Afternoon everyone
Biscuits, biscuits don't start mentioing biscuits I could just eat some shortbread LOL. Well I hope everyone is ok.
Taz I am glad you decided to go for the less stressful job. Money isnt everything. I took a 10,000 pay cut when I took this job I am in now and I have loved every day. I wake up and enjoy going to work. ok some days are boring or a little stressful but nothing like what i used to get. I hate that dreadful feeling when you hate your job and you wake up feeling sick at the thought of going to work. Life is too short.
Fingers what a terrible thing to happen to your sister. I do hope that the pills work and she starts to get better quickly. You made me laugh re the pillow £70.00!!!!!!!!! Jesus!!!! LOL I dont think my bed cost that LOL (Joking!!) That scan sounded very official I never had any of that. Hopefully you will start your stimming soon stock up on pineapple 
Chestnutgirl are you going to test tomorrow. I am so excited for you i am keeping everything crossed.
Shopgirl have you had a sneaky test LOL? Goog luck if you havnt. Not long now!!!!
Zhanna I hope your keeping well.
AFM - I have a shooting pain in my right shoulder blade which is taking my breath away. I dont know if I have been sleeping funny or what but it is connected to my neck when I put my chin on my chest it really hurts at the bottom of my shoulder blade. Suppose it one of those things about getting old. i ache all the blumming time now but I was interested to hear about the Burselin I have been on that and have had pains all over too but I just thought it was the weather!! (You know what they say about rainy weather and pains and aches). Oh well suppose will never know.
Right off to do some lunch now and may cook some shortbread!! LOL It prob will only be out the over 2 mins before I set at it!
Take care everyone x |

Hi Ladies,
So sorry that you havent had your BFP yet Chestnutirl....Im still keeping everything crossed for you that youv'e just got a late implanter and afterall your OTD isnt until the 22/8 so still anther 5 days to go xx
Sar, ooooohh how good are you baking your own shortbread?? I wish I was more domesticated, afraid its packet shortbread for me all the time!
Fingers, how was the new pillow last night? better nights sleep?? I didnt sleep a wink, have been awake since 2.30am this morning and boy am I flagging now!! Realised in the night that the new job want me to have a medical before I start, not quite sure what that will entail but if they think they are getting me on a treadmill to test my heart rate during my 2WW they have go another think coming! Guess it may not be possible to hide my BFP if it all works out for me.....anyway after worrying about it all night I finally realised this morning 'what the hell, what will be will be' no point worrying about something that hasnt happened yet!
Shopgirl and Zanna, hope you are both ok?
Trying so hard not to have a nap this afternoon so I will (hopefully!!) sleep tonight!
Love Taz xx |

Hi girls,
Having major panic! I had some spotting this morning, only a little & brown but spotting none the less. It's eased off through the day but had a little bit again just now. I rang care this morning & they said to take it easy & carry on with pessaries but up back passage instead!!!! I'm not sure about that but needs must!
Really don't know what to think. I'm determined not to test early & I'm not going too.
Just so scared this is all over now. I at least thought I'd get to my OTD. I'm not even due on my AF yet, not until sat/sun!
Don't know what to do!!?!
Xxxx |

Hi Shopgirl,
Oh poor you, try not to worry (easier said than done, I know) but brown spotting is common and can be due to implantation and/or the pesky pessaries. There are lots of people who have brown spotting, even pinkish during their 2ww and go on to have healthy pregnancies. I suspect care think it may be the pessaries which is why they have suggested trying them in a different location. 
Good on you for not testing early, it wont change the outcome and could create unnecessary stress for you.
Got everything crossed for you, try not to worry too much hun its probably your little embryo snuggling deep into your lining. Do what they say, rest with your feet up and pessaries up your bum!!  lol
Taz

Evening ladies
Taz - soo glad you made you midn up. I think personally you are making the right decision. Especially as you are thinking of the adoption route if all doesn't go well this time. Although I really hope it does for you hun.
I have never had the blessing of a father's wisdom as mine was a total £($($*") and haven't had contact since I was 5. Never want contact again so not to worry about that one! Glad you have that kind of support though. I always did wonder what it would have been like. Nothing like a father's love for his little daughter - or so i have been told.
I know my hubby will hopefully be such a good dad. oh bless I can just imagine it! 
The the pillow is not one of the those pregnancy ones but I do like the look of those. I watched the Jennifer Lopex film the other day where she goes for IUI and she has one of those which her other half eventually throws out coz she likes that pillow more than him int he end! lol She goes and gets it out of the dumpster! Wow - did I sound American - dumpster!!! lol
Don't know about the back pain but it has only started in the past couple of weeks so that is why i am putting it down to the drugs.
Didn't sleep much last week. more sleep than you but waking up every hour or so to wee and then tossing and turning. Boo. Can't believe you have been awake since 2am. Can't you try and take something herbal - not chinese herbal but there has gotta be something you can take. You need sleep hun its not good to be tired right now.
Medical? What job is it?
Sar - ok i won't mention biscuits. Nah I will but i will not admit to eat 4 packets yesterday plus 2 hot chocolates after my scan! lol - piggy me
Can't believe how domesticated you sound. Cooking your own shortbread. I can do melting moments and rice crispie cakes but not short bread. YUM!
I did ask the nurses about the pineapple nuts and milk and they said that there is no scientific proof but i will try anyway. give me something to nibble on hey.
Think you should see the GP about that pain. It doesn't sound normal. Have you tried stretching? just thinking you might have a trapped nerve or something.
Chestnut - still another 5 days to go so you never know what will happen. Stay positive as maybe that cheapy test wasn't very good.
Shopgirl - stay postive too. I have read and as Taz says sometimes bleeds can be from the implantation. Although, I can understand how your mind is going to be working right now as I know for sure i would be exactly the same. my 2ww is in the near future and OMG I am just going to be a bundle of nerves. Carry on with the pessaries as CARE have said no matter where you have to put them! Dignity goes out the window when you start this whole process. i had my knees up around my neck area yesterday so I know! he he he |

Thanks for the support guys. Called the nurses again cos I had more spotting this afternoon & she has told me to double my progesterone dosage & put my feet up. No work for me tomorrow!
Spotting seems to have subsided again so who knows what's going on! Just trying to stay calm.
I'll keep you posted. Early night for me I think.

Morning everyone
Oh Chestnutgirl what a shame you never know a miracle may happen! Try to keep your chin up.
Shopgirl how you feeling. Has the spotting stopped. I hope you have your feet up and are resting. Try to keep positive lots of ladies have spotting and go on to have a positive result. As for the pessaries up the back door well I know how you feel re that I got thrush on my last cycle and had to start putting my pessaries up there! Well it was hysterical if any talent scouts for the local circus had seen me they would have signed me up straight away. Jesus the positions I had to get in I see now why you have to lie down for 30 mins after, I needed to lie down I was exhausted!!! LOL. I have mirrored wardrobe doors which are not kind too which made the process just too much. LOL Honestly if your a size 2 and have legs like a giraff you might be ok but when you got a belly on you and your fighting to get passed that it is no mean feet!!!!
Taz - fancy having to go for a medical. What on earth do you do? Astronaught? Fighter Pilot? LOL.
Fingers - I am glad you are getting all cosy with the pillow. I saw the J Lo film too and it was really funny. My shortbread came out lovely I ate six before tea!!!! I love to cook but I dont do as much as I would like as I would just be like a telly tubby as i would just eat it all. I went to college night school to do an indian cookery course a couple of years ago and we cooked in the lesson then ate it at the end it was fabulous. Everyone chipped in to making the meal and the college bought all the ingredients. I learnt some wonderful dishes and can make great naan bread. I would love to have a family to cook for. Its a damn shame I am single no hubby to do nice meals for. My mates hubby says that he will move in for meal times LOL.
Anyway as for me today well I am having a mental stress. I was up every 2 hours again last night going for a wee and then I was hot then cold I just couldnt settle. I was reading from 4-6 this morning. I am also getting far to into morning TV LOl Homes under the hammer is a particular favourite then this morning and Gino and Mel. Jesus I could be a great couch potato!!! I feel a bit low today though as I am worried that I dont seem to have the same syptoms as I had last time when I was pregnant so I am panicing which is not good. I think I need to get out and do something to take my mind off it.
Speak soon xx |

Hi everyone,
Chestnutgirl, sorry to hear about your BNF but think you had IUI didnt you? I would still test on OTD as I think IUI results take longer to show up that IVF....remember its not over until you get to your OTD. I know you must be dissappointed but its good that you are looking forward and planning your next round.....with a sprinkling of luck you may not need to xx
Sar, I think your symptoms sound exactly like mine last time! I was forever getting up in the night for a wee and would wake up wet through from hot flushes only to go freezing when the flush was over.....I think that sounds quite positive.
Oh how I laughed at your pessaries tale......!!
The indian night school course sounds fantastic, I absolutely adore indian food, although have to try not to eat too much as I pile the pounds on. Something I read the other day was that tummeric(not sure how its spelt!??) acts as an anti-inflamatory, much like Ibuprofen......so I'm cautious of eating any curries at the moment as worried what it may do to my lining!
Hope you manage to take your mind off things a bit today, Daytime TV is really addictive, I try not to watch it these days, otherwise I just end up sitting on the couch all day watching tv with the dog sat at my feet waiting for his walk!
Fingers hope you managed a good night sleep last night. I had the most wonderful sleep......first thing I said to DH before I opened my eyes was "I slept, yeah!!!!!' feel so much better today because of it. Hope you get the call from Care soon so you can start your stimming.
I too watched the JLo film with the pillow, think thats where I got the idea from!
Shopgirl, hope the spotting has stopped. Its such an anxious time. Not too long now until your OTD, fingers crossed xx
AFM, had a very weepy day yesterday, don't know what was wrong with me just felt so negative about everything. I guess the lack of sleep didn't help. Things are a bit slow at the moment (slower than I really think they should be? but cant be too specific!) so Im getting rather worried about whether things aren't going to go our way. I was also getting stressed out about the medical (The job is in Finance so no idea why they want a medical....apparantly it is normal for all their senior management to have a medical!!) anyway I've signed all the contracts now and they've been posted back so officially I now have a job!
Love Taz

Of course I'll let you know Melski! I haven't forgotten you.
I'm in bits today, had the day off work. Still spotting & it's a bit heavier & very brown (sorry TMI!)
Tummy ache today too but I am on double dose progesterone now!
In my heart I know it hasn't worked but I'm hoping the 1% of me that is hopeful can prove the other 99% of me wrong tomorrow.
Thanks for everyones kind words. Don't know what to think or feel. This is just so hard!
Xxxxx |

Hi shopgirl, if the spotting is still brown then it doesn't mean it's all over, could just be old blood or implantation bleed. Try and stay positive Hun. When is your OTD?

It's tomorrow! Mentally I already have convinced myself it's all over. Maybe that's the wrong thing to do but I just have this feeling it's not worked. 
DH is not himself either tonight which isn't helping & he's mad at me for being upset when we don't know for def the result. I guess it's our own way of dealing with it. he's off to play footy so that should help him relieve some stress!!
Best go.....Pessary time again now!!

Oh shopgirl, only one more day to wait so try and relax. If your spotting hasn't been bright red then I honestly don't think you need to convince yourself it's not worked. I've got fingers and toes crossed for you....please let us know how you get on tomorrow....I'm still staying hopeful for you
Lots of baby dust

Oh Shopgirl I am so sorry. What a croc! I am sending you a big hug. I hope that you feel you will be able to try again if you can and I wish you all the luck in the world if you do xx
Chestnutgirl keep hoping you still have time.
Taz I hope you slept ok. I had a wonderful dream inbetween getting up and going to the loo. I was spending time with westlife. Its was great.
Did anyone see celebrity big brother last night on channel 5. I am hooked and fancy the pants off Bobby WOOF he is hot!!!! I dont usually watch the normal big brothers but I do like the celebrity ones. See I am getting TV obsessed. Spent the whole hour and a half texting my mates whilst watching it last night. That Amy Childs is in it and Kerry Katona and jedwood and I think that maybe they will do my head in.
Well off to watch Homes Under The Hammer now LOL god I am sad!!!! been awake since 6!!! NOT good!

How you doing? Give you a run down on me...
I had hot sweats on Mon / Tues on and off/ Wednesday felt sicky / last night I felt cold / everyday I've had cramps at sometime or other, today I've had them for most of the day.... just hope it's a good sign and nothing else... Fingers Crossed.
I'll keep checking to see how you get on.
All the best Sue xx |

finally spoken to Care - I had to call them as they hadnt called me back & I couldnt wait any longer! & they had no idea what i was talking about when I rang up & even asked me when my test day was even though I told them I called up this morning with my result but no one had called me back! they have been so great so far, I'm so disappointed with them today.
Anyway, they said as my bleeding is still very brown then to carry on with the pessaries & test again on sunday. I hadnt done my pessaries this morning as I didnt think I needed to so had to quickly go & pop them in.
I'm still totally convinced that sunday will be no different but I'll do what they say.
Thanks everyone for being so lovely.
