hello my lovely ladies!!!
ooohhh, lots of positive vibes on this in the last couple of days!!! yey!!
carolyn - woooooooooohhhhhhhooooooooo fantastic news on bringing your embies back!!! and also good news that you wont be on a full 2ww...more like a "nearly 2ww"...every day less helps! hope you're resting and get good news soon about your soon-to-be-frosties. sounds like you had some great embies there! same as nimble, i'm very intrigued as to all the stuff they've given you...when you feel up for it i'd love to hear what everything is for. but in the meantime rest, and we'll see you here soon! (and dont worry about work!!!)
aunty - hey hun!!!! thanks for being so excited for me. it certainly does bring back memories!! lets just hope this time with a different outcome though!

great that you're getting excited about moving...you poor thing, i'm sure it must be getting you down at times! not long now though. my god, i was laughing so much about your comment about sam and the paint!

warm, sophisticated and you get sleeping in a room that out shines the sun!!! hahahaha....

hope you get it all sorted hun! would love to see some pictures when its done! oh, and no probs about charity!! (oh, and would you believe we still havent had the second mortgage through to pay for our 2nd try!!! the solicitor is mucking us around big time so i've pt in a complaint and things are moving a bit quicker now!)
pequele - hey hun, sorry, cant help on the IUI i'm afraid as we were never offered that option. we were told to go straight to ICSI as dh's sperm count is too low for IUI. best of luck though...not long to go!!
JB -hey hun!! love your posts, they're always so chirpy! (sp) thanks for the good luck wishes on the stimming. i've been on and will be again on puregon. 150. i didnt have problems stimming as such but had lots of immature eggs so ended up with only 5 mature eggs. will push them this time to leave me an extra day as i think they collected me too early. so hoping to get more and then maybe some frosties!? sorry AF is still playing you up but glad you're feeling better with it all. hope she sorts herself out soon for ya! and oohh, how exciting, only 2 weeks to go!
welshbugger - hey hun! love it that you've been in pjs all weekend! we all need that every now and then! i'll give dh a big hug from you (bless ya)...hhmmm, not sure what ive done to him!

he is older than me, maybe i'm killing him off slowly....

only joking...more like "nite nite darling, feeling knackered from work and not feeling like it what with all these hormones all over the place and me being prodded forever more down there...."

lol...sorry about confusing you about the days off thing. i was writing stuff down as i was thinking it so it didnt make sense. i needed to book all my lieu time and annual leave that i had left yesterday before the middle of august...have decided to take off next tuesday (have D/R test at 8 in the morning and thought i might as well book the rest of the day off), have booked off the thu and fri before the anticipated week of EC, and have booked the whole week of anticipated EC week off as sick (told them i'm having a minor gynae procedure done on mon 6th, which isnt lying! and said i'd need all that week off and potentially some of the following depending on how i feel). so i'm all sorted with work!

phew, sorry for the long post but since you asked...

so for the list (not sure how much you want to know in advance) but next app is on the
24th july (next tues) which is D/R check. then get results after 3pm on the 25th and if i'm d/regged ok, will start stimms on the
26th, first follie scan on the
3rd aug with anticipated EC and ET week commencing
6th Aug. oh my god, it's all going so quick! anyway, hope you got your house sorted out after leaving your daughter on her own!

xx
jen1d - fantastic news that they have found someone!! woohoooo!!! i'm so pleased for you as you needed a bit of good news to pick you up! not quite sure how you can be "past counselling stage", surely counselling is never too late?!? anyway, good luck for thursday and let us know how you get on!
nimble - hey hun, how you're doing?? aaahhh, mauritius!!!! sounds lovely. definitely on my list of places to visit! we'll have to get together before you go! thats 2 people now that have mentioned about what am i doing to dh (you and
becky!)

told ya, i'm killing him off slowly by the sounds of it! (not!!!) yeah, great news about charity! give your hubby a slap on his wrist for me...fancy having that extra BIG pint!!

bless him!! what are your plans now if you dont mind me asking. dont worry if you're not ready to discuss them! xx
angel - welcome back and hope you catch up with us all soon! get ready for the emotional rollercoaster when you read all the posts! but we're all on a positive vibe at the moment so you've come back at the right time! lol. read you soon!!
rachel - so sorry to hear about your dh's step gramp...send him cyberhugs from me (and you!). hope it all goes as well as can be expected! x
gill - hey, sorry to hear about the possibility of abnormalities. its something that ive been wondering about just lately as i'm wondering what the chances are of dh's sperm having abnormalities. anyway, tough call but sounds like you know which way to go. whatever you decide it sounds like you have your dh behind you, which is great!!! and you'll also have us right behind you!
hi to everyone else!!! i'm all good, d/r still and go in for my d/r test next tuesday. (more detailed stuff is in my post to becky...

) cant believe how quickly time is flying! have been d/r for 2 and a half weeks already and less than one week to go till my test!! OMG!! i remember it flying last time, next thing i'll know it'll be time for EC and ET! anyway, still feeling ok and definitely much better than last time. side effects arent as bad as last time and my D/R AF was absolutely fine (and still is actually) whereas last time it was a killer. think i'm more relaxed (to the point where i forgot to sniff yesterday evening, turned the alarm off and then forgot about it, and remembered over an hour later!

) anyway, enough from me!
sorry about the long post!!! but good luck and sticky baby dust to all!!
