Apart from Steph, does anyone else hate their job? I hate mine with a passion at this point. Don't know if the drugs messed me up so much (the angel that I was before!). As I want to take leave in Feb again for IVF, I've kind of been put in a team as an assistant instead of leading it. The person who is leading is so inexperienced, he makes me wanna scream. So he asks at a team meeting, are there any particular areas that you want or don't want to do? I did point out that I'd be happier not doing a certain part of the work (which involves seeing so many different people - don't have the energy). So what happens............? he gives me 2 out of the 8 processes saying that its been equally been divided between the team. Yesterday he adds one more. Today another one. The prat!!!!!! And wants a meeting with me tomorrow to "discuss something else". I'm sure its another process. Thats 5 out of 8, when we have a team of 6. Grrrrr................................................. :evil: Now why do you ask if you are not really going to take someone's opinion? I very politely pointed out that i'm gonna be doing a hell lot of work. But I know he's now going to discuss it with other people and probably make out that I'm being difficult.

Steph & ICSI,
I feel for you girls. I know the 2ww all too well and the last couple of days suck. I've sworn all kinds of things... felt it all and I've been wrong so often. Remember the meds make u crazy. Don't give up yet. Hang in there. think positive, yadda, yadda, yadda. Thinking of you both. Really want this to work for you. PS... Don't trust the POAS. The one time I was preg, it took long time to show up. It's not over.

Angel, I agree about the amount of time on this board!! Yikes, I am obsessed. But it helps soooo much. I try to explain it to DH.

Becky, Thanks for encouragement re: age. Glad to be in the bum gang.

Mia, I'll dig out my wedding gown to so we are both ready on the 23rd. What will they do to us? I am soooo scared. they are a tough bunch.

Pumma, Don't know you yet, I'm one of the newbies, but thinking of you and wishing the best. Look forward to getting to know you when you are ready.

Everyone, HI!!!! I should be working right now!!!!! I am not!!!!!! Well, I am at work at least!!!! Ok, better log out. You know I'll be checking in soon. Later chicks, chriss

I guess I better go get myself clean...now that the dog has finally settled down for a nap and shut his eyes (typical fashion with his arse on the pillow and head on the floor!)...no longer looking out windows going ape S#!T over the birds outside that are conspiring to get him! He's NOT the brightest I told ya!

Ok I should be gone for a bit...key word SHOULD! I need to get to the dumps (tips)...throw the crap out! And get some things done around here :cry:

THANKS CHRISS.........believe it or not, no matter how many times people say it --- it actually DOES help to hear "hang in there"....... no matter what's running thru my mind --- atleast it helps me keep SOME level of SANITY!!!

Image

funny thing is -- i've all but convinced myself bfn already.....so it's like i'm not even "stressed" about bfp/bfn -- is more just the WAITING at this point....does that make sense or am i a total lunatic????? (don't answer that) :roll:

steph -- good for you getting yourself up and busy!! hoping that works out for ya hun :wink: what is your schedule for hell tomorrow??? just trying to figure out where everybody will be when i'm sobbing uncontrollably :cry: (how awful is that???? i'm always SO positive!!! i feel ashamed even "going there") oh well.......nature of the beast i suppose.....can i just tell you that i would go even MORE nutso if my RE's office didn't do bloods for this test??? (like yours where they say get bfp on hpt first.....) and i think is how they do across the pond too (just poas and if bfp, then come in for bloods??) its just such an "official" test day and to me, POAS just doesnt' give it proper justice!!

speaking of gals across the pond -- where are the all today anyway??? beck - you can't POSSIBLY still be out shopping???? OMG I WOULD DIE!!! hopefully you were able to find what you were looking for and make teenage daughter happy camper! :wink: that is the name of the game afterall when they are teenagers -- "keeping them happy!"

knicker-checking like a mad woman Image so far -- so good....but there's a LOT of day/eve left for me!! and i know i told you guys last night that once i signed off at work - i wouldn't be back for eve and yet i still was........today ---- i REALLY mean it!! dh and i are going to see hypnotist stop smoking (dh) and weightloss (both)..... am kind of excited about it actually!! not sure when will be home.....a good thing i guess -- less time i'll have to check my knickers!! :shock:

Flippin' 'eck what's gone on here today? I need a new job - one where I can log on and keep and eye on you all. Had 3 pages to read and I checked in before work this morning :shock:

Steph I think this is what you need
Image
Like the others said, don't give up yet, there's still hope. My BFP on test day was so faint, I'm sure it would've been BFN if I'd tested early. Image

Angie - Thinking of you too hun, how you doing? When will get get the results?

hey su......sorry you had so darn many pages to wade thru!!! :shock: i'm mostly to blame.....because of my INSANITY --- i've been even more mad than usual......completely not focused at work!!! OMG, can't even think the thought of what i would do if i didn't have you guys these last couple days!!!!! you guys have been my (lifeline)........... Image

guess i should be apologizing to EVERYBODY actually....for all the CRAP you've had to muddle thru :roll: aren't ya glad i don't go thru a 2ww all the time????? could you imagine???!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i will get results tomorrow --- mid-afternoon'ish......i think between 2-4pm EST......and you guys are what --- 4 hours AHEAD of us?? (is 2pm here my time right now......) so that would mean you guys won't "know" anything til tomorrow evening!!! although, it's evening for you right now - so it's not AS far away as "my"evening!!! did i confuse you??? right.... thanks for askin' :)

I don't think I have, but can't keep off the fruit gums - but then i always like them, just using this as an excuse to keep eating them !
Peeing has slowed down again today (thank god). Must admit I do drink quite a lot, I have a bottle of water beside me at work all day. I started that when I was taking the homeopathy 'cos I had to drink it throughout the day and just found I felt better for drinking more. No food fetishes yet just hungry all the time, including in the middle of the night. I'm gonna be the size of a house if I carry on eating like this :shock:

Nims, do you get a 12 week scan through the NHS, my drs so tight they refused to give me one, as its a dating scan and i had that at the clinic tried weedling one out of the midwife saying i had paid for those and was entitled but no go. On the nuchal scan both Dr and midwife tried to talk me out of it as its only a 1 in so many chance not definitive. And as i would not have an amnio they said there was no point as if i got a positive result i would be worried the whole pregnancy, i feel it would prepare me better for the chance. I wish you well in your decision, i am glad i did it and my result came back good.
Yes I do get a 12wk scan but also my nuchal scan too - I have heard that some hospitals won't do one until 20 wks - boy I'd be climbing the walls by then.
