Right, hello ladies!!! I cant sleep so ive decided to just crack on with catching up….about 7 pages would you believe it….so get ready for a long one! Apologies in advance. :oops: :lol:

Firstly, thank you all so so so so so so so much for your support. It really cheered me up in hospital being able to read all your get well messages! I really appreciate it! :D :D

Secondly, personals……


Aunty – I’m so so sorry but I’ve emailed you hun. Everybody has said it and its so true, you have been unbelievable support on here so now its time for us to support you. You know where we are if you need anything. Big hugs!! Oh, and you know what…a friend once said to me “god only throws at us what we can deal with”. Although I’m not religious I really liked that saying and found that is has helped me in hard times. Maybe it will help you a little bit too.

Lara – how are you feeling? Cant wait for you to have your scan…I wonder when it will come through?! Sorry to hear about your dreams. I’ve had really weird dreams for the last 2 days and some are quite scary…hope they’ll get better soon. Great to hear that your boss is being so supportive. I’m not sure when I’m gonna tell my boss yet…think I’ll wait till my scan next week and then go from there. To cut a long story short, she’s not a baby person (my boss) and I’ve not been there long so not sure how she’ll take it! Gulp! Lol. Not that I’m complaining….i couldn’t really give a s**t what she says. This is more important than anything! :lol:

Carolyn – check you out with all your glittery images everywhere. I’m quite impressed! :lol: :D That means you can set up a myspace page soon so we can finally put a face to your name! or maybe we can get you to work out how to put a picture on photobucket… :D . was reading your post to the woman who got her BFP on her 8th attempt. And when I saw your post that you’re starting your 5th it really made me realise how much you’ve been through. Don’t get me wrong, I know you’re starting your 5th soon (I’ve been through 3 with you, well, sort of) but when you said it like that, I really thought wow. Good on you. I really take my hat off to people going again and again. Don’t get me wrong, I can understand more than anything why you would….i’m a fighter and don’t give up either. And I would have gone and gone again but its still a lot to deal with. Just want to say hat off to you and others being persistent. It WILL happen for you! Oh, and just looked on your ticker….18 days…wow, that’s not long at all. You getting excited?? I know I am for you!! Oh, and any sign of book 3 yet?? They’re taking the micky aren’t they?! :roll:

Squeezan – wow, you’re right back on track again, aren’t you. Cool! So sorry about your BFN. Hows it all going?? How are the menopour injections going??

Jen1d – you got your own post earlier ;-) just hang in there hun! No problem at all…you come back here for as much assurance as you like!

Gill – OMG only 2 days till ET for you. That’s so exciting! Cant wait for you to join jen on the 2ww!!! Sounds like you had a good time with your nieces!

JackieG – thanks for popping in! how you doing?? I see you don’t have long for your next cycle. How exciting!!! Best of luck!!

Andreak – right a proper welcome!!!!!! (rather than at a bottom of a post in a ps) I know you’ve had becky for support, which is invaluable but she’s a bit mental sometimes so at least you get some “normal” support here! Hehehehehe….only joking! Wow, 37 years of friendship and now you can share this together, that must be great. Never done IUI so cant help much but we do have a couple of other ladies on here doing IUI (squeezan and pequele…don’t think there’s anyone else) so I’m sure they can help if you have any questions. Well, best of luck and lots of sticky baby dust!

Pequele – how you doing hun? Lol about the straw in my belly button. They did say that they would drain me if I get too big but they didn’t need to in the end. Phew! I met a lady in there at the end who had severe OHSS and had to be drained and they stuck a 15 inch needle in her belly! Ouch! am I glad I avoided that! Whats happening with your cycle at the moment??

Welshbugger – hey hun, how you doing?? The list is looking fab as usual. You’re doing such a great job on it! (and babyblue and jen…) Thanks! X

Beachbaby – hey hun, how are you?? Well done you on the weight loss! That’s fab!

Karia – welcome back…can completely understand about the break…we all need that at times to gather ourselves again. Not long till you start your next one…woohoo!!!

Nimble – hey hun, thanks! You must be on your lovely holiday by now. Hope you’re having a great time and see you when you get back! Cant wait to hear all about it!

Babyblue – not long till you start your BCPs now! You getting excited? One step closer to that BFP then!

Jenbabes – heeeyyy! How’s you?? Fantastic news on starting your BCP pills a week ago! You’re on your way babe! Woo!

Js – thanks hun…you must be in your 2nd trimester now?? How exciting! Make sure you pop in now and again and let us know how you get on.

Angel – good to hear from you and thanks for the congrats. I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been having a tough time and hope you start feeling better soon. Hugs! X

Nerms – hey hun!!!! How are you? Long time, no hear!!! Good on you for going for it again. Cant wait for you to come and join me! ;-) either through your natural 2ww or through another cycle!

Nickyz – welcome to the board!!!! You’ll find lots of support here and if you have any questions in the meantime go ahead!

Icsigirl – thank you so much for popping in on me. I’ve left you a post on the july/august thread. X

Right, don’t think ive missed anyone. If I have please pop up and scream! Thank you all for welcoming me back. I’m feeling much better, especially since ive been at home. A good chinese and a good night sleep sorts everything out! Lol. My stomach is still quite big and I actually look pregnant (when its not a pregnant belly but an OHSS belly!). but its getting less and less sore, which is good. And I’m going back to work next week but I’m going back sort of part-time. My potassium levels got dangerously low in hospital so I have to go back to my doctors on Monday for a blood test to make sure they are back up. Then my scan on Thursday. Cant wait. I just want to see a heartbeat. I’m so scared we wont see one. Silly I know, but we just cant take anything for granted with all this! Apart from that, over the moon with my bfp, keep taking HPTs to make sure the line is still there….part of me still cant believe it! But I know one thing for sure, I couldn’t have done it without you all.

Lots of sticky baby dust to all of you!!

:lol: Hi girls

How you all doing?

Just wanted to wish Gill all the luck in the world and cant wait to hear all the great news about her embies and frosties :lol:

I'm ok, had a bit of backache yesterday, nothing much, then a few throbbing sensations and a couple of sharp twinges, had that this morning to but they dont last long. I know this week i am due af around Mon, Tue, Wed so i think i will get some af feelings. Strangely i feel calmer this time and have not started obsessing about 'pant checking' :roll: yet, but this 2nd week is always the worst. My last cycle i asked the clinic if i could continue the pessaries until the test date, which they usually dont do, they stop 4 days before test day. They allowed me to do this and i made it to test day, maybe thats why i feel less stressed (so far) as the amount of pessaries and patches i have to take with IM should stop the bleeding.
I had a little thought about doing a hpt on the morning of the 7th but dh has put his foot down---better let him get his way-----only once though :wink: Going out with Mum and dh for a meal and the sun is out :lol:

Have a good weekend

Love Jen x

Hi Ladies

Not sure I can catch up so comprehensively as Shantala but I will give it a go...........

Aunty – I cannot stop thinking of you. I shall be ensuring that I get myself across to My Space on a regular basis to see how you are doing. Big hugs

Shantala - it is great to have you back and on such good form. We missed you. Quite a few of us are 5th time around girls over here - Jen1d, Gill, JB and I are all at that point. Cannot believe that you have a scan next week. That must be so exciting. When I went to Aunty's page on my space, I think that I found you too. Can only possibly be one Shantala! Loved your montage of pics especially the ones from your wedding. You look so lovely. Might see if I can post a picture on the ivf photo bucket account. Then I will no doubt be subject to more mickey taking :roll: Book 3 has arrived. This one is specifically about Egg Donation and is proving very helpful for me. Don't worry about telling your boss. As you say, it just does not matter at all in the great scheme of things. She will just have to get on with it

Rachel – So pleased that you have a date for your scan now. Probably seems like ages away. Hope that it passes quickly. You must be so excited. Will you tell people after the scan or wait a little longer?

Squeezan – Wow. You got back on the roller coaster straight away. Brave lady. How are you doing?

Jen1d – twinges plus back ache sound good to me. Must be stuff going on down there. So hope that by next weekend, we will all be celebrating your BFP. Hope that you have a nice meal with your dh and your Mum. Hope that it helps pass a few more hours for you

Gill – Seems to have arrived all of a sudden for you. Can only imagine how it feels for you. Thinking of you and your dh all weekend. So hope that you are going to have a great bunch of embies and that ET tomorrow is going to go really well for you. Thinking of you babe. Cannot wait to hear the news

JB – Hope that you are having a great weekend. Sure that have friends to see you again. Any idea when you might hear from IM?

Nickyz – welcome to the thread! Hope that we can give you all the support that you might need. If you have questions then ask away as someone is bound to know the answer

Andreak – How are you doing? Hope that Becky is helping you as she helps all of us.

Beckster - what is going on with you? Hope that you are getting ready for all the activities that you have got lined up for the Autumn. How is the diet going? You started so well 1/2 stone. Slimmer of the week. Hope that you are able to keep it up. Any/all tips/advice welcome

Jayne- you have done really well on the weight loss too. Still shedding the lbs. How have you done this 'strict' week? Hope that AF shows on time and you can get started

Karia – Hope that we may be cycling around the same time. Guess it depends how long it takes to find me a suitable donor

Nimble – Hope that you will have a wonderful holiday. So jealous!

Babyblue – not long now until you get started with your BCPs

Angel – I am so sorry to hear you’ve been having a tough time and hope you start to feel better soon. I had a rather bad patch about 2 weeks ago but it now seems to have lifted

Hope I wrote to almost everyone but cannot read back any further. Sorry if I missed you. Did not mean too. Honest

No sparkles today - just serious chat! Hope that you are all having a good weekend. Supermarket and The Bourne film for me & dh last night. Film very good and well worth seeing if you like action movies. Had bloods taken at the hospital yesterday and hopefully this time they'll not forget to do blood group for me & dh. :evil: Copied all my notes (boy are there a lot) at work yesterday (interesting copying that with people around :roll: ). Packaged them up this morning to go to Barcelona. Have a back up copy to take with us - just in case. That is about it. Lost a few lbs (may be 3). Got an exercise trampoline and have been building up to about an hours work out. Done 5 times in the last week since we got it so just have to keep going.

Enjoy the weekend girls. Hope that it will be a super successful weekend for Gill and her dh.

Love
Carolyn
