Oh Dash! I didn't entirely forget about this - I did some googling about intralipids delivery & here's place in Toronto area so you can call & find out pricing & see how much notice they need, etc...

https://www.bayshore.ca/locations/toronto-home-care.aspx

Lils - you're so sweet thanks hun.... My RE mentioned that they do intralipids so it should be ok....(they don't use IVIG anymore) I think things work differently here though as the "homecare" stuff would be covered by OHIP (our provincial gov't health plan) so you may have to qualify (ie.elderly, sick etc)... We get a lot of stuff free (ie. doc visits etc...) but our taxes are sky high!

 

[dashka]

Lils - enjoy your girls night out!! hope you had a nice DH b-day.... Hey weren't you going to Orlando this weekend?? Too bad you have to do taxes on Monday... that sucks!!! Yay you are right we are due around the same time for AF - crossing my fingers it's your lucky month!

I know what a coincidence it was that that girl at work talked to me about IVF (we started talking about AD and she basically said how lucky I was that I adopted her at one year and didn't have to go through the first year of baby madness.... I said I WISH I had that first year with my AD...would give anything for it Never had the sleeping baby in arms thing -she was a wriggly toddler from the start (not to mention I don't have that year of her history ) - and then that led to her telling me how hard of a time she had getting preggers /IVF. She advised that if I do go and get a fair number of eggs to do half regular and half ICSI... not sure how that matters but I'll ask RE... (I know what ICSI is -but not sure why half and half?) She is a lot younger than me though -She's 36 and had her first 4 yrs ago and 2nd a year ago.


AFM - well I was all nervous/stressed for nothing... glad I didn't go all the way there for the interview and it was on the phone. It lasted about 10 minutes and that was with small-talk too... So I pretty much cut to the chase with her and found out that the job is way out of my league - basically told her I didn't want to waste her time. I was kind of relieved as soon as she said a big portion of the job was something I've not been trained in ... That's what happens when they don't send you a job description! So all is good -and back on track for RE (and don't have to go to 2nd interview on Wed) The choice is already made for me !!! yippeee!!!

Lils I'm an Occupational Therapist working with people with mental health problems so use my complimentary therapies with them is is great with anxiety and depression. Plus it is great to build relationship with them. I also do sensory integration and regulation and for a lot of my clients that have difficulty tolerating medication it works really well.
Yes I do do massage, head, full body and sports, but only tend to do hands and feet at work because of practicalities, but I'm never short of requests from friends and family. I would love to come over.....

 

[chickenchaser]

AF got me this morning ladies but I'm OK it means I can get on with my tests. Just thinking about what lils said I usually have a 28/29 day cycle but this one was 31 days so do you think I'm best to do OPK to check for O then book my bloods in for 7 days after? Just to make sure I get the timing right.

 

[Lady H]

Chickenc big

Hope you are all well still can't live without you all, thanks for tolerating the lurking! I miss Dwrgi

 

[drhouse]

If I don't get AF tomorrow I am officially late.

 

[Lady H]

Ooooooh Dr H!

 

[purplelou]

Fingers crossed DrH!!! I had a good feeling about August!!

Chicken... Bah!! To the damed witch! So sorry lovely

and to everyone else! Hope you are having a resty weekend!!

I cracked ladies and tested.... I have a BFP... I am 5w 5d

I gotta say I am not confident... I have had very light spotting for 2 days and with my thyroid being so bad I think this may be my 7th loss.

We will see I guess.

 

[purplelou]

Pad honey..... I really really hope this is a pinky for you! And that thyroid gets sorted! Huge big you can at least know your eggs are not all used up as you worried about!

 

[padbrat]

Spoiler

Purps i am just so worried esp with my thyroid being so bad... my Dr actually asked me if I was pregnant when I went to see her on Thursday and I laughed and said no way, not with my thyroid being so bad...

What worries me is my Dr actually looked worried...

Heaven help me! I have just had the booziest week as well followed by the beer and cider fest last night...

not good.

 

[Lady H]

Ooooh Pad, I hope it all works out Hun. I've everything crossed for you.

AFM:

Spoiler

I too tested Friday and had a faint BFP. Good lines on a FRER this am but a scared that it will end badly as its my first ever. I am 3+ 6 days. Keep your fx for me and Pad Ladies!

 

[drhouse]

Omg pad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[purplelou]

Pad....

Spoiler

Pad. The little embryo doesn't take anything from you at all in the first weeks...it's living off its yolk sac, until the placenta developes, so no worries about drinking !

Can you make an appointment to see that nice gp tomorrow, maybe she can tweak your thyroxine or even make an emergency appt for a specialist at the hospital....worth a shot!

I am so hoping for you Hun! Xxxx

Ladyh

Spoiler

I know it's so easy for me to say, but try not to worry, nothing more you can do now, so enjoy every moment

 

[Mirium]

[tigerlily1975]

everyone,

I hope you're all having a good weekend.

Pad: and thinking PINK, PINK, PINK for you darling.

LadyH:

I'm going to head into Lurkdom, ladies. I'm having a really bad time at the mo'. Yesterday everywhere I looked there were women with gorgeous big bumps and I've never felt so bitter in all my life. I'm really not in a good place. I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that this will never happen for us and I have to try to move on with life. I really don't want to bring my doom and gloom onto here.

Sending you all massive hugs and tonnes of

C xx
