I had the most excellent acupuncture session this afternoon! I was really really fatigued and sleepy and it's given me a huge energy hit - so now I'm still quite sleepy, but content and no longer feeling dead tired. She's still all worked up over the FS's recommendation to do nothing about the varicocele and was telling me about another article she found (I must remember to look up ACCESS) and has given me the name of a doctor who will do embolisations rather than surgery (must remember to look up the phone number too!). Here was me thinking that my next FS appointment is ages away - it's the 11th. I counted the days while I was doing my best pincushion impression and realised that it's only 20 days! My next acupuncture appointment is in three weeks, which made me realise just how close it is... it will be nice to have a bit of a break from it all over Christmas and new year, and then get back into it. The reason I was counting days was so I could figure out exactly when to start taking provera to try to make sure I have AF visiting when I next go see the FS... just so that anything he wants to suggest for treatment we can start on pretty much straight away. I worked out that 6 more days would be ideal, then start... but I'm still not sure if I will or not!
I feel bad for not doing personals, but it's just not going to happen. We're off to Newcastle tomorrow to stay with my parents over Christmas (must remember to call them and let them know!) and I'm happily ignoring the fact that I need to be wrapping presents and washing clothes and packing - all that wonderful stuff! My copy of swimming upstream arrived today, so I'm going to be doing a lot of reading while we're away. So far I've got three novels, a book on CBT and swimming upstream to work through... Busy, busy, busy!
Have a wonderful, wonderful Christmas everyone! I do hope that I return in a few days time to see more news of BFPs and that Kate's ovaries have awoken and decided to produce a nice, plump follie or two.
Thanks for all of your wake up Kate's ovaries vibes girls. I hope they are listening. I have been out shopping all afternoon with my sister and I am pooped. I got a couple of nice tops for myself though so I am happy (as well as a couple of last minute Christmas pressies) Ooh and you know how I thought the clinic where I have my blood tests were closed on boxing day well the Dr called and said that the blood collection part is open for 2hr so I can still have my blood test on Tue.
BW- Have a wonderful Christmas and a fabulous time away. Happy reading. I was thinking about getting that Swimming upstream book so let me know what it is like. Glad to hear that your acupuncture appointment went well
Still lurking and reading... DH is out doing some audio work (at $25/hour, you can't knock it back), left at 7:30 this morning and won't be back until about 1am...
I've promised the girls in the 6+ months thread a book review as well, so hopefully my mother will give me enough peace to read it (and everything else!) and I'll be able to come back and tell you all about it!
I suppose I should think about eating dinner that's not chocolate at some stage... being very naughty with no DH around!
wow - so much can happen in a couple of days when you don't turn the computer on!
thanks so much to all of you for welcoming me the other day - it's nice to have somebody to share some of this stuff with - i have some friends that are being really supportive, but because they're not going through all of this stuff, i guess its hard for them to understand
Congrats on the BFP Chel - it's awesome to see people who've struggled that are actually lucky enough to have positive results - gives me confidence that everything we're going through at the moment is going to result in something good at the end
i guess this forum is going to be pretty quiet over the next few days - i'm not going anywhere, but probably won't be on here too much - my brothers family moved back to vic this week after living in WA for the past 15 months. it's been nothing short of chaotic - and looks to get worse - they're "moving in" for what was supposed to be only christmas eve, but was told last night that "it might be a week or two" - wow! Not what i was expecting at all - DH has spent all day today trying to organise extra bedrooms for my brother and SIL and the three kids! oh well, at least all the over-compensating i've been doing this christmas will come in handy (i have a very decorated house - i figure if we can't have a baby ourselves for christmas, we may as well have nicely deco'd house to cheer us up) - and there will be kids here for christmas morning!
well, i guess i should stop rambling (i find once i start typing i can't seem to stop ) - hope you all have a great festive season - and look forward to talking to soon
Just wantedto say thank you soooo much for welcoming me into this forum! Sorry for no personals-still trying to get my head around who's who etc!!
With the holidays, will be popping in/out too.
AF showed her ugly head today for me, 3d early-LP this cycle of 11d (post seeing 18mm follie and high LH!!)....which fits with the low progesterone I guess. So going to start Clomid 100 tomorrow-need to try and rearrange my D12 USS now though!!May end up being an 'unmonitored cycle at this rate'!!!
Well, happy holidays to everyone, and hears hoping for lots of BFP's

Hi ladies, Wow it is getting very quiet in here. I guess we are all really busy with Christmas. I prob won't be back here until Boxing day as we now have lots of family parties to go to starting tonight. I will still be having my bloods done on Boxing day so I will let you all know if your wake up kates ovaries vibes have been working.
So... I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Lets hope that Santa is nice to us all. But even more so that this time next year that we will all be celebrating Christmas with a little miracle of our own. Bring on 2007 I think it will be a good year for all of us.
Love and safe wishes to all over Christmas. Big kisses for all of you
ktgirl - Good Luck for Boxing Day, I hope the follies are brewing nicely. Have a great Christmas!
Milly - I'm with ya on the unmonitored cycle, couple of pages back I mentioned how I feel like a naughty kid without the scan! Happily go without that internal though! Good luck
briggsy's - sounds like it's all going on for you, plenty to keep you side tracked. Enjoy Christmas morning with the littlies!
P.S We have booked our IVF appts for the start of Feb
) - hope you all have a great festive season - and look forward to talking to soon
