been ttc #1 since forever...

[nomoremagnolia]

Feeling very fed up with failing every month and wondered if there's anyone in the same boat? It's a lonely boat on a journey to nowhere at the moment, but if anyone else wants to join me, some company would be nice

Bloody hell . I am so sorry Rah, big hugs. Gutted for you

Hi, can I join you all please? I am on Cycle 9 and am getting very bored of BFNs, although I realise that many people have been waiting much longer than me.

You look quite friendly

We are lovely Bucky Get in here and chat with us . There is not limit to how long is too long... as soon as you start to feel down about it, it's been too long

no limit... not... not limit

Wow,£1,600 that's worth knowing . You would never know it to look at me, but my father is Indian so I have dual nationality. I have never been to India though and grew up with my mother so have very few points of reference about the culture. What I do know is that as you say, education is high on the agenda in India and as a result medical services are unlikely to be bad (of course the i suppose would depend where in India you were )

Hi Bucky welcome to the thread
Hi Gilly and everyone else too.
We've been referred for IVF (1 cycle on the NHS) so I'm a bit in shock at the mo and trying to get my head round it all, so if I'm a bit quiet you'll know why!
Rah

Thanks for that Gilly I was given the same link from the hospital, they obviously can't afford to print it out for me! I have asked for a copy to be posted to me, 50 odd pages is too much for my printer!

Ok, somehow this thread has fallen off my ?threads I am on? ? I thought I had set it for 7 days? Most miffed.

Anyway, time for a quick catch up before I do some ironing ? the thread has been awfully quiet? what?s going on everyone?

Rah, thinking of you petal, hope you are ok? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Hugs

Nomore, thinking of you flower. Hope you are ok? Totally understand why you might not be in the mood for MN at the moment, so many things in your head I suspect. Make sure you take plenty of time with dh and lots of tlc. I so hope that you don?t get to the IVF stage, but if you do, I hope it comes quickly and is a great success for you. Hugs

Speaking of IVF? Coggy WHERE ARE YOU? And more importantly, how are you doing?? Fingers and toes and everything possible crossed for you!!!

Gilly, that is some serious knowledge on India you have there girl You most certainly didn?t kill the thread ? how could you!! How are you doing? How is your job? Has it improved lots? Hope so.

LondonLottie, where did you go??? Hope my still being here didn?t put you off

How are you Bucky?

Rattling, I know I see you on the temp thread, but get back in here

Herby, you ok? Very quiet?

Kd, hope you are lurking flower, and doing well?

Bonnie? Orchidgirl? Jess?

Oh? and BIG WAVE to Choc if you are lurking. Thinking of you often

Girls? I have had my job interview? should hear whether I have been selected this week? fingers crossed for me please

I had an Indian head massage yesterday, omg how relaxing was that!!! And the most bizarre feeling too ? I went all warm and all my fingers felt stiff and needed clicking. My therapist said she could feel lots of tension, no surprises there. But I felt like I was floating afterwards. I didn?t do it for any ttc reasons, although I kind of wanted to test the water with the therapist as she also does reflexology. Basically I didn?t feel comfortable talking to her about ttc, as she is a family friend, so decided that I won?t go to her for reflexology. But the introduction to holistic therapy was good, it made me feel certain that I want to try reflexology and cranial sacral therapy ? so need to find someone in my area now.

Now I've killed the thread

Hi Ready...I'm here.....
Had visitors for several days, then fell over and hurt myself and now just plain fed up with injections!!

There's a brief synopsis of the past week or so!!!!

Your treatments sound luvverly. I am !!

Going for a scan on Friday to see if my drugs are doing what they should be doing.....no news 'til then I guess. I just hope it will all be okay..........

I'm here too
Haven't been on MN the last few days as we found out on Fri that we're being referred for IVF. Have been trying to get my head round it (still am to be honest). Waiting to hear from wherever we have been referred to so little we can do at the moment except wait and read everything we can find about IVF!
Am following you with even more interest now coggy (if that doesn't sound too stalker-ish )

phew. I didn't kill the thread.

Coggy, big day Friday then, exciting!! Of course for you it is probably more apprehensive. Fingers and toes crossed for a good scan that shows all is doing what it should be. Soooo hopeful for you.
You know, Choc, and you and potentially Nomore are doing lots to get me over my phobia of IVF. When I see how brave you are about it, I do realise that I am daft for being so phobic (still getting cold sweats just typing about it though )

Nomore, I can only imagine what must be going on in your brain right now. A million questions... what-ifs hows whys wheres whens. Definitely recommend some holistic therapies - if for no other reason than to relax. I hope it helps to have MN at a time like this, more than ever I would have thought - there is plenty of knowledge to tap into. Big hugs.

I did a workout yesterday for the first time since before Christmas - and I felt so energised. Today I am a little stiff and clicky, but I have got the bug back, so hopefully by the time I turn 29 I will feel a little happier with my backside

Right... too much waffle.

Ready I'm starting a new healthy eating/exercise regime too - in order to give IVF the best chance I need to get my BMI down by at least 3 points - not too bad but my body doesn't give up its weight easily. Have also read that the IVF drugs can make you put on weight so it would be good to start with the scales tipped in my favour (pun intended )

Well in which case, maybe we should be health-kick buddies?

Sounds good to me but I warn you I'm waiting til after my birthday to start - can't see the point in dieting through my birthday celebrations

I had intended to have the weekend off being healthy for my birfday... I really want a cake this year. Wonder if dh will bake one if I hint ...

Shall I send you one in the post? I make a mean chocolate sponge with a fudge brownie filling...

oooooh yeah sounds delish!! Actually... can you send food in the post? Or am I being totally stupid for even entertaining the idea?

My Mum and Dad sent me a birthday cake in the post when I was at uni - my Dad even wrapped the candles in bubble wrap to stop them getting broken!! Expect it cost a bit to post though

Wow!! I thought you were joking - You are right, the postage would be mental wouldn't it. Tell you what... make yourself one, and then think of me when you eat it

That is soooo cool of your M&D to send you a cake.

I am having a really bad day today. Got a phone call to announce the arrival of a friend's baby (great for them , but you know what I mean...), got the results of DH semen analysis (not good) and AF has started when I really thought this month we had done it.

Got specialist appointment in a couple of weeks and I know they will push us towards IVF. We made the call last time we went through treatment that we wouldn't go down that path (I know many of you do and I admire you for it, but I don't think we are emotionally strong enough to do this). So we will be told there is nothing they can do for us.

God, this really gets to you, doesn't it.
