Awaiting Treatment

[jen babes]

Hullo all

Sorry not been posting as we have had problems with our server!!!! It is driving me nuts As we don't know why it's not working.

I am at this moment in Glasgow staying at my sister been down for 2 days and now have only got access to the computer as her 3 kids are now at school !!!! So sorry it is short and sweet ... PS have missed you guys..jen/ Gill have been thinking of you both on your 1st appointments.

Have had a great time relaxing with my sis and especially the 2 botles of wine we tanked last night

On the ED front it has been a Nightmare trying to get in touch with Barcelona as computer is off line. DH has had to secretly post e mails at work to Barcelona...and delete them before anyone gets wind of our ED. ( just bothered about some of his work mates & gossip). We have our 1st appointment now booked as 3rd August ...Upset that we have to wait until then but adam can't get time off as he is covering for his managing directer the whole of July. BUT Excited now that we will get our 1st appointment that will hopfully give us the all clear to set up donor . So i presume it will be end of Sept /beginnng oct before ET???

I am off home tonight when my parents in law are coming to stay until Monday. Hopefully DH has sorted out our server and comp is back on line now! Off now to see my hairdresser ( been with her for 14yrs and wouldn't have anyone else let their paws & scissors near my locks ) I hope my nerves hold out to get my long shoulder blade length hair chopped into a trendy new laired bob. I had grown it for the wedding so i could get it put up. Now i can't wait to get it cut. But a bit nervous too!

Hi to you all sorry not time for personals

Keep the Faith Everyone x xlove to ya all

catch ya all soon once i have survived the parents in law...they are sweet really just exausting having them to stay!

Hi ladies, hope your all well?

Shantala, hope your feeling better and AF has finally arrived for you, we should all look into less stressful jobs, it might make the whole process easier.

Jen, so glad everything went well in bigb, we were there last year and had the best time ever. Starting in July, the time will fly by i'm sure.

rachael, thanks for the good wishes, sorry you had issues on your hols, hope your feeling better now. Hows the diet going? I am useless at the mo will be starting again after next weeks holiday. will go back to the gym as well.

Nimble, so glad the scan went well, i hope you are able to relax a bit now, hope work gets calmer soon.

Carolyn, hope your trip back was good, Dubai is on my list for a visit, don't know when i'll get there though!! Not long now to you starting again, you must be getting excited. take care and relax.


Gill, Hope DH is starting to feel better and getting used to the adjustments he has to make. My Sil has 4 injections a day, (she was 10yrs when diagnosed) and lives life to the full, 2 great kids as well. When do you go to B? hope you have a great time and your appointment goes as well as Jens. Good luck.

Angel, We are going on a cocktail bar crawl around all the top hotels, on the tuesday we are having a champagne flight on the london eye and then on to Gordon Ramseys restaurant for dinner. Wednesday we are going to a thai restaurant for dinner, an old haunt of ours when we lived down there. other than that we will play it by ear.

Sorry to everyone i've missed but DH nagging me to get back to work. will catch up mre later.
Take care ladies

Good Evening Ladies

Hope ur all keeping well ....

Beachbaby: Did u and DH get ur letter typed up and sent off to the board, im really pleased for u that u might have a lifeline to fall back on, i do hope and pray that they take ur case into consideration and that u get back on that list When will u find out the outcome? Good Luck xx

Jen: Wow! 60% sucess rate - thats brill hun, im so pleased that everything is going to plan for you. You must be so excited, also pleased that u managed to get some shopping in and some site seeing - but best of all, that u have ur meds and can start in July - it must be lovely to finally get there and check the place out - i hope ur taking plenty of pics to show us when u get home So when is ur AF due? What is ur schedule? Oh im so excited for you

Angel: Hope getting back to work wasnt too hard on u, its always the same once u have a few days off - i never feel like going back, especially in the sunny weather I do love the sun, but its killing me to be stuck in an office all the time, i was part time last year and was finished at 1pm so could enjoy the afternoons, but now i work untill 5pm and by the time i get home and put the tea on - my soaps are starting lol. The baby lark in work is because one of my collegues cant get a sitter at the moment and so she brings the baby into work, and im left looking after him all day - so annoyinig when my work is piling up and hers is withering away!! Its not every day, but last week was 3 full days, and its annoying me because im expected to do it - she comes into work with him in his car seat, puts him next to my desk then goes off to her other office and leaves him there without a word!!!! I just get on with it now, change his nappy, feed him etc, it might sound ideal for a woman who's dying for a baby, but its not honest, especially stuck in a small office all day with him.

Carolyn: Are u home yet hun? I hope so. I hope u had a good trip and that u can now concentrate on ur tmt - woooooo hoooooooo - i bet ur so excited, i know i am lol.

Jacks: Wow @ the baby scan How wonderful is that! Ive updated the list for u, im so pleased, happy and excited that everything went to plan - wot a miricle eh? (not that everything went to plan - just the miricle that u and DH did it on ur own) thats so great hun - saved u a mint load of money, and at least u had fun getting there I hope ur taking it easy, and no more at that gym young lady! U rest up, if u really feel the need to do summit, go for a stroll instead, walking is great exercise for u and the baby

BabyBlue: Just to let u know hun that tmt = treatment. Dont worry about not knowing, i was crap when i first started and there are still some that i dont now - it was only a few wks ago that i clicked on that tmi meant too much information lol - der im thick at times lol.

JB: Wooo hoooo hun, great to see u back, i was wondering where u had got to - there are a few whoo joined early on but have seemed to fizzled out now, i was hoping u wasnt going to be another one So, 3rd Aug it is for u then Are u going to the same place as Jen and Gill - u will get great infor from them as Jen is still there and Gill is soon to be flying out. Hope t all goes well with ur in laws and that they dont end up out laws by the end of their stay lol, have fun xx

Shantala: Hey lovely, hows you? Hope ur feeling better and have managed to go back to work (i think u must have gone back to work, its been quiet today lol) - what about ur AF, has she shown yet? Let us know when she does so we can get all excited for u too

Aunty: Did u read a few posts ago i was saying that i had searched back to all my old posts, well my first ever posting was me asking for help cos i was so down in the dumps and i was new to the site, and u were the FIRST person to reply to me, being ur usuall lovely self (Just tht i'd mention that s'all lol) Hows the packing going - dont tell me u still havent packed a thing yet lol. What color are u doing my room lol. Hope all is well with u, did i read somewhere that u was thinking of getting a dog? Any news on that yet? Maybe it was someone else, a spaniel wasnt it? Oh i dunno, maybe im losing the plot lol.

Rachel: Sorry AF is being an old ***** for u, cwtch up nice with a good book and a jar (hot water bottle) and she'll soon pass. Hope ur enjoying this lovely weather we are having. Hows the diet comming along, could u give me a few tips, im desperate to loose some weight - really desperate

Well ladies, i think thats about it from me, roll on tomorrow at 5pm - its the weekend Have fun.....

lots of love Rachel x x

[CarolynB]

Hi All

Missed you loads. It took up a few days of time in the tmt countdown which was good. Just looked at my ticker and it is down to 9 days. OMG. Cannot believe that I will start sniffing a week on Monday - did injections rather than sniffing when I down regged for my 1st cycle so that will be new for me. Seems like I have been having tests for ever and that my last tmt was years ago.

Anyway enough about me. So great to be at home and able to catch up with you all from the comfort of my own home.

JS - WOW. Starting tmt. I am so glad that you are on your way. Sounds like you are off to a good start. Will cross everything that you can lead the way with the tmt BFPs

Jackie - Hope that you are looking after yourself & not working too hard. I was so chocked when I read about the scan. Must be such a wonderful moment for you & dh

Rachel - thanks for your post for me hun. You are right. Nice to be back at home with dh. We have both been away a lot of late. We went out last night and it was nice just to walk down the street holding hands. Have been a bit testy since I got back so need to focus on being nice to him before I become a drug mad woman. How are you doing? How is the diet? Just read that you lost another 2lbs. You are sticking at it so well. How many dress sizes have you dropped? Hope that AF is not too awful - at least it is the weekend

Becky - Thanks hun. My dh is so cool about my shopping. He is like 'you go girl'. Isn't that so nice. He works in the fashion business (buys materials to sell to Top Shop and New Look) so is quite interested in it all for a bloke. He inspects it all and tells me what he thinks. Totally agreed with you - Loved the Apprentice (managed to video the right day this time - LOL). What an ending - thought that there might be a twist! How are you doing anyway? Really think that you should say something about the lady and the baby. It would drive me nuts. It is going to be especially hard when you are doing tmt so I would be tempted to say something sooner rather than later and before you are on the drugs! Then you can be perfectly calm and rational. I would just tell her that you are too behind with your work and that while you love it, you need to get up to date. Sounds easy right - when you are not the one having to say it!!!!!

So sorry that I think that I got muddled up between you Becky and Rachel in one of my posts from Dubai. Sorry. That is what comes of doing it too fast and not reading it before I posted!

Beachbaby - I am crossing my fingers and so hoping that they will look favourably on your case and put you back on the list. Do you have any idea when you might find out? Did you plan all that for your dh? That sounds so wonderful. Can I come too!!!!??? Dubai - interested to know why you fancy going there? Weird place in my mind. Fab shopping but it is like a mall in the middle of the desert!!!! Nice hotels and spas though

Jen1d - I am so pleased that you had a lovely break in Big B and that the clinic lived up too expectations. Awesome. You sound so up for it. Is it possible that our cycles will overlap a little? Sounds like you may be getting going whilst I am enduring my 4th 2ww!

Gill - it is great that Jen has been already and tell you all about it. Not long now until you go there too. How is your dh bearing up? It must be rough on him

JB - You'll be able to get the low down from Jen and Gill! Hope that you are having a nice weekend with the in laws

Shantala - How are things? I am super excited about Joseph and Grease this evening. Tough choice is which one to watch live so I can vote! It is so cool as videoed the semi finals and watched one on Thursday and one last night so the final has come around super quick for me! Think that I shall watch Joseph live as my dh hates that less. Then I can watch Grease in bed later!! We are going to have a b-b-q together if the rain stays away. He will cook for me - aarggghhh. Any idea on your dates yet hun. I want us to cycle together

Aunty - hope that all is on track for the move. Not long now until you will be settling into your new home

Hugs to everyone else.

Well I did not just work in Dubai. Managed to sneak off to a spa that my client owns on my last night - facial and massage which was teriffic. Managed to buy lots of fake bags - for me and as pressies. A friend of a friend (who writes a shopping column for a magazine - what a job!!!!) told me the best place to go. I would never ever have found it. Then you ask to see the 'best' fakes. When they know that you are not a spy/police then they take you out the shop, round the back, up into a loft and it was like an Aladdins cave - bags, belts, wallets. I nearly wet myself. I bought my dh a lovely fake Prada wallet for less than a tenner. Got myself a fake Louis Vitton, a fake Chloe Paddington in chocolate brown and a cheap fake Marc Jacobs in cream for the summer. I loved it!!!

So my travels are almost done. Frankfurt on Monday. Only the day but it is an early start (4am) and late finish (back at 10pm). ARGGGHHH. Then I am done with the travel. Next weekend having my middle sister to stay with my niece and nephew so they can visit Legoland (their Xmas pressie from me). My nephew is 2 at the start of July - bang in the middle of tmt - so this is a clever ploy to see them now. Will have my youngest sister here for a birthday tea on Sunday and Mike's family. Then I can go to ground for a month. Smart move - huh!!!!

So ladies I am a busy bee for the next 10 days but all this is so I have cleared the decks work wise and family wise for late June-early July. That is the plan anyway. If any more travel pops up then one of the guys that I work with will have to do. I think that I have earnt a break to focus on tmt. Calling it my Harley Street holiday with my dh!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a lovely weekend. I am going to!

Love to you all. So glad to be back.
Carolyn

Sorry my computer went mad and I double posted having thought that I lost the whole message! Oppss

[shantala]

Hi all

Well, still no signs of AF!!!! Ggrrr!! Thank you everyone for jigging for me!!

Beachbaby – fantastic news that you’ve got another possible opportunity. Has dh written that letter yet?? When will you hear??

Jen1d – hope that the flight home was ok. Wow, 60% chance. That’s brilliant! How exciting that you can start with your next AF in july!! Woohoo!! You must be getting so excited!

Angel – how has work been? I so know what you mean about having to do a full days work when you’ve been off. Its hard isn’t it. Bless you for trying to jig for me with your stitches. How are they now?? Are you less sore yet?

Lara – well done on ANOTHER 2lb!! way to go you!! You should be proud of yourself. We certainly are!! Oohh, Swindon today. That’s about 40 minutes from me! You should call in for a cuppa! I’m feeling better thanks!

Carolyn – hope you’re having a good time with dh and chilling out this weekend. Have you confessed to all the shopping yet?? Lol. Oh, only 9 days till you start d/r!! how exciting!!!

Nimble – heeeeyyy hun!! Have been thinking about you lots. How are you 3 doing?? Soooooo pleased you saw a heartbeat this time!! Aaaww!! Know what you mean about being hooked on BB! Lol

Pep – lovely to hear from you over here. Smarty socks….hehe….thanks for jigging away!! Oh, I just love your ticker!!

Jen babes – hey! Lovely to have you back! Sorry your computer was playing up! Sounds like you’re having a great time with your sister!

Welsh – hahaha….yes, I did go back to work, could you tell? nope, still no signs of AF. The bloody cow! Lol.

Js – the best of luck with stimms honey!! Grow follies grow!!

Hi to everyone else!! Sorry if ive missed anyone!! Have a good weekend everybody!

[shantala]

Carolyn – sorry, not sure how I missed your post. Mind you, I have been trying to post for the last hour, reading back, making a cuppa, dh leaving to take his motorbike in for an MOT, etc….

Anyway, glad you’re getting excited about starting sniffing soon! You said you injected rather than sniffed on your first cycle, what about your other 2? I take it you injected with those too?? Well, if you did, then the sniffing really isn’t that bad at all! Just tastes a bit nasty but apart from that its all fine! And easier to do!!

How cool that your dh works in the fashion industry and you had no probs bringing all that shopping home! Hehe

Glad you sorted your dilemma out for this evening…lol…I don’t want joseph, don’t know why actually, just never thought about it as grease was on. Cant wait to watch the grease final tonight though!! A BBQ sounds like a lovely idea! Hope the weather stays nice for you! No, still don’t know what my dates will be…..if AF shows after today but within the next week, then I will start downregging 21 days later, d/r check on 24th July, start stimms on 26th july and EC and ET w/c 6th Aug. if AF shows after next Saturday then everything will be a week later. (I’m lucky, my clinic posts the dates on the web) how will that fit in with yours?? Would be great to be cycle buddies again.

Right, better get off the laptop now and actually do some stuff….got to take my car in to get looked at as its playing up and then going to bingo with my mum! Lol
