Pheonixes Hi ya all

gail good to hear from you and i can go with your vibes about not wanting a big baby... at 35wks 5 and a half is good though sounds like beanie babe is doing good. Lets hope her entry into the world soon ( and hopefully not a too painfull one for you) ...It must be getting to the stage when you just can't wait to hold her in your arms...bliss!

Kate- Oh Honey the dreaded 2nd week of 2ww...Nightmare...One minute up the next down and hormones all over the place...sweetie NOTHING i can say will take the ache away of wanting to know...but as you were med free an htp will show a good result on thursday and clearblue is good...I found them anyway. Only 3 more sleeps honey fingers and toes x x sending more ***BABY DUST*** and PMA your way!!!


Nicki- bloomin Hell what a nightmare... how is your mega leak now!!!???? Always stress when you need it the least, eh? At least you have some good news on the ivf front and you'll be starting for sure in March!!! WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Julie- Hope AF comes soon...always the way :roll: never there when you want her...arrving when you don't :roll: :roll: Mother nature eh!!! :roll: :roll: Hope it all starts soon for you honey...hate the wait too as we are excited for you and Nicki going at the same time. I thought Lucy was too?

Lucy whwere are you we are worried about ya honey. Hope all is well and that you are just taking a break from the site. We will hear from you soon ...i hope that ivf is still going ahead as planned for March. x x

Souris and MLG hi to you guys x x


Anna good to hear from you and poop in any time...we wish yu well with your last few weeks of being pregnant...Do you know what sex of babe you are having????


Lisa- Hows our new preggy mum doing? still on cloud 9...HOW are you managing to keep it secret?????


I am feeling a lot better today. had a restful weekend and managed a couple of ski runs on the sunny Sunday morning 8) 8) First time in years that i have worn sunglasses ski-ing in Bonnie Scotland! Met friends for lunch and slept all afternoon while Adam took friends and Broc for a long walk. So it was a really restful weekend.

Was at counselling today for pre egg donor treatment and it brought up lots of grief around not being able to use my own eggs. I am okay about it just needed a good cry about the loss of using my eggs. :cry:
Know the baby will be mine and Adams whatever, as i will have nurtured he/she through 9 months . ( notice the PMA here girls!!! I AM gonna get preggers this year :wink: :wink: )

So loving baby dust to us all

Hi Girls,

Nickie - how is the house? has all the flooding been sorted and now its a case of tidying up afterwards? In answer to your question I did enjoy half term and I teach PE to 11-18yr olds. Must be mad I know but it pays the bills and after 10yrs I'm not sure that there is anything else I am qualified to do!!!

Julie - how is the wait for AF? Sod's law isn't it, she never does what she is supposed to do!! Mrach will soon come around though and then it will be you on the 2WW

Jen - your weekend sounded lovely. I wish I could just up and go skiing, not that I'm very good mind you! It would be nice just to go away and relax with friends.

Lisa and Gail - how are the preggies ones? Gail not long now, I can imagine you don't want the baby to get too big in the next few weeks, a small baby sounds much nicer!!

Lucy - how's you? Hope everything is ok

As for me, trying to keep the PMA going, although finding it more difficult each day. I'm still having the cramps most mornings and today they were quite painful. I normally don't get anything and if I do its only really mild, so perhaps its a good sign? I do have really sore BB's, although that is probably down to the pessaries, so can't read much into it. All in all I'm not sure what to think, but until Thursday I won't know!! :D

Catch you later

Kate :D

Just popped in to say Kate BUCKET LOADS OF PMA!!!!!!!! BABY DUST GALORE!!!!!!!! I think the cramping sounds positive esp as you've had it for quite a few days now but no other symptom to suggest AF is coming. Have everything crossed for you. xxx

I will pop in again in the next couple of days (for Kate's good news!) of course and for personals and catch up as I am really tired at the mo and going through the nauseous stage :( so don't have much staying power). But have read all your posts and will talk to you all inna day or 2. But big hugs to all of you, catch up soon xxx :wink:

Jen I am glad that you managed to get a few ski runs in and that you are feeling a lot better. I bet the counselling was tough, its good to have a cry and get all your feelings out in the open, as you say you will be carrying the baby for 9 months and there is no greater feeling than that, feeling the first movement the hiccups and everything the baby will be yours and Adams right from the moment of implantation.

Kate how are you feeling? I read the post that says your thinking of testing early, have you decided yet? Keep up the PMA, sore BB’s are really good (obviously not nice but a good sign!!) Sending you tons of PMA for that BFP.

Lisa the tiredness does get better after 12 weeks (it does come back again in the 3rd trimester though!) I was only sick a couple of times but the feeling sick isn’t nice. Eating crisps seemed to help mine, not healthy I know but it did the trick, could be why I have put nearly 3 stone on plus also carrying an extra stone from the previous IVF cycles!!!!!!!!

Hi to everyone else.

I am please to say that the midwife confirmed yesterday that my baby is head down and she shouldn’t turn around again, so just got to wait now. Poor little girl keeps getting hiccups though, bless her.

Hi Girls,

Have posted on another thread but thought I'd let you know it was a BFN again for me. Absolutely gutted and now not sure how much more I can put myself through. I haven't even cried about this negative one which is really strange, I just feel numb and at a loss as to why it keeps failing.

Don't even think I'm going to have a follow up appointment, they can never tell me anything useful about why it may not work, all I evre get is 'well everything looked really good, it must just be one of those things'!! :evil:

Oh well, not much I can do about it now. I do have 2 more frosties left and I'm thinking once they are used up that will be it for me on this IVF rollercoaster. Can't put myself through anymore mental torture ( and the physical side hasn't done my body any favours either!!).

Hope everyone else is doing ok? Thanks for all the support tho, it really helped :D

Kate :D

Kate, honey. I am sorry, your post tugged at my heart strings. Its so hard, and unexplained infertility is even harder, I know!!! We were the same with 5 iuis and 5 BFN's, the clinic says, well it should work you are fine and everything inside is fine, blah blah blah, so why isnt it working???

My dad always said when he was alive'what will be, will be,' so i do live by that moto, and like you, if we get bfn this time, thats the end, we are jumping off the rollercoaster, it's f***'s up your mind your life and everything!!!

So just want to say sending you big hugs, and you tke time to grieve, and try to be good to yourself. Dont rush into the FET, take time and make sure u are ready.

LOve 'n' hugs

Kate posted on the other thread -I am so so sorry honey. You will need some time out now from all of this to allow you and dh to come to terms with it all and get strong again. Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nicki - how are you feeling? Stressl levels going down any?? Hope the housegets sorted soon honey xxx

Jen wow only 9 more days!!! You must be so excited!! I am excited!! Its come round so quick. Hope you are feeling better after your appt. It certainly helps to get it all out. Pent up emotions are never good. When you get your BFP you will be so excited, the thought won't even cross your mind that your precious bundle to be is anything other than 100% yours. I see my dh at the moment and he is so excited and proud - no one would ever guess how our wee pea has been conceived ... hugs to you sweetie xxxxx

Gail - not long to go now! How are you feeling about the birth? Got your plan sorted out? Re sickness - it has helped me to eat little and often. I can't eat loads at one time but have to keep munching every couple of hours. :)

Lucy - worried about you honey - hope everything is ok and you are getting ready for your next cycle.

Julie - has Af arrived yet?? Not long for you either hun :wink:

Dh and I are off this week on hols - have been doing some serious spring cleaning but off to visit the relies today for a couple of days then a night in Glasgow at my friends gorgeous new posh pad :wink: So I'll ctch up with you all athe weekend or early next week xxxx

Hi to MLG LUCY SOURIS and anyone i have missed.


I woke up this morn with a full on cold...or yeuk. at least it will be all gone when we fly next saturday.
I have all my clothes and weding stuff layed out in the spare room and wedding dress in a cover so Adam can't see it! I have bought a little silver heart shaped box that the wedding rings fit in to take them up the mountain. And have got a Quach ingraved for Adams wedding pressie from me. a Quach is a Scottish double handled toasting cup made of silver. So we can toast each other with champers after the ceremony. The wedding planner from Canada e mailed me today to book time for us to all meet up on the Monday ( 2 days before the wedding)and look at where on the mountain we want to get hitched. Ohhh exciting times ahead. Hope to be goinjg away this weekend to meet up with my Mum and Dad ( we see Adams parents before we fly as they are watching Broc for us). It will be the last time i see my mum and dad with my Maiden name. :shock: But it's all good now the nerves have gone just left excitment.

Love to ya all enjoy the weekend

love jen

Hi girls,

Just popping in to say a big thank you! Talking to you guys makes the whole IVF/ BFN process just that little bit easier. Kind of trying to put it to the back of my mind otherwise I think I will get upset and its not going to help me by doing that.

Just a question tho, I stopped taking the pessaries yesterday after the test and thought AF would have shown up by now. However she hasn't and my BB's are still really quite sore. Every other time with a BFN as soon as I stopped taking the pessaries my BB's stopped hurting and AF arrived within a day. Any ideas? Perhaps I'm just hoping that the HPT was wrong (very little chance I know!).

Anyway, girls hope everyone is ok?

Jen - not long now, bet you are really excited?

Nickie - 5th March eh? Can't believe how quickly that has come round!!

Hi to everyone else, have a good weekend
