purple- dont squeeze so tight. =) made the mistake of thinking that a big greasy tub of movie popcorn was a good plan.. yikes. super queasy. but Brave was quite good

 

[LilSluz]

We should all drink to the fact that it is Saturday night and we are all beautiful ladies who are still going strong!!! And I, too, will "sacrifice myself" & take up the reigns for any who cannot partake of the tonight! Just let me know how many...

And I'll to Never's news (thanks Purps!)

 

[Lady H]

Hope you enjoyed "larging" it last night Lil. So exciting about Never isn't it! I'm obsessively stalking her journal.

No AF yet, but BB pain beginning to subside so think she will be here by this pm.

 

[purplelou]

Ladies you are all so lovely and completely generous!! I would be so happy if one of you (or all) would kindly take on my wine for me xxxx

 

[dashka]

Nessaw and Lady H - take care of yourselves

Dwrgi - hope you had a nice half pint cider - and are taking it easy hun

Purps - yay thanks for the update on Never.... and hope DH feels better soon! you are a momma to 4 already if you think about it !
Loved the hugging smilie!

Dr. S - loved the new spoiler pic... Glad you liked Brave - I am dying to see that movie -but probably won't until it's on DVD or something.

Hello to everyone and hope you all have a great rest of your weekend!!

AFM - later today we are going to parents' cottage and spending the night -coming home tomorrow afternoon/evening.... (holiday here tomorrow)...
Made a batch of some delicious caffeine-free iced-tea yesterday (steeped some herbs from garden - mint, lavender, and lemon-balm) and added some honey and ice - YUM....ok I know I'm boring but I've found my new summer beverage!!

 

[Lady H]

hi to chicken and nessaw, greek porn, DrH, FM, HA, flyflorida, and everyone else - and big

afm - nothing much to report here. DH is very much better but we had quite a resty weekend cos he wasn't feeling great. watch lots of the olympics and almost cried when Jessica ennis, Mo Farrah and gre rutherford won gold on saturday - it was fab! yesterday we had a small flood from a leak in our conservatory roof...but then it's not often we get rain quite that fierce!! all fixed now though so shouldn't happen again. even the dogs weren't keen to go for their walkies last night!!

hope everyone has a fab monday!

 

[Dwrgi]

Morning everybody! How are we all? Hope everybody had a great weekend?

Lils-I am personally grateful to you and touched by your completely selfless and thoughtful actions in sacrificing yourself for our pleasure (those of us who can't drink!). You are very special indeed! Hope the hangover wasn't too bad!! Where are you at with tests and meds? You said something about an amh re-test? Boy, how I would hide from that one, if it was me! Good luck hun! xx

Dashka-hope you had a great weekend at your parents cottage. It sounds completey idyllic. I loved the pics you put on FB, and those muffins looked to die for! Hope you enjoy your Monday off!

Purps-hello lovely! How are you? Good to hear that you had a resty weekend; you so deserve it! Bah to the rain and the leaky roof. I, too, have been glued to the Olympics. Just get so emotional when anybody wins or gets a medal-I was even crying for Del Potro winning the first medal for Argentina (of course, I have to utilise the line, 'Don't cry for me Argentina' at this juncture!!!), I think it's all the hormones I'm taking!! Take it easy hun! Oh, any news from Andrea? I know that some babies can take a while to arrive after being induced....

Lady H-at least the old hag bag HAS finally arrived. How long was your cycle this time? Onwards and upwards, and new cycle it is! Hope this is The One!

Pad-how are you getting on with those boxes? Hope you get it all sorted soon, Axxx

Ksluice & Tiger-how are your treatment cycles going? I hope that everything is going well? Tiger, think you're having an appointment today to see whether you can get started or not. Huge good luck and hope they say 'Yay'! Good luck to you both, Axxx

Chicken, GrkPorn haha, Bumble, Butterfly, Fro, Asry, Maddy, Dr H, Twinks, HA, Nessaw-big hello and

What's happened to FlyFlorida? Haven't heard from her in a while....

BDM-how are things with you?

Everybody else that I haven't mentioned, a big hello and

AFM-no symptoms, no signs, yada yada. I'm 6DPO according to FF, but I think I ovulated on Monday afternoon, so today would be 7DPO. How soon after ovulation, can you test with a IUI??? I just don't want to waste another second of this summer holiday putting my life on hold because I 'might' be pregnant... Very bored with it all now, tbh.

Love to you all, Axxxxx

 

[purplelou]

Dwrgi - I know - bless him (the argentinian man!) I would think IUI is simialr to natrual cycles - or maybe a day or two less - cos the spermies have less distance to swim (I am guessing) I hope (in the nicest way ) that the rest of your summer hols is a bust and that you cannot drink or eat rare meat or nice cheese etc because you are preggers!!

 

[purplelou]

oh and Never News:

Spoiler

she is still waiting for labour to start (hope I am saying this right now!) she had a pessary already but now has to wait 24 hours for a second - which will be at 2 am tonight, and hopefully that gets oopsie moving. she said that the midwife examined her and could feel the top of babies head - so hopefully she'll have a baby to hug soon!!

Hello lovely Purple

Thank you for the update on Never - I have been wandering over to her journal, it's so lovely to see 'one of our own' reach this point

You have such a good memory! Yes, I had another scan this morning and the issue with the left ovary is that where it's high up, my bladder is actually in the way. He's hoping that once they enlarge due to the Gonal F (starting that on Thursday) it might come down a bit, else they'll see what they can do when I'm under, but they're obviously worried about catching the bladder. Ah, what can you do, just got to keep going and hope that something will go right.

Big loves and to you and all the smashing ladies on here... has anyone else got 'Olympic fever' or is it just me??

Oh, one last 'funny', because we keep talking about my 'high ovary', husband keeps imagining it's sitting there all chilled out smoking a spliff! Well, you gotta laugh, else you'll go mad, right?

Ciao!

C xx

That's all very positive lovely, so fingers crossed ALL will go well! I love your husband's analogy of the doped out ovary!! You gotta laugh, you're dead right!! Good luck to you and thanks for updating!

 

[purplelou]

Tiger - lovely to see you! and yes it's fab to see someone from here reach the end... now - if everyone can just get that bfp Ill be a happy bunny!

I hope the gonal F does the trick on your "spacey ovary!" lol! I seem to remember HA saying that during stimming ovaries can reach the size of an orange so that would likely make it much easier to get to! fingers crossed for you! keep us updated!

oh and yes - there is quite a lot of Olympic fever about!! (I don't even like sports and I cannot do any of them but I completely sucked in!!)

 

[padbrat]

Mwahahaha... spliffed out ovary Tiger! Praying your bladder stays way away from the spaced cadet!

Dwrgi... I would personally wait until 14 dpo... that is what I had to do with ED... plus I have iron will power! NOT!

Purps as ever the messenger of good tidings! Not long til we will be waiting on news from you....

Lils .... NO! My wine you can't have any! So there! .... unless you want to help me finish the bottle! Hehehe

Dash you summer drink sounds lush!! Send some over! LOL... where in Canada are you? My friend has just returned back to Calgary and I am coming over to see her... only got to wait for another 2 years... Stampede 2014!

Lady H... it is pants... that is all I can say...

Nee what a nightmare... change docs?
