LW - sweetheart I am so very sorry, you don't deserve this at all, sending you lots of love and support  ^hugme^ ^hugme^ ^hugme^ ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Rachel very sorry to hear about your BFN  ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Karen honey - good luck  ^reiki^ ^reiki^

Pixie -  ^pray^ ^pray^ ^pray^ your follie hangs in there, it really should be fine, try not to worry too much (who the hell am I kidding!!!)  ^hugme^ ^hugme^ ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Sam - so sorry we missed each other  ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Anne - lovely to speak yesterday, had lovely fish and chips with B and our evening was salvaged, hope you are out having a brilliant evening as I type xxxx

Ali - are you okay hon? Bit worried about you xxxx

I am in Washington now, knackered, flight was okay but at passport control was ushered into another room which I was held in for 2 hours, have no idea why, they "just wanted to talk to me". Very scary and upsetting at the time but thankfully in my hotel now. The lovely guy on reception just upgraded me to a super swanky room with access to a special lounge with complementary cocktails etc (shame I am not allowed to drink for 24 hours prior to arriving at NIH or I would have gone and got slaughtered!! Like the lot of you tonight!!)

So tomorrow is just chilling out before I go over to the NIH at about 4.30, sh!tting it but hoping to sleep well, my bed looks like something out of the princess and the pea!!  ;D ;D

Girls thanks for all your support and ** messages, going to change my status update to Alexandra HATES US CUSTOMS OFFICERS!!!! (oh sh!t do you think they will get me for saying that!!)

Lightweight, so, so sorry to hear your news.  ^hugme^ How terribly upsetting  ^eyes^

Tracey, re the ov test sticks (even though it's a bit late now), as I was an OPK veteran first time around TTC  ;) Your first OPK will turn positive once the LH surge starts, and ovulation is usually somewhere between 24 and 48 hours later (average is about 24-36hrs later), and you need to test regularly during the course of each day in order to find out exactly when that surge starts. Testing once a day obviously gives you a rough idea, but if you're trying to time things really accurately then multiple tests a day are the way to go (this is generally much more important for e.g. at home insems with a known donor than for BMS). However, the LH surge carries on for some time, and so you can get a positive on a test stick for several days in a row, even after you've ovulated. So, chances are that if you've seen EWCM and had what could have been ov pain already, then you have indeed ovulated already - that test is just showing some of the trail of the surge, rather than the start of it.
Anyway, by now you'll already have done the deed - or not  ;)

Sorry, no time for anything else right now, can hear Toby yelling for me.

Morning girls,

Hope everyone is well.

LW-  :( :( Honey I'm gutted for you. Please get in touch when you feel like it and I can give you a real hug. Lots of love - nohut!  ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Ally - What W.A.N.K.E.R.S!!! How dare they keep you waiting for 2 hours honey! I absolutely detest custom officers - they all think they have a little bit of power and they try and hold it over people - especially the ones in the US! Hope you are OK hon  ^hugme^

Lots of love everyone.

Ally-glad that you are safe and sound and have been upgraded,...really enjoy that luxury.

Just got my call. Slept badly last night, knew I was getting a call at 8-8.30am to tell me either to come in today or on Tuesday. Was packed, food sorted, washed, brushed, dressed, breakfasted and ready to go...We possibly could have been in at Lister at 1.20pm today which would have made the schlep from Manchester to London a crazy race....anyway call arrived and we are going to blastocyst! appt for Tuesday.

Thinking of a nice lunch out somewhere, given that I didnt get out on my birthday!

What fab news Mag.

Ally.  Did they just make you sit there for two hours or did they ask you loads of questions?  What is because you couldn't say you were just going on holiday.  Poor you.  I woudl have been terrified.
Great news on your swanky room though.

LW.  I am gutted for you. ^hugme^ ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Pix and Kazzie.  Good luck

Nismat.  Thanks for the advice.  We did the deed in the afternoon before we went out.  As I had to get ready straight afterwards I wonder if the sperm just fell out.  I usually lay in bed for half hour afterwards.

Rachel.  So sorry to hear of your BFN.  ^hugme^  I didn't realise you were on a 2ww

Kate.  Why don't you just get yourself a hotmail/gmail email address so you can have your own ** account.

Popsi/beach/kate.  Sounds like you had an enjoyable eve last night despite Eurovision.  I hear we didn't do nearly as badly as the last few years.

We had a lovely evening with our friends last night.  Fab food, I would highly recomend Maze for a special evening out.
I haven't been too emotional yet.  Today was the day Marcus actually died so may find today is worse, especially when we get to his little memorial site later.  I am going to try and go without Max for a change.
When we were on holiday Max said to me 'I never saw Marcus, I was safe in your tummy when he died'  I said yes that's right and he then said 'you will get another baby in your tummy then I will die'  Of course I told him that would never happen, but it obviously plays on his mind sometimes.

Miranda.  Max didn't scratch any of his pox but he still had quite deep holes afterwards.  The have now faded to marks and I hope they don't leave scars.  I don't think it matters for boys as much.
Does Robert have them on his face?  Luckily Max's are on his body.

Love to everyone I haven't mentioned

Awww, poor Max! Bless him - I hope he doesn't really think that's what will happen.

Good that the holes faded after a time - Robert's got two on his face and many on his body. The face ones look better than the bosy ones tho.

Hope today's ok and you get to visit the memorial without the rain pouring down.

Gawd, just reading about bloody Katie Price - what a first class cow she's been to people. What discernable talent has she got to have £30m in the bank, I ask you? Grrrr.

Read this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1183390/Scheming-cold-interested-Former-groom-reveals-truth-Katie-Price-cameras-off.html

Rach - hope you're coping ok. It's such a blow. ^hugme^

LW - I've replied on the Jinny thread, but I'm so, so sorry this has happened to you. It's so devastating.

Tracey - thinking of you today and sending a big  ^hugme^  The sun has just started shining here today so i hope it has where you are too.

LW - i am so sorry sweetie  ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Ally - Sorry about customs.  I had that happen to me once too - was on my own and got really quizzed about why i was going, who was i staying with, how much money did i have etc etc.  Hope you get a good nights sleep ready to face NIH in the morning  ^hugme^ I am oddly excited for you - is that weird?  ^hugme^

Rachel - sorry about your result  ^hugme^

Mags - well done honey - hope you have a great day out today too  ^hugme^

I am sorry I have not been on much lately but have been so wrapped up with work.  I still dont know when I will get my notice but it is soon.  Also, I have not had AF for 5 weeks 1 day and that is unheard of.  Stopped taking the DHEA a few days ago incase it was that.  For the last 7 days I have had (TMI warning!!) very slight brown tinge to my discharge like at the very very end of af but could go unnoticed.  What is going on?????

Love to everyone xx

Morning all  :)

It is about 7am here but I have battled long enough trying to sleep, think I have to give up now!!!

Mag - great news on those blasts  ^reiki^ ^reiki^

Rachel  ^hugme^ ^hugme^

LW - darling still thinking of you loads, its just so unfair, this shouldnt be happening to you  ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Karen - everything crossed for a great EC  ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Pix - honey - I know it was pretty hideous and the worst thing was that my phone had no signal in that area, Ben thinks they block the phones so that people are unable to call out  :( I know you are probably pretty worried about EC (for which I send you huge amounts of  ^reiki^ ^reiki^ ^reiki^ ^reiki^ ^hugme^ ^hugme^ ^hugme^ ^hugme^ ^pray^ ^pray^ ^pray^ ^pray^) but are you managing to enjoy seeing your family and being home for a bit??

Tracey - what can I say, I can only imagine how heartbreaking today must be for you and your DH. You are so incredibly brave and we are all completely in awe of you  ^hugme^ ^hugme^ If you feel you would like to go without Max then you should take that time for yourself, you can always take him another time if you change your mind. Poor Max though, children are like little sponges aren't they, they take in all the information and store it there even when you don't think they are. That must have been a hard conversation for you but I am sure you made him feel alot better  ^hugme^ ^hugme^ ^hugme^ ^hugme^ for you all xxxx

Anne - honey pie, how did the party go?? Did you have a good time?? I really hope you did, you and J really deserve a good night out, do you have a sore head today??  ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Ali - hon, don't apologise for not being on, thats not how it works, I just thought it is always nice to know that even when you feel you are not up to posting (for whatever reason) that you are not forgotten and that we think of you and hope you are okay. The job stuff must be really doing your head in, so NOT what you need. Re AF I know that it can cause AF irregularities but some say it helps so who bloody knows. My AF has been crazy for years but it certainly didn't improve mine, I wondered at the time if it had made things go crazy but not sure. Re your TMI, sometimes I get that when AF is on its way, could it be that? I hope so  ^hugme^ Oh and its not wierd being excited for me, it is lovely to know that you are all behind me although am definately trying to play it down a bit as I have been having fantasies about turning up, being scanned and finding out I am pregnant!!!  ^idiot^ I am on CD 46 but have no symptoms whatsoever and don't think i ovulated so thats just bloody stupid!!!  ^idiot^

Mir - sorry about Bobsters chicken pocks marks, H my little sister had a massive crater in her face when she was little as she scratched off a scab but it is hardly visable now. Re Katie, will enjoy reading that in a mo!!

Kate, Beachy, Pops, Ophelia and Steph and everyone else - thanks for your messages of support re customs man, I will make sure I seek him out when I leave and say "you just don't know who you are dealing with do you, oh no, you don't. You have never suffered the wrath of a wronged FF woman, watch your back mate, the FF girls are going to get you"  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

So I don't have to check out until 1pm but I am planning to do a little shopping, stock up on a few things that are cheaper here (although that is not that much when the its only 1.5 dollars to the pound. Then I will be taking a cab up to the NIH at about 3.30pm. Trying to just take each hour as it comes, that way it is less daunting, but already looking forward to getting home although sad that I won't see B for another 2.5 weeks after I get back so may be on here a bit using you as my surrogate husbands!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D Weather is pretty crap, hot and wet, but I have a brolly and going to get out and have a walk a little later and if I am very brave get some brunch on my own (I will have to perfect that 'I am happy eating here alone' look and bury my face in a book!!)  ;D ;D

Ooh Hazelnut you just crept in - hi love - great news on your scan xxxx

How can you say that? She has 2 very distinct talents! Obviously they're worth 15m each (wow she really got value for money on them boob jobs didn't she ;D ;D ;D)

Rachel - Sorry to hear of your BFN hon ^hugme^

Kate - have added Scott as a friend on ** with an extra request... ;) ;D

Ally - sorry about the nightmare customs experience hon! I'll never forget the time I decided to be sensible and wear my glasses instead of sleeping in my contacts during the flight. When we arrived I was faced with border guards from hell, all of them insisting that I take my glasses off to go through security and refusing to believe me when I kept trying to explain that I really can't see without them! (I'm -13 in both eyes, I'd have needed a guide dog to negotiate my way without the specs!)

Karen - good luck for EC hon ^reiki^

Minus 13!!!! My God, that's dreadful - I used to be minus eight before laser surgery and thought that was bad enough.  :eek: They've slipped back to minus two now, sadly. If I could afford more laser surgery I would!

Yeah, those £15m assets...  ^bigbad^ How on earth has she earned that much from a few rounds of implants, huh?

Hi all

Didn't watch all of eurovision, just the scoring. Not the same without Terry Wogan, although Grahame made a great observation about one of the people giving the scores. 'Is that national dress or is she having a laugh'(well something like that, it was late). We came 5th, not as bad as previous years and I have to admit that the Norway song wasn't too bad. My DH went to bed he thinks it's all rubbish.

Back to work tomorrow.

Pix- Good luck for EC. I'm keeping everything crossed that you get at least one egg. ^pray^ ^pray^ ^reiki^ ^reiki^

Rachel - Sorry to hear about BFN.

Mags- What great news. A blast transfer.

Lightweight- Sorry to hear about the outcome of EC. ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Ally - Good luck for tomorrow. I hate passport control, it makes me nervous. On the way to South Africa for our honeymoon a customs officer tried to take the wedding cake I was carrying (we were visiting family there and had taken the top tier for them to eat). He was joking, but I didn't find it very funny as I was still on edge following the flight.

Hi to Anne, Anneofc,Nix, fishy and everyone else.

Mags Congratulations on going to blasts that is so good

Well my news...

Well this IVF milarky is a rollercoaster and a half aint it, this time last week they told me I would ov early and have a cancelled cycle as a PR, well by the time I left Jersey I had 10 follies- although admittedly 5 were too small but it goes to show my af of 2 was a load of *****

Saw Jaya and she said before EC she was expecting 4 maybe 5- which I was pleased about, anyway I came round to be told 8 :eek: :eek: well of course that was it, there was no seeing reason I was off in my head in blast and frostie land flying high as a kite ;D ;D, slightly dampened when Jaya said one was immature and 1 borderline but she said she still hoped for blasts so I was over the moon.

The 'call' came yesterday- they ICSI's 6, one died when they injected it leaving 5 and 3 fertilised. Considering that was all I was ever expecting and ever wanted I should have been thrilled but instead was so caught up in blast land I was gutted all day yesterday.

head is firmly back in its place today, I only ever expected 4-5 eggs, this time last week I was faced with proceeding with 2 so 3 fertilised is good and am ^pray^ ^pray^ ^pray^ that they are good quality as I am having 2 put back tommorow at 1pm ^pray^ ^pray^ ^pray^

Anyway- sorry for the me me me me me me me

Pix I think you are also going for EC soon so ^reiki^ ^reiki^ ^reiki^ ^pray^ ^pray^

Ali thanks for your texts ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Hope to catch up soon, after ET tommorow I will prob go home on Wednesday

Tracey - As Ally said you are a brave lady. I really hope that the this weekend has gone well ( as well a scan be expected). How impressive of Max - his logic is impressive for one so little. I'm so pleased that he was able to tell you what he was thinking so that you could reassure him.  ^reiki^  ^hugme^ I love the new pic.

Rachel - so sorry about the BFN! its so hard  ^hugme^

Mags - Congrats on all the eggs and that you are going to blast!! ^banana^

LW - so sorry hun. I really hoped this would be your time.  ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Ally - I hope you got my pm.  ^bigbad^ that immigration officer. As Kate said he'll have us PRs to deal with  ;D ;D. I hope you had a bit of fun before going to NIH.

Pix - I hope you got my PM.  ^reiki^ ^reiki^

Hazelnut - Fab news about the scan! My is only on the 1st June. It seems like forever.

Hi Hazelnut, CDP, Nix, Miranda

Thanks for the feedback re the AWOL AF.  I have been expecting it since last Saturday and since then I have had this v v v slight brown spotting but nothing more.  i usually get that the day of AF and then it starts full force.  I have always felt some comfort from still getting af regularly but even that seems to be coming to an end now.  Its all so depressing at times, isnt it?    :-\

Hello to everybody - love to you all  :-*
