Randa good to hear from you and that you had a good bonding time away in Cuba with hubby. Hope you managed to get Christmas pressies while you were there..only 10 days now...i am such a kid when it comes to Christmas. i love lists as it helps me keep up with everyone.
Lara i know Randa means a BFP on the 19th... we all hope that you join BFP Jules on the pregnacy journey...we will all join you later in the year.
Jules- So glad you got a 5wk scan and everything is Honky Dory...I know how scary that stage is and i am hoping all will go well in the coming weeks. With such a high hcg it sounds good. How is the dreaded morning sickness? You are allowed to moan you know!!!
I am hearing what you are saying aboud FSH levels rising. I still have not heard the result of my FSH levels while doing last cycle so hope it's better than the July one. I purposally didn't ask so i would not get stressed at stimming scans. And know i want to know!!!! Iwill just have to wait until the 27th Jan!!!!!!! But i will take whatever they say on board and if need be, start next tmt before may. thanks for your input though i appreciate it. Fingers crossed for you Jules X X X
Anna - glad you like d the follie fairy. Smita gave it to me and it symbolises Hope and Faith. Something we all need for 2006 tmt's. I will be doing a short cycle again as i responded Bably to the down reg drugs.
Jackie- hope you are doing ok on your 2ww!!! Sending loving hugs ....

BFP for Lara! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Baby dust in all directions.
Okay, I feel better and I hope you do as well.
Jen, about your ovary question... mine didn't return to normal really until the second cycle afterward. Still, you should check with the clinic to be safe.

Hi, thought I'd better pop in and say hello or you'll think I'm not talking to you...
Actually I didn't want to depress you, more like.
Julie - congratulations on your little one - what a lovely Christmas present. You said to me when you were pg before that they were the happiest days - I hope you can be as happy this time round and not be too scared to enjoy every minute of your pregnancy.
Lara, hope your 2ww is going OK.
Randa - nice to have you back, glad you had a good time in Cuba, thinking of going there or somewhere else in the Caribbean in January for a bit of sunshine and to get away from all things IVF.
Hope everyone else is OK too
I went for another scan this morning - what is left of my baby is now shrivelled up and starting to 'evacuate'. I have to make a choice - natural conclusion or D&C - by default I will be letting nature take it's course - I am way too scared to have a general anaesthethic (always had sedation for EC, never had a general). Am I stupid to put myself through all this when I could just go in and it would all be over? Am I not letting go? Maybe I need to see the evidence to really know it's all over and move on.
I know I may end up having a D&C anyway but I'm trying not to think about that.
Anyway, I have to wait to see what the weekend brings - they think things will start to move now they have poked around and it looks like they are probably right as I have started bleeding red blood now rather than brown stuff. Sorry for tmi.
Sorry, I'll try and be more cheery next time. I just don't understand why this had to happen.

Good to hear from you Kat. It is a difficult time for you and there is no rhyme or reason for what has happened. Stay strong, we are all here for you. Maybe some time away somewhere sunny will help the healing process.
Jen, sorry can't help with the sore ovaries question, maybe a trip to the clinic would put your mind at rest.
Randa, hope you are all settled back and all the dreaded unpacking and washing is over and done with. Good to have you back.
Hope 2ww is flying by ladies, hang in there, the days WILL pass and we will see BFP's really soon!!
Am looking forward to a very christmassy weekend, lots to do and I am just starting to feel excited about the holidays and not having to go to work!! Ye hay!!
PMA to all

Hi All!
I'm struggling to post lately. I come in here, have a look around and a little cry and then can't think of anything to say.
I'm just gutted for Jeni & Kat as well as for me. I look around the boards and (being far more honest than is good) sadly take no pleasure in anyone else's good news because they're not us, and then I hate myself for having such a mean spirit.
We're now thinking we'll do the FET with our other 2 embryos in March. Was going to do it in January but we don't feel ready either emotionally or financially.
Despite the wonderful love and support on these boards, it is fair to say that at the moment I feel worse when I'm here than any other time. I guess the rest of the time I don't have to think about it, and when I do, I can push it away quickly.
I just thought I'd post and say why you're not hearing from me lately - but I'd like you to know that I'm still here and I am rooting for us.

Amfy honey
i know just how you feel..i went through the same in aug with failed ivf and similar this time. Grief takes it's own time you cannot rush it. Just do what you have to to and know that we are here for you if you want to talk. Giving yourself plenty of time to rest and grieve over the cycle is actually normal. You are letting go of all hopes and dreams of the future of that special wee embie that was yours. Allow the tears to flow.
Have you thought of going for an hour or so of counselling ? I found that really helped me talking and crying to someone i didin't know ( and would never see again) And just letting it all out of my heart...
Peace be with you soon sweetheart .((((hugs ))))
Kat...my heart is breaking for you. This is a most diffficult chice that only you can make. I can only say that my sister went through the same chioce with her 3rd preg. And at 10wks chose to have nature take it's course. For her she said she felt like it was giving birth...and that hurt her more emotionally during and afterwards. Everyone is differant Kat and maybe the choice to let it all happen naturally is your way of grieving and letting go.My thoughts and prayers are with you this weekend...i wish i could take the pain away for you. x x
Hi to everyone else.... x x
BFP Jules - hope you aere resting up...Anna enjoy your Christmassy weekend and Good luck to all thoase on 2ww

Kat,
Just thought i'd let you know that a D&C is not done under General. It's done by the same anesthesia as EC. I've had 2 and let 1 happen naturally. The natural one was more difficult emotionally. Hopefully next pregnancy will result in a full term delivery instead of a m/c. This time we're using eggs from a 23 yo. Start Lupron on Thursday. I'm a nervous wreck!

Hello Ladies,
Lisa, good luck for Thursday, PMA to you as you start your meds.
Jen hope you are having a good weekend. How are the ovaries today? I am extremely jealous that you have nearly finished your xmas shopping. I've only just started and feel worn out already. At least I've done the cards now! The tree is up and the house feels christmassy...fab, fab fab
Jules hope you are OK, keeping warm and rested.
Amfy sending you big hugs. Take care of yourself.
Lara, when is your test date? Are the days dragging? Sending you baby dust
Kat, thinking of you. Sending you big hugs.
PMA to all the other ladies on this thread

hi all
kat, just wanted you to know you are in my thoughts alot, whatever way you go about this will still be painful{emotionally}, and i think the way your doing it seems the right way for you, as it gives you a little more time to say goodbye to your baby, i dont know if you are religious, but im catholic and whem someone loses a baby in the womb, we always baptise that baby and name it as we believe that soul was alive, it also puts some realitity to your child and then you can let them go back.
ignore me if this is not your thing, but please take care of yourself
love jackiexxx
