[Jeni Babes]

Hi Pheonixes we are all on the RISE now...there are mega appointments in june coming up

julie- you made me laugh out loud...i love that your ticker is on days too...soon you will need to change it from a little snail to something speedier during your tmt. As for Sezer although he is a sleeze bag i want to keep him in for more fights....i love shouting at him on the tv...
but Lea could do with going i think... BB eviction night here we come... Also so glad you are being so good and not smoking...14 whole days your eggs will be so healthy now as all the niotine is well out of your sysytem.

Hi Holly- welcome to Pheonixes hope all goes well for you whenever your app comes up this month...How are you doing in yourself?have added you to our list x x


Hi Lola Babes- good to hear from ya girlie...June is a bumper month for everyone with appointments it seems...That is promising...Hope the abdo pain is nothing serious, could be just a a monthly cyst...

Hi to Lucy Nicki Kate Smita Gail MLG and everyone else

i am still in sicky mode so am making this short posts... it's day 8 post transfer and i am soooo sicky...feeling yeuk yeuk yeuk...but know if i am in for the long haul i gotta get used to it I have phoned my homeoepath and he is making up a prescription as we speak for collection on Monday to help with nausea. I have had a heavy feeling and cramps as well as shooting pains on and off all day... I am praying thast this is all positive. who knows we jsut gotta sit it out.. On last tmt my AF came the day before testing so if i get to testing without an AF i will have a lot of HOPE... I am feeling too yeuky to drive up to visit Adam this weekend...BOO HOO...but he is due home on Thursday for the test on friday, so it aint too far away to wait. I am fed up sitting andd lying around but feel so crapy that i cant get anything done...in bed by 7pm every night and awake at 6am every morn feeling so ill. Please don't think i am moaning but cause Adams not here i just want to sound off to you all hope you don't mind...

Hi

Kate glad to see that you have your appointment arranged for your new clinic. I have heard that the Essex fertility centre is very good but do not know anymore than that. 4th in the country is fantastic though. Good luck with sweeping it all out of your mind until 4th July, just get out and have fun and who knows what will happen.

Jen so sorry the pessaries are making you feel yucky, they are such horrible things but well worth using to get that BFP. The 9th June is my wedding anniversary so it will be a double celebration for us both. sending tons of baby dust your way. I see you are getting a puppy, any ideas what you are getting? Sound off as much as you like that is what we are here for, it cant be easy for you without Adam there, so please shout and scream at us if you want, its a shame that you cant shout at Sezer anymore.

Lucy you are in a similar situation to me my DH has 3 grown up children and a grandchild and I do feel that even though he is so so supportive he can't truly understand how I feel because he has got children already. I really hope you 2 can work things out, the IVF never lets us see things rationally. Once you get that BFP everything will seem so much better. Mission Impossible was good, but I think I am getting old because I wanted to tell them to turn the volume down. I’m sure people do not think you are a miserable cow, I bet you wanted to hit her. You are such a strong person, you have been through so much don't let them get you down.

Liz my rabbit is gorgeous, my little fur baby! He is making the most of the weather at the moment and out side sunbathing along with the cats, think I will join them shortly. Hope you hear about your funding soon. Good luck with the HSG, I had one years ago. You did amazing on your run, that is a brill time, good for you with the aerobics as well, its definitely good to keep busy. Hope the workshop today is good. Hope DH's Dad is ok, it cant be easy for him especially living 100 miles away, give your DH a big hug. Bet that hen night will be a right laugh!!

Lola I am a Morelli girl definitely, Ranger scares me, if he crept into my bed at night I would probably have a heart attack!!!!!! Have you any idea what the low abdo pain is? Doesn’t it always seem like one step forward 2 back. sending big hugs to you. When is your next exam? (ignore that I have just looked at the list) have you had the results of your other one yet?

Julie Well done with the no smoking, you are doing so well. Apples is a strange addiction!! a good one though. What Crap timing with your job, may take your mind of the treatment though, hope the job all works out ok. Smudge is gorgeous a very cuddly rabbit. I cant believe that over 90 % voted Sezer out, how many times did you phone!!!! I want Leah and Nicki to go soon.

MLG yummy mummy hope you getting a lovely bump now, bet it still hasn’t sunk in properly.

Nicki hope you had a great holiday, where did you go? Not long until its your turn.

Jen, Lucy, Liz and Julie thank you all for not making me seem like an evil person. I found out on Monday another friend has fallen pregnant, she has been trying a year so I do feel happier for her, even though I did think 'why not me'

I am sitting here patiently waiting for AF to arrive, got lovely pains at the moment but that’s about it. My Clomid which I take from Day 2 - 6 arrived this morning so just waiting for AF bless her!! I never have a 28 day cycle so cant imagine this month will be any different. The odds of this cycle actually being completed are not high but I just have to cross everything that it will work. it’s a bit of a bonus cycle as we weren’t planning to do anything until a fresh cycle in September.

[Jeni Babes]

Hi pheonixes...

Gail doing an AF jig for ya girl while sitting down ( ovaries so sore and tummy too icky to do it standing up) thinking of ya as it's not long now to little frostie is home and embedded...it's a bonus your right but a good one.

Nicki are you home yet???? How was your holiday and where did you go?
Welcome home girl...we missed ya...Bud

The sun has come out here today so i am off with my jelly belly and nauseus bod to lie in our hammock... maybe rocking back and forward aint such a good idea...think i'll just lie on the grass...have a good weekend

[NickiMark]

Hi every one, I am back from hols, had a lovely time but now suffering with the after hols blues, dh going on stag night to night and me feeling lonely...

We went to Ireland, it was lovely!!! and guess what we both got sun burnt!!
I prepared for rain and packed water proofs etc... and had sunshine for 7 days!!!! and its still sunny here in good old England!!!!

I missed home, especially my bed!!!! But yeah we had fun, and have over 200 photos to show off now!!!!

Anyway, I am whacked, some how sitting ona plane does that to ya, and I have heaps of washing to do now too.......

Love to all, and hey my iui cycles starting soon, it's 24 days away...ticker is slightly wrong now because of AF coming late by 2 days, but hey 24 days till that AF starts and then 25 days for first clomid take!!!!

Hi Girls

Hope you've all been enjoying the scorching weather....?

Nicki - Welcome back, glad you had a lovely time and came back with a beautiful tan.? You sure brought some of that gorgeous weather back with you.! You'll have to post some of your pics on photo bucket. wow 24 days until iui......... this is the one for you sweetie.!

Jen - Hope you and your icky tummy enjoyed the sunshine, uuummm lying in a hammock in this weather sounds lovely - I had to do with a lounger, but still nice and relaxing.! Just 1 more week to go, I know the waiting is awful but it will be worth the wait when you are celebrating a BFP... (Which you are definitely going to be doing) Hope the medication helps with the nausea.!
So then BB, I am like you, I didn't like sleazy seazer but I wanted him to stay because I know they might of been a lot of arguing and maybe a lust triangle... I think someone else goes in on Monday night, let’s hope it’s a guy worth watching eh.? Take Care sweetie

Lola - I am going to do another cycle in Oct, if it was anything to do with me I'd be doing it now but docs and my boyf say I need a break. Hope its not all work no play - it will be all over soon and you'll sure pass with flying colours... You Take Care.

Julie - CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NON SMOKING - I AM PROUD OF YOU GIRL......... You do right in treating yourself with the refund.. I hope things get sorted with your job, having similar probs with my work place, we are in the middle of merging and possible redundancies may occur (last thing I need) I hope your boss can sort things out.!

Gail - Not long now until you start tmt - Got your wedding ani to look forward to then it'll be tmt...!

Hi to everyone else.!

Have any of you heard anything about the CARE fertility clinic, I heard on the radio yesterday that it was the best clinic in the UK, it had the highest success rate. Think I might contact them to see how much they charge.

Take Care everyone
Lucy

[gailp]

Thanks Jen for the AF jig, in your condition to! Glad you were sitting down. Its not worked yet though. I hope you and your jelly belly enjoyed the hammock yesterday.

Nicki glad you had a great holiday, nothing like your own bed though is there!

Lucy where abouts is the Care clinic?

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

xx

[luby]

Hi Gail

They have clinics in Sheffield, Manchester, Nottingham and there are two other ares but can't remember....

I have order some info from Manchester clinic. I'll let you know what I think.!

Lucy

[souris]

Hi Gail,


I am not sure if it is you, but I remember reading a post talking about the moon cups? I think it is a great idea and if my next cycle fails, i will get one! Have you tried them yet?? Does it work well??

Take care
souris'xxx

[gailp]

Thanks Lucy, fingers crossed that they are as good as they sound.

Souris yes it was me that mentioned the mooncup, I really didn't like the look or the sound of it however I used it for my last AF and it was really good, no leakages at all (sorry TMI). It looks huge, but I didn’t even feel it when I used it. I would definitely recommend it.

PMA you will not need it when you get a BFP. What stage are you at, at the moment?

[NickiMark]

Hi girls!!!

It's only me!!!

I am so looking fwd to the next cycle, I so want it to bring us a BFP. fingers crossed for me please.

Anyway, just checking to say hi and I am still here, sorry I dont seem to post as much as I used to and keeping up with it is a full time job but girls, I do care and I am here I do read up when Ican, sending ya all loads of baby dust xxx

[Kate21]

Hi Girls,

Been pretty naff at posting recently, but I have been keeping a check on everyone!

Nickie - glad to hear you had a fab time in Ireland, obviously had better weather than we had here! DH and I are hoping to go over there in the summer to visit friends - where abouts did you go?

Jen - how you doing? Hope you're not feeling too sick and yeuky. Not long now until your BFP - sending you loads of PMA and baby dust

Lola - how's the studying going? You have so much more will power than me. I started a masters degree a few months back and never managed to get the first essay in on time!!! Think if I'd done it straight from uni it wouldn't have been too bad but leaving it nearly 10yrs....just couldn't get my head round it!! Keep employing avoidance tactics!!

Julie - congrats on the no smoking front. Apples?...better than chocolate I suppose (even if it doesn't taste as nice!!)! Good luck with the job front. Why is it things never seem to go smoothly when tmt starts? Bloody sods law!

Lucy - I know what you mean about DP having kids and not really understanding how we feel. My DH has 4, the youngest being 6 and who we have quite frequently. I know he desperately wants kids with me but he doesn't quite understand how desperate I feel sometimes. I tried to explain to him that all the things he does for Jess (DD) I will never get to do, go to parents evenings, see my child in their first school play, watch them compete at sports day etc. He did then kind of get it but not completely. I suppose once you have a child the desperation kind of goes slightly.

Liz - hope Dh dad is doing ok? Excellent news on the running front, I wish I could run I just get soooo bored!!! You have inspired me to start exercising again tho, so as from today I will be back in the school gym pushing some weights and toning up to look fab in the summer!!!

Gail - how's things? Know what you mean about friends falling pregnant. I found out one had after a year of trying. I was pleased for her, but at the same time I did think 'why not me?' Just keep the PMA going, we will get there one day.

As for me I'm looking forward to the new clinic and starting tmt. I'm hoping they will allow me to start immediately (July or August), which means the majority of the tmt will fall during my summer holidays. It will m ake life sop much easier and I won't have to keep lying about having time off work! Apart from that I have just been relaxing, unfortunately I am back to work after the half term break which was a bit of a shock at 6.30 this morning when the alarm went off!!! Thankfully its only 7wks to the summer holidays!! Got lots planned, having a bbq on the 15th for the England v Trinidad game - DH is Trinidadian so we thought we'd have a bbq to watch Trinidad lose miserably to England!!!

Hope everyone is doing ok?

Kate

[Julie2039]

Morning Gals!!!!

What a GORGEOUS day...too nice to be sat in a muggy office.

JEN - How are you girl? Hope ok and getting plenty of rest. Must be rubbish feeling sick all the time but will be worth your while! Not long to go now. Glad Sezer went....you've no need to worry about lack of arguments with four-faced Grace in the house!!

NICKI- Welcome back!!! Looks like you brought the weather back with you too! I have everything crossed that your next cycle will be your last.

GAIL - How ya doin? Has AF arrived?? Hope so and the injections are ok. What a result on BB. I have to disagree re Nicki going tho....she is totally annoying but soooo funny. Lea has well slipped in my estimation after last nights episode but I would love to see Grace fall on her arse next!!

LUCY - Have you enquired re CARE? I know of three girls treated at CARE in Manchester and they come highly recommended. They have all done egg share there to make the cycle cheaper. 2 positives, 1 neg....Think its £600 IVF cycle and an extra £500 for ICSI. Work still crap for me, hope yours gets sorted too soon!!!

KATE - Glad you are happy with the new clinic. Hope all goes to plan and you can start in the summer. Can imagine it makes life so much easier when you don't have work to answer to. Wish I had 7 weeks off to look forward to. As for the apples. because I am an "habitual smoker" rather than a nicotine addict I decided to have a bag of fruit in my car when driving to munch on when the urge takes me. Would prefer chocolate tho.....

LIS - How are you hun? How is your dad-in-law? Hope all is ok. Good luck with the HSG. Got everything crossed it is the right result. You can celebrate on the hen do. Have you warned Dunoon you are going??? Lol!!!

LOLA - Hope you are doing ok and your studying isn't taking it's toll. Hope you are taking some time out for yourself and you are not going too insane!! I admire you - studying is defo not my thing!!!

Hope everyone else is ok. HUGE amounts of babydust and PMA to JEN.

Catch ya later xxx
