So much catching up to do? I?m sorry I have not been about much lately, I have been busy with work, which is good because I was worried that it wouldn?t be challenging enough. My concern is that it?s only busy because people are off sick/on holiday ? but I am not going to worry about that now, but enjoy being busy, busy, busy!!
So how is everyone doing? How great is the weather?
Herbaceous, congratulations on your new job!! Perhaps this is the start of a wonderful run of good luck for you? ? Very intrigued as to which magazine? do you accept copy from freelance writers? I am doing a creative writing course at the moment, and it would be totally freaky if I will be sending manuscripts to you in the future. Eek.
Not sure what to tell you about your periods really, in my experience, as I have got older, my periods have got shorter ? but my mum said that the same happened to her, and it seems to be normal for some people. I usually have a couple of days of full on bleeding, then it slows down to light flow for the last 2-3 days, sometimes not a great deal.
EachPeach, how are you flower? I hope you had a lovely holiday? When do you see your gp? It?s great that your dh wants to go with you
My PCT only offers IVF, as a rule, it offers IUI in cases where patients have a strong issue with IVF, so it is something to think about. The only problem with that is, if I push for IUI because of an IVF phobia, I doubt that they would then let me go on to have IVF if IUI failed. Time is on our side though, we don?t have to make any decisions yet.
Nomore, big hugs chick! How are you feeling? Please don?t give up. You just don?t know what life is going to throw at you next. I totally understand what you mean about the cost of IVF. That is something that I often think, it?s a hell of a lot of money for something that has such a low % of working ? it is hard to swallow. Me personally, I am not sure I would be willing to pay for IVF privately. I might feel differently when the time comes, but right now, I don?t think I could. How much is IUI?
Rah, oh babe, it breaks my heart to see all the in your posts. I really hope that we all get our babies soon, we certainly deserve it. I hope that your IVF in September is a huge success ? it has to be!! Make sure that you are mentally prepared for it, just forget about everything and everyone else when you are going through the treatment and just focus on the goal of Baby Rah. I know that things are not proving easy for you and dh at the moment, but just remember you have each other, and that is the most important thing! Hang in there
Gilly, I am sorry that you overproduced eggs, and the cycle got cancelled - how are you doing? It?s good that your consultant is so thorough though, and good news about the good ovarian reserve.
When do you start your new job? All the best for that chick! I just know that you will be a great manager of your staff. I?d love to work for you! I always think that working for crappy managers makes you a better worker, and it will definitely make you a better manager!
Of course we know that you don?t begrudge others their pregnancies/babies, we get where you are coming from. Don?t beat yourself up for having mixed feelings.
Coggy, if you are lurking, hope you are well. Hope you had a fantastic holiday.
Has anyone heard from Chocolatedays, I am pretty sure she was due a week or two ago? and I really hope that all is well with her and baby choc.
Evergrounded and Lottie, Rattling, Kd? did we lose you all? How was your hycosy Evergrounded?
Who have I missed?
