Mel thats a fantastic Valentines Day Story!

Chez - Dont make is give you a butt kicking! Look after yourself and i am very glad they sent you home to catch up on some sleep My memory is a little dodgy is your lap this week? If so goo dluck hun and rest up!

PP - Ohh spring rolls sounds yummy! And yep thats what you have to do between cycles... its almost mandatory!

BW - Hope everything is going well and you have transferred and are lirking reading... know im thinking of you and have everything crossed.

BW - How is the HRT treating you?

Big hi to everyone i know ive been slack... will try and stay more on top of things

Not much happening here except completely falling off ny diet and healthy living bandwagon... and feeling really crap for it which should be good incentive to get my ass back on track!

10 days of provera down and 4 more to go... i really cant wait for it to be over.
Except then the clomid starts... so i go from cranky to insanely emotional and clingy. Poor DH

One other thing thats odd is DH has become really angry a few times lately, not at me but at IVF and goes from being really quiet for a few days and doesn't want to talk about IVF at all, and then when i finally push the right button tells me how angry and frustrated he is. Which is all ok, but im just finding it odd that after 3 years TTC & almost 2 years of AC this anger has arisen now and never before (well never verbalised before).. just wondering if you have any similar experiences?

Have a great week ladies and slyder (btw hope DH is doing fab with her FET)

hehehe - the identity crisis strikes again!!

Shannon - "BG" is doing really well on the HRT - it seems to have bought me back to a level of normalcy that i had lost out on with the Pill - to be honest, there was an oppressive level of depression on the pill, and had given up hope on this cycle before it even started really. now i'm much calmer and more positive about the whole deal - in fact, i think i'm starting to get excited - in the next four weeks, i'll have a gorgeous pair of embies on board!!

shannon, we're nearing the 3 year mark (this Thursday to be exact) on our TTC journey - and it's over 2 years since we started on the AC testing bandwagon, so i know how you're feeling. surprisingly, your DH isn't the only one getting more verbal - my DH has expressed his anger and frustration at the process more than once lately. i think some of it has been in response to my own hurt and frustration - and some of it because of the fact that he's away a fair bit and isn't here to be as supportive of me as he wants to be...

Hi everyone

Just popping in quickly to say hello and let you know that my lap went well - no sign of any endo, so that is great news. Apparently the d&c did't go quite as well - couldn't dilate my cervix - apparently FS had to use the scope to get in as my cervix was clammed tightly shut. And then she found out it narrows quite a lot - she thinks this might be why the tfr didn't take because they weren't able to place the embie in the right spot. I will get more info at our follow up appt which is scheduled for mid April - I have had DF on the phone all afternoon to try to make it sooner but the phone just rings out!

Anyway, am still feeling woozy and tired and pain killers have worn off, but am holding out until bed time when I know I will need them. I am taking tomorrow off work and DF has got me some DVDs so I don't go completely stir crazy - I will then evaluate if I need wednesday off as well.

Take care all and I hope you are all doing well.

Oh and yes healthier eating plan was to start today but somehow DF stopped for icecream and chocolate on the way home to cheer me up... tomorrow then?

Chez - glad to hear that you are feeling ok - frustrating about getting appointments when you have already got a 'little' answer to fuel more questions. i hope you get in earlier.

And the eating plan - tomorrow, even Wednesday sound like a good idea. enjoy xx

Hi PP

Thanks for thinking of me. I didn't get much sleep last night due to pain, even with with 2 panadeine forte so today has been pretty quiet. I am still bloated and feeling bruised around the lap site... and had to end up having a nap this afternoon with my heat pack. I should probably take tomorrow off work as well but I am just so busy with a project I am doing that I can't really afford to be away too long. And I have a work friend's 40th birthday party tomorrow night that we are going to and I have already pre-paid our food (she is paying for drinks) and I think it wouldn't look good if I didn't go to work but went out to dinner. Nobody at work knows what is going on or why I am off work, apart from my boss who just knows that I had to go into day surgery yesterday.... maybe I will just leave a bit earlier tomorrow when I get tired?

Anyway, back to the tele and heat pack for me.
Hope everyone else is doing well.

xx
