Awaiting Treatment

[waitingforMia]

Hey girls!! Did you miss me?? I guess not cuz no one said they missed me

Well I just got home from teaching ... soo tired. I am gonna take a nap but wanted to whine a bit first:
I woke up several times to go pee last night (I never do) and around 4 am I woke up in severe pain cramp like pain very low like in my bladder. I thought it was gas, since I have been so gassy, but it was much lower. I tried to use the Restroom to see if that would alleviate it, but no. I was in pain for an hour almost. I finally put the heating pad and the pain started going away. Today I am sore to the touch (more than yesterday). It was almost like a cyst bursting. My RE said it is uncommon and it might be a bladder infection, but he doesn't want to put me on antibiotics the day before ET (ommm isn't that what Doxyc. is??) confused. So here is my question could it be cuz dh and I cheated and had sex 2 days ago?? But there was no pain that night??! Ok enough blabbing about my poor pains..

HOPE: SOOOOO glad AF finally found you!!! I guess she got lost??

AF found someone else too, but I can't remember who?? Man know I know how it feels to go to bed early and then get on the next day with pages and pages of bs to have to sift through

[waitingforMia]

Hope WOOOHOOOO!!!! It was the acupuncture...and the pushing!! Yahoo so glad you are back on track...it definitely was weird...different...and at times a friggen reminder

Yup I go to hell tomorrow and Sunday but I'll be home for the Superbowl....GO PATS!

What questions did I have the other night....I slept since then

Steph

Thanks... and thanks for encouraging me to PUUUUSSSSHHHH!!! I felt like you were my cyber labor coach! (breathe, push, breathe!!) haha

Questions - you were calling people with your "old" job and contracts and stuff but nobody knew the answers??? Sounded like they were giving u a bit of the run around...?

I guess it is a weekend of SUPER CONTACT SPORTS, eh??!! Rugby for our UK girls and FOOTBALL (American style, of course) for US girls! Lots o' boys in tight pants(4 us anyway) and gettin' all hot & sweaty!

Hope: You forgot my ET tomorrow... that's a contact sport right??? I will make sure dh wears tight pants, but alas, no gettin hot and sweaty for me tomorrow

Oooooooooooo thats a good map Su - see ladies - the welsh lady (girl) standing there in Wales - tis me (and Rachel) thats a traditional welshlady. On St Davids day (March 1st - only in Wales) children dress up like this



Not the boys obvisouly - they wear leeks or daffodils on their shirts!






My 2 daughters used to go to school all dressed up as welsh ladies - and no doubt Rachels little girl will too (wont she Rachel lol)

Anyway - see the map ladies - where it says Northern Ireland and Belfast - well if u use ur thumbnail down from Belfast - thats my house - see - im waving at you all <waves>

Su: How could u think we would make essex girl jokes up - when Wales just slammed u at the rugby - never mind the 'essex girls' jokes - we won the rugby



DD is waiting to use the puter - sorry ladies, im being bombarded with dirty looks - i have to go ...

Mia: Is it tomorrow u go in for ET???? Good Luck, let us know how it goes ...

Nite Nite

Odd that you have to pay extra for matching, that's what they do routinely here. You don't get much choice here but they only give you the option of donors that match DH's characteristics (or your own if you don't have a DH)

I think we get a lot more in choice here than you guys do. You don't really get all that much info either...like we can get a medical history which includes family medical, family member characteristics, personality tests, voice/interviews, pics, things like that. Can you get much info on your donor or does the clinic say...this one is yours? What if that donor doesn't work, can you get a new one?

Yes I plan on telling my child but, as Steph says, its probably easier for us as they're gonna ask why they've got no Daddy. I heard that they are actually thinking about making it compulsory to tell the child here. Not sure how that would work.

Are you serious??? WHY??? Are they gonna flag the kid's passport??? Who's gonna tell em and at what age is it appropriate! Retarded! I don't care if people don't want to tell their kids...some people don't tell their kids they are adopted...who cares! I don't tell people they are ugly or stupid biotches...(ok maybe not to their faces)....but it is the TRUTH!

Steph, isn't it lovely when you get an unexpected quiet day in hell, I love that. Unfortunately mine was the opposite. Friday is usually the best day of the week but for some reason it went mad yesterday. Maybe all the sick people moved here to avoid your weather

omg it was bliss...but then today kinda sucked of course. But partially cuz we are trying to train a newbie...uh yeh, don't get me started! We are soooo gonna run this one off cuz they have no possiblity of getting trained correctly, just a bunch of crap thrown at them....trial by fire! I don't think the sickos from here moved...they just hibernated for a few hours...but I'd gladly send em your way....most don't have teeth so keep a look out fer em!

Steph
ps watch out for those prams with no wheels...makes em HARD to push

[pequele]

Not much action on here right now I see. I am back from appointment which was hours ago and here I am again so soon. Well, looks like iui this time. I am fine with that. Don't want to spend all the Moolah on IVF if there are only 3 or 4 eggs retrieved this cycle. Hoping that the IUI does us right. Looks like I take the trigger tonight around 5pm and go in tomorrow morning for IUI #1 then back in on Monday for IUI#2. We do two because DH has sperm problems. The first IUI seems a bit early if you ask me, but I am trying to let go and not keep questioning EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME!

Woo Chirss! I am glad you made your decision and you are happy with it! This is all you will need!!! I don't think the timing is too soon, maybe he thinks you are close to releasing the eggies or he wants to give a batch of swimmers a head start. Who knows you could be on your way to your own set of quads!!! You and Mia!!!!!

Steph

[pequele]

Pequele- thank you for always answering my questions. You and SU are so smart... So I take it you want a girl? I think I kinda want a little girl too. Hope you had an ok day at hell today.

PSSHH no problem...I once started as a person who had 5 kabillion questions in this quest! Heck...now that I am moving to a monitoring and US cycle for the 1st time, I am in a whole new ball game again myself!

Are you going to be doing meds when you do IUI?

So here is my question could it be cuz dh and I cheated and had sex 2 days ago?? But there was no pain that night??! Ok enough blabbing about my poor pains..

um ok, #1 yeh Doxy is an antibiotic...but what is your dose. It may not help a uti...and #2 LOVE the "it's uncommon"...uh yeh UNCOMMON, not impossible right! Maybe you could mention it again tomorrow and they may be able to do a urine test. #3 yup doing the sin could have gotten you a uti, but so could have the doctor (which with timing would have been much more likely the cause). They do some of the procedure vaginally right?

Do they use an us when putting the embies back? Maybe they can take a look and check for cysts then too.

Have you had frequent urination and more pain today??

Sucky...I say have some ice cream!
Steph

[pequele]

no one is heeerre! I'm the only one without a life on Sat night...and I gotta go to hell tomorrow so I am ready for bed, too...I'm beat! Anyone heeerrrre?

100 mg doxy 2x a day. I will have them do a test tomorrow so I can know. Yeah, the ER is vaginal. Glad to know I might not be the one to blame for fornicating and all...

Are you in bed already??? I already have my jammies on, but I might go out with a friend. YOu know my last night not pg :0) Oh yeah bring on the pMA!!

Becky: Yeah glad your team won!!

And SU- thanks for the map. I should pin it up so I can look at it when all you foreigners start talking about cities I have never heard of.

Chriss: U/s glad you are happy with the decision. I hope this IUI brings you your bfp!!!

[pequele]

I'm still here..I mean it IS still early to go to bed and I don't want to be awake at like 3am cuz I went to bed so early like and old person...but I HAVE to rest up to watch the commercials tomorrow!!!

You fornicated AND you are going out all in a weeks time!!! Youwoman Mia!!!

I thought you'd like that Becky.
How about a map from the US girls so we know where you are

I think we get a lot more in choice here than you guys do. You don't really get all that much info either...like we can get a medical history which includes family medical, family member characteristics, personality tests, voice/interviews, pics, things like that. Can you get much info on your donor or does the clinic say...this one is yours? What if that donor doesn't work, can you get a new one?

Its not quite as bad as 'this ones yours' but not far off - for me it was 'this one or that one? or you can wait and see what else comes up' I think I'd find it really hard if I'd had all your choices, I honestly have hardly thought about the donor, except for the occasional panic now. Was talking to my sister about it and said they told me brown hair, brown eyes, 6 ft tall, what they didn't say was big nose and sticky out ears (well you just don't know, do you)

ps watch out for those prams with no wheels...makes em HARD to push

Oh you do make me laugh. Promise I'll get one with wheels, just hope they stay on

Mia and Chris
for your precedures today

[chriss]

Su, thanks for the geography lesson and thanks for the PMA & well wishes. I'm feeling very good about the IUI. If we were doing IVF today, I wouldn't feel as confident with the number of eggs. Kinda wierd and hard to explain. I guess I feel this way because IUI worked for us last year with only 2 eggs (Had m/c at 7 1/2 weeks) But IVF has not worked yet with 10 eggs. Go figure.

Backy & Rachel, great about your team winning! Oh Becky... had no idea ghost is a man!!! NO WAY. Here I am picturing a woman every time!

Steph, feeling good about IUI. Sorry I wasn't up last night to chat with you. I bet you're looking forward to the monitored cycle. It's cool to watch it all happen.

Mia, thinking of you today!!!!

I know I missed a whole bunch of ya, but gotta go make a baby. We are out the door. I'll be back later. Thanks again for everything you guys. You are soooooo important to me. Love-chriss

[pequele]

How about a map from the US girls so we know where you are

that is of New England...the RIGHT side of our country up north...by Canada....this is my state


there is my state... I live in Lebanon...on the left side midway up under the bear's foot and above the boat (granted I know that is a river there, but with all the damns and stuff there I have NEVER known there to be kayakers or boaters on it...whatever! I mean it isn't like I have seen a BEAR either!

Its not quite as bad as 'this ones yours' but not far off - for me it was 'this one or that one? or you can wait and see what else comes up' I think I'd find it really hard if I'd had all your choices, I honestly have hardly thought about the donor, except for the occasional panic now. Was talking to my sister about it and said they told me brown hair, brown eyes, 6 ft tall, what they didn't say was big nose and sticky out ears (well you just don't know, do you)

Did they tell you he HAD a nose??? So no pics or nothing???

Oh you do make me laugh. Promise I'll get one with wheels, just hope they stay on

details details! You want EVERYTHING don'tcha?? haha Just buy a roll of duct tape...it fixes EVERYTHING!!

[stephjim]

Hey Steph

How are you? I am off today!! Still crampy in my back, but trying to keep PMA. You?

[JackieG]

Good morning ladies,

Stephjim, Keep up the PMA. Could be a good sign. How are things with DH? Hope he is understanding.

Chris, Glad you made decision for IUI this will give you more chances with Ins and IVF. Good luck to you.

Steph, everyone needs a good night sleep every once in a while. I was also in bed last night at 9pm. Hope you are rested for today. Do you get to watch the Superbowl or do you have to go to Hell?

Mia, I missed you!!! Hope you are feeling good. PUPO!!! Did you go out last night??

Becky, Love the pictures. Hope you are feeling better and AF has subsided a little

Hi to Su and Hope!!

Just getting ready to watch the Game and have some people over.
