aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww shucks sweeties

U R the babes because here I can say what I feel, and feel what I need to feel by sharing with you. Without you all I would be so isolated in this process as I am totally outside the "allowed" system in Germany..if I were German or had been here longer maybe I could find some kind of fellowship - but quite honestly who could beat you lot ?

I have given such a tiny % of what I have received by all of you, and believe me when I look back at my story and get

about what/if etc I think hey - this venue has given me a chance to help other and stop it from happening..

Brackets again

Debbie hi! you'll decide the right thing - just frustrated for U guys that follow-ups take so long -

waiting is just grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Love and kisses and anti-wrinklecream to all of us

BigJ - I've been wondering about my one wrinke which is a frown line between my eyes (me frown? surely not....). But Botox + babies/IVF = a no no so I'll have to wait until the triplets are born HAHAHAHAHA - we're making big jokes about it, just in case...

Triplets, what a thought

Oh D, the thought of triplets

You do have to laugh or you'll go potty

I keep getting the giggles when I am walking the dogs at the thought of me with babies strapped to my front and back taking off at a pace through the forest - dh has said we'll get a sled for Nushi to pull

You know with us expressive A1 types they don't count as wrinkles OK

I was looking at my face when I was at the hairdresser and when I laughed I had lines all over the place...I decided they are "life lines"

You'd have a lot of belly wrinkes if you have triplets hahahahahahahaha

Love and kisses bigJ

Hi Girls

Sorry I've not been around much - as BigJ suggested I kinda went to ground for the last part of the 2ww. But I have been thinking of you all.

Debra - so happy for you, how are things going? I have very +ive feelings about your treatment. Sending you back all the PMA you sent me for my 2ww.

BigJ - not long now until you go to sunny Barcelona. Good luck & I know you'll enjoy the city. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it

Well, I felt very +ive for the first week or so of the 2ww & then a sort of lost confidence. Especially on Friday night when I had some bleeding, so I took to my bed for Saturday morning & DH brought me cups of tea & breakfast & the papers etc. Poor old DH even had to go out to buy the HPT kit - he came back with 3 just to be on the safe side!! I'm such a coward I just couldn't handle getting bad news over the phone!

The bleeding stopped but I still felt very low & was sure we had failed again.

So, at 6am on Sunday morning I couldn't wait any longer (was dying for a pee!) and I did the evil HPT, went down & fed the cats, came back up and couldn't believe my eyes - there was a second (very) pink line - it was positive

After that I ran back to the bedroom, turned on all the lights & waved the pee stick under DH's nose & couldn't stop giggling.

I did another HPT this morning - still +ive and then went for a blood test.

I've waited very (im)patiently all day for the results & finally got them at 5pm - my HCG level is 782 which, according to the clinic may well mean twins

I think I need to lie down now (DH certainly does!!)

Jude

PS. apologies for any typos or dribble marks on this posting as one of the cats has been sitting on my lap as I typed

Fab news Jude - keep it up girls.

JudeM · Post by **JudeM** » Mon Apr 11, 2005 8:18 pm

Thanks everyone.

DH & I are cautiously over the moon

Debra - turns out we had 3 embies put back (wasn't paying attention properly as I thought it was only 2). Like you it was 2 good ones & 1 not quite so good. Looks like there's a pattern developing here!!!

We're trying not to get too afar ahead of ourselves as last time our positive turned negative within a couple of weeks but its very difficult not to get excited.

We have our first scan in a couple of weeks so we'll know how many then.

It goes to show - we oldies can still do it

Debra - you're next! and you Big J - let's get those numbers rising on the over 40s pg thread.

If its ok with everyone, I still want to hang out here & keep up to date with your news.

Love

Jude

DebraP · Post by **DebraP** » Mon Apr 11, 2005 8:28 pm

Jude....please stay here a while and tell us all about it

I totally understand about being torn between elation and caution. Once burned, twice shy here too but so hard not to whoooooooop with delight!!

ooooh....3 for you as well! I wonder how you'll do??

I'm doing OK. Today, as EC + 6, was implantation day??. Of course I imagined tiny twinges as I taught.....I tried to stay still-ish during the day but I'm a very active trainer (otherwise post-lunch courses are tooooo dull) and had a new client group start today so had to be vaguely interesting! I had to lift my toddler a few times too and was doing all this on 2.5hrs of sleep. Last night was a shocker and doesn't help me feel esp. pos about the implantion chances. Zita's urging to get lots of rest sounds like a good idea to me so I'm off to bed at the ungodly hour of 2230. I seem to swing from up to down on a daily basis - oh joy, only 9 days to go.

Jude.......................I'm so pleased for you and DH!
Debra.
