Ahhh, look how nice and clean and new this thread is .

And there is a big ScaryHairy birthday cake for us all to share. I am not being good till after Thursday afterall...

Sorry about you foot PnM. That sounds painful . I am none the wiser about the fibroid either. Basically, as the hospital after the surgery the doctor who came round briefly told me about it but he didn't say much and then ran off. When they wrote to the doctor there was no mention of it at all, so as far as my doctor was concerned it is non existant. He was going to follow up with a call though to ask them why they didn't do an internal scan and/or if they did and just haven't mentioned it . Re the Scandinavian IVF, I have read up on the clinic now and it gets really really good reviews, but it is their summer holiday (August shutdown?) now I think as I got an email saying they were on hols.

Ei that nurse is shocking , but I am glad all ended well. You sound much more upbeat and positive which is great.

Nothing new here. A chavvy neighbour who lives 4 houses away from us turned up yesterday screaming abuse at DP over the fence. Finn went mad as he was being really threatening. He was complaining about Finn barking. He said the whole street was fed up of it . After he went I knocked at every door 5 houses each way down the street, and nobody except him had any complaint. Finn barked twice (and not two sets of barking, just Woof Woof twice) for the entire day yesterday, after the barking when the man was shouting. So, I am not sure what he was complaining about and now I am all paranoid and fed up. Finn and Molly have the run of the garden whilst we are at work, so I obviously don't know if Finn has some kind of alter ego that barks incessantly whilst we are at work. . He was so abusive though, and it was the first we had heard that anyone had a problem. I spoke to him afterwards, when I was knocking doors, and he had calmed down, but I am still super paranoid and every time Finn goes outside DP runs out in case he barks which is really stressful. I wish I could just forget about it and think the man was just in a bad mood but it is horrible thinking that we could have problems with our neighbours going forward. Sorry, off topic rant but I am a bit fixated on it....

oh dear PnM sorry about the foot i hope you are ok and your DP is taking good care of you
bucky im glad the scandanavian ivf place is checking out so it gives you a viable alternative should you decide to take the ivf route
i hope everyone is having a nice sunday evening i am about to Ov as i can feel my boobs start to ache and i have been very ratty with DH today so i think a bit of make up BDing is in order also a bit of baby making BDing kill 2 birds with 1 stone

Hi everyone

Big apologies for not being around for a few days, everything got on top of me for a bit, i tried to write a post several times, and kept welling up as soon as i started. I'm back, though, and i'm so sorry not to have been here to support you all.

SH am willing the days away for you until your scan. Am very at your problems trying to get one through your GP, but i'm sure it's best for you that you have organised it yourself. Hope you are doing ok.X

PnM You poor thing, with your broken foot!! Must be so painful. I hope your DH is looking after you and spoiling you! Does that mean you can't get to work / work??

EI That's frustrating about your appt, but it sounds as though it has worked out well in the end, and that you will soon get to see someone who can help you. Fingers crossed you get a nice sticky bean in the meantime!

Bucky Scandanavian IVF sounds interesting - i know the clinic we are going to supports people who are getting treatment overseas, and does all the blood tests, scan etc beforehand. You just travel for the egg collection, and embryo transfer. Might be worth investigating clinics near you who are happy to do this. Am very on your behalf about your stupid neighbour. If no-one else has a complaint, then what is he going on about. Maybe you should set up a "finn & molly cam* while you are out, to prove that it is not excessive!!

Hello to everyone else i haven't mentioned. Hope you are all ok, and that those who are on hols are having fun!

Well, as i mentioned, i have been in a bit of a state for a few days. Only because we have our appt at the clinic today, and we will either find out if they can help us, or if it is the end of the road. (Obv it's the latter i am terrified of). DH had another SA on friday. They rang him back within half an hour of him producing it and the woman who'd looked at it said that it confirmed the test he'd had previously (i.e. not a good result at all) but he asked her if there was enough in there to work with, and she seems very positive. The doctor may have other ideas though.

As i said before, i'm sorry for staying away, but any thoughts of ttc etc have been reducing me to tears atm. Stupid i know. I will come back this evening and let you know how it all went, and i promise to be a better cyber friend!!

So when are we going to Brighton then???!!!

MOB I think it is just you and me in Brighton at this rate .

Sorry you are feeling low but I am really glad you are back . I am just sneaking on here at work but wanted to say hello.

Hi Ladies
(tis me, SH, I have namechanged)

Ei that appointment does sound extraordinarily annoying, but at least you'll get seen by someone good now. And with any luck you won't need the appointment after all...

Your poor foot Picknmix. I hope it is not too painful and that your DH is waiting on you hand and (forgive me) foot . We won't tell DD about this bean for ages I think. There is not much point as she has no concept of time, but we will at least try to indoctrinate her into thinking that babies are nice (at the moment she does not like them and says they cry all the time, which is sort of true...)

Lots of luck at the clinic today MOB. I have everything crossed that they come up with a positive way forward for you and you DH.

Bucky your neighbours sound awful. I do understand people complaining about dogs barking (it's not my favourite sound in the world and we have a neighbour whose dog barks all night) but to be agressive is out of order and to complain if the dogs aren't barking much is just rubbish. Maybe it's someone else's dog he can hear! Lol at MOB's idea re the Dog-cam.

No news from me, am just willing Friday to hurry up and come.
I was just lurking on the September 08 AN thread and DG has had a little Digiboy in what sounds like a pretty nice labour. Yay!

Gosh, I am so excited about DGs baby, I feel like I just had him myself . We are cyberaunties...hurrah at last!

Afternoon all!

Cyberaunties to DGs baby Digiboy, yay!!!!!

Sorry to hear things have been so tough for you MOb, I have my fingers firmly crossed for your appt and will be thinking of you all day. Do let us know how you get on xx

Bucky I want to meet in Brighton too!!! Not so sure I can make a Sept meet now though unless I can do a hop-a-long impression and no-one laughs at me . Can't believe how mean your neighbour sounds - if you've checked with your closest neighbours and they were all fine then I think you have nothing to worry about. Sod the nasty man - he obviously just wanted a fight and you got the brunt of it. The Scandanavian option sounds like a viable route if necessary. I think its always good to have researched things like that way in advance so you're armed should the need arise. I hope your Dr comes up with some answers re: the fibroid.

SH/MrsHappy! Like the new name!!

Hope you got some making up bding in last night Ei ?!

Hope our holiday makers are still enjoying themselves?!

Hi to MTW, Mibbes, JB, Abby and Hatty - are all doing ok??

And hi to Lou as well!

I'm all good - no symptoms to report as have c-o-m-p-l-e-t-e-l-y missed ov and it actually feels quite a relief to do away with the thermometer. Foot is fine, woke up in the night screaming in agony but no idea why as during the day it doesn't hurt. Have to wait until Thurs for an appt with an orthopaedic consultant (need scans and whatnot to determine if dislocated as well as broken) and am bored already - can't drive, can't go to work, can't even get upstairs without making a gargantuan effort (gah - no downstairs loo = crossing my legs lots )

Will prob waffle lots on here to while away the hours!!

hi ladies
mob how did your appt go? i hope it went as well as you wanted it to go
mrshappy love your new name
PnM i hope your foot gets better soon until then maybe try a bucket or bum-shuffle up the stairs for a wee
a big hello to everyone else
xx ei xx

whoops how could i forget
DG yayayayayay a digiboy what a lovely peice of news i am thrilled to be a cyber auntie
xx ei xx

Evening all.

What exciting news!!! A cyber nephew!! I have gatecrashed the thread to wish her well. Can't wait to hear all about him, and what he's called!! Seems like 5 minutes ago DG got pregnant - where did all the time go?

MrsHappy What a lovely name! Here's hoping this week goes by in a flash for you.

Bucky Brighton will happen!! Even if we have to wait for PnM's foot to mend, "judith" to stop travelling the world etc!! Either that or it's just you, me & a bag of chips

PnM you must be getting so bored, not being able to do anything. Lots of MN time, though! I expect to see you being all contraversial on the AIBU threads!!

Big hellos to EI Lou MTW hatty JB Mibbes (Also to GG & Caitni if you are lurking whilst on your hols)

Well, it all went rather well this afternoon. I was a nervous wreck before i went - could hardly drive there for shaking. The consultant was lovely. DH's results were a little better than last time, probably because the sample was analysed straightaway. It was still very poor though. However he has more than enough swimmers for ICSI, and he said that given that i have had 2 DC before, and i appear to be oving, there is no reason why we shouldn't be successful. He went through the whole process with us.

I happened to be CD3 today, so they have taken blood to look at FSH levels (to check for ovarian reserve). Providing this is ok, we can begin at the start of my next cycle

I can't believe how happy i feel, although i am anxious about getting my results for FSH tomorrow. DH is very excited. We are a bit overwhelmed by the 25% chance of twins!!! We have an appt with one of the nurses in a couple of weeks to go through everything again, and to talk about medication, administering it etc.

It's amazing - after over a year of hope slowly draining away month after month, it feels like we may finally be in with a chance. I'm sure there will be lows as well as highs over this next part of the journey, but it's nice to feel optomistic again.

Sorry to go on and on but i am just so relieved it was so positive today

oh MOB im made up your appointment went well and with any luck we will have some madoldtwins to add to our success stories
xx ei xx

OMG MOB I am so pleased you got the news you wanted. I bet that has put a smile on your face!

Picknmix I'm glad your foot doesn't hurt although it sounds like an enormous PITA (if not in the foot). I guess a bucket might be the only way to go...

MOB What wonderful news about your appointment. TTC really is a rollercoaster ride but I really hope you are on the up now.

Bucky You too, Scandanavian clinics no less

I'm so pleased you've both been able to look at your options and they are turning out to be positive.

I can't believe DG has had her baby already, so early but sounds a very healthy weight. I wonder what she has called him? Congrats DG if you read this.

PnM Hope you're resting with your foot up

Hello to everyone else I'm so pleased that the thread has a more positive vibe for you.

Oh and Bucky I know all about ranting neighbours we have a loopy lou next door to us. It is a horrible horrible feeling to be on tender hooks in your own home. There are only six houses in our street and we get on with everyone else so I know the problem doesn't lie with us, it sounds much like your situation with your other close neighbours, they don't seem to have a problem. As difficult as it is try not to worry.

Message withdrawn

Thats brilliant news MOB - really chuffed for you. And what a relief! What time will you get your test results back?

Bucket might be the best way to go for me. Definitely getting in some extra mn time though (alternated with a bit of Facebook!). Foot is up and dh has stocked up the cupboard with 'nice' things for me (he bought some lovely teabags for me but I can't bring myself to tell him that I can't carry a cup of tea through to the sofa whilst on crutches so they're pretty redundant )

At the risk of sounding like I'm talking to myself....

Morning everyone!

Hope you're all ok x

You're not talking to yourself, PnM!! I'm here, on and off. How's the foot?

I was thinking, you should get your DH to make a flask with your nice tea in it!

Am so jittery and anxious, i can ring after 12pm for my blood test results. They may not be back for 48hrs, but i can try today. It all hinges on this...

Have you rung them yet MOB?

Good idea re the tea - will gently suggest it to DH tonight

Not there yet... nurse will call me back later if they are back today.

It was 7.5. Anything under 10 is good, so it's all systems go!!! I feel i can get excited now

Yay - lovely news MOB.

Mob thats great news!!!!!

My firms accountant has just emailed me and asked me to get sales figures for May, June and July to him by tomorrow morning..... Guess I wont be bored anymore!

Brilliant news MOB

Thank you MrsH MTW & PnM

It's so nice to feel excited - just makes me realise how ttc had got me down generally, without me even realising. As I said before, I'm sure there will be lows as well as highs along the way, but at the moment we are enjoying feeling positive. By the way, i forgot to say, the dr was not at all bothered by my smear test result - if anything needs dealing with along the way, it can be sorted, or wait until i (fingers crossed) give birth. That stupid NHS leaflet gave me huge amounts of worry over nothing!

I guess i'd better go and introduce myself to the "assisted conception" ladies soon - not that it means i will neglect you lot of course!!

PnM Crumbs! You've got a lot to do!! That'll teach you for saying you have nothing to do

MOB fabulous news missus am so pleased things are moving for you xx
