and Monday goes well xxxxxxx

Had scan - it was AMAZING. Didn't hear the heart beat but it was flickering away. I have got a pic. Sooo small. 8 weeks + 1 day. (15mm). It was lovely and have finally accepted that it is for real.

I also have another sac with a flickering heartbeat at 6 weeks 0 days. They don't expect anything will come of it as it is so underdeveloped and expect it will absorb or I will have a bleed. I have to have a rescan in 2 weeks.

I am soooo happy at my thriving baby I am not sure how i am to react about this. May be I need grounding........I thought it doesn't matter as long as big baby is healthy which it is but then it does matter a bit. We arent sure what to hope for on my rescan in 2 weeks. i.e. it has gone and mother nature devised it that way or it is still there but tiny and unwell!!! I know the chances are it wont be there and I cant help feeling a little sad.

Such wonderful wonderful news but typically something holding me back from totally celebrating. Hope you understand. i am extremely grateful for my situation and am scratching my head!! I am however at the moment telling people I have one thriving miracle xx

xxxxxxxxx

[souris]

Lucy, what a dilemma about the job... Why does it have to be so complicated...I honestly dont know what you should do but wish you the best whatever you decide.
Sorry to hear about your sunday night... I know how you feel, I tend to be very bitter and I still cannot look at pregnant woman...how stupid is that. I am sooo happy that none of my friends are pregnant because it would make things so hard. It will happen Lucy, I know it is hard to believe and think+ all the time but I know you will have your family. Bug hugs to ya!

JULIE!!!! CONGRATULATIONS! You must be thrilled. Sorry about tiny baby, and you have all the rights in the world to feel sad. I hope that the scan in 2 w will show that he is a fighter and that he has catch up with big healthy baby.
For the big strong boy/girl, what a great size!! You did a good job!

hugs to all
will be back laterxxx

[luby]

Hi Girls

Julie - You're post brought tears to my eyes, wow 2 little babies, how wonderful, I really hope and pray the other tiny babie is a fighter and is just a slow starter and by your next scan he/she will of caught up with his/her big brother/sister. You have every right to be feeling sad. Lets hope you're next scan brings some good news.... You take Care darling...

Nicki - Any news on job front yet? I have decided to do same as you hun, I will go for my interview on Monday, if successful, accept and the still go for the other interview if I get shortlisted, If I get offered the job then I will accept and have to tell the other team I'm very sorry but I've been offered another post... the second one I'm going for though will be tough competition so not getting my hopes up.. I really hope you get to hear something soon... What you up to this weekend..?

Souris - Thanks for the positive words, it is hard when everyone around you seems to be pregnant or just had a baby, I must hear of someone everyday who is either preg or just had a baby, but hay like you say my day will come... How is the 2ww going? Are you still getting those cramps.?

Just been out for a curry with DP, it was lovely, going to chill out tonight with a bottle of wine...

So then are you all watching BIG BRO again - what is going on with just all women, they will be putting some guys in soon surely... so then who likes who so far..?????

Love to ya all
Lu
