Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - June 2007 #3

BG...I'm with you...I keep teasing DH that I'm going for the cover of 'Womans Day"...lol...

ahhhh, so you'd be wanting each embie to split into identical quads then...

LOL...you have to be careful what you ask for hey!!!! I'm not fussy!!! Bring it on!!! After 8 years of TTC we would 'catch up' to our friends that have had babies two years apart and now have 4!!! Mmm...we have 4 dogs too...yep...we'd be needing a new car...van...bus....lol....

If we end up with 4 I will die.

hi all, hope all is going well and another huge congrats to BW and beibei. wishing you all the very best with the rest of your pg and now bets are on to whos gunna pop first. lol (oh i love a bet!!)

BTW - id be very happy with 4, ive always aimed for 6 but dont know if we can afford that.lol

Rols...lol...I guess the cover of Womans Day doesn't do it for ya huh?

Lou...6...OMG...imagine the stretch marks!!!

Hi BeiBei

:happyforyou: CONGRATULATIONS!

Fantastic news... sounds like we are on a roll. Who will be number 3?

Rols - yep I know what you mean, 4 sounds absolutely nuts to me! We are even worried about how we would cope with twins... but any is a blessing I say so of course we would cope with however many, 1, 2 or (gulp!) 4, if that was what happened. Only time will tell...

Ellie - I think your DH is right... next cycle will be yours now that the end is in sight to that stressful work environment you were in.

Take care all and chat tomorrow.

hehehe - i'm with you Lou - the more the merrier - except i really like my car at the moment, so have told DH we stop at 3 (will be my luck though, we'd have two and go back for a third - and THAT's when then quads would show up!!)

I love that positive thinking BG...'go back for a third'...that's an exciting thought...coz that means a couple of BFP and healthy bubs before then...that's the spirit!

it's strange Ellie, even with everything we've neen through the last two and a half years to get to this point, i very rarely have even the briefest of moments where i doubt that we will have children eventually. i have complete faith that it will happen one day.i know i want to be a mum so much, and i KNOW that my husband will be the bestest daddy, so now we just have to wait for the right moment in time for our lives to be filled for our much wanted bubba (and hope that that moment isn't too far off).

there are so many LT ladies on here that have had beautiful success stories that i can't help but stay positive about the whole journey - i think the day i found BB was honestly the day i found that positive vibe that this WILL work.

and i believe this for all of us here - we'll go through the toughest journey, with so many dead end side roads - but eventually, we will all reach our destination (with a bubba or three in tow!)

BG....you are AMAZING!!! You have lifted my spirits...we will have our beautiful children...I always say to my friends that I'm praying for well behaved, quiet, gorgeous kids and being a teacher I know they're quietly standing at the back of the line...the line just must be REALLY LONG!!!!!

i'm glad i was able to lift your spirits Ellie. i have my days when i need lifting - and others when i can share my profound thoughts to help you all out! today is a good day

take care hun

I always wanted three. Always. I also wanted to have them all done by age 30. I also wanted boys. Sometimes i marvel at my naivety. Did i really think it would be that easy! :doh:
So now i think we'll be happy with whatever we get, whenever we get them. :D

Ellie - i see you are going to FS in July. Are you going to discuss having those tests done with him/her?

i'm with you Jo - i've dreamed so many times of having three kidlets (even though i'd have 8 if i could LOL - the dream is always three little strawberry blondes) - but all pink ones. DH wants four or five but we'll take what we can when mother nature says we can have them. i used to think it would be so easy - but i think i've grown up a hell of a lot in the last 30 months...

it will eventually happen for us hun

BG and Ellie, it must be in the air because I was saying to DW today that after the shock of finding out that we were going to have trouble I am starting to feel a lot more positive (not that I was terribly negative). I think I've just accepted it now and am starting to get excited by the thought that DW might be pregnant this year.

Obviously this is somewhat dependant upon Tuesday's results, but nonetheless I am just looking beyond the negative and starting to feel good.

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing it.

Jo and BG, I've wanted three for many years too. Obviously that was pre crap sperm. At the moment, if we just get one, I will be stoked.

Boy or girl? Don't care. I am somewhat paranoid about healthy kids as I had a sister who died before the age of 1 which wrecked the parents, and recently two of our best friends lost their baby boy at 25 weeks which wrecked them, and has had a huge effect on us too. So long as it is healthy I couldn't care less whether it is boy or girl, liberal or labor (or greenie), straight or gay (was gonna say the p word but thought I might get in trouble).

even waiting on tuesdays results rols, you still have six months this year - that's lots of time for good news (hoping you don't need it though!)

best of luck to you and your DW on tuesday Rols
