[MLG]

Hi Ladies

Dear Jen - I was really starting to worry about you. Glad to hear from you, even though the news isn't that good. I agree with what the other ladies said about treatments and keeping positive.
I also have a friend (more of a friend's friend) that was diagnosed about 10 years ago. She had a baby not long ago and is going pretty well.

Keep positive and remember we are here for you!
To a BFP soon!!!!!

Jen I am so sorry to hear your news, I really feel for you. Life can be so cruel.! You are a very strong person Jen, I know you will stay positive. Like Lola says the news will probably take a while to sink in properly but please take care of yourself. You will have a baby, this tmt is going to work.

I hope your friends keep calling round while DF is away. Hate to think of you being lonely.

I will be thinking about you.

Lucy

Hi Pheonixes, you are so wonderful.... Thank you everyone for your loving words of support....


I have slept all afternoon after acupuncture and feel better for finally letting you all into my world of ms...it was suspected since last october so i have read loads and armed with info i am ready to work with this illness. It does mean a life style change but so does motherhoood...i just want to be able to be a healthy Mum.

lola you are right about psycholgical factors being important, i am a psychotherapist and work in a hospital with pople suffering long term illness and mental health problems. i am trained ( 12 yrs now ) with pain management and relaxation, so at least all the info i know can now help me too.! ... But it does help to hear from others that PMA is so important!

Gail- i helped my partner through cancer and chemo..it was a nightmare for him and for me to watch him...so that's why i said i am glad it isn't cancer...Things could be so much worse couldn't they

Macca- meds are a problem with ivf so will be continuing on the homeopathic/acupuncture/ kinesiology route...although my neuro is standing by with beta inteferon if i want next year.It's good to hear postive stories of others getting preg though thanks for that.

Lisa thanks for the eye input i hope within a few weeks things will improve enough for me to drive. If i need any help i will ask your professional advice

Lucy- yes life ain't short on the blows but hey! it could be worse...I do still have a shot at IVF and will be focusing on that and getting well enough to be a MUM ...

lets hope we all end up on the Pregnant after tmt forum!!!!

PMA PMA PMA

love to ya all

Hi everyone

Jen how are you doing are you OK without DF there? Hope you are managing to keep occupied, you are such a strong person and really amazing.

Lucy good luck tomorrow, hope that horrible nasty cyst has done a magic trick and vanished into thin air and you can then start those meds. I completely understand why you don't want to see you Dad's wife's daughter's baby, your Dad should understand, you have to do what is right for you. If you do and see her it might be a good idea to have an excuse ready so that you don't have to stay long if you are struggling to cope.

Liz hope your training is going well.

Nicki I am so pleased that you have got your friendships back on track and that your going to be a God mother as well, that's great news. This is definitely your year. New House New Job and old friends and that BFP to look forward to as well.

MLG how are you doing, what a waiting game for you. It sounds good news though that your Dr is not worrying, that definitely seems a good sign.

Kate that's great that you have been to a psychic, sounds really hopefull to. Are you doing all that Zita told you to do?

Hi to everybody else.

Well I had my ET yesterday, they had to thaw 4 embies to get 2 viable ones and they are now settling into their new home. I cant believe that this will be my 5th 2WW, they certainly don't get any easier!! I'm trying to stay positive that this will be my time but also trying not to be over confident as I don't want to set myself up for a fall. What I would really like to do is to hibernate for the next 2 weeks. I start my new job Tuesday, just hoping my brain which is a but mushy at the moment starts to work by then otherwise my new colleagues will think I'm a right idiot.

Going to watch some more day time telly now with my feet up and 2 cats looking after me.

xx

[luby]

[color=indigo]Gail - That's great news, your little embies are now where they belong, all snuggly and keeping warm.... You keep positive girl, this is going to work for you. I know the 2ww doesn't get any easier, but keep thinking to yourself, what you will have in 9 months time.............

As for me AF arrived this morning, got to go to clininc at 10.30am in morn to see if thr dreaded cyst has gone, I really hope so, I have myself syked up now to get this started...! So if its gone I will start my drugs tomorrow.... whhooo hhooooo..........

You make sure you rest now Huni..

Ive been away frpm the pc for 3 days and wow so much has happened, with every one here in phoenixes and the other threads, cant keep up with it!!!

Crazy!!!

So what have i been up too???

Since easter works been hectic, not getting home til 6:30 / 7pm ish, so total whacked in the evenings.....
Had a bad day on wed, as a girl in the office announced she's preg, and every one was clucking about her, and go on about babies, and oh nicola ur'll be next blah blah blah!!!!
They dont even know the situaion with me, only my boss knows now, so they didnt realise they were rubbing salt in the wound but I kept a low profile that day, then came home and cryed on dh, he was great, and caring but still told me to pull myself together......

So feeling better now, looking fwd to the w/end, it's been a knackering week...

Gail, huney hope that the 2ww goes quickly for ya honey......

Hi everyone

Yippeee my cyst has gone, so I started drugs today, got an appoitment on Friday28th April to see how I'm getting on, see if my follies are growing nicely.... I am really happy.... can't belive I'm actually here again though.!

Sorry no personals this is just a quick post, I just wanted to let you know that my cyst had gone and I am the road to a BFP....!

Lucy

[gailp]

Lucy that is fantastic news about your cyst. Weird things aren’t they!! They pop up just to stress us out unnecessarily and then just disappear. Arrrrr. How did the first day of your drugs go? It’s like riding a bike isn’t it, once you start taking them again you slip so easily back into the routine.

Nicki sounds as if you are busy at work, are you still enjoying it? Don’t you hate those words ‘you will be next’ I always have an urge to say ‘its not for want of trying you know’ instead I try and smile sweetly and say who knows. I hope its not getting to you too much, keep smiling don’t let them get to you. Men just don’t understand, they tend to bottle up their feelings, where as women always find crying easier and I always feel a bit better after a good sob, don’t know why I suppose it relives a bit of tension.

MLG how are you doing my love?

Jen enjoy your weekend with DF and have a fantastic week up North with him, make sure he gives you loads of TLC.

I had the worst nights sleep I have ever had last night. I went to bed feeling really bloated and looking like a beached whale and had pains really low in my stomach (nothing like period pains though) and then I had hot flushes all night and I am still getting them now. Just hoping it’s a good sign not a bad sign. Only 11 days to go!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

xx

[Lis]

Evening phoenixes!

Gail glad you're resting up you've only 11 short days to go. Hope the pains and bloating have gone and best of luck for your new job Tuesday. Show em what you've got! xx

MLG - still hangin n there?? xxxx

Lucy - fab news re cyst or should I say no cyst!! How are the drugs going? Feeling ok?xx

Jen - you take care honey. Your strength is an inspiration to us all. Have a lovely time with DF xxxx


Nicki - honey had similar week to you. Good friend had baby 2 weeks ago and insisted on giving me blow by blow account of the birth plus 3 times this week I've heard the, "are you getting broody - better do something about it" AARRGGHHH!!!! Keep your chin up chuck xx

Julie - how were hols? Hope your feelin rested Lookin forward to hearing all about them xxx

Hi to everyone else.

Well I'm off to Darlington tomorow for first consultation at new hospital re donor iui. Feeling a bit anxious about it actually altho I've been excited all week.

Had a great weekend. Went to visit my friend last night who has a new flat. We had fajitas and lovely wine then went for a couple at her local wine bar. Did a wee bit of retail therapy today. Bought some ballet pumps, a belt and a couple of tops but kept it quite cheap

Off to watch desperate housewives now.

Nite nite xxxxxxxxxx

[Julie2039]

Hi All - I am back!!! Took me ages to catch up...

Lis - Good luck - keeping everything crossed for your appt xxx How did it go??? Hope the training is going well too

Gail - 10 days & counting. Hope you feel better today - good luck with job tomorrow. PMA to you

Luby - Fab news re cyst!! Are meds going ok? Hope you feel better re the new baby - you are not silly, totally normal. Did your dad respond to the IVF link?

Nikki - Sounds like lifes hectic for you! Sorry to hear about work - boss prob meant well but can't they be insensitive!!!! Chin up chuck July will be here soon for us both (Congrats on being godmother)

MLG - Love n hugs to you - everything seems a waiting game - stay strong hun xx

Lola - How are you doing? I hope the cloud is lifting for you xx How did the exam go?

Rachel - How are you now? Hope ok - any idea when new cycle might start?

Jen - so so sorry to hear your news (((((HUGS))))). A family friend was diagnosed with MS about 9 years ago and is now the proud mum of a 3 year old boy xx. Hope you had a lovely weekend and DF spoilt you. Enjoy your week together.

Well my hol is done & dusted!! Went reeeeaaaalllly fast. Had a good time on the whole but it did confirm my fears.....went with our friends (2 other couples and their kids) and it is quite obvious we are growing apart like I thought. Different priorities with new babies etc. They tend to stick together all the time and I feel like we have less and less in common. It was quite difficult for me at times too, totally family orientated (Haven Park) and was a bit overwhelming. Had to leg it out of the pool one day because everywhere I looked it was families and I felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb, even tho no one else probably noticed!! I think a lot is down to me tho, feeling like I don't fit in. I got to a point earlier in the year where I was desperately trying to hold onto the friendships because I would need them so much but now I don't care. Know we will always be friends but I have learnt not to rely on them so much. I don't think its that they don't care as such - just too busy with their own lives.

Anyway, back to normal life!!!! Can't wait for bank hol Monday for a day off heeeee.

xxxxxxxxxx

[Kate21]

Hi Girls,

Gail - good luck with the 2ww, keep the PMA going

Luby - excellent news about the cyst, why is life always so complicated? I also go in on Friday for my first scan for my second FET on Friday

MLG - hows it going?

Nikki - Boss's who needs them?!!

Jen - hope you're feeling better and the stomache ache disappears

As for me I'm back on the rollarcoaster, got my first FET scan on Friday and then its all systems go for my BFP!! Since I saw the psychic last week I feel much more positive. Perhaps I just needed someone to tell me that I will get pregnant someday. It may all be a load of twaddle but its working for me at the moment.

Hope everyone else is doing ok?
Kate
