Angie, I suppose the nearest we have is the 'january' sales which start on Boxing Day (Dec 26th - do you call it that?).
Yes, I think the 2ww is harder than the treatment itself - too much time with nothing productive to do. I like to be doing not waiting

It was about 10dpiui that my pma deserted me and its been really tough since then. No tears though - just feel like I want to scream and hit something every so often and really couldn't be bothered with work today

Jayne - thats fantastic news. You both must be over the moon. Congrats, and enjoy the next 8 months.
Su - best of luck for tomorrow. Keeping everything crossed for you.
Angie - that was some weekend huh? All set for Christmas already. Suppose you got the timing right though cause now you can take it easy and only have to think about your next cycle.
Nimble - hang on in there. You don't have too long to go before your test date.
Wishful - how was your first day back to work?
Jenbabes - you and DH seem to have done a lot of thinking. You've been so brave so far. Best of luck with your next cycle. You know we're all here to give you moral support.
Jend - Did you have a good weekend?
Carolyn - haven't heard from you. How are you holding up?
Steph - hope you feel better soon. When do you start your next cycle?
As for me, finally got the medication sorted after a long stressful journey!
My AF is due anytime now. I'm so apprehensive about it - especially the injecting. Looking at the syringes and needles makes me feel queasy. I'm kind of looking forward to it as we finally have started a cycle, but also nervous.

su ----------- NOT LONG NOW.....it's nearly bedtime for you!! 
Maybe you should just get in your jammies (if not already)..... put on one of your fav dvd's --- you know, a really good chick-flick, like --- DIRTY DANCING!!!!!!!!!! and just let yourself fade away into the night and the next thing you know -- it will be time to get up, shower and go for your test!!! AND WE'LL ALL BE WAITING!!!!!!! i still say YOU*GO*GIRL on the PMA....you've done so well.....and if not - then you've certainly put on a good front in your reads for us!

IVF 4 BFP
Su 1 more sleep ..thinking of you and hoping for that much deserved STRONG BFP for ya x x x
wishful and Jen 1 thanks for the support..unfortunatly it is not just my age and adoption that is the problem ...its me!!!! i am a nutter...lol NO am joking... I would honestly be rejected from adoption as majorly i am unwell. I have multiple sclerosis an auto immune disease and i would be rejected on that factor ..i was in a wheelchair 2 years ago and could be there again , at any time so NO WAY would i be excepted on adoption scheme. Just cos i can be stable with my health. I would work with it and my own child. But i couldnt put that burden on a saved child..if you know what i mean. It isnt fair. x x
as a PS DH will not adopt... so whatever health wise i was we would not be doing adoption.
We will work it out our path and find a way through
love to everyone else
and thanks girls for your support x x x

Jayne - that is unbelieveable TWINS so exciting......whoopie!!!
ICSI - you are seriously mad woman!! 4am to shop - that beats me hands down.
Jenb - it sounds like you had a good weekend clearing out the cob webs and putting your hearts on the table - sometimes its good and atleast you know where you both stand however DH is right, your health is more important but also know where you are coming from if you don't try once more.
Carolyn - hope the gym worked well for you - I'm missing it like crazy but know it is for the greater good of a BFP!!
Angel505 - hey you will be a dab hand at all the injections etc in no time.
Su - come on babes, one more day - although know how you feel, I woke up yesterday feeling really tense and thought OMG its is PMT rather PMA!! Feel better today...and you girl, will be bringing some long awaited good news tomorrow.
STeph so glad you went to see the DR, it will get easier I promise - just hangin there (((((((HUGS)))))))))))
CarolynB - I won't ask how you are, as I probably can guess but hope your day at work wasn't too bad xxx
Hi to everyone I've missed - sorry this is a little rushed but you shall my undivided attention once again tomorrow, once they have gone
Hugs
Nimble xx

sorry I couldn't get past the hockey part...had to go back and rereadICSI GIRL wrote:they've got me on loestrin -- which, until this round - i had never heard of before!!! doc's office actually gave me "sample packs" of those - i'll be on 1 full pack, skipping what would be normal AF week/pills and going directly into new pack for about a week (thus allowing them to manipulate my cycle around THEIR schedule -- gotta love it
yeh loestrin is purty popular, I was on it once but didn't really like it...you see the commercials for that loestrin 24 fe....that is THE one that gives you a 3 day or less AF....but there are older formulations. And it totally makes sense to do the back to back packs...when I was on BC I actually did that all the time...made my own Seasonale ( that is the one with the 4 times as year AF??) You really can do that with just about any BC so no it isn't weird...and it is great to manipulate around vacations too I have no idea when AF will show up...I think i need to stop bleeding from this D&C first hahaha. They told me to expect it 4-6 weeks after, that is pretty normal....ok so it will probably be here in 2 or 12 since I'm so NOT normal!!!
I did go pick up my clomid today though so that when it does start I am ready. I'd love for it to be here before Christmas...all I want for Christmas is AF...how is THAT not the oddest thing to ask Santa for???????Steph

Nah Su we don't have boxing day...Canada does though. Personally I jokingly celebrate it though...only because I love hockey and hockey is Canadian...so maybe Angie does too hahahaha she claims to be a hockey fansqueezan wrote:Angie, I suppose the nearest we have is the 'january' sales which start on Boxing Day (Dec 26th - do you call it that?).
Yes, I think the 2ww is harder than the treatment itself - too much time with nothing productive to do. I like to be doing not waiting
