Afternoon phoenixes!! I know I've been absent for a while - life is so busy! - but I have been thinking of you all.

Gail - not long now, just one sleep honey. Sending you PMA x infinity :lol: :lol: I'm sory to hear you have the boss from hell but well done you for being so pro active. Hope it all works out soon but once you get your BFP tomorrow, who care you'll only have another 7 or 8 months to suffer him :D

Lucy - 8 follies that's fantastic. Well done you! EC tomorrow ..... will be thinkin of you. All the best :wink:

Lola so nice to hear from you. How are you? Wishing you all the best for the exam results. When do you hear? August is n time at all.. just 3 months. The time will fly by, just you wait and see :wink:

Kate - how is everything going for you doll?? How far thro your cycle ar you now?

Bev hiya, was nice speaking to you on CMV thread. All the very best with your tmt xx

Nicki doll, thanks for PM. Will PM you after this. Has AF arrived yet?

Julie - how are you hun?? Have you got over your holiday blues? Sending you big hugs. :o I felt a bit like you did when I was at the christening on Sunday (explained below)

Jen hope you are over the worst sweetie and are taking care of yourself. When are you starting tmt? xx

Well here's the low down with me. Thankyou everyone for all your kind words. That day I posted, I went home and burst into tears :oops: and had a big talk with dh. He is 200% sure donor is the route for him / us but is just feeling a bit numb about everything at the moment - he says he still feels in shock (which I can totally understand). He says it all feels so clinical at the mo, and he feels guilty for me having to go thro all the tmt. He doesn't want more time before starting tmt but says until I get our BFP he will find it hard. That was enough to reassure me that we will be ok :wink: Lola yes we have been for counselling and it did help. We can go back whenever we want (had 2 sessions like you). dh says he doesn't want to go back at mo as he knos where we're at.

So I'm waiting on appt for hsg before tarting tmt. Had a blood test yesterday to check cmv status - the nurse seemed totally ditsy and used the wrong tube to collect the sample initially. Today the surgery phoned to say I have to have it repeated as she left all the surgery details off the tue so they had to discard it. ARGHHHH :evil: :evil:

Nicki AF arrived 5 days late!

Well Stew and I are now godparents (I am godmother twice now).The christening was great and we had a lovely day. Spent all day with our friends but was hard seeing all the other families there - there were 7 kids in total. Like you Julie I felt a bit out of place at times when everyone was talking kids etc.

Dh and I are on holiday this week. We went to Glasgow yesterday to see Litle Britain live which was very funny. We got a hotel and had a few drinks and dinner too . Today, we have been together for exactly 12 years. I can't believe it..... the time goes so quick. Tomorrow we are off to see our nephew (who is my other god son) and on Friday we are going to St Helens for the weekend to see dh's sister.

My training for the 10k run is going well. Have run 8 and a half miles between yesterday and today but have blisters on my feet :( :(

Hi to everyone else I have missed.

See soon !! xxx

Hi girls

This is the most nervous I have been with all my cycles, this is most deffiantely the worse, thought they'd get easir not harder. But hey thing will be fine, I'm just hoping they get some good eggs. I will be logging on tomorrow to see Gails good news, so I'll let you all know how many eggs I got.

Jeni - I feel you are doing the right thing concentrating on one thing at a time, IVF is hard enough to go through without having to focus on other stuff. Hope your cold clears up soon.! Good luck for Friday, I'm sure it will help you. Wow tmt to start in 10 days or so, that's great Jen, I wish you all the luck in the world, not that you need it, this is going to work for you and DF.

Lis - I'm glad you are feeling better and had a talk with DH. Its a very hard road we all travelling down and it plays with our emotions like we wouldn;t believe but we have to be there for one another and be as strong as we can. (very hard I know)
Glad you had a nice day at christening even though it must of been hard. Glad you both enjoyed Little Britain.! Enjoy the rest of your week off hun. Take Care

Gail - Only Image more sleep to go sweetie, I bet you are so nervous, but I know you'll be celebrating a BFP..! I'll keep an eye out for your news..! Best Wishes - I am sending you lots of baby dust for tomorrow - Image
p.s you are doing the right thing being on sick, your little embies don't want your boss being funny with you, they want their mummy at home relaxing and chilling out.!

MLG - Hope you and little bean are doing OK?

Smita - Hope you and Dhruvva are doing OK too..??? I was looking through the photo album and I have to say she is absolutely gorgeous..!

Take Care everyone.

Lucy

Gail, I really do not know what to say, I am truly gutted for you and DH. Please be strong. Your time WILL come!

Juts got back from EC, they only got 5 eggs, bit disappointed but its better than none isn't it, they will ring me in the morning to tell me how many have fertilized. Will keep you posted.!

Take Care everyone.

Hi girls,

Lucy - excellent news on the EC, may they all fertilise and then you can have your pick of the bunch to put back in!!

Gail - sorry to hear your news, hang in there x

MLG - excellent news on the def BFP...may it be the same for us!!

As for me, I had a scan on Friday and had to go back yesterday to check the progress. All is fine, and have my ET on Monday!! I've only got 3 frosties left so hopefully one of the little blighters will decide to stick around for the next 9mths!! Lucy, looks like our text dates will be fairly close, I think mine will be the 22nd May. So, the pressure is back on you as you will test before me...if you get a BFP then I'm sure I will too! :D

Hope everyone else is doing ok and not stressing too much...enjoy the sun!

Hi girls

Just wanted to let you know that 3 of my eggs have fertilized. I go back in the morning for my babies putting back where they belong. I am hoping the third embryo is as good as the other two, so maybe they can freeze him/her. (don't think they will though, they will pick the best two and let the third perish, which I feel quite sad about cos you've heard of the not so strong ones making it haven't you.)

I am not even on the official 2ww yet and I'm already nervous.

I will let you know what grades they were tomorrow.

Take Care all

Lucy thats good that 3 have fertilised. I will be thinking about you tomorrow. ET is always over so quickly isnt it :D The worst thing I find is they say 'have a semi full bladder' im then always bursting for the loo when they are putting the embryos back in, I am always scared I will wet myself :oops:

Sorry no other personals at the moment, however I will be back on here properly soon, I am following what you are all up to though :wink:

Ive got really bad AF pains today so feeling sorry for myself. Its not as if I didnt know that I was going to get them :evil: I was actually thinking that if I ever did get 2 lines on the pee stick I would probably die of shock :?

Had quite a few tears yesterday but each day makes us stronger. The door bell rang yesterday afternoon and I was muttering to myself and thought about not answering it cos didnt feel like polite conversation however 4 work friends and my old boss had sent me a teddy in a balloon with another balloon attached saying 'thinking of you' The world is full of some really lovely people, including obviously everyone on here :wink:
sorry to waffle on about myself :oops:

Good luck to everyone
