A ahhh thankyou meg....and ooo take out ! That's a FANTASTIC idea lol...I feel a stuffed crust BBQ chicken pizza on the cards...and that's just for me! Lol
I will try and take things easier...every now and then I MAKE myself sit down with a good ole British cuppa tea...with thoughts of biscuits to accompany it but resisting real hard hahaha...

Wow I have lost some weight this week too...loving that!...
I am tempted to jump on the scales but I shall it for usual Sundays.

Hope you are ok meg...

Hey Girlies,

Sorry I've been out of touch.
Nat, wow - I'm so sorry you reacted so badly. You poor thing!
I hope everything is OK & your heart's healthy. That's very scary! And I guess that'd make sense that you are reacting to meds. Or is it possible you had a panic attack? Panic attacks resemble a lot of the symptoms of a heart attack. You poor thing. But I agree with everyone - you need to take it easy. You don't have to do everything, every day. You gotta take good care of yourself! xo

Meg, I'm looking forward to hearing that you're back in the TTC game & will Ovulate soon. Fingers crossed!!!!

AFM, nothing much going on. Exactly one month from today, I will be going to surgery! We are going in to the RE this Saturday to talk about the surgery & my IVF protocol & costs (gulp).
I'm going to have a busy month & half before xmas getting lots done at work so I may not be around as much lately. But I'll keep everyone posted & keep the lurking!

 

[OurLilFlu]

Glad to hear you're feeling better Nat! And I'm gonna chime in too about slowing it down... I also think barb brought up a good point about panic attacks, I used to get them as a kid and it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. To emerg every time... Not fun. Take some time to relax, often in the day.

Natalie, so sorry you're feeling this way about your moms fall, it is not your fault and the guilt won't help heal anything. Just help her when you can but don't forget about yourself and bub. You need a day for yourself too!

Oooo I'm so exicted about all these almost positive opks, especially Meg's! I'm feeling really good about this cycle for all of you!

Barb, exciting that the countdown for surg is here and hope your appt goes well and that all your questions get answered!

 

[natjenson]

Thankyou barbs and talia...
I will try to take it easier.

It did pass through my thoughts tha is was a panick attack but as I suffer with them regularly (not nice) this was kind of different...the pain was horrendous in my chest..
The doctor put it down to a severe bad reaction to the meds I was on.and that my heart (with flagged up problems) was saying "nooooo way" "not having this!" Lol

I have been quite stressed lately and it's been building up over some time really...not stressed as in the way of not happy but overloading the plate kind of thing you know.

But it's certainly made me step back and re-evaluate things I am taking on and I realise now,I can't be super woman lol...
Anyway her dress just would not suit me- it's not my colour hahaha...

Barbs...one month to go eh... try not to let them nerves get you ok...remember why you are on this journey when they do attack.you will get your rainbow out of this Hun.
So glad you are all booked in finally for Saturday for the chats concerning meds and costs...take a deep breath ok lol

I also see ALOT of women do acupuncture around ivf treatment and retrieval and transfer days...is this something you would consider?...

Can't wait to hear what they say the protocol is going to be for you...barbs I am excited for your ivf love...I have a very good feeling about it.

Talia/Nat - thanks ladies.
I'm only a bit nervous right now for the surgery. I view it as a means to get to the next step. But I know once we approach the week of Surgery, my nerves will act up. I'm just terrified of going through surgery. I wish if I had to have blocked tubes, they weren't Hydro too so then I wouldn't need surgery Balls.

Nat, yes I'm going to do acupuncture before/after IVF implantation. I have someone I've contacted & closer to the time, I"ll let him know of the date & time. There is a small off chance that if things change last minute because of my hormonal timings & the embryo that he may not be available but him & his business partner try to do their best. It will cost me $300 just for that one session. Ouch! But it seems to help woman. And it will be covered under insurance.

Nat, you're right that you're not wonder woman so you need to slow down.
I am sure that's not as easy to do as it sounds but just take the time. Or just enjoy a couple hours with Harry watching a movie or playing or going to the park. Just things that bring you joy & make you smile.

Barb I would be nervous too, I suppose the best thing to do is focus on it being the means to big goal, right? I am excited for you, but I cant wait for your surgery to be over ! One month? That's great. Look forward to hearing how the apt with RE goes on Saturday

Thanks Talia...I hope so too!

 

[barbikins]

well i'm not so sure how much time has flown for me.
but when i think about when i got my diagnosis, that was over 1 month ago.
life's been busy & w/o tracking my cycles & shit life has gone on.
I dont even know what CD I am today! And I don't really care!!!

I just really hope that all this will not be in vain. It's been such an uphill battle and I want the battle to be over. I don't want to have to move on with my life, I am hoping IVF will bring us a baby. But, who knows?

 

[natjenson]

Hi butterfly wolf....I just realised I didn't reply to your post

Yes it is a bit scary what our intuitions can allow us to do...and that's supper cool that you knew your friend was in danger ...it is hard to tell them that tho eh.
I have this happen to me too...I can sense when someone isn't right...if you know what I mean,,,as soon a I meet someone I KNOW if they are ok or not.
Also with a friend once she told me her mom was ttc ...I said well I have a feeling she is already pg...that night she told her mom what I said....her mom tested...she WAS pg....crazy eh lol...
Also I KNOW with scratch cards....they call to me.lol...cool eh.lol.I have one about £500 in a year bc of it...lol....
I NEVER buy them for anyone else hahaha...

So do you ever get a " feeling" with anyone on the thread and you have been right...I have...a few times now...I only every voiced one or two out Loud tho...the rest I kept to myself...incase I was wrong lol

xxx....hope baby Claire is being a good girl with the nights love.

I know Barb.. I am not going to tell you anything is for sure, because it isn't. And honestly It really upsets me when people tell me- oh don't worry its going to happen really soon, or everything happens for a reason, because I don't believe any of that is true, and (I don't mean to offend anyone!) the best thing you can say is that you are hopeful and wish for the best, and positive messages like that, because there are no guarantees. But, what we do know, is that IVF has great statistics so lets rest our heads on that best we can and think positive. I am really hopeful for you Barbs, and I am here no matter what happens. xo

Are you OPK'ing this month Nat?

Mmmm cupcake and spaghetti! You are the best! Can I come over? LOL

And weeeeeeeeeeee puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited for you, you must post pictures!

 

[Nataliieexo]

Hey everyone havent caught up on posts yet, i had 2 wonderful vomiting sessions this morning lol been lying with my doppler listening to my own heartbeat and some wooshing noises i know its too early i was just trying it out lol x

 

[Petzy]

Morning Ladies,

No idea what CD I am on, lol but here's to more OPK'ing today! I have a feeling the OPKs are getting lighter, and then they will get darker soon closer to O, but I could be wrong - today's tests will give me a better idea. Unless I just O'd which I think would be very unlikely... so I'll let you know how they go today

UGH you have no idea how many people including doctors told us not to worry because we are one of those couples where it just will work. Because I was pregnant before. But what's happened in the past - this doesn't dictate our future. And everyone's been proven really wrong. Right now I can't get pregnant unless I do IVF. So how's that for some reality to all those people who were so super optimistic at how I had nothing to worry about? When I have everything to worry about now. Anyway it's OK, there's nothing wrong with everyone trying to keep positive for me & encourage me but realistically, the universe owes me nothing. It doesn't even mean that IVF will work. And maybe we'll run out of money before we can see that reality happen. But I just have to hope not. That's all I have. Hope.
You're right, IVF has the BEST odds. Better than natural BD so if I'm going to get pregnant, I will get pregnant through IVF. And if that doesn't work, then perhaps there's some thing even more wrong with us that we can't fix with science. Or at least, not where affordability is concerned.
So, thank you Meg. I have a feeling you're feeling the way I do about all the positive messages & being told how it's going to happen.
After a while, you just have a hard time seeing it. And reality is - it may or it may not. Our bodies will be the ones who decide on this fate!

And thank you to everyone who's ever encouraged me & have said it will happen. Because there were lots of times when I needed to hear that. It's such an up & down roller coaster ride, ist it?!
