Hello ladies!

How are you all doing? It's nice to see that the board is still very active today! Means that a lot of people are sneaking away from work-related tasks to snoop in here!

AMC Oh! But that's FANTASTIC news! You must be so happy! How do you feel? It's a chance the blood test is only two days away! Enjoy that special day my dear! I hope your two little embies stuck to their mommy-to-be! Woohoo!

mominwaiting Congratulation for starting your cycle! You're right, it's very exciting to start and become proactive! I hope your Lupron starts sooner than later!

Aunty, Shantala, Charlie, SS, I'm glad the info I posted was useful for you and, in some cases, helped lower your anxiety. That was the whole point!

Haylie I'm the same! I was shopping for a new winter coat and I would like it quite fitting around the waist to give me a glass hour shape given the fact I'm tall (thanks TLC! ), but at the same time, I was thinking that a coat like that might not agree with the end of a pregnancy! Which is a bit ridiculous because if my first attempt works, I'll deliver before next winter of course! It's really a strange moment... knowing that you could be at this or that stage at a precise moment... but still having no confirmation... travelling, conventions, work decisions, removations... all this makes some decisions hard to make. You don't want to assume you'll be pregnant, but you still take it into consideration!

cookholmes Ah, you're like my best friend! She does not like to cry in front of other people; she takes it as a BIG sign of weakness. Hehehe she doesn't mind complaining all the time, but crying, that's another story, lol! But more seriously... IVF cycles, and pregnancy/first months after delivery even more, are very emotional phases of a woman's life, and she has all reasons to share those emotions with her life partner. If you don't learn to count on him to be there when you're vulnerable and emotional now, what will you do when you feel completely exhausted after a couple of sleepless nights and worry big time about failing as a mother? Be strong and lock yourself in a room to cry alone? It's an image that would make me feel very sad for you. That being said, I don't like to be emotional in front of my partner either; I always worry that he'll think I'm just an oversensitive female! I want to show him that I can be zen, in control and composed like him... but you know, on the occasions that I let myself be emotional and open up to him, cry in his arms and show him how much I hurt, he doesn't do much, but his presence means everything. And those moments bring us closer and closer each time. With each time, too, I have more and more confidence that he's going to stand by my side and be there for me when I need him. That's priceless for my couple; yours might gain a great deal from it as well. People around us during this IVF thing don't see we're strong because we don't complain or because we don't cry. They see our strength because we handle the physical changes, injections, doctor's appointments, sacrifices, worries, pains, difficult waits, disappointments... and just don't give up on our dream to become mommies. That's what real strength is about; has nothing to do with tears here.

jodic I'm so sorry that this is happening to you at this stage of your cycle! Oh, poor thing, you must be so anxious! I really, sincerely hope that your follicles are salvageable and that the meds you took will save the situation on time. My thoughts are with you sweetie, hang in there!

and last but not least... BECLEO!
Sweetie! Awwwww those few words really said it all! It must have been such an emotional moment! How did your DH react? I'm SO glad that your little peanut is doing OK! What more is there to say! Life is BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks for those who supported me for the mental attitude thing, but let me give you just one nuance. It's not that I find it difficult to stay positive, not at all. I'm simply trying to find a way to stay positive without losing my realism, assuming it will work too much, and then be devastated if I get a BFN. That's all. But I'm the one who has to find the answer...

Take care ladies!

Hi Ladies

Bec - SO happy for you you must be on cloud 9 and you sound so chilled and relaxed. Good for you girl.

Jodic - I do hope they manage to save the cycle - thinking of you-do try to stay calm.

AF arrived today for me - NATURALLY! which is very exciting for me and one lot of drugs less I have to take . Aunty - I can officially move up a step on the board - It's a bit like snakes and ladders isn't it!! - start BCP on 16 Jan (day 5) and then wait for my schedule. (please can you also take me out of "thoughts and prayers" even though it's a lovely spot, I have had my turn there now and I am movin' on up! movin' up!

So a question Aunty - you lucky thing, how did you avoid the BCP phase and go straight to down reggin' - is it just a clinic thing? I don't understand the BCP phase - is it just so the clinics can hold us in a holding pattern and plan everyone's cycles?

Hi to everyone else - I will try and get up to date again with everyone soon. May not be this w/e as we are off camping down the coast - the campsite we stay at is full of old gum trees and we may even see a koala up above. Can't wait and I am now going to be thinking positve this weekend. can't believe AF's arrival is such a big deal!!

Have lovely weekends everyone.
A

Hi Angie sooo good to read you...ooo hey thats where the cookubara sits isnt it you know merry merry king of the bush is he, oo get me a koala if you can i love them sooo cute i will pay shipping
actually i dont normally take BC at all with my cycles so taking it this time is new for me i think it is used for holding because thats what my clinic are doing with me this time....i will move you up big hugs on starting again..

love Aunty

[Angie65]

now I'm going to be singing that little ditty all day in my head! Ah well better than ilky moor bah tat!

Then you have to do the kookaburaa laugh - hu hu hu hu hu hu!

Hope you are down reggin nicely.
