Congratulations Hester - an inspiration to everyone

MommyD · 11/11/2004 21:10

(((())))) big hug for jeddah from MommyD!

velcrobott · 11/11/2004 21:12

You can understand why it was your DH's suggestion to BD more often... he's won the lottery
Now if that doesn't get you pregnant!!!
BTW - do you put a cushion under your bottom after BD?

MunnzieB · 11/11/2004 21:19

velco.. does it help to actually BD on the pillow, or just after, we've had it there all the time, or is that the wrong thing, (apparently it promotes his dudes to 'get of the bus a few stops down the line') as he likes to term it!

MINNIE1 · 11/11/2004 21:22

i was going to ask DP to build somthing from the ceiling to my hips and hoist me up... but he would have though i was off the rockers..

Hulababy · 11/11/2004 21:49

Congratulations Hester :D :D :D I am so so pleased for you!

Not had chance to catch upp today - so much here! LOL. Will find time tomorrow. I am on CD10, but sure I had EWCM last time and this morning, although no tmemp drop and a bit early. I'll have to see what happens in next day or two I guess.

hester · 11/11/2004 21:53

jeddah, I am sending you such huge hugs. I'm really sorry that you're having a rough day; I know just how that feels. Please don't read from my story that it is like to take you five years - that WOULD be scary! I took five years but not continuously, because I have been doing home insemination and kept having to find suitable donors and that took most of the time. I have actually inseminated around 21 cycles, and this time round for 10.

I remember reading a big research study once that said that most 40-year-old women who keep ttc for two years will get pregnant, without needing to resort to IVF. I was probably towards the end of that continuum because I was doing home insemination, which is generally a bit less effective than BDing the natural way (because you don't get as many goes, and the sperm isn't going immediately in, and so on). I am sure it will happen for you far, far quicker. I'm not meaning to sound patronising - I know how very, very painful it is to feel that your 'chances' are running out, that you are racing against the clock - but i do want to stress that the odds are still on your side. 41-year-old women can and do get pregnant all the time.

I do so hope you get your miracle soon, jeds. You've been so brave, and it's so agonising. I'm sending you huge hugs and all the babydust in the world. xxxx

girls no posting for me for the weekend as I am off to my sisters. I am back sunday

Have a nice weekend!

runtus · 12/11/2004 08:27

Hi all, and how is friday treating everyone then? I have massive meetings all morning (yawn) but have just heard that my MD went and got totally trolleyed last night in front of clients, so it should be pretty interestig to say the least.....Still waiting for af to put in an appearance (cd35) but as it has been anything up to 40 days before, I guess I could have a long wait.

Sorry you're feeling poo Tania

Off to see Bridget Jones on Sunday, dinner out first and then popcorn - hooray!

Hulababy · 12/11/2004 08:43

Morning all. CD11 (I think!) here. Temp not gone up or anything yet, a few more days till OV day I think.

Had a fab MN meet last night - at the Spa near me. Lovely place and so relaxing. Well, the 7 degrees plunge pool wasn't that relaxing, but the experience of it all was. LOL!Still feel good today after it.

runtus · 12/11/2004 08:48

ooh I could just do with a spa break!

MINNIE1 · 12/11/2004 08:51

Tania,
{{{{hugs}}}}} men have no idea what we go through really do they!!!! Hope your feeling better today..

hulababy,
Your spa sounds so temping i might just do that this evening instead of getting a take away and DVD.. I know i really need to get a life!!! BUT IT'S FRIDAY.... yippeee

CD22 for me and time is going soooo slowly... Nearly did a test last night for what reason i don't know just though i would get a BFP!!! AF does'nt arrive till CD35!!!! nuts or what...

Hulababy · 12/11/2004 08:54

This is where we went - it really is just over the road from my apartment, so great. I have my hair done in the salon there, and my eye brows waxed there too. First time at the Spa though. Going to make it more regular I think. Can't go once I am pg anyway, so have to make most of it now.

runtus · 12/11/2004 08:56

Looks fab - very jealous now

I will no doubt join you in the take away club however.....

Sallie · 12/11/2004 09:03

Bibi - best of luck with the persona - but lets hope you don't need it!!! When are you testing? I am on cd30 and still no sign of AF although have gone spotty which is usually a good indication that she is on her way. Starting to feel down about the whole ttc thing even though I have no right to really as have two lovely kids already.

MINNIE1 · 12/11/2004 09:04

o hula, that is somthing eles.. fab or what... your a lucky girl, i would have to really look to find any place like that...
