Hi all,
Doll, lovely to hear how you're getting on. I love your laid back attitude, and your low key response to your bump! Hope the various arrangements go smoothly, or just go! I'm sure it will all work out, seems like things were meant to be if you believe in all that?
Lemons thinking of you and hope you're getting on ok.
Gin oh my gosh about you still checking the loo roll! I really hope you get to relax at some point, Buzzy too. What Euro said about the psychological scars of going through this seem so true, and an extra unfairness of it all. Old habits die hard I suppose, but you're both past major milestones now. Not long till they arrive!
Pout and Gin the scratch was done by inserting a plastic stick with a slightly jagged (but blunt) edge through a tube in the cervix - so like ET but rather than receiving embryos, getting a sharp short wince instead. The Dr that did it must have done similar procedures a million times, because the whole thing probably took 15 seconds!
Pout your take on Joys first hypno made me laugh. I'm jealous of you doing natural FET, they must rate your system! I'm doing a medicated one and start downregging next Tues. I'm nervous about it after all the talk on here about it sending people into black moods. I can't remember what I took last time.
Euro hope you had a fab holiday - i spent a couple of years in that country, one of my favourite places. So sorry about the significant date. It's so hard isn't it, and I agree about the next generation thing. I often feel like I've took a wrong turn and ended up on the wrong path and try as I might I just can't get back on track. It sometimes shocks me how much time has gone by. I haven't had an mc so can't understand completely but I too feel your time must surely nearly be here.
Rabbit big hugs, how frustrating - hopefully it won't affect the baseline tests too much.
Nelly so sorry for the wtf month - there's nothing worse. Hope you're ok. I agree there's every chance it will happen for you. Have you thought about trying another clinic for a consultation at least to get a second opinion? Opinions seem to vary hugely ime.
Lovely Joy! So great not just to hear from you but that you've been doing so many positive things - I'm very impressed you've turned it round from such a dark place to doing so much to help things along. You were so close,I really hope this just tips the scales in your favour. Great news about doing another round. Why are you keen on intrallipids instead of ivig out of interest? Your friend sounds thoughtless. I tend to think these days that blunt questions or comments deserve blunt responses, but it doesn't make me feel any better afterwards. Is it just because she's confident everything will work out for you therefore isn't worried about you? (clutches at straws)
Sea good news for getting started! Has someone told you to pinch a good bit of skin first between thumb and finger, either side of belly button?
Mrsden that's exactly how I feel about the being messed about with. I can deal with the drugs, the uncertainty, the thought of doing all this, but having to let strangers prod and poke my most private areas just feels emotionally like daggers in my heart. I hate hate hate it.
Welcome Absy, I agree that part where you go from normal person to one having to deal. With ishoos in this area, and accepting that its happening to you I found the hardest stage to deal with. The plus is that you know what you're dealing with relatively early on, and good on your DH for taking action! A lot of DH's need significant nagging to do stuff like that!
I too have had a shite day. A work thing didn't go we'll yesterday I don't think and have been brooding on it. Just in one of those 'I'm a failure at everything' moods. Think it is mostly fear and worry about starting next round next week.
On the subject of the royal baby, all I can say is my favourite coverage by far so far is Whoopi Goldberg
