Hi All Image

Just a quick one.

Lis - Chantelle won BB. Result! Was shocked how early Preston went out though. He was fourth leaving Maggot Michael and Chantelle. Michael was second. Chant won #25k which she didn't know about. How cool is that!!
Image . It is very sunny here! Keep up the exercise. Image . As for the tickers gie it another go. You are doing it right, maybe it didn't copy...

Anyway I have no plans for this weekend apart from housework :( . Whatever you do Phoenixes, have fun.

PS These smilies and colours are taking me ages!!!!

Nothing to forgive. :) This is so confusing with many people coming and going, there's no way to keep track properly (at least I can't!).
As you can see I tried the tickers and it worked. I copied the bbCode (and it's got to be turned on in your profile). Hope it works next time!

Hi everyone

Sorry haven't posted for a while, I've been so busy with work, went back Monday, it has been OK. This week has gone so fast. I asked about my hours, I wanted to go from 37hrs to 32.5 a wk, our company is going through a lot of changes at min and we are also merging, so I was told, maybe I should think about it because I may be more Susceptible if any changes are to be made, ie redundancies or anything else they might have up there sleeves. I am going to think about it and get back to them.

Sorry I'm not directing this to you individually, I have read all your posts though, although I would like to say congratulations JEN on the funding, thats great news.

Anyway hope everyone is doing OK, this is just a quick post as I'm going out now for a meal.

Can't believe Preston was forth in CBB. Good Chantelle won though.!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone.

Lola, good Luck honey on tues, hoping everythings good for ya xxx

Jen, Great news dear.....When u start down regg???

Eskavon!!! Hi honey!!! How are you??? Hope things are perking up u side of the country??
Gail, hello!!! Dont worry!!! It's so hard to catch up aint it!!! But we understand, geez, u have a life to live!!! Live it!!!


Me??? well, the w/end away was good, cold but good!!!! starting new job 2moro, feeling nervous!!!! and worried about house move etc.... will it happen friday? Or will it all go tit's up again???

Been chatting with dh about trying ivf instead of iui but worried about the cost?? How do we go about getting the nhs to fund it??? Who do i speak to my clinic (private) or the local hospital? or my GP????

Can u tell me how long does ivf take end to end!!!!

I am guessing this down reg thing starts amonth before the actual cycle?? So am I right in thinking you take drugs to turn of ur natural hormones off then when AF starts it's all contolled by more drugs, EC is then done when the folicles are mature? Will the follicles have released an egg before EC.... This bit confusses me???? and then hey add the sperms and place back the fertilised eggs??? AND THEN 2WW!!
Am I right?? so 2 months really??? Yeahh???? Help???? So much to learn abotu ivf???? Expert in iui and beginer in ivf!!!!!
Help !!!!

Love to ya all....... x xx

HI all

I have been at friends all sat and sun and have mega ammount of your posts to catch up with.... :shock: Glad to see all your posts...

PENNY....HELLO my buddie good to hear from you...how are ya doing????
have you and DH thought about your next step yet????

Nicki- I am on a short cycle so i don't need to down reg, i just start stimming on day 3 of AF and on day 7-8 use antagonist meds as well to stop eggs releaseing, EC on day 12 stimms...ET 3 days laeter...2ww...
For you it would be ( approx) day 21 of cycle down reg( the down reg stops the eggs releasing)...7 days later AF...then stimms inj from day 3-12 of AF...scans twice a week ...then hcg booster 36hrs before EC ( then no more stimms inj) ...then EC... 3 days later (approx) ET then dreaded 2ww. Normally takes 6wks but short cyle takes 4wks.We would hold youer hands thru it all step by step but it's all in Zita's book...I thought you had that?
NHS funded me. I was referred through the hospital by the Doctor who did my ectopic operation, but ask your G.P. It can take up to 2 years. you could ask your G.p. or clinic . Good luck.
good luck tomorrow...catch ya when you can post, but i do hope the move goes well Honey... :D

Lola- BET YA ass aint that Bad :roll: ...good luck for tuesday hope all the results are ok and yoou can cycle the same as MLG Lucy and GAil...that would be so good :) ...for colour., highlight all that you want coloured then go to the default box and click on the colour you want. TRy it again and previe the post before submitting then you can check it..LOL

Lucy..glad to hear from you...soounds good that the week passed quickly...it's just over 3 wks to your consultation... :)


hy ya GAIL...good to hear from you...take your time we will be here anyway...DF thinks i have a secret MAN on the web cause i am so addicted to this site.... :) ( he was joking by the way)

MLG your new ticker looks good....

Lisa...MLG is right, put the ticker code in the signature in your profile...good luck with it...i love them causse it's fun!!!!

Julie ---thanks Honey....SOOOOO shocked that Prest-stud came 4th...and i missed BBLB today DF said it was good...I was busy shopping with my friend, (doing my Trinny and Suzanna impression) she's just started a new job and needed some good work clothes....It's so much fun speanding others money :D

Hello again everyone, the weekend just goes to fast doesn't it, hope you all enjoyed it though.

Nicki - hope you had a nice break, good luck at work tomorrow and with the move all nxt week, hope it goes smoothly. I am same as Jen, I'm on a short cycle, start stimming on day 3. Don't know much about down regging, sorry, but I'm sure you'll find lots of info on here, any reason why your thinking of IVF this time? It is very expensive, I can't get it on NHS and have already spent £6,000 and will have to spend another 3K in March/April and I just don't have it, will prob have to get a loan. I am going to ask again though when it’s my consultation because I just don't think it is fair. They do say its because my boyf has a son, so they class us as not being a childless couple, but we are because my boyf doesn't even get to see his own son, he ex moved away, he might of fathered a child but another man is bringing up his son (much to his annoyance) I haven't had a child so where’s the fairness in that. I don't think I'll get anywhere but I'm going to ask again. Sorry for rambling.[/color]

Jeni - Can't believe its only 3 weeks until my consultation, got first AF this wkend after M/C, they wanted me to have 2 or 3 before I started nxt cycle, so lets hope my appt brings good news, I am a bit worried about having my FSH tested though, I'm scared its gone up even more. Glad you had a good wkend, I love shopping, think I'll have some of that retail therapy nxt weekend. I'm starting to feel loads better, I think its because I can't believe its nearly Feb already and I'll be cycling again before I know it, so I best be ready so kinda getting excited..!
Hope the course goes well. Have Fun.....!

Lolass - Hope you do get to cycle with me and MLG, it would be nice all us going through the next one together and then becoming pregnant buddies, like Jen says, we're all gunna be preg in 2006..... I have been really down lately, but now I am getting really excited about starting a new cycle.! Hope you enjoyed those carbs...!

MLG, Gail, Lis, Julie hope you ladies are doing OK. Sorry if I missed anyone out.
Take Care everyone

Lucy
