[vickyd]

Ive given you something to do hahahaha!!!!!

 

[Megg33k]

I'm so sorry for those of you suffering through this Christmas. Its totally unfair! I won't try and do any cheering up, because I know its annoying after a while. But, I will keep the faith for you all when you can't find the strength to do it yourselves. And, I'll have you and your angels on my mind and in my heart this season!

 

[grandbleu]

Hearty - my OH brought this up to me the other week saying "Hon have you ever imagined the possibility that you will never have a baby and we won't have kids because I have" I was going to kill him and burst into tears immediately but now after some thought it's probably healthy just to entertain the possibility to prepare myself...I made a pact with myself that I don't want to do any extra efforts (IUI, IVF..etc.)...adoption just isn't on my radar...I know I may change my mind depending on how long my journey is but that's how I feel now. Anyways I don't really know my point except that I've definitely envisioned my life in different ways. I haven't given up (no way!!!) but I've put more thought into how life is definitely not predictable. So just a big hug from me

Hi discoramas

well Miss Meggling, i saw your rather exciting news on FB.

CONGRATULATIONS

Hearty, I hear ya. I pmd you, but you will know that

Hi Sugarplum, Sparkly, Allie, Dazed, Razzer, jen, hoping, Amy, Bleu - 2011 is looming

and to Cazz, Vic, Luce, Yogi Bear, Mel, Sassers, Jaymes, Gibs - glad you preggos are doing well

Ive had to have a bit of a break to try and be less obsessive. But im still obsessive. Husband is home in spite of the best efforts of Heathrow

xx

 

[NatoPMT]

haha at Mel and Vic taunting each other

 

[Megg33k]

Thank you, Nato! You've been sorely missed around here!

 

[heart tree]

Liz, thanks for that. It is helpful. I will probably try IUI if I have to, but not sure about IVF. If they could manually implant into a place in my uterus that was healthy, I would go for it, but that's not what they do with IVF. I can't justify spending that kind of money just to have the embryo implant in the same place that all the others have and then lose the baby. Like you, it is important to envision life in different ways. I'm starting that process now. It isn't easy, to be sure.

Hi ya Nato, glad to see you back. Now that hubby is back you can focus your sights on 2011 (unless, of course, some super sperm hung out for a while until the egg did appear and then attacked it) which then would make you pregnant right now.

I didn't see a PM from you. Weird.

We are getting released from work early today and then I'm off until January 3! Tim had the day off today. He is coming into SF to buy me presents. I work in SF, so I'm going to meet him for some food and drinks. We'll probably do a little shopping too. I think that will help lift my spirits.

Oh yeah, negative OPK again today. WTF? Maybe tomorrow? FX'd. Then I could make my Christmas baby.

 

[Megg33k]

I'm counting on your Christmas baby, Hearty! And, I totally get what you mean about telling it where to implant. If only, right? I can't imagine that we're far off from that sort of therapy. They do place them very carefully with IVF... Is there any chance that their placement at transfer COULD have an effect on where they implant? I have no clue, because I've never had to check on that. But, it seems a question worth asking!

Hey girls well I'm plowing my way thru a tub of ben and jerrys and had reduced price Tesco party food for dinner. Diet defo starts in the NY! I'm going to give Rosemary Conley diet a blast. Far more healthy than the other one and incorporates an exercise class too.

Nato good to see you back. Did you get my PM?

Hearty, really sorry to hear you're downjust think, you could be on your way to conceiving your forever baby this month. I agree with you about adoption. It's a selfless thing to do, but I've seen people have major problems with the kids, and it's put me off. I think the chance of getting a baby, certainly in the UK is pretty remote too.

to anyone else who is feeling low at the mo. I actually feel quite happy today for a change, so I will have some PMA for us all! I think the IVF session last night made me see that there is still hope, albeit an extremely stressful way to do it.

 

[Allie84]

Well, Sugar, as we see with Megg, it can be worth it! Glad your PMA is around today. Enjoy that Ben and Jerry's!

Nato, it's soooo lovely to have you back. 2011 is going to be the year of all of our BFPs.

I would adopt, foster, use a surrogate, and try IVF or IUI. The problem for me with those things is $$$$. But I figure in 10 years if I don't have a baby I will hopefully have forged a career in the meantime that would allow me those things.

Hooray for all of our Christmas vacations!! I slept like 11 hours last night to start mine off. It was wonderful. Do any of you ladies have to work next week?

 

[sugarlove]

Lovely new pic Allie!

Megg Hearty's blanket looks fab in your journal!

 

[msarkozi]

Yes Allie, that is so true. The money it costs for happiness is just unreal. I pray that you don't have to go that route.

Welcome back Natodeer!!

Vicky, I am determined to find it now that I know it is there. I just need to put away my groceries first

 

[NatoPMT]

Hearty, I hear ya. I pmd you, but you will know that

arses. Its almost like i said that to taunt my future self. I wrote it out, then mustve just shut the window or something as its not in my sent messages. I dont have time to write it again. arses arses arses

I defo got your pm sugar, you are more pm savvy than me. i am pm stupid. I will attempt return pm. Ooo when are you starting IVF? yeay at stressful solutions

Hi allie, yes yes we will not get left behind in 2011. we will all be bfp queens of 2011.

Hi megg, when do you get a scan so we establish the number of babies present?

 

[sugarlove]

Nato I sent you another PM the other day and lost that, so I'm not that PM literate!

Got an appt at Sheffield Care on 10th Jan to find out more about egg sharing. Don't know for sure we'll go down this route, but we're certainly looking into it. Since I'm getting the heave from work some time next yr, I reckon I might as well have a shot of IVF whilst they are still paying me!

 

[Allie84]

Lovely new pic Allie!

Megg Hearty's blanket looks fab in your journal!

Thanks, that's me about 5 minutes ago. I'm waiting for my BFF to get on Skype and getting rather bored.


I think the egg sharing thing sounds super cool. What a way to help others and help yourself.

 

[Allie84]

So, what are everyone's plans for Christmas?

Tomorrow we're going to the big family thing at my aunt's farm about 2 hours away. There will probably be 50 people there! My mom's the oldest of 11 children. The only thing is my mom and dad aren't going, which bums me out but I think it's a bit too much for my mom.

Then on Christmas Day Alex and I will have my parents over for dinner and presents, just the four of us. I'll eat a lot of chocolate and watch A Christmas Story.

 

[msarkozi]

Ok here goes!

you look so cute Vicky! Can we have another one???????

 

[Jaymes]

Allie, Love the shirt in your new avatar

Hearty

NatoDeer Welcome Back Love! We missed you!

Preggos... On the alcohol front... I went through a really rough patch when I lost Jesse, and drank WAAAAY too much. Other than that I don't really like to allow myself to drink as I have a lot of alcoholics and other addictive personalities in my family. That being said, I would love to have a glass or two of ANYTHING right now, but only because it is forbidden and I tend to be the type that doesn't like to be told I can't do something. Makes no sense I know, I try to tell myself that all the time.
