The WIMBEWAI(N)F Club - Only a few more to find!

Belated Christmas to you all ladies. I know I've not posted on here in ages (sadly, because of Bucky leaving MN I think this thread is kind of dormant now...) but I do think of you all often. I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and here's to a wonderful 2010, with particular wishes that everyone still waiting gets their BFPs.

I'm just back from Ireland and am properly knackered and feeling very big. And know I'm just going to get bigger [sigh] but am also getting excited about meeting the baby now. I'm 31 weeks, so on the countdown to finishing work at 36 weeks.

Right, off to unpack and get to bed (have to go into work tomorrow and am two weeks into a head cold that just will not go away!).

Hey Mibbes, DS is coming up to 16mo now. Very cute, but also very cheeky, and permanently teething (poor little monkey).

We were casually ttc till I had an early mc, which coincided with us co-sleeping with DS. So now we're having to be a bit more calculated about it.

How are you getting on with your little one?

And MrsHappy how is your little dd?

Caitni you must be properly huge now?

ei hope you're doing well too. I had a lovely Christmas. Was much more fun with toddler, despite his impatience with opening the many presents he received.

So sorry to read that it didn't work out for Bucky.

hello ladies, I was having a nostalgic nosey around the conception threads and decided to look up my old buddy Bucky. I am so sorry to hear what has happened, sounds like you have been through the wringer and now this . My heart goes out to you and I wish you all the best for your future. Maybe you will feel up to trying again one day but either way am sending big hugs xx

DG how old is your wee boy now ? He must be around 15-16 months ? The last time I popped into this thread you had decided to start trying in a relaxed fashion - as if there is such a thing ! Good to see you are back on board - you are a braver lady than me !

Hello to everyone else, am off to read back a bit more and catch up with you all, just wanted to post for Bucky when I saw her post.

hey guys
just thought i would pop on to say a massive MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all just in case i dont get a chance to say it before the big day
loads of love to you all and i hope you all have a great day with the family
xx ei xx

That is sad news bucky, we'll miss you. I'm not on facebook but I'll email you so we can keep in touch.

Hello ei, how are things with you?

oh bucky so sorry to see you go i hope everything works out for you and you do get your much longed for sticky BFP and baby xx keep in touch xx you have my numbner if you need a chat/rant xx

Thanks for everyone's kind thoughts.

I'm officially leaving MN now, so please everyone keep in touch on FB. I probably won't be arranging a meet up pre Xmas if that's ok, but by all means go ahead without me.

JB if you are on facebook email me [email protected] so we can keep in touch.

Thank you all for all the support and for allowing me to make some amazing new friends. See you soon in RL probably.

Love Bucky xx

Oh no, Bucky. I'm so sorry. It's just shitty and unfair.

Oh bucky I'm so so sorry. Take care >

Oh Bucky so so sorry to hear this . It's just so unfair. Thinking of you and sending you massive cyber [higs]

Oh bucky, I'm so, so sorry to hear that. Lots of love. XX

Oh bucky so sorry to hear you're bleeding. Please take care of yourself.

oh bucky have you spoken to your clinic? did they give you progesterone? i have heard that helps in the early days of IVF pregnancies. im so sorry this is happening. you deserve to have such a fantastic pregnancy and a beautiful baby at the end of it...not this shite all the time(excuse the french) im so sorry xx

The bleeding is really heavy now. It is 14 days since the trigger so it should be out my system now. I will guess it was just a CP...this is like my second BFP...so pretty sure it's over. .

That's it for me I'm afraid. I'm out. Had enough. No more ttc for me.

Now Bucky, do you not have to wait until Friday to be certain that the trigger shot is out of your system?

Don't worry about the spotting - I am sure that all sorts of strangeness can happen with IVF (or indeed any pregnancy). I guess on Friday you'll know for sure.

Fingers crossed.

MrsH official test day is Friday but of course I tested today. It was a BFP, pretty clear BFP, but I have had cramps all day and some spotting so far, so not overly optimistic right now ....

Just waiting to see if AF turns up proper...

Welcome home PnM we missed you loads. xx

Evening all

PnM welcome back Mrs! Did you have fun in China? I bet your DH was pleased to have you back - it feels like you've been gone for an age!

Bucky when can you test? Don't worry too much about being busy at work. I kind of think that if it is going to work it will IYSWIM.

Caitni were you shopping around my neck of the woods on Saturday at lunchtime? I thought I saw you when I was out with my rabble. If it was you the bump looks fab!

DG the new job sounds like excellent timing. Just think, when the ttc works, it'll be so much easier going on mat leave with some mat pay coming in...

Hello to Ei, JB, GG (if you ever lurk), MOB and anyone I have stoopidly forgotten. I have to go to bed now because I am pretty tired. DD2 is so sweet but work too. DD1 is being a lovely big sister, which is great to watch. Hope everyone is well.

Hello everyone!

i apologise for not being around, been all over the ,place recently....

Just wanted to pop my head in but am just off out again now so it's just a post and run job to tell you I love you all and will be back to actually write something worthwhile soon.

PnM xx

hey ladies
DG welcome to the obsessive TTC side of the fence hope you are feeling well
bucky how are those beans holding up? hopefully, depending on when you lot fancy meeting up, i will be able to attend this fabulous event me and DH were thinking about taking a little overnight trip and i have a cheap offer for a hotel room so i might figure out a way that i can orient this overnight stay with the meet up
hi to everyone else
xx ei xx

OK, I will do a FB invite thingy...hope I have more success than last time ladies.

Hi ladies, how's the 2ww bucky when are you supposed to test?

Christmas meet up sounds fab.

Have a job lined up to start mid-jan. So my compensation for not getting pg this cycle will be the distraction of having a regular job and being an employee again.

Oh dear, sounds like I've fallen off the 'casual' ttc wagon and straight into the pit of obsessively planning bfn distractions.

Hello everyone,

bucky So sorry not to have popped in before, I've been thinking about you. The 2ww must just be agonising. Being busy at work should keep you occupied but make sure you let your DP spoil you when you get home.

I'm up in Lancashire (thankfully not Cumbria, poor people), so your wonderful sounding dog lady would have been a bit far. Thankfully my mum found someone to take the dog. She now has a home where it is just her and her new owner and is doing really well.

I'm glad everyone is well, 2 weeks to the wedding R4n2! caitni You must be getting a lovely tum on you now. I really want to catch up properly, I'll bob in one evening this week. Work calls, sorry!!

Morning ladies

Bucky being super busy at work sounds like a great way to get through the TWW (MOBs right that it's really hard mentally). I'm still super excited for you and your two embies . Would LOVE to meet up - let me know the date and I hope I can make it (currently stressing about how little time I actually have left before Christmas . When I am going to be able to buy presents??)

RFN2&3 less than 2 weeks to your wedding - woo hoo! Very excited for you

MOB I remember your tww illness - LMAO at worried you had coughed them out! Bet you look at them now and laugh about things like that . I'd also love to meet you properly at the meet up (feels like I know you of course so strange when I remember that we've never actually met ).

Big waves to everyone else. I'm swerving between being comedy busy at work and just not caring enough to be bothered! Roll on the weekend (and it's only Wed ).

xxx

OOH! Yes please to a meet up!! I really, really hope i can make it this time

Bucky I think the 2ww is the worst bit of IVF, but it sounds like you are busy ATM, so hopefully that will help a little. Try not to worry about stress etc. I'm of the opinion that once they're in there, that what will be will be. I was really ill on my 2ww, and had a horrendous cough - I was absolutely convinced that i had coughed them out!!

RRN2&3 You must be geting very excited about the wedding!! Don't get too exhausted with everything going on though - hope you get a rest at some point over Christmas.

Love to everyone. XXXX

Um I didnt mention PnM but only because it goes without saying that she is invited
