Hi ladies!!!
How is everyone and how is your weekend??
Things here are what they are I suppose. My mother in law apparently has been telling entire family (siblings, aunts, etc) how she disapproves of us using assisted reproduction to conceive a child (citing religion)....we are furious. Dont get me wrong she is entitled to her opinions, but to one share with everyone that we are doing fertility treatments feels like an invasion of privacy , and two , if you dont agree, just dont say anything....or say it to us. Omg!! My dh is fuming, she is a gossip , we know this but this crosses a line. To boot, she doesnt mention my husbands mfi issues but only my ovulatory issues. I heard this from two people over the past few days and I am horrified to think that my reproductive history has now been shared with many. If I wanted it shared I would have done so myself.
Anyway...my gmoms 94th was yesterday and we had a great time. Thanks for all the wishes. I made her scallops and we all gathered and enjoyed our time together. She had tears in her eyes when she left and I was so grateful I was able to do that for her.
My football eagles play today and we are having people over. Should be fun.
Lee-good luck tomorrow!!! I am sure you are both nervous and excited. My thoughts are with you and will await word on how you are?
Car-sounds like prague is great
Sophie_how was the party?
Becky-in my thoughts
I'll probably go back to docs tuesday for my bloods to make sure my beta is down to nill and we can move on. My dh has suddenly become supportive which totally is great.
Take car guys

after 8 yrs of trying 2failed ivf 1 m/c and 2 miracles
HI everyone,
WOOHOO!!!!!! CAROLYN, YOU ROCK!!!!!
I'm so freakin' happy for you girlie!!!! Wow, you must have felt so dizzy after your apt, everything started so fast and you didn't expect it!!!! Oooh this looks good, and the costs are quite amazing too! Quite incredible in fact! Oh, I'm really happy for you guys! How neat that you like the RE too! You must be on a cloud!
:D:D:D LOL and don't be too hard on DH! The fainting reaction is very specific to needles/blood/wounds phobia, and VERY involuntary! Heck, you guys live in the UK, there are TONS of cognitive-behavioral psychologists who would make that go away in a few hours! Worth a call, just saying! 
Renee,
I was FLABBERGASTED reading about your MIL's behavior. HOW RUDE!!! HOW FREAKIN' RUDE!!!!
I totally understand you sweetie... my mother compares IVF to abortion, because too many eggs/embryo are produced, and some have to be destroyed, not to mention the "docs play GOD" argument... catholic orthodox. Ah, well. At least she had the decency to respect my space; I let her express her opinion, I expressed mine, and then told her we should agree to disagree and I didn't want us to talk about it ever again. Good side is, when I did become pregnant for good, she's been super excited like there's no tomorrow. If that's any comfort to you, when your turn comes... *hugs*
But enough about me, back to you. It is such a delicate matter. I would be FURIOUS if someone divulged details about my intimacy. And HOW UNFAIR that she only mentions your issues, and not your husbands'!! Geez, what's her problem!??!?!?
She obviously has a lot of trouble dealing with her reaction to your situation! Is she talkable at least? Can you make her understand how inappropriate her behavior is? Gosh, I hope there's hope in that matter... and well, I'm happy that it brought DH closer to you... *HUGS*
Rachel,
Great to have news girlie! Remember, though, that ultrasounds have a 7 days margin of error at the 13 weeks ultrasound, and a 10 days margin of error at the 20 weeks ultrasound. I'm glad that everything is okay on your side, and I hope the switch to the second trimester goes smoothly!
Miracle, Angie, Angel, all the others, where are you and how are you doing?
We didn't go to the housewarming party after all. It was super cold outside (we're talking minus 22Celsius) and my friend lives in an area where you have to park in the street, downtown, so forget it, we would have had to take the subway. We really weren't motivated enough. So I'll call my friend this week and offer him to have dinner, all the four of us (two couples) at a restaurant in a couple of weeks.
The rest of my weekend was great; I visited my best friend. She's stuck at home because her cervix can't be trusted and her uterus is oversensitive (starts contracting unexpectedly for like an hour or so... and becomes as hard as a rock). At least she's not bedridden, so we had fun chatting, catching up, knitting and stuffing ourselves on cookies, ketchup chips and herbal tea! Too bad the roads were so tricky... slippery, yuck yuck yuck! I was glad to be home.
***warning, baby stuff***
DH assembled the baby's bed this weekend, and it looks amazing. A bit more massive than I thought, but it fits prefectly with the rest of the furniture; you'd swear it's a set! I know some of you were interested to see the blanket, but I'll wait until I've finished the whole bedding, and then I'll post a link to pics (in a couple of weeks).
***warning over***
Okay ladies, take care and have fun!

Now let's spend the rest of our lives having fun together!
So good to hear from you so early here.
Sophie, I cant thank you enough for the validation of mil behavior. I have really had to check mhyslef and wonder if I had been overreacting. Look, I respect others opinions, but this information should NEVER have been shared with others without our ok and then to soapbox against it....well enough said. Thank you. I wont speak with her and my dh is dealing with it very passive aggresive which is fine for me, as long as she can read between the lines I dont care. Still fuming though.
Ok, so me, crying the past two nights, out of nowhere, dont know why????? DH looks at me like crazy, I think the mil stuff stirred up all kinds of emotions. I will take the drive to RE tomorrow for my bloods and then coast until my af comes, then I will just be monitored during feb and when ready to ovulate I will get what my RE calls supershot (2 bottles hcg, 2 bottles fsh) to make my egg release and we will bd and hope we can avoid ivf. If not, we are ready for march, and I think in a good place. My mom and stepmom agreed to watch my ds (turning 2 in march) for me when I do the fill in stuff working 2 days a week for the next two months, it will saves us money and help soften the $$ blow of ivf.
We had our football game here and our team lost. Boo hoo!!!! It was fun having people over and we ate lots of great food!!!!!
Lee-thinking of you and Car still excited over your great news.
Sophie-thanks again for your understanding!!!! Cant wait to see that bedding!!!!!
Angie and ang waiting to hear from you guys
Rachel- your scan is going to be great, we know it!!
Becky-in my thoughts always
Anyone I missed cant wait to hear from you also.

Hi Girls ...
Sorry i havent been on .... i think im going mad - i dont think im handling this too well u know
i thought i was coping so well but last night i sobbed untill 4.30am ... my tummy was sore all last night until i finally figured out what was wrong - im ovulating 
im not meant to ovulate - im meant to be pg .... an wot hurts the most is that i cant even 'try again' this mth - not much point when i have these poxy clips on my tubes - why oh why did i want to be steralized when i was just 24!!! What a stupid woman!!! Everytime i close my eyes i think about it .... i am going crazy, i dont think its right to feel like this - maybe im wrong i dunno ... maybe its meant to be like this i just dont know what to do .... i cant keep comming here like this, its bringing the site down and im so sorry ladies ...
On a brighter note (if u can call it a brighter note) i have the follow up appt - its Feb 16th ... the way im feeling now i cud just walk away - i dont want to go thru all this again ... but i know that i'll also regret that if i do ...
I dont think im normal .... what is normal after a m.c ladies ...

1 IVF=BFN 2 IVF=BFN 3 IVF=BFP
m/c @ 8 wks 4 IVF=BFNWe must now let go of the life we had planned, to live the life waiting for us..
Adoption course starts March 19th
CAROLYN!!!
So happy for you!! Have have you come down from cloud 9 yet?? 
Renee I soooo agree with Sophies comments about your mil, I am sorry you have had to go through that its bad enough as it is for us ladies and our DH or DP havihg to cope with what we have to cope with, good luck with the supershots lets hope you can avoid a cycle.
You have a good cry whenever you feel like it, It helps to get the emotions out rather than keeping them in, I am still having a good cry on a regular basis at the moment and sometimes its triggered by something and other times I don't know where the tears come from.
Sophie glad the baby room is coming along nicely, its warmed up over here a bit, so not as cold to go out although I am not sure I can quite appreciate how cold it is over your side of the pond, -1 here feels freezing to us!!
Hi Rachel, not sure if we have met before? Good luck with your scans, the time will fly by I am sure.
Hi Angel, Angie and Miracle wherever you are....
Well thankyou for all your good wishes for my appointment, we went today and I asked about tests incase there was something wrong with me this was not my first m.c and I have had a ton of blood taken to check me out. So thankyou to everyone out there who advised me to do this as it will put my mind at rest. The next good thing was AF came as we were on our way so we were able to get to the clinic and plan our next tmt.
Soooooo ........ we are scheduled for FET between 10 - 15 of march or thereabouts. They are going to put in 2 embryos and hopefully my other 2 will survive, if they do we have one more chance if this one fails if not well then this will be my last and final try as there are no other options for us after that. So I am really going to look after my mind body and soul over the next 2 months to give myself the best chance.
Take care
Lee xxx
Finally I am a mummy, we are about to adopt our beautiful little girl xxxxx
Becky, I saw your post pop up as I was doing mine, you come here whenever you want to no matter how you feel or what you are posting, you know all the guys on here and they can help and support as much as you need it. You know last year when I was going through the days feeling as emotional as you are now I went and saw my GP and he gave me some meds just to help me through the really tough days, I have used some of them this time as well, I didnt want to take something every day as I didn't feel I needed it, but it was there to take when some days got so on top of me I didn't want to do anything as I would just keep crying, then the meds helped and got me through the days until my own mind and body could take over again.
Feb 16th isnt too far away... and I think you are completely normal, you are grieving honey and it takes time to grieve, thinking of you and will send some reiki your way if you would like me to.

Becky - honey you must always post here no matter what you feel we are here to support you .. maybe like lee said it might be worth a visit to the docs ?? or try Dr Bachs rescue remedy it really does work.. maybe treat yourself to a massage or indian head massage to get rid of some of the tension ?? - hugs xxx
Rachel - wow back to work soon .. but lucky you not for long !!!
Well I am still on cloud million and one .. can't believe it has been this easy .. hopefully the cycle will continue the same way and will not have too many issues with the language and distance !!
Love to all

Good Morning
Thought I would say my good mornngs before the day starts as busy day today, waiting for a couple of children to possibly arrive today. I could have had a couple of really tiny children but I am not sure how I would cope with looking after really little ones. Its so hard because I really want to have the little ones and we are both really good with the pre school children and work well with issues like attachment (our speciality if you like) but I am so scared of having them at the moment because not sure how I would cope emotionally when they have to go home or move on.
In answer to your earlier question Carolyn, no our 15 yr old does not want to be adopted, although she does not want to go home, she would stay in foster care, go home or move on to independence at 16.
I saw my nephew last night he is in reception year at school and he wanted to read out to me all the new words he is learning. He was so proud of himself as he got them all right except two and told me some of them were new words he only learnt last night!!
Hi Angie nice to 'see' you, so do you not get a holiday like Miracle then? What holiday is it, Carolyn arnt we the country with the least public holidays??? Our next one is months away!!! Not that it matters to me I guess as I work for myself and my time keeping is absolutely rubbish I spend more time wasting it than I do working !!!!
So Carolyn, what happens now after you have had a few bottles of wine to celebrate?
Hello to, Miracle, Renee thinking of you today, hope your blood tests go ok, Sophie, Angel are you due back today nice and rested??, Becky hugs to you.
Well I better go and get ready for the day
Speak soon

Finally I am a mummy, we are about to adopt our beautiful little girl xxxxx
TOP O' THE MORNIN' TO YA LADIES!!! (in my best irish accent!!!) no... i'm not irish.....and more importantly -- NO i can't speak those words with an irish accent 
it just sounded fun to say!!!
hey lee.....boy, i must say you have WAY more heart than me!!! sad as this may sound (or selfish maybe) --- i could NOT do the foster parent thing.....was one of the routes we discussed as we first approached the whole adoption process.....i simply don't have it in me to "get a child" and then have to "return" the child back into what i would most likely consider not-so-great conditions compared to what i could have offered the child... i truly admire you girl
carolyn -- can still see you spinning 'round and jumping up/down!!! so happy for ya girl.....SO happy!!!
oh yeah -- you guys asked about the holiday over here....yesterday (monday) was Martin Luther King Jr. Day..... is kinda like "presidents day" -- do you guys have any of those over there?? is one of those "holidays" where only certain industries observe and actually have the day off ----- all gov't entities (no mail), all banks/financial institutions, etc......but NOT the company i work for!! figures
must run (if i want to get out of work early enough to watch american idol tonight!!!!!!!) --- will try to check back later!!!
(mir -- WHERE ARE YOU???!!!!!)
love & hugs to all!!! (specially to you QUEEN BECK!! )

Yes ladies...I was off yesterday.
I was really busy at the end of last week with auction stuff. So sorry I went MIA!!! Anyway, lets get down to business. I have missed so much.
QUEEN BECKY: Don't you dare say you are brining the thread down. That is what this thread is for. Remember??? It is for all of us to vent, yell, cry, and let all of our emotions out. I am sorry you are having a hard time, though I am not suprised. You and Brian have went through a very tramatic thing. BIG HUGS BECKY!!! Take it one day at a time love!
Renee: I cant believe your MIL!!!!!! That is horrible. How dare she gossip about something so sensitive and private. You and DH need to have her over and set her straight. No one has a right to tell your business like that. I dont give a damn what or how she feels about using ART to have a baby. I am Catholic. My family is Catholic. Obviously we do not see ART as the average Catholic does. And frankly, I think the ones who judge ART would be the first ones turning to it if the shoe was on the other foot.
Dont let that horrible mean sprited negative woman bring you or your DH down for a second!!!!!!!!!
Sophie: Awww...sounds like the baby's room is coming together. How exciting!!! So happy for you. I hope I am able to know what that feels like one day. How are all your furbabies doing? Mollie & Charlie are doing great. I changed their food last week. They are now eating Taste of the Wild. It is kind of expensive, but their is no by products, corn or fillers in it. They love it. Mollie used to eat every 2-3 days, she now gobbles it up when I feed them their dinner. She is my little piggy!!!
No offense but with your mother comparing IVF to abortion, I know I have commented before but...like I said, I am catholic as well. There are many things that I disagree with the church. IVF is Nothing like abortion. I am so glad that your mother's uneducated assumption, did not sway your decision. Again, no disrespect to you or your mother. It just makes me so upset when people judge.
Lara!! Hey honey! Was just thinking of you!!! So glad your baby is doing well. Ahh...Ruby has found her feet!!! so sweet!! I hope everything goes well for your work meeting. Keep us posted!!!
Lee: WOW!!! You will be doing your FET in March!! WHOO HOO!! that is amazing. Just days away! I bet you are excited and nervous at the same time. Dont worry sweetie, we will all be behind you!!! HUGS!!!
Angel: When are you coming back lovey?? We are all waiting to hear where you went and all the details...miss you bunches ladie!!!
Angie: Whats up chick?? So...American Idol. I cant wait for tonight!!! Still really busy at work huh?? Me too...I should be working. BUT...like i have said before. i do have priorities!!!
Are you watching/listening to the inauguration?
Wishful!!!!!!!!! Look at you girl!!! Logging in while you are there!!!
What awesome news honey!!!!!!!!!!!! I am thrilled for you!!!! So you are doing the ET in April? Why do you have to start your meds now??
Everything is coming together love!!! I couldnt be happier!!!!!
Well, dont know if you ladies remember...but me and DH where supposed to go to dinner last night for our anniversary...a very posh place...I made reservations and everything. It was a big suprise. Well I told him about it that morning so he knew what time to be home. Well at his work they had a big water main break. So we couldnt go...Both of us were really bummed. It sucked big time. He didnt get home till 9:30 last night.
we will do it another time though. On a weekend. Ok ladies I must get some work done. Love to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I admire you so much for what you do - do they know you are going through IVF ?? - just know that if you look at adoption and done IVF there has to be a gap of six months from last cycle to applying. I think you just have to go with gut feeling - do you get a choice then about wether to take them or not ?
When do you get results from your bucket load of bloods ??
