    Trubabe I hope that you and your family are doing ok, be strong, we are all here for you if you need to de-stress and vent XXX Take care honey XXX

    Nix darling congratulations on such great numbers!!!! Best Xmas present ever!

    Juniper I'm so sorry to read that your cycle was cancelled. Accupuncture is meant to be great, when I misscarried it got me back to norm cycles straight off the bat, and I am planning to start the accupuncture as soon as I start my FSH at the end of the month. Wish you all the best for your journeys ahead, hope thay get a little easier for you XXX


    Hello to everybody, hope you are all soldiering through 'Silly Season', this time of year can totally suck when we don't have a little one to spoil, and play with. Hopefully all of us will have next year! X

    AFM still popping the pill, have appt tomorrow to pick up all of my meds and lovely injectables, very excited to have tham sitting in the crisper in my fridge...move over tomatoes!
    As excited as I am, I'm terrified.

    Merry Christmas everyone!!

    Nix, Congratulations! What a fantastic early Xmas present, hey? Well done

    Juniper, sorry to hear that your transfer was cancelled. I would be really interested to hear how your DH goes with acupuncture and sperm issues. My partner had a vasectomy reversal about 2 years ago, after having had a snip for about 7 years. His sperm was a problem, hence why we had to do IUI and then IVF. We've been seeing a naturopath for about four months now, and after only 2 months of him taking this tonic and other pills, his sperm count (motility, morphology and volume) is absolutely normal and our FS said we could conceive naturally if we wanted! I am seeing an acupuncturist early in the new year to see if it can help with implantation for me, and also to regulate my cycle/hormones. I figure it can't hurt ... She wants me to do a 6-week detox before our next transfer but we're on hols for 2 weeks in mid-Jan, so we will do a 4-week detox. I don't know all that it involves yet, but it's definitely no alcohol, no caffeine and no smokes. I don't smoke so that one's easy, but the other two will be more difficult

    Trubabe - Big hug to you because you sound like you're going through hell at the moment, and it's the last thing you need midway through a cycle. FX for your mum when she sees the specialist next year.

    Murraycod - Good luck for your first IVF cycle!

    AFM, I am enjoying the silly season a little too much, but I figure if I've got to detox next year I may as well make sure I need it I've got to get 12 vials of blood taken for BTs but I've put it off till next year as I can't face doing it at the moment.

    I hope everyone has done their Xmas shopping and is getting ready for Xmas! Only 4 sleeps to go ...

    Thanks ladies.

    I had a pleasant surprise today (they actually do happen ). I called in sick to work and my manager told me he hadn't been expecting to see me this week in light of what happened. Apparently me balling my eyes out when our regional manager called me to ask what "transfer cancelled" meant made an impression? So, instead of working 4 days this week, I'll be doing the bare essentials at home and taking the rest of the week off. Which is probably good for them too since right now I could not care less about work!

    Hi lovely ladies
    Ive been MIA for a little while now mainly because of the "Silly Season" and work being so busy. I finally have a couple of days at the moment but will be working Christmas Eve and Boxing Day. Christmas Day is the only day we are closed for the whole year.

    Anyways I'm happy again because looks like we will be able to afford IVF in Feb after all, since the pre-payment has gone down. Even though we probably wont get as much back at least we should be ok to do it and have I have started the pill now, Synarel on the 15th Jan and the Transfer should be around 8th Feb (day after my 30th birthday).

    Trubabe ~ So sorry to hear about your mum - not a very nice thing at all and especailly at Christmas, my heart goes out to you and your family. Treatments and doctors these days are incredible so keep faith and will be praying they can get rid of it. Big Hugs xoxo

    Em-Star ~ So sorry about another chem preg, I can in no way comprehend what that is like, feeling for you though and I will pray that you can find some answers and you get your miracle in 2010! Big HUGS XO

    Juniper ~ So sorry your transfer was cancelled - that must be very hard too. Thinking of you and hope you can have another go soon. xo

    Nix ~ A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS! and that your wish came true and especially for Christmas. All the very best for a H&H nine months!!

    Hi to everyone else and I hope you are all doing well. I'll try to catch up with everyone on here soon. In the mean time GL everyone and happy festive season!!
