December-January Cycle Buddy's Our New beginnings

ok, a little clarification. I was having a meltdown earlier. It wasn't that what happened this wk was so bad (that is why i edited my entry... that's why, becky, you felt like you had missed something!...i realized it wasn't really about that), it was more that what happened was representative for me of how IF has changed my relationship w/her, and people in general. Esp people that at one point i have cared a lot about. I'm sure you can all relate. It is very painful. And very sad.

Don't get me wrong. This friend, although we were VERY close for a long period of time, is not (nor has she been in the past) very supportive of me and i should have written her off long ago considering the many things she has done (mostly non-IF related...i could go on and on but we would be here for days....literally). Her repeated insensitive comments re: my IF over the last 2 yrs, both in public, and btwn the two of us on the phone is just the icing on the cake, but also should be expected considering how well i know her. Although i care very much for her, she is picky, demanding and entitled (and calls herself "princess"). As i am writing this, i am wondering why the h@ll i even care anymore???? (it is a blessing that i don't have occasion to see her much anymore although we have many mutual friends). But that is not really what my meltdown was about. Its that i feel as a result of our IF i am distanced and isolated from people that i would like to feel close to.

On the positive side, I not only have you guys (who are sweet enough to pay attn to my rants), but also have a few very close, trustworthy friends that although may not have experienced IF, are supportive and loving. I am VERY grateful for this forum and you ladies. Without you, i do believe i would be in the looney bin . Thank you, thank you, thank you

Oh, and Becky.... she says one more IF thing to me, (i.e., her ever-famous...you guys just need to have more sex) and i am sending her "across the pond' to you!!! You may dispose of her "princess" a@@ as you see fit

hi sasslyn - your so called princess friend has no room in you life - "you guys just need to have more sex" - for crying out loud - I would have cut her out long ago - how insensitive can someone be.

I am feeling like I am on the edge - only 3 people know what we are doing and 2 are overseas. I desperately need to fix up a counselling appmt at our clinic to talk to someone but I can't get through - just spent 20 mins on hold and gave up.

Not looking good for me - day 9 of 2ww and AF is pretty much here- I am feeling crushed. What is the point of stuffing myself full of hormones for another 5 days - I just want them out of my system.

Thanks for being here everyone. Bec - I am so glad for you that everything is on track.

Yours, feeling sad Angie

[AuntyPebbles]

Sassy im so sorry IF has made such a big impact on your life i think it happens to us all you move to a different chapter and some people just dont understand...hugs to you

Bec did you mean the trigger shot the one that triggers ovulation?...sorry i was confused...but im so pleased your near EC woohoo come on you eggies

Angie sweetie what do you mean AF is pretty much here do you have all the Af type cramps or are you spotting?....im so sorry your going through this im praying its AF pains and things turn around for you

love Aunty

[Fed7281]

Sassy, I am so sorry for what you are going through with your friend. I can totally relate to that situation and I have found it easier to just avoid any serious type conversations. I dont really talk to my friend that much but when we do it is just a quick how are things and that is basically it. Sorry for what you are going through and I hope you feel better soon!

Angie, I am so sorry that you are not feeling well. I am hoping it is not AF coming and just some cramps which from reading others expirences seems to be quite normal on your 2WW. Sending you (((((hugs)))))) and baby dust!

Bec, YAHOO!!! I am so happy that things are moving right along for you. I am telling you this is your time. It would be nice to be able to get you BFP before Christmas! Sorry that work has been nuts. I can totally relate. Maybe that will help you keep you mind of the 2WW once you are on it.

Christine, Sorry that you were in so much pain. I am telling you motrin was the best invention ever! I am glad you are feeling better.

Vickie, Congrats on your start date! That is so exciting!

Well ladies that is it for me. I am going to watch a few minutes of TV then it is bed time for me. Catch up with you all tomorrow. Sending love., hugs and baby dust to you all!

[Angie65]

Hi ladies, I am so glad you guys are here. To find replies so soon is so comforting - feeling a bit isolated here down under!

sadly I have spotting - it's brownish mainly, but a tiny bit of red last night. Finally got through to the nurses and had detailed discussion about colour and volume - basically I have to stuff a pessary in if it goes red and although you shouldn't bleed on this particular thaw cycle, about 40% do. She told me whatever I do, not to stop with the drugs - I guess I knew that but it seems pretty futile...sorry to be negative - I will probably HPT tomorrow to prepare ourselves gradually.

Any BHP stories after spotting gratefull received!

Love A

HI all

just a quickie as i'm at work.

angie - you're in my prayers. i watched that dr winston programme yesterday and one of the ladies on there got her period but it was a BFP and resulted in a beautiful baby boy! so please dont give up hope!!

as from me - DH had his freezing yesterday. we have to phone friday after 2 to see about the results. we also filled in all the forms. i asked whether we're likely to get in for december and the nurse said no, its completely full. plus they are waiting for my DH's blood test results to come back for cystic fibr, etc. they were done weeks ago by a trainee nurse who put one of them in the wrong tube so they had to repeat one yesterday and we have to wait for that result. so the open eve we'll hopefully be able to go to should either be on the 10th jan or 17th jan. i hope its the 10th as AF shows around 16th/17th - not sure if we go to the open evening on the 17th whether we then have to wait for the af in feb??

anyway, thats it for now from me. just thought i would update you. sorry aunty!! (although i get to cycle with you - well, sort of!)

xx

[Angie65]

HI Shantala - you're sweet - thanks for those thoughts. I hope Dr Winston gets shown over here.

Good luck with hubby's tests - what a pain about the wrong tube - how frustrating for you. But at least you can enjoy Christmas and then get on with it in the New Year - New Year, new beginnings and all that. Have a lovely day. A

[nimble]

hello only me.... just a quickie, having a bit of a late start this morning but should get myself into work soon !!

Becky - change is always hard especially when it come to work - I hope that it gets better soon.

Sassy - I did read yr post and like everyone else says - she is not worthing having as a friend. I have found that in the last yr or so, you really find out who is and isn't your friend.

Angie65 - evening too you ! Please don't give up, I had some minor spotting and cramps and had a BFP - please try and keep positive - as Becky used to say - until the fat lady sings there is always hope.

Shantala - my M4 friend - hope yr hubby is ok. sorry that you're not going to make Dec - but new year, new start and new baby!!

Gbnut can't wait to see your BFP today

Carolyn hope the 2ww is going quickley for you too

Hope everyone else is ok - big hugs to you all - will come back later as hubby now nagging for me to leave the house.....yeeks!!

hugs

Hi ladies

Sorry, I've been rubbish as posting recently. So busy visiting my dad who's been ill and running around trying to help my mum out. I just haven't had time to have a proper read up but have had a quick scan and hope I can catch up as I go along...

Becks - so glad to see you're still posting - sorry about your job being cr*p! I am full-time and REALLY want to do part-time - I keep pestering hubby to let me do it by saying that at 35 most women have had a nice break from work to have their children and as I haven't I think I would like to take my maternity leave now by working part-time (hee hee!). Don't think he's going for it though! Shame...
Stick with it tho hun - its always horrible when you start a new job for the first couple of weeks. Hopefully you'll get used to it

Vickie - great to see you back my Sept buddy - and fab you have a start date thats so soon!!! I should be joining you the following week so we'll be buddies once again - wishing you so much luck this time around hun. We can do it together!

To everyone else wherever you are in your treatment - wishing you all heaps of luck. Lets get that good old PMA up for our Dec/Jan cycles. Wooo hooo!!!

As for me, I'm still bleeding whilst taking these flippin' BCPs. Dr reckons my body is just trying to have AF. I've only got to stick with it for another couple of weeks and then I finish my BCPs and hopefully real AF will appear and we can get this show on the road! Am more than ready I can tell you!

Had my first session of acupuncture this morning. She said my energy and pulse are very weak and she's not happy with that. So, she did a comprehensive session today to try and get my energy up ready to start. I have another couple of sessions booked prior to starting treatment and she says she will take advice on how far into treatment to continue with the sessions. Can anyone share their experiences of acupuncture with me? Would just like to know what some of your acupuncturists did for you.

Better get on with some work!
Speak soon

Just a quick little note to start the day...

Jaby I pray that you have a great transfer today and that your embies snuggle in for a long winters nap and stay where they belong for the next 9 months.

gbnut, here comes that BFP...

Angie65, I'm sending lots of PMA for you today. I can only imagine how scared you are, try to stay calm, we are here for you and are still praying for your BFP

Oh all you ladies on the TWW I have a message from my daughter to your embies. Ok lil ones it's important that you hang on tight to your mommy's, they really want you and they want to give you a place to grow big and strong. Mommy's are really great because they keep you safe and they teach you lots of good stuff. But you have to listen to them cuz they are the bosses, so please hang in there and you'll get a big surprise when you are born.

That is it for me, I have to get the little one ready for school and call the Dr as DH is still not good enough to go to work and i still don't feel good after yesterday. DH is thinking that we should not do this because of yesterday, but I am determined to make at least one go at this.

PMA to you all and Sticky Baby dust

Christine

[gbnut]
