Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[gilmore85]

Good Luck Ash fx !

Danielle sounds like you have everything well planned out

 

[Razcox]

Skoer - Hugs hun its not easy LTTTC, we all think its going to be so easy when it starts. we have been TTC for over 3 years now and sometimes it all gets me down too xx

FF - Glad you have had a productive morning!

Ash - Good luck and hope that temp stays good and high for you x

AFM - is going at last so fingers crossed for a good cycle with lots of BDing. It was very heavy so hoping it was having a good clean out and i am all ready for a BFP soon.

Also got a letter from the FS in brum to my PCT about my funding, they now have the facts and figures they need so really hope this means we will find out about our IVF with PDG funding soon. Been waiting since bloody July - dont you love the NHS!

 

[urchin]

Gosh look - everyone's dropped in to say helloooooo
Nice to see you all

Jeo - lovely to see you me duck xxx

Wannabe - I hope Oreo makes a speedy recovery, it's such a worry when they're hurt isn't it xxx

Gillmore - of course we don't mind - you're very welcome to join us, the more the merrier xx

Raz! long time no see! puppies! how fantastic is that - we need pictures, that's what we need *nods emphatically*

lucylou - that sounds like a complete farce....IVF is definitely scary, and I know for me I was very sad when I learned that it just wasn't going to happen naturally for us. Then even sadder to find that my eggs were hard boiled and so it would need to be donor eggs or bust. But the thing is, once you've got your head round it, it's just what you have to do to get to the thing that you want so much.
But, it might be worth you looking into other options (possibly napro technology) to see if you can get his results improved, before you go down the IVF route

Skoer - another old face dropping in very glad I logged in
sorry about the sperm results ... you're right, all of that stress can defo affect the troops, so maybe concentrate on building him up before testing again?


AFM I got the call from the clinic to say that egg collection is going ahead on Monday. So Mr Urch is to go up in the morning to do his bit for the team, then transfer will be wednesday (or very possibly thursday depending on how things go)
My last injection will be sunday, with joyous pessaries starting monday morning ... oh, and the horrid progynova continue at the current level (12mg per day) until 2 weeks after transfer - meh!

Hey ladies! Happy Weekend!

I just wanted to share the happy news with you all [Nobody else I know is awake right now]

We're adopting an Italian Greyhound Puppy this afternoon! My stomach has butterflies and my heart keeps skipping [This must be what it feels like to get a positive pregnancy test! lol]

Her name is Rogue and she is 5.5 months old.

We currently have a 1.5 year old Italian Greyhound and 4 year old Dachshund
I can't wait!!! I'm so excited!!!

 

[wannabeprego]

@Skoer, I am so sorry you are feeling down and having such a ruff time. Us girls are here for you if you need someone to talk to!!! Big hugs to you!!!

@Ash, That is so exciting that your temp is still up!! I got everything crossed for you!!!

@Stucki!!! That is so great that you got a new puppy!!! He is such a cutie pie!! I just love dogs!!! i have been thinking about getting a buddy for my dog Oreo but I havent made up my mind yet.

Speaking of Dogs, my dog is feeling much better today and is walking normal on her back paws again. Yesterday we were putting baby socks on her back paws when she would go outside to go potty, and to hold up the socks we put my stretchy hair ties around the tops, and me and DH were cracking up laughing at how funny she looked and was walking with those socks on.. LOL... But I am relived she is back to her old self today again!!! I think cleaning her back paws and putting on the vaseline helped alot!!

I just got done baking cupcakes for me and DH and they cam out super yummy!! They are vanilla cake with lemon frosting and sprinkles. Not exactly diet friendly but i made them with egg beaters and margarine instead of real butter, and low fat milk, and they still came out yummy and moist. I can tell that Dh likes them since he ate 3 already...

Here is a picture of my cupcakes...




I found this super easy recipe online if anyone wants to try it out, I made it the same way the website said except i used the healthier ingredients that I mentioned above and it came out nice and moist!! It was still delicous!! Just make sure you whip the butter and eggs together very good at first, I recommend melting the butter a little bit to soften it up and make it easier to mix.... I ended up making two batches of the mix so I could have more cup cakes since one batch didnt make that many.

Tomorrow DH and me are going to go check out the Science museum. We havent ever been to this one before so I am looking forward to it. I always find these kinds of museums to be alot of fun....

stucki - that puppy is gorgeous ... we have 2 whippets (so a bit bigger than IG's, but a similar kinda houndie - a LOT more chilled though ) and one big hairy lurcher

here they all are, winning prizes in the summer

Left to right we have:
Digit: my boy - he's about 8 now
Stig: Mr Urch's puppy - he's just a year
Flynn: AKA The Big Hairy 'Hing! he's Mr Urch's too, 7 years old and looking very grey in the face

I wouldn't be without the dogs - life would just be too plain without them

 

[MrsHowley81]

Loving the dogs..... Urch especially Loving the name Flynn (my maiden name) and middle name for (if we ever have) a boy. We have Ruby who is a Yellow Lab who is my baby and she is very spoilt

 

[urchin]

Hurrah for Ruby!
We need more dog pics (or cat pics, rabbit pics, lizard pics!)
Where is Oreo????

I declare it officially LLTTC#1 Show Us Your Pets Week

 

[Skoer1360]

[wannabeprego]

Hi girls,

She has like no hair on her belly and it is pink with black spots... LOL.. she is so sweet and a very well behaved dog!!!

[MrsHowley81]

Ha Ha we have such beautiful pets in this group

 

[MrsHowley81]

Ruby on the first day we got her which was hubby's 30th b'day and also My dog and Bella who is my mother-in-laws dog going for a joy ride
anyone else got silly pet pictures

 

[ashknowsbest]

Well I took a test and it was bfn. I'm a little sad of course but im still going to enjoy my vacation!!! Now that I know I can go in the hot tub . On to February.

 

[fisher640]

Excellent idea Urch!
We actually do have lizards! DH is allergic to everything under the sun. Unfortunately I'm working this weekend an my iPhone doesn't let me post pictures so I'll need to post pet photos Monday when I'm off next.

Ttc wise I'm in an apparently long and confusing cycle. I'm roughly CD 30 right now but because of vacation& mixed signals plus a lack of BBT I'm not positive but might be 9dpo. Bizarre.

 

[stuckinoki]

Awesome pups and kitties!

We actually ended up not adopting her yesterday. She was cute and friendly and well behaved but unfortunately, something just didn't click between us.

DH was kinda bummed because he wanted another pup but we're just going to wait until we get home and adopt a pair of retired racing greyhounds

There's a rescue about 2 hours from our next duty station [and after this, we won't ever have to worry about overseas stations ever ever again!] So we'll be adopting. I had a retired greyhound years ago and he was the sweetest, most loving pup I've ever met.

Here are some photo's of him [he's over the rainbow bridge now]

Stucki - Sorry it didnt work out with the pup but i do love greys x

Urchin - Good luck with the transfer this week will be keeping my fingers crossed.

Ash - Sorry about the BFN but enjoy your time away and the hot tub!

AFM - Keep forgetting to POAS for my CBFM and to take my temp been such a while since i had to do it i cant seem to bet myself back into the routine. Oh well will try to remember for tomorrow.

 

[MrsHowley81]

Stuck your greyhound is lush, loving the pearl necklace
Raz those puppies are so blimming cute, makes me uncontrollably broody, but I know we simply haven't the time for another pup right now with the IVF looming, but I so would get another one

 

[ashknowsbest]

Got a temp dip this morning so AF should be here soon.
