Hi Girls and I will give more to personals a little bit later. Sorry for the rush.
DORY...Thinking of you and your beautiful Sophie today. You have been on my mind and we will light a little candle that will burn all day for her. I hope you are doing ok and resting with a big cake in front of you, a birthday tune and a few tears of joy and sadness. I bet your little angel was sitting on your pillow this morning with a huge grin on her face...knowing how special her mumma is. I know today must have such a mix of feelings for you...and i am thinking of you sweety. oxxo
Will be back later for all else. I want to ravage my husband one more time before he goes to work!
Gi - how are you going? Still hanging on here it seems, 39 big ones ( weeks) ... I live in a constant state of anticipation.... it's weird being normal now... if something happens it's not all an emergency, unlike before, and things could even have a happy ending. From memory... you didn't think that this month was a good one? Let me know - I think of you often.
Hello ladies - just popped in to see if there was any news with Dory but I see that you haven't quite popped yet!!
Had my surgery last Tues and everything seemed to go well. I had adhesions in the middle of my uterus but a cavity above and below (a little like an hourglass). The before and after xrays my surgeon showed me were amazing - I now have a lovely single cavity. Unfortunately the opening to my right tube is blocked. He kind of mentioned that this might correct itself?? Will have to pursue this with him at my follow up but didn't seemed overly concerned and said as long as I have one functioning that is OK! So now on hormone therapy to improve endometrium - which hasn't been too bad so far - I haven't turned into a screaming lunatic anyway. He said my endo looked OK especially at the top where he would hope implantation would occur. I have been feeling pretty positive as my surgeon seemed pretty positive. But I don't want to get my hopes up too much as there is a real possibility that the adhesions may reform and more surgery. There was just a moment before they put me under when I just thought 'I hate this - enough!'. That is the fourth time in 7 months. But I just have to hope that with a bit of luck that was the last one. Just a lot of waiting at the moment which is much worse than any TWW I've had in the past!!! Anyway, thinking of all you girls. Hope to see some BFP's next time I pop in!
Babydust to all.
I heard from a friend that she had lost all of her PMs on BB but didn't realise it was affecting the forums as well.
So no idea where everyone is at... must be my bad memory! But I will try some personals anyway.
Dory - wow 39 weeks! Amazing! Have you got everything ready for your new bub? I am quietly confident that everything will go perfectly. Can't wait to read your BA.
SuzieQ - that's great news about your surgery. I haven't heard anything about a blocked tube fixing itself so can't help you there. You poor thing - 4 surgeries in 7 months - yikes! You must be really sick of the inside of hospitals. I wish you lots of good things with your lovely uterus!
Gigi - sorry I can't remember if this cycle was looking good or not. I hope you are doing well and staying calm and positive. It will happen for you one day hun, I just hope that it is soon! Take care.
Hi to everyone else - hope you are all well.
AFM, I am with my mum ATM. She is in hospital recovering and having heaps of tests after a series of mini strokes on Sunday evening. Luckily I was with her and noticed the signs and got her to hospital straight away. So this week has kind of turned pear shaped for me, but thank goodness all of my testing for this cycle was finished early otherwise I would be very stressed. Nothing much else going on, just waiting now for this period and then onto BCP to align my cycle with the donor's.
Chez - OMG hope your Mum is ok. That must have been horrific. Have they gotten to the bottom of it yet? Hope she recovers quick and they can find what is causing all those ministrokes.
Sorry for lack of personals. I've been missing in action for awhile now. To be honest, it was lovely having a month off TTC, not worrying or thinking about every niggle! We are ttc this month and ov'd last weekend so now into the TWW somewhere around CD21. I've had some cramping like last time and freaked out last night that I'm going to miscarry again. Trying to stay positive though and will see how we get on. The ov kits I used this time worked like a charm!
Hope you are all well and look forward to hearing of some BFP's soon! Have a great weekend!
Chez - I am so glad you were with your Mum and could get her to the hossy - it's scary for everyone. Being in Hossy for unexpected events brings its own trauma as does getting adjusted to the hossy environment. I spent a lot of time in ICU with my bro last year and it is very confronting, but after a while that alien environment becomes almost a natural one. Have to say I don't miss it now I don't have to go there. Hope you and your Mum are going ok and that you're not too stressed about TTC testing.
Susie - glad to hear some optimism in your post....and that your surgery went well and you are recovering. The optimism of your surgeon must be nice to have.
Gi - thinking of you.
Powelly - good luck with this cycle - it's good to have a break sometimes.
AFM - close but so far away. I have been having a really tough time the past couple of days - really weepy, not coping with little things, not wanting to go out at all... but have forced myself to go out once or twice on short adventures and today managed to do some thinking and have a bit more of a grip on why I was feeling the way I was. It was pretty complex and also linked with my grief. Anyway, since having a mini epiphany about it all, I feel a bit better and less glum. Which is a relief as I am not normally a really weepy person. Poor DH has been valiantly trying to support me but it's hard for him to do that properly when I didn't know what was going on myself. Take care my lovelies and I hope to share some good news with you soon.
Oh Dory, any "normal" pregnant woman would feel that way this close the the big day, weepy, excited, nervous, scared, tired, to name but a few emotions that aren't helped by the last massive surges of pregnancy hormones. But for us women, we have the added burden of grief and panic. All I can say is try to think positive.
Visualise your bub entering the world, into your arms, that first time you gaze into their eyes, smell their skin, hear their meowing cries. Whilst doing this, take slow deep breaths, in two three... out two three.... I'm sure you'll be amazing and I wish you all the best in the next few days. Big hugs
Powelly - you're right and that visual image and those thoughts are just so beautiful...thankyou... and the good thing is, I already know those feelings, and the love I had for my babies at their birth... imagine how amazing it will be this time around? As you can see I am in a much better place... thank goodness - I didn't much like that other one. But it is good to know it's "normal", whatever that is.
Dory- I have been thinking about you a lot on and off today. Hope all is good.
Suzie- I hope the post surgery results are good.......
Powelly- good luck hope your TWW meets a BFP.........Love your words to Dory, I will try and pos visualize too.....
Chez- good spotting with your mum....I hope she's OK. I hope your aligning with your donor works....how exciting!
AFM no AF as yet....NOT testing as I am enjoying not being sad because I'm not pregnant. IVF starts this week but only when and "if" AF arrives.....arrrrgh......
Glad you got the reference....:P I had never watched any Black Adder until a few years ago when DH sat down with me and we made our way through all of them. I don't mind it, but I don't get the yelling. I am not really a Monty Python fan I have to say. Guess it's just not to my sense of humour.
Just popping in to check in on everybody, particularly Dory! Glad to hear you are doing well hun. Go the visualisation - I really believe it works. You're so close now I am getting excited for you!
Kateo - I have FX'd for you too that you don't need IVF - it's happened to plenty of couples that their cycle was cancelled due to a natural pg! GL hun.
Powelly - hope you're staying sane during the TWW! Have my FX'd for you too (I'm gonna run out of fingers )
Suzie - hope you're recovering from surgery well, both physically and mentally and that you get some awesome results.
Gigi - how are you doing hun? Thinking of you.
A big thanks to everyone for your kind words of support about my mum. She is out of hospital now and doing better.
AFM, I'm back home and things are slowly starting to return to normal. There was so much to catch up on at work today, and I still don't feel that I have completely caught up but I think I have dealt with the important stuff and everything else can just wait a bit longer. Work has been understanding about me taking time off which is great but it doesn't remove the work that piles up while I am away.
No real change for me, still waiting for AF to arrive which given my mood swings today is likely to be soon. I can't get used to the waiting - some days disappear by really quickly and other days like today just seem to drag on, and on... It still feels like ages away until our first decent holiday this year which will be at Christmas which I am really looking forward to - 10 days in a beach house with the family - should be great! And if I am lucky enough to be pg then I will be enjoying the relaxed lifestyle of being at the beach and being able to swim, and walk, and just chill. That is my Christmas wish - I hope it comes true!
I will update you when I know more. Take care everyone.

Hi eveeryone....So sorry. I am stupid crazy busy atm and so sorry i haven't been in. I accidently went into the wrong thread yesterday and got all disorientated. I am chasing my tail atm and I will be in very soon.
AFM- CD13 after a horrid AF last week. I will catch you up but all is well...NOT pregnant!
DOry- love...been thinking of you sweet and very excited for you.
Suzie- great news the surgery is over hun. xoxo
God i am really not able to be 100% and with it. Will be back when I can. xoxoxo Lov eyou all!
Gi, sorry to hear you had a doozy of a month! They are the worst! At least they end. Be kind to yourself over the next few days until the hormones settle.
AFM! Argh! I am 11DPO and have had some brown spotting this morning, and AF isn't due til Sunday. I have been a teary mess all week, with swollen boobs. But now I'm thrown! I am really anxious and uptight. I really hate this rollercoaster some days!
Sorry for the vent. I just hate not knowing where I'm at.
