exciting about cons. we only have 1 month of clomid left after this month, seeing cons in sept and going to discuss egg sharing, its really our only option, responded well to stims but cant afford private ivf without sharing.

EGYPT!! can't wait, was a last minute thing

lucygrif · 13/07/2009 17:11

oooh forgot to mention we are seeing an IVF/IUI consultant on Monday - for which we have to go private (due to DS) and they can't give us an exact price for this but will be between £100 and £250 plus any investigations they do at that time!!

OracleInaCoracle · 13/07/2009 17:07

hi lucy. where are you going on hol?

lucygrif · 13/07/2009 17:03

morning all

back on here for some support through the 2ww, CD24 today, going on holiday on CD34 (or CD3 if AF shows up) no symptoms whatsoever so far and I have a sneaky HPT in the cupboard to take next sun/mon naughty girl!! have really made an effort this month with BDing - think DP is getting pissed off now with BFNs so he keeps harrassing me until I give in!! so far, pretty much every day since day 5!! Fingers crossed!!

OracleInaCoracle · 13/07/2009 17:02

hello ladies, sorry ive not been about. have been very down and pessimistic and didnt want to pass onb my bad news. hope everyone is ok. on CD24 today and getting my craving!

Angelfifi · 13/07/2009 11:50

Hows pme these days, is jack ok?

nunnie · 13/07/2009 11:33

Oh Angelfifi hope you get the BFP soon you sound so low! Bloomin stomach bugs I am fed up with mine now!
Not always a bad thing not to know what CD you are on hun, sometimes it eases the tension to just take each day as it comes.

Hope AF comes soon cos these cramps are PAINFUL!

Angelfifi · 13/07/2009 11:27

Oh no nunnie hope af stays away for you.
Well i'm feeling a bit low today i have just seen a friend that is due in 2 weeks time and we were suppose to be pg together until i mc'ed. So just kept thinking i would be soon to have my little one but hence not to be, and not even pg yet Grrrrr.....
I don't even know when i ov'ed this month as we had a bad stomach bug when i was suppose to ov so not sure if i did then or was delayed, so havent got a clue whats happening with my cycle this month. I don't even know what cd i am on. I think i will give it 3 weeks to do a test if no sign of af, although i'm not giving out much hope!
Fingers crossed nunnie your symptoms sound good, lets hope its your month!

nunnie · 13/07/2009 10:42

Hello ladies, went camping over the weekend and lasted 3 hrs, I had the mother of all stomach bugs, so not really thought about anything else till today.

Symptoms same as above.

Also metallic taste in mouth

However cramps are here now so I am guessing the witch is coming and my body is just messing with my head as usual.
I only have one test and can't afford anymore this month, so won't be testing again for a while. On CD 29 of a 25-29 day cycle, but I have had a 30 dayer before so not holding my breath this month, the cramps are quite painful so must be AF.

Hi

No I'm not showing yet - but I'm bursting out of my swimming costume. I went to get a nwe bra on Thursday after my scan (thought it was safe then) and the lady in M&S wouldn't let me wear my old one out! I've gone from a 34B to a 38D - I'm in shock - I knew they'd change but this much and so fast! I had a scan done privately today to check nuchal fold - very active - forgot to ask for photos on disk though so can't post them - sorry.

Rene - maybe a back rub/neck massage to destress him - you never know where it might lead to

Angel beign ill can defintely lead to ovulation being delayed - i had flu in January and it messed up my cycle.

Sorry to hear that pme. Nunnie any further signs?

Clwc · 11/07/2009 01:27

Lol, Rene. Men don't usually take much persuading when it comes to night-time activities. I hope you figure something out.

pme So sorry. Wish there was more I could say/do. xxx

iate Well done with the smoking. I won't be lecturing you either, because cigs are my main vice besides chocolate (I only drink on Fridays, usually and I never got involved with drugs). We can't all be perfect! I have just started going to a gym though. Baby steps

It's way past bed time now. Good night all. xx xx xx

ReneRusso · 10/07/2009 10:56

Hi, hope everyone is well. I got a smile on the OPK last night so I should have a bonkfest starting tonight, but DH and I barely on speaking terms. He has been travelling all week and is so tired and stressed and crotchety. Any advice? Oysters for dinner?

Joycey29 · 09/07/2009 19:06

Hi guys! Great news Liskey!!
No I didn't find out the sex but I think it's a girl.
My bump is massive - people keep asking me when I'm due and I have to say November!!!
Don't know how to post pictures but will try and work it out.
Look after yourselves

proudestmummyever · 09/07/2009 12:45

Thanku angel , yes it is a vry worrying time

xx

Angelfifi · 09/07/2009 10:08

Just found this site from a different thread on here! Just to add to the confusion!! lol!!www.twoweekwait.com/web/early-pregnancy-symptoms.php?start_from=14&ucat=&archive=&subaction=&id=&

Angelfifi · 09/07/2009 10:01

Hi all,
How are we? I'm on the 2ww although its a week and a half now as i was suppose to ov last mon, but me and dh hasn't really done to much as we have had sickness bug, so not holding out for much hope this month! Unless i ov later because of being ill - hope so!
nunnie hows you, hope af has stayed away, anymore symptoms for you? Fingers crossed for you - when will you test again?
pme so sorry to hear about poor jack you must be beside yourself, hugs for you.
Hows everyone else?

iateallthecreameggsyummy · 09/07/2009 08:28

oh Liskey and Joycey how fab for you both!! Joycey did you find out the bubs sex?

Liskey after all your worrying bless you its great news! I hope your both putting some piccies up so we can all have a looksie! How are you both feeling?Joycey you must have quite a bump going on now? Liskey are you starting to show yet? Im waiting for that bump now i cant wait!!

An exciting day for all then! I got my nvq work thats meant to last me a month yesterday and completed it within 2 hours last night! LOL

Liskey · 08/07/2009 22:04

Hi Ladies

Hope your all keeping well and staying away from those tests till AF is due and then get the BFP you've been waiting for.

I had my first scan today - according to my dates I'm 12 weeks 3 days but the sonographer has dated me at 13 weeks and due date is now the 13 Jan. I cried when I saw the hearbeat as it was so different to last time but very strong and extremely active (wouldn't stay still for a photo - obviously takes after DH).

Joycey29 · 08/07/2009 19:03

iaatcey - So pleased for you - I know its not easy but small changes make a huge difference and you have just done the best thing you could - you should be proud of yourself!
nunnie - it aint over til the witch appears - I know how hard it is to not test - after all you were there when I caved!
As for me my 20 week scan went well and it's all feeling very real now!
Babydust all round!!

ReneRusso · 08/07/2009 17:01

Congratulations on giving up iate, I'm certainly not one to lecture so well done, and hope you keep it up. And good news also on your nvq, sounds like you're on a roll.

iateallthecreameggsyummy · 08/07/2009 12:34

pme - I will be in ntouch through msn, for any of you my msn addy is [email protected].

Nunnie sorry about your BFP but maybe its just a bit to early for you test again Monday but in meantime have a fabby weekend camping!!

Joycey wow 20 weeks already! Time really has flown by - how are you coping with everything?? I dont have any more scans now till 20 weeks but on a plus note thats now less than 9 weeks away only! Im 11+1 today

ok guys one more thing please please dont criticise me for this i am ashamed enough that i did it but proud enough to say today is Day 3 of no smoking! I just could not give it up even after what id gone through before so Sunday decided Monday would be the day! I am so ashamed that I did smoke and thought having given up the drink was a big enough step for me. I'm opening myself up here in a big way to admit dh and really did drink alot and so when we decided to start ttc it all happened so fast. Now i am not drinking at all,(stopped immediately when i found out i was pregnant) dh has cut down his drinking to literally maybe only drinking on one night a week and we are now smoke free! So will be giving my flat a thorough clean etc to finish of this big step in our lives!

Anyway hope you are all having a nice day! I have to go to my sisters in a minute and then to work to meet nvq man who has finally agreed i can do my nvq after telling me 2 days ago due to my pregnancy i could not do it! But all is ok and sorted out now after i expressed my thoughts against discrimination towards pregnant woman and told the company im having a baby not losing my brain! Go me!!

nunnie · 08/07/2009 10:18

I am so weak well as expected BFN, so thats me out for another month.
On the plus side I can drink at my 30th

nunnie · 08/07/2009 10:06

ReneRusso · 08/07/2009 09:54

don't do it nunnie. STEP AWAY now. You know it would be better to wait. Spend the money instead on a nice take away cappuccino and chocolate brownie What are your symptoms?
