July 2WW - chat

[cmg]

Hi all,

thought it was about time I joined this thread. Still can't really believe I'm on my 2ww. I've been really good about resting (to be honest, I'm very good at lounging around doing nothing), but having Wimbledon and live8 has given me something to keep me occupied.

My bloating has gone down quite a lot, so my ovaries have stopped pressing on my gut and giving me crippling wind, which is a relief. Today I did go out for a little walk as my back was starting to seize up from too much lying around. I live in a hilly area and I did worry a bit about walking up hill in case it was too strenuous but I can't really believe it could make that much difference.

DH has started talking me through visualising our embies implanting - he did it last thing last night and I drifted off to sleep imagining it, which was lovely. I find it hard to focus on it on my own and it's a nice way of him being involved. The only thing is, I don't want all 3 of them to implant, so it's really hard to know how to visualise it.

I'm surprised by how positive I feel at the moment and not that worried. Because I'm starting to feel physically more and more back to normal, I'm sometimes afraid I'll forget and do something stupid, like lift something heavy.

Anyway, glad to hear everyone else seems to be doing well. Holly, hope you're having fun with your newly returned DH!

Glad to see you sounding so positive - keep it up and good luck with the focusing.

Take care of yourself

Hi girls,
Sorry i've been offline for a few days, was working all day Friday and Sunday and it was our towns Gala Day on Saturday so i took the day off work as a holiday, it was a great day and we had a BBQ at night but i was shattered and in bed by 10pm, it's the first Gala Day in i don't know how many years that i haven't been wasted, it was so hard being the only sober one (well, apart for my very pg, immature 21yr old sis-in-law, who needs a major attitude adjustment). That reminds me, i forgot to tell you this. The day i phoned the clinic to get the time to go in for my transfer, my mil and sil came round to find out the details, mil asked when i would be testing, so i said a couple of weeks later, she turned to sil and said "oh, that's when you'll be having your baby". She really doesn't think before she opens that big gob of hers, that was the last thing i wanted to hear just after finding out about my transfer. Sorry, rant over.

Anyways, i've got exactly 1 week left til test day and i'm STILL not feeling at all positive. As i'm on a natural cycle, my AF is due on Wednesday, i'm having the usual painful pre-af cramps, bloatedness, backache and moodiness, one thing that is different though is usually a week before it's due i get really sore boobs and spots on my chin, neither is there but i still know that AF will appear on Wednesday. Sorry, i'm just feeling really down about it all today and i'm so tired, even though i slept in til almost 12pm, hopefully i'll feel a bit better tomorrow.

My brain is frazzled at the moment and even though i've just read through this thread to find out what everyone has been up to, i've forgotten already.
So, welcome to all the new 2wwers and good luck to those about to test. I'll try again tomorrow, hopefully it won't be as frazzled then
Take care and talk to you all soon.
Lotsa love

Sounds like a bumper issue of PMA for you my dear. Get rid of all those evil negative thoughts and remember to stay positive and full of +ve vibes.

Take care and look after yourself.

Hi Michelle, so sorry about your hugely insensitive mil!!! People DO NOT get it, when they say or do stupid things, for example...my sil who is 21 and pregnant for the third time, came over for a cookout this weekend and just happened to bring this monitor thing that lets you listen to the baby's heartbeat, well she took it out and said "does anyone want to hear our baby's heartbeat??" what was I supposed to say "NO you insensitive *****" so I listened! My mom said to me later on how she thought my sil was an ignorant, horrible twit...I can't agree more

love Sammy

Hi 2wws..
How are you all holding up??
Blowing Baby Dust and Patience your way..
Hang in there!

Hi everyone

Michelle, sorry to hear you are feeling negative - or were yesterday. Today's a different day and maybe you feel better. All the AF signs you mention are also pregnancy signs so there is absolutely no need to convince yourself that the unwelcome one is on her way.

Sammy, even leaving aside the insensitivity to your feelings, which was pretty crass, why on earth would your SIL think people at a cookout (is that like a barbie?) would want to listen to her baby's heartbeat? I should think a lot of people would feel like they couldn't say no but actually might not really want to or might not actually be that interested. Seems like that thing where people believe their child is the most interesting child in the universe. You'd think she might have got over it by the third one! And 3rd one at 21? God I feel old. I'm old enough to be her mother!

Lumi, how are you doing, my other ET buddy? Hope you're getting plenty of rest.

Holly, as I've posted elsewhere, sorry it didn't work out this time. Glad DH is back to support you.

Smita, thanks for the baby dust - we seem to need it looking at the July test thread. And I think the patience is even more welcome! Love that gold colour script, BTW, looks really positive.

Sand & Little P, thanks for your unstinting support. I don't know how you do it.

I haven't really got much to report. Feel fine, am taking it very easy. Wish it would stop raining as today I was thinking that I'd wander in to town and potter about a bit. Oh well, maybe this afternoon.

Caroline

Just wanted to jump in and check that you are all ok - remember we're here for you if you have any worries.

Hope that you are all coping - I know it's a nightmare, but hopefully it will be over for you girls soon.

Keep smiling

Hiya girlies,
Just a quickie at the moment.
Thanks for all the encouraging responses, it really does help that you all know how i'm feeling.
I'm feeling a wee bit more positive today the pains are still there but i've found something to take my mind off things for a while. DH decided to strip the hallway at the weekend so i've decided to take over glossing all the frames and skirtings (all doors and windows wide open), it's actually quite theraputic, just taking a break for 5 and going back to it.
Hope everyone is well.
Take care and talk to you all soon.
Lotsa love

Michelle

Watch out for fumes, Michelle!

I am working (one more day to go!) so feeling very tired and came and slept yeseterday - no time to post. I feel so much more positive this time that it completely scares me. Having top grade embies put us both in such good moods that I am now worried! I am worried about DH as he is SO EXCITED - I know it's a good thing really but I dont want him to have a big fall. I am so pragmatic about situations and dont put a lot into this grade thingy, but I start thinking if it doesnt work with 2 grade ones, there must be something else wrong with me

Sorry to go on and on! I feel just how I felt last time as far as symptoms go- at least this time I am not assessing each twinge as I know boobs/swollen belly is due to the meds.

Its been good to hear how others are coping. Sammy - sorry about the mil.

Caroline - lovely to have you here! Is is still raining? It is so cold today.

Holly , Smita etc Love to you

Big hugs and huge amounts of PMA sweetie. You're halfway now and I know it feels like the longest wait ever, but this is the downward slope.

Try and stay focused on a positive outcome, I know it's hard because you don't want to get your hopes up, but positive thinking is a healthy state of mind.

Take care of yourself and sending loads of Baby Dust floating over you.

Little P

[lumi]

Thanks Little P

How was your barbie? Tears and stuff??

You said it - it was a very emotional day. I can honestly say nothing prepared me for how I would feel.

I hope that you are feeling a bit more positive - hang in there won't you, you are doing great

Love and hugs

Hello everyone - I'm a bit quiet at moment because computer is down stairs and I've been in such pain since collection that I've been staying in bed but I wanted to let people know that I'm thinking of them. We got 8 eggs collected and 5 fertilised which is less than last time but I'm staying positive because it's only the quality that counts rather than the amount. Hopefully they'll be good quality - I find out tomorrow when they put them back. Love to everyone, sending you all special luck, Cherylx

[Sand]

You've got plenty there Cheryl .. as you say - quality not quantity ..! Take it easy now, until ET (and beyond !) .. you need to prepare your body as much as possible ..

Good luck !
