Hi Ladies, I am finally ready to request my FET. I will hopefully get to transfer mid June, so that counts as the summer, right?! I put it off by a month after the move as it would have been too quick and I just wasn't ready, mentally. But with AF arriving today it is time to bite the bullet and get it over and done with!

Louise, how did it go in Belgium?

Lingey, how's things with you? Sold your house yet?

L_ouise · 08 Jun 2011

Hiya Sarah Smile

Have you moved now? Settled in?

Belgium was really promising thanks Smile

We're looking at egg collection about 7th September so a bit later than I'd hoped but what can you do... The consultants are away lol

I'm glad that you are feeling better about the FET - I'm really hoping it works out for you this time. How many frosties do you have?

L_ouise · 08 Jun 2011

Sorry, missed your replies Lingey Smile

Thanks a lot! Very Happy

How is your cycle going? xx

Sarah76 · 16 May 2011

I have 2 blastocysts frozen, and we want both of them transferred. Unfortunately, I just got a phone call from a nurse to say that they can't take me this cycle as they are full up. Really annoying, as it has taken me quite a while to be ready to go again, and now I have to wait, again!

Sounds like things are going well with Belgium though, I read your thread on General. I suppose I need to stop moaning about travelling to Manchester if you're going that far!! So glad it is looking really positive for you.

We are settled in quite nicely now. Still got a fair bit of decorating to do (I guess I have the time to get it all finished now), but the place is looking good. Getting some wallpapering done this weekend on the "feature walls" in 3 rooms, and then just need to wait for new carpet in the dining room, and then we can finally unpack everything for in there. We're also looking at getting a new kitchen in the next month or so too, so been getting quotes in for all of that. Sourcing a lot of the stuff ourselves, but getting the cabinets and doors from Magnet. Got one quote from them for Â£6700, to which I said I was hoping for something nearer Â£5k. Low and behold, it came back at Â£4995!!

I suppose another month isn't too much to wait, and I do have a lot to do before I'm pregnant (PMA!) But it does make me want a drink tonight, just when I'd begun to be good again!!

Lingey · 30 Jan 2012

Sarah sounds like your settling in nicely to new pad remember Rome wasn't built in a day! The next month will fly by good luck with everything when it happens xxx

Louise sound promising I know it's a bit later than you wanted but it will be worth the wait I will keep my eye out for your progress!!!! Good luck honey xxx

AFM on the roller coaster again its looking like EC next week if I get that far this time but I'm staying positive take care ladies

Lingey xxx

Sarah76 · 16 May 2011

Lingey, you sneaked that one in! Big Luck!!!

Lingey · 30 Jan 2012

Sneaky me lol, thanks its all looking good so far hoping I make EC this time its looking like early next week for me! Excited excited!!! and everything crossed for fertilisation!!!

Good luck with your blasties It won't be long until you start!!! I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!!

Good luck everyone else wherever you are!!! Lingey xxx

L_ouise · 08 Jun 2011

Sorry I'm a bit rubbish keeping up to date at the moment - time is dragging. All I have on my mind is getting these results back from the mouse test to see what the prognosis is and besides that I'm thoroughly idle and bored Smile

So when will ET be now Sarah?

I'm glad the move went well Smile

i hope your redecorating goes at a better pace than mine lol

How is the new work place?

Lingey - I'm watching your cycle buddies thread Smile

Just go with your gut re the number transferred. If you can handle the bad as well as the good associated with twins, then I'd go for two. You are still well on your way to a BFP but it could have gone better, so make the most of it. Good luck for tomorrow assuming it will be ET day - eeeeeeeeeek Very Happy

Lingey · 30 Jan 2012

Louise waiting for results of mouse test sounds exciting things are happening for you then!!! September will be here before you know it! And I'm not surprised you feel like time is dragging bless you!! Stay positive ðŸ˜‰ I keep an eye on this thread to keep up to date with where your at bless you, you will get your mojo back soon! How is your home gym that you were getting?

Our house move is all on, it has been a nice distraction but getting stressful now lol especially as I'm on the roller coaster ðŸŽ¢ at the mo lol

Defo eeeek looks like its gonna b ET tomozz I would of liked to have more eggs and embryos but for my age it's not too bad, and im grateful i got this far this time! I think we have decided if we have decent ones tomozz we will go for a double transfer and risk the twins, it's only 25% so it's one in four and wouldn't be a disaster if we did get twins we wil be overjoyed with any number of babies!!!! Fingers crossed it happens!!!

Lingey xxx

L_ouise · 08 Jun 2011

Oh the home gym is just gathering dust... I just haven't managed to metally allocate time for it. I am doing a lot of physical work though around the house (lame excuse).

When is you OTD? xx

Lingey · 30 Jan 2012

Time to blow of the dust and get into it then for you!!! Although can understand why you don't feel like it!!! The waiting around must be driving you insane!!! Stay strong and glad to hear your keeping yourself busy around the house did you get all your rooms decorated? And dare I ask about the bed??? ðŸ˜‰

My OTD (dreaded pregnancy test) is the 20 th a whole two weeks away today!!! Eeeek have had so many negative tests over the years really not looking forward to it I'm happier being PUPO ðŸ˜‰

Lingey xxx

L_ouise · 08 Jun 2011

You really do have a great shot at a BFP though and although it'll be fond farewells at least by the time it comes around I'll be two weeks closer to treatment for me Very Happy

The bed is fab thanks ! Love it Smile

The weather turned nice today so trying to get he he'd done but typically I can't find something I really need and hubby is off having fun in the sun on his bike. He knows where it is too! xx

Lingey · 30 Jan 2012

Spending my time trawling the Internet lol it's going to be a long long two weeks for me ðŸ˜‰ hopefully fingers crossed the weather will be nice today (bank hols are always a wash out though) and will manage a walk later! I have spent too much time in bed lol

Glad your bed is comfy and I hope your DH enjoyed his bike ride did you find what you were looking for?

Time will fly for you (I hope) and the extra wait will be worth it for a positive outcome! And I will defo keep my eye on what your up too exciting times ahead for you xxx

Sarah76 · 16 May 2011

Congrats Lingey. Sounds like it all went very well. I'd always go for 2 now, and refuse to get talked out of it like I have been twice now! Everything crossed for you on 20th Smile

I got another room decorated this weekend, and 2 pairs of curtains up, so the house is getting there slowly but surely. Will be much better after next weekend once we have carpet in the dining room and can put all of that room's stuff in and unpacked, rather than having it all over the house!

Louise, when do you get the mouse results?

L_ouise · 08 Jun 2011

Argh Lingey I get a sicky excited feeling when I think of you with two embryos! I really hope you get a BFP Smile

Sarah we get the mouse results by the end of this week! I got an email off them yesterday and the test will be happening tomorrow... I feel sick to my stomach about it when I think about it. It's like all or nothing. Either it gives us the green light that we really can look forward to some embryos in September or the complete opposite and it tells us that we will never have children together... And it's all my fault and not hubby's after he's taken all the "blame" to date.

Pretty intense, huh?

I said to my hubby that we could get some eggs off my sister which i think would be a perfect solution and you know what he said?

"She's a bit dim though..." rofl!

I've done some DIY too Very Happy

The shed is a mess so I've build a frame that I can put a worktop on and it's turned out fab Very Happy

Now I just need the worktop... Either I get a cheap one for Â£35 but need to find a way of transporting a 3m length of worktop... Or I buy one online that can be delivered but the cheapest are Â£70!

Lingey · 30 Jan 2012

Hi ladies

Louise your comment about suggesting using your sisters eggs and hubby response made me chuckle lets hope the mouse test results come back soon so you will be able to look to the future! I hope your not feeling too anxious about getting the results it's nearing the end of the week so just wanted to say I was thinking of you and will keep my eye out for the results ðŸ˜‰ ðŸ€good luck honey and will be keeping everything crossed!!! ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ™

Sarah76 it sounds like your motoring ahead with your decorating it will be keeping you busy while you wait bless you although not long now!!! I will keep my eye for you jumping back on the ðŸŽ¢roller coaster soon ðŸ˜‰ our buyers have changed solicitors which has put things back again on our move which is not such a bad thing at the mo so still waiting for a date for the big move!

This 2ww feels like forever, some side effects from the lovely pessaries but other than that feel the same the 20 th feels like a long way away and not sure I have the patience to resist testing early! I will keep you posted!

It seems to have gone a bit quiet on here lately so I hope everyone else is keeping themselves busy while I between

Lingey ðŸ’œðŸ’œðŸ’œ

Sarah76 · 16 May 2011

Thanks for posting here, Lingey, as your buddies thread is so big I haven't the time to trawl through it to see your updates! Only (yeah, only, lol) 10 more days before OTD. Try and keep calm, but do let us know if you sucumb and test earlier (I bet you do Very Happy

)

I should know a couple of days after you if I can get in for my FET this time. Only just realised that, so now I'm nervous and impatient too! Keeping busy this weekend with the dining room, as we now have carpet. Upon which one of the kitties decided to deposit half a dead something this morning! My best guess was mouse, but you really couldn't tell. But at least it was nommed somewhere else, so no blood on the brand new carpet. I did unpack a box of books today only to find them covered in muddy paw prints. Cat + Box = must get inside!!

Everything crossed for you, Louise. We don't want dumb eggs, now do we?!! bless Smile

Lingey · 30 Jan 2012

Sarah hope the dining room decorating has gone well!!!! Our move is a bit behind now and dreading all the decorating ours needs a lot doing to it (grand designs style lol) we must be mental it needs new electrics and central heating joy of joys!!!

Louise commented on your exciting news on the other thread! ðŸ˜‰

AFM havin AF like pains today i have looked back on my cancelled cycle and after trigger HCG last time I had my period 14 days later it's the same 14 days today after triggering HCG this cycle and I'm paranoid every time I go to the loo, I'm defo not going to be able to wait until sunday for testing I'm a broken woman already lol I will of course keep you updated when I do pluck up the courage to test!

Lingey xxx

Sarah76 · 16 May 2011

Not too long to go now, honey. Still holding strong? Hope your pains have gone away.

I got the approval to have both blastocysts transferred! So relieved. I wrote to the consultant, and I got a brief but to the point reply saying I had made a concise and convincing case, and the approval had been given. It almost feels like it's worked already! Twins; it was always meant to be. We joked about it from the start.

Lingey · 30 Jan 2012

Sarah I have broken and done test early it's bloody positive wo wo so excited gotta wait til Sunday for official test so will be weeing on sticks until then so excited xxx thanks Louise for your support xxxx

L_ouise · 08 Jun 2011

Congrats Sarah! That's great news Very Happy

So when is it happening? July?

I've replied to your news on the buddies thread Lingey Wink

Congratulations! xx

Lingey · 30 Jan 2012

Wo wo Sarah that's exciting!!! Xxx

Sarah76 · 16 May 2011

Aww, well done Lingey. I'm chuffed for you!

I'm hoping it will be July, Louise. Depends if they knock me back again or not, but I think that the fact they couldn't take me last month means I get priority this month. It had better blooming do!!

L_ouise · 08 Jun 2011

I'm sure they won't knock you back again Smile

God i'm bored with all this waiting around. I'm sleeping more and more and when i'm awake i'm grumpy and just want to go back to bed :-/

No one seems to linger much between cycles, but then again i guess there isn't much to talk about anyway!

The weight loss isn't going too well - mainly because i'm eating like a pig... go figure. Three weeks ago i was 11st 11 and today i was 11st 10 *sigh*. I think my main problem is trying to fit my eating around hubby and he doesn't like dieting and i tend to give us pretty much the same amount too because there is nothing worse than having a child's portion of food in comparison to a man's portion... why don't they do women sized plates?

I think i'm going to have to cut hubby loose and make him do his own from now on xx

Sarah76 · 16 May 2011

I totally gave up on the dieting ages ago, and so I haven't even looked at a set of scales in the last 3 months. Knowing it was ages off, and that making me feel a little depressed (somewhat like you, perhaps, Louise?) I just could not be arsed with it. Like you say, DH isn't interested, and that makes it harder. Then moving meant eating everything from the freezer anyway, no matter what it was. Then the move.... all in all I've not been bad, but I'd not been good. On the food front. However, we are drinking far too much (this weekend we got through a litre of gin, probably most of 75cl of vodka). It's not good, but we can't seem to stop. I know if I just did it would do my weight the world of good (not to mention my health), but I suppose I'm in a rut.

I'm hoping getting a start date will snap me out of it.

So, I can appreciate how you're feeling Louise. Do you have any idea when your waiting will end? You clearly need another hurdle to overcome to keep you going!! Chin up, honey. You'll get there. You certainly deserve it. Plus, get all the sleep you can now, because soon enough you won't be getting any!! Wink
