Jen1d - so sorry you're hurting so much - you know where we are when you feel ready to come back - but keep us updated with the adoption - sending you big hugs up north hun xxx

ICSI - wow your new RE sounds like the works!! It is so great when you find a goodin' who is so positive and will go that extra mile for you - so pleased for you - next hurdle - DH quitting smoking! Perhaps his man -flu is a sign for him to stop now - surely he still can't be smoking if he is on deaths door!!

Angel - hun sounds like you had a rough time - but good that they are allowing you to put 3 back - thats unusual for the UK. Hey don't worry about the grade - seriously I've had a super grade A put back in and BFN and also a really bad grade put back in and a BFP - this time round I didn't find out - guessed if it was going to be then it would be, no matter what grade it was. When are you testing??

Steph - come on hun - what are your numbers?? hello aren't we the priority on here!! :wink:

Momma Mia - still on cloud 9 - have you got a date yet for u/s?

Lara - how are you feeling - are your iron numbers up yet? Answer to your question a few posts back - no not going to find out the sex - want to leave it as a surprise at the end - must be mad but kinda of old fashioned like that!

Shantala - how are you too? Have you gone back to work ??

Had midwife appt yesterday and got to hear jelly bean's heartbeat - totally amazing - bit sad though as DH missed out. Now searching sites for mat clothes - really have now grown out of work clothes especially trousers - def not looking attractive and have started to come out and tell people at work now that the midwife appt was all ok, so can let it all hang out and be proud :lol:

Hi, everyone else - catch up more later - back to surfing the web!

you'd think!! but i can assure you that i'll get home from work today and he will have still been having his ciggy's!!! the man is 54 years old and has been smoking since he was 15......while i'm not trying to be negative -- i really don't see him quitting.....so on to plan B --- taking these super-antioxidant multivitamins that doc recommended that she says WILL help..... :roll:

boy men are stubborn!!! Looks like you may fighting a losing battle - however, stranger things have happen and who knows you may still win this one - good luck!

I got my man some vits - who knows what they were, but his swimmers certainly improved this time round - they were from a well known fertility dr over here called zita west (check out her website if want to see the men vits she sells).

ICSI GIRL wrote: SO -- new clinic......TOTALLY FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm not going back to old clinic.....nope......(i was afraid this might happen) new RE (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HER) says "you don't need a gestational carrier.....this is not about YOU.......it is your HUSBANDS SMOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Wooooo Hoooooo - sounds like a great clinic hun, am so happy that YOUR happy - thats all that matters. Now get DH off the ciggies (bluch!) and get his taddies up to scratch and away to go :wink: xxx
Jen1d wrote::cry: Girls

This is going to sound very selfish but i dont know if i cant come onto the site much longer. I am having real problems and feel so low and am just so unhappy. I just want to have some good news and unfortunately that is never going to happen now. Having my Own baby was stripped from me after cycle no 4 and i cant deal with the pain any longer.
Yes i have a chance of adoption but although i'm sure it will be great---doesnt feel like it just now----i cant help grieve for me and dh's own child.

I feel visiting the site just now is too painful. Might feel different about this in a week, 1 month, 3 months who knows. Hope you understand.

Just to let you know i passed all my stuff and was accepted for the police so have that to focus on and have the social worker visiting weekly to do our forms for the Panel, so i'm hoping this will keep me busy and try to help heal the pain.

Good Luck to everyone

Love Jen x
Totally understand where u are comming from Jen, i am so sorry that your feeling like this and wish there was something i could do to take it all away and make things better - i dont like to see you unhappy, i think that given time you will feel a lot better that how u feel now - is there any sites for adoptive parents where u can go and chat about how u are feeling - these are all normal feelings and no one can blame u for feeling like this - ur a wonderful person who has so much love to give - i pray that one day you breath a sigh of relief and move on with your adoptive baby, cos u are gonna make a fantastic mum. My love to u and ur DH xxx

Hello to everyone else, hope ur all well :D

I have a strange question ladies, will give u a bit of warning tho - it might be a bit TMI - u have been warned!!

Remember a few weeks back when we were discusing 'ovulation' and knowing when u were ovulating. Well i got my AF on 31st Jan so my time for ovulation would be around 13th/14th/15th Feb. 3 days ago i knew i was ovulating because i always get the dull period like pain below, when i go to the toilet, i wipe and its a clear discharge, like egg whites! So then on Tuesday evening driving home from work i had a really sharp pain in my left side - it happened twice and both times lasted for about 30 seconds - the only way i can describe it, was like feeling my egg 'pop' out of my ovary! I didnt hink nothing else about it, but when i went to the toilet later on, i had spotting (brownish color) on my panty liner (i still wear panty liner every day cos of my bum problems) i tried not to think nothing else about it, and put it put it out of my head! Then last night i went to the toilet because i thought AF had started cos i felt all wet, there was brownish blood on my pany liner again, but this time - when i wiped there was a red blop of blood!
Hav any of u ladies have had this happen to them when they are ovulating. Today is back to normal, the clear egg white discarge is going but i still have slight AF achy aches! Anyone shed any light on whats happening? I do remember many mths ago getting the same thing happen (without the pain) and my AF was near on 5 weeks late - i did all the tests and everything was normal - negative etc - im praying that his isnt gonna make my next AF late - as i want to start tmt on my next one (she due 28th)
Sorry for that being a bit TMI - but i have no one else i can ask!

Work is mega busy i havent been able to get online at all as i am having training - i will say tho, that its much better there, and i can put my hand on my heart and say - im glad i stayed :D

P.S - Im watching American Idol - u have a woman from Dublin on there (with tattoos down her shoulder) she bloody brilliant!!!!!

Anyway, ive babbled on again enuff tonight - please any help with the ovulating i would appreciate it .... thanks :)

Becky Xxx

PPS - Steph - still so bloody pleased for you my dear :D XXXXXXXX

Hi girls, I'm still here. Just been laying low. Still sad, but improving.

Jen1D, thinking of you. Understand your need for space. It is difficult to hear all the good news and not feel able to be a part of it. I am with you on that. And it's ok to feel that way. It does not take away from being happy for others. I think the girls all understand. We are here and want to encourage you along with the adoption. So just remember that we care.

Angel, thinking of you and hoping that you are feeling better. Good idea to transfer 3.

Steph, I just caught myself up on all the news. Congratulations! Way to go.

I've been away for a few days and also not feeling much like chatting, so I too have stayed away from the board a bit. It is really challenging for me right now as I have suffered quite a bit. Please know that I am truly happy for all of you, but I am facing major challenges here. My age is a very big factor on my chances of success and there is nothing that I can do about it.

DH and I started accupuncture and have put in a call to another fertility clinic to get on waiting list for consult appointment. Can't hurt to get another opinion and perhaps try a new protocol. My RE's are all very good and I do like it where I am, but as recommended by my accupuncturist, it is always good to get another opinion. Different clinics do things differently.

We are still moving ahead with IVF #4. Went in for scan today. There are 4 follies. So if they all grow and fertilize, we will transfer all 4. Not shocking to me as we have transferred 4 or 5 during past cycles. I am on the maximum dosage of meds, so that's all we're getting.

I am sorry that I am not posting more personals. I have read all the pages and I'm all up on everyone's news. I am constantly thinking of you girls and always singing your praises. I will try to keep poking in, but, it is a difficult time. Thanks for understanding. -chriss
