Awaiting Treatment

[Jen1d]

Hi girls

Just want to thanks you all for your kindness, have been struggling so muxh this time and i'm still raw and emotional but i'm a tough cookie so will get through this crap and go get my last 2 frosties.

Just got a tx from Jen, she is fine. So hope us IM girls start to get some bfp's now.

Shantala - So pleased your fine and the baby is ok--dont those midwifes know we have had enough heart syopping moments---i demand no more of them. I will be honest, you ticker doesnt bother me but i just look at and hope i can use it one day, just makes me think a bit.

Carolyn - Enjoy your barmitzvah, get those knees up and dance the night away. Hope th espotting has stopped.

Gill - How you doing? Nervous for Tue, thinking of you.

Becks - More crap on your site, hope you get it sorted soon. I did find the photos, they were lovely. Nosied at Shantalas wedding---kept tht quiet that she is a stunner, think we should stop her logging on lol.

Lara - Hope your feeling ok?

icsi - Thanks for keeping us all posiitve, how are you though?

Jackie - Both of us on the wait for Dec, it feels like years away eh?

Wishful - What you up to? Hope your feeling a bit better?

Jayne - sounds like things are going to be good this time--bfp her you come.

Pequele and Sq - Hope you girls are ok, know what your going through just now and i pray you get lovely news--what a Christmas that will be.

Unformtunately dh is working this morning then i start at 3 on a dreaded sleepover, so dont finish until 3.30pm tomorrow afternoon. I am not looking forward to it as its so stressful just now--the kids are being brats, plus we have 4 new staff and the consitency in the unit has fallen. We have a team building day on Wed and some ass kicking will have to take place. Wish i could just chill in my pj's with X-Factor blaring.

Shift last night wasn't to bad as i was on with two staff who have been there quite a few years so we were able to chill. Sorted out the Xmas rota but sure someone will moan. Then got a call from John, (ex keychild--like a son) he was out with his mates and although not drunk, was tipsy. Anyway he made my night and brought a smile (difficult at the moment), he kept saying he loved me so much and is glad he found me. I kept laughing as he as he only get so emotional when he has had a pint. Anyway it made me realise we are both so lucky to find each other and although i want my own child, i have one alrady and know i can adopt and love another child like my own, but it has to be young so we can bond well and not an older child.

Anyway will stop muttering on, enjoy your weekend,

Love Jen x

Now look after yourself and let Ad take really good care of you.

Much love and baby dust

Jen your ex key child sound like he really loves you you have so much love to give and soon you will be holding your very own baby has you deserve it so much.

Shantala sorry you had a bit of worry at your scan stupid midwife but your pic is really good it looks like a baby now i cant wait for my next scan i'm going to hire a doppler this week so i can hear babys heart beat when i want haylies baby is due this week so will let you know what she has.

Carolyn not long till you finish them pills and get on until the next stage then you can follow jen b with a BFP how is dh feeling about it all or doesnt he mind .

[beachbaby]

Hi ladies, just a quick one from me.

Jenbabes, congratulations on being Pupo!! take good care of yourselves.

veryone i am thinking of you all, and hope you are all feeling well. baby dust to you all.

As for me scan went ok, and am now on oestrogen tablets 3 per day, increasing to 4 on thursday. go back to check my lining on Friday, so transfer will be Tuesday or Wednesday 30/31 October. Freaky as my first FET last year was one day ahead to the date as this current cycle. So do i go for transfer on the same date or ask for a different date so as not to jinx anything? I am taking the week off work too, except the monday as giving staff the day off so i can have the whole week with DH too.
speak soon, watching the gread prix
Jayne

[nimble]

hey ladies, i just thought I would pop in and say hi

Jen - just wanted to say how sorry i am for you and know how you are feeling right now. You will get your own very soon, just don't give up hope.

JB - PUPO well done, will def check back in soon to see the results.

Shantala honey - omg can't wait to see you next week, hope there's a wee bump to show me!

Becky - sweetie, I've read about your nightmare and really hope that you can sort it out soon. Hows things at home?

Carolyn - hey, so you are becoming an IM girl then! Thats great news, I disappear for a few months and there you go off to spain. I haven't gone through all the previous posts but it sounds like they found a prob with DH swimmers?? Good luck xx

Rachel - 14wks - wow, time has gone so quickly. Hope you and bump are doing ok. Good luck with the b/test on Friday.

Not much to report from me!! We had the most fabulous holiday back in Sept and then back into full swing at work and non stop since. However we have to start thinking about when we go for our next round of tmt. Because of work, no time is good and I'm on the side of going prior to xmas, however DH thinks that things will quiten down a bit after xmas - but i'm not so sure. It will only be a couple of mnths til the new terminal opens so me thinks it will only get worse! The NHS tmt is only valid until end of Mar 08 so doesn't give us much time. The last EC at our clinic is 7th Dec and with my cycle I know I won't be ready in time so will have to go Nov. If we leave it until after xmas, again cos of my cycle I won't get in for Jan so only leaves Feb/Mar. Decisions, decisions, decisions

So with all this going on, it seems that I'm back on the IVF train yet again.

Hi to all those that I haven't met before and to those that I've missed

take care

Nimble xx

[gill12]

Hi

Sorry I have been MIA , been very busy decorating etc plus laptop was poorly and only got it back today. Cant believe how much has been happening since I've been missing.


Angel- Sorry you've been having such a difficult time. It took me a while to get my head round it too.Thinking of you hun x

Su & pequele- Hope you are both doing well ok on your 2ww. Know its a very difficult time, hope its going quickly for you. I've got everything crossed and Im sending you both lots of sticky baby dust xxx

Beckster- So sorry you are still having trouble with your messages/posts hope you get some sense soon. {{{HUGS}}}

Jayne- Hope you are feeling better now after your virus. Glad the scan went well, hope you have a great week off. x

Jen1- Glad you are starting to feel a little better and stronger, its always a good sign when you start to think of the next tmt. Hope work hasnt been too bad. Take care babe x

Carolyn- Not long now babe, only 2 more days of bc pills. Hope that you are feeling ok and that you had a great time at the barmitzvah. I will start to jigg so af comes on time so you can start those patches asap! x

Wishfull27- Know you have a hard and tough decision ahead, thinking of you x

Rachel- So glad you've got your car back at long last! Sorry its not quite right but it must be great to have your freedom back.Hope you are ok and resting as much as you can. x

Jackie- Hope you've had a good week off, sounds like you've been making the most of the lovely weather we've been having x

Shantala- Great to hear from you, you shouldnt feel guilty about posting. I love to hear how youre getting on and see your ticker. Sorry you're still suffering with m/s hope it passes soon. What a nightmare not finding the baby! must have been so scary for you even though you knew he/she was there. Hope the next one goes a lot smoother. x

Icsigirl- You always sound so upbeat and possitive! Wish I could be like you x

Nimble- Great to hear off you, glad you enjoyed your holiday. Good luck with your decision about when to start tmt, hope you are happy with whatever you decide. x

JenB- Congratulations babe you are now PUPO! I am so happy that you got some great embies and 2 frosties too!!!! I have everything crossed for you and I'm sending loads of sticky baby dust to you too. xxx

Hi to those I've missed hope you are ok,
Take care everyone
Lots of love
Gill xxx

[shantala]

hey ladies

jen1d - thanks hun. i'm glad the ticker, etc doesnt upset you. i know you've been having a really tough time so i was really worried about you. and you're right, you ARE a tough cookie so you'll get through this! thanks for letting us know about jenb. thats great news! lol re stopping me from logging on. becky doesnt need any encouragement, ok! far from a stunner by the way! do you have a myspace account now???

JB - CONGRATULATIONS hun on being PUPO!!!!!!!

squeezan - not long till you test now!!!! how you keeping up?

lara - yeah, stupid midwife!! tell me about it. as if it isnt all nerveracking enough! wicked about the doppler! let me know how you get on! a friend of mine (who i met through another ivf website) is a week ahead of me and she bought a doppler. and she listens every day. i've decided against one but only because the baby is laying right in my back so i'm worried i wouldnt hear it and then i'd freak!!! but if they managed to find yours straight away with a normal abdom scan you should have no problems. how exciting! ooohh, and thanks for keeping me up to date with hayley! thats great news!

jayne - wow, FET next week?!! thats great!! not sure if you should have it on the same day or a different day. hhmmmm.... whatever your gut instinct tells you. at the end of the day if its meant to be it will be! oh, good luck my dear! so excited for you!

nimble - hey hun, good to read you! cant wait to meet up on sunday but please remember what i said. if you really dont feel like it (even on the day) then please let me know. sorry to hear you're so busy at work....oh god, and then of course you have the new terminal opening soon! so i see why its a bit tricky to decide when to have tmt....we'll have a good chat on sunday!

gill - cant believe i missed you out on my previous post! so sorry hun! sorry to hear your laptop (aka life line?! ) has been poorly...but glad you're back! what you decorating?? hope it's going well.

hi to everyone else!!!

[ICSI GIRL]

LADIES!!!! HAPPY MONDAY TO YA'LL!! (not from the "south", nor do i speak w/ a southern draw ---- but i think is fun to to say "ya'll" ) Anyway --- i'll apologize now because i can only stop in for a QUICKIE!! (something dh loves -- ha, ha!! )

Anyway....FAB weekend ---- weather was sunny and 70'ish, UNBELIEVABLE for october in MI!!!

had to atleast say YEAH FOR JENB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so very excited for you dear........it is YOUR time

also dyin' to know how steph (peq) managed the weekend in CALI w/out pee sticks???

shantala --- i love hearing from you! glad to hear everything coming along........and NO WAY does your ticker offend!! it's LOVELY!! it gives us all HOPE

to answer your questions (couple of you asked) --- yeah, i'm pretty much an overall positive, upbeat kind of gal.........is just my demeanor NOW, that's NOT to say i don't have bad days.....cuz i do......but life is so much better when you're HAPPY i try really hard to not let things that are out of my control have an affect on my attitude.......i've got the whole "what can ya do about it??" ---and if your answer is NOTHING -- -than why waste your energy on getting bent about it????? I try not to!! That's why this whole IVF roller coaster really took a toll on me......i'm SO not used to having something so "big" out of my control!! I was a-ok until mid 2ww and then i had a complete meltdown Am SO hoping that because i know what to expect now --- that it won't be AS bad for round #2.......ladies -- anybody that can attest to that?????

HELLO TO ALL YOU LOVELY LADIES I MISSED!!!!! Promise i'll do full round of personals later......(probably not today....... have LOTS of work to do!!! just sucks for a monday.....don't they know i have POSTING to do???? ha, ha, ha, ha!!!)

[squeezan]

Hi Ladies
Sorry I've not posted much lately. Been trying to keep busy and pass the time but have been looking in on you.

JenB


Shantala - Good to see you back. Don't worry about your ticker. I love reading the caption to see how the baby's growing. Must have been really scary when they couldn't find baby - glad everything was ok in the end.

Peq - How was the wedding? Saw on the news about fires in California, were you affected? Still keeping away from those evil pee sticks? Must admit I'm finding it hard!

Becky - I can't believe you're still having such a nightmare with your posts. Really hope you can get it sorted soon.

Sorry not many personals, need to go get dinner ready. Not that I really feel like eating. Been feeling weird - still nauseous and still getting cramps and twinges, really lightheaded at work today too. Don't want to read anything into it but its so hard!
I get through the first week really well then kept busy at weekend but today has gone so slowly and I just know the next 2 days are really gonna drag. Its really wearing me down at the moment. If it doesn't work this time I'm thinking I'll do one more iui next month then take some time off over xmas and look at my options. Maybe I should consider ivf next year or maybe I should get them to increase my dose so I get more than 1 follie - they seem happy with one but I'm not anymore.
Will try to catch up more later
Love to everyone
Su

[Jen1d]

SO GLAD YOU ARE HOME SAFE AND RESTING.

Shantala - No pictures of me thanks--dont want the website shut down

Nimble - Good to here from you, glad your ok.

Carolyn - Enjoy your last day of pills, patches here we come

Gill - Thinking of you

Hi to you all.

Well today was awful. Had first aid training and the teacher asked if the girl she was about to use as a model was pregnant, she said no but another woman said she was. She looked over 40 and when she announced it, it floored me. I felt myself getting emotional and after she wittered on for a few minutes about it, i went out to the toilet and sobbed for the unfairness, this shit life has handed to me. Yep, it was all me, me, me and i felt shit. I then didnt want to look at her and just got on with the class but at lunch time the teacher started chatting to her about how many weeks she was and maternity leave etc so i walked out of the canteen. Then later at the next break, i overheard her telling another girls that she was 13 weeks and was having problems as she just wanted to smoke and couldnt give up------selfish ***** nearly got an earful so i left the room yet again and my colleague noticed i was a bit annoyed. I had a chat with her but calmed down for the rest of the day. However as soon as i saw dh, i sobbed.

I just want to give him a baby and hate how ivf is making me feel. I am so scared i will have to go through life feeling so unhappy and miserable if this never works and the odds aren't looking to good.

Sorry to bring the mood down but i cant help feeling so sad even though i am trying to get on with things and putting on a face. Everone is now 'back to normal' with me but that even makes me annoyed as its as if they think it over until the next cycle.

Ok will go away and search for my smilie face

Love Jen x

Love Jen x

[jen babes]

Hey I am home...

thank you for updating me Jen1 you are are star x x x and thanks everyone for all the sparkiles thay are lovely x x

still doesn't feel real that i am actually PUPO!!!!

but i am gonna look after myself, and DH has warned me no housework or lifting even wlaking the dog cos i have to rest. To be honest i am actually totally shattered since we had ET...like all the relief of finally getting there came to the fore and i could relax...so have slept most fof saturday after ET then went a looking around barcelona Sunday. Looking through the the shops and things at the waterfront while sitting in the sun most of the afternoon in a lovely cafe. wee flew back yesterday and had a 4 hr drive home...so had a early night.
hte next few days i will be quiet on the boards as i only have wi fi at home and don't like using it around implantation time...
so really no personals as i will post longer later in the week. x x

Su will check to see your test though...in 2 DAYS TIME!!!!! Good luck x x x


love to you all and thanks again jen for your postingof updates x x x

love
jen b

[Angel505]

Jen - Congrats on being a PUPO. Take care of yourself, do nice things and look forward to wonderful news.

Jend - so sorry that you are going through so much pain. Don't know how else we can help other than being there. Rant and rave as much as you please. You are such a strong person, and you just have to deal with things in your own way.

Gill - good to hear from you again.

Hi to everyone else. Sorry no time for personals. Based at client site and everyone can see my screen so I can't get online as often as I'd like to.

quick question for anyone who knows. I have never been through an IVF cycle and was confused by something. I was told I start downreg on Day 1 (whatever that means!!!). The clinic happens to be closed on Day 10 when superovulation would start (I think ) So I was told that they would postpone superovulation so that the scan can be done on day 13 -14. Does anyone know if this is normal practise? Would it affect my chances of being successful?
