Hello everyone.





Jen, I am keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you and cannot wait to hear about your BFP!!!

Mia, just 3 more days!!! Yay!!!!

To everyone else, hello and I am doing a lot better than last week. I go for my mock transfer tomorrow to make sure my uterus is up for the task. The downer of the day is my DH did not even try to quit smoking today!!!. Now I get it, it is an addiction because guess what I smoked too before we started this fertility stuff. But I quit. He does not even try and if he does the patch stays on for like 4 hours he gets to work one of his friends says lets go down stairs and have a ciggie and either he smokes with it on or he takes it off and he wonders why he comes home with a headache. He is wheezing all the time he won't go to the doc about it. I don't know what else to do. I do know that if he continues we will absolutely HAVE to do ICSI because all the little guys will be running into each other when he gives his sample and they are going to have pick through them to get good ones. I am sorry if I sound hostile about my DH. I love him with all my heart but he is constantly hacking up a lung and we are going way into debt to be parents and he acts like he could care less either way. So in the long run I could be a widow at the age of 50 something with no child to show for it if he does not stop. The funny thing is his stupid urologist told him that the smoking did not do this to him. The fertility doc told him he needed to stop now. I am a nurse and have seen many studies where they show that smoking does screw up your sperm. But guess who he believes. Not me the nurse, his wife. Not the FERTILITY doc. No why would you believe him. He chooses to believe the urologist. I just needed to vent. There are some other little things going on too and I am just on edge, I guess. Again, don't get me wrong. I am so in love with my husband. I guess if I wasn't I would not care so much.

I am sorry for being such a downer today. I am just getting so fed up with it all and I don't know what to do anymore and i am not sitting here balling because of it all.




Anyone else seen that movie? I love it!!!!

So I will end on a happier note. Thanks for listening to me and I can't wait to discuss nursery colors with everyone at the beginning of April!!!

Jen1d - I left you a message on your other thread. Thinking of you.... so sorry, sweetie.

Jen Babes - So good to have you back!

Becks - congrats on the 2nd interview!! Great news.

Sorry, that's as far as I got, I really wanted to check in for our sweetie Jen -

I have to get going, we're going to visit my DSSs today to celebrate my DH's birthday with them, since we didn't have them for the weekend. The concert was actually fantastic, tho... I was surprised.

Anyway, it's a 3.5 hr drive one way, so I have to get going. Probably won't be back on tonight... but will try to catch up tomorrow.

Jen,
thinking of you. Wish I could make it all better. We love you. We understand the difficulty of IVF and we feel for you. We are here. Please lean on us. -chriss

Steph - how are your little ones snuggling in? Not sure how it works in IUI, but what day do they fertilise, and when do they implant?
Your mum is so sweet - bless her. Its lively of her to remember that you should avouid soft cheeses. Do you have to go to hell all week?

yup...gotta go to work all week...except Weds. My day off but I have an interview!

As far as the "process" you ovulate and your egg is good for about 12-24 hrs. If it isn't fertalized in that time then it disintegrates and you go thru the rest of your cycle. That is why timing of the iui is sooooo important. So when the egg fertalizes like MINE did, it then takes bout 3 days to make its way thru the tubes all the while dividing and doing its thing. When it gets to the uterus they say implantation occurs anywhere from days 5-12. Don't ask what happens between that 3rd day and implantation??? Maybe it just rolls around in there like a beach ball?? I have no idea. So right now my embies are getting ready to snuggle in...maybe that is the twinges I'm feeling??? At least that is wut I'm hoping!!! I poas today though and my trigger is almost out of my system!!! WOO

pequele my bud good to see you full of Pma and 10 days to go until testing x x x good luck sweetie x x as for the turtle outfits...they sound so cute x x

Jen! I was just thinking about you last night!!! I was thinking wonder where she is....I haven't had to make sure I keep you and JenD straight for awhile...pay back babe...now you have to keep 2 Stephs straight haha.

I am happy to hear you are back on the wagon I don't know a whole lot about ivf and embie stages but my guess is if they weren't ok to freeze the doc wouldn't have bothered! Now is this treatment happening in UK or Spain? How long do you wear the patches for? Build that lining up to give them a nice plush place to snuggle in!!!

Don't feel bad if you can't read through the 498370 pages Many were chit chats about tv shows, then another handful were us bitching that the site was broken. Then there was Becky and her boken bum. Oh there are some pics of Shantala's nursery, Su doing crazy stuff like moving bookcases in the rain, Mia talkin bout her 5'10 skinny arse, and then there is Hope- she's a spy...don't look at the bright light!

Welcome back!!!

stephjim --- i can relate w/ the whole smoking issue.....i was a smoker prior to IVF....i quit cold turkey - w/ dh continuing to smoke away!! so i know how hard it can be -- been there......the only difference is that my dh is 54 and been smoking (pretty much) his whole life and if there is one thing i "get" is that a smoker is NOT going to quit for ANY reason other than wanting to him/herself.....you "gotta wanna" and if you don't --- you may as well forget about it......period.......i could nag my dh til the day he dies and until HE's ready -- it will be a never ending battle.....one that i quite frankly have chosen to NOT fight.......he "knows" its his swimmers not doin' their thing --- and yes, we have had ICSI each time (which by the way has only made him cockier as we've attained 100% fertilization both times -- go figure!!!) anyway.....just thought i'd share....i know there's not a lot of others in the "smoking" boat.....has become such a NON-PC thing to do!!! honestly, i swore i would head to the first gas station to buy a pack of smokes if we got bfn on round 1 ---- but i didn't.......and i'm so glad.........

jen1 -- my heart aches for you
sending you big

steph -- sounds like you had a "fun" (or NOT) drive home last night in the nasty weather!!! we had crap here too and were also driving in it -- YUCK!!! must say you sound pretty darn good w/ the PMA!!! KEEP IT UP GIRL!!!

beck --- i've never understood the "baby dust" thing --- but as everybody else has said -- HEY, IF IT WORKS!!! oh and i think if offered, you should take job closer to home even if reduced pay....... it will be SO worth it!!! when will you know/hear something?? (about job)

hello to all my other lovelies out there.....you sure have been keeping busy!!! atleast nobody broke the board over the weekend - ha, ha, ha!!
well, i've FINALLY called RE's office and made our "what next" appt w/ doc.....i like to have dh w/ me as i don't think he "gets it" unless he hears direct from doc's mouth.....probably silly, but if he's not with me and doc says "YES, we have good chance to try again" (or not) --- if i were to simply tell dh about it, is just not the same impact as hearing from doc himself..........ya know??

sorry to all i missed......hope, chriss, nims, su, shantala, mia, angel, rachel, and EVERYBODY ELSE!!!!! i've been reading faithfully, but still not back to my "old" self.....as you can probably all tell.....some days are better than others.......one foot in front of the other - ya know??

[stephjim]

Jen1 I am sooo sorry to hear your news. But make sure you go for you blood work because the pee tests are not always conclusive. The blood test is. You are in my prayers and I hope that the adoption process goes off with flying colors.

[Angel505]

Jend:



This IF process is so unfair and there is no reason for anything. I'm still praying for you - I do so hope with all my heart that the blood test proves your HPT wrong.

Steph more turtle outfits will you be doing your nursery with trutles for the boarder

Rachel OF COURSE!!!! I have seen a few that I like. I started looking the last time I got my bfp...this time at least I can actually get to the point where I will need to set up the nursery Just a few more days til my bfp right

Steph

[beachbaby]

jen1d, I am so sorry, i hope the bloods come back and prove the hpt wrong.

jenbabes, glad to see you back, can understand needing the time away, it gets too much sometimes with all the waiting. Re the FET, i find them so much easier and less stressful, on my last go i just felt so calm and did not let anything get me down. Your embies sound fine and i've got everything crossed that they thaw perfectly, and look on the bright side last time implantation happened so your embies are good we just need to convince them to hang around. Waiting for blood results is a nightmare took my immune ones about 4 weeks to come through. Fingers crossed for you.

Becky, If the money is not greatly less, i would opt for the job closer to home, as rachel says take into account petrol saving per week. The extra time at home has got to be a bonus.

Hi to everyone i've missed got waylaid with jobs, got to catch the post so will try to get back on later.

As for me all going ok, Have midwife appointment on valentines day, bump starting to look more pregnant than fat now. For whoever asked, how good am i, I have not bought anything yet!!! We are waiting till after the 20 week scan then i'm allowed to go crazy. Just about finished my shopping list so it will be easy once DH lets me spend.

catch up soon got to dash
