Good morning all

Loopy - What a lovely lot of follies. It's looking good mate, good luck for your scan tomorrow lets hope they all grow nice and juicy. I don't have a Primark near me we have a Matalan which I think is a similar shop. As for growing tomatoes in the conservatory - it will be more like cooking them in there :roll: It's so flippin' hot!! My plants suffer big time.

Debra - Tick Tock another day over. Is it dragging or are you managing the time well??

Kel - How's it going. Are you still spotting?? It is a good sign so don't give up hope just yet. Keep up the fluids.

DeeDee - How are you feeling? Any bloating yet? The pessaries are a real pain aren't they? Have you heard any more about your remaining embryo's?

How is everyone else? Hello to Tracey, Traci, Staci, Teresa.

I am stimming away quietly in the corner so not much to report. I have my first scan on Friday. My ovaries are a bit twingy so something is happening in there.

The futures bright the futures ORANGE Come on HOLLAND !!!!!!!!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone :D

Love Dagny xkx

Loopy - great news on the follie front so good luck for the next scan!

Dagny - sounds like the ovaries are doing well already - please tell me you are keeping your fluids to the maximum possible! I know I am a nag but I am of the stim like a mad thing case and know you are the same!

I am growing some toms in the conservatory and in the little greenhouse and outside- conservatory is south - south west facing and no blinds - ouch - even the avocado plant is scorched!

Kel - how are you
Everyone else hang in there
Love

Hello All

Loopy - lots of lovely follies - well done - its all a numbers game so the more the merrier.

Dagny - how are you feeling, I know I was very aware of every twinge, but to be honest I think some of it may have been wind :D

Debra & Kel - how are you both - are you watching the tennis to help while away the time. Kel how are you? I have been thinking about you since you posting yesterday, I'm hoping that its being at your mum's that is stopping you posting 8)

Are sore boobs normal at this stage, not really sore, but a little bit on a scale of 1-10 about a 3? Clearly in my mind this is a sure sign that its not worked, but I am hoping that someone will tell me that was a symptom they had and they got a +ive???? Hopefully its down to those lovely pessaries - they really are horrid :roll:

So far time not dragging too much, spent alot of today asleep which helps. My cats are both enjoying the fact that I am at home, although they are on pain of death to bring back any feathered friends (can't stand birds)

Hope everyone else is well and keeping positive, regardless of what stage - in some ways I think the 2ww is less stressful part of the treatment, at least you have got there, I was so worried that we wouldn't get any follies, then that they wouldn't fertilze or if they did survive, so to have got this far is a bit of a relief.

More of my mundane and dull chatter tomorrow

Well Done DeeDee for getting this far. I had sore boobs during the 2ww and I am 8 weeks pregnant with twins now. Sore boobs is a typical symptom of pregnancy, it would be a whole lot less stressful if it wasn't a symptom of AF though!! You have to keep positive. Each day I spent a good 10 minutes just deep breathing and visualising all the oxygen and good vibes getting to my embys helping them along. It is probably all in the mind but I think it helped. That and a lot of rest, relaxation and being doted on by my DH.

I have my fingers crossed for you and all the other girls trying this month.

i have been really busy today,i have decided to spring clean the house before ec,then i will be able to rest more next week,as i am not one for sitting still,but i have promised myself i am going to this time,i have also just made a big corned beef and potatoe pie,i will be so fat by the time this treatment is over,(hopefully)i am going to watch harry potter 2 & 3 next week aswell. :)
i have a really aching back at the moment,i had this last time on the 2ww though,maybe it has something to do with the drugs or all the follies?or all the cleaning i have done!!!!its 9.10 and my dh is still out side messing around with the waterfall,bless him!
dagny,glad the stimming is going ok,good luck for fri,
keep up the pma buddies,i put two jelly baies to my tummy today,and i said to dh,this is what i will have next week,and he said "you better not one of them is black"i would have some explaining to do wouldn`t i? :D

Hi Loopy, Kel and DeeDee...I think most people have moved to July as their tmts will begin then. Loopy, I'll watch for you there as you'll be on 2ww with them I suspect.

Loops - don't get too attached to the fountain, when you're blessed with twins you'll have to fill it in again :shock:

DeeDee - sore boobs can be a bit of a red herring (not always). Some people get them, others don't - irrespective of their final result. Some think it related to the progesterone we've had, others test/pinch them so often - who can tell? I've had 2 positive tmts and neither with any tenderness. That said, I do now. I'm even wearing a bra at night. Not sure what to make of it. Like you, I want to think it a positive sign but am reluctant to raise my hopes that high.

Kel - looking forward to hearing from you again. Maybe I misunderstood and your Mum is ages away - hence the worry about traveling? I've booked my tickets home today. Maybe if we've both something to celebrate, we can meet up? I'll be around 24/July - 05/Aug.

I'm totally Harry Pottered out. I've demolished them all in 6 days. I've the final two chapters of No.5 left...might try and make them last a wee while yet.

Hugs,
Debra.

Morning

Debra/Shellie - thanks for the boobs advice - don't seem quite so sore this am, so I have put it down to those lovely pessaries, anyway its far to early for any other symptoms :?

Loopy - listen to you with your flash fridge - :D :D

Am planning on taking a walk to the town today (about 15mins walk), nothing to strenuous, trust me my local town is so small that you could fire a gun through the high street and not hit a soul. Have to buy some road tax, DH thought it would give me something to do - bless :o

Keep positve everyone - must go cat in dire need of love

Buddies,

Dagny, Debra, DeeDee, Loopy, Tracey, Traci, Shellie, Aly, Caz and all JCB's... I just want to thank you all so much for your support, help and laughs through this rollercoaster..
I have posted a long message on my 'help please' thread, but just to say it's over for us unfortunately.. Just feel gutted and lost, but I know it's our first go, and you are all an inspiration to us to keep going...
Hoping for all of your dreams to come true, will be thinking of you all...
Sorry that I can't be on here for a while, but I feel very sad and need a break to mend my heart really...
Love to you all,
Kel

Kel, I've posted on your other thread but understand you might not read it. 'So sorry' doesn't begin to cover it but I'm really thinking of you two now. Going away is a good idea and working again next week in Hungary will definitely help, albeit, maybe only for a bit.

We'll be here when you're ready.

love
Debra.
