Horton I know exactly how you feel. I am trying to enjoy having one child, she does seem very grown up at almost but I am very happy to be her mum. Sorry to those yet waiting for this, I wish you all the very best, it is worth it so hang on in there. I know we have only one more cycle of IVF (with donor eggs) and we are now past the second month so hopefully we have just 6 months to go until we start (end of March) for an end of May finish! My brother-in-law is very asthmatic and so we can't have a hamster as he could never visit (he visits about once a year at the moment so no great loss!) Anyway, I was willing to suffer only seeing brother-in-law at his house if DD was really keen on a hamster but now she is not, I can't really go for it. My current dream is that I will get a job locally and be at home more and we will get a dog, an Italian greyhound or a west highland terrier, like this
or
I like the one in the cap!
Oh I am sad!
Rowing - mad alert, poor Lissy will be pregnant and trying to break out of the Moonies, break out of jail or break back into her house! I think I prefer the learn how to play the guitar option!
Rowing totally up to you but if you are paying for FET and can take it at any time then I would wait until you feel ready. No need to rush it, the eggs/embryos are already there, as long as there are no other complications then a month or two should not alter anything. How is your little one coping with the process, does he know anything about it? I have resisted the urge to tell DD anything about IVF because she would get all excited. She already dresses up the dolls and puts them up the table, on the sofa and calls them babies! Pressure! I feel sure my friend's hubby sent the text and anyway, I feel OK now, she deserves it. Is not that others don't deserve their babies; it's just that it stings a bit! If I ever get pregnant I am going to be so sensitive
Idreaminfruitandnut and BBI never saw the plastic sperm! I think the fertility show at about £30 or so was probably the cheapest part of our whole fertility journey, so I didn't resent paying for it! I am not sure I will go again this year but I might. Yes, you can look at anything like this as a place where they are trying to get money out of us, and the food was expensive so I think I would take a packed lunch if I did go!!!!!!!!!
Lissy what will you be up to in the states? I am a bit of an insomniac too! (Hence it is 2.00 a.m. BUT when I can sleep what really helps is a warm bath before bed, sends me right off to sleep! No TV before bed, milky drinks and maybe some nice lavender in your bedroom. Have you tried all of them together?
I did try the CD from Zita West; it was a kind of relaxation and let's make it happen by sheer will, for the two week wait! It didn't work for me and I think now I would not use it again as this time I am going to be very honest about it possibly not working for me!
Keziah all the best to you.
Loujalou Wow, 30th December, something to look forward to for after Christmas. I hope you get your cancellation before that. I think pushing for tests can be a good idea, but obviously once you are in the system it is easier, if things aren't happening quickly enough then I would just keep asking for cancellations etc. Good luck. Is this number 1 you are trying for?
Fell off the wagon a bit tonight n the snack department! Went a bit mad but luckily not as mad as I used to go. Having things in small packets helps. the big old grab bags are a disaster for people like me; small 20g packs are the way to go!
