Stephjim - congrats on the iui, fingers crossed that this is the one and you won't need to move on to ivf. Image

Becky - so glad the jobs improving. You sound so much happier than Monday. Will hold back on the AF dance til Feb for you.

Well I had my scan this morning and there really is a baby in there woohoo! It's just like nims - 2 arms, 2 legs and 1 head :lol:
I decided not to have the nuchal screen but she did say at the end that she could see no problems and everything looked fine so that was reassuring.
They changed my dates a little too -
I think I'm 12w1d, due 5th Aug
the midwife says 12w4d, due 2nd Aug
and the sonographer says 12w4d, due 4th Aug
How do they figure that out? :?
Oh, well, it'll arrive when its ready anyway

I didn't drink the 1.5litres they said, only had about half that and was worried it wouldn't be enough. She started the scan then said my bladder was too full so she couldn't get a good picture. I had to go and HALF empty it! Anyone ever tried that? When you're that full how the hell do you a) stop once you've started and b) decide what is HALF empty? Such fun!
I did manage to play the sytem a bit - kept my staff badge on and got the piccies for free (all 5 of them!) They normally charge £2.50 each and only print 1 or 2. There's not many perks working for the NHS, you have to take advantage when you can :lol:

Mia, I think we should wear something else. I'm a little bloated. So about that job... what's meant to be is meant to be. Right? Enjoy the relaxing time that you have. Things are going to change quickly when you are preggers.

Su, excellent report. You must be sooooooooooooooooo excited! Yeah! So happy for you!

Got my phone call and I'll be stimming tonight. Still nervous about doing this AGAIN!!!!! Please oh, please.

How is everyone????? chriss

chriss -- thanks for your good luck wishes for tomorrow!! appreciate it - i really do.....oddly enough, i have this very strange "calmness" about me...

Image

mia.....my darling mathematician!!! (or NOT)......oh and don't get after jen1 about the whole crackwhore thing --- is my fault, i started it...... if i offended - i apologize......if it makes ya feel any better - i've referred to myself as a "backseat baby" my entire life --- Image.....you know - as in "conceived in the backseat of a car" -- yeah, my darling mother was 16!!!!! (and here i thought i'd be miss fertile mertile cuz she was!!!) on another note --- why don't you call that job you interviewed with????? nothing wrong w/ calling to follow up!! is what i've always done.....or maybe it just wasn't meant to be before ya get your BFP!!! :wink:

stephjim --- i'm sure they're all hookin' up as we speak!!! Image

su --- SO glad baby is with only one head!!! Image ha, ha, ha!!! congratulations momma -- it's super-duper official now!!! :wink:

Well ladies....as i said to chriss, today is very strange in that i'm feeling very calm...........NOW, tomorrow at this time while i'm waiting for yet another round of my damn blood tests may be a different story!!! So tonight me and dh are going to hypnotist that is coming to town for "quit smoking" (dh) and "lose weight" -- both of us.....were supposed to go last week, but got dates mixed up -- woops!!! so that should be interesting!!!

ICSI, guess we were posting at the same time. So yup, got the call. Tonight I try something new. i am using the follistim pen for the first time. Other cycles I used Bravelle and had to mix powders. This time it is pre mixed and it's in a pen. Something new. Also... get this... the pharmacy is going to deliver the meds to my house tonight. Did ya ever hear of that??? I'm glad that I don't have to make the hour and 1/2 trip after work today. So glad that you feel calm! That is awesome. Good sign my dear.

chriss --- for both of my cycles, all of my meds were delivered to my door!! was awesome....pretty convenient eh??? so are you historically a "good follie" producer??? cuz i guess i'd say that i'm not so much.... round 1, got 5 -- round 2, got 7......and round 2 he upped all my follie growth meds.....i've not done the follitism pen thing, but have done gonal-f and it is EASY-PEASY!!!! and then after transfer, are you doing any kind of blood thinner??? i'm still on daily lovenox injections.....oh and baby aspirin 2x/day.....

rachel ---- sniffing laundry detergent???!!!! gotta say i'd be thinkin' "crazy *****" if i saw something like that!!! ha, ha, ha, am still getting a good laugh!!! Image "hi i'm rachel and i'm addicted to the smell of laundry detergent" - ha, ha, ha, ha!!! seriously though --- yeah on getting to start mat leave!! woo-hoo!!! any plans????

Su - thats great news on your scan - although i'm confused on your dates too.....if you're 12wks 4d which sounds right as you got your BFP before me then you must be due around 2nd Aug - right?? How cool that we are our little ones days apart! :lol: :lol:

Oh, and I've just updated the list with my new due date and next scan date - see this time round you're having yours first!!

Chriss - good luck with starting stimming tonight - its getting exciting as everyone starts their tmt.

ICSI - one cuppa of coffee won't hurt - sometimes it worse to go cold turkey than cut down - i'll dig out what they say about how much is the recommended dose of caffine you should have a day.
So you're getting the next set of beta levels tomorrow - fingers crossed babe - it will be fine.

Steph - you tell them girl where to stick their extra hours - boy i hate it when employers take the piss!! Any sign of the witch yet ??

Stephjim - whoahey congratulations momma - roll on 7th Feb - waiting to see another BFP!! :lol:

Rachel - thats good news about the mat - means more time afterwards. uUUmm think your hubby needs to watch you a little more carefully!!

Jen - not long now ....still can't believe how quickly this has come around again for you - i everything crossed that this time is your time Image

Becky - glad to hear you sounding a little brighter today - see - first days are always nasty - hey but think, you wont be there for too long :wink: :wink:

Mia - boy those pens sound complicated

Hope are we dancin for you hun - any sign for you too?? perhaps this will frighened her to arrive for you and steph Image

Image from me tonight - had an absolutely ***** of a day - roll on june where they can stick there freckin job!!

nite girls xx

Chriss: I couldn't make it out at first either haha! mat: maternity leave!! Sun: Sunday!! :lol: Guess you and me ain't there yet! Aren't you stoked to be able to to start sticking yourself tonight?? Yeah, and no bikini for me either.
Nimble: no the pens aren't complicated.. I just slowww...
Lara: Yeah, pg ppl are CRAZY :shock: :lol:
ICSI: Glad you are calm, for now. I know tomrrow you will be your normal baskety case self :lol: And it is tough to offend me :) I think the same thing about crackwhores all the time, and think about all my friends who wouldn't be here... (yup I just called my friends' momma crack whores!) Ohhh you are a backseat baby... that explains ALOT!
Squeezan: Thrilled you got to see your baby :) Three months, so I gues syou aren't showing yet??
Stephjim: The number sounds good, and you will be testing on my anniversary!!

Well, I haven't called the school where I applied b/c I had lunch with a lady I do consulting for. She runs a tutoring/consulting business and she asked me to take over the business :shock: She is retiring, wants to sell and would be willing to help me out :shock: YIKES!! So of course I have not decided, I know she lives a very cushy life but need to check how much $$ she is really making a year. I am still pretty shocked, sooo I decided not to push the scholl while I figure out if this is a route I want to go down...I mean if I don't ever have kids I don't mind working a lot. But if I have kids, I don't know if I want to run my own business! Owell, I am gonna do some research and then meet with her next week.

My anniversary will fall on my 2ww :evil: No sex, plus lots of stress (no fair!) I am sure I will POAS that day to see if anything shows up. :wink:

Ok girls, on to do some research. Have a fab day.

Hi gals, it's me with another question... what else is new? Ok, so the pharmacy peoples are going to deliver my meds to my house, I'm still surprised about that whole deal. ANyway, my question is... do I tip the delivery person? Is it like a pizza delivery??? DOn't laugh at me. I need to know. ANd... if so... how much. ANd while we are on the subject of tipping, how much do you guyz tip for a haircut? Highlights? Etc??? FIll me in asap before the drug dealer gets here. Thanx! I'll be back later, just got home and have to put my PJ's on.-chriss
