Wendy,
Your attitude is a model for us all. Still, I have to swear a little about your results #^@(*!
Sorry, but you've worked so hard and you deserve better!!!
Please take care of yourself and dh while you get through this and on to the next step.
(I'm going to go punch something for you now)

Wendy,
Sorry to hear that it didn't work this time. But keep your hope still high because it will succeed. Poisitive attitude is a must for success in ivf.
Cheerup and be sure your next attempt will be a success.

wendy i just wanted to let you know that i was thinking of you...

Hello All,
Still no news from Dancia yet?

Minnow - I guess your time is rapidly approaching now. Are you still doing ok? Are you excited?

I'm now thoroughly bored already and I'm planning to have another 2 weeks off work yet!!!!! To make matters worse dh is away until late tomorrow night, my Mum and Day are also away until Sunday and my friends all seem to be busy!! I know I should enjoy the time to myself (I would ordinarily) but right now I'm bored. All of the things I love to do, gardening, diy, cycling are off limits as I'm trying to take it really easy. I do have a tendency to do things 'full on' so I'm avoiding anything physical this cycle. I know that the clinic said, just don't do anything sill, but I'm not taking any chances. The biggest down side is that I feel every twinge in my body as I have nothing else to think about and I know it is too soon to feel anything, either if it is bfp or bfn.

Hope everyone else is doing ok - people seem to be coping well with the wait. Keep up the PMA

Love
Debbie

Debbie....poor you! Some ideas:

* reorganise all your music collection. Into alpha or style etc.
* track down all photos lying around the house and put them into albums. If you're good at this already, are all albums notated?
* write/paste all your favourite recipes into a personal recipe book
* get ready for spring and start (gently) tidying all drawers and cupboards.
* mend any clothes that need buttons etc.

This list sounds like something from the 50s but it must be better than nothing!

Debra (who never does any of the things above herself!)

hi all.
hope everyone is doing ok - or as much as is expected! Debbie, can understand your boredom..the wait is utterly awful. however, i think on the whole the time has gone reasonably quickly and it is only these very few last days that are dragging. i am still having the odd AF type pain, seems to come and go. my tender boobs seemed to go on thurs or fri. i have always taken my temperature and charted in the past and my temperature remains high, but that is no real indication i think!

we have talked long and hard about the result and whilst it would be amazing to have a +ve, we are prepared for the negative. it is just better that way for us. i had really started to believe i might be pregnant and now feel that i want to stay positive but also not set myself up for a massive fall. i will do a HPT either tomorrow or the morning of the blood test. i know this will send some of you into spasms (!) but i need to have some advance warning even if it turns out to be wrong! hard to explain really but we both feel the same way.

we have a nice quiet weekend planned so will just take it easy until test day. wishing the best to all of you.

debbie - will be so impressed if you can do some of those brilliant ideas that Debra gave you. most of those need doing in my home and i will see if i can manage one of them today.

love to all.

Hello All,
Debra - thanks for the ideas. I have thought about doing some of them already but just can't seem to get myself going. We're moving house in May so next week I think I'll begin to make lists of things to do - who to inform of change of address etc etc. I'm not too sure about the recipies! My idea of cooking is to bung something simple in the oven! Not really into it at all. In fact I'd be happy if I never had to cook again ever!!!

Minnow - hang on in there. I take it that af has not shown up yet so that must be good news. I can understand the hpt before you go for the blood test. I'm planning to do that myself (if I get that far of course).

Keep having fun

Love
Debbie

gosh debbie. you've got a lot on.... IVF and moving. has it been excessively stressful? i am really keen to move but my dh has been suggesting we wait to see the outcome of the IVF and see how long it takes before we take something else on. he is probably being wise as my tendency is to take too much on at the same time and i am not on the whole very good with stress. however i would love to look forward to the possibilities of a new house if we can cope and afford it. time will no dobt tell.....

i am spending the morning eating yummy food and reading a very good special section in the Times which deals with fertility and infertility.. i had no idea Gaby Logan was pregnant with twins through IVF! havent read all yet but it gives lots of info on diet and cost of drugs etc.

on that note, we got our drugs at the clinic and they were definitely at the top end of the charges. i just wondered whether anyone out there had got private prescriptions from anyoe and got their drugs more cheaply elsewhere??

have a good weekend all

Hello Minnow,
Sounds like the article you were reading was interesting. I got my drugs from the clinic too, which was expensive - although I've no idea of they were expensive in comparison to elswhere, except I did need to get another bottle of syneral spray at a local chemist and that was more expensive than the clinic for a bottle half the size!!!! I left dh to sort it out which was a big mistake. If I'd have known the price I'd have made other arrangements.

I too have a tendency to take on too much. The moving house has been going on for a while - we've done a house exchange with the builders who are building our new house which has been really simple and as we're only moving a mile down the road it's not too traumatic. I am also in the middle of an MSc which has now been totally screwed up my me having to take it easy. I've got to see if I can get an extension on it as I'm now not going to have time to do everything I need before I have to hand it in!!!! I do like to make my life hectic!!! Part of the reasoning for doing the study was to keep trying to give myself something to aim for as we had been ttc for ages and I needed to convince myself that there was more to life than having a baby but now all I can think about is babies so the MSc is really getting a raw deal.

Hope things go ok for you on Monday.

Keep up the PMA

Love
Debbie

how interesting. I have done the opposite to you and having done all the training for my MSc (psychotherapy) in the last few years, i have now put off starting the dissertation aspect whilst i get my head around what's going on baby-wise! i do need to start (and finish) it though as i can see me finding more and more excuses not to do it and that would be an awful waste. I am now purely working from home which gives me a lot more time so really i should bite the bullet and get on with it. i have twice-yearly opportunities for submitting up to a max of 5 years post training so that allows me to procrastinate a bit!! i finished the training in aug 2003.

am v impressed that you are managing it all and it sounds like you are. well done. what is your masters in??

just thought AF had started but it was a false alarm!!
