Good Evening Girlie's.... Glad to see we are all still on top of things, and still feeling in the +++++++ve mood. Nikola sorry to hear about your sickness, but as I think you are having twins this maybe why you are so sick (good sign though).They say it will improve. I bet you £10.00 it's twins. Val sorry to make you cry.....but we are still holding in there!!! Not sure about having the scan on the 16th as we now know what we have and were it is at the moment, and not sure if I want them to tell me any news Good or Bad the day before we fly out to FL. I have a scan booked for the 3rd Nov when we get back so I think I will wait untill then. But I will log on the 16th before we fly to hear your news. Congratulations to Dagny good news well done girl!!!! see what ++++vibes can do. I think we need to catch up on whos left to do what and were everyone is in the stages, as I getting lost in all the threads. Still feeling postive...and resting never knew there is so much crap on daytime telly........keep watching the baby programs but it makes me cry...so turned over to watch Des & Mel how sad is that. Still going to have some dinner now I'm starving all that laying around all day I tired. Take care all and remember+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ve's Good luck to all those still on 2ww (BE GOOD)XXXX Wibbs xxxx

hi wibbs & co I can't tell you how much you've made my day today! I emailed my dh straight away - he thinks I'm just a hormonal nutter who has spent the weekend moping about my 'ivf friend'!! He is mightily relieved for you, but now the realisation has kicked in that our scan might reveal two on Friday! I just want to get this wretched scan out of the way - its awful not knowing what is going on!! Excellent news about Dagny too. Lets hope it keeps going for Sue, Lesley and Jackie!! How are you three doing?? I hope you are all being good and keeping away from those vile hpts!!! Roll on Thurs & Fri! love nikola.xx

Hello july ann you naughty girl, you should put those wretched hpts away! I'm going to confiscate them from you. Its been a really topsy turvy week this week, first Wibbs with sad news, then its happier news, then Dagny's good news, then Sues sad news and now naughty Jackie with her possible good news! I don't think my hormones can keep up with it all!!! I'm having my scan at 9am so all will be revealed (hopefully) by lunchtime. I just hope there is something in there! I guess you don't allow yourself to believe it until you've seen something with your own eyes. I think I'm just a bit of a wierdo! When do you start your next tmt? Are you waiting 2AFs or until after Christmas? I know when my tmt didn't work I had to wait four months and it seemed like ages, but in truth it came round quite quickly. I'll be keeping everything crossed for you. Will this be your 4th/5th? Whichever law of averages (and you know I do like quoting the law of averages - makes me sound brainy!) suggests it takes on average 4 or 5 goes, so lets hope this is your go. love nikola.xx

Hi all, Good to see your postings, July ann. And that you sound really postitive for your next tmt! Excellent news, Dagny!!! Are you still in complete shock? Jackie, Sue and Lesley - not long now before your tests! I'm sending +ve thoughts to you all and keeping my fingers and toes crossed! Nikola - how are you? Still feeling sick? Have you tried the travel bands to stop/reduce the nausea? I've bought them and find they are taking the edge off the nausea! Had my 1st scan on Mon - showed 1 baby, 7.8mm with a good heartbeat!! DH and I are over the moon! Have still to continue with the pessaries, heparin injections and concoctions of tablets for a while yet! Also to have monthly blood check to ensure natuarl killer cells aren't misbehaving!! So that's a monthly trip all the way down to Notts! As long as there's a healthy baby at the end of it I'm happy! Di

hi di I wondered where you'd been hiding. I'm glad your scan went ok - mine is on Friday. I'm really nervous! One healthy baby is all we all strive for!! What are these travel bands and where do I get them!!! I feel dreadful. I can't stop running to the loo (although quite often I'm not actually sick), I don't feel like eating anything, I'm finding it difficult to keep water down and I just want to lie in the corner and go to sleep and wake up feeling 'normal' again!! I've tried dry crackers, ginger biscuits, polos and I still feel awful, so I'm willing to give anything a try!! I'm glad you are gettng close monitoring. Its a really wierd time isn't it? I always thought once I got the pg result I'd be relaxed and enjoying being pg! I haven't had a single second (apart from the day I found out - which was amazing!) to actually enjoy it all. I just feel so poorly. I'm sure it will pass, and I wouldn't have it any other way!! You take good care of yourself, going for my afternoon nap! love nikola.xx

Hi Everybody! Enough of the suspense...I got my percy pigs! They are really good, better than I expected, which is surprising considering the hype! Since I am sick all day I haven't been able to pig out on them but I do manage to enjoy a couple of them a day. Nikola, I let you know I got them on your "underwired bras" thread. Thank you!! Wibbs, I understand you not wanting to scan on the 16th. I guess it's not really necessary since you already know you have a little one hanging in there. He (she) certainly wouldn't want to miss a trip to FL and a chance to see Mickey. Congrats Dagny and Jackie. Welcome to the next 2WW. It's a tough one but wonderful to be able to experience it. Nikola, I'm a wierdo too!! I feel the same way you do. It's a difficult feeling to explain, knowing you are pregnant, feeling every miserable sign of pregnancy, but still not "believing" it. I just want to stay rolled up in a ball in my bed until my scan. Only 2 days away for you, awesome! I look like a mess, feel like a mess, my house is a mess, I'm exhuasted and sick. I can't wait for everybody to get a chance to feel like I do. Sarah and July Ann, I am going to keep logging in to this site until I hear you two complaining about the same things. Di, so glad your scan went well. I hadn't heard from you in a while and am happy to hear things are moving right along so beautifully. I am going to have to try them those bands you mentioned. Good luck Leslie! Val

hi gang the bands are called travel bands, you wear them on your wrists on your pressure points, they help to take the edge off of the sickness { i hope}. can anyone tell me? does this big bloated tummy go down before it comes back up? i really do look 4 months and very little of my clothes fit me. still very tired, but finding it hard to sleep and rest, trying to get christmas done before the heavy sickness starts... di - i was pleased to see the results of your scan went well. nikola - can't wait until you get your results on friday. please post early. val - glad you finally got to taste the great english percy pig. hope you are keeping well. well bye for now speak soon love jackie xxx

Hi Nikola, Sorry I didn't get back online yesterday - installed a firewall as recommended by Steve Wright in the afternoon's website of the day - an couldn't get the PC working and as I was feeling exhausted couldn't even begin to think of sorting it!! Anyway, Jackie's right about the wrist bands - they are called 'travel bands' and you can get them from most chemists but Boots def. have them. They look like a sweatband but have a white button which you place on your inner wrist and it helps with the sickness - doesn't stop it all together but does help! Val - good to hear your Percy Pigs arrived safely - that Nikola's a good-un, isn't she? Jackie - my stomach is still bloated and am already finding my clothes are tight - though it was just me and all the Greggs sausage rolls I'm munching through!!! Di

hi all sick girl here! I've sent dh out to get some travel bands - ASAP! I don't think it helps, but I'm actually getting a cold too. I've decided to shut up (I promise!) about it and just lie on the sofa and sleep it off.....lets hope it doesn't last another 6 weeks! As for clothes, mine were very tight with all the bloated feeling and even after the pessaries stopped I didn't find it went down. So I went and invested in a couple of new pairs of jeans. Per Una in Marks and Spencers do a fantastic pair of jeans that are stretchy and only £25 - bargain. So I've bought a rather large pair of those and thought it will stretch as I get bigger. Jackie - you need to go and have your boobs measured for new non-wired bras asap! Apparently (I didn't know this!) but you are not allowed to wear wires. M&S do a cheap 2 pair pack for £20 (although mine are so bloody huge they didn't have any to fit me!) I had a mini-shopping spree last Friday and now have clothes that fit me - phew! Val - I couldnt eat a percy pig if you paid me a million pounds (or even dollars!) Save them for when you are feeling better!! Di - I found amongst feeling sick I had a sudden desire to eat a Greggs Cheese & Onion Pasty (I never eat pasties, not since weight watchers - especially not a cheese one!!) But boy did it do the trick. I felt great for at least half an hour afterwards......! Maybe this could be my next new craze......likely to add even more pounds than percy pigs!!! Love to all, off to get blown over whilst walking my boys! love nikolaxxxxx

hi gang does anyone know if this bloated will go down first??? i bought my bra's to-day, obviously did'nt get measured and they are too small... i could'nt get bigger,??? already a 34dd!!! O.M.G DH will have a field day. he already keeps laughing at my figure{what figure}, as i really do look like i've popped already. feel queasy in waves.. feel very tired.. look shit. but.. what the heck!!!! anyway talk tomorrow love jackie xxx

Nikola · Post by **Nikola** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 10:48 am

Hi jackie welcome to looking and feeling like sh!t! The bloated feeling doesn't really go away (or at least it hasn't for me!) I suspect if you are having more than one it never will. My fertility nurse said that at 12 weeks with twins I'll look properly pg! (can't wait, at the moment I just look like a fat knacker!) I feel permanently sick and tired and just want to lie on the sofa. So that is what I'm going to do! I have no idea how 'normal' people go to work and try to carry on as normal - I just couldn't!! AT least I'll be less worried about you not sleeping, you are going to be sleeping for England!! I'm so pleased you are pg too! don't forget to let me know what your hcg reading is later.........could you be going for the record triple pg!! love nikola.xxx
