Carolyn B, Sure do miss you. I know you are keeping Very busy. Good luck on your scan.

Jen ID, Good luck today with your op. Hugs!!!

Carolyn, What is Chapney's? I dont know so I dont know if you will have a good time or what it is??!!

Gill, How are you?

Nimble, Wow starting right in again. Good luck to you. I cycled with you before so I am praying this is your time. I start in Dec.

Icsi, What a hoot!! You are so funny. Did you spend all day Sunday putting your diet food together for the week? Me either, but I should have!!

JenB, Sending Baby dust and PMA. Good luck!!

Su, So glad you are starting again. Praying really hard for you!! Good luck.

Hi to everyone I missed!!

I went to too many parties this weekend and I am still paying for it!! Usually I like to have 1 day that I do nothing but puts around the house and clean and cook. Believe it, it is relaxing to me!! Anyway, early to bed to catch up on sleep.

Talk soon,

[ICSI GIRL]

Hello NIMBLE!! The pleasure is all mine – so nice to meet you dear…….isn’t it funny how we “anxiously” await AF’s arrival when preparing for our next cycle --- but any other time, we despise the b*i*t*c*h!!! ha, ha, ha!!! CHEERS TO HER TIMELY ARRIVAL!!

Jen1 --- thinking of you girl……hope all is going well w/ procedure

Wishfull ---- what/where is “Champneys”???? a FAB vaca spot???? Regardless ---- here’s hoping you have a WONDERFUL time!! Relax…..have a cocktail (or two)!!

Jackie ---- yeah………NOT-SO-MUCH on the diet prep!!! Ahhhh – you already know me all too well!! Ha, ha, ha!! ALTHOUGH ---- I did get my arse on my treadmill last night after work --- ye-ha for me!!! My intentions are SO good………and then I eat “oreos” to reward myself for getting on the treadmill!! (WTF is that?????)

So does anybody watch or has anybody seen “John & Kate + 8” ???? A tv program on “TLC” (the learning channel….is also on discovery health)……is a couple that w/ fertility treatment (I think IUI if I remember correctly) – had a set of twins – little girls…. And then wanted just ONE more ----- and ended up with SIX!!!! 3 boys, 3 girls…… so now they have “2 – 6yr olds and 6 – 3yr olds”………oh they are just the cutest!!! Anyway --- I’m TOTALLY addicted to the program and was curious if anybody else watched it???

HELLO……LOVE & HUGS TO EVERYBODY!!!!!!! Talk more later………….(as you all well know!!)

Sorry to crash your board ladies, I wanted to wish my old cycle buddy Beachbaby tons and tons of sticky baby dust to you!!!!!, I will be keeping my fingers crossed until de 12th!!!!!!!!

[Welshgirl38]

Hello Ladies,

Where to start - i dunno really, so much has happened the past few weeks and its knocked the stuffing out of me. I hate 'not being' here, but yet i cant bring myself to 'be here' if that makes any sense. I read all the posts, and i hear whats going on (just about)

Peq: a huge congrats on ur BFP hun, im so happy for you xx

JenB - im watching out for ur BFP too hun - i have everything crossed for u xx

Jen1d - what op are u having? See its been so long now that ive lost all track

Jayne - so great to here u have ur two wee ones snuggling in just where they should be, good luck hun xxx

I know ive missed loads of you, Gill, CarolynB, Rachel, Shantala, ICSI girl - u do so make me smile with ur comments - just what i need right now thank u ....

This board has been my lifeline for the past year, and i dont know what i would have done without everyone - but i hope u understand ladies, that i do need time out - i'm trying to put my finger on what exactly is wrong with me at the moment, i cant pick myself up, this is not like me at all. Everything at home is fine - all back to normal, but yet theres something picking at me - something not quite right u know (mind u has anything ever been quite right in my mind lol)
Im sorry to be on a downer, i dont often get them - but this one isnt going away as i'd like it to (im sure i have that S.A.D syndrome lol) I think maybe its because of the hassle ive had with the site that i cant seem to 'trust' in it fully again - not that this reflects on any of u ladies, u are and always will be close to my heart and will always be a part of my life, just as IVF will always be a part of it too, im just ot sure where to go from here ....

Sorry to rant, but thanks for letting me (not that u really have much choice lol)

Much Love,

Becky Xxxxx

Hi

Had my own room, with a cracking view or a picture of twins in the corridor---first nightmare.

Then had to explain to 2 Dr what i was having done, took the paperwork from IM and eventurally got it sorted. Told him to go and talk to my consultant--she wasnt doing the op as it was a cancellation. Anyway he did talk to her and we got it sorted.

Then got my emla cream on---for the wimp of the ward and when they put the needle in, it was wrong so had to attack the other hand to-------then blissful sleep.

So got taking into theatre about 10.30am and home at 7.30pm. Very emotional day. Was in the recovery room and a nurse decided to announce to everyone her grandson had just been born, 9lb 2oz---i burst into tears and the nurse who was looking after me thought i was in pain as i couldnt speak, then explained briefly and she felt sorry for me---hate that.

The worst thing was i was bleeding quite a bit and couldnt sleep, lay there thinking about everything and feeling sorry for myself--then the tears appeared. The nurse from acu popped in to see me, my consultant asked her to check on me, thought that was so lovely of them. Anyway i sat blubbing to her as the nurses on the ward werent interested and a familiar face is better eh.

Eventually dh came to collect me at 6.30pm with the news that our friend was downstairs and had just had her baby---------this world is so unfair eh. Am happy for her and looking forward to seeing the baby but feel so drained.

Got home and went to bed, then have been up most of the night but at least the bleeding has stopped.

The adoption lady called and i have to call her back today to arrange our first visit, so some good news.

Oh ye, didnt say, everything was clear and there seems to be nothing wrong and no cysts or polps. I had a biopsy taken so will find out the results in about 3 weeks but the Dr say all looks health and fine. Dont know if this is good or bad---at least if there was something wrong then we could move on but its so frustrating being told continually there is nothing wrong and we just have to keep trying.

Anyway am popping out to my svq day for a couple of hours, cant miss that or i will lack behing. My tum is bloated and i'm tired but glad its over. Dont know how any of you manage to have it done with just sedation-----hats of to you.

Catch up later

Love Jen x

[beachbaby]

Hi Ladies,

Vicky77, thankyou for the kind wishes hope all is going well with you. hugs

Jen1d, glad your op went well, i am both sorry and happy that nothing was found, i understand the mixed emotions as it is easier to accept if there was a reason treatment keeps failing. Keep the positive thoughts going and focus on your next cycle in the new year. Rest up and don't work too hard.

Steph, so glad the numbers are increasing nicley, hope you have a great weekend with your mum, i am sure she will be over the moon at becoming a grandma.

jenbabes, i am glad the bleeding has stopped, not long now for that bfp, i have everything crossed for you. I feel fine at the moment we have taken the rest of the week off and DH is spoiling me rotten, as usual they had trouble getting the catheter in, so had to clamp my cervix to open it up more, the transfer of the embies was perfect though, so hopefully this time is our time.

Shantala, glad your feeling better and back at work, but hopefully your not working too hard. Hey you'll be drug free by now that must feel great, no more pessaries!! ha ha!!

Rachel, hope your taking it easy, so nice to hear Hayley had her baby, wish her all the best from me also.

Wishful, I am in Scarborough, I was born here, and left when i was 20 but DH and i returned 5 years ago, to finally settle down and start a family, we have travelled all over with our work up until then. Hope you enjoyed your break with your family.

Caroloyn, hope you are doing ok, and your finding the patches a doddle, not long now and you'll be joining us all on the 2ww.

Becky, Hun, i hope your feeling happier soon, big hugs to you, we are all missing your banter, take care and tell DH he needs to take you on a night out to cheer you up.

Icsigirl, oh you make me laugh, you are so full of life its wonderful.

Su, so glad your giving it one more go, November is going to be a good month for this thread, Steph started us off and we are all going to follow suit, I am sorry you are not getting the support from your parents, big hugs to you.

To all you who asked Chamneys is a very nice (posh) health Spa.

Sorry to anyone i've missed, sticky baby dust to you all.
Jayne

[jen babes]

jayne glad to hear you are resting up and Dh has some time off too....
Hoping and praying for that BFP for you...all they way through to the birth x x xgood luck x x

backy- ah hun it sounds like a dep feeling of loss and Grief...as you said you felt safe before on here and you have lost that...it's a hard one hun but you know we are here for you when you need to talk. its better out than in sweetie so rant away. YOU have been a fab buddy to have on here for me ( and i can say for all on tis thread) I love your laughs at life and i hope these laughs will soon back to you and us. until then ((((((((hugs GALORE)))) to you and love from all your buddies on this thread... x x x x

Jen1d- sweetie you have had a tough time going through all that it sounded so emotional for you...as jayne said its difficult when they give the all clear but you still have to wait 3wks for the full results. maybe like me i had clear tests 3 days before i weent to IM but when there they did a biopsy and found a deep rooted infection...so you never know what they will grow or find from the biopsy. Hope that its an all clear for you tho x x x keep your chin up sweetie hugs and love x x x

love and BIG high 5's to everyone else x x

i am off to my GP to sort out beta test and extra meds (if i need them by friday)
trying to keep the FAITH x x x x and hang in there and smile but its hard ....KEEP THE FAITH MANTRA coming up ..............

love

Jen1 ----- lovely to have you back and all done w/ your procedure……so very sorry to hear about the coaster of emotions ---- is SO very difficult at times……afraid is all part of our world of IVF……….not saying is easy (SO far from it!!)……..in fact – I have said to many people that this whole IVF process has been one of the most difficult things I’ve dealt w/ emotionally in my life…..and that includes the death of my dear grams……AND I’m a very strong “don’t need nobody” kind of gal and this…..this just knocked me on my arse like NOTHING ever before………I’m thankful EVERY day that I found you guys --- you’ve been my ROCK in times that I needed you most (do I sound like a country song yet?????) it’s true though…….this forum has been an amazing source of support for me --- in good days and in bad……..on an AMAZING note --- WOO-HOO on the adoption stuff moving right along!!!!!!! (((((((((BIG HUGS TO YOU GIRL))))))))

Oooohhhhh becky girl………you’ve fallen into that funk…….been there ----- GOT MEDICATION!!!! Seriously – there was one time in my life that I just couldn’t break out of my own “funk” and talked to my doc (just regular doc) and he gave me script for something (don’t remember what it was) --- but it helped……it wasn’t a HAPPY PILL (DAMN) --- but it DID level things out a bit so that my emotions weren’t HIGH/LOW on a constant basis…….anyway………I do get how you’d feel “betrayed” by all the forum stuff by what has happened to you and why you’d be gun shy --- I would be too…… so maybe is time you just take some time for YOU…….and not worry about us out here --- know that we are thinking of you…..and know how very many women you’ve touched and helped ---- you’ve been SUCH a source of strength for SO many of us out here….. just know that you hold a very special place in a lot of our hearts….

Jenb ---- can hardly believe only 2 more days til we get our next BFP!!!!!!!!!! SO GLAD to hear the spotting subsided…….was just those little embies getting cozy!

Beachbaby/jayne ---- FANTASTIC news on your PERFECT EMBIES!!!!!!!!!!! (and the snowbabies too!) Thus we have yet another 2ww’er!!!! ****** STICKY-STICKY BABY DUST KISSES TO YOU ******

Well --- I can hear the gal I’m supposed to be meeting w/ outside my door (not ready for my meeting --- OOPS) gotta run………….

LOVE & HUGS TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
