Excited, relieved, starting to relax... and if I eat another bite I think I'm gonna explode!
Christmas party at work today - lots of fun pressies! Our HOD gave us all Mr Men or Little Miss books which were oh so accurate and fitting for all the members of the faculty! I've just got off the phone from confirming my appointment with the specialist on Thursday... so still got that excited, happy, terrified feeling about that.
Mostly just so relieved to be on holidays at last! Tomorrow I venture out for the Christmas shopping - ugh!
here we go again, i started clomid this morning, this will be my second cycle of clomid/pregnyl we not going to do the insemination this time round, we will just have a massive bd fest ( plus its alot more fun doing it that way hehehehe) should be "O" on my birthday ohhhhh i cant wait.
BW i really hope thursday goes well for you, please let us know how you go
That'll teach me for staying away for so long! Everyone has been soooo busy in here!
I haven't intentionally been hiding, my poor DH has not been well. He is ok now but sure gave us a fright. Given that, not sure our odds would be in our favour this month, but still hoping like mad we are in with a chance. Just glad DH is ok. We did get a rip roaring opk Sunday before last (Dec 3) This makes me DPO9 doesn't it?
Congratulations MONNIE!! Where do I find me some of that pre-seed!! Very pleased another one has been turned out of here (in the nicest possible way!)
Flowerchild - you champion, right back at ya with viewing the best damn follie you have ever laid eyes on!! Now I don't want to see too many posts from you in the next couple of days - get jiggy with it!! ;o) Yay for the OPK - great feeling isn't it
ktgirl - stay brave, hope you are going ok
Would love to address everyone but can't stay long, hope to have a good long look and see where everyone is at shortly.
Big hi to mako, ButterflyWarrior, Bei Bei, mummy2chloe, Willow and anyone who I am sorry to have eliminated. Hope everyone is doing as well as can be expected!
Deb- Woo hoo a positive OPK. So happy for you. Now go find your DH and get to some baby making
Mako- Are the side effect from Met slowing down yet. Hope you are doing ok honey :hugs:
BW- Woo hoo holidays... enjoy!!!
Monnie- Glad to see that you are feeling well other than the tiredness. Hope any MS stays far far away from you.
Smudge- I was wondering where you were. I hope your DH is ok? Sending lots of feel better vibes to your DH and lots of hurry up TWW vibes to you. Good luck
Penny- Hi there. Good luck with the clomid. Hopefully the big BD fest will do the trick for you. I am on my second insemination coming up some time next week so I am with you there about it not being too much fun or romantic. Oh well the things we do!
Hi to all of the other ladies I have missed. I hope you are all well.
Good luck Deb sending you lots of vibes!! You go catch that egg girl!
Good luck testing tomorrow Smudge - keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Big hello to all my other girls. Hope everyone is doing well and surviving the month OK.
Well despite my bravado earlier in the week, I came crashing down into a big heap last night, crying myself to sleep (DH was at work luckily). Was talking to one of my girlfriends on the phone and her sister called in a panic so she had to hang up and call me back. Turns out her sister (also a friend of mine) is prg and was having some bleeding. She and I were prg together and our DDs are the same age. I am happy for her as it took her 12 months to conceive her DD so I am glad it has happened so quickly for them this time, I think this was their second month of trying. But still it hit me pretty hard - everyone is prg with their second babies and I am being left behind.
I don't even want to bother with the clomid this month (whoops, that reminds me, I have to start taking it tonight, I forgot!!) because the whole thing just seems so futile. But Dr S wants me to take it so that's what I'll do. Should o around xmas day and we'll be at my parents place up the coast for xmas so I don't even know how much bding will be done.
I just want it to be January so I can start IVF. At least then I wont have the odds stacked so high against me.
***ETA: Oh no, my girlfriend just called again. Things are not looking good for her sister and it looks like she may have lost her baby. We were both crying on the phone because we've both been thru it ourselves and know how painful it is. Girls, pls say a prayer that this little bubba makes it. :frown:

Willow, I'm sorry to hear that you had a rough night. Sometimes it is easier to let it all out. I hope it helped. It always makes me feel better. Maybe try to get an early one in tonight x
Oh Smudge - I have everything crossed for you... (well almost LOL!!!!!)
I will come in bright and early to check - I am praying for a for you my sweet woman!!!!
Willow, I'm really sorry to hear of the awful situation your friend has found herself in. One of the teachers at work miscarried just over a week ago. She came back for the party today and to say goodbye as she is taking a years leave (it wasn't her first loss, I'm told) - I feel really bad as I found that I just could not talk to her! I didn't know what to say! It just struck me as funny how I can feel so comfortable talking to women on a forum, but to be confronted face to face I pretty much fell apart. Will certainly pray that this little bub finds some extra stickyness! Huge for you, Willow.
Just had an interesting chat with DH about all my immunological concerns and showed him a lot of the information that Deb and SuziQ have posted... I'm not sure where it will go from here, but it all arose out of discussion about whether we would need IVF and how it all works... Through the whole thing he was looking at GPS navigation units on ebay! :eek:
Oh, williow, so sorry to hear that you are so down, but I guess sometimes its better to let it all out...hope you are feeling a bit better now. Also sending lots of sticky vibes to your friend's sister...
Flowerchild, thank you so much for sending that long post to explain your situation, I really appreciated. I guess I was panicing wasn't I? I will blame clomid this time. So happy for you opk is position, you go girl...don't expect to see u here in the ah..next 3 days please...
Butterfly, hope your enjoyed your Xmas party, our Xmas party is Thursday, theme is 'Wild Wild West':eek: Wish me luck on the costumes
Mako, how you doing sweet woman, hope all is well.
Smudge, welcome back and excited for you only 3 days to testing...I am trying to forget mine
Monnie, glad you are feeling well apart from the tiredness which is so normal, keep on your nana nap...
Another early monring for me to get the pregnyl injection done, apart from a bit of sting it was pretty much a breezer...so what's left for this cycle is the 'waiting game' which I don't want to participate that much if I can help it...I always admire people saying 'oh one day I just realized that my period is overdue for 2 weeks, then I found out I was pregnant....' I want that to be me this month
