Morning ladies

Nat - good to hear you are sounding nice and positive! Hope the acupuncture helps you along!

Stork - great news on the scan. I know what you mean about the downs nuchal fold thing, we weren't going to act on any news about Downs, but when they told us the nuchal fold was perfect we were so relieved. I can't believe how quickly the weeks are going by either, and our detailed scan is only just over 3 weeks away...

We took advantage of a sale in our local nursery shop, and have ourselves a swanky new pram, with buggy and car seat attachments - I collect it today! Also, MiL got us a Moses basket and we have been given a crib and cot, which we've still to collect. Nursery is all cleared out, ready for decorating after the scan... Very excited!

Ink - hope your washing fairy comes and does it all for you!

Mama - thanks for the comment on the bump - I am rather fond of it myself! It's growing by the day. And, I got all my maternity clothes in the post on Friday, so cleared my wardrobe of stuff that won't fit for months (obviously keeping for afterwards) so it's nice to go into the wardrobe and not think 'that doesn't fit' with everything!

Morning all, I'm finally getting over a nasty bout of flu. I'm not sure if it was piggy flu or not but it was horrible! Oh was ill with it as well so we've been a right pathetic pair! How's everybody doing?

Morning ladies

Ink and Lou, sorry to hear you've been feeling poorly. There is a lot of it about. OH had a cough for over a month leading up to Christmas, ended up with a week's course of antibiotics and it's finally gone over the last week or two. Mum and my brother both had colds over Christmas too.

Lou, have you had your blood test and SA results? x

 

[Toots3495]

Hey nat, I have an appointment on 10th feb to have my tubes flushed out with the dye. It was supposed to be this week but I wasn't able to get the time off so I had to rearrange it. I'm quite upset that I've now got to wait even longer just because of my stupid job but there's not a lot I can do about it. We still have not received any thing about oh sperm results. I thought they would send us the results but maybe we just have to wait till hospital appointment to find out. I'm totally fed up with the whole thing at the moment!

 

[donna79]

Hi ladies how are we all ?

 

[Toots3495]

Hi Donna, how's you? I'm in a moany/feeling sorry for myself mood today!

 

[donna79]

Not too bad thx for asking sweetie, getting about better now can actually stand upright !! stitches come out tomorrow .....
back to work end of the month.
Hey there's nothing wrong with feeling a bit that way out we all need to let our feelings out every so often

 

[Nat0619]

Hi Ladies

Sorry Donna but think I've lost track a bit of what's been going on with you What have you had done? Sorry for asking and hope you feel better soon.

Lou, that's rubbish about the results. You'd think they'd let you know. Did you get your blood test results?

x

 

[donna79]

No worries , they diagnosed another ectopic and I had methotrexate injection to resolve it , however it didn't work and I ended up going for emergency surgery and now have no tubes and another 6 inch scar running just below my bikini line.
Been walking like alittle old woman all hunched over .... all I needed was the wart and the cackle and bingo ! Snow White beware !!!!!!!
Don't feel too bad now can stand up straight

 

[inkdchick]

[donna79]

[Nat0619]

Donna, so sorry to hear what you've been through. Sending you lots of

Good to hear you are feeling a bit better though, hope you heal quickly and are soon back to normal x

 

[donna79]

Good Morning all
Nat We expected the worst tbh, at least now there is no chance of it happening again as I have no tubes left( my decision after 3 I think it's unfair to put DH and LO through it anymore).
On the plus side we have our first consultation with an IVF specialist come through for the end of Feb, I have decided to donate my eggs so half for me and half for a couple who needs them.
Feeling really good and positive about helping others even if we aren't successful in our ivf attempts.

 

[Toots3495]

Morning ladies, donating your eggs is a lovely thing to do Donna. You'll really be helping out someone who needs it. Is the ivf costing you a lot of money or is it done through the nhs?

 

[inkdchick]

morning ladies hope you are all well, my cold is now on its way out , thank god its been a bad one !,
Donna good luck with the ivf appointment i wish you all the very best hun, and donating is a lovely thing to do aww
How are you lou

 

[Toots3495]

Hey ink, the flu I had last week has left me feeling totally washed out. I've also now got a horrible cough! It certainly has been a nasty bug! Glad to hear that you're feeling better.

 

[windswept]

Sorry to hear so many of you are poorly. Donna - I can't imagine how awful the past wee while has been for you, but I am so glad to hear you being so positive and so generous to share your eggs. You've had a really tough time of it and deserve for the IVF to be a success... Best of wishes!

Well, not much happening with me. Went to the maternity ward yesterday as my abdominal pains are back with a vengence... It may be the cysts playing up again, or it may be a wee infection. Also got the flu jab, which has left me with a large hot, sore bruised red patch on my arm, and serious sniffles, sore throat and headaches!

Haven't felt bubba move for a while, but hoping to start to feel it from the outside soon... It will be good when that happens. Mr Windswept might not be able to come to next scan, which is not very good - but I don't want to put it back again as I am a little worried about cysts.

That's all that is happening with me. January blues have struck!
