been ttc#1 forever (and a bit longer) ....

[nomoremagnolia]

Thought it was time for a new thread - we're almost out of room on the original one

Juat wanted to pop in and say hello (I've been lurking, but not posting). I was part of this thread a little while ago after close to two year TTC (mmc at 13 weeks in between). I sloped away when I got a surprising BFP. I am now 27 weeks and all going well. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for your support and say I'll be keeping an eye on things.

KD- good luck with the scan- I'm sorry you are having a touch time.

Hello everyone...

How are you all???

Any updates from appointments/new jobs etc??

kd - OMG your 21 weeks already.... WOOOHOOOO
Have you had your scan yet? Thinking of you and positive results XX

Lulu - many congratulations.. woo 28 weeks...fab news!!

Gilly - best of luck in your new job and your first day... NOW BEHAVE YOURSELF!

nomoremagnolia - your so funny!!!
My cat this morning has a big king sized bed to hide under but did not quite make it and his bum was sticking out... must be all those crisps... LOL

Ready - Hows it going Chick... I will email you later...tell you all about my time looking after my friends DS... it has made me wonder if kids are a bit too much hard work! but when he was not causing havoc he is just so funny and adorable... ARRRR

herbaceous - have you started your new job yet?

Hello to anyone else...

Anyway my news is....... drum roll.....
Went to the clinic yesterday and start my sniffing on approx 28th August so will do egg transfer sept and should get a gleaming positive by end of sept... IT WILL WORK.. (Do you like my new positive mental attitude??)
So excited....

Good news... no great news although still high risk for down syndrome baby, no other markers seen and pregnancy seems to now be progressing normally AND the dentist fixed my tooth today.

I so hope you ladies can join me in the "agonies" and "joy" of pg soon - you've been a complete life line to me. Thank you.

kd That's FANTASTIC news

Fab news KD.... I always considered the markers to be the most important thing.....My personal choice was not even to have the blood tests for DS etc... let alone amnio... Know too many people that have got stressed out by the results for no reason and ended up having amnio's etc... so stressful.

Did you get a picture?

Great news KD Excellent.

Gilly, how was your last day? Good luck next week - you will be amazing!! Go get em!

Congrats lulu, lovely news

How is everyone else? I have been super busy with work, which is ironic considering my first few weeks there I was wondering how much of a challenge it would be. It has calmed down a bit today, but I think it is certainly going to have challenges that I can find for myself

Hello there....

Hi busy Ready!

I'm shattered I went out on a school night and been hideous all day.WHOOPS>

When I went the clinic the nurse was quite firm on me not drinking whilst doing IVF, so I need to get in a few before giving up... (hopefully for 9months

Hi all, hope you had a good weekend. XX

Gilly, sorry to hear your back to CD2 but hears hoping the assisted conception works

The job sounds fab ... challenging and exciting all at the same time

Gilly - glad you got through your first day OK... probably not a good idea to start logging onto MN on your first day... LOL I probably meant behave yourself as your starting a new job where your the boss etc.... Who knows??? I write strange things at times....

Love to everyone and nice to hear from you KD XX

Hello... any of you girlies out there!

Hi RahRah. I'm back from holiday now. Great news about the IVF!

Gilly - hope your first week went really well.

It's a bit rubbish and rainy here at the moment. I'm hoping for a sunny September!

OMG no messages all week from you lot! HAVE YOU ALL LEFT MN???

EachPeachPearPlum - welcome back of holiday... hope you had a great time. I'm going on Sunday for 12 days... WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hello all

Haven't been MNing, as in new job. Which, frankly, is a nightmare. LOADS to learn, all manner of politics going on... I feel totally out of my depth. I can't sleep with worrying about it - woke up at 2am last night, and didn't go back to sleep properly - which doesn't help.

AND the friend I told you about who's a lesbian and has had IVF with donor sperm.... well, it worked. She's up the duff. She's just told me, by text, thankfully, and I nearly fainted. I feel dreadful - sick, sweaty, tearful. I though it had stopped mattering so much to me.

AND my acupuncturist had said at my last session that my 'pulses' felt pregnant, so that got me all hopeful. Then my period was two days late, so maybe I was, but am not any more.

Sorry for 'me me me', but eel rather desparate...

Sorry you're having such a crap time herby . I don't know what to say really but didn't want to leave your post unanswered. (((hugs)))

Hi guys

Ohhhhh herby... New jobs are a nightmare but you will settle into it. They would never of given you the post if you were not capable. Just be patient and you will find your own way and get to know the staff and sort out the politics, just what you bloody need!

In regards to your friend that is just pregnant, I don't know what to say. Its just gutting really that someone can try on their first go and bingo.... but at the same time you want to be happy for them. Its just personal disappointment that you can't achieve the one thing that you want. Over the last 4 years of TTC and losing Bertie it has brought out feelings I never knew I was capable of. I am bitter sometimes and that hurts just knowing I'm being like that, but the intensity of my feelings are so great, I can't stop the hurt flooding in.
So BIG HUGS, know how you feel, as does everyone else on this thread. We are all here for you. Lots of love and chin up... RAH XX

To the rest of you., hope all is well. I'm off on my holidays so I will catch up with you all on my return. Lots of love 'THE RAH'

Hello ladies- have been lurking for a while and not posting as was struggling with the whole TTC thing, but to everyone who knows my situation (18 months TTC, had all tests done, all came back 'normal', had HyCoSy last month), I just got my BFP yesterday! Aaagh! I am in total shock, I dont really think it has sunk in yet to be honest.

just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have offered me support and advice, in particular KD73.

big hugs and love to you all.

Evergrounded I am so pleased for you. Take it easy and I wish you all the luck with your pg

Rah Hope you have a lovely holiday [smile}

Herb I hope the job is getting better, give yourself time and it will get easier and one day you'll realise you've turned a corner. I remember very well feeling jealous of others success

Gilly Hows your job going?

I am doing well, I am getting erm big and can now feel movements!

Wow - congratulations evergrounded! We were really due for some good news on this thread. Hope everything goes well with your pregnancy.

evergrouned Congratulations!! Fantastic news!!

Thanks ladies!!!
