Hi everyone....It's Friday night...hurrah

i just popped in to say hello before i go and get my dinner...and a HUGE glass of wine...
I have been eating healthily all week and went walking today at lunch for 30 mins so i deserve it!

Lucy- Good news with the appointment...lets hope you get your wish to cycle in March be good to yourself next week when you are back at work. When i went back after 10wk ectopic i was shattered for the next month. I was trying too hard to bury myself in work to take my mind off things. You have a close goal to reach in March so take care of you Honey!

Nicki- my you sound on top of the world girl!!! Changing jobs , house and lifestyle with all this healthy eating and getting fit. What a way to go. You will be so fit by the time May comes. You'll be bumped up before you know it! Fab PMA!

Lisa- you did what you did to protect yourself...it was the right thing to do please don't feel guilty. well done with the body pump class...are you sore today? or are you a fab fitty already? We are all gonna get fit and ready to carry these 2006 babies

Lola and Sally let us know your dates when you have them of anything that will make the next few months go quicker...ta

love to everyone

Hi Girls just popping in to say hello before joining Jenny with a huge glass of wine!

Lucy - I feel for you having to go back to work next week. Take care of yourself honey and think positive thoughts about March

Nicki!my oh my!! I hope some of your PMA rubs off on me girl (and the orange thing!!)and still with you on the green tea

Jeni I hope you are enjoying your wine - Friday night wine, the first glass is always the best! I'm a bit sore after body pump but I have to confess I'm a bit of a gym bunny. I teach aerobics as a hobby (altho none at the mo) but all this bad news and new journey has upset my routine and I've hardly been for a couple of months now but looking forward to getting back to my 4 times weekly stint! Going jogging tomorrow morning and looking forward to getting sweaty. Oooh err missus!!

How's everyone else??

Speak to you all tomorrow

Lis you really made me laugh about where DH thought the acupuncture needles would go, I told my DH he didn’t laugh he just winced. I know that feeling so well of people shoving baby photos in your face, my only way of coping is to walk away. Its strange I want a baby so so much but I cant cope with being around them or pregnant women.
What do you like so much about the gym, how do you stay motivated

Sally hope it gets sorted out which Country you are going be in, what are the options of where you may be going

Lola I laughed so much reading about your Tube of Satan and wombland, I know its all such a serious subject but you really brightened it up with what you said

Jen I can promise you I am not a fitness fanatic, I wish I were. I need you all to push me to keep going to the gym, Id much rather stay at home with a glass of wine. Ive been really good and healthy and exercising for the last two weeks and I weighed myself yesterday and I have put 1lb on

Lucy I hope you are really busy at work on Monday so you don’t get time for people to start asking tricky questions or have to listen to the baby talk. You have certainly had a rough 6 months.

Nicky, are you changing companies or changing jobs with in the company? I keep thinking of changing jobs but I think I will wait until after my FET now. Infertility seems to rule my life

Jen and Lis hope you enjoyed you glass of wine last night.

Hi Girls going to visit the parents tonight and tomorrow so last posting before I go. Wil touch base again on Monday.

Gail, just find something you really enjoy doing exercise wise. I mix aerobics with body pump, treadmill, body combat and cycling. I have so much energy when I exericse so that keeps me going. Its a great stress buster too.
My friend is pg at the mo and due to pop in February 4 days after dh's biopsy. Don't think I can handle the hospital visit - dread telling her that......
Dh has given up caffeine completely which is MAJOR and reducing his booze intake so thinking i should give him a break even if no needles are going near his willy!

Jeni, did you buy anything nice when you shopped? Also how do you do all these cartoons - loved the one of me pumping iron! Also have another (but irrelevant ) date to add - going to see Mama Mia at Playhouse on 3/4/06.

Nicki when exactly do you move?

Lola also loved the humour...... we need it so nice one!

Sally how's you this weekend?

Lucy, good luck on Monday will be thinking of you.

See you Monday after my visit to the in laws!

Lisa xx

No exact move date yet!!!

Moving departments really, so not really a new job I guess!!!

Gotta rush sorry.....

[MLG]

Hi to all
This is just the thread I need!

Had first ICSI November and was told I'd have to wait 3 to 4 months before next try so still don't know when next tmt is. Having consultation on the 19th so will probably have more definite news then.

Also trying to get back into shape, to feel that I'm doing something and hopefully to help tmt.
Started exercising (starting slowly! ) but not really dieting (yet).

A big HI and welcome to MLG...good to see you again me nov-embie buddy. Good on you for working with getting back into shape...many of us here are doing the same thing. the fertility drugs play havock with putting on a few pounds or two don't they!!!


Lisa...go to http://www.cheesebuerger.de - go into the smilies section- choose your icon by clicking on it- it will highlight the code in blue on the bottom of your screen- go into etit on your comp and copy it- return to your post and paste it on your reply...good luck... most of the shopping i was doing was this . But i have booked tues off work and am hitting the sales to get an outfit for dinner dance in feb...

gail how are you doing??? I am NOT going to comment on you putting 1pound of weight on?????? AND being worried...Come on gail 1 lb is nothing...I put 4 pounds on everytime AF comes...and i am not over weight. I do think the fertility drugs contribute to slowing down metabolism and i have put on 7 pounds since last ivf and i watched what i ate. think it's down to the body getting ready for baby. A laying down of reserves is a good thing cause i had very bad morning sickness when i was last preg. I needed it!!!
We will keep you motivated tho. I love exercise and couldn't live without it it's my stress buster.I was very fit in my 20's and early 30's now i just mountainbike and ski, gym got too boring for me. though i do like free weights...Body pump body balance ans spinning were my fav's too. keep it up girl!!!!

Nicki you were up early this morning...and it's was such a COLD Sunday morning.I just stayed like a lazy bones in bed!!! then went out woith DF for a lovely lunch...Mmn! was a good way to start Sunday off.

A big Hi to Lucy, Sally, Lola hope you are okay girls!!!

love and hugs

Hi Everyone

Lis you are so good with your keep fit, I must keep up and follow your example. Does your friend know the problems you are having trying to conceive, if she does hopefully she will understand you not wanting to go the hospital. If she doesn’t understand, Tough, you have to do what is right for you. One of my friends is pregnant at the moment, I found out the day I had a BFN from my FET, I have emailed her to say congratulations but I cant face asking her lots of questions or seeing her bump grow. It was a honeymoon baby, 1st month of trying arrrrrrrr. I feel such a horrible person.

Welcome MLG, we may end up cycling the same time, im planning on April / May time. Hows the fitness going, its hard work isn’t it and I have no will power.

Jen I know a 1lb is nothing but I thought, as I had been SO good I deserved to lose some. I am planning on doing a spinning class they have a beginners session at my gym starting 31st so thought I would break myself in gently. I did go for a swim tonight so at least I have done something. How are you?

Nicky you are a girl after my own heart, I am an expert at excuses. Have you thought about going to an exercise class straight from work or maybe going swimming? Its definitely easier than going home then going out. I have just eaten tea, very healthy Salmon and rice but now got serious munchy attack, AF is due Friday, maybe I can use that as an excuse

How is everyone, hope you all had a good day at work

[Lis]

Hi Phoenixes !!

Just a quckie. Hope you all had a good weekend.

Welcome MLG to the foxy phoenixes!!

Gail, your detemination and dedication on the fitness front is truly commendable - keep up the good work.

Jeni, thanks for the cheesebeurger thing - I'll try it out after this. Loved the wee iron pumping man - I pull the same faces during body pump

Lucy how was work yesterday and today?

I went for counselling with dh this morning - didn't know what to expect but dh found it really useful - glad cos I think when its male factor they tend to bottle it all up. I ended up bubbling half way through but its better out than in probably. Good news is I might cycle (pending biopsy result) earlier than July because I have a nursing appointment in April and apparently they only give you that when you're nearly ready to cycle so ? May/ June.

How is everyone else?? Nicki? - you crazy chick?!
