Hiya Scaredycat,

hmmm... for some reason Im not getting notifications of new posts to this forum.... I just happend to spot you on the 2010 babies list!!!!!

Yay!!! Im so happy for you. Thats so amazing.

Well Im doing ok apart from the morning sickness (all day sickness in my case) got 8 weeks scan next week so really excited about that now!

So how about you how are you feeling?? any symptoms yet?

Yeap weekly blood tests for me too.... not sure if I will make this weeks! dont seem to be able to drag my butt out of bed before 10!!! Due to have it tomorrow morning but might just have it this avo if im feeling up to it....

I got lots of twinges and cramping the first time round with Ryan but nothing this time... just the morning sickness so far.. no sore boobies nothing! I dont even think the girls got sore while I was preg with Ryan but I do remember them getting huge!

Are you gonna find out what youa re having??

Scardy Cat I am so glad to hear the blood test is looking good.

Life has just been marching on for us. I am waiting for my first AF since the one at the end of our failed cycle (came the afternoon of the neg bloodtest right on time). I am now at day 31 and my cycles used to be reg 27-28 days. I know it is insane (especialy since I have sevearly damaged tubes) and it is most likely to be just the after effects of the treatment but my boobs are sore and I can't help but have thoughts of "what if the test was wrong" or "I have somehow concived this month" totaly crazy I know and I am not insane enough to do a test or mention this to anyone else but here. It's just that sometimes you just can't stop those crazy thougts.

We are having our follow up apointment at FA tommorow.

Thanks ScaredyCat

Hi Scaredy,

AF started Thursday. Follow up was good. Next cycle is to be Aug/Sept (Exact month tba by funding soon). We are doing long protocol again but with 220 puregon instead of 150 to try and get more eggs and will take no chances with the fertilization do icsi this time. We had 3 eggs that just didn't fertilize and there is no way of defining if it was the eggs or the sperm. MY DH is also taking Menivit (the equivalent of Elevit) now.

I do really want to do this again but I am worried about how I am going to cope with it all. I took a lot of time off with the first cycle (self employed so basically just turned work away) and we just can't afford to do that again so soon.

Thanks ScardyCat,

I can work any hours, but found with my last cycle I was quite tired in the evenings. I also have a 5 year old to look after. My MIL is trying to train up to help (though sometimes she takes up more time than she saves).

I run a digital design and printing company from home mainly doing wedding stationery (which can be stressful). We do all the production here too and have some heafty overheads in the form of a lease on my printing machine that has to be covered. I asked for a holiday form the payments the two months we were not taking in new custoimers to lighten the load but can't do that again.

I have increased my pricing to try to cut down on orders but am still getting at least an enquiry a day. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining it is good to have work but I worry it will all get too much. I do have some plans to try to better manange things, the first one is re-working my web site (which I do all myself) to try and cut down on the questions and make it all clearer. My DH is planning on taking a week off his day job in a few weeks time to help me with the web site and sort out a few things.
