Hi just realised booboo in post about Skype - telephoning PC to telephone line costs 1.1p or 1.7.cents (EU cents, no idea in other currencies) not Euros!!!! now that would be expensive!

sorry bigJ

I think we need to start using Skype, when we moved house everyone got very excited about us finally getting a landline but we've just stuck to our mobiles which is all we've ever had. A bit expensive for long chats for most of my family.

I just told DH that I was now officially a "technodude" - he just smiled and tapped me on my way

How are you doing?

Just done my Ovitrelle (HCG) shot and feeling very, very nervous, 35 hours to go.....

We're going to have to tell my MIL. We've a scheduling problem at the end of the week and want her to help. She'll wonder why I can't do some lifting and so we'll need to explain. She won't tell anyone but I'd love to have a happy surprise for her vs. letting her in on the watching and waiting.

Going to bed now, reading for a long while I expect.

Hoping everything is good with all of you,
hugs
Debra.

Hi Debra

Good luck! I hope you follies are plentiful and productive.

I know what you mean about your MIL. We have not told anyone...not even my sister who has been through IVF herself. I guess we just don't want to feel like major failures and don't want to let anyone down. You never know, she might be absolutely chuffed that you have let her in on your secret. The best support can often come from the strangest places.

Thinking of you and hoping all goes well.

Cheers
Heather

Hi Heather, that's certainly a nice idea re. MIL but no, there won't be any direct support from her. We need her practical help this week which she's great at but anything emotional - no chance. DF says it's because she knows our odds aren't great and so dampens her reactions to avoid disappointment later. We've been through this quite a few times before and generally told her during the 2ww. Her response to my early m/c, which happened whilst we were staying with her, was 'oh'. That was it, with not another word. We don't tell my Mum before tmt because we'd get the opposite and it would be too much to bear her getting so worried, upset etc. It's a shame you feel you can't tell your sister. No one who loves you would think you are failures but yes family will get emotionally involved and that adds an extra worry to the tmt. Tough isn't it?

Randa...just off to see what that link is! thanks in anticipation

Debra.

Hi Debra

OMG...what a strange reaction to your MIL had to your m/c. I see what you mean. I can see why you are reluctant to say anything. I guess I feel strange about talking to my sister because she was successful with her treatment and if mine doesn't work I will feel like I have failed somehow. Strange reasoning.....but I am grateful that I had the opportunity to go through three treatment cycles with her and share her disappointments and her joy. Inadvertantly, she has helped me enormously.

Again, good luck tomorrow. I hope everything goes really, really well for you.

Cheers
Heather

Hi all
D and Heather - we haven't told MIL she would not understand atall (we've been together 12 years and dh has 2 from ex) but I think she'd be happy with a big surprise...in fact I am sure she would. She has Cancer and has been treated to the limit, so we are all just hoping that she enjoys this year and that nothing re-grows, since my breakdown I have had a much better relationship with her and she with me. Maybe we are both just emotionally more available???

My mom is a sweetie and paying for us

she is a star, I would never have thought that she could be so flexible and so very loving and open as she as being since she knew and understood our problem. Specisl kisses to the Mom fairy

I get paranoid about my sister

, but she is 39 and has been pregnant with nr1 (38) and nr2 (39) with no help ..if my sis had been through IVF I would talk to her - you might be surprised how much support there is there

love bigJ
