woo hooooooo!!!
4 lovely embies all cwtched up and waiting to return to the Jemla mothership!
Thats great! So Thursday is the big day then they reckon? Which means......bfp 16th november if my spider senses are correct!
Glad you're feeling a bit more positive love. Keep up the PMA! I know, the pessaries are revolting but well worth the effort on the road to babyville. have you got any DVDs to watch? How long have you got off work?

Littles - good to see you and muchos apologies about photo. Am still waiting for dh to help me out, I can't do that sort of stuff. So when does this course finish? What are your fertilityworld plans?

Steph - come back from conference and keep Jemla occupied NOW!!!!!!

Walsh - thinking of you... x

well I've got the headaches and insomnia and am now just waiting for the flushes to begin before HOUSE! Time seems at least to be moving a bit faster now. I have been v good and not had any full caff today. Oh how I crave a big fat latte!
Ok dudes - I'll check in tomorrow for Embryos: The Update.

take it easy

Hi Loops

No might have ET tomorrow. Embie Boy will call at 9am with an update on our embies and then decide but he know we would prefer to wait and see how they get on and do a 3dt. We will got with what he suggests though, he is the expert after all.
We have to wait 16days to do our hpt so will be more like around the 19th so long, i hate it.

I agree a latte would be bliss. Tell me one thing, they advise you not to have coffee and eat healthily but after my EC they always give you a coffee and white bread with butter?????? The coffee was crap but i still drank it

You hang in there babe, the headaches will be worth it

Love Jen x

Hello Hello Hello,

Sorry I haven't written for ages but I really have nothing to say...

Although I could have logged on to see how Jen was going sorry
Jen 4 eggs fertilised that is fantstic that is what I had with my last cycle. I am sending you lots of happy thoughts. When ever a negative thought or twitch happens just think that the embies are settling back in home for 9 months. I have everything crossed that this i your cycle you deserve this pregnancy.

Good Luck Ms Lola with your downregging. My friend who is a naturopath told me that sage tea is suppose to be very good for hot flushes etc. they give it to women who are going through menopause to subside some of the flushes. It won't be long until your embies go back in how many are you putting back?

Ms Steph you seem to be working so hard for someone who is about to have a baby. We had the season finally of Grays the other night I just bawled about Izzy and then Meredith don't get me started...... What a great show and Now it won't be back on until the new year.

Hi to Little R..... I hope your taking time out to chill from your hectic schedule. We will cycling together again in January 2007 here we come women on a mission.

Not much to report from me. I am having good days and bad days. I don;t want to talk to anyone who is happy at the moment and prefer to wollow in my own self pity the why mes!!! I will start downregging in Mid December so that I will get Af in the first week of New Year to start again. In the meantime I am desperatlely trying to lose more weight. I would like to lose another 6 kilos before the end of the year Luckily I didn;t put on any of the weight i have previously lost so I am not starting all over again.

Talk to you soon ladies cheers, Walshy

P.S I am still waiting for my photos Steph and Lola.........

Hi Buds,

Well the hospital rang this morning and we still have 4 embies, 3 2cell and 1 4 cell, which are all fine and pregnancy grade apparently. We are going in tomorrow for ET at 11.30am. I just pray the little embies still develop well and turn out to be 6-8cells by tomorrow. Although saying that we had a 7 and 8 the last time at ET and still never got a bfp. Think its all a bit of luck as it seems any embies can go on to be a baby. Have heard stories about the worst ones turning out to get a bfp and the best ones turning out to nothing.
Am off to have my acup today and a full body massage bliss. Have given the massause strict instructions that there should be no oils so its as natural as possible.
I have been having quite a few twinges and sometimes feels like my AF will come--of course i know it wont at this stage but it must be from the EC and maybe pessaries. Glad i have felt this today because when the embies go back in tomorrow i would have been panicking a bit. Last time i felt the same pain but i think it must be the pessaries?? What do you guys think?

The Walsh - Great to hear from you, you were missed. Don't feel bad about being unhappy, you need time and rest. Can't believe you are starting again so soon but it maybe a good thing for the body. Your bfp will be here soon honey, hang in there

Ok, will log in later again as i've got too much time on my hands at the moment.

Love Jen x

[Jen1d]

Where are you all??

Just to let you know that my time has been changed due to staff shortage I will be having my little embies put back home at 8.45am

Oh ye, we need some names for these guys. I know Loops and Steph will come up with some crackers.

See you tomorrow with embies on board.

Love Jen x

[lolajones]

Hi girls
I had my ET a few hours ago and had a 4 and 5 cell embies transfered on day 3. I thought they would have developed more by day 3.
Am feeling pretty low since we had a 6 and 7 last time and got a neg so feel like this will not work again.
Have been upset most of the morning and what was worse was that my dh was nearly in tears in the hosp, he never cries and i feel so guilty i'm stopping him have his baby.

Basically i feel lik s**t and am fed up going through this. We just want a baby, thats not selfish is it. Everyone else has one and they take it for granted.

Seems like I have come back just in time!! no such luck with the internet connection at hotel this time.... but am back now...

Jenny Girl! Oh why the fretting? Enough crap on Jens time.. I happen to like that girl! Don't worry about the cell.... all that matters is that they are keepin on... besides they will have turbo boostin energy strength now that they are home in Chez Jens. Besides.. I hear that Cher is quite a scrapper! This will work Bunny!!! And I absolutely demand that you stop the blame Jen Game! It is out of your control... you do everything that is in your control, that's all that can be done... If you need a smile, I will tell you that Demetrio has dropped his spankys and is moonin you! It is no peachy bottom (he is a man afterall) but it is firm! 16 days til BFP JOY!

Low-la... hey munchkin punchkin! good to know the drugs are working and hot flashes a go-go! Do you have dates of all things fun? I need to mark my calendar for next Looler event. Have no fear, if you keep a smiley and a positive tude, Demmy will not drop drawers for you.. unless you likey! Good job with coffee avoidance! its a tough nut to crack.. mmmm.. luv the water.. feel the water...crave the water....

Walsher... bout time you smack back round! how dare you use the "I have nothing to say" line-o-bull. we want to hear about the must mundane details.. for example.. today was crap. say 27 preggers as walked down the street. one was 15 years old. I deserve it more than her. .... see how easy that is.. we all been there, this is where you need to come to vent! bring it! otherwise tear in my beer for missin ya...

Littles- I get a jolt when you pop around.. I miss the Littles and the R. so... brainiac computer heh.. the group of us could start a business and have all aspects of life needs covered..... the one stop shop for all your needs!..... How long is your course? What do you want to do with all this new found knowledge? I have never gotten a photo of you either by the by! send me yours, I'll send you mine... promise

As for me and my pics.... na,na, na,na, boo-boo.....I will try to get someone who actually knows what they are doing to help me..... As for me working too hard.. hardly... conferences have been sit all day long and listen.. well try to listen and not sleep.. plus eat way too many sweets... I guess the tables of yums are their little way of saying.. see, this is fun!

Jen---- do a little dance... get down tonight! relax...

Thanks Steph for your encouragement

When i spoke to the embryologist he didn't sound all that positive but to be fair i think he was just being careful about what he said. However my Dr at the hosp who did the transfer has assurred me that we have as good a chance as anyone and even though they are a little slow they may continue to develop fine now they are home. She was much more positive and said she has seen so many people with much worse embies and they got a bfp.
Maybe its just because i have been dreading this day as in the past its always brought me a bfn.
I just pray that we can have just have one bfp
My Doc has told me to rest for about 4-5 days as this is when implantation is likely to happen. I have been lying down all day but now wonder if i should be moving a bit?? What do you guys think?

Am thinking of you all and i loved the names, even better i loved the thought of Demetrio's peachy bum---please include that in the photo you are going to send---SOON

Love Jen x

[little R]

Try not to feel sad or guilty, love...I know it's easier said than done.

I am thinking of you... praying that this time you actually GET what you deserve....it's been a long time coming... is there no justice in this freaking world ? (soory, vent over!)

HANG in there Missy.....we are all routing for you in our respective countries

Hello girlies, sorry to gatecrash but I have seen a post form Little R and I seemed to remember that you live in Dubai!
I just arrived in Dubai a week ago. I am disappointed not be in the city but in one of those kind of big "look alike" houses area, in the arabian ranches. I hope you dont mind to ask whereabout you live?

Anyway, wishing you loads of luck girls, your thread seems really friendly!

take care

hi Souris - congratulations on your BFP!! Somehow I missed that! You so deserve it lovely - well done.

Jen - sit down and take a deep breath because you are about to get a verbal kickin. STOP WITH THE NEGATIVITY!!!!! You are forgetting that
1) Embryos prefer to be back inside mum - you see it on these boards all the time - grade crapsky embyos turning into wonderful BFPs and bouncing babies.
2) You no longer have Evil Fallop One and Evil Fallop Two, the Ridiculous Brothers, trying to scupper Sonny n Cher's stay at casa del wombo.
3rd time lucky for you Jen - Now for some homework;
sit down and visualise the embryos nestling into Ville de Uterus, picture it and keep concentrating. Do this everyday and every time you feel less than positive. Believe it'll work and it will.
Ok? I know this is hard, but you're tougher than it.

hola my other buds - what's the news? whats shakin kiddos? The weekend approaches with all its relaxing goodness. I'm off out for romantic dinner with dh in a bit - gonna have some bubbley (sorry Zita!!).
Will check in at the weekend to ensure Jemla is behaving her bad self

Love, Lola
xxxxxxx

[Jen1d]

How can i not behave myself after a telling off like that

So far so good, although the first 7 days are always fine then the trouble starts--sorry Loops inhale exhale inhale exhale----Ok feel better now, negativity has passed.

Man i hate these pessaries, yuck but i keep looking at the packet and don't want them to stop. Wish they could continue until the hpt so i wouldn't have to worry about AF coming. I must say so far i feel ok but i can't help preparing myself for the worst even though i'm trying hard not to think like that. Suppose it's just come with the experience of past cycles

Spoke to my boss yesterday and have decided i'm not going back to work until after the hpt, think its for the best as i would hate for anything neg to happen when i'm at work.

Anyway dh has put up the calendar with 16 days of hell written on it but then on the test day he has written a big hug BFP----so thats what were going for

So hows everyone else doing? Still waiting on photos from Steph and Loops---we all dying to see the photos.

Loops - hows the dowregging going, any great side affects yet? Easy on that bubbly girl. Did you ever tell me which part of London you lived in, don't think so, info please?

Littles - Studying info please, were all dying to know. You sound like your keeping yourself busy, which is great. How you feeling about your next cycle?

Walshy- How you feeling lovely? Is time helping you to heal? The good thing is that the sun must be out and you can lie and chill---oh bliss, i'm so jealous.

Steph - I keep dreaming of the BFP JOY. Can't imagine what it feels like and keep wishing for it everyday. I think alot about the time you said there was no hope of you ever having a baby and about your eggs etc then look now. That gives me inspiration to keep going---only i wish i was 25 again

Camilla - I know your up to your elbows in pooh but come back and give us all some positive vibes, there desperately needed.
