[beachgirl]

LJ-woohoo, what fantastic news, congratulations on your BFP x x x

 

[fluffy jumper]

Pam.  Fantastic news.  Are you going to have another beta done in a couple of days or just wait until your scan? 

LV.  You me and Pix will pratically be neighbours as we all live in Surrey.

Sorry for no more personals.  I have to leave work now and we are going out for my Dad's birthday dinner tonight. 

 

[Donkey]

Pam wonderful news!

[May74]

Thanks Everyone,

I am so worried about the bleeding, the more I read the more I worry because although it is common most of the time it is 1-2 days of spotting and I have now had 3 days of bright red bleeding 

Tracey - I am having more bloods taken on Monday so 

Anne- love the pictures 

that the bleeding will stop 

Pam 

 

[Ourturn]

Just a quicky

Pam - great news re the bloods! Congrats!  Re the bleeding. Did you have 2 embies put back? Could be that maybe one didn't make it but the other did? Would explain the rising levels and why you felt so sick very early on? Anyway good luck for the next blood test 

Little Jenny - wonderful news, congratulations! 

Ladyv great news re the house!

Hi everyone!

Had a spray tan today and dh says I look dirty! Should look much better once I shower it off in the am!

Night all

Anna x

 

[lucky_mum]

Pam - great news re the beta hope so much the bleeding stops soon and levels continue to rise - sending you lots of

Lucy - yay!! re mortgage! hope you will be very happy in your new house (and garden!)

Kate - think you may have already contacted Eva and Jana from your earlier post - if not then here are the email addresses: accommodationbrno@hotmail.com is Eva's address - she has a studio and a one-bed apartment (we stayed in the studio) - there is a website but I can't find it! maybe ask the girls on the Reprofit thread for the address? The other (slightly nicer) one is Jana's on info@brnoaccommodation.eu - website address http://www.brnoaccommodation.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=63 - good luck!

Lots of love to everybody else!

[shortie66]

Hi ladies

Steph hunny - pm'd you - thanx for your info 

Sobroody - dirty girl    hope you havent got ur best sheets on the bed 

Pam - still  ur numbers go up hunny, if i remember right didnt lainey bleed for a few days too and she's 16 weeks now. 

Oooo girlies think i gotta go bed, i may have had one too many 

 

[Kazzie40]

Hi girls - just a quickie to say congrats to little Jen and Pam  Pam I think bleeding is very common early pregnancy and I also remember Lainey having similar too, I think it is most especially common with multiples so  everything still looking good on monday.

Don't know if and when I will test by POAS, far too scared I'm afraid!

Good luck Pix for you if you are POAS or if not for Tuesday.

I'm having beta but having it done at docs so be lucky to get it back for Wednesday!!

Take care love Karen xxx

 

[Ocelot Cub]

Just popping on to say:

Mags - very sorry to hear about your BFN. All looked so so positive for you though so hopefully this is a numbers game and you will get there next time 

Little Jen - Congratulations on your BFP, all sounds good this time so please enjoy the next few months 

Pam - fab news and yes bleeding in early days is SO common, i went to visit my friend who now has a little boy after the most scary time early on, so get celebrating!!! 

Karen and Pix - wishing you so much luck for your test days, so close now you must be going up the wall!! I really really want to see this happen for you both 

Anne - glad that the charloua is giving you so much joy and happiness, you so deserve it xxxx

Ali - babes how are you?? 

Jo Mac - how are things there?? 

Fishy - my little monster charlie did the same thing last night but I managed to fight him off until about 9am which has to be a record!!

Purps - how are you darling?? You ready to go again soon?

Lucy - great news on house, I wish I was moving out of town sometimes.

Steph - oh so exciting that you are nearly there, your description of waking up to the cot got me  too, I am so happy for you. I truly wish I could take over the list from you, and you have done so well to keep it up to this point, but I really don't think I can deal with doing it, particularly as I am not really reading much these days. I am sorry for copping out. 

Tracey - as per my PM absolutely thrilled about your news and cannot wait to follow your progress 

Almond - have you been on that retreat yet? How are you feeling about stuff? 

LW - glad that you have got all the insurance stuff underway, what a big pain in the bum though. You have handled everything magnificently. 

Sam - hope hols were really wonderful and the tonic that you P & S needed as a family 

Kate - really looking forward to following your tx too hon. Glad you seem to be making the most of life in the meantime 

Nix - hiya hon 

Donkey - hiya - how are things??

Phew exhausted now and it is only 9am!!

I am sorry that I haven't been around. Basically if I am honest I have been feeling a bit out of it on this board for a while now. I am not doing IVF and have no current plans to do so and I find it really hard to watch others go through the process particularly if they end up with loads of eggs/embies as I really wanted to at least get to ET with my own tx, something I never managed. I know this is horrible and irrational of me to feel this way, and I do wish everyone success genuinely from the bottom of my heart, particularly since I know that having loads of top quality eggs/embies doesn't necessarily mean an end to this heartache, its just hard thats all. For some reason every new BFP makes me feel that mine is further away, not closer, like there were only so many handed out on this thread and i'm not going to get one (does that make any sense at all!!) I probably should have never been here anyway as I am not a poor responder, I am a non responder, its just when I joined last year there wasn't really anywhere else to go as the POF thread was so so quiet. I think that I have realised that FF used to do me good and make me feel better and now it doesnt it is probably time to move on. I will never say never but I will probably be around alot less (posting at least  ) I have a long road ahead of me, as indeed we all do, and I need to find a way to make the time I have between here and achieving my family meaningful. I don't want to look back and think "wow where did my thirties go, oh yeah I sat in front of a laptop for 5 years". Therefore I want to stop obsessing and start living again. I think that would be easier if I was not so involved here. Watch this space though, I may not be all that successful as I have been addicted to this thread for over a year now!!! I don't want to seem ungrateful, I am so so humbled by all the support I have been given, you have all each in your own way helped me so much to get through the hardest and darkest days of my life and I love you all so much for it  I would like to continue to do meet ups though so please PM me if anyone is planning anything and please don't feel that I don't want to talk to you all, if anyone needs me please PM, **, text, email or phone me!! It will always be lovely to hear from you 

I hope by getting this off my chest I havent upset anyone.

Hope everyone enjoys the sun today.

Lots of love

Al xxxx

 

[beachgirl]

Oh Ally  I know exactly how you're feeling, will PM you shortly x

 

[Miranda7]

Oh Ally, I hear ya.

Statistically I used to think like that too - if the success rate is this, then every person who gets lucky puts me further away from my own success.

But by getting all this knowledge from others you've certainly improved your chances, and you've recently made huge strides towards understanding how your body might produce that golden egg.

If coming on FF isn't making you feel better though, you're right to back away. It's hard to draw back once you're immersed though, as Lucy will tell you!

For now though, I hope you feel more positive soon.

 

[purple72]

Hello ladies!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO LJ AND PAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy for you both!! LJ I thought you'd not mentioned anything so presumed you'd done it!! 

Pam  for high levels on Monday for you chickie!!

Ally  thinking of ya hunny

Hello and hugs to EVERYBODY else thinking of you all

Sx

 

[fluffy jumper]

I have had to come indoors from sunbathing in the garden because it is so hot - fab isn't it.

Pam.  I was told by the nurse that did the scan that she has seen people with absolutely loads and loads of bright red blood and still go on to have a healthy pregnancy.  Try not to worry.  I know it is impossible. 

I started taking the OCP today.  I have to take it for 2 weeks then a prostap jab to downreg. 

Hi Purple.  What are you up to this weekend?

Ally.  I am sure everyone respects your decision to keep of ff.  I must admit, I do think, as much as this site is a fabulous support, it does by its very nature keep you obsessed with IF and it is very hard to lead a normal life while checking ff all the time.  I will text you my outcome in a month or so.  You are a very special woman and don't you forget that.

 

[cdp]

Hi All

Hope everyone is enjoying the great weather. Have put cream on the cats ears and have been sat outside for the last hour.
Enjoy the kitten days Anne, as now Tiba is 2 I'm sure she doesn't play as much in case it ruins her street cred. with the other cats.

Lucy great news on the house.

Love Claire

 

[May74]

Hi Everyone,

Sobroody hope you are looking less dirty today I could do with a spray tan I am deadly white!!! I have never had one though- do you have to stand in paper knickers and be actually sprayed or does a machine do it? (sorry I know I am probably stupid)

Stephjoy Seeing myself on the PR ladies with bumps is so scary- especially seeing as I am bleeding I am sure I will be on the PR ladies who experience a miscarriage soon, the bleeding just wont stop

Ally I am so sorry that you feel that way, and am sorry if I personally have make you feel worse. I do know how you feel, each time I started a cycle there are always people cycling at the same time and as they get their BFP it feels like that means I wont get mine, its a horrible process- especially when I didnt even get to EC. Happy as I am for them to get a BFP it feels like that means one less chance for me. I that your time will come

Purple thanks for your message, so far there has not been any celebrating. Just so far as I am so scared of loosing it with all the bleeding. I so want to be able to celebrate

Tracy Only 2 weeks to go that is amazing, I am so pleased for you. Thanks for your message. I have read that there is a 50/50 chance of loosing it if bleeding so am just waiting to see, the bleeding hasn't got any better- but then it hasnt got any worse

Well today was my 3rd day of sitting in and going stir crazy and getting more each time I go to the toilet and there is still bright red blood there. Just cannot feel happy at all and DH looks like someone just died instead of I got pregnant Sorry dont mean to be . Hope everyone is having a nice weekend

Pam

 

[fluffy jumper]

Pam  I do know exactly how you are feeling sweetie.  The worst thing is that you can do nothing but wait.  No amount of people telling you that all is going to be OK makes you feel any better.  I wish I could magic the next couple weeks away for you so you could wake up having had a scan and seen a hb.
No amount of people telling you that all is going to be OK makes you feel any better

 

[mag108]

hi all
Has been a real strain the last few days. Thursday and Friday I was in work and found that v hard. Was still waking at 5am or 5.30 am so very tired. Once I got home friday and had some time in the sun (and today was glorious, did lots in the garden) I feel better. Been out with friends, had lots of vino, coffee...

Lots of you on here will have exp of failed cycles and your stories give me hope. The stats are so sobering so to achieve a positive is a blessing. I dont feel that anything i did contributed to this neg cycle. I gave it my best. It didnt work.

I havent broken down or even cried much (but I have spent so much time in the last few yrs upset/devastated, I cant do it right now). Not that I havent been upset, its been very full on.

Thanks for all your support. Got some time in North Wales to relax and take stock.

[LV.]

Hi Mags,

It's understandable to be finding things hard but please take comfort in the act that your response was actually excellent and the fertilisation rate outstanding. So you responded well and have good quality eggies there is every reason to be positive about your next attempt. It's often a numbers game with this malarkey and I have every faith that your time isn't too far away. Like you said - you couldn't have done any more and as frustrating as it is to put a negative cycle down to "one of those things" unfortunately that's how it goes sometimes.

Sounds like you've been getting out and having some fun with your friends which is the best tonic, you need some treats! Hope you manage to get out today and enjoy some more of this beautiful weather 

Happy Sunday to everyone - how many BBQs are on today then? We had 2 yesterday - for lunch and then dinner and having another one today. Yum - where's me kebab?
