I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. I did see we got a couple of BFPs
I have not been around much, although I wanted to keep up with all the news but I was finding it too upsetting given that I am not even trying again for 4 months (feels like forever!)
I thought I would just pop in to say hi and let you know I am still alive and kicking. I am seeing the nutritionist and although I failed to eat red meat (ended in floods of tears!) I am managing chicken so I'm on iron tablets too and this is going fine. I have also built a veggie box so I can grow my own veggies (rather than forking out all my cash for organic). I have my MRI on friday and 2 friends to get me home after my handful of valium and they have squeezed me in to the neuro surgeon on the 19th. Of course with all that sorted my back has actually been really good for the last week.
Sending you all huge cyberhugs and tonnes and tonnes of
sunbeam: i have had many mri's before, do you know if you are able to take your own cd along to listen to while you have it done ? i have been in ones where you could do that, although i actually prefer not to have the headphones on because i like to be able to hear whats going on around me. it is also quite noisy in the machine, like a kind of hammering noise clunk clunk (sorry if you know all this), i hope it goes ok for you
matthewsmum: how many dpo are you ? so a few of us are in the 2ww, here's hoping for good news coming up for us
Hi all
welcome minniemouse a few of us moved over here last year so nice to see your name here ( sorry you have to be here though ) iykwim
Sunbeam so glad your still around I missed you ! sorry you have to wait 4 mnths but you know what it will be worth it in the end good luck with your mri my son had one at 3yrs but they had to use general an for him as he was so young but it is very very noisy in there !
afm well my mum arrives on friday from the uk for a whole month so won't be on here much and I am due to ovulate around friday/sat so will be in the TWW next week FX to all already in the TWW and lets hope we all get what we want sooner rather than later !
been temping but not going very well as I forgot a few times ! but will keep trying anyway to see if I can see something happening on my chart !
crafty- glad I am not the only one who can't remember to temp every day! Enjoy your time with your mum, my DH's parents can't come out from the UK to visit as his mum is scared of flying and his dad isn't very well, its a shame really.
minniemouse- where are you up to in your tww? I'm still in the early stages.
Sunbeam- hi mate, sorry you have to wait so long, it must be frustrating, if it makes you feel any better I feel like I've got Buckley's chance of conceiving naturally these days,I hope 4 months goes quickly for you (its a shame we have to get older while waiting for these ivf procedures) xx GL with the MRI, I have never had one but it sounds pretty scary, hopefully it will give you some answers to your back problem. Let me know how your veges go, I am going ot start soon as well, just got mostly herbs at the moment.
AFM- only 3-4 days PO so nothing to report, going to the beach for 4 days over the weekend for some relaxation- can't wait!
Hi to everyone else
Need to catch up with all posts but wanted to wish a quick GL to Sunbeam for the MRI: It's really not that scary it's just that we scare ourselves with the idea of it. I think i told you i had a couple of MRIs. I was worried about it but i got through. I didn't find the noise too bad. NOthing hurts. There's plenty of fresh air in there. It's open at both ends. You just need to keep reminding yourself that there's nothing to worry about with being in that space: where are you in a hurry to go?! (Well that's what i told myself and it helped me). Just think of it as though you are lying in a suntan bed! (It's not dissimilar in a way!)
Possum - I am so pleased to hear that everything is fine with you. I had been stalking and was a little concerned for you.
Sunbeam - Four months would seem like a very long time but it looks as though you will be in the peak of health by the time you start again and that can only be a good thing.
Crafty - I was going to temp this time too but I am so forgetful I put the themometer next to the bed but I still forget all about it every morning.
Minniemouse - I hope your time here is brief.
AFM - we are just about up to the week long sexfest we have every month. I don't think either of us look forward to it anymore.
and they have squeezed me in to the neuro surgeon on the 19th. Of course with all that sorted my back has actually been really good for the last week.
