Hi ladies,

Tiger I think you're amazing to cope with all the travel and relocating you have to do. I'll certainly be keeping my fingers crossed that you get to try a full cycle sometime this year - I'm sure it'll happen. On the plus side at least you're going to be with DH - I know you hated not being together, which was completely understandable.

MissMolly I hope you're feeling a bit better today - it is such a tough process but try and hang in there and I'm sure it'll all come together for you soon.

Bel and Jomae glad to hear things are going well for you, and congratulations angeleyes on your BFP!

JosieMack I was logging in to wish you all the best for bub's arrival and it looks like it could be happening right now! How exciting! I'll definitely check in on the weekend to hear your news.

I've got just under 3 weeks to go til my due date now. The baby's head is down but not fully engaged yet, BP is fine and at this stage Doc reckons he/she will arrive on time. Today I'm off to the hospital for a breastfeeding class (they run seminars for mums-to-be beforehand as well as while you're admitted). DH and I finished packing my bags last night and I'm doing the last load of baby-stuff laundry today.

Cheers

Hi all,

Josie, gosh, it's all happening for you probably at this very minute, I can't wait to hear your news..make sure you log on and let us know..

Deanne, sounds like your bundle will be a couple of weeks yet. The breastfeeding prep classes I found excellent, very worthwhile, good on you for doing this. Answered a lot of my questions (though of course I had more once Annie was here)..All the best, and do keep us updated won't you?

Tiger, ahh mate, you rack up the frequent flyer points don't you!!..And of course you'll get to do a full cycle this year..this is YOUR year Tiger, it's gonna happen for you..I just know it!!

MissMolly, the IVF rollercoaster is crappy at the best of times, sorry you're going through a bad time. I used to feel teary fairly frequently to be honest, but what Tiger says is true, all has gone well thus far with down regging, and the rest will go swimmingly as well. Chin up lovely!

All good here, tired and sick but good..

B

Ahh, mismolly, nothing like a bit of boy band love ballads to get that PMA up!

I started my Lucrin injections today. Last time I took Synarel, so not fun having to do injections instead of nasal spray. And I broke out in a nasty rash afterwards! Oh well... I have a blood test next Friday & if all is OK, then I start FSH next Saturday....OMG, I can't wait! DH is going overseas next Friday as well, so will have to do the injections myself :-(

How is everyone going? So much action... babies, pregnancies, boy bands...so hard to keep up!

Hi all,

Just a quick message from me. Bella - you are right - a little boy band action can make a girl feel really good!!!! The concert was the best I have ever seen! They were sooooo good. The crowd was 95% screaming females (myself included! :oops: ). It put me in a fantastic mood.

I have had two injection so far. I have a blood test on Monday to see how it is going.

I am off to see a play tonight. It is called The Spelling Bee. It's got Magda from Kath & Kim in it - I hope its funny.

Have a great weekend

Cheers, Tiger

Hi All,

Happy news from my sis today. She is pregnant!!! I am so happy for her, I wasn't sure how I would feel but now that it has happened, I am so proud of her. She is an only sibling I have got - so it is a relief to know that she has no fertility issues like me, yay.

MissMolly, how did you go with BT?

Cheers, Tiger

Hi all - well , it has happened!!!! We were delighted to welcome Matilda Charlotte ('Tilly') into our lives at 4.59 am on Thursday, 2 Feb, weighing 6lb10 - she is just adorable - we came home from hospital yesterday morning. The big kids (and parents!) can't get enough of her - one of the midwives joked that she won't learn to walk until she is five, because se will have so many people running around after her.

She has dark silky hair and a calm, peaceful personality (so far!), and looks at the world with great seriousness. While we know she can't smile yet, her mouth makes these little twitches, and we are happy to convince ourselves that she really is smiling at us already.

I will have a look for the photo bucket and see if DP and I can work out how to post a couple of pics - he is home for the next week or so, which is great.

It is great to be home - I felt like a bit of a fraud in hospital, and probably could have come home on the day she was born, although it was great to have a nice long rest. I had organised for my Mum to fly over from Tassie on the Thursday afternoon, and when she arrived, Dad came with her, which was a wonderful suprise - they went back on Sunday, but are coming back for the Cth Games in March, so it will be interesting to see what changes they see in that short space of time.

Thanks for your best wishes everyone, this has been a great board on which to share the journey - Deanne - the time will fly for you now, with only a couple of weeks to go - do you still have an EDD of the 16th? That was our date to. Tiger - sometimes life always seems to be about making sacrifices, but make sure you don't lose sight of what you need to do for yourself too.

Off to see if we can post some pics .... don't hold your breath!

Jo - Congratulations :D :D :D :D :D . Tilly is one of my favourite names - its so pretty. She sounds so precious. I am so glad that everything went so perfectly. I can't wait to see a photo.

Tiger - blood test was not so good. My levels are a little low, so I have to stay on a higher dose of FSH. The nurse thinks my levels will be fine by Friday - I bloody hope so!!!!! Congrats to your sister & to you for taking the news so well - I'm sure these situations can be a little difficult to handle.

Some of our friends are now trying to get pregnant really quickly as one of their parents just found he has terminal cancer. They would love to have a baby before he passes away. It is really sad - he is only 57. I hope they get pregnant ASAP.
