Halloo
Be warned, I have a few cocktailios on board and feeling tired and emotional :?

Yes, I know, vibration soundy like a good one however, no. I have learned several things today which I shall endeavour to share with my homies,
1) Vibration is bad
2) Vinyl Chloride is bad
3) Cocktails are good
4) Nothavingachild still hurts when you don't expect it.
There - The World According To.

Caffeine - ahh, the black widow of desire. The roasted beans of up up up. There is a 12 step my sweet...
Love your stripper name - mine is Mitzy Leather, well hello Dr Leather, I have an itch I simply can't scratch...... :D

La Bra - the ever present Godmother of the Ober Cartel - you haven't posted on here for a trillion years, shuggah. The proof reading gig no soundy muy bueno - chuck it in and come back to Reino Unido!

You think Oct thread too exclusivo? I guess its just the rag tag unpregnant emergency sail ship of survivors, we've been through a lot together dudes!

OK, I'm off to watch CSI - there in lies the answer

Ciao bellas

Hi Buds

Well no house moving for me. Didn't get the house but i'm getting used to this disappointment lark, just seem to bounce back and move on. The owner then had the cheek to call me last night and said if the other people don't get their house sold or pull out then we can have the first shout--------bl**dy nerve of him eh? So back to the the property centre again to keep hunting but hoping the others have a house selling problem or go bankrupt and can't buy the house----that's awful eh? Who cares, i'm only thinking bad thoughts for a minute hehehe.

Anyway my AF finally appeared. I have been spotting off and on for a few days and getting some strange feelings in my ovaries, tum, wherever but there here. Good, i can now try to calculate when the Big 3 will start as long as the tuberoos stay put.

Big weigh in tonight again, hoping more lbs have left the love handles.

Loopy - Did you see what Carolyn said on the May dates. Their scared to join us-----are we that mad or scary or is it just you haha.
Not long to go until the exams, your will be fab.

Little R - Hope your feeling ok and you got a lovely big batch of eggs.

Steph - Caffeine queen of the Buds. I have to admit i was straight back on the coffee as soon as the BFN came through. Will aim to go back on the green tea for the next cycle but i then end up drooling as i walk past Starbucks.

Walshy - Hope you fine. We'll catch up with you soon.

Was working last night so away to catch up with Lost---more drooling over the Fox of loveliness.

Love Jen x

Howdy Doody Tubers!

Well, I have been waiting to post all day hoping that Littles would check in and I could give big ol thumbs up for her fabu-lo-so egg retrieval, but since she has pulled vanishing act I guess I will have to trudge on with fingers crossed... on pins and needles I might add (for extra guilt factor for making us wait)

Jen- craps about the house, sorry smarmy car salesman did not come through with the goods. What a little pest. He is stringing you along if you ask me. Send Demetrio over to work him over... ah Demmy- we haven't chatted about Demmy in a long time. What have you been doing with him Lulers? Locked away for safe keeping and playtime fun?

Lolanutter, Now to be known as Miss Mitzy Leather (that's classic fun by the way)- I luv it that yu had some cocktails, yet another effective method to avoid studying for life changing all important test! Your the tops. My new favorite drink is a freshly squeezed, straight from the herb garden mojito. Yowza, that's a mouth full of flavor right there. Am enjoying every minute until the countdown of May 24th.. dah, dum, dum.... If I can't have caffeine for now I will have spirits! The drink type, not the haunting ones.

Little- you are makin me crazy. I demand that you post right NOW!!!

Walshy- still crying over you sweets.

Camilla- all quiet on the Cams front?

So, what this crazy talk that people are afraid to join us? I didn't even know that girls wanted to join us and our crazy-wack ways. Although, we are a bowl full of fun, who wouldn't want to?

Well girls I have a few hours left to work then off to high intensity, butt burnin, sweat producin step class.... without the caffeine shot before hand I might add.... cry me a river......

Winks and Pinches,
Steph

Hey my favourites ladies.... :lol: :lol: Just a quickie as I am still pretty sore. I can finally sit up and write you.
Just got off my back after a few rough days. Luckily DH was around to be at my beck and call :wink:
EC went smoothly although very very painful and have been bedridden since. Nothing serious but compared to last EC, this was not a walk in the park. They collected 11 eggs, so we were pretty chuffed :lol:
On Day 1, we had 10 embies, but 2 were considered abnormal.... it's now Day 2 and we have 7 embies. I just hope they survive until Day 5, but I am not very hopeful that we will have any to freeze :oops:
I am trying to live in the now but am wracked with anxiety :cry:
Thank you for all you posts... not sure I got everything that is going on in your crazy heads :wink: :wink:
Miss all of you and wish you were here to chat with....

Sorry Jen about the house.... that guy, what a nerve! Virtual hugs... you certainly are bouncy. Congrats (I guess!) on your AF :lol: The countdown begins...
Steph, hope you're still wiggling your bod furiously...am dead jealous of your moves! Sorry for making you wait... am feeling guilty but too sore to really realise how I have let you down :lol:
Lola, glad to hear that you are enjoying life and knocking down some well-deserved poison :lol:

Much love... must go and lie down...talk maybe later...

Hugs and many thanks for your support :lol:

:lol: Just checking in to say hi and glad to hear from Little R.
Doesn't matter if you don't get any frosties lovely, just concentrate on the embies that fertilize.

Got mother over for tea, dh going to visit hospital tomorrow as he is having an op on his shoulder next wed, i'm on sleep-over tomorrow and then a hen night on Saturday.

Will be thinking of you all but will probably not get to the computer until Sunday. Busy, busy, busy.

Take care and have a good weekend :wink: .

Love Jen x

Woo hoo! 7 embies! I agree with Jemla, don't worry about freezing any - you won't need to because, yes, Miss R, I'm here to tell you that This Is Your Cycle! You will get blasts and they will stick - I am going to make it happen by concentrating all my evil super powers on Dubai Fertility Centrale. :D Despite the pain, keep us updated on their progress. You will be first of the rag tags to do it!!! I cannot wait to see your bfp - we'll be able to hear you cheer from all our various corners of the world - pretty flippin' cool, madam.

Jentry - sorry about your house bad news. The tide will turn soon on the luck front as the Third Time Lucky Liferaft gets a mighty push off from our Demetrio, buff and handsome after Striptease Workout with steph. Your scan is next month, right? Me and La Walsh are going to be the stragglers of the group - hanging around the back shouting are we nearly there yet? Though would be good to cycle again with you - after all, we're so lucky for eachother :roll: We'll be up the duff by the end of the year - care to make a wager?

Steph - hmmm, you need to slow down! Relax baby! Stop sturgeon chasing and chill out! Indeedo.

Righto, skylarks, I'm off to sleep with my textbooks under my pillow. That works, right?

Love beams comin atcha

Hello girls

Yeah, sorry for absence but seem to have been busy!

Little R - Good news, will keep everything crossed for your embies. It's quality that counts and I'm sure your embies are top notch. You just need enough to put back. Don't think about not having any to freeze, Lola is right - it's your turn. I'm sure you're resting, so top marks for you.

Jen - Sorry about house but you have to know that that wasn't the house then. Onward and upward! Have a good night out on Sat with your hens.

Love to you all. Hope you have good weekends. Will be thinking of you little R and your day to day wait.

Looking for embryo updates but nada! Hope they're dividing like well behaved little embies. How're you feeling R? Still sore? So I'm using my calculator head and anticipating a Sunday ET? Is that right?
You know, this is going to work - its so exciting! A Valentine baby :D
Stay positive young miss, you are at the helm of the Ober Success Raft, with Demetrio trying to catch a sly glimpse up your skirt - he bad boy!

How're my other bebebers? I feel sick! I think it is the nausea of stress and despondency mixed with too much Terrys Chocolate Orange... :(
I am thinking of having a night off the old bag study.... have SO much yet to learn though. I am reaching my blinking limit. Want my life back!!!!
Breathe.

I'll pop in later, y'know, for kicks :D

Love ya

My dear Octofriends,

Thank you for all your support and words of encouragement....you're the best :lol:
I don't want to whine, but I feel so tired, physically and emotionally... this wait until Day 5 is a killer..yes, Lola you are right, ET is Sunday at noon if all goes well.
Today DH left for Frankfurt so I got to call the embryologist :wink: .....we now have 5 embies, the other 2 have stopped developping :cry:
I am just praying now that we will have at least 2 for our Day 5 transfer. I have given up on being greedy..I won't have any to freeze.
I am so nervous.. but am also so tired and sore that I can't even muster up the tears. It's as if it's all happening to someone else...I've officially become a robot :wink: :wink:

Jen...really sorry about your house.... I honestly believe that when the right house for you both turns up..well you will be entitled to it :lol: :lol: ... much love..fingers crossed for DH's op...hope nothing serious?

Camilla...thanks for the support....yeah, I really hope I am lucky enough that this will be my last IVF... given the past few days, I don't think that I would be one of the survivors on the 3rd time lucky raft... sorry lasses...

Lola.... steer clear from the books....the more you know, the worse you feel :wink: Step away from the Terry's Chocolate..I love it by the way...send some my way :lol:

Thinking of you Steph.....

Much love to you all....

Little R :lol:

PS Forgot to mention my Mum is over and keeping me company...I have just initiated her to Season 1 of Grey's...she's complètement hooked :wink: :wink: :wink:

Walsh - back soon??

Camilla - how's tricks, bump-girl?

I am now full steam ahead studying - need to pass, don't want to do all this again - jeez. I am sitting amidst an ocean of papers - where is the life raft? More importantly, its Eurovision tonight :lol: :lol: sweet.

It's end of Day 4 and all I can think of is our embies and how much I want to see them tomorrow.

THANK YOU for all your thoughts and wishes... hope you've had a fabulous time Jen...rave on girl, you deserve some wicked fun! :lol:

Lola... be thinking of you...sending energy waves for studying.... you poor thing... soon be over... I have faith in thy brain :lol: :lol:

Lots of love to the rest of my pals...

Another quickie.... on my way to the clinic in 30mins.... I am feeling great :lol: and emotional about seeing our embies :lol:

We called the clinic very early this morning and they said 2 were looking good not blasts yet, but they should be by the time we get to the clinic...

Sorry for all the boring details...

Jen, hope that the hen party was a success and you got to let your hair down and paint the town red :wink:

Steph, so what are you up to this weekend? What are you going to watch tonight as no Grey's.... hope you're well. :lol:

Lola, sending you heaps of sunshine and hoping your brain cramming is coming along... :lol:

Walshy...thinking of you... :lol:
