So finally I get a chance to have a good old read and catch up.
JB - you know how pleased I am for you babe. Sending massive doubling vibes your way. You must have a real fighter in there. Just like his/her Mum! Hope that you are having a great weekend
Beckster - big hugs. As JB says, I am sure that you are finding it hard to trust the boards after all you went through. May be you just feel that you cannot be as open here anymore. Once the trust is gone then it is hard to feel like you can be yourself. This has hit you really hard. We miss you hun but understand if you need time away. Big hugs as always. Are you loving X Factor yet? We need to talk about it. Especially Daniel going and now Emily get kicked out. Much to talk about
Jayne - so pleased that the FET went well and your little snow babies are now getting cozy. Hope that you are taking it easy and being well looked after
Shantala - hope that work went ok for you this week. Your own desk and pc for checking the baords. Wow.

Any favorites in the X Factor. I think the boy and girl groups could do well this year. Hope that you & the little one are doing well. I always gasp when I see your ticker
Gill - saw your comment. Surely you have not been voting for Anton have you?? I shall have to have words with you if you have!!! Could not believe that him and the rag doll stayed in and Gaby got voted out although could see why she would not garner many votes herself - too competitive!
Su - cannot believe that you are back on it again. Sorry that your parents are not more supportive. That is hard. But that is why you have all of us cheering you on. So hope that this is your time babe
Jackie - sorry I have been missing. Sounds like you are a busy girl too. Plenty of partying. DEfinitely the way to pass time between tmt. Way to go girl!!!!!
Jen1d- so pleased that the op is over. Hopefully all will be well to get your snow babies back in the New Year. It is good that they are checking it all out for you. And the adoption meeting is so soon too. Chin up. 1 foot in front of the other. You know how it goes!!!!
Eimear - Jen just had a hysterocsopy and I have had it done twice now. The procedure is fine and it is good to know that they are getting you in top top shape for yoir little frostie to come back home
Nimble congrats on cracking into tmt again and also going straight to the hard stuff. Love the short protocol where it all happens so mcuh faster. WE could be on the 2ww together babe!
Angie/ICSI - I am with everyone else. Love your posts. But you are barking mad!!!!!!!!!! Long time ago but managed to get tickets for my dh to go to the Amercian Football at Wembley. I decided not to go. Not really my scene. So he could take a pal., Even more brownie points for me!!!! And boy do I need them when I am mad hormonal lady most of the time. Good on you for kicking arse at work & beating up the men, You are clearly the ight woman for the job and that is all that matters. You go girl
Rachel - please can you come and organise my Xmas too. Have done bits but struggling to get my act in gear. How is your bump coming along? You must be getting more excited by the day now
Carolyn - Champneys. How wonderful. Can you see how green I have gone just thinking about it. Bet it was wonderful whilst you were there. What a lovely treat. With you on the Dancing. Was ready to throw set out the window when I watched it off the dvd on Sunday. Complete traversty. She was a great dancer. Guess I shall be back watching it again to see what happens next.............
Steph - so pleased that your levels are rising nicely. Hope that your parents are totally excited for you babe
Angel505 - how are you doing babe?
Hugs to anyone I have missed.
Phew. Glad it is the weekend and a bit of a chance to recharge batteries. Last weekend with friends was good fun. They asked me enough about tmt to be bothered but not so much that it was over bearing. If only everybody could get it right for us. Busy week at work as you all guessed & have felt totally fine on the estrogen patches. Scan yesterday was good. Lining is at 8mm and no sign of any follicles or cysts. So all good. Send off mail to IM but no response so guess that I will hear nothing now til Monday. Trying to juggle work is a challenge. Have prepared them that I shall need some time off. Have some meetings over the next couple of weeks but nothing that cannot be cancelled/moved or they will just have to manage without me. Being realistic, I expect to hear the first half of the week, be over there by the end of the week for donor EC and my husband's TESA extraction (crickey). Then I expect ET will be around about next weekend. Sadly acu lady in Barcelona is away next weekend so trying to see if I can find someone else but may have to do without

So bottom line is that you may hear very little from me for a while. We will only have 24 hours notice to get all flights and hotels sorted so all going to get a bit frenetic. I shall keep you posted through texts to the wonderful IM girls (Jen1d, Gill and JB) who I am sure will let you know what is going on with me, That said I shall probably still be posting next weekend!! We'll see. Just taking a day at a time and feeling grateful that I have this last chance thanks to someone elses kindness.
Enjoy the weekend ladies.
Lots of love to you all.
Carolyn
