Lucy - how was your night out?? Did you have a few vinos??

Nicki - I pm'd you doll with the info about the biopsy

How are all other phoenixes thses days??

Well I was out last night at a friend's house with another friend. We had pizza and wine and a good girlie catch up. She works for the same nhs organisation as I do and I found out she has a new post and is managing my IVF unit!!!! How weird is that?? So I got some inside information which is always good. I told her that I was a bit worried that my consultant wouldn't reply to the letter I wrote him recently about the biopsy (tese) and a few concerns I have so she's gonna get the senior ivf nurse to call me. Result!

Bye for now!!

Morning all

Lis - I had a really good night out, just what I needed.. I danced the night away with my friends and got quite drunk..! (more than quite actually)
I also work for the NHS and I work for the commissioning manager, who deals with all the IVF for my area, so also good to get inside info. It wierd isn't it?? But nice at same time, he has been really good, pitty though he couldn't oversee me having to pay for treatment.!!!

Jeni - Uuummmm Hagen Daaz - yummy, hope you enjoyed - what you upto for the reast of weekend?

Hello to Nicki - MLG - and all the other phoenixes I've missed...

Hi Phoenixes

Hope all ok. I have had odd week. Don't know where time has gone!!! Sprained my ankle pretty bad last saturday (sober!!) so was off work til Wednesday, (every cloud has a silver lining!!) ....Still not right and hobbling around. Work crap as going through yet another "guaranteed" takeover. THANK GOD ITS WEEKEND!! No plans apart from chilling out with wine, choc, curry, crisp etc etc! - heaven.

Luby/Lis - Just want to wish you both all the luck with your forthcoming appointments and hope it is positive news for you both. Good news on the inside contacts, hope they pay off and you get lots of info and support. Tickers look fab by the way!

Jen - Glad your appointment went well at the Drs and you feel more positive after the homeopathic appt. Congrats on your 1,000th post!! I have a long long way to go ha ha.

Nicki - Hope you have finally moved and you love your new house!!! Good luck with all that. Saw your post with Lis re azoospermia. My DH had the pesa/tesa and we have 6 straws in store. Not 100% sure what that means but more than enuf for 3 tries we have planned if needed. Let me know if want more info

MLG - Nice to see you again and congrats on the AF. Hope you feel ok

Sorry if missed anyone but takes ages to catch up!!

Have a fab weekend!!!!

Hi all,

just a very quick one for now(I apologize yet again, just don’t have the time at the mo, sorry ladies).

Not only do I not have the time at the mo, but I think it´ll be “time out” for me soon.

A couple of days ago my hubby found out that he´ll be going abroad for at least 6 month in april, exactly when we where going to start our next tmt. At the moment I don’t know what to think or do…

This was supposed to be our last attempt before we´d put it all to rest and i´d go off to try for a carrier myself which I haven’t got at the mo. Now what? I feel I cannot wait yet another year or so, just being in the limbo. Does all that sound really stupid? I mean, is it silly to at least want a carrier if i cant have a baby?

Sorry for going on about this, but as most of you lovely ladies now there isn’t many people who would understand our situation. Thanks for listening (if u made it so far)

Hope u all have a better weekend.

((((((HUGS))))))

Sally
Know how you feel, must feel wrecked now.
But take it easy, give yourselves some time to calm down and think. Sometimes these things are blessings in desgise - you just might think of The-Best solution!

xxxxx

[Lis]

Morning all

Sally you're not silly at all to feel how you're feeling. Its totally understandable that you're peeved off with the situation but MLG is right, once you have a few days just to mull it all over, hopefully you and dh will come to the right solution for both of you. Take care. Lots of hugs to you
Julie good to hear from you. How's your ankle doing and how did you do it?
Lucy - good to hear you sounding cheery and enjoying you r weekend. Hope the christening goes well. Yeah freaky we've both got contacts - I'm in a clinical role but just stepped into a managerial/budgetary role too. I know how come we can't get perks and get free tmt?? So unfair!!
Jen - how was your evening with your friends? What is BUZZ? We have a playstation and any games not involving football or fighting most welcome!
MLG - are you off anywhere this week with work or just having a lazy one??
Nicki - hope everything's good with you and your new house is starting to feel homely.
Well I'm off for a jog then to met a friend in Starbucks for a real good catch up and enormous (decaf) latte. Had 2 friends over last night for dinner then went out for a few vinos. Came back relatively sober - a good thing as cannot handle the hang overs any more. Get a bit teary plus get big massive monstrous hangovers from !! Anyone else like that?
Also meant to say that dh and I have been asked to become godparents to our friend's little boy. He's so gorgeous! The christening is 30th April. Jen can you tell me how I update the list and I'll add this in. Also means another pair of hands to update

Bye for now! P.s do you like my rainbow effect??

[lolajones]

Helloooo Gorgeous Firebirds

Once again I've been a stunning 9.5 on the crap scale of posting, I am a non catching up Olympian! Excuses are 1) work 2) work 3) work - intense times at Unwell Centrale.

Sally - it doesn't sound daft at all, I'd feel the same in your position. Its impossible to be sensible and objective when its all tied to something so integral and emotional. Take some time. Sending you lots of love.

Lis - I like the sound of your Sunday very SATC. The Bucks is also on my agenda along with a hefty portion of window shopping if I can manage to get out of my pyjamas. Love the rainbow - I still can't get the colours to work

MLG - What date will you start treatment in March? It'll be a fresh cycle, right? How are you feeling???

Jeni - valued contributer! nice one Have you got an ice cream hangover? Can your dad contact the consultant himself?

Lucy - you can't beat a top night of dancing! You sound so much better lately - you're fantastic and strong!

Julie - hows the ankle? Make the most of it, hire some crutches and take another week off! Hope your weekend was relaxing.....

Hope all the other phoenixi are bueno and having a well deserved heavenly weekend.

I have my co-ordination appointment tomorrow. Know its stupid but I worry that they'll have found some random spurious reason why I can't start this month after all "I'm sorry, Mrs "Where Positivity Goes To Die", you are wearing underwear that does not match so we will have to postpone your next cycle, goodbye" It would all get a bit Buffy if that happened..
Ok gorgeous girls, I'm off to try and pry off my pj's and enter the outside world....focus on the shopping...focus on the shopping...

Love like a Walnut Whip

Hi All

Lola – Don’t you dare let your PMA get so low! You’ll see that all with be fine
Going to start around the 25th March, depends on when AF arrives. I’ll be a fresh cycle since I had only two good embryos last time, so have to start all over again. Feeling a tad low at the moment. PMA is OK but I’m feeling tired and a bit “worn-out”. Thinking of taking some vitamin-mineral complex.

Lisa – This week I don’t have any work trips, done enough of that for now. I must have slept at least 11 hours the night I came back! Will be having training classes Monday and Tuesday though. Loved your rainbow-effect!

Julie – Hope your ankle is better. Your weekend sounds heavenly! Try not to stress to much at work. We gals need our PMA!

Lucy – Love your ticker. Sound like you’re having a wonderful time – dancing and retail therapy – need to do some of those!

Jen – I do so feel for your father. It’s hard enough to go through that ordeal, to be put “on-hold” afterward must be the pits. I know I would be going crazy, I hate not knowing.

Nicki - How's the new house? or ?

It has been nice and warm for the last three days, "smelling" of Spring already

Hi Ladies

Julie - Hope the ankle is better now, know what you mean about feeling crap at work with changes going on, our company is currently going through merging, people not knowing where they stand, I have been told my job is safe, but it doesn't stop the atmosphere. Hope you had a good weekend, just chilling with your wine, chocs, curry etc (uummm sounds nice)

Sally - Hope your feeling a bit better, I know this must be very hard for, and no you do not sound silly, it is totally understandable to feel this way. What does your husband say.?

Lis - What lovely news about you becoming godparents, It was my nieces christening yesterday, I was so happy to become her godparent. She is a very special little girl to me, who I love dearly.. It was a lovely day.! Sound like you had a nice weekend with friends..!

Lola - Bless you, I hope your appoitment went OK. Let us know when you can, know your busy.! Sometimes its hard to stay positive, but everything will be fine. I still have days where I'm feeling really down about everything that has happened but I feel I have to stay strong, becuase if docs feel I aren't they wont let me cycle again (mad I know, but I have days like that)

MLG - Hope your feelign OK? I have my appoitment soon, I am hoping to start in March too, I don't think they will let me until April's AF, but I am going to see if I can cycle next month (fingers crossed)

Jeni - Hows you? Good weekend I hope.? I know its hard for you and your family, your dad having to wait so long for an appoitment. Is there no way of chasing it up, trying to get him in sooner. Anyway take care Hun.

Well ladies, I have a day off today so I'm just chilling out, going to have a lazy day.

Sorry if I have missed anyone, but sending you all a big hug

Lucy
