Can I just comment Bex you have just posted the 4000th post in this thread!
4000 messages of love & support for each other that is quite something to be proud of.
This hasn't been an easy journey for any of us but I have made some fantastic friends around the world on this thread. Thankyou all.

Wish & Bex hope surgery goes ok for you both.

AFM the solid cyst has reduced but they want my consultant to have a look so another scan next week.

Wish and Bex - Good luck with your ops.

Tommy - good news that your cyst has shrunk, hopefully it will shrink more.

Orchid - is your transfer imminent? Keeping everything crossed for you.

AFM - I had my 12 week scan on Friday, baby was not playing ball though, was lying on it's side with its back facing out and would not move no matter what we did, so had to go out and jig around, empty half my bladder and walk around. By the time I went back in baby decided to wake up and move so she managed to get the measurements. My official due date is January 22nd.

Here's a pic:

Congrats Cookie!! That is so cool and lovely to see the pic I am so happy for you!!

Tommy - here's hoping by next week it's gone and you can get started with your IUI asap!!

to everyone else - how are you all doing? Wow 4000 posts - that is incredible! I don't know what I would have done over the last couple of years without this thread!!! What an awesome bunch of girls!

AFM: Well it's been quite a week! We finally moved out of our house on Tuesday, went back Wednesday to clean it out and that was us done - new ppl move in today. Then yesterday was the big day and I had the transfer so it is all done Everything went really well so now I just wait..... and hope and pray!! We transferred 2 so will see what happens.

Anyway I hope you are all well

[IsaacRalph]

So exciting orchid fingers crossed! When are you testing???
Great pic cookie congratulations!
Hi to everyone else try to catch up when I get back from hols. Xx

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Hi ladies, how are you all?

Well today is my Birthday and it has turned out to be a pretty fantastic day. Randomly out of the blue and 2 days earlier than I planned to, I ended up doing a test this afternoon and got my much wanted I'm still in complete shock and have to keep reminding myself that it is still very early days but for now I can't believe it!! I'm going to test again in the morning with a FR Digi test to confirm as I used a cheapie $store one.

Today is 8dp4dt and I tested just after 4pm after having drank quite a lot of water and there is no denying that it was positive.... I think I'm in shock...!!

 

[Braven05]

Congrats Orchid!!! Yayyyy! H&H 9 months to you! So excited for you

 

[Braven05]

And happy birthday! Mine is on Monday!

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Thanks Braven! And happy birthday for Monday! x

 

[Cookie1979]

Oh I'm so happy for you orchid! What wonderful news! I popped on hoping for some good news from you! Could almost jump for joy for you...I say almost because it's early and I didnt sleep well, too tired for jumping lol.

So pleased it worked. Xxxx

Well I had a scare in the week, got up to wee Tuesday night and found I was spotting, had to go to a&e because I'm rhesus negative and need an injection . They scanned me and baby was fine but while waiting for the jab I had a gush of blood. Scared the hell out of me, they sent me off to be examined and think it was caused by cervical erosion . Baby is fine and I think the spotting has finally stopped (has been brown for a couple of days) . Just hope it doesn't happen again. 14 weeks now, trying to persuade hubby that we should get a gender scan at 16 weeks, think it would be nice for reassurance after the scare this week.

So so pleased for you orchid!! You really deserve this xxxx

 

[tommyg]

Orchard Congratulations. Cookie now has a bump buddy yeah!

Cookie sorry you had a scare this week. Fingers crossed all will be ok. If I remember rightly one of our friends also had the same thing ( think it was Lanet).
Here is hoping you and Orchard both have sticky beans and h&h 9 mths.

 

[Cookie1979]

Thanks Tommy, all seems fine. The doctors didn't seem worried and on baby centre forum I've come across so many women who have been through the same thing. Just glad I have a doppler, picked up babies hb fine. Booked a gender scan 2 weeks tomorrow, thought it would be nice to have the reassurance. I obviously thought the worst at the time but have definitely calmed down.

 

[eyemom]

Yeah lanet and I both had an sch. That much I remember. (There may have been more to it, mine was really not too severe as these things go. I just don't recall.) I also had a cervical ectropion later on which bled a little but not as much. Glad they were able to put your mind at ease, Cookie! It's always disconcerting to see blood, but I've come to realize it's not always bad. So happy for you and Orchid!

 

[Srbjbex]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! !!!!!!! Orchid that is amazing news! I'm over the moon for you!! 😀

 

[tommyg]

Hello ladies, how are you all doing? Fantastic for Orchard to have her long awaited BFP, hey Orchard you've been trying a month longer than me, does that mean it's my turn next month????

AFM I had a scan this morning, things are looking good. I appear to have ovulated, Solid cyst has gone, the fluid behind the frimbrial cyst has reduced and it is looking like I should be able to start my final IUI cycle in 2 weeks. Please wish me luck to actually start the blinking thing.

 

[lanet]

That's great news tommy!

 

[Braven05]

Glad to hear things are getting better Tommy. Fingers crossed for you.

AFM, it's kind of a bitter sweet day. My 35th birthday and am feeling like this is the integral year for me. I wanted to have another baby by 35 because I'm worried about the risks. Additionally, this month marks the 3rd year of us trying for #2.

I had a nice day with my family, but feel a little sadness creeping in.

 

[eyemom]

Tommy that is great news! About time you caught a break. It'd be pretty amazing if you and Orchid could be bump buddies.

Happy birthday braven. So sorry it's shadowed by some sadness. I know what they say about 35, but surely it doesn't change things overnight. You're not that much older than you were yesterday. ;-) Glad you had a nice day overall and you get your bfp very soon.
