December-January Cycle Buddy's Our New beginnings

[AuntyPebbles]

Well Lady's my hubby has called twice today see how im doing and send some love to our babies of course i cried both times....told him i dont feel pregnant hes so sweet he offered to bring home something to give me some symptoms ...LOL as he works in an ICU trauma unit im not too sure where what he offered has been all day (body wise) so declined his offer

oh the emotions of an hormonal woman....love you all Aunty

[PMApsy]

Ange,

your story really touched me. You've been REALLY brave through all this sweetheart, I admire you for sailing through this the way you did! I'm glad that your husband was there for you and this brought you even closer. I'll be praying with all my strength for your embies to stick to their mommy and give you the greatest gift in the world... you're NOT too old to have babies sweetheart! And you'll show them! *HUGS*

Take care, and get some rest after all the emotions of the day. Lots of love,

Sophie

[AuntyPebbles]

Oh Ange how amazing i can imagine the rollercoaster of emotions you went through and im so happy you got two little ones back home that is a very inspiring ...i wish you all the luck in the world and a smooth TWW thinking of you

sending hugs...love Aunty

Well, yet another update for me ladies...

Things definitely don't look good. I've upgraded my panty liners to pads now, towards 1pm. Towards 4:30pm I found bigger spotting, still dark brown, but then when I wiped... it was fiery red. And I had some definite cramping in the afternoon that was uncomfortable. Definitely losing at least one baby at this point. It even feels silly to put the progesterone in, but I'll do it. It's only two more doses till the test anyway.

So that's it ladies, looks like my first time will be a BFN. All I hope at this point is that I cried the most of it now and will only get better from now on. I'm still at work and I'll call my husband to tell him the news... I hope we'll find a nice movie to rent tonight so I can take my mind off this. I'll just have to find a couple of projects that really excite me and keep me busy and I'll be just fine. It will be great to be able to write again now that my mind will be away from the IVF ride. And it looks like I have a couple of pounds to lose now (darn hormones) so I'll work on that, too. If I look on the bright side, it seems that I won't have to wait too much for AF... one down, another one to go and I'll be allowed to do a natural FET (at least that's what the nurse suggested the next step for us would be).

I'll tell you ladies about the results as soon as I get them. I press you all against my heart and wish you a lovely evening!

Sophie

Sophie im so sorry i know how hard this is sending you hugs

love Aunty

Hi girls:

Sophie: responded on your thread. You are in my thoughts and prayers. {{{hugs}}}

Ange: wow... what a story! You truly have some fighters there. I am very happy for you that it all worked out (that you had embryos to transfer... i know that the 7 chromosomally abnl was disappointing). btw... my RE told me that often the PGD process causes a delay in embryo development... so that little one must have just been taking a siesta!! Relax and enjoy princess status!

Aunty: how the h*ll ya doing???? Think about you lots.

TC: i agree... that is a fab article she wrote... didn't finish the whole thing, but saved the link. btw... hoping abby continues to improve.

Ahhh, went on a self-indulgent shopping spree. Trying to fill that emptiness that shopping can never fill (but isn't it fun as h*ll to try? ) Not only did i get a bunch of REALLY high heels that i could never wear when preg... but i also bough twinkies . (i have had a closet lust for them, but haven't indulged for years ). There are 10 in the box... yep, i expect they will be gone by tomorrow night!!!

btw: My previous motto was "hope for the best and prepare for the worst". Kind of feeling like i am getting better at doing that. Found a NEW motto today that i love. Feels like it is a perfect motto for me in this struggle, and reminds me i have more strength than i sometimes give myself credit for... it inspires me to dig deeper... put it on my signature as my reminder to myself... hoping someone else also finds it helpful.

ciao!

Good Evening/Morning/Aftennon Ladies (i think that covers u all lol) ....

Shantala: Im sorry u had a snotty email, and im sorry that they made u feel that u offended them - i have been a member of 3 different sites since August and every site (appart from this one) has either snubbed me for something i may have said, or i was being snubbed for having children , or for being steralized, it being my own fault etc - one person (Male according to his email) even made me cry (sob actually) with his comments to me - if there was a petition going arond for those ladies in the U.S whose insurance doesnt cover treatment - then i would happily advertise it on this site - but some sites do not allow it. This is the ONLY site i have been into that doesnt care weather i have children, or weather i have been steralized or weather im blue with pink spots - they accept me for being me - (mind u i have had the odd comment for being Welsh, but i accept that wherever i go lol).
Im certinatley NOT offended at that posting, i think its a great idea -i would think it was a great idea if a member from the U.S had posted it for all the ladies in the U.S to sign - wotever or whoever it is aimed at - please dont take offence at ONE email u were sent. Us ladies all go thru the same thing, the same fears the same highs the same lows at some point during our treatment, im glad i can come here to vent, laff and sometimes cry - All us ladies here appreciate what u are trying to acheive - i take my hat off to u, u are a young lady at the age of 21 - hold ur head up and u stand up for urself hun - good on u .... xxxxx

PMA: I dont know what to say hun - saying sorry doesnt sound enough, to say that i know what u are going thru - then yes i can say that, and for that im sending u hugs <<<<hugzzzzz>>>> every lady here who has gone thru what u are going thru right now feels for u - i know it doesnt help when i say 'i know how ur feeling right now' and no matter how much u will never forget, ur pain will ease given time. When people told me this on my last BFN i didnt beleive them, i tht i would greive forever, but im here and im standing and im gratefull for that. Please give urself time out, time for u and DH - go singing in the shower - or out of it if u feel like, go and do thiings that u couldnt while u was having treatment - then come back with ur head held high and give it another shot. I wish u well, u are a lovely, funny, thoughtful lady, keep chasing ur dreams hun Xxxxx

Ange: Ur post made me cry, one with sadness, then joy once i got to the end - i cant imagine what u and DH was going thru during the defreezing process - im so glad it turned out ok for u - heres to the 2WW - Good Luck Xxxx

TC/Christine: My lovely friend, i read ur post saying that u was out with ur friend having a few beers - are u sure u wernt still slightly intoxicated when u wrote it - whats CHOO CHOOOOO all about (hahahaha) (yes i know train - but it sounded good lol) u are so funny lol i dont know how Tom puts up with u ;o) I too have a friend who has been trying forever for a baby, but has only just decided to do summit about it - she took Clomid (excuse me ladies if ive spelt it wrong) for 4 mths = no joy, so yesterday she came out of hosp after having a lap (im not going to try and spell the full version lol) and a dye etc - she was convinced that they were going to tell her that she couldnt conceive naturally, and that if IVF was her only option there was no way she was going down that route - untill i persuaded her that its not really as bad as it sounds, and that she would meet some fab friends and it maybe her her only hope left - but lo and behold when she came around the DR told her - nothing wrong a wee tiny top of a thumbnail endo (which was removed) she cried with joy and had to keep asking if they had the right notes lol - so she is one happy chappy - and ive told her to go at it like a dog on heat cos now is her best chance after the dye etc lol .... Anyway, ive babbled on enough about her - Christine: I hope Abby is ok after her scare (kids never do realise the worry they cause and carry on as normal - happy days lol), and that u didnt have too much of a hangover lol xxx

Sassy: Wooooo Hooo to a shopping trip - i do so love those lol, mind u me and high heels dont go - i can just about manage a 3" heel and thats my lot. Could do with more mind seeing im only 5ft 3" and a fart lol. Glad to hear ur doing well and ur mind is being occupied with other things, altho im sure ur bank manager wont be best impressed lol xx

Aunty:Hellooooo, hows u? Ur posts here are getting slimmer (wish i could say the same for me lol) i hope ur keeping up ur PMA young lady!! You've not long to go now - i have everything crossed for u, keep up that PMA ... Sending u hugzzzz Xxxx

Ems:Hey hunnie, hows the BFB going - i say BFB cos its a Big Fat Belly u will be having soon - did u say ur first scan is in March - when in March - im sure its on the list, but to be honest i scroll thru that to get to the messages soz ladies - i notice im at the top tho - like a wee fairy on a christmas tree (more like a big one lol) Hope all is well Ems Xxx

Vickie: Hey lovely lady, long time no hear from I hope u are well, just want u to know that im thinking about u. xx

I know ive missed loads of u, and im sorry for that, please know that i think of u everyday.

Aunty: Do u remember Ange on the Sept thread who got a BFP (the workaholic lol) do u know how she is doing these days???

Well thats me for now ladies - slightly knackered, and slightly intoxicated (i know most of u are jealous lol) and signing out .....

Becky Xxxx

[AuntyPebbles]

Hey Becky.... you know no i havent, i have heard from Islacraig she's almost 25 weeks now...and corinna shes starting again soon.and Louise shes doing well and her baby...i think about lots of them all the time...

how about you?....i email them but not heard back

love Aunty

[Welshgirl38]

Hey Aunty:

I aint heard nothing from no one! The only one i get email from is u lol - i have looked for them on the pregnancy after treatment postings, but to no avail Its a shame really, i would have liked to hear how they are doing .... I remember Ang used to have loadssss of sickness and had to wear a travel sickness bracelt - funny the things u recall isnt it lol.

ANG - if ur out there - Aunty and I are thinking about u lol

Im glad i stayed and kept in touch

Becky Xxx

[Angie65]

Hi Ladies - just dropping by to see how you are all doing.

Ange - all the very best - wow what an emotional experience your transfer was - even though it wasn't what you expected I truly hope it achieves the same outcome - thinking of you.

Sophie - feel for you on the whole spotting, is it AF or isn't it? Had the same thing on my FET cycle - lots of spotting which the clinic said is quick normal - but it is agonising. Whatever you outcome you will be strong and you have a good attitude and coping mechnanism. Good luck.

Aunty and all the other 2 ww'ers - have just read your 2ww thread and I am shaking my head - you are naughty naughty - there are NO symptons - they are all drug induced! It's funny to read it as someone not on 2ww as I can read it rationally - but just remind me of this in a couple of weeks when I am on 2ww as I will be exactly the same! Anyway wishing you all the luck in the world - I feel for you.

morning ladies

sophie - the best of luck for today!! please let us know how you get on!! hugs!!

ange - your story made me cry!! you are such a strong lady!! what a rollercoaster!! just a question though...you say you have 2 embies snuggling in, right? one is the FET one...but which one is the other one?? is it the one that was normal but maybe stopped growing?? oohhh, i'm so excited!! you obviously have some little fighters there!!!

fed - good luck with your beta today!!! (do you have your beta today? on u sunday?) let us know what the numbers are!

angie - how are the stimms going??

welsh - thanks honey for your long post!! i must admit i have found other sites but they are by far not as friendly i find!! the lady emailed me back saying she's really sorry if she came across as offended and that she didnt mean it like that....so i replied saying that i was annoyed at her messagebut that its a problem over email as things can come across wrong...so its all sorted now. i still cant believe how they treated you though! its a real disgrace!!

sassy - how you doing?? loving your shopping spree and your new motto!! you made me laugh about the shopping spree and trying to fill that empty gap (and it never does!)!! sooo know what you mean!!

cook - good to read you hunny!! how you doing??

aunty - how you holding up?? from what i can gather are you going to give in to those evil pee sticks?? tut tut!!

hi to everyone else!!
