Yes! Happy Birthday to me indeed! Fanks for all the Cake I would say 'nom-nom' and 'it was awesome!' but I would have to stab myself for being an irritating twat. I digress..

Come here, ladies who have survived IVF and are now battling the first trimester nerves and scans. We did it...we did it!! Grin

All good signs Happily! When is that scan of yours?

Beetle I have only just started. I actually find it quite therapeutic. I have always hated my tummy. I hated touching it and looking at it. Also hated anyone else touching it, so am seeing it as therapy Wink

It's on Thursday so I'm nearly there. The wait hasn't been as bad as I thought, I've had a couple of bad days which haven't been nice but generally I've just tried to keep busy and get on with things, swinging between feeling positive and feeling like its not going to have a happy ending. Only time will tell.

Being 30 weeks must be amazing :)

When are you moving pram?

Hello all, making the most of feeling very slightly less sick to use the computer - I have had to give up screens of all sort as I seem to get some sort of motion sickness! Marbs - am totally with you on how grim this MS business is. Will have to try cherry jelly sweets though - wine gums have ket me going! I have to go into work tomorrow as need to sort out something urgent - but gawd knows how going to manage, and our toilets are those ones where you can hear everything everyone is doing.
You all seem so young... I wish I was in my 20's. motor and pram - please tell me you guys aren't?!
Anyone bought anything baby related yet?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 22/09/2013 20:06

Wim I'm massively sympathising. I'm so pleased I'm signed off. I wouldn't cope! We've got quite a few bits now. All clothes at the mo, but we are ordering nursery furniture next week and pram in October!

Not long now Happily! I think every week is a milestone. To say I'm 14 weeks is just amazing!

Just wanted to pop back to say thank you for all your messages.

Best of luck with your pregnancies xxx

NoMaybeAboutIt · 22/09/2013 21:36

Thinking of you Bird. Hope you and MrBird are doing ok xxx

Prambo · 22/09/2013 23:40

Oh Bird, how thoughtful to come back to say hello. I so hope you and your husband get some peace of mind and more happy news very soon x

Happily, they are great symptoms! Hang on in there.

Wim, I am forty-fucking-two years old Sad

Beetle, yes, the landlord served us a Notice Seeking Possession with 5th October as the date he wants us out. He hasn't got a cat in hell's chance. We are looking for somewhere else but these fings take time..

I only get my belly oiled when I want sex from th'usband. I ak him to get the BioOil out which invariably leads to him giving my buzzwams a squidge. The rest is history Hmm

Beetle, I have not checked Gumtree. I thought they just sold fridges and shit.

Don't feel guilty about no rumpy-pumpy! I categorically have zero libido but am practising my cock-squats for labour Smile

Happilymarried155 · 25/09/2013 16:04

Hi twinkle, my iui worked first time!!! :) but.....the six week scan didn't look so good so am going back tommorow when I will be 8 + 2 to see if its any better. The doctors werent very positive so I'm keeping everything crossed!

How are you? :) x

twinklestar2 · 25/09/2013 16:34

So pleased for you honey! Sending you good vibes for tomorrow, please keep me posted.

I don't think there are the words to describe how I'm feeling. I'm halfway between sad and ok.

Happilymarried155 · 25/09/2013 16:38

That's rubbish :( it's such a long, emotional journey. Have you started you IVF?

I will let you know tommorow. Sending you lots of love xx

twinklestar2 · 25/09/2013 17:10

Had it and it failed :(

Going to do a frozen cycle at the end of October.

Just feel bleurgh about it all, it's a long and emotional journey, I want to get off this ride.

Good luck for tomorrow.

MotorcycleMama · 25/09/2013 17:18

Good luck for tomorrow happily - I hope it is a great outcome for you. Fingers crossed.

Hi twinkle - good to hear from you. Sorry you are feeling rubbish - it's totally understandable. Not long now until the FET, and we'll all be praying it works for you this time. X

NoMaybeAboutIt · 25/09/2013 17:47

We ping everything crossed for you tomorrow Happily

Lovely to see you Twinks. I'm so sorry you're in limbo land at the moment. I'm hoping October comes around quickly so you can come and join us x

NoMaybeAboutIt · 25/09/2013 17:48

Keeping that should say Blush
