Thanks for suggesting that I start this thread - its a real honour. Won't be leaving it yet as am only on cd24, despite getting bfps from the 3 tests I have done today (paranoid or what?!).
Lots and lots of babydust to everyone. If this pg is successful, I will have conceived in the midst of an awful cold so that should give everyone some hope. Lots and lots of hugs.....

((((Hester)))) honey. BFNs are the pits . I know you're in a difficult situation and this is probably really annoying but please try and stay positive. As Sallie says you know now that your body can do it so there's no real reason to think that it won't do it again. Are you saying 3-6 months because of the donor? Would you be able to get another one? (She asks, having no idea how these things work). Would DP carry on? Try and take each month at a time and not put too much pressure on yourself by thinking that you haven't long left. Please don't give up on yourself as you can bet that we're not going to give up on you!

hester - just noticed there's a thread on ttc and reflexology which may be of interest/use.

hester · 14/01/2005 15:45

Rudy, you're a love. I'm saying 3-6 months because at my age I think at some point I'll have to decide to move on, for my own sanity. It's not like when you have a dh and can just carry on making love forever, hoping that one day you may get lucky; it's an exhausting process to organise and undertake. Ask SweetFudge! (Btw, where is SweetFudge??) And yes, the donor won't be around for ever.

Anyway, I'm just feeling a bit sorry for myself because I just went to the toilet and guess who's here... But have decided to spend the weekend planning a really serious blitz on my health, plus getting hold of a reflexologist, and give it a really serious blitz for the next three months. There's no point being wimpy at this stage; if I have to bow out, it will be with all guns blazing!

Have a great weekend, lovey, and thanks for your kindness.

runtus · 14/01/2005 15:53

Hester - sorry you fell blue about AF arriving but you are doing well to concentrate on the positive aspect of the body blitzing, sort of doing the same in reverse myself (iei planning on eating and drinking shed loads on holiday and work it out when I come home!).

Have a great weekend everyone and here's looking forward to another exciting and 'possible' week for all of us.

See you Monday x

hester · 14/01/2005 15:58

And all of you lovely ladies (except for munnzie who doesn't need the encouragement) - have a good one this weekend. Thanks for being there.

RudyDudy · 14/01/2005 16:31

and not that scary at all, eh hester?

am off myself for now. will no doubt catch up over the weekend. Am childishly excited atm as am off to the panto tonight! The wonderful Sir Ian McKellen and Maureen Lipman in Aladdin - I can't wait!! Oh yes you can! Oh no I can't! etc etc...

RudyDudy · 14/01/2005 16:33

jeddah · 14/01/2005 19:33

Hester sorry about the old bitch! keep going woman ans I will!

Mun.....enjoy honey!

Sallie good luck love!

rudy hi I am a scorpio too!

Tan how are you??

Tania2 · 15/01/2005 09:09

Hi girls,
Just quickly popping in to see if there was any BFP.
Sorry Hester about that bitch arriving. Keep going girl. Just been reading some real sad stroies on the IVF Chat room about women that have been ttc for over 10 years and had years of failed ivf treatments too with unexplained infertility some have made the decision to stop ttc it just breaks your heart to read their stories. Made me cry and shit myself too.

Hula congrats on the ov+ fingers crossed for you this month.

Have fun Munnzie

Had my dates given to me by the ivf nurse when to start my first lot of drugs....very disappointed as it has put me two weeks back. Start the Synarel Spray on the 2nd of Feb then my first scan 1 week later to see if i have responded to the spray. Been on the pill since the 7th and have extreamly sore boobs, very tired, and bloated the pill just sux. Mind you i have been told that the other drugs will make me crazy, moody, hungry, fat, retain fluid and everything else that a woman hates. what we put ourselves through to have babies

Anyway enough of me really hoping for some BFP soon from you girls your the ones that are keeping me going i need to see some success stories.

Take care have a great w/end
LOL Tania

Hulababy · 15/01/2005 09:40

Good luck with it all Tania

Wifeof · 15/01/2005 10:27

(((((hugs)))))) everyone, hope you find some solace this weekend.

Just had to share my positive news with you - dh has agreed to get his wrigglers counted!! (He had mumps 4 years ago and we were wondering why nothing has happened in the 7 months ttc even though I'm almost 40) At least if it's bad news we can cope with it and move on. I'm so relieved, I was get desperate not knowing....

Sparkly - any news yet?

Wifeof xx

Tessiebear · 15/01/2005 10:38

Tania - havnt been on MN for about a month (computer broke) - just read that you are starting IVF - really hope it works for you - have got everything crossed TessieXX

marinda · 15/01/2005 10:42

Hi Wifeof- very similar situation to you - been TTC for 7 months and no joy! I am 38 years young and concieved DS (3.8) so quickly I did not have time to draw breath ! DH also having swimmers tested and I also have appointment with gnae quack next month ! Waiting for AF and already have symtoms!

Did a foolish thing last night - got so drunk and behaved badly ! Feel embarrased rhis morning when DH related this to me !

Love to you all

Fastasleep · 15/01/2005 10:58

Hey girls I'm sorry I've missed out on loads, no time to catch up at the moment! I've had a weird week, but but I'm here to say I'm on cd 1 as of today :O which means I'm within my normal cycle length, which is better than last months 46 day one!

I'll try to catch up later, after I've done some (ugh) decorating and eaten all my left over xmas choccy and had a bottle of wine lol, since there's no worrying about me being pg

I hope you're all feeling well and lucky! See you girls later

Fastasleep · 15/01/2005 11:00

(one thing I did remember from before you all gabbed lots - munnzie; I hope you're having a great time with your dh!)

Tania2 · 15/01/2005 11:30

Oh Tessie so good to hear from you hope you are well and keeping up with your waxing .
Thanks for thinking of me. You will have to fill me in on how things are going i have been lurking sometimes on your due in thread wishing i was there with you.

moschops · 15/01/2005 11:43

xxxxxxxxxxxx*

hi girls just popping in with some baby dust for you all. i'm feeling ok, less tired and nauseous than last week. after all the excitement of getting a bfp these last few weeks have been an anticlimax........

too many posts to read, but hope everyone is keeping well.

xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx

sparkly · 15/01/2005 20:07

The waiting is over for this month - AF arrived tonight At least I'm not waiting any longer and can start thinking about next month. I know this was only my first month of ttc but it seemed so long and took more out of me than I remembered it doing. DP is also away a bit next month so not sure if we'll get the right window of opportunity.

Hulababy · 15/01/2005 20:09

Sorry about AF Sparkly.

Tania2 · 15/01/2005 21:43

Sorry Sparkly
Best of luck for next month.

RudyDudy · 15/01/2005 23:11

well DH has abandoned me for MOTD (just cus his team one for once!) so I thought I'd pop by and check up on everyone...

sparkly - so sorry about AF. If it helps then I found the first month of ttc the longest as you seem to have massively higher expectations. I'm now into month 4 and I have found that the amount of time I go loopy for before AF is diminishing - though not helped by AF being later and later.

Hello moschops - thanks for the babydust . Glad things are going well and that you are feeling less sick.

Hope everyone else is having a lovely weekend

RudyDudy · 15/01/2005 23:11

*one??? sorry, should have been won

marinda · 16/01/2005 10:18

Jeddah, Hester I have started the old duffers thread - please browe and join if you like it !

littleweed · 16/01/2005 10:24

I am an evil horible woman. Have rampant PMs adn feel really under teh weather. AF was due last wedbnesday and hasn't shown which means my cycle is still really out of order after 4 months since teh mc. which means i can't start TTC again just yet as I don't know when teh right days will be. DH is away on and off for teh next few months which is pi88ing me off as that will proably coincide with the dates (if I ever have Af again!) Oh and a friend has just announced that she is PG and she;s still bf. I'm really pleased for her but I just want to throw myslef on teh floor, haev abig paddy and yell 'it's not bloody fair' at the top of my voice! sorry rant over will try and be nice rational normal member of society again now. LW

Hulababy · 16/01/2005 10:42

(((hugs))) littleweed. It is so hard, hang in there.
