Hello Ladies and a very Happy Valentine's Day to you all!
I want to thank you all again for your words of wisdom, advice and encouragement. Just what I needed! You're all great and you've helped me to take my next step. So thank you all, again. What would I do without you?
Now I'm off to baby sit my sister's three kids. What a way to spend a romantic day. LOL!
Ahh I can't keep up again, I read all the posts and now will [U]try[U] and do some personals.
Emerald ~ Still have FX for you! And you can now add me to your list - TWW, BT on 25/02/10, thank you
Miss K ~ Well done on that EPU, great numbers and now I will have FX you don't get OHSS, GL hun!
Renee ~ GL for your EPU, FX! And sorry you missed out on that job, can't win em all unfortunately.
Sorry to those that got BFN's this month.
Thanks for all your wishes for today, means so much.
As per the heat question, Ive also heard it is best to have cooler, shorter showers and definitely no baths or spas. I stupidly had a spa bath last time as I went away and hadn't read the details properly on discharge papers.
Melissal ~ Well done hun and will chat to you in TWW.
Hi to all I have missed, wanted to keep it short so I can go and rest again.
AFM ~ A successful transfer today of 1x5 day blasty and also had good news that the other 4 are still doing well, so If they make it to blasty tomorrow they will be frozen, FX!
GL all with , EPU's, Transfers, TWW and cycles! LOTS OF Big hugs!
Melissal - I agree with Renee...give your body time to adjust..although i must admit this time round i wasn't as sore in the booby dept. as i normally would be...so don't worry..just rest up and let your body heal nicely for ET!!
Danyelle - I too am so sorry for that result...
Murrycod , Miss K, and Renee...
Moonflower - babysitting..i LOVE babysitting my nieces...so much fun and laughs!! Enjoy hon..helps take your mind off a lot of stress. Kids have a way of doing that!
Loops12 - Yay!!! YOU are on the LIST!!!!! I am so happy that you might get to freeze this time hon! and i will be keeping everything crossed that you also get your BFP!
AFM - yes! i poas'd again and this time it was a dark line that came up almost instantly!!! I am soooooooooooooooo excited, however i am waiting for that something to come and take it all away..i just feel its toooo good to be true!! This can't be happening to me!! Its tooo good to be happening to me! Things this great never happen to me!! What can i say girls...sorry about the damping notes, but its just tooo unbelievable at the moment!
Well, DH has cooked Valentines dinner after all the prepping i did to suprise him..gotta go, but i'll check back later!
Happy Valentines Everyone!!

The Hall Of Fame for 2010:
January - NIL
February - ??? "bring it on, ladies!!"
Emerald Star - that is FANTASTIC news! I am so happy for you!! Hope you had a great Valentines Day!
Melissal - Hope your body is getting ready for the important job it has to do very soon - carrying your new bubba! I remember being shocked that I actually felt discomfort after my EPU as I have a pretty high pain threshold but if you think about what your body has been through it's not a surprise it's a wee bit sore.
Danyelle - So sorry to hear your news. Sending you the strength to get through this and come out the otherside soon Glad to hear though that the NK Cell Test was able to be done and hope the results are useful too.
Miss K- Hope you are lookin after yourself in preparation for your big day too. Go embies Go!
Renee - Hope you have got over your stressful Friday and sorry to hear about the job, but you've got a lot to do this coming week haven't you!
Moonflower - Hope you have fun babysitting! I always avoid it only because my nieces and nephews are spolit rotten! Hope you are doing OK
Loops12 - Congrats and heres to a successful BFP for you at the end of your 2WW! GL and FX for you too xxx
Murraycod - Hi, hope you had a great Valentines Day
HI to anyone I missed
AFM - No news of course, I don't get my AF before my BT's and as I don't POAS (I found years of getting no result far too depressing) it's going to be a loooooong week! No Valentines day surprise for me as apparently it's commercial. Have yet to see any evidence of dinner being cooked either. How Romantic!
Loops - Thanks hunny!!! I will be sending lots of sticky vibes your way and FX you get to freeze the rest!!!
Emerald - Can I say congrats yet :P OMG how exciting wahoo I bet you can't wait till your BT!!!
Moonflower - Have fun babysitting!!!
Lairdoz - not that long till your BT I hope time flies for you!!
AFM - WARNING TMI I am suffering I can't go to the toilet because of the high amount of protein I am on the nurse told me pear juice would help but its not and I am unsure if its safe to take a laxitive expecially with ET Wed and possible OHSS so any help would be nice!!!
I hope you all have had a wonderful valentines day xxoo
I had a similar issue and couldn't take anything medical (didn't want to risk it) so the doc suggested drinking heaps of water, having a big bowl of porridge in the morning with prunes in juice on the top certainly helped (but it did make me a bit 'windy' until my body sorted itself out!) Hope this issue is resolved quickly - there is something else over the counter which was really mild I think I also could have taken but chose not to.
Hi ladies , i hope you are all well and had a fantastic valentines day and got spoilt rotten.
Emerald Star- ohhhhh im so excited for you, cant wait for you bt results.
Murraycod-thank you.i am feeling alot better but still have the bleeding.thursday i got to speak to the dr that did the lipoidal hsg on the phone and he reckoned that there was no chance that everything that was going on was from the hsg,pffffrrttt but also said i shouldnt be bleeding 2 days later after having it done.i gave him the benefit of the doubt and waited to see if things settled friday and it didnt so first thing saturday morning i headed up to the hospital.i told them i was bleeding when im not supposed to after a test and also that i had a lump in my neck that was moving up and down my neck (we noticed it just before i left to head to hospital).three hours later and i still hadnt been called in.hell nurse hadnt even taken blood pressure etc.i was told it would be another 2 to 3 hours to get called in.so ended up coming home unseen.i still have some bleeding this morning.
On a positive note on friday afternoon i got a tattoo on my right wrist for my mum.her nickname since she was little was froggy so i got a frog wearing a breast cancer ribbon. and on the 26th im getting 2 more tatts.a small breast cancer butterfly and also a phoenix and dragon facing each other with their claws entwined(to symbolize DP and i) to surprise DP as he will be in perth when i get it done.he knows im getting the butterfly but cant figure out why my appointment will take about 3.5 hours lmao.he is taking my netbook with him so i will show him on messenger that night hmmmm oh yeah baby i have something else to show you kinda convo lol.
Anyone else a tatt addict? with the two next week i will have 10 lol.but other than wrist ones they are mostly covered
Emerald Star - It is sounding extremely good!! Not too long now to wait for the BT either!!
Melissal - I hope that your feeling better now ... when is your ET?
Danyelle - sorry to hear your news.
Miss K- I'm in queensland and constantly worried that the nasal spray is heating up too much - as they say 'DONT' put it in the fridge, but keep it under 24 degrees - In Queensland at summer time ...??? I don't know!! On another note, I'm also going to QFG - the Brisbane clinic. Maybe we could catch up for coffee sometime to chat!! When it your ET?
Renee - That's great about the scan! and hope the EPU goes well today!! you get some great embies out of it!!
Loops12 - That's great the ET went well!! On valentines day too!! hopefully your 2WW goes quickly!!
Murraycod - The month will pass by before you know it!!
Hi to anyone I missed (there are a lot of people on here!!)
AFM - I've been MIA since Friday as I had planned a romantic escape for DH!! We went up to Gympie (not the most romantic destination!!) for the 'romancing the rails' night on the Valley Rattler (it was an old style train ride with dinner)!! On the fertility side, my AF came at 6:15pm on Friday!! I was never so excited about it in my life - DH and I were out for dinner with friends and I couldn't remove the smile when I returned from the Ladies!! I started my injections this morning too!! I'm so excited - yet so scared!!
As it's my first (and hopefully only) time, I have a few questions: What is the best protein drink to have? What else should / shouldn't I be doing!!
Hope everyone had a wonderfully romantic valentines day too!!
Emerald ~ thank you! And YAY for your POAS results!!! Think positive if ya can, it is certainly your turn, will keep FX! xo
Lairdoz ~ I hope the week does go quick for you, will have FX and Don't worry my hubby isnt that into Valentines Day either, not that we have any money now to do anything for each other. Hopefully a baby will be our present to each other!
Miss K ~ Thanks for your wishes! I take Benefibre which is completely herbal and can be bought at the supermarkert - not a laxative as such. And I asked the nurse and she said it would be fine, anything herbal is ok. It does work for me because I am not a big fruit person (bad I know). All the best, hope you get rid of it soon because I know its not good, the Crinone made me so bad last time that in the end I couldnt stand my tummy was hurting so much. The benefibre takes about 10hrs to do its thing. GL with everything!
Trubabe ~ Glad you are happy and your tatts sound great. I don't have 1 but I really want 1 but DH doesnt want me to. And all I want is a little butterfly with a couple of stars and an "M" in memory of my half sis. So we'll see lol
Mum-2-be ~ YAY, Im glad your AF arrived so you could start the injections, all the best with everything, FX
AFM ~ just been resting this time as much as possible, hoping I get some signs my lil one is sticking!
Thanks for all your kind wishes and stickyvibes etc
Your welcome Miss K - hope it helps!
Feeling pretty good, a little bloated and bound up myself lol, took some Benefibre this morning. Trying to rest as much as possible today then back to work tomorrow, which should keep me occupied.
Hi ladies currently on holidays so just quickly jumped on while doing other things just wanted to send my congatulations to Em Star so happy for you I promise to catch up with everyone else when I get back next week
Meanwhile would love to see some more happy news when I return
Just popping my head in to see how all you lovely ladies are getting along. I see January was quiet after Christmas and things but everyone is gearing up again now. I am praying for you all and hoping that there is plenty of BFP action in here over the next few weeks. I hope that even if it doesn't happen this month that 2010 will be the year for you all.
Danyelle - sorry to hear about your BFN hon. Good luck with NK cell test. I hope it provides you with some answers and it’s not to much longer till your name is up in lights on that wall of fame. x
EmeraldStar - A tentative congrats to you hon. You deserve it and I think it would be great for you to be the first to start off your famous 2010 wall of fame!
Loops - so glad to see you cycling again hon. Does this mean you sold the tractor? Did you get any eggs to freeze this time? Everything is crossed for you sweetie. x
KayKay, Murray Cod, Miss K, and all the other new ladies in here I don't know. Wishing you all the best for your cycles. Hopefully you won't be cycling in this tread for to much longer..... try to remain positive and stress free (I know easier said than done!)...... anyway I have a feeling that 2010 is going to be a great year.
mitf xox
Oh - almost forgot... I love the new Avatars ES and MurrayCod! Congrats on your RAK - you both deserve it!

Terry - thanks for popping in babe!!!! hope all is well with you too.
AFM - Still testing positives on the POAS...and like i said..i am starting to feel a little anxious as i am waiting for something to burst this bubble hopefully tomorrow brings the news i have been longing for! I know you younger girls have heard the line " oh, don't worry.. you still have time" and you absolutely hate hearing it.... but the truth is I don't..and this is reallly big news for me. I will be 42 in a few months and i always wondered if it was gonna happen for me.......I am SO SORRY about the rant, but i AM EXCITED, but at the same time very anxious. Thanks for listening.

February - ??? "bring it on, ladies!!"
mitf - hello baby!!!!! How are you doing? How far along are you now? do you know the sex of the baby? how many? lots and lots of Q's .......if you are not allowed to answer please PM me!! Hope you are very well anyway. AND Thnakyou for your wishes for me.
ES im sure all the positives are a POSITIVE! GL with your BT tomorrow, i dont know how you have waited i would have gone in today. lol
And about younger ladies being told they have time on their side, i have been doing IVF for 7 years and have only just had my first hearbeat seen on US, so i never listen to the time comment.
Hey hey, thanks girlies, for helping to put my overactive mind at ease re achy tum - so hard to know whats normal first time round with everything being so new.
Emerald - AWESOME!!!!! Hoping your BT tomorrow is huge!!!!
Loops - go your little blasties, did all four make it to the freezer? Here's hoping the 2ww speeds by for us both! Hmmm Benefibre - maybe that is half my prob, I'm as bloated as hell, didn't think I was bunged up but perhaps I am a bit. Might have to dig out the dried apricots and see if that helps with things. Damn progesterone!!!
Miss K - wow 16 fertlised eggies - fantastic!!!! May they carry on growing strong!! Glad you got your Crinone question sorted - we have these other ones in NZ that are two little pessaries three times a day and they don't come with applicators - so gross!!! The things we do, huh?!! How exciting for Wednesday!!
Renee - how did today go hun? Hope all went good and you are feeling ok. Bummer about the job - don't know if I'd be able to cope with this and the prospect of a new job cos I'm a bit of a sook atm!!
Danyelle - sorry about your bfn love, hope you are doing ok
Mum-2-be - I'll say this to yu once but never again - YAY for AF!!!!!!!
Trubabe - glad you are feeling a bit better and bleeding has eased. I have one tatt, a little celtic symbol at the base of my spine. About 18 months after I got it done, I had an op on my back. The surgeon did an awesome job at sewing it up and matching everything but when the wound was healing, it itched so damn much that now I have this big lin through it where I kept scratching at it - whoops!!!! Not such a biggie cos I have to do a fair bit of acrobatics in front of a mirror to even see it so it can't bug me too much
Lairdoz - you strong woman, you, not poas!!! I hav great plans of not but I'm sure come the weekend, I'll cave. Doesn't help that I'm working over the weekend and there will be lots of lovely preg tests t tempt me!! Lucky me, I work in the very lab where all of our
E2, progesterones and HCG are done. So trying to keep a bit of privacy is v difficult. However it does mean I can have a right old poas-fest if I so choose to!!!!!
Me - three days down, only 8 more to go!!!! Been a right sooky today - I have done so well thrughout this whole process but everything made my bawl today - embarrassing!!! I called the clinic today to see about our other 2 embies but sadly they haven't made it to the freeze. Oh well, one is better than none
Big hugs!
YOU are on the LIST!!!!! I am so happy that you might get to freeze this time hon! and i will be keeping everything crossed that you also get your BFP!
