Its mental to think that I have my possible future baby/ies growing outside of my body right now! I mean, my eggs and Kevin's sperm are combined and have become the beginning of a baby already! And, I wasn't even there when it happened! My "children" have already been left alone overnight! Its so bizarre to have them out there somewhere without me... but they're coming home soon! Oh, I can't wait! I just hope at least one sticks!

 

[heart tree]

Lots to catch up on!

Amy I agree with the other ladies, I would lie. I've only had d&cs so I don't know about the risk of waiting. One thing I remember after my first one was that the doctor told me what a good decision it was for me to choose the d&c. He told me there was so much tissue that It would have been extremely painful and maybe not fully successful if I had tried to pass it naturally.

Lucy, I'd it were me, I wouldn't go. But that's me. I've tried facing these situations only to find myself in tears. It is perfectly ok to gracefully decline if you think it will be too difficult.

Sugar, you need to get this sorted. The suppositories might be the best thing for you. Demand a solution to your progesterone issue.

Megg isn't it amazing how we can go from feeling hopeless to hopeful in less than 24 hours? 3 is the magic number! Woo-HOO!!!

Vicky how's the pain today?

Sorry to the other ladies who are dealing with baby showers too. I know time makes things a little easier, but is never really easy is it?

There is nothing I can do about my boss. I know she's not intentionally doing it bit just annoys me when she does it in my face when she traps me at my desk to ask me something. We're not close. She's new to the agency and I don't really like her management style. She's a nice woman, but I have no desire to confide in her. So I just have to deal and will probably continue to complain about it with you.

Got another bfn today to no surprise. Am stopping progesterone suppositories as I want AF to come soon.

Ok off to work I go! xoxo

3 is the magic number! Hoping to take our family from 2 to 3... 3 embies growing... 3rd time is hopefully the charm for me! 3, 3, 3!!!

Its a shame about your boss! Stay strong! Boo @ BFN!

 

[LucyJ]

Complain away sweetie thats what we're here for

Sorry about the BFN if AF does arrive you can have lots of fun making a baby over Chritsmas what a wonderful start to the new year that would be for you

Megg your babies will be home soon

 

[Megg33k]

Here's to a new year and a new start! I really want to see this cycle work out for me, but I can't wait to see the back side of 2010 either. Its hard. This year has been awful, but it could end on such a good note. I don't know how to be excited about a year I hated so much! I guess just knowing that almost all the good parts would happen in 2011 is enough to move forward! I intend to move us all into the preggo category for good before 2011 ends!

Today is the fifth day that i have been housebound hearty!!! The pain has pretty much subsided, i will fight my neurosis and not go in to get a scan tomorrow. I will go to work and get on with it before i go completely bonkers....

Im soooo glad baby showers dont exist in Greece!! From various descriptions you guys have given in the past they sound like a bloody nightmare.... Luce i wouldnt go to the shower, if shes your real friend she will understand. My BFF totally understood that i only saw her a handful of times during her pregnancy. I called her almost everyday and was there for her in other ways.

Hearty, what can i say? Ive been in your position at work too many times....By the end i managed to master the art of looking only at faces. I got pretty good at it, most of the times i didnt notice the bellies. The rubbing to this day is something i cant ignore! It makes my skin crawl! My mom is always complaining that i dont rub my belly like i should, i just cant bring myself to do it after all the times this action made me cry... Im sure baby understands lol!

Ok off topic now! I have decided to do a Christmas dinner for my friends on the 27th after we are through with all the family crap. Hearty ive decided to do a turkey so today i spent like 3 hours on line trying to find the best recipe like the one you did for Thanksgiving. Which of the two links do you think is best???

Fantastic news megg!!! I whooped when I saw this on fb!

 

[MinnieMone]

Megg - I'm so so happy for you, that is such great news, roll on Friday!

 

[yogi77]

Hi Ladies,

Megg that is so exciting!!!! I'm so happy to hear that news.

Hearty glad you had a good time at your party besides the boss' pregnant belly...I know how hard that is Sorry about the bfn today.

Good luck tomorrow Amy I hope you are able to get in for the ultrasound! thinking about you...

Lucy if you don't want to go to that shower don't!!! I didn't even attend my sister-in-law's shower...it wasn't a "real" baby shower because it was via Skype because the family is spread out all over the place, but I knew it was still going to be too hard. I phoned her later that night nad spoke to her seperately and everyone completely understood. I would have spent too much time worrying and stressing about it beforehand, let alone enduring the actual thing...it just wouldn't be worth it...you don't have to go.

Sugar sorry about your progesterone results but hopefully you will get something to remedy that!

Vicky glad your pain has subsided...Wow I didn't know baby showers didn't exist in Greece!! That sounds wonderful!!

Hello to everyone else!

 

[sugarlove]

Megg that' fab news. I'm so happy for you! Note the 3 happy dances for the tripets!

Vicky, pleased the pain has gone. I like the look of the second turkey recipe, but then I'm addicted to cider and probably have it running through my veins

Hearty, I'm kicking butt next week at my appt! Apparently I'm seeing someone different to last time, which may not be a bad thing as when I saw woman last time she told me that the pains I was getting were IBS. Stupid mare! I also pushed and asked how long approx I'd be waiting for a lap after being referred, and I got told it shouldn't be more than 6 weeks! Can't believe I'm happy to have my insides cut open and people peering at my fanjita

 

[vickyd]

Sugar i agree! Im leaning towards the second recipe!
Take no prisoners at your next appointment!

 

[msarkozi]

Megg - that is great news! I seen it on FB right away and I was so pleased. Those 3 eggs can still seperate can't they?? I am hoping for triplets for you

Vicky - I think I am leaning towards the second recipe.....not really sure though. I don't go all out for my turkeys like those recipes do....I just season it with some all purpose seasoning, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika on top.....and I stuff it with homemade stuffing while it's cooking. I want turkey now that you are talking about it!!! lol!

 

[vickyd]

Mel im not a fan of Turkey! I guess we dont know how to cook it properly in Greece as its not a traditional meat here, i mean my parent's generation have pork or lamb for Christmas. I was impressed with Hearty's description of a really moist turkey so i thought id go for it. Ive never roasted a turkey in my life so im gonna go all out lol!!!

 

[NatoPMT]

Hi kids

Sparkly, i had a look at your chart, sorry you dont have a bfp my lovely - end of a cycle is always a bit traumatic. It might be you this cycle (please please please!!) x

Yogi, i gotta do it for my girl but didnt have time last night...this takes bloody ages, but youre like Jennifer Aniston and worth it....

CONGRATULATIONS

he of the shooting and scoring must be over the moon

Hearty, so sorry about the bfn today and stupid pulse grassing you up for not exercising. Roll on the next month, you staying on the meds?

Amy - glad you had a good nights sleep, am praying for you and bean. I agree with Allie, i would ham it up too to get seen

Luce, I have been invited to a baby shower on the 19th Dec, i dont know what to do either. I dont think anyone has to do anything they dont want and quite frankly, your emotional well being is more important - looking after yourself = top priority. If you havent seen her for a while, then seeing her for a coffee or lunch would be more manageable anyway - you could swerve it and send a card and gift but as Mone said March is quite some time off and according to psychic woman, the month both you and i will get forever bfp - oo we will be bump buddies, i just realised. My friend having the shower is the one who spiraled into early menopause on Clomid and is pregnant with a donor egg - she is beyond me being able to feel anything for her except total happiness for her, still will be hard though

Sugar, sorry about your results bebe. what a bloody nightmare, although if im trying to scrape something good, it means that you have a treatment to request. It's confusing because you are showing a temp shift and a substantial one at that. I hope the FS gives up the cream easily, i dont think you will have any problems getting that prescribed though. Well done on assertive appointment making

Megg, thats brilliant news. I gotta say, i was worried for ya, but 3 out of 3 is amazing - well done those eggs. Well, the embryos formerly known as eggs

OOOO!!!!! you have 3 embryos, thats actually like 3 actual babies. Will they put 3 back? in the uk its 2 max unless of exceptional circumstances

Im still cringing about the pain though, hope its a little better today

Housebound Vic, I cant help with turkey recipes cos i dont understand meat, but i can do a good grumble about pain. There's all sorts of stretching and weirdy stuff going on in there too.

I am fine, Im going to an Orla Kiely sample sale tomorrow so I am completely ignoring any TTC stuff and am beside myself with excitement. Got told my section at work is defo being dumped in the restructure, so im out of a job, and obsessed with shopping. Great combination

 

[yogi77]

Wow Nato that is amazing...definitely made me laugh and it brought a tear to my eye...thank you so much

Sorry to hear that you are likely out of a job, when will this happen? Shop now while you can while you're still getting paid!

Once a POAS addict always a POAS addict... I'm still pissing on sticks today...gotta use up my cheap dollar store tests...good news is the line was a lot more visible than the 9dpo squinter.

 

[msarkozi]

Mel im not a fan of Turkey! I guess we dont know how to cook it properly in Greece as its not a traditional meat here, i mean my parent's generation have pork or lamb for Christmas. I was impressed with Hearty's description of a really moist turkey so i thought id go for it. Ive never roasted a turkey in my life so im gonna go all out lol!!!

I am sure you are going to do a great job at it!! please let us know how it turns out I wish I had known you at Easter time.....I tried to cook my first rack of lamb then, and you could have given me great tips!!! Oh, and to me, the best part of a turkey is the turkey sandwiches that come after I make mine with a bun, mayo, turkey, and pickles!! So yummy!!!

 

[vickyd]

At you Nato not understanding meat!!!!!!!!!!!
I like how youre handling being out of a job! I would probably be shitting my pants but then again im sure finding a job in London is not as hard as it is here at the moment... Last wee when i was pissed at my boss i began looking at ads for a chemist and no joke but in the whole of Athens there were only two and they involved sales which i know that id never get...

Yogi you crack me up with the pissing addiction!!! I hate poas...I didnt even pee once back in June lol!

I really have to get out of the house or ill end up looking like one soon enough...Today ive eaten

brekkie: large bowl of choco puffs

snack: lentil soup

Lunch: wild rice smothered in cheese

snack: grilled cheese

dinner: two large slices of spinache and feta pie

 

[Dazed]

Vicky, I'm drooling over the spinache and feta pie! I love greek food (except rice stuffed pickled grape leaves, **barf**).

 

[vickyd]

OOOHHHH Dazed youre talking about one of my faves right there....lovely dolma mmmmmm!!!!

 

[NatoPMT]

yogi: haha at your hormones sending you over the emotional edge and crying at getting congrats. Bless your cotton mittens

ha Vic, look at you go.

Hmm lentil soup. I get called Lucy Lentil at work. Not the most rock n roll nickname ive ever had, but if the lentil fits... and all that

Todays scoff list is well reasonable compared to what i put away every day Vic, all very continental too (apart from the choco puffs, ahem)
