I'm a closet IVFer too. And ya, who would have guessed that we'd have OTHER friends???? :D :lol:

Don't know about your experience, but I've found myself getting more distant to my "real life" friends. I can't handle anyone's baby news and and don't enjoy pretending that life is oh so wonderful. I know there are more things to life, but when you are going through a cycle, it can consume your whole life. In that sense, I feel more close to all you lovely cyber friends!

Hope most us are all linked - i'm jackie under Steph and the others - haven't checked mind you whether you wanted me to be a friend or not!! :wink:

OMG -- so true......the bit about growing more distant from real-world/life friends......as wonderful and understanding as they try to be ---- they just don't get it!!! that being said --- you guys are some of the best friends i've ever even had in my life :-) is awesome to go thru something so incredibly personal, sometimes painful, sometimes happy -- all the emotions you can think of....ya tend to get attached to those going thru it all with you :wink:

No you don't get to find out the sex til week 22 scan. phew! got a few more weeks to decide if I want to.

Yeah but getting more nervous the closer it gets. Mad thoughts pop into my head that there'll be nothing there and that I'm imagining it. I know its crazy but I feel so well, I just don't feel pregnant.

Nims- WHERE ARE YOU? what's the news on your scan?

hold your bloody horses - if you lot hadn't been rattling on it wouldn't be taking me ages to read through the posts :shock: still on page 213!!

hence why i haven't got to the end -

Yeah icsi just seen you last post - I love keeping you in suspense!! hee hee

ImageI',m officially 12 wks today :lol: :lol: :lol:

Scan was great - 2 legs and feet, 2 arms and hands and thankfully 1 head! Good heartbeat and although we don't have the officially results of the nunchal scan - the measurement was something like 1.2mm which is good, however still need to wait for bloods so could change.

Back at the end of March and the consultant (who happens to be same as clinic consultant) saw me and said that they will also get me in for extra scans to reassure me that all is ok - so on Image

thanks for AF advice Steph, Su, Angie & Angel! I feel much better!

Angel, glad we will be together on our "Short Protocols!!" And I know what you mean about the other friends. They try, but they don't get it! My DH gives me crap about it. He doesn't get it why I don't want to see them that much. This is tooooooooo big!!!!

Stephjim, good luck with follies tomorrow!

Su - it is awesome and you will be fine tomorrow - we were at the hospital for about 2hrs all in all then had to go straight to work hence no update til tonight.

So spooky about the 12wk thing, I was telling my DH this morning about you and said how wired is that we are the same bearing in mind we got our BFP at different times - I wonder if tomorrow if you will be given an earlier due date.??

I will be think of you.

Hiya Ladies :D

Ive added someone on FB - dunno who it is but i think its Angel - and yes Hope - who ever would have thought u to have that name - goes to show doesnt it, that we dont know who is who and what is what in these message boards - i mean i could really be a perv after some sexy stories (Mia & vibrators had me spitting my Tea out at the puter lol - i could have dealt with the sex question - it was the plastic things that had me laffing lol)

Anyhow, back to FB - thanks ever so much Steph for ur comment about my photos hahaha - u made me laff :lol: I dont know how to upload em into the same file as my main photo is in - i tried last night and may have sent some to people by mistake lol - soz if i did!

Fan bloody TASTIC news on ur scan Nims - i cant imagine how revealed u are, i know what u have been thru and to get to this point must be mind blowing :D So pleased hun xxx

ICSI and u other lovely ladies - - i havent forgotten about u either - but im afraid im gonna have to catch up with u all properly at the weekend - i will keep checking and if there anything important to congratulate someone or to give advise, i will post - but im really shattered after starting this job and want to collapse as soon as i get home!

Talking about THE job - well it went much better today - im not saying i love it just yet - but feel a lot more optamistic about it - prob cos i had 2 hrs off all in all at the hosp lol....

Oh - my hosp appt - i knew i logged on to tell ya summit :wink:

Well - it was just for screening ladies :shock: i was gutted lol - just a poxy bloody test, but i asked the nurse what would happen next and she said that as soon as i get my Feb AF - to let em know, they will work out my meds - and will send for me 2 weeks after for an hours appt with the DR, and then i will go and pick up my drugs and start on day 21 of my AF!
I asked if my AF comes on 29/30th Jan (im due then) would i be able to start - and she said prob not (even tho its a few days early - they calculate all patients for Jan - like if someone else starts AF on 31st she would come before me) so i understand that and will have to wait till end of Feb.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo no jigging for me yet ladies, i want her to stay away untill the 1st of Feb - jig all u like after :wink: :wink:

Right, diet class tonight - i weighed and had put on 6.5lbs since i last went in October - so im not crying too much as its not too bad (3 mths and all that) Have to start eating healthy now!

Oh and someone asked a question about alcohol! Our DR's here say no alcohol when ur in ur 2ww - BUT - a report came out on the TV news a few weeks back saying that pregnant women are allowed up to 1 glass of wine a day that it WOULD NOT harm the baby. Most women in France drink a glass of red wine with their meal, and i have tlaked t DH about it and said for special ocasions (like my 40th) If im pregnant for it - i will have just the one glass of wine to celebrate! I dont know about the 2ww tho - i think i would feel i caused a BFN if i got a BFN (if u know wot i mean) someone said that its better to stick at what u feel comfortable with, and not do something that u may regret if it doesnt work - thats the way i look at things - we do have to be careful - but we also need to live a normal happy healthy lifestyle for the baby - and i think 1 glass of wine would be fine (not one every hour tho Steph soz LOL)

Right ladies .... gotto go, catch ya soon OK ..... Be Good

Becky Xxx

1 IVF=BFN 2 IVF=BFN 3 IVF=BFP :) m/c @ 8 wks :( 4 IVF=BFN
We must now let go of the life we had planned, to live the life waiting for us..

Yep, one head would be good :lol:
I've changed my week around so that I'm actually working at the hospital that I'm having my scan tomorow morning. Go visit the kids ward and the babies on the neo-natal unit then get to see my own, should be good. I can sometimes get on here at that site 'cos there's only 3 of us there.
Scan's at 11.30am so I'll try to post straight after, if not it'll be after 5.30pm when I get home as I'm due in dispensary hell in the afternoon.

Nims - are you gonna post a piccie?
