Bel...... I m just going to say something and you can tell me to shut up if you want.... You are being far to hard on yourself..... The best that you can do is all that you can do. Yes we all have our down days... sometimes, like for myself at the moment... it is many days in a row, but we come out the other end knowing that we are doing the best that we can. I can understand your annoyance at how people take their children for granted or how they do the wrong thing by them... ....but thats their journey hun..... and unfortunatly their childs journey. I personally decided quite some time ago that if by a certain age I had not conceived then I was going to take it as a sign to do foster care..... but in the mean time, I will do the best that I can do and thats all i can do. You are in control of your mind.. you are in control of how you react to things... and "you" is all you really have control of. Dont let that mind of yours take control in a negative manner.....Bottom line... long term TTC sucks... you know that...we all know that.... Focus on going forward each day in a positve way otherwise it will completely do your head in. and hun... I do take my own advice, its the only way I ve been able to get through this last week.... its when you dont feel like you can lift your head up anymore that you must.
My appologies to everyone else.... I ve kept to myself a bit over the last week.... EDD has not been to much fun. BUT i m getting through it, as I ve said more times than I can remember..... one day at a time. From a cycle point of view my 'high fertility' starts tonight with "o" on the 10th. I have accupunture on the 11th and then again on the 14th for implant. DH is madly swallowing all his herbs he has to take (complaining as he goes because they are so large)...
Possum..... Very happy for you hun... let s hope this TWW goes by without incedent for you and that you grace this thread at the end of it with a BFP.
Again my appologies to everyone else.. I will catch up again over the next few days.... Hopefully that s it and I m out of hibernation for now.
My final post for the night..man it's late!! I hope I don't offend anyone with my last post. I just feel so sad to see such devastating stories on the news.
Angel Babies- I'm not going to tell you to shut up!! I listen and learn from eveyone in here. Am glad to see you back here again and back on this journey.
Angel Babies, nice advice and I hope you are in a better place now than you have been.
Bel, hope you also pick up soon. It's a tough road. I feel for all of you who have been on it for much longer than I have and admire your strength and optimism and energy.
Any advice for the TWW wait anyone? Do you try and not do much exercise, or do easy stuff, like walking. Exercise is my usual stress release, and I have had to stop a few activities (too high impact in my opinion right now, I really want this little one to stick!) and I am finding it's leaving me with more time on my hands to think, at a time I would love to be escaping into exercise all the time! Arrghhh. I feel so out of control. I am a bit of a control freak and losing all control over so many things has been one of the toughest things. So here I am on here, instead of focussing on work, because I am sooo distracted.
Abbie, I had acupuncture yesterday, after ET and it was great. Hope you are doing well.
Miss K- how are things going for you? Have you had any fluid drained yet? I'm thinking of you and hoping that you are on the mend. I hope your levels last night were through the roof!
Janie- you must be SO excited today! One more sleep....hope you do sleep!
Today I'm just relaxing. DH going away for work again tomorrow so just enjoying his company. It's a great day for doing nothing in the sunshine state...not too sunshine today!
Possums- can't forget you..how's it all going. Keeping your mind busy?? No pickup for me next cycle I'm excited to say. Have 4 embies frozen. Little bit scared cause my new FS wants to thaw all 4 and pick the best 2 to TF. He won't refreeze...but he is the expert and we're going with his advice. He seems to think with the clean out I've just had, this will give us a good chance. So we keep our fingers crossed and this next cycle is the one.
Pre Transfer Acupuncture is at 7:30am
FET is at 10:40am
Post Transfer Acupuncture is at 1pm
Thanks Bel... you are right, so excited. It feels different this time because I haven't had as much build up due to it being a FET, but can't wait to get this ball rolling again.
Possums good luck in your TWW. I hope all goes well and we dont see you in here again unless its to say hello of course.
Bel yeah it would be fantastic for all this to just fly past and be holding our precious bundles in our arms. And i have to say i totally hear you on everthing you have said and i am in total agreeance
Janie thanks for the info on acupuncture. I am still in two minds about getting it done... Ill think about it over the next few days. Best of luck tomorrow. i too hope you get out of this thread and never come back... hehe!
As for me, still jabbing away and getting another bruise Not sure what is happening. I never bruised in my other cycles. Does the difference in dose make a difference with whether you bruise or not?
Paula- Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your words. Now...as for the bruising. I don't think the dose has much to do with it...I could be wrong. But my mum is a nurse and she said you'll get a bruise if you hit a vein or even a teeny weeny blood vessel sometimes. So whenever I do a needle I looked really close to make sure I don't see any blue tinge under the skin then jab!! Hope that helps. As for the acupunture, I was like you..not sure but I decided to go for it thinking it couldn't really harm me. Not sure if you know what's been going on with me, but I've just started seeing a new FS and he tells all his patients to get acup. The decision is totally yours though. Don't do anything if it doesn't feel right.
Janie- Yay for all the times tomorrow!! The countdown is on. I'll be snooping on you in the TWW thread.
Paula - brusing sometimes the dose can make a differnce as it hits some vessels underway I have bruised more this cycle and my FS laughed and said when he gave me the pregnal see if you cannot bruise your self on a 1ml injection
Janie so so so excited for you heres hoping BFP is at the end of the Rainbow.
Bel: Hope you got some excellent time with DH mine used to travel and I hated it
wow so much is happening in here, yes i am still here. just beeen so busy lately.
angelbabies: how r you? hope you smiling, love the one day at a time, it's the only way thru. hope those large herbs for dh do the trick.
abbie: we havn't met yet so hi! acupuncture is a good idea i am doing it for next time.
missk: how r you?, hoping you feeling better
paula: how r your injections going?, hope all is well
tl: great job with follies, keep up the good work.
bel: glad your not a freak as you thought. so glad you a little better and in regards to just waking up after 9 months you don't want that you'd miss so much and being pregnant is something not to be missed. i am really hoping you are feeling better emotionally , good luck
possums: glad et went well
janie: glad your acupuncture went well,
hope tfer goes well, please stick little bub for mummy
lots of hugs for you.
afm: well my life seems so hectic at moment with packing up house. i have 2nd acu on thur and i am looking forward to it so much.
Just popping in to say 'hello' - not stopping long.
It looks like there have been some interesting conversations on acupuncture - I'm starting next week (just before I hope to have my eggies collected - I still picture a tiny farmer going in there with an egg basket! ).
Bel - hope you're feeling much better today - I felt the same about the baby in the paper today. I know I don't know what happened, but I can't help thinking why did she get the chance to have one and I haven't - it just doesn't make sense. It's a real up and down journey this one we are on.
Well - now I'm all set for the first cycle my naughty monthly visitor is a couple of days overdue (and no I'm not pregnant - I did hope!) it's just being naughty. I'd psyched myself up for the first jab tonight or tomorrow night - but maybe Thursday??
TL- The travelling DH's...very hard isn't it. Just had my DH home for 2 days now he's away again for the next 5. You do learn to cope but the missing them never stops.
JBM- yeah I would never want to miss being pg...too true. I'll be so excited and can't wait to show off a bump to the world!
Kate- Don't you just love that AF witch. When you don't want her she always shows up and then other times you are begging her to show. I went one cycle for over 60 days without AF and was desperate for her to turn up. I went to an acupunture guru for the first time on day 60+ who I see all the time now, and told him what was happening. No joke within 45 mins of my 1st appointment AF had arrived. Still amazes me now when I recall it. I was converted after that 1st appointment. I hope she shows up soon for you..I know how you feel just wanting to get everything started.
I am feeling a bit better today. Each day I know I am healing a little more. Emotionally starting to feel better too. We can't all have good days all the time..I know that.
Hey Ladies,
Just another quick one I am still in hospital I will prob be in till the weekend I am hoping and that I get home on the weekend .. They put a drain in me and drained 2 litres from my tummy yesterday i have put on 20kg's in 2 days from the OHSS as it fills your tummy with fluid I don't have to rely on oxygen today which is good I have drips the whole lot
As for HCG levels
Fri - 22
Sunday - 66
monday - 104
He said he was concerned that it didn't go up much on monday so hopefully the little monkey sticks and stays strong
Sorry no personals ladies I am just soo buggered atm
missK: i hope you are able to come home on weekend too, but if you're unwell hospital is better place to be. wow lots of fluid.don't you mean Monkeys please stick because there is more than one?
good luck
Miss K...... I m actually at a loss for words.... What we do to ourselves.... I hope and pray that you are better soon and hope and pray that your levels increase and 'monkey/s' hold on
