Caroline,

Nice to meet you, too. Don't worry, I'm right behind you--will be 43 in August. No, there were no frosties because the 3 other embryos weren't great looking and didn't continue developing and so they didn't freeze them. Planning to do another cycle around August, though really worried about a 6 cm fibroid causing problems. At my age, no time to have it out, though.

BigJ,

Wanted to say congrats on your +ve. Sorry about your scare but glad there turned out to be an explanation for it. All uphill from here!

Emily

Bigj

What a trauma for you not what you need eh? hope you are ok and getting plenty of rest and TLC I am thinking about you.

Caroline the idea of puttingonly 2 back was originally wanted a suppy of frosties, but things never go completely to plan and have nothing frozen as only 2 made it to blast but I am gateful we had something to put back.

2WW is proving quite a challenging time for me my 15year old went missing with the boyfriend yesterday! (she doesn't know about the IVF) the HB ( Horrid boyfriend) had afall out with his dad so did a bunk and took my daughter with him!!! anyway she is home safe and sound and v sorry but jeez she gave me a scare!!

Then today my old dog was rushed to the vet with a womb infection and had to have a hysarectomy (spelling!?!) she is 12 quite old for a bulldog but she came trough ok just keeping my fingers crossed for her now!

Sorry to have a moan but honestlyi feel worn out with it all but dadis doing great so that is a relief.

Take care you all hope you are all having a bettertime than me!!

Hi again Emily. Sorry to hear about your disappointing cycle but hope you get the go ahead to do it again in August. You'll still be younger than I am starting my cycle (exactly 43 yrs and 5 months today).

Jill, you really have got a lot to contend with haven't you. I think you're definitely entitled to have a moan. To start with, I can't imagine what it must be like to be doing IVF and having to hide it from someone in the same house. Can't be easy. Hope you get a bit of R&R over the weekend.

Caroline

Hello All,
I've away from the board since our last IVF cycle failed and have now plucked up the courage to come back. We are starting our 3rd and final cycle at the end of June and are looking towards having EC week commencing 1st August.
Things seems to have been both good and bad on this thread. Sorry to read the bad news, but nice to read the positive things.
Just to add my thoughts on how many embies to have put back - on each of our two previous cycles I've had 3 put back. The last cycle they were all above average quality but no luck. I too would have 4 put back if I were allowed. Mind you we've only ever had 3 embryoes that were good enough to put back so have had nothing to freeze on either attempt too.

Best of luck to everyone and I guess I'll be on here a lot for the next couple of months.

Love
Debbie

Debbie,
You have been on my mind lately. I have wondered many times where you are and why you've been so quiet.
So glad to see you back and ready to roll again!
Best to you!

Thanks for your messages girls. When our last IVF failed I just found it really difficult to keep visiting here as I wasn't sure when we would be begining the next cycle. Now that we're on the merry-go-round again I feel much more able to cope. I have missed everyone and have wondered how people were getting on.

I've been trying to get myself into shape for this next round - trying to excercise a bit more, eating healthily, reduce stress!! Sounds like lots of you have been doing the same.

Love
Debbie

Hello there. Just wanted to explain that I'm going to take a break from the board, I'm finding it hard to snap out of 'it' and to be honest, reading about other tmts just makes me dwell on the subject too much. DF and I agree I'm getting a bit obsessed with the whole thing and it's not doing either of us any good.

I'm genuinely sad I can't cheer you all on through the next few months and apologies for being such a drama queen about it all but I'm sure you'll understand, I've let tmt take over my/our existence when I really need to focus on what we've got, not only what we've lost.

I hope when I get back you've all moved on and the PG 40+ board is full of happy new faces

Have a lovely summer and the very best of luck over the next 6 weeks.
love
Debra.

Debra

you may have "gone" already and may not get to read this, but, for what it's worth, I think you're doing the right thing. It's too easy to live on here and have the whole focus of your life be about IVF and infertility. I'm sure we'll miss having you around but we're grown ups (hell, we're the oldest people here, so we'd better be), we'll cope.

Now get out there and live some life, get that wedding planned and do all those other things (drink wine, eat chocolate) that we can't do without feeling guilty.

take good care of yourself

Caroline

Hi Caroline, I'm still around for another week in fact but am sliding out quietly, not that I've a tonne of interesting things to say anyway. How riveting is my weight gain???

Love the advice re. wine. I will do my best - hic!

hugs
Debra.

Debra, HAve a good Summer then and we'll see you back ready and relaxed in the Autumn.

I totally understand where u are coming from, it's hard to look forward and easy to get obsessed with it all. My dh thinks I am crazy for the time I spend on here. But I am happy. We all have our own ways.

Anyway, enjoy the summer. Are you holidaying in Suffolk?
