BW - the type of job i have the union is pretty much useless. another friend is in a similar position, so we're looking at our options as to what to do
i'm thinking of taking it further to site (or region) manager - there are a number of other issues too (privacy is one of them - one supervisor has discussed my situation with other people at work - not happy - and putting in a formal complaint about it). i love my job, but yesterday i was so hurt and angry that i seriously considered giving my notice!
so much for trying to reduce the stress in your life whiel you're TTC, huh?
BG sorry to hear that your having a hard time with work atm. Some people can be just so rude.Sending a your way.
BW I have to say thanks for the advice about the book. I'll have to look at getting me a copy and btw I love your new ticker.
Michelle I'm pleased to see that you and alf are diong so well.Wow how time flies.
Willow I'm glad to see the injections are a piece of cake for you. I hope evrything goes the way you want it to and you end up with a bfp before you know it.
Ktgirl Hi and thank you for your kind words. You are truly an amazing woman.
Milly,Chelle and anyone else I've missed HI.
As for me I'm still plodding along. The funny thing about my situation is that dh hasn't even commented on my appointmet yesterday. He was at work when I went. Oh well like you've all said men do deal with things differently to women so we'll see what happens in the near future.
Bummer, BG! It seems that one of the most frustrating things with this whole TTC thing is the way you end up putting things on hold... I'm sticking it out at a school I essentially hate, just so I can be sure that I'll be eligible for maternity leave. I do hope you manage to sort something out, BG, it all just sounds so nasty.
Mako, I cannot recommend that book highly enough! I dug it out of some things I had taken away over Christmas and put in on DH's chair just as I went to bed last night, intending to tell him it was there... but I forgot. I was pleasantly surprised to see DH reading it voluntarily tonight. It's not the kind of book that you read straight through - but just go to the sections you need most at any particular time.
Michelle, sorry for being so caught up in my own stuff... Thanks so much for dropping in. It is great to see you and *alf* still going strong, and I'm feeling so much more positive about things now. You are right, it is a plan, it is moving forwards (even though my brain keeps screaming obscenities at myself for going back on the pill! I understand WHY, but it just feels *so* wrong!), and in many ways, we are probably more in charge of things now than we have been at any stage since my diagnosis back in March.
The new ticker... I'd had that other one for so long, I'm glad to see the end of it! And this way, the specialist appointment just seems so much closer than just thinking the eighth of February. Other funny and peculiar things... my acupuncturist is desperate to get her hands on DH, DH's bowen therapist is desperate to get her hands on me... DH has also made an appointment with the GP to get a referral to a different urologist... There's definitely progress, even if I do feel like I'm going backwards by being on the pill!
Thought i would pop in and say hello, i normally hang out in the LTTTC threads, but as of this cycle i have gone from an IVF girl to a Clomid/IUI with donor sperm girl after having a HSG and confirming that my tubes are indeed clear, so i am taking a step back and trying to conceive this way for a while.
I started on 50mg of Clomid on Tuesday which was day 3 so last tablet tomorrow...Have an ultrasound and blood test next wednesday to see whats happening in there...
Just wondering, when do you start to feel the effects of the Clomid, do you have any of the nasty symptoms after you finish the tablets because apart from the odd hot flush, i cant say i have had any bad side effects...
Hi Twomums... looks like you're taking the opposite step to a few of us from here.
I guess my experience with clomid isn't normal, but I felt the effects of it for several weeks afterwards. The hot flushes in particular continued for a while after taking it, and from day 14 of that cycle, I had such a severe reaction to stressful events that I ended up having to take a week off work and be medicated quite strongly for the anxiety attacks. It's difficult to say how much of it was the clomid, and how much of it was just from the stress I was experiencing, but that was *not* my normal way of reacting to things. Some 90 odd days later, I had also never ovulated nor had AF. I'm now taking the pill before getting started with IVF. Again, this is NOT a typical response at all!
your way.
