Good Morning All!!

Yes, I'm at work again (on saturday duty once a month) but hey, i'm the only one in. so guess what that means? posting on here!! wohoo! :lol:

becky -hello stranger!! it's xfactor tonight!!!!!!! carolyn - thanks for letting us know it's love songs. aaww! hehe. it'll be great! beck - sorry to hear you're still in limbo land - its horrible when you dont know whats going on. we'll all be thinking of you though and praying that you can start soon! :) not long now till you find out! and yes, the billy and honey story! its so sad! and i'm so cross with billy for agreeing to the adoption! (for our US pals - it's a soap where a couple had their first baby and it turned out the baby girl has downs syndrome. the mum cant love it but the dad can. mum wants to give it up for adoption and has finally talked the dad round! Nooooo!) yes, i might be starting next week but its only a might. either way, just getting things moving is exciting. and you better make sure you do the extra dancing for me and carolyn :wink:

babyblue - a very warm welcome to you. it's fantastic on here and you'll find so much support! any questions, just fire them at us and it's more or less guaranteed someone will have been through the same thing or will have some advice. the best of luck to you! :) (i also know what you mean about friends - my appointment has been moved forward by 3 weeks and i emailed a "close" friend of mine and got a reply back saying "what appointment?" - see what i mean?)

aunty - the list is looking SOOOOOOOOOOOOO great! and yes, it will be busy next week, bring it on!

carolyn - i empathise with you in relation to the whole careers woman and no kids assumption. what a load of $%#**£!! some people are so narrow minded! but xfactor tonight!!! woooohooo!! it's also been pouring in reading so feeling your misery! hehe. but all this rain doesnt matter when we know we have so many BFPs coming uP!! :lol:

bec - the best of luck with tuesday. we'll all be thinking of you honey!! you did make me giggle when i thought of you bouncing round the room. still going, and i will do this! 8) also, hope your mum's ok!!

angie - i know what you mean about not knowing what to do about colouring! i decided to just have a cut last night (i usually buy the colour as my sister-in-law is a hairdresser and i forgot to buy it plus i'm a bit skint this month as DH has been off sick, blah, blah). but i do wonder how it will affect us whilst treatment. think i'll add that one to my list of questions. i love your plan for dinner! it's hilarious! :lol: what a good idea! :wink:

Jackie - welcome and so sorry to hear about your puppy! hope he's much better!! i also think you were wise not to give up caffeine AND smoking! to cut the smoking is far more important so dont be too hard on yourself about the coffee! The best of best of luck to you!! :D

right, think thats it from me (so sorry about the long post again but i cant help it! my fingers just keep typing and typing and i tell them to stop but they wont listen! so not my fault! hehe :D )

take care everyone

Morning!
Carolyn- i always have to have the month of an antagonist cycle. my doc is taking it conservative with me, to give my ovaries and levels a chance to get back to "normal" I did wonder if it was bad to get right into the next cycle. my SIL is also going thru ivf for her 2nd child, we are about 2 weeks off from each others cycle. a bit weird at times. but all in all it is good to have a family memeber going thru it all at the same time. we both got BFN last cycle so hopefully this one will be BFP for all :)

Angie- you could also try grape juice in a wine glass ??? hehehe.
i think the waer in a beer bottle is great.? have a great dinner tonight!

Jackie- welcome back! i hope your puppy is doing better, we had an 11 year old dog and he will always be the puppy, sadly we passed away in august. he was diabetic, blind, had intestinal disease and all, the poor thing, we did every thing we could for him, he was the BEST.
we ended up adopting a dog a month ago. and he is awesome. how quickly they become a family member... and bed hog!!!!!
when are youbeginning your next round. might also be my cylce buddy!

Aunty- my hairdresser too said coloring is totally fine when pregnant. like you said your hair cn be a bit weaker, but it is ok!

Becky-
hope you had a blast shopping! and good luck winning on the dress debate.. yeah right! hehehe.
going to visit my mom today in the hospital. and going out with friends for dinner and bowling. yup you hear right bowling.. how to feel like a kid again!!!

Hey Shantala-
what is shaking, thanks so much for the well wishes for my mom. when she was going in for the knee replacement surgery yesterday I told her to "break a leg" hehehe.
anything good going on for you after work today?
isn't it weird how quickly you end up writing long ones on this post!!!!

love to all!!!!

Good Morning All,

This board has exploded the last time I was on here! That's great :D ! I have to catch up from page 17 and on. Just wanted to say a quick hello for now as I am busy at work, yeah this freakin' early and all I want is a giant cup of coffee but I'm committed to staying of this stuff until I hit my goal weight.

Just did my hysteroscopy, finally. Everything looks great in there and it another load off my mind. But hey, somebody should have told me about the cramping and numbing medicine that part sucked.

Big Welcome to everyone new to the thread and I will be back later once I read our book of pages 17 and on......

Hi Ladies,

Welcome to Lori, Ssalgado, n Babyblue. So glad to have you here. This thread has been amazing. You will get so much support here.... n fun too :D :D

Girls, since we are talking about hair coloring......, Would please check for me if hair straightening (i dont' know what it is in English) also save? Im planning to do it on December. I can't live without it. I think if i will start BC on January, so December still save for hair straightening

Becky, hows the diet things? I don't have any improvement since last week :cry: Im trying to do the best next week. Yesterday, AF arrived. The one after BFN AF. But it was no too much also today, is it common? what about yours?

Hope everybody have great weekend . Talk to you later. GBU

Luv, Jemma

Hope you don't mind but thought I would come back and join you all as in a bit of limbo at the moment as waiting to find out when I can start again. Hoping that I can start in Jan (fingers crossed). Have my follow up appt on the 22nd Nov which is a good start as atleast we will start to find out what went well and what didn't.

Went back to work yesterday which was daunting in itself and still having AF (i think) from the m/c so not sure whether to count this as AF or not, been going on for a week now. :?

Aunty your list looks fabulous as usual. Hope your don't mind me gate crashing in!! I have been trying to keep up with everyone but this thread goes at a speed of knots if you miss a few days!

love nimble xx

Shantala- yeah when i hit send i noticed you had already jumped on.. tooo funny, when I wrote earlier it was actually 5:30 am a bit of a morning bird today, enjoying my cup of coffee (decaf of course) and catching up on the thread. now it is 11am, getting ready to visit my mom.

Kiesha- nice to meet you! I had that test too, not so much fun huh. how are you doing now? hope better! scary how big this thread is getting. in a good way.

Jemina- i'd check with the doc on the straightening, just to be on the safe side, since they use some hard chemicals... just keep thinking. all worth it in the end holding your healthy babycakes!

Nimble- Hi, sorry to hear about your loss. :( it will be good to have you here on the thread. Good Luck on the 22nd. I always feel so much better talking to the doc and having something other than limbo. I do so much better with dates and timelines and all. as I am sure you can totally understand! but welcome to the thread!

have a great day to all!!

Hiya Ladies,

Just a quickie to let u know how the dress hunting went:

I walked the whole of Lisburn (Northern Ireland - not the other one lol) and then down to Belfast, i must have trudged into every Bridal shop u can think of - i dread it when she gets married lol. But we did agree on the one fab dress. I will explain as est as i can ok:

Its black, but with wee sparkilie (I had my way ll) on the boobies & boned, then it puckers in on the belly (very flattering) & has a cream and black flower on it, the skirt then opens at the side & has cream on the inside which breaks up the black look. I dont think ive given it as much justice as it needs cos it is really stunning on her - but theres a problem - they only had a size 12, she is a size 12/14 - it was slightly too small :cry: :cry: :cry: we tried every which way to get the zip done up in the shop, but when we finally did (After fits of laffing) she couldnt breath - i did say she wud be ok for one evening - but she opted against it LOL. So now we are looking around for the same dress elsewhere. But at least we know what she likes, and its wot i like too lol - oh but the only other thing i didnt like about it - it was £185 :shock:

(But she did look like a princess in it lol)

Got to dash - DH s just thru the door an will be looking his tea ...

Read u later ladies

Becky Xxxxx
