Morning all. Just been on the due Sept thread and DG has posted a fantastic account of her birth experience, I was sure you'd all be interested. Get a cuppa and settle down for a good read.

Thanks 07MTW, I read it . OMG...why are we pursuing this exactly . Aww, she is such a brave soldier.

CD13 here already . I was going to try not to count days this month. Also as I am going on a girly weekend in New York in October, I think I will suspend my IVF plans till I get back so no news on that front from me here either.

Boring....

PicknMix hows the footsie today? Still got the bucket .

Hi ladies,

So I'm back from holidays (and nicely jetlagged! so work is a bit of a struggle today...). So good to read through the posts and catch up on people's news.

PnM you poor thing with your broken foot! Hope you're managing OK. Glad to hear your DH is being so helpful, even if you can't actually make a cup of tea

MOB yay!!! I'm so glad to hear it's all systems go . It's great to see you excited. It makes me excited for you too . Full steam ahead for the madoldbaby (or even madoldtwins )

MrsHappy love the name change! Hope all's well with you lady, any symptoms yet?

Ei also love your name change! In fact, it's one I could probably nick myself (I bought seven handbags in the Ollie & Nic sale before I went on holidays - which should satisfy my cravings for a while!). How's life with you?

Bucky lucky you with a weekend in NYC to look forward to. We spent one night & day in NYC and even the nightmare drive out of manhattan (about an hour and a half to go a few miles!) was worth it. And glad to hear of the progress re assisted conception. Scanhealth looks good (yes, I am indeed a google-a-holic). Who knew Scandinavia, that bastion of expensive living, would be so much more reasonable for assisted conception?

And wow at DG's birth story!

Big waves to mibbes MTW Shreksmissus and everyone else.

Not much to report with me. The holiday was fantastic, very relaxing (probably because I wasn't temping or using the CB monitor and was often too busy reading or relaxing with friends & family to actually think about ttc!!). Old habits die hard though, so was checking CM and from that I reckon I ov'd last Wed. We had plenty of BDing so all I can do now is hope and wait until next Tuesday (when period is due) and try not to symptom spot. Aim is to avoid getting myself all worked up just for the disappointment of my period arriving.

Hello ladies,

bucky thanks for popping into the other thread! Can't quite believe it myself! And sorry if I've put anyone off with the graphic detail - I'm sure I could have been even more explicit given the time .

This time last year I was on this thread wondering why my cycles were getting longer. Now I have my baby boy, Alfredo, and it's ll been worth it. Even at 3 days old he likes to snuggle.

I'll be keeping an eye on you as I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot more time on MN (despite DH thinking I should be using this time to get some rest)

DG xxx

DigitalGirl it's so so so good to hear from you (and read your birth experience). Congrats on little Alfredo (gorgeous name!). You definitely weren't too graphic, it's inspiring, an excellent reminder as to why we're all here

And hello to everyone else, hope you're all well.

I'm starting to obsess - randomly took my temp this morning, just out of curiousity, and it was 37.10, which is really high for me (the highest ever recorded in fact). Now of course wishing I hadn't as it's feeding my TWW madness! Keep muttering to myself that one temp alone doesn't mean anything...

I shouldn't encourage but, again tomorrow Caitni . Holidays are the best fertility treatment. .

The IVF clinic in Norway have written back. I have to make an appointment and GO to Norway....arghhhh, I am afraid now .

Hey DG . Can't wait to see my cyber nephew .

duh, I meant 'temp again tomorrow' Caitni.

I started the gym again yesterday after a three year break . I need a full body cast and an arm transplant today I am in sooooo much pain and tomorrow is the when it is supposed to hurt . Lord alone knows what I will be like tomorrow. My legs were so stiff I nearly missed my train stop today . I though exercise was supposed to be good for ?

Hi Guys

Bucky I know calling Norway must be a big step, but once you've done it think how you'll feel! Just pick up the phone! [getting excited now] And exercise is not good for anything!

Caitni the random high temp does sound promising - keep temping and let us know how it goes.

DG if you are about, well done on having your lovely baby. I do agree with what the others on your A.N. thread said about the feeding, though. My DD at this age fed at least every 2 hours during the day and a couple of times at night. It is tiring but I reckon if you put your wee chap to the breast really often you can soon ditch the formula (if that's what you want). You were at the Whittington weren't you? I have heard they are not great at the feeding advice - they tried to discharge my friend the day she had her son, but she didn't feel even remotely confident about feeding for another couple of days and had to ask them to let her stay!

Ei do you think you caught that egg?

I hope the foot is better, Picknmix, and that the accounts were not too tedious!

Not much news from me. Scan tomorrow and I am scared. My back is killing me and I am really worried it is not going to be a good result. Which would be very unfair since I had extreme nausea today. Please cross your fingers for me that this one is ok and I can get out of miserable limbo!

Bucky well done you on the gym front! The aches and pains are worth it (though, er, I haven't been to the gym in over a year!). I'd like to get fit myself, and if AF arrives then that's my plan. And good news about the Norway clinic. Maybe you can combine the visit with a visit to Oslo or Bergen or somewhere (i've been to Norway a couple of times, beautiful country). I think you're normal to be scared. It's a huge step. But it's a positive step. And just think how worth it it will be when baby bucky arrives . Not too sure I'll be temping tomorrow though, I checked my other charts and I often have a high temp around now and then the inevitable plummet gets me so down. Though do have sore boobs and a strange taste in my mouth and need to pee a lot (BUT i've had such "symptoms" before so am trying to remember that). Please tell me to stop being such a TWW obsessive!

Crossed posts with you MrsH. I think the nausea is a very promising sign. I will be crossing everything for you tomorrow, as I really hope that this scan shows your little bean is sticking in very much the right place xx

And big hello to everyone else

Caitni ...us tell you not to obsess ...um, yeah right! . Sounding promising though.

MrsHappy good name, but I am finding it hard not to call you SH!! I am keeping everything crossed for you for tomorrow. Third time lucky I am sure .

hi girls
good luck for the scan tomorrow mrshappy
*bucky great news on your scandanavian baby hunt how long is the wait if you book an appointment?
hello to everyone else
i have almost certainly not caught any egg yet as i am still waiting to Ov CD22 and still barely a rise ahh well me and DH have been BDing like demons just in case an egg does decide to make an appearance
xx ei xx

Evening ladies

DG lovely to "see" you. So, so excited to hear about little Alfredo. I wish you all much joy and happiness. Do keep popping to see us, won't you?!

Caitni lovely to have you back - glad you had a fantastic time. That random temp is promising... i would secretly be with Bucky on this one and suggest you take your temp tomorrow as well, but i don't want to be accused of encouraging your obsessing Fingers crossed for you though.

EI nearly didn't recognise you there! How are things?

Mibbes good to see you as well. How's that bump doing?

Bucky Tut tut. Exercise. You should know better Sounds like quite a commitment to have to go over to Norway initially, but if they look good then i'm sure it would be worth it.

MrsH I will be thinking of you tomorrow, and sending millions of positive vibes for good news. Nausea sounds a good thing, and back ache often is too, as the body adapts to being pregnant, ligaments stretch, etc. I suppose it's pointless to say "don't worry", but try and relax as much as you are able. Will be doing virtual hand-holding all day!!

PnM Did you get all those figures done?

See you all tomorrow. XX

Just a quick note to wish Mrshappy all the very best at the scan today. Let us know how you get on.

Ei there is no waiting list, we just decide when we want the treatment to start. There are only two visits to Norway as well so I could go next week if they had an appointment . I haven't called yet. DP wants to read all the bumpf they sent me.

Mrs H, let us know how you get on.

Higs and waves to everyone else, hope you are having a good if soggy day. .

Hi all,

Cyber-hand holding going on here sh - let us know how it goes x

Ahhh, dg, lovely to have an update - so excited to hear about the arrival of little Alfredo. Let us know how you're getting on xx

Bucky re getting on a plane and just going tomorrow! How completely liberating (thats not the word I'm looking for but hope you know what I mean). Get that DP reading! And with regards to exercising - I'm currently laid up on the sofa with a plaster cast on for FOUR weeks due to the 'extreme' tennis I played!! Exercise is def off the pnm routine now!

Hiya Caitni - sounds like you've had a fab time away! Can understand totally the need to not obsess (but really want to ask if you temped this morning !).

Hello Ei - get that lazy egg to get a move on!

How are you doing MOB?

Well, as mentioned above, went to the hospital yesterday and thought they'd be removing my plaster - even took a spare shoe with me [dozy cow emoticon] as I thought I'd be walking back out again. No such luck - cast is back on for 4 wks. Couldn't sleep last night though as plaster so tight so may make another trip to hospital today. Gah! So annoying!

Not good news from the scan I'm afraid.
There is something in my uterus - it could be a "pseudo sac" (sign of ectopic) or it could be a failing pregnancy.
There is possibly also something in my right tube, but they aren't sure what.
I don't know what's going on but it is not right, that's for sure.

I probably won't post for a bit because I am feeling seriously bruised.

I hope you're all ok.

Oh god sh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Please take good care of yourself. Am thinking of you - major hugs. I know its difficult at the moment but plse let us know how you're doing when you feel ready xx

Oh no, SH absolutely gutted for you.
Just can't believe it. I have tears in my eyes. Goodness only knows how you must be feeling. Hope you get all the care and treatment you need to determine what is happening.

Totally understand that you may not be around for a while, but I hope you know we are all here to listen if you are able to come on. Lots of love and hugs. XX

Back later.

Oh god MrsH, I'm so so sorry to hear this . You poor thing . Remember that we're all here for you but please take as much time as you need to take care of yourself. I hope you get a full answer about what's happening soon.
Love and hugs
Caitni

MrsH I am really sorry it went badly. Is there any hope at all? Remember when Fairywatsername had that molar pregnancy and a d&c and then ended up still pregnant with a perfectly healthy baby , is there no way that it could still be ok? I don't mean to get your hopes up, but as corny and annoying as it is there is still hope until there is no hope isn't there???? . I feel terrible for you, you really needed some good news.

I'm gutted. This sucks.

Hello everyone,

I'm so sorry SH. I really do hope that they are mistaken and things work out for you. Life really can be so horribly unfair .

I've not posted for a bit because the internet was playing up, so belated congratulations to DG. I'll go and read your birth story now. I think you have chosen a really lovely name for your little DS.

I'm really pleased things are moving for you MOB. Great news on the results and I bet you are itching to get started. I'll have all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Sounds like things are progressing with you too Bucky! Why did you choose a clinic in Norway? Sorry if you have already posted this . It is amazing that things can get going so quickly!

PnM Your poor foot! I hope your DP is looking after you with lots of cups of tea and healing chocolate .

Hello ei, hope your egg gets a move on!

Hello to anyone I've inadvertently missed.
