Thanks Jen!
I can't believe you had to feel everything while sedated! That must have been awful! I was completely out of it last time and don't remember a thing, I'd been so paranoid i was going to waffle on (no change there then)to the Nurses I told DH to keep me quiet if I did start talking!! Luckily I didn't... I am trying to be more positive now, my Mum has suggested a Barley sugar when I wake can apparently stop you feeling sick.. And of course I'll just be chuffed to get to EC if all goes to plan!
How are you getting on? Hope you're resting up!

Hi everybody
Pam I am so sorry about your negative result...look after yourself.
Good luck everyone on the 2ww, keeping my fingers crossed for lots of positives!
Kel I had heavy sedation /general last time. Luckily I can't remember a thing, my ovaries are very high and sometimes it can take upto 20 minutes to find the right side one. I think the hardest time was had by my husband waiting for me to come back out of theatre. The good thing though was when he came in for the transfer bit, although he was more interested in the screen than talking to me!!!
I'm on day 3 stimming and I am feeling really crap!!! I have to take medication 9 times a day (3 for IVF) and I am feeling very sorry for myself. I'm really tired all the time and my poor husband couldn't do anything right the other day. I can't remember feeling this bad last time although my husband says it really did knock me around. My legs are covered in bruises I've been injecting 4 weeks now so its like spot a space...! Oh well! only 11 more days of injections (yes!!!).
Thinking of you all.

Hi Jackie
You do sound like a pin cushion you poor love.....
The way i look at it is.........at least you are doing something towards your goal.......when we are not in treatment, we want to get right back at it........injections and all.........those 11 days will fly by!
Talking about injections.....this time I am using Gestone instead of Cyclogest pessaries.............oh my god....went to the practice nurse this morning to get it done....it is intramuscular and my Dh would pass out.......my a*se has been in cramp all day!!!!!!!!!

Hiya!
Jackie - It is a bit of a rollercoaster isn't it! Do you feel like you could play join the dots??
The stimming will fly by, I can't believe how quick the time is going! When is your scan?
JenF - Is that just one injection?? OMG! That sounds painful!! Those IM jabs are bloody long needles! So does that just stay in your system now? How did you get out of those lovely pessaries????!!!!! I bet you miss them really!!
Jill - Come on, fill us in on your tv schedule then!!?
Bye!

Hi Buddies,
I'm not feeling too great today, my stomach feels crampy and horribly like AF pains! I am day 7 of 2ww now.
I hope everyone is ok today and thanks for all the lovely messages. I am going to watch John Simm in "Sex Trade" see if that cheers me up.
Take care all buddies love Jill xx

Hi Jill
Don't panic yet sweets!!! One of the biggest signs of pregnancy can be af pains!! I have a friend who got pg naturally and was convinced her af was going to arrive even after 9 months!!
Check this out too http://www.babysnark.com/early-pregnanc ... mptoms.asp .......... you might have to cut and paste it, if it doesn't work go to www.babysnark.com and click pregnancy signs.....you'll see it there!!
I know how you feel though........i feel totally normal now no bloating, nothing and hardly got any sleep last night worrying about it all......planning how quickly I can do it again! It is just a real pain, you just cannot seem to get it out of your mind!!
We are all here for you sweets........remember pma pma!!

Hi There, just to say I still lurk and read all about your adventures! It will make me very, very happy to see you all get BFPs!!!! Good luck with all the stimms, shots and treatments. Fingers crossed.
For anyone who remembers me, I feel OK with having finally stopped treatments. It's taken a little while and I'm sure will hit me again from time to time but yesterday I started giving away all my baby clothes. In just over a year my daughter had already grown out of 60 pairs of pjs and 50 bodies/onesies!!! We had filled 6 of the huge Ikea storage bags with too-small stuff. I guess I might have gone slightly OTT with her wardrobe but I'd waited a long time so who cares?? It made us sad to see her clothes being taken away but also happy to know other little girls will be wearing them soon.
I might post this next thing in a solo thread but I've a box of 15 Crinone pessaries, unopened and good until Sept. 2006. Anyone want to make me a low offer, they cost me about 90 quid (drugs are silly prices over here) but just cover the postage and they're yours!
Baby Dust to you all!
love
Debra.

Hi jen
What a lovely message thank you. The pains have continued but I just continue to lie down and hope for the best!! I also felt normal for first 6 days except for guggling stomach due to the delightful pessaries!
Are you lieing down all the time?I am pretty much except when I get up to check for messages which I have to say are helping so much. I so wish I had found this site 6 years ago when I was struggling with infertility on my own I only know one friend (apart from you lot of course!) who has been through all of this. There is nothing on tele tonight except "Have I got news for you". So Kel I will be searching through my vast selection on DVD's bought in Thailand about 50 pence each!
Kel, I hope you are doing ok today how are you feeling? Any side effects yet?
Speak later take care all buddies love Jill xxx

Hi Buddies!
Jill - Hope you are feeling better today? Pains are meant to be a good sign! Although I know that doesn't help much, I know how testing the 2ww is, every twinge and pain you wonder what's going on.. I hope to be joining you 2ww girls next week! Try and keep positive and don't know if you have got the zita west book? But in there it says after day 5 you can go for a gentle walk if you feel you are climbing the walls a bit? Not long now though - when's test date??
JenF - Hope those biggie jabs are going ok!! How are you doing??
Jackie + Elizabeth - hope it's all going well for you both too...
Well EC is on for Monday as planned! Scan was fine yesterday so I'm really pleased! Feel pretty uncomfortable most of the time now though, so I hope the drive up to York tonight (4 hours) doesn't finish me off!! I'm really glad I'm doing a gig tonight to keep me busy (and stay in a nice hotel with DH!) BUT going to be a bit stressed as got to finish our set just before midnight, as I have to do my HCG jab at midnight!
So I will be doing it in the venue toilets!! The things we do HEY!!
Bye for now!
Kel xx

Hi Kel
Good to hear from you. So injection in the toilet you are a classy chick! I think that's where the old sense of humour has to be there. If things get tight near 12pm just cut the odd chorus Joe Public will never notice!!! Have a good gig any way and a nice relax in the hotel. It all sounds as if things are rolling along well with you. Good luck for EC on Mondayx
I am now on day 9 of 2ww. The pains have continued since early hours on Wed no sign of AF yet but I feel like any second now. Jen sent me some great sites that tell of womens experience of feeling AF pains and then finding out they are pg. My test day is Friday 22nd so only 8 days!
Jen
When is your test day? you are several days behind me, Kel will be along side us soon. How are you today?
Hoe are all other buddies going? love to all jill xx

Hi Guys
Kel - have a fab gig and good luck with the jab!! Fingers and toes crossed for Monday and then you can panic with Jill and I!!
Jill - hang in there sweets!! Not long now.....god don't you just wish you could hibernate!!
The district nurse gave me my jab this morning......real sweetheart....but it is a ***** of an injection......thank god I can do my 2 heparin a day myself.........they do sting a bit though!! The district nurse had done 10 IVFs!!!!!!! She did say she had everything wrong with her and it would be miraculous if it worked!
Test day for me is Monday 25th (if I make it that far without af)!! It is a blood test!
Have a good weekend
love
JenFxx

Hi everybody
I'm having a really bad day today -very weepy. i have to take medication 9 times a day 19 tablets & the 3 ivf injections, it really does feel like one big circle of meds. I feel absolutely terrible! I know it will all be worth it if we manage to have a baby but at the moment it really does feel like it is so far away. I am so tired. We have our day 8 scan on Tuesday so hopefully seeing some follicles will give me the boost I need.
I'm sorry for the negative post.
Hope everybody is ok and the 2ww are managing to keep busy and positive.
Take care
Jackie
