Awaiting Treatment

[Welshgirl38]

Jen,

I took the liberty of anwsering some of ur dilemas on the list below: Hope u dont mind ....

Jen: I spent all last night sleeping badly and worrying about things like
what if a child breaks up my marriage,

Becky: If u can get thru as many IVF's as u have hun - ur marriage is super strong

Jen: what if i cant bond with it

Becky: Seriously - u will bond. Once u have that child in your home and start to look after it, the bond will come, might not be over night - but honest hun it will come, and it will hit u like a bus - u wont know anything like it - its beautiful

Jen: what if it doesnt like us

Becky: I cant see that happening, for a start - how cud someone NOT like u? And 2, the SW will make sure the child is happy before placing it with you

Jen: what if we cant get shifts shorted for child care

Becky: U will work around it, as u would if u had given birth. U are allowed 'time off' for adopting and fostering the same as 'maternity leave' these days.

Jen: what if the kid goes to look for its own parents at 18

Becky: That might happen, if it does then u have to be strong and understand how the child feels, he/she is just looking for its roots - u will always be the mother - u will be the one that kisses her/him better when she or he falls and hurts, u will be the one that it calls mum, u will be the one it has bonded with -im afraid worrying about that will come with the territory of adoption, the SW's are there to help u deal with that.

Jen: what if it doesnt what us then

Becky: You are a loving mother waiting for ur child - why would it not want u? Hell hun i have a 19 and 17 yr old - sometimes i dont bloody want them lol, but im their mother, as u will be this childs, it will always come to u.

Jen: what if it has behavioural problems

Becky: Read above, any child can have behavioural problems - u wouldnt give ur own flesh and blood up if it was a pain in the arse now and again would u lol

Jen: what if i am stressed about it mucking up my house, lol (thats a daft one)

Becky: Its not daft lol - that is actually on my list of 'cons' i love my house, i love my things - but u learn to live with having a child, u teach it not to lift ur royal doulton doll - and to sit and admire it instead - failing that - get a higher shelf lol

Jen: what if i cant be bothered to be a mum after all this

Becky: Thats also on my 'cons' list (i dont actually have many 'pro's' lol) But once ur child is there, u will look back on this list and wonder wot all the fuss was about - u wont remember ur life as it is now .... trust me, ive been there and i wouldnt go back

Jen: what if i still grieve for my own and reject it

Becky: If u were going to reject it - then i dont think u would be even looking down that route. You will get to spend time with ur chosen child before the initial adoption (sort of - try before u buy lol) and then get to spend days out wih him/her, get to know them - u will know b4 they are left with ur royal doulton doll if u want them there or not lol

Jen: what if friends dont treat it like its mine as its not biological

Becky: Then they are not ur true friends!

Jen: what if its UGLY---you know i dont do uglies lol (sorry another daft one)

Becky: Hahahahahaha - u do make me laff hun - well if it really is THAT bad u cud always book it in for a make over (joke!)

Jen: My friend has always said if the ivf ever worked then its still natural to be shocked that you are pregnant and to feel lots of emotions about the changes that will happen.

Becky: Of course it does, but that also goes for any pregnancy weather it be IVF or not ..... hell i thought it was gonna be brill when i got my wee dog - but it was sheer hell lol - that was 3 years ago and i still have the wee man! What im saying is, dont think that everything will be a bed of roses if u have ur own or even an adopted child - its not easy adjusting to either, there will be good times, there will be bad times, there will be 'right ive had a titfull, im leaving' times - but u will get thru them, as we all do - i wouldnt change a thing about my life (maybe the fact that i married a prick the first time around lol) but that prick gave me my beautiful daughters - who are a lot of time, a pain in the arse, and im still adjusting after 19 years lol - but i wouldnt have it any other way

Jen: Maybe i am just being daft but i think i would prefer another 2ww

Becky: Your not daft at all hun, its only cos thats what ur used to - and besides, u can still have ur 2ww while being on the adoption list, u never know it might be the making of u

Jen: Anyway still a long way to go and i'm still praying i can have my own little bundle, thats what i really want, so have to focus on the frosties first.

Becky: So i have sat here for the past half hour and anwsered all ur questions, which i will prob have to anwser again in a years time when ur about to meet ur child for the first time - arghhhhhhhhhhhhh! LOL

Seriously tho hun, i think ur doing the right thing - looking into it - its not like a child is gonna fall on ur lap tomorrow is it. U have plenty of time to think things over, plenty of time to decide what u want - and as u say - u still have ur frosties waiting for u - u have a lot to look fwd to The list will still be here in 10 years time, just would have changed a little to:

Why does she want to wear make up at such an early age
Why does the boy next door keep blowing her kisses
How do i discuss the facts of life when all she does is giggle in my face!
She is not - i repeat NOT going out with him ......

Great fun, and u have it all to come ....... LOL

Nimble/Jacks: Well bloody done on 7 embies thats brill news, so happy for u. Rest up and take it easy. Just one quick question, about wearing a 'pull u into shape' thing under ur dress - is that ok with the embies just in? I think i would be afraid to wear summit tight, mind u saying that, the one i have got (JML) i have to breath in and struggle to get into it, and then by the end of the night - i just flubber out of it lol, ive just bought a trinney and susannah one from debenhame £40 - its really comfortable, much better than the jml - just u be careful, u dont want to be uncomfortable at the party, or u will be running to the loo to strip off (ive done that before too lol)

Hello to everyone else, im shatterd - DH is away in the states, was due home 2moro morning, but flight delayed so now he has missed his connection in Boston = he wont be home in the morning He's been gone 2 weeks and i miss him like mad So any ladies from Boston - if u see a really good looking man looking lost near the airport - he's mine, wrap him up and send him home safe lol

Night Night

Becky- I live here. I'll keep an eye on him. Right now he's having a boring dinner in Logan's airport lounge all by himself. I see him thinking bout you right now...I can tell cuz that smile on his face isn't brought on by the flight delay nor the fine airport food!!! That international terminal sucks to high heavens, you'd think you were in Alcatraz on a tour rather than a major airport's international terminal!!!! Maybe it is to keep people from wanting to defect here before leaving for home, I dunno... think the movie The Terminal....but from hell!! I do hope he gets out before the storm coming...or I should say worsening, later tonight!!!

Steph

[nimble]

morning ladies - ok I'm officially PUPO!!!! 2 lil embies both excellent and at 4 cell stage.

Unfortunately, a little sad too, as the other embies just were not up to freezing so had a little prayer for them too

Test date is the 30th November - I'm not a POAS type girl - too frightened to see what happens so going hold out til then! Saw a different nurse today and she was so sweet, she described my womb as 2 pieces of buttered bread stuck together with my lil ones stuck inside !! in any funny way it reassured me that they won't fall out!

Did you know, that they scan your lining during EC and determine the optiumum place to put your beanies - new one for me - see doesn't matter how times you do this, you always find out something new!! I always thought they just plonked them in.

Working from home today (yeah right!!)

Jen1d - well, what I can say, think Becky was spot on with her answers - if you didn't have doubts/questions/worries then you wouldn't be human. Any decision we make which potentially changes your life will always throw up questions and what if's because it is a big step and life changing. I completely echo Becky's thoughts - who wouldn't like you - any child you adopted will love you and respect you as much as we do! Look at your keychild - what more can I say x

Becky - uummm now you've put doubts in my mind about my body suit!! I got a firm body shaper from M&S last night - not sure its going to be that tight, but will try on later. You know, I looked at those shaper knickers and my only question is - where does it push it all?? Surely its got to reappear some where hasn;t it?? I'm sure the same will go with the body - I'll probably end up with boobs like Katie Price lol

Hope hubby makes it home soon - i'm sure Peq will look after him xx

Jen B - if you want to hibernate then do it - oh with a big cosy quilt, lots of cushions, your fav DVDs, a warm fire, cup of coco (or in your case a glass of wine) roasting chesnuts.....whoops sorry gettting away with myself there - god so tempted to do that myself now Do what ever makes you feel comfortable....but whatever you decide hope you enjoy.

ICSI - hey where are you - too busy miss bosy boots in your new job???

Steph -uuummm so want to come over to Boston now and experience that wonderful terminal !! My friend is cabin crew and says that the shopping over there is fab.

Guess should do a little work, just to show willing!!

Nims xx

[Jen1d]

Becky, your a

Thanks for your help, you are so right and i probably knew the answers already but its so good to have reassurance and know i'm not going mad.
Adoption just brings up so many different questions from the ivf and donor route i was on---well am still on to, i lied to the social worker

Jackie

Brilliant news about being PUPO, well done babe.
Know how you are feeling, i was there a few cycles ago but as hard as it is, you have to try and focus on chilling and keeping yourself well for your embies that are on board. Good luck am here for you

Karia - Sounds about the same as over here but there is always the chance that the child you have fostered will not be up for adoption then there is more heartache. I love my job and wouldnt want to give it up completely, dont think i could afford to either.
Yep we thought about adoption from abraod but after looking into it, its very expensive and hard work getting the children back into the country. Over here the Local Authority pays for the adoption so thats much better. Also be careful as lots of Russian children can have many problems/disabilities.

Hi to everyone else, am in a rush as i start work soon.


and cheer for Scotland ----especially the English ones

Love Jen x

[shantala]

hi all

just wanted to pop in and say

jackie - congrats on bringing your lil embies home!!! thats great news! please do keep an eye on your symptoms though in case you're at risk of the OHSS. ring me any time if you're concerned...ooohhh, 30th, not long! yeah right. sorry to hear about your other embies.....prayers for them this end. but hey, you dont need them, right?

jen1d - oh hun, i'm sure you would bond with that child. some people dont bond with their "own" children because of baby blues or whatever reason so that could happen with any child. however conceived. and i can assure you, even though i'm on cloud 9 with this bfp, i worry about some of the issues that you've listed. i think when we've been through so much, the whole experience of getting a child makes you think twice about anything and everything. and its completely normal. (and i've wondered what i'm gonna do if mine comes out ugly! lol)

welshbugger - you're a diamond. always here if one of us needs you! mwah!

carolyn - hows the 2ww going?? oohhhh, another bfp'er soon! maybe we can start an awaiting tmt bfp thread then!? i dont feel "at home" on any of the other threads "on the other side" so havent joined any. the only one i post at now is this one as its still home! come on, carolyn's embies...stick, stick, stick!!!

hi to everyone else, gill, lara, pequele, squeezan, jenb, ICSI, jayne, sorry i know there's so many more!

as for me, all good. cant believe how time is flying by! have been back to work full-time for 3 weeks, which is going well. morning sickness has more or less stopped now but only really this last week. not that i'm complaining! someone asked me (sorry, think it was jen1d?) if i had any cravings yet and the answer is no. i do have a bacon roll every morning but thats more to keep the queasiness away. apart from that ive been eating more oranges or drinking orange juice and eating lots of sweet stuff (and i mean really sweet stuff like sherbert) but thats it. got my 20 week scan on the 12th dec. oh and due date is 26th april for the list....can anybody please update as i cant do it?? lol.....anyway, enough of me. hoping that lots of you can join me soon!!!!

take care

[ICSI GIRL]

Steph ---- PMA=POSITVE MENTAL ATTITUDE……silly girl!! Seriously, hope you’re hangin in there…..only 3 more sleeps…..

Rachel --- OMG, you say “not officially winter” – but temps are 0 to -2…..is that farenheit????????? That’s pretty damn cold if you ask me!!! And here I’ve been whining about our 40’ish degree (farenheit) weather!!! Hope you get things squared away w/ your pisser car!!!

Nimble ----- WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OUR NEWEST R*O*C*K*S*T*A*R!!!!! (or 2ww’er)…….STICK-EMBIES-STICK!!! You know the drill…….and we’ll be here THE WHOLE WAY THRU!!!! And for the record --- I bet it really IS the dress that’s looking all lumpy and bumpy --- cuz PUPO women are just BEAUTIFUL w/ all their curves!!!!!

Jenb --- you have MS huh?? Do you take daily meds?? Curious….my dh’s ex wife has it…. And mostly – you wouldn’t know, except that she does walk w/ a cane now cuz her one foot drags a bit…..ACTUALLY – is when she was initially diagnosed they decided to have children……her doc said if you’re gonna do it --- do it now!! So they did and had 2 beautiful boys!!! (now 14 & 16….but they are wonderful boys!!) and you’re so right --- your health (and happiness) is WAY more important than $$$$$ …..have a good time at the pub tonight!!

Jen1 ---- “WHAT IF HE’S UGLY”????????? you are just a hoot!!!!! You are going thru very natural set of emotions as it relates to becoming a MUMMY……is perfectly normal to be going thru all the “what if’s” ---- but just know that YOU ARE READY for this…..you’ve been preparing a LONG time and you will be a WONDERFUL MUM!!!!!

Becky --- love that you’re back!! Sorry you’ve been missing dh…..i know that sucks …. I assume dh traveled for WORK??? What does he do?? Speaking of which, how are you coming along on your job hunt?? Weren’t you going to be looking for something new???

PHEWWWW!!!!! So I went to my normal obgyn yesterday cuz of my ovary “discomfort” --- got to do the very fun LEG IN STIRRUPS thing (I know – you’re all very jealous!! ) after a full check up – says everything looks/feels very normal!!! THANK GOD…..he says that often after ivf – women are much more “in tune” w/ their ovaries and what they’re doing than before…..no matter --- bottom line is that I got a clean bill of health!!! And of course – he insisted that I POAS…..and OF COURSE, came back NEG…..and I’m just a few days from AF’s arrival – so I’m sure is accurate --- another month of AF for me!!! Well – I’ll be out of touch for the weekend (as usual), have a big college rival football game tomorrow that we’ll be having friends over to watch it…..eat crap food and drink beer – WOO-HOO!!!! And then I’ll have Sunday to clean and rest up for a short work-week next week cuz of Turkey day!!! Gobble-gobble!

Hope you guys have a FAB weekend!!!

[Pummalaemma]

angie: i am so glad you are okay. yeahh!! enjoy your weekend and i'll be thinking about you when i eat my tofurky next week.

CarolynB, Squeezan, Nimble: good luck on your 2ww, i am sending much baby dust. how are things going? i know it's hard to predict.

shantala: i am not sure if we have "spoken" before, but i am so happy for you and april is a great month to have a baby. both my moms and dh's birthdays are in april.

Jen1d: i am very happy that your adoption visit went well and can totally understand your concerns. i have similar thoughts. we have also looked into adoption and are currently mostly considering domestic adoption, even though i am very seriously considering the Ukraine.

karia: good luck on your adoption quest as well. i have met some many moms here in the US that have adopted and all are so happy with their little one. they love them as if they had given birth to them and i am sure we will too.

sorry if i missed anyone, i am thinking about all of you. happy weekend.

Pumma

[ICSI GIRL]

pumma --- TOFURKY????? am guessing you're vegetarian???? (i'm a quick one like that -- i know!!) sorry --- but i'm a MEAT & POTATOES kind of gal (and my bum reflects that too!!!) i'll be eating TURKEY thank-you-very-much!!

[Welshgirl38]

Becky --- love that you’re back!! Sorry you’ve been missing dh…..i know that sucks …. I assume dh traveled for WORK??? What does he do?? Speaking of which, how are you coming along on your job hunt?? Weren’t you going to be looking for something new???

DH travels a lot to the states for work yes, also Bulgeria, Belguim, Slovenia, u name it - he's been (git lol) its no fun tho im afraid, all work (or so he tells me lol) He works in IT software, all Gobbledy Gook to me lol. As for my work - i had an interview last Thursday and got the job by Monday Same kind of job im doing now (Admin/Accounts) More Money and about an extra 15/20 mins on my journey! More holidays They are letting me start after xmas as i didnt want to leave my current job untill xmas and because i didnt want to lose out on hol pay so i am sorted - think thats been on my mind a little too these past few weeks - i suppose it all builds up and comes out in different ways....

Jackie: Awwwww hun, CONGRATS on being PUPO, its lovely to see u on the 2ww list again lol @ katie price hahahaha - ur funny

Carolynb: So sorry hun, i dont think i congratulated u on being pupo did i? Well - Congrats comming ur way - how do u feel this time around?? Sending u great big hugs .....

Morning Girlies

Well 1 week down and I am still hanging in just!

So biggie coming up as I catch up with everyones news..........

Nimble - congrats on being PUPO and joining me and Su on the 2ww. I am sorry that the others did not make it for freezing. I am still upset that we had no frosties. Anyhow we are not going to need them - RIGHT! Read what the nurse said to you about the embies in a tight sandwich. That is really helpful. I some how think that they will drop out if I sneeze or cough. Hope that you are taking good care and letting dh look after you

Becky - sorry that your dh is away. Hope that he is back to you soon. Congrats on the new job. More money is good and you get the holiday pay from the old role too. Sounds like a good result girl. Cannot believe you wrote such amazing answers to our Jen1d. I just told her to stop worrying all the time!!!

Jen1d - stop worrying. I am so pleased that the adoption meeting went really well for you. Please try to give yourself a break. You and your dh have a strong relationship. You really want a child. You do a demanding job that requires you to take on very tough cases. You do that. It will all fall into place. And by next Xmas you'll have at least two!!!

Gill - when are you off on your holidays? Bet you are so excited

Shantala & Rachel - WOW. Cannot believe that you are both so far along. Glad that you are both doing so well. Now Jen got me into I'm A Celebrity. Watching ladies??? And what about X Factor and Dancing - any fellow addicts? Sorry working is boring Rachel but try to use the time to relax and enjoy being pregnant. Shantala - you can imagine how much I want to join you on that thread

Karia - good luck with the sw visit. Jen can give you all the tips as her appointment seems to have gone really well. Hope that you can foster a baby very soon

Steph - so hope that there will be a very visible heartbeat on your scan on Monday. Everything crossed

JB - hope that you are taking time for you and not working too hard. You need time to recover. Day at a time babe. Hope that the acu is helping and that you have something nice planned for the weekend

Jayne - let's hope next Monday is a super day for your scan and my testing. Promise that I have been taking it easy and have not gone near the ironing since we got back from Barcelona. It will have to wait

LauraLou - so sweet of you to pop in hun. Cannot believe that Nicholas and James are over 6 months old already. Hope that you & your dh are enjoying every moment of it. Thanks for cheering me on - need it based on my track record!!!

Pumma - Yes it is our 1st try with DE and the 1st try where we know that there is male factor too (sperm fragmentation issues) so the 1st time he has had direct removal of the swimmers through an op (TESA). We will have to wait and see whether this has made any difference??? Saw you asked about LauraLou's twins. They were a miracle. Laura and I were on the 1st thread that I ever joined March/April 2006. We cycled together the 1st time. Laura got a +ve but then m/c. She did another ivf cycled again last summer whilst I had tubal surgery. She got a +ve. Then a -ve. Thought that she had another m/c. One beanie hung on and split. Then they were concerned that the sacs were joined. It really was an amazing story

ICSI/Angie - so pleased that all is well. Best to get checked out now. Pee sticks. Hmmmm. I have some stashed in my drawer. Can hear the girls shouting us from here I did use on my 1st go but way too early. All other cycles, I have bleed from Day 11 so never even got to pee on a stick, let alone get to test day. Now this time. IF and it is a massive IF I get through next week then I may take a different decision. My test is on a Monday am when I will be at work. Think that I will pee on a stick on Sunday to get my head around the result. What do you think?

Su - how are you bearing up? 1 week done babe. Hang in there

Aunty - thinking of you

Hugs to anyone who I have missed. Sorry.

Hope that the US girls will have a great Thanksgiving towards the end of the week. Enjoy!!

So I have just worked (ha ha) from home since we came back from Barcelona. Have not been out of the house since we got back on Tuesday. Watching lots of rubbish TV (Celebrity - Jen - my dh is mad that you have got me into it!!). I have no symptoms at all. No sore boobs. No back ache. No real cramps to think of.

Monday is a really bad day for me - Day 11 (9dp2dt). I will be back at work and will just have to get on with it - whatever happens. 4 times I have started bleeding at almost 10am on the dot. The Barcelona babes tell me that the meds this time are different and I should get through it but the proof will be in what actually happens. Cross everything for me. Almost more worried about this Monday than next Monday as I have never ever got that far..............

Enjoy the weekend girls. Mine will be arranged around X Factor, Strictly Come Dancing and I'm a Celebrity plus some on line Xmas Shopping.

Lots of Love to you all
Carolyn

Hi ladies,

Jen1, sorry your now beating yourself up about adoption, i can understand your fears. To try to reassure you my best friend is adopted and her parents never told her (not saying thats the right thing to do), she got curious about a few things some years ago but was scared to bring it up with her parents so she asked her doctor after doing some research. he confirmed that she had been adopted as a baby. She was so scared of her parents finding out that it took her 6 years to tell them she knew. Now it is all in the open its much better for all, and she has no intention of finding her real parents. However she felt very guilty about times of arguments when she'd said the usual teenage things : i hate you, i wish you wer'nt my parents etc, that we can all relate to at some stage in our life. We as her friends had a hard time convincing her we had all done the same and had nothing to do with the fact she was adopted. What i am trying to say is she is one of the most loving, well adjusted caring people you could meet, and its down to her mum and dad. you get that right from being there for them every day not giving birth to them.

Jenb, hope you had a good night regardless of what you decided to do. Have you another busy weekend or are you taking it easy.

Carolyn, one down , one to go, hang in there, will have my fingers crossed for you that you get past Monday, glad you've been taking it easy. enjoy the weekend, i love celebrity GMoT, Janice makes me laugh doing the trials, useless although i'd not go near either.

Su, hope your doing ok, only another week to go.

jackie, congrats on being PUPO, sorry the others didn't make it, but your not going to need any more!! Hope your managing to take it easy this weekend.

Becky, glad your back, hope DH makes an appearance soon, with a nice prezzie for you!, mush have had enough time for that. Well done on the job front, always good when more money's involved. Your answers to Jen were great, already freaking out about life changes in our not very child friendly house.

Steph, good luck for your scan on Monday, hope all is well and you see the heartbeat.

Sorrt to every one i've missed, will post again soon.

As for me, doing ok, still feeling sick, odd cramps and twinges here and there, driving myself crazy. I have to say this 2ww is killing me, waiting for the scan, even though i've seen the result i am scared stiff there will be nothing to see on the 26th. I'm going nuts.
On another note, got a delivery of folwers this morning from DH, inside he'd just put Thankyou, i cried. He then said i should have put happy anniversary on them too and killed two birds with one stone. who says romance is dead. Our wedding anniversary is on Wednesday, 17 years. you get less for murder (ha ha!!)
Anyway got to go, pile of ironing to do, and have to go to a seminar for work tomorrow in Coventry, so thats my Sunday gone.

Take care ladies
jayne

[lara312]
