Nat.. thanks so much for your kind words, They honestly mean a lot more to me than you could ever know. I haven't talked about it with anyone really, and it was scary to talk about, but your message was really kind and I appreciate it.

How are you feeling today? Are you any better? I really hope so hun...

Don't worry about the OPK so long as you are BD'ing it doesn't really matter! I hope they arrive today for your own sake though xx

Barb - I am sorry you were so sick with the meds and all that... just so nasty! Are you back to work today? Really hope you are doing better.. update us when you can hun. Excited for step 2 in your journey

Becky - I hope little Harrison is doing well - update us when you can, I know you have a lot on your plate right now.

Sis- Hope all is well with you!! Let us know how you are when you can!

AFM, 3DPO and yawnnnnnnnnn lol... long way to go yet! I plan to test on xmas eve morning, which is 11DPO.. I will get an FRER next Monday I think. I don't want to test early, I hate the BFN's!! Held me hold strong, girls!

I did get my hair done and was happy with it! Did NOT wrap though, I will do that this week sometime

Happy Monday to all.. 4.5 days till xmas holidays for me!

Not that it went but it got alittle robotic feeling to it these past few months....
Let's just say I have burnt a few calories lol...which is always a bonus.

Opks still haven't arrived...I don't want to jinx myself but I am almost certain that the Ewcm is here and that uterus is a little tender today...hoping this is "the gear up"

At this rate I may be testing around New Year's Eve..
I'm doubting that tho lol

Anyways....Becky?....how are things going..li am worried for you Hun.fx for you and your lo.

Hi girls

Sorry I've been away for so long has been actually quite busy today doing a few things I wasn't able to do during the weekend I am feeling a lot better today thankfully. I took today off just to have that extra day to recuperate. I am feeling much better today than I did yesterday or the day before and must really admit that the recuperation from the surgery was not fun at all.
The plan now is going to be to see Dr. B tomorrow morning to go over the IVF plan and also to do a post operative follow up. I have stayed on the birth control pills and will continue to do so until I start taking my injections for a retrieval. So it's going to be exciting and tomorrow I will find out when we will start injections and when I'm going to have the retrieval and when will the implant be so I guess I'll have a good estimate a timeline of when I can find out whether not i i'm pregnant.
No pun intended here but I know not to have all my eggs in one basket about our first cycle however we should have a pretty strong chance provided that there is nothing inherently wrong with my uterus implantation and that the meds are going to be effective for me but IAM prepared that we may have to do a frozen cycle.

So as far as the surgery went they did have to remove both my tubes. they were both badly damaged and unfortunately while moving my uterus around one of the instruments did slightly puncture my uterus so I wasn't able to do the camera test but my doctor is confident that there is no issue and that there's no need to really do that test. Oh and by the way as far as punching maters goes there is no issue with that either he didn't have to end up cauterizing the spot that got slightly punctured as her Birdsall to my surprise from the surgery I have been having bleeding sort of like having a really light period. Which is kind of strange but I guess given that my tubes have been removed and cauterized I guess that sort of makes sense that there would be some sort of trauma to the uterus.
My biggest complaint in terms of discomfort has been the CO2 which was pumped up in my abdomen to do the surgery which is very common during abdominal surgery and those bubbles rise up and cause a lot of pain under the rib cage and also puts pressure on a nerve that hits the shoulder so a lot of people complain of what they call shoulder pain and It can be quite extremely uncomfortable.
Hi still have a bit of the CO2 in my system which is working it's way out other than that my incision sites are sore, my ab muscles are bit sore but it's not been too bad I still have the Steri-Strips on my incision site so I haven't seen them yet but they are quite small once they've come off I will maybe share what it looks like if you guys are brave enough LOL
That's all for now for me I have just spent most the day wrapping presents and I will start cleanup and think about making dinner for the first time this weekend I will be sure to update you girls tomorrow after my appointment just so I can outline when our IVF cycle is going to start and stuff. As missed all of you very much I just been really tired and groggy & not really too much in the mood to be typing out much stuff however I have discovered voice to text so that's what I'm doing right now and it's brilliant so anyway girls I will talk to you tomorrow morning I hope all of you are well I wish you Meg success this cycle and Nat, don't worry too much about your OPK's if they arrive or not I just make sure you get a lot of baby dancing in and you will be just fine.
Sorry to make this sort of somewhat short but I think going forward I'll have a little bit more time to be more regular with my postings and to the rest of you girls to hello and thank you so much for your concern and will be chatting soon bye!
Xoxo

Nat! Glad to hear the 'spark' is shining bright in the bedroom! Love great romping! haha... this may be wayyyyyyy too personal, but DH and I love toys and it helps keep things really spicy... its good to get out of your comfort zone sometimes.. sizzle it up! haha.. glad to hear it

Sorry your sitter cancelled for tomorrow, I wish I could sit for you! haha.. You will have a great time anyways. Look forward to the pics...

@Barb - Too funny - I could definitely tell that you were voice texting haha - isn't it great? I love it! So glad to hear you got another day to overcome the surgery... you should have some timelines tomorrow that is exciting Cant wait to hear about it xoxoxo rest up tonight

 

[natjenson]

Hiya barbs...ok I am going to switch to text talk now -so mind my punctuation and typos lol....
I am doing this bc I just laugh all the way through it and it's sooo much fun...barbs i am so glad that you are almost back on your feet now.
Hehe this text talk is quite funny.

This is great that you are now finally able to start making plans and knowing what's going to happen and when.
I am glad that your surgeon is confident that your perforated uterus is going to be okay and that all looks good up there.
Okay I'm going to stop using the text Speach now it's annoying to have to right all my typos lol.
I suspect my Cornish accent is hard for the text Speach to pick up.lol

Anyways I am so happy your new journey is finally on it's way.
Looking forward to your update on your apt tmr too...awe barbs this is exciting

Big hugs to you lovely lady.

Hi ladies! Its a snowyyyyy Tuesday around here! Brrrrr

4DPO, not much happening for another week! Booo!! lol...

Brought that gift basket into work today for my coworkers to eat.. I am done overdosing on that crap I will be sick every day if I do that!

Hope everyone has a fab day and looking forward to Barb's update

 

[barbikins]

Next year I need to spice things up too girls. IT's been crickets.
You know i've just been under so much pressure. But the pressure is 100% gone in terms of sex for procreation so maybe I can get my groove back.
But the meds I'm going to be on will produce major mood swings maybe. GAH lol

Anyway - girls I didn't go to my RE today. Will go either Thurs or Fri.
I got up & it was a lot of snow outside & first day back so I wanted to be here on time. Anyway either way I wouldn't have made it b/c traffic was horrendous & took us twice or three times as long to get to work today!
Anyway it's not like I"m missing out on anything if I wait until the week's end.

How's everyone? xo

 

[Petzy]

@ Barb you are right re sex for procreation.... you don't have that pressure, so really, it is only about when the mood strikes you! It may be worth putting some emotional investment into that loveee bank for you and Nathan I bet it will do you both some good hehe.. perhaps some holiday inspiration? after a few cocktails? oops!

And you are right about your RE Appt... You can wait till end of week too whatever works! Whoop Whoop! Cant wait till they start stabbing you with drugs! Weeeee xx

3 hours left in the work day lol... who is counting?? I have to do another interview today.. hate them! oh well...

 

[natjenson]

Hi ladies...hate to fly by and run...but I am totally exhausted.
I didn't get to sleep till gone 4am this morning..and then I was up again at 7.30 ....so I was beat before it began.oooops....
But however the day went on to be great...we didn't unfortunately get to do the snow globe picture...the air pump was not working and they had engineers on the job when we got there...
So we hope to maybe get it done next Monday instead....
But I still managed to have a laugh with all the Xmas Statues...and I got Peter to take my picture with a few lol...
Here's one...I am straddling a solider
The looks I got was priceless but hay what's a lil fun with out trying eh.
So anyways...here's one to have a giggle at...(I am actually quite the shy person so for me to do this in the middle of hundreds of people was brave of me lol)

Hope you ladies are all good and well....I plan to get my tired butt to bed very very soon.
Will try to catch up again tmr morning...or maybe after I have come back from Harry's nursary- he's got his first Xmas party tmr..soooo cute.

[barbikins]

LOL nice photos, Nat.
Love you & Santa & you & the nut cracker
I should go get some fun Santa photos!

How are you ladies? I'm going to catch up now from this AM.

Yeah I'll get back to it. I can't have sex at all yet until my bleeding stops though. So maybe by Christmas or so? I know we gotta get back in the groove. No doubt. But this sort of stress in life just takes over & kills my mood entirely!

Anyway so things are a bit funny here at work with Cash Flow right before Christmas & I am not even certain now we're going to get our Christmas Bonus. At least maybe not until the new year? And we're counting on our bonus to pay for IVF. So I have a feeling I will have to wait a bit longer even *sniff*. Ugh this sucks!!!!

Yeah I"m counting down the hours. Less than half of an hour! But Nathan works late most of the time so I will be here after 5pm as per usual.
At least one good news - finished my Christmas Shopping! WAHOOO!


Interview? A job for you or you are doing an interview for your company?

 

[Petzy]

LOL nice photos, Nat.

LOL!! Nat that pic is awesome! You look hot by the way, if you don't mind me saying haha.... love that hot blonde hair! I bet Pete does too!

Barb:

Totally understandable about the sex thing.. wait until its kosher and then see what your feelings are on spicing things up.. I can always contribute to that discussion if you ever want a real TMI talk haha!

That's too bad about your bonuses... I really hope it comes through despite how it looks now... I am not lucky enough to get any kind of a bonus at work ughhhhh its only been 7.5 years! My hubby gets year end bonuses based on sales though and its usually a good one thankfully...

No I mean I am conducting an interview lol I should have been more clear..

My in laws come home from Florida today for a few weeks for xmas.. will be nice to see them after several months of a quiet house! and their puppy too!
