[twinklestar2]

Over here ladies!

Massive congrats to NookNook!! Great start to the new thread.

brooker I want to give you a and a for being here for twink earlier xxx good advice

tame thank you but it's only what you lot have done for me. We're here to pick each other up when we fall. How about tins of allday breakfast

Tame - ottolengi paella, one dish - perfect for v small kitchen! Not quite risotto - but similar theme without the stirring.

Thanks for all the ec good lucks ladies - am off to bed to sweat it out till the morning. Like brook says - my chuff is an amongst old friends at the clinic so will be doing it's gorilla in the mist impression... At least I won't hear the ' omg - really she didn't bother' comments as will be fast asleep!

Off to bed now everyone. Thanks so much for your help and support today, I really appreciate it. Xx

Good luck for EC today Wim(awayawimaway) - just make sure your docs have got the necessary gardening tools to get through the topiary and I'm sure everything will be fine

Good luck for today wim, will be checking for news.of those eggs

Good luck Wim! Can't wait to hear how you get on!

Good luck today wim x

I'm really sorry to keep coming on here and bringing the thread down but I can't stop crying again today.

That's how I feel: overwhelmed. I wish I had someone to talk to in real life but I don't and nobody understands. Feel insanely jealous today. It's ugly to admit but it's true. I've rung my clinic and left a message to have a counselling session.

I'm just reading some success stories to boost me and then I'm going to go out and run a few errands. Thanks, I know I'm coming across as neurotic, I just feel so negative.

twink what is your main concern? I too felt overwhelmed and distressed in 2ww - my main concern was that it hadn't worked (I was wrong!) Counselling sounds like a good idea. Thinking of you lots. X

Motorcycle - same as you: that it hasn't worked and I'll never be a mum.

Hugs twinks keeping busy sounds good, there is no right way of dealing with things, but counselling sounds good, my acupuncturist is my salvation - I really would be stuffed without her as she is my sounding board and a great listener. Keep popping on here, there's always someone to offer you a hand to hold.

Oh twink I'm so sorry, love. Just giving you a gentle hug. It's such a big thing we're going through and I think fear of it not working is quite rational, especially as we've invested so much of ourselves into this process.
I haven't had ET yet, but I certainly lost the plot about 5 days after EC. I'm sure the huge amounts of hormones we've pumped into our bodies don't help our emotional state much either. I hope the counsellor rings you back soon. I think that sounds like a very sensible idea.

Well, I went through that misery, and it had worked and I am now 6 weeks pregnant. You have a great chance twink - try to be hopeful and positive. X

twinks btw, you're not coming across as neurotic. If it's any consolation, if you were skipping around jumping for joy that you were pregnant, I think we'd be more concerned you were being overly optimistic!

i just hope this being over emotional is a positive sign hey!

Winkle - if only you didn't live in sweaty London when I'm in Manchester, I'd come and talk to you IRL (well, only if/when they sort out how to get trains to run in a storm). This 2WW will be the worst ever but you'll cope, whatever the outcome. After my BFN in May, I genuinely wondered if I could ever be "happy" (whatever that is) again but I am now (well, sort of). Does distraction work for you or not?

Motor how're you doing? 6weeks, eh? When's your scan again?

Are you still there, Juicy? Personally, I can't be bothered with an online argument but that's cause I spend my working days "litigating" so am happy to agree with anyone about anything by 5pm. Well, apart from DH about anything, obviously.

If they call the bubba George, I will cry as it was Daddy's name. Yes, I am 42 and would still call him Daddy if he were here....

twinkle so sorry you're having a wobble. The drugs do not help one bit. I hope you get that counselling session as it sounds like to really need to talk this through. I know we are all doing our best for you on here but it's not the same is it hun? I'm not going to go over stuff I've already said here we go but you need to find a coping mechanism to get you through this (& that doesn't include locking yourself in a cupboard until the prince is 18!!) Jealousy is ugly (not you - the emotion) and you need to banish the fucker! Get looking at that list you & DH wrote together. Sending huge hugs. Xx
expat nice new name

Also forgot to say that loads of women find comedy helps during the 2ww. Get a funny DVD on or something that always cheers you up. It's supposed to be good for your little embie too. Xxx

Just a quick one as am collapsed on the sofa feeling very tired - 12 eggs!! Collected by a man who looked like mr Darcy - oh how I rued not doing the gardening! Gonna have a nap - will catch up fully later x
