Hi all

LIsa- How wonderful to hear from you honey. I am ooo glad that you have decided to give your self some love and stop berating yourself for not having the energy to do everything. when you get your BFP you will realise this anyway. So here is hopeing that your embie has bedded down and is sendfing you tcencouraging thoughts to slow down and pace yourself. It's amazing how we are actually our own worst critics and judge ourselves so harshly. We let others off the hook so easily BUT not ourselves. It's a lesson i have had to learn since getting MS. But it comforting to know that you are looking after yourself now Lisa. On the house front Adam and I actually bought a smaller house and hope to keep it for a few years. Then in the future, thinking of buying a plot of land and getting a house built???? :roll: But at the moment we are focusing on Broc and our wedding in March ...( hopefully a positive ivf to keep us on our toes too!!!) Anyway honey please keep your hand in and post when you are okay saying hi. it has been wonderful to hear from you....wishing you a BFP!!! and lots of PMA during this next 2ww... love x x


Nicki- How great to hear from yuo tooo! It's so difficult to measure all your symptoms cause each pregnancy is differant anyway. I had to wait until 6 wks to test positive on my pregnancy but on my 2nd it was straight away on due date . Both were natural pregnancies but both turned out to be ectopics...so take what you can from that! Mother nature works in strange ways! Maybe your last test of hcg didn't register high enough until a week later because of embie slow growth??? I don't really know honey there are so many possibilities :shock: I do wish you all the
baby dust in the world foer your BFP! Will be thinnking of you and lisa this week ...take care and hugs to you and Mark x x


Julie Glad youve had a good weekend what were you up to?? You didn't say on your post...and i am nosey :D :D Were you out and about or was it cosy nights in for you and yours?


Kate how are you doing????


Lucy hugs to you sweetie...



I have had a busy weekend with adams parents and 4 yr old dog visiting. So as you can imagine puppy and dog had a ball and we were running around behind in their wake...It will be so much better in 3 wks when broc has had all his injections and can actually get ouside the house/garden and we can walk him on the beach/forsest ect. He slept through the night on friday night and last night but we don't know if that is because he was ...wait for it...DOG TIRED!!!!! :D :D Ha Ha! after parents in law dog chasing him atround all day! Will let you know...He is 9 wks today and is 10 kilos ( i think thats 22lbs or 1stone 8lb) a big boy!!! Anyway I gotta go and get stuff done atround the house whiles he's sleeping...he follows me everywhere...I love him so much!!!

Love to ya'll

Hi julie & Jen, good to hear from ya today, actually feeling better, kept away from the internet all day since posting this morning, as i kept searching 'early pregnancy signs' I had to stop!! But now Ive just been to the loo and ive had the largest blob of cervical mucus ever, it's exactly like the stuff you get before ovulation!! White/clear & stretchy!!

Anyway, what do u think that means?
Never had that before.

throat still sore but other wise feeling good, dh says he feels sluggish tonight so maybe something is trying to attack our immune systems!!

Loads a love to ya all, and big hug to the Doggie! x x

JEN - my weekend startd out a bit fraught...my sis moved house this weekend and it was all hands on deck. went quite smootly until we had a full blackout (our town and the adjoining town)....van half loaded and then off it went so was hard work in the dark!!! DH went on a jolly boys outing Sunday fishing so I took advantage and had a day to myself. Went shopping, some Xmas, some treats, and then had a pedicure. Just what I needed. (also got a plant for the garden for my darling bunny :cry: )

NIKKI - Glad you are feeling more positive - can't help with the discharge query.....hope the cold doens't come!

LIS/LUCY - how are you too girls doing? Love to you both x

Do you know what, I really have high hopes of BFP. I am feeling sick, and had another big blob of CM. Still full of cold but hey if it's implanted it would have done it by now, so hopefully, this cold wont effect it.

Keeping the PMA up.

Hi Phoenixes

Sorry been a bit quiet for a couple of weeks...


Julie - Can't believe what I have just read, fantastic news huni, your little embies will be where they belong on Monday and we'll be having another phoenix BFP... well I'm very excited for you so can imagine how you and DH are feeling.. don't be worrying of cause they'll accept you... And you thought it be next year when you'd be having your embies transferred, in a couple of week you'll be celebrating a BFP. xx

Nicki - I know exactly what you are going through, I think everyone of us goes through the same, it is impossible not to worry, but do try stay as positive as you can, it sounds good to me, AF type pains can be a very good sign, I was convinced AF was coming on my 2nd cycle, but it didn't, I got a BFP... I'm sorry you have a cold, its awful isn't it.. Anyway not long now, and can I say how proud I am that you haven't done a HPT and you’re waiting for the official test.. BEST WAY...!!! KEEP POSITIVE SWEETIE..

Lisa - It is great to hear from you, we've missed you.. I hope the acu helps, can I just say there is nothing worse than stress so I am glad to hear you are taking things easier and being good to yourself... I have everything crossed for you, but don't think you'll be needing it as this is your time girl, this is going to work.. you too will be celebrating a BFP very soon..!

Jen - You sound so sweet talking about your gorgeous little BROC, bless him, I bet he has you and Adam running round like headless chickens doesn't he? (Still don't know where that saying came from!) Glad you had a nice weekend at Adams parents.. What you up to this week? Anything nice? How's the wedding plans coming on, is there much more to do? Any news when your starting tmt will it def be after xmas now? Anyway hun take Care. xx

Gail - Hi, hope you and baby are doing OK? Have you decided on any names yet? Or are you waiting until she is born until you tell us all.? We will understand if you are...


MLG - Hope you are doing OK too, can't believe you are nearly there, only a few more weeks to go... bet you are so excited aren't you, but also understandably nervous..!


LOLA IF YOU STILL CHECK PHOENIXE NEWS - CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BFP.....!

Hi to anyone else I may of missed..

Went to see Blood Brothers last night with my sister it was really good, I have seen it before but a couple of years ago, I really enjoyed it.. Can't wait for Saturday Night Fever to come again, that is fantastic, I love all the 70's disco and the dancing is brilliant... wish I could move like that..!! My friend once had a 70's party and after a few Vodka's, Wine's etc, I gave it a good go, oh god the memory isn't a nice one... HOW EMBARRASSING... AT Least we had a good giggle..!

Still waiting for my consultation to come through to discuss when I can start tmt again, hoping to do my next cycle in Feb, hoping my consultant allows that..

Did any of you watch the "Child against all odds" programme on Tuesday. What did you think? Looking forward to the next episodes.!

Can I just ask any of you if you've found that your family don't understand what you are going through (especially the men) had an argument with my dad that’s all, he just doesn't get it... I cried nearly all Sunday because of what he said to me.. it is a long story, but to cut a long story short, he came round to see me with his wife and his wife's granddaughter (6 months old) I got very upset, they just looked at me and said they'd leave, I felt really bad but couldn't help how I felt, my dad said I was being very selfish and had to stop making other people feel uncomfortable (WHAT???) He said I had to get a grip of myself (WHAT???) Anyway they left and later that night my sister phoned me to say she'd had my dads wife on the phone saying, she thought I was singling her granddaughter out, as I never want to see her, she said this has been going on 2yrs with me and I need to start seeing the bigger picture.... she also said loads of other stuff that I won't go into.. but I don't think I'll be talking to either of them in a hurry, they have both hurt me so much....And do you know what I did.? I even sent her (my dads wife) a message, saying I was sorry if I upset her, I don't meant on make anyone feel awkward, its just that I'm going through a pretty hard time at mo and find it hard to cope with sometimes...blah blah, guess what, didn't even get anything back..... and who is suppose to be the young one here.. YES ME.!

Honest I couldn't believe what I was hearing, haven't they got a clue.???? Do you know what her daughter forgot to take her pill one night and hay hoo she's preg... they haven't got a clue what its like to go through this heartache and pain... if they want to be so cold hearted than fine by me...

Do you know what, they know I got a neg last week and they haven't even said anything.. I don't even think it’s that they don't know what to say, they just can't be arsed... there bored of it all now, that’s the way I see it anyway..!

Sorry for ranting on, it prob doesn't even make sense as I'm rushing..

Sorry girls, needed to get that out..

Love to ya all..

Lucy
