Hey Nicki

That long? Aren't you going to have one in between?

If it comes, they said day 1 was the first day I started the MC, so maybe this weekend?/? Or maybe longer

Hi there, not been on here for ages, sorry. I'm winding down before a long board break whilst we're away. I'm totally un-tmt-like at the moment. Not thinking about it, definitely not doing the healthy eating thing either. I do have a plan to come back in late July minus a kg or two though. Thinking about tmt all the time began to do my head in and was ruining things between DF and I. Hence the break.

Denise. I wondered the same AF question. I was told to expect it 4-6 weeks after my ectopic and sure enough it arrived this week (=5 weeks). Possibly TMI but it's shorter and heavier than usual so far. Hopefully yours will arrive soon too. Another step to putting the past behind us and moving on.

hugs
Debra.

Its funny, Debra, that as aweful as this process has been, when I actually started to bleed and then when it stopped, it started to emotionally feel a little better. I knew it had to happen, and felt a sense of relief when it did.

Have fun on your vacation, Debra. When you're ready to come back to the boards we'll chat more then.

traci,
thanks for your words of encouragement. i am trying to stay positive but i don't want to get my hopes up too much. i was already on asa as a part of my protocol. doctor was very nice when i talked to him today about everything. he has been as aggressive as one could ask and didn't have a whole lot of things that could be done differently. he thinks that if i have the same response next cycle that i would need to consider an egg donor. i know that he is a very good doctor as i have researched different clinics and their success rate and so far his has been the best that i have found. egg donation is not an option for me so this august cycle may be it for me. i am doing everything that i can to help myself also. accupuncture,chinese herbs, exercise, working on my diet, making sure that i am getting enough sleep, meditation. if all of this doesn't help i guess that it just isn't God's will for me. Trish

Hi Trish, It definitely sounds like you are doing everything. I wish you the very best in August. I will be doing my second round in September - and I too hope for much better results (acu, chinese herbs, less stress,...). I actually took my results to my ObGyn (she is the best!) and she was totally floored at the poor quality (full of fragmentation) of my one little embryo (she knows how healthy I am)..she actually called my fertility clinic to question what was going on...

Maybe the summer sun and the fresh air will help our eggs

Debra, I understand, I live and breathe this too, but my dh is just as passionate about me getting pg. so he lives and breathes it with me. Mostly I am the boss, he can switch off I cant. But men are different than us ladies!

Anyway, enjoy ur holiday break.

How exciting my ticker has ticked over..... It's now saying 1 month!!

Yahooo!!!!!

...DF is of course hugely keen but is worried sick about what all the meds are doing to me + sees the emotional damage too. He's brilliant at supporting me but wants to know that one day I'll be ready to stop, and I'm not there yet.

Poor sod also has to listen to 1000 conversations that start with 'someone on my board.....'.

Debra.

I've been doing that alot lately.

So far DH has been understanding about my need to talk about it. He's very positive about the support I've found here.

NickiMark · Post by **NickiMark** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 4:28 pm

Yesterday, my Dh said I just dont understand what u keep chatting about the whole time. but he's happy if I am!!!

DeniseM · Post by **DeniseM** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 7:01 pm

Yeah!!

AF arrived today! I've never felt so happy about the monthly blahs as I do today. Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

I think this calls for the start of a ticker!

DebraP · Post by **DebraP** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 8:00 pm

Denise....I'm glad that you feel this way, so ready to move on. Here's to the rest of our lives

hugs
Debra
