Hey Ling,
Sorry for my absence - back at work and one of the ladies is off until tomorrow so been a little hectic (thankfully today quieter.....so far).
Sorry to hear you have had a low day or two - but completely understandable hun, especially after what you have been through. Tbh I think we all have the same visions as you and times of celebration make everything seem 100x worse. And there is no way you are sad hun...if you are then the majority of us ladies on here are too LOL!
I am really pleased to hear that you have got the job!!!!! Exciting to be starting on something new and, as you say, this will help the time speed by til your treatment starts. Before you know it you will be celebrating your BFP - along with Scarlett and Minnie!
Big ((((HUGS)))) and lots of PMA coming your way!

Good luck

Well I go tthe job and I start on Tuesday so am really happy about that - something else to focus on for a while! And hopefully it will make the time whizz by until treatment!
Am on Cycle 1 still, CD10 - unfortunately we cant try for a baby in that time so it is a little frustrating to know I could be ovulating soon and I cant catch the egg, but I know I have 12 little frosties just waiting to get back in the warmth of my uterus!

Hi Ling,
Big (((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))
I must admit I have been feeling the same way recently. So I know exactly how you are feeling. you are perfectly entitled to feel that way. But just remember, you, Minnie and I are going to get our BFP's early next year.
Love and kisses,
Scarlett xxxxxxxxxxx17/11/08 17:39
Hi Ling,
Just wanted to send you a big (((((((HUG)))))) and say that you are definitely not sad. I think every woman on here has the dreams you mention of Christmas day and all of the other days that others have with their children. I had so many plans for my baby for this Christmas even though it would only have been 1month old, but nevertheless it would have been so magical.
Even yesterday I got upset as my brother and his 2 kids and my sister and her daughter were all going off swimming together for the afternoon and I was just going home to my empty house. I know I am so lucky and I am that one step closer and have so many things crossed nothing goes wrong this time so that I can do what may seem to those with kids very trivial, but to us are massive.
You are soooooo entitled to feel down, you wouldn't be normal if you didn't and you WILL be celebrating your BFP next year and have that extra special Xmas with your baby. We have to believe it.
Take care and hope your job news comes through soon.

Sorry to hear you're having a bad day hun, but it really is understandable especially with your ET being delayed. I'm sure your uterus is becoming nice and cosy as we speak so by the time you are having your little treasures put back, they're going to have no option but to stick around

Aw hunni (((hugs))) I know exactly how you feel hun, this time next year you WILL be a Mum xxx

Hi Ling - I'm sorry you are having a low day - completely understandable and we should all expect days like it - but just wanted to send you some ((((HUGS)))) and say you are not alone. I absolutely adore Christmas time but its also a time that can be so very difficult too. I've been xmas shopping but always feel a bit down when going through the baby clothes/toys etc and always see so many pg women and little babies - which makes the longing for harder. Allow yourself your low days hunni - it's only natural. Hope you feel a bit better later- start your positivity now - next year you WILL have your little miracle at Christmas xxxxxxxx

Hi Ling
I don't post very often but I do read the diaries on here and I feel exactly the same as you. Everywhere I look I see pg women, toys and babies!! And the more desperate I get the more I notice it. This weekend in Ikea too we the crouds seemed to bottleneck in the childrens dept and I couldn't move for massive pg bumps and babies in prams!! I felt like my head would explode (and the fact we were in Ikea didn't help)!!
I really hope I will have a baby to spoil next Christmas too and judging by all the good luck in here lately it will be our turn

Hello all! Havent heard back from job yet so fingers crossed they havent struck me off!
Anyway, feeling a little low today..... I guess I just want a baby. And I think it is all this Christmas spirit floating around is making me think about family and how I cant wait to have my little darlings opening presents on Christmas day around our christmas tree! A romantic notion but one I just keep picturing.
I hope we get pregnant early next year so that next Christmas we will have our much desired family. Am so desperate now!! Sounds so sad, but I just cant wait to be a mum!
Sorry to sound down today, just having one of those days. At least I am working towards treatment now and something positive is being done.

Hi Ling,
Congrats on the job offer
- and good luck with the negotiating!! Great that the timing works so well too - sounds like that could be things coming together neatly; it must just be meant to be.... I can't believe that bit of letter you posted - clearly they were expecting to be writing to Dr Ling to expect to understand that pile of rubbish! Someone obviously likes using long words to make themself feel/sound clever!! Anyway, at least you knew the outcome without having to get that translated - lol!
Take care and
to you,Jxx

Hi Ling,
Well done on your new job and hopefully you will squeeze some more money out of them, after all you will need it next year with all the extra costs of baby things !!! PMA
You're right about the letter tho, it's such a good job that you got a more layman response over the phone as god only knows what you would have thought that had meant if that was the first thing you had read???!
I hope that your PMA has returned to full strength as am convinced that this really does help??
Take care,
Suzie X15/11/08 11:02
Yay congrats re the job offer
and brilliant that it would tie in so well with your treatment. Lets hope you can negotiate a good deal re dosh!Err I am completely lost re the letter - how do they expect jo public to be able to understand that!!!! Good job dh was able to get an answer out of them earlier for you hun.
Take care

Thanks ladies - well today has been fairly eventful, I got offered that job!! I am really pleased but money is not that good so I am currently 'negotiating' to see if I can get a bit more before I accept - credit crunch and all
It will be good to be kept busy and its a three month contract which fits really well with my treatment plan.
Talking of which I finally got the letter through about the endometrial biopsy I had done - three weeks after the procedure!! I'm glad dh pushed them into telling me last week what it meant as the letter is absolutely gobbledygook to me. I feel I should quote it just so that you can believe it. Does anyone actually understand this?!! Or am I just being thick!!
"The gross appearance of the endometrium was hypertrophic on the anterior wall. Fragments of endometrium showing predominantly early secretory glands and focal proliferative glands embedded in a dense stroma with rare mitotic figures. There is focal perivascular decidualisation. There is no evidence of endometritis, hyperplasia or malignancy"
( I like the last sentence
- understood that! But the rest of it - only know its normal cos he said on phone last week!! Glad I phoned cos leter is boll0cks)14/11/08 17:20
Hi Ling
I just wanted to say that I hope the next 3 and a half months fly by for you! You have had such a difficult time, and fingers crossed FET is a success!

Hi Ling, just popping in to see how you are doing and glad to see you are feeling a bit more positive, 3.5 months will fly by hun and then it is all go go go ! x
13/11/08 18:06
Yay, good to hear the PMA is back - you have been through alot emotionally the past couple of weeks but you are a strong lady hun! It can only help you on your journey!
I agree if def helps having something to countdown/aim for.
xxxxx13/11/08 14:43
Hope so Orbette, now I know our eggs and sperm have fertilised and that we have a stash of embryos and that I dont have endometrial cancer
, I do have a very strong PMA back and that hopefully with the womb lining texture back to normal we will fall pg!!I've written down the steps as I think it always helps to have the next milestone to countdown to. So at the moment I am now on countdown to Day 25 of this cycle.
Congratulations on the new job hunni - well done!! Hopefully this will e just the tonic for you in the next 3 months and then all systems go for your BFP!! Yay!! Thank you so much for your posts in my diary - you are a real friend, and that's much needed at the moment xxxx
