[nomoremagnolia]

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

HI all
Just a quick message to say back off holiday... Italy was great but my hubbie has been really ill and I ended up taking him to the hospital on Wed after getting off the airplane, where we found out he had a bacteria infection that caused his epiglottis to swell in the back of his throat and he could not swallow, eat and was having trouble breathing. Was a nightmare and he was taken straight into recuse. But they got everything under control and he was sent to a ward after about 6hrs. He was then kept in hospital on IV anti-b's and oxygen, but is now out!!! YAY!!! He has been signed off work for 2 weeks (so will be under my feet) and will be doing his dying duck act. God he is a typical man with man flu! But soooooo glad he is alive
I also went to the doctors this morning to make sure his sperm was still up for the job with the IVF and she said it would be fine... PHEW!

Anyway enough about ME ME ME (as usual)

Congratulations evergrounded!! WOOHOO

gilly - how did your scan go yesterday?

nomoremagnolia - I know I can't beleive there has been so little posts in my absence.. what is going on with everyone!

Hope everyone is well that I have missed off and howdy! Sorry got to get on with some work ASAP

Hi Gilly - hope the scan goes well today! Fingers crossed for IUI this cycle.

Rah - that sounds like a crazy week for you and your DH! I'm glad it wasn't more serious.

I'm doing fine. Not really thinking too much about TTC at the moment because there's a lot of other stuff going on. I saw a friend's newborn last week and he was lovely and I wanted one . I'm sure we'll have one at some point but I hope it's not too long to wait!

Hi to everyone else!

Rah not much of a relaxing holiday for you there!! Glad your DH is on the mend - what a horribly scary time.
I'm a bit perplexed today as my period has arrive much earlier than expected - my cycle is usually 30/1 days but this cycle was only 26 days

Hello everyone.... where are you all?

Hubbie is doing really well and is going back to work next week. I think I might sell my story to one of those trashy magazines... I bet they will not b able to believe all of our drama's.

Well I have some news, but have not had everything confirmed yet. I was taking my sniff's for IVF from the 28th August but last week felt very hormonal and before my base line scan you need to have a bleed. Well I went to my acupuncturist and she did not bring on a bleed and just decided to do a test and got a positive. The clinic are being a bit skeptical as I was on my nasal spray for two weeks and that reduces your lining in your womb. So I have a scan booked in next week to confirm viability. So fingers crossed. I should not really be saying anything as not told my family and friends and although I have got 4 positive tests now everyone is being very cautious, the clinic made me take another test this week and my GP did one too. So I will probably be very quiet for a week or so until we find out if everything is in the right place and we are defo pregnant.

Hope everyone is ok and not working too hard. Gilly how has the IUI gone this month? Anyone got any updates on their treatment/appointments?

Rah Wow - what a few weeks you must have had! congratulations! Really hope it's viable and totally understand that you may be quiet for a bit. Best wishes and lots of prayers for this little tiny bean.

Thanks nomore.. (whoops forgot to be quiet... not in my nature..).... my brain has already turned to mush...

Revel in pregnancy brain my friend

I'm trying not too, but its hard

Oh my god Rah whispered minxi very quietly* that is amazing news!!!!! I have every hope and everything crossed for you and dh... xxxxxxxx

Thanks guys for your messages. Well I have one week to go before my scan, so will be very nervous by then.
Gilly I have everything crossed for you. Good sizes on your eggs! Amazing that they reduced the dose... you must have good producing eggs normally!
WELLDONE to your hubbie's soldiers! WOOOO HOOOO for being promoted to Marines!

WAVES to MINXI!

Hello to everyone else.... XX

Rah so pleased for you, rest lots and drink lots of milk (its good for you) and let us know how you get on.

Gilly wonderful news and congratulations to Mr Gilly on his sample

No more How are you? sorry to hear about AF arriving and early - how rude!

Evergrounded hope you are doing well

I am very well and just realised, I think I am having a baby .

I'm ok - been to see IVF doc today but the only real way forward is more IVF which unfortunately we can't afford

Hi guys.

Just a quick update, ended up in hospital yesterday with bleeding and cramping. I had a scan and there was nothing viable left and they diagnoised a M/C. Basically by the time I got seen most of it was just floating around in the womb. So gutted we did not get to see anything at all.

Anyway its being a very hard time and has brought back a lot of feeling about losing our son.

I suppose at some time we will have to get back on the TTC wagon... but secretly I was getting very excited that maybe something would work out for us. But it was obviously not meant to be.

Before I get worried I'm going to slit my wrists, I will get off.(don't worry, I'm not considering that)

Lots of love to everyone and thanks for your support.

Oh Rah, I still lurk on this thread after all the great support you gave me earlier in the year. I just wanted to say how sorry I am. LOts of love x (scared1976)

oh Rah you poor thing look after yourself and you DH (and tell him to look after you too) Big big hugs xx

Rah

I am so so sorry. I remember so very clearly my earlier miscarriages and how gutted I was, so my heart goes out to you and Mr Rah. Look after each other and know that I will be thinking of you at this horrible time.

nomore*

I am sorry to hear of your predicament and can't believe the situation to which you find yourself. How many attempts at IVF have you had and how far did you get with them? I'll be hoping for a miracle / lottery win for you

hi ready hi nomore....its me fifilou now littleldaylollipop!

Hiya LLL I was only thinking about you the other day - how are you?? Lovely to 'see' you
KD We had one go at IVF on the NHS and it all went textbook but unfortunately didn't get pg from it. Once the embryos are back in safely then there's little they/we can do to affect the outcome However, I think I may have persuaded DH to accept some money from my parents (as an advance on my inheritance rather than a gift or loan) so we might be able to have another go sometime soon

Oh Rah. I am sorry. It's SO gutting, isn't it, however much you try not to get excited. Do keep going if you can bear it. I want to keep seeing you around!

I was just thinking that if the worst happens to any/all of us, and we don't get our longed-for babies, it would be really nice to still be able to support each other in our child-free state, in a world of families. There doesn't seem to be much on the interweb for such people as us. Maybe I should start a website!

A website all of our own would be great herbaceous.. I would be up for that. We could have a tick list of all the things people can do without children

Hope everyone is OK and thanks for your messages of support XX

Would I be excluded or could I be the exception please?

Hope you are ok Rah - been thinking of you

Hi Rah, I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. I hopw you're doing ok under the circumstances. (hugs)

Herby that's a great idea. It could be called notmumsnet

Hope everyone else is ok. Has anyone heard from Ready recently?

Thanks guys... back at work...

Just waiting for all my hormones to sort themselves out. Going to see my acupuncturist today. So hopefully that will help.

I hear from Ready, she is ok... but I think she is having a break from MN...

Sometimes all this TTC is just too bloody much!

Hope everyone is OK... love Rah xx
