Lou - i completely understand how hard it is to feel like you're sitting on your hands waiting for things to happen - it's got to be especially hard for you due to your DH being o/s. i really hope you can try the clomid when you cycle next time and get the results you want - and try to see things positively - don't look at september as "when nothng happens" - try to stay positive, and IF things don't happen for you, THEN look at other options. i can so sympathise with the struggle to stay positive - my DH used to be a long distance truck driver away for 5 or 6 weeks at a time (nothing like your four months at a stretch i know!) - then only home for maybe a week. he's talking about doing it all again, but 2 or 3 weeks on, 1 off - i'm really not liking that idea!!!!
good luck with the whole thing Lou. i'll be crossing my fingers that things go ok for you and keeping an eye on your process.
I did take the day off! And I'm still sitting here in my pjs at 4:30 as predicted! Feeling so much better physically, mentally, everything! I sooo needed a day to myself!
I've got a bit of a quandary about a baby shower I've been invited to... It's an old friend of mine whose baby is due in May. I've been pretty open about the IVF at church, which is where I originally met her. But, we also worked in the same place for a while, and I expect that some of my current work colleagues will be there - and that's a place I want to not know about the IVF unless they absolutely have to.
Lets complicate things even more. I'm due to start puregon on the 16th ( for good blood test results this time!), and the baby shower is on the 31st. I was going to apply for an inservice on the 30th, but when I looked at the calendar, that's when I'm possibly going to be in the thick of things with EPU and transfer. I know I won't know the exact dates until much closer, but... It's a baby shower! I'm very weird in that I cope quite well with babies, but I just don't cope at all around pregnant women. Lots of thinking and considering ahead for me, I think.
Hey everyone,
Hope you are all doing well, way too many people in here atm to do personals.
Well I am 7dpo IUI today & having absolutely no symptoms what so ever but I have a bit of a dilemma.
I have a wedding to go to tomorrow which I'm really looking forward to but I don't want to drink 'just in case' but what am I going to tell people because I'm sure some of them will notice?
I know the one time I do drink I'm bound to find out I'm pg & then worry for the next 9 months (I guess I've just answered my own question) so I guess I'll have to think of some excuse.
I just spent two hours at the hairdressers with her being 26 weeks pg & going on & on about how wonderful it is to be pg & this & that is happening, blah blah blah.
Of course I am happy for her but it really does hurt sometimes.
One more week of waiting to go & I'm on holidays atm so I figure it's going to drag.
Oh well I'm getting used to life being one huge waiting game (not just with ttc either).
Jo - 27 (treated endo)
Dh - 33
TTC #1 since June 2005
First chlomid / IUI Jan/Feb 2007 - BFN
Second chloimd / IUI March 2007 - (fingers crossed) this will be the year!
YAY BW - how wonderful that you took the day off - and how good are PJ's - they are my favourite attire. Re the baby shower - if you know that you won't be comfortable then don't go. No point putting yourself through the stress. I would write a lovely note and send a little gift.
BG - best of luck with your op tomorrow - fingers crossed that everythign goes as planned and you will be back TTCing in no time
Lou - I will join you for those massages I know how hard the waiting is - DP and I have a new FS appt on 8 May which currently seems so incredibly far away and I am tearing my hair out in the mean time. Lets hope for you that the IUI work and you can surprise DH with the best gift ever when he comes home in September.
Hi everyone else
