Pheonixes Rising

[ogr1]

i knew you where going this month i was just early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

did orange for good luck

[gailp]

MLG you are our inspiration on this thread. All the phoenixes will be following in your shoes and getting BFP. You poor thing having a bladder infection, hope the antibiotics clear it up quickly for you. 30 weeks time and you will be holding your BIG bundle of joy.


Julie your rabbit sounds sweet, cant believe he has cataracts, poor old thing. I think Smudge will be an outside rabbit but we are letting him run around in the house for a couple of hours each day. I will probably be a soft touch in the winter and let him stay in. How is the non-smoking going?

Lis that’s great that you finally have your appointment through, less than 2 weeks away, You must be so relieved to be finally getting some where. Fingers crossed that the next bit of good news will be your funding.

Jen hope your ok and resting up. As everyone else has said it does only take one. We are all rooting for you, this is your turn.

Lola Viking warrior. I was looking at the October buddies because of Stephs fantastic news (I felt like I was snooping on there!) I saw you raving about the Janet Evanovich books, I have to agree with you they are so funny and a good light hearted read, I just wish she would write some more. How are you? When are you hoping to cycle again?

Kate I see from your ticker you are changing clinics, hopefully they will see things with a fresh pair of eyes and do things differently and most important of all get you that BFP

Lucy how are you? Was you boyfriend supportive when you got your BFN? I know you said you went to your sisters that evening, just hoping your ok. Are things all ok now with you both?

I am so glad it’s a Bank holiday and so far today its not even rained. I am off to the cinema tomorrow to see Mission Impossible 3 and going out for a meal as well. I can’t believe I am starting treatment again as soon as my AF arrives. I am due 3rd June but normally a bit late.

I have a question for you all. One of my friends is heavily pregnant, it was a ‘honeymoon baby’ and she conceived the 1st month of trying. The thing is she fell pregnant when I was having my 1st FET last year and I just feel (selfishly) that that should have been ‘my time’ not hers. Am I being completely stupid and selfish?

[Kate21]

Hi Girls,

Just popping in to say hi. Haven't been around for a few days and seem to have missed so much!

Lis - excellent news on getting your appointment date

Jen - how you doing after your ET? Think positive (easier said than done I know), but think back to Tracii and her nightmare cycle with only one embie. She ended up with a BFP - so can you!

Lucy - how's things? Hope you're feeling better and more positive about this rollar coaster ride known as IVF?

Gail - how's you? Looking forward to starting tmt, not long now!!

As for me, I've made an appointment at a new clinic for the 5th July. Its at the Essex Fertility Centre, so if anyone has any views on it let me know. Its ranked as 4th in the country for success rates so it must be doing something right! I'm trying to put the fertility thing out of my head, at least until the 5th. No more ovulation sticks, no counting days etc - you never know it might have a positive effect!

Kate

[Jeni Babes]

Hi all

KATE that's good news

gail- it's totally understandable that you feel that way....i lost my 1st preg at 10wks an ectopic, but another Jen i work with was preg too ( we were due the same day) and each day at work i would see her grow and grow...Even though i was so pleased for her and her hubby ( they had just got married)...It hurt like hell...we are all entitled to be jealous and envious sometimes but try not to let it eat you away...your time will come Honey...PMA

Lucy Nicki Smita and everyone else thank you all so much for alll the positive PMA you have sent my way...I do so hope that i get a BFP...My little 'he' embie was a 6 cell on the 2nd day( a fast grower the doc said) so i am hoping the little fighter is embedding as we speak and hanging in all the way until next Feb

I have been exausted so have enjoyed the time adam has taken off from work to look after me. I have stayed in bed the last 3 days and slept a lot. The progesterone pessaries are ( like last 2ww) are causing me waves of nausea, so feeling very yeuky...Though i would GLADLY feel the same for the next 10-12 wks if it meant i have a BFP...
My test date is the 9th June x x fingers crossed x x Fighter embie makes it....

Love to you all will catch y'all soon...big hugs to all the pheonixes...
love jen

Hi everyone

Jen - I can't believe you are on 2ww. I know that might sound a bit strange, but I just can't get over how quickly things come round......... you are going to be fine and 'he' is a fighter and in Feb you'll be meeting your little of joy.....

I am sending you lots and lots of baby dust..

You keep resting sweetie.. Take Care.

Kate - Hope you're doing alright? Pleased to hear you have made an appointment at a new clinic. When do you think you'll be doing another cycle.? I will add you date to the list. Take Care hun

Gail - Yes my boyf was supportive when I got my BFN, but in a way I don't think he knows what to say to me. I know he is going through this as well and it means everything to him too, but I always think, because he has a son, it can't mean as much to him. At the end of the day he is a dad and no-one can take that away from him..! I know I shouldn't think like that, because I know he wants us to have a family. It just hurts so much. As for how are we getting on, well it’s been a bit up and down really, lets just see how things go..! With him being poorly and this IVF rollercoaster, things haven't been easy, but we are both trying, we both know what we are both going through, sometimes it gets too much and all I want to do is get out rather than talking about things......!!!!!

What was Mission Impossible 3 like.? As for the pregnant friend, well there is a women at my work who is due around the time I would of been (28th July) I see her everyday and it hurts like hell, I just keep thinking, wow I wouldn't have long to go. I think, would I be as big as her.?! All sorts go through my head.. The other day, this girl at work, said to be cheer up, it may never happen..! If she only knew eh....? Now I feel everyone thinks I'm a miserable cow.??

Nicki - Hope you are enjoying the Hols...?????

Julie - How is the no smoking going..???

A big hello to Lola, MLG, Lisa and Smita. Hope you ladies are OK?

Bye for now.

Lucy

Evening lovely phoenixes

Jen as Julie says your wee fighter embie has more room now to make himself all snug for the next 8 and a half months! 3 and a half hour wait ... that's bl**dy awful, no wonder you were tired. Hope you have recovered

Julie fab news about the refund. What are you going to spend your well returned cash on?? and how is the no smoking going xx

Nicki hope you are enjoyin the hols ...

Lucy how you doin doll. If only that work person knew...Keep the chin up ... I think you have done amazingly well to be back at work and coping so well. xx

Kate that's positive news about the new clinic. When are you planning to get under way.. are you having a rest first?

Gail how is your new sweetie pie Rabbit?

Hi to yummy mummy to be MLG and yummy mummy in the now Smita ! ...

Sorry head is mince Gail or was it Lucy? re: the friend who is pg / just had her baby. You are not being selfish, its totally natural. My sis in law found out she was pg for the 2nd time the same week ( I actually think the same day ) we found out dh had no sperm Every step now (her scans, finishing work, due date)I hear about I also feel like that should be me, like dh and I deserve it more (after all she aready has one!)I feel awful for thinking that but sometimes can't help bu think why are we being punished? Its comforting to know we all feel the same.

Sorry I don't post much at the mo (but like Julie I do check up on you all from work regularly )life is just busy. I suppose I am intentionally keeping it that way for now. Still no news on the health board meeting date re our funding. Blood tests all done and dusted now and arm has healed Only 9 days til hsg fingers crossed its A OK .

I think I forgot to post about my run. I finished the 10k in 53.5 mins. Was really chuffed and got a great buzz from doing it. Will def do another one and am going to keep training til tmt comes up. I came 1349th out of 12, 795!!

I have decided to start back teaching aerobics one night a week. I really miss it and just think what's the point on putting my life on hold whilst waiting on tmt. I have decided I will pretend I have an injury during 2 ww so can instruct class with minimum activity. If I get a BFP I will give it up but if its a BFN then I can keep it going and it keeps my focus elsewhere. This Saturday I am going to an aerobics freestyle workshopthat will give me loads of ideas for my class. Its a 4 hour event and can't wait to get back into all that again.

Dh's Dad is in hosptital at the mo. He is 70 now and really weak after a 2nd stroke last year. He has a badly bruised hip after a fall, MRSA and a chest infection. He is drugged up on pain killers and they are scared the MRSA wil spread to his hip He lives 100 miles away so makes it difficult to visit. Dh looked quite sad tonight so he is out with his mates playing pool.

I am going on a hen weekend in 3 weeks time. 8 girls in a chalet in sunny Dunoon. Wehey should be alugh. Will have to add it to the list

Take care all xxx

[Jeni Babes]

Hi all
Lis great to hear from you you sound in top fitness and mental form...I think focusing mentally on something else does help take the edge of the up and downness of moods during ivf...This time knowing we will be moving in 3-4 months and getting a little puppy has helped me focus on the bigger picture and not be so self absorbed with this ivf cycle. So i realy do think you are focusing energy inthe right way. your 10k run wa done in a fab time under 55mins you fit thing you... Sorry to hear about your FIL...poor Soul...saying a prayer for a fast recovery for him...After all the shite my dad went through in Dec and Jan he is now doing okay. Still struggling to walk but he and mum are driving to France for a month touring in his motor home...Hope the strength of your FIL will soon return...hugs to you and hubby x x x

Lucy thanks doll for all your baby dust I hope it does the trick with my little fighter...ia m still feeling sick and tired but am okay about it. I doubt i will get up to forres to see Adam this weekend as a 3 hr drive seems too much when i feel this yeuky. I do hope you and B/f pull through agin it is such a destressing time gettinfg over a bfn as well as memories of past dates due coming up hugs to you loittle Lucy you are soooo strong...


Hi to everyone else sorry i have not done many personals...
I am off to progesterone myself and will need to lie down for hrs afterwards so by for now....

love and hugs of rainbows

Helloo Phoenixen

I’ve been a bit crap at posting lately but I have been checking up on everyone.

Gail – yes those books are hilarious – are you a Morelli girl or a Ranger girl? For me? Morelli every time. Can’t believe you’re cycling again so soon – power to you my girl! I’m hoping to cycle again in August but will have to see what Dr McFertile says at my follow up appointment on 23rd June…… Been having a lot of right low abdo pain and so may need more investigations….

Jeni – This has all happened so quickly! STICK little one!!! I hope this works lovely – you deserve it!!! Progesterone is a bugger, take it easy, plenty of rest.

Lucy – how are you getting on? Whats your plan for further treatment?

Lis – well done on the super fast run, I agree with Jeni, you sound really motivated and healthy. Its good to fill your life with other things, ivf has a trick of stealing your time and energy by stealth, its so easy for it to become your sole focus, even when you vowed it would never happen. I wish I was as energetic as you – I am the laziest slob and I’m so out of shape. Keep promising my dh that I’ll start exercising after my exam… he believes me? Does he know nothing???

Julie – where are you? You haven’t posted for a bit (pot…kettle..) are you out spending your pay back money????? Shoes………lovely shoes…..

Kate – good luck with new clinic. You too sound pretty up beat.

So, I’ve been studying for the dreaded abomination, my life is a void of anything remotely adventurous or exciting. Can’t wait until its all over now so I can do stuff again! My appointment with the doc is not for a few weeks and then I’ll decide about next FET. I’m keen to get started again after this long break but glad I took the break, it was all getting a bit much.

OK my beauties! I’m off back to desk for yet more thrill n spills.

Love, Lola

Hi Girls just taking time out in my lunch break to update (I've added my exotic hen weekend in Dunoon hah ha!)

[Julie2039]

Hi Girls!!!!!

Just checking in to say I am "A" ok.

I am now on day 14 of non smoking and it is easier than I thought (even tho I could beat someone with a big stick just get a smell of one) !!!! I am now addicted to apples instead Have put weight on tho, sommat to do with metabolism.

My NHS refund, so chuffed up about that!!, will be paying for my new bedroom hopefully, but am going to treat myself first! I have just booked tickets to see Will Young for starters. Must add that to the list.

Had a hectic weekend last weekend - 2 bbq's (rained!), and me and my DH went to stay overnight in a hotel/meal on Saturday night. Needed some TLC.

Work getting worse......Apparently 1st week of July is crunch time - partner split, co dissolving and the prospect of redundancy . I have been so gutted as love it here and my co workers. It is possible I will have another job as my boss is trying to line things up for us but the whole prospect of having to explain our situation to personell etc re time off and such does not please me one bit. The timing is AWFUL!!!!

JEN - 8 days to test!!!!! Hope you are feeling ok and taking it easy and getting loads a luv n hugs off Adam. Sending lots of PMA and babydust your way x

LIS - Well done on the run!!!! That's a brill result. Hope everything goes ok with the HSG and the news about funding comes through quick! Seems were always waiting for something....Hope your dad in law is on the mend and your DH isn't feeling too sad. A good idea re the aerobics, if it is something you enjoy doing, it can only help take your mind off stuff if only for a couple of hours! xx

LUCY - Hope you are ok hun. Seems like everywhere you look there are pregnant ladies. I am sure they don't think you are a miserable cow. Glad things are going ok for you and DP.

MLG - How are you? Hope the infection is clearing up and your bump is forming nicely!!!!

LOLA - Hope you are not studying tooo hard!! You know what they say about all work and no play. Sure all the hard work will pay off.

GAIL - Hope your AF comes as expected and no, you are not being stupid or selfish about your friend. Natural reaction. I know we should be pleased and happy for others and deep down we probably are but jealousy is a stronger emotion and certainly don't ask to feel that way!!! Hope smudge is helping

KATE - Good news about the appointment and the clinic sounds successful. Hope you have rec'd good feedback. Keep chin up.

SMITA - Hope life is good for you and your wee family

Hope I haven't forgotten anyone, sorry if I have...

Can't believe the speed my ticker is running down!!!

Take Care xxx

Thanks
