I hope you are feeling better today cazhd. Any sign of the yet? Nothings changed here . You guys are so funny, between the vision of noja in a dress with irish legs leaving hosp and cazhd fainting on the consultant as he show you out to the car .... hehehe

All is good here, just keeping warm and watching more DVDs. Although I have had some dizziness today, started last night. Don't know what thats about...hmmm. Other than that, not much else. Hope you are all well, keep us posted how things are going gals.

Hi lioness no sign of the witch yet, although boobs getting more tender??? You had any luck with yet?

Good to hear your feeling okay and carrying on with the relaxing. Me and DH went out today and think it's taken its toll, been really sick and had to come home and feeling generally lowsy now!!!

Was bit upset earlier was sitting in car with my mum and she brought up a situation at the moment which to cut a long story short is my sis is pregnant (17wks now) and told people in confidence prior to scan and people found out (Think it was her sister in law and mother in law telling people) Her sister in law ttc for years and found out eventually couldn't have children and then went on to adopt two children. I think my sis being pregnant has brought feelings back for her about not being able to have her own and the emotional rollercoaster she experienced so felt she had to tell someone, i can really understand this!!! My mum was saying how wrong she is and should be glad she has got two children. I was so angry and was nearly on my high horse but then i would have blurted it all out about my own problems. I eventually just said well your lucky to have had three children easily mum and the rest of my family have all had pregnancies easily and until your in that situation of unable to bear a child how can you judge how someone else will feel. i just wanted to run away. DH got back in car and couldn't understand what was wrong and couldn't tell him till two hrs later when we were on our own.

oh well god sends these things to test us i'm sure and you have to carry on regardless. hope your ok, big

Sorry to hear you had a lousy day Cazhd, sounds like its the last thing you need right now . I know what you mean about people making comments about things they know nothing about, it hurts when that happens. I am sure they don't mean any harm, they just don't think before they speak and live in their own little bubble, they are insensitive to what other people have or are going through. I hope DH was supportive when you were able to tell him. How are you today?

I am still just cruising around home, I don't feel house bound yet, just glad to not have to go anywhere or do anything. I am using this time to emotionally heal as well. Things get busy with work, tcc journey and everything that I get quite exhausted.

My tummy is still a bit tender, but the swelling gone down quite alot now. No sign of the yet.

Hope you feel better soon after yesterday

Thanks lioness, i'm doing okay have to get on with things and just turn a blind eye to peoples comments. Some people are really insensitive. Went to work today to see my manager and hand in sick line, met one of the staff outside and she said i'm the talk of the place cos kept private why i'm off, why does everyone want to know everyones business are we not allowed any privacy in this world? One of the staff who is extremely nosey and likes to know everyones business said to someone who i'm friendly with at work "so did she lose the baby?" i mean why would you make that up? She said i don't know why she's off but sure thats not the reason!!!! If i didn't know why someone was off i wouldn't pry and certainly wouldn't make vicous rumours up. Don't want to go back now

Hope your okay

Oh thats no good, sorry to hear you have to go through all that . I don't like rumours and gossipers...they don't realise how hurtful and damaging it can be. I'm like you, I would never do that to anyone. The only thing I can suggest is to tell them to "Mind their own business" or something similar as they don't need to know. You have the right to tell who you want to tell, need to know basis I say!!! I haven't called into work yet, I am pretty private and stand offish...I don't know if they would be game to ask or say anything to me .

Stay strong, try and ignore them and remember... you don't have to answer to them!!! When are you due back?

Not much happening here, been keeping low and resting... just the way I like it . I did go to the TCM acupuncturist today...he is always really good, he knows his specialty and cares. He advises me against tcc this month anyway...to allow my body to heal and build up so that when I do conceive my body will be strong and healthy. I need to wait until the returns anyway, so its all good, I feel positive about it all (at the moment anyway) hehehe! Are you still looking at TCM/acupuncture?

Hope you feel better soon

Thanks lioness you always make me feel better with your kind words. Wish i was stronger and more like you and a little stand offish. Would make a big difference. I've told them i'm alright and rather not discuss my private affairs but some folk just live on gossiping, i can't even understand why some people would make these things up.

Glad your session with TCM/ accupunture went well. Our plan is to go to accupuncturist when we return from hol and will be on my next cycle. A month off sounds good idea just to let your body rest and recuperate.

Going back to work for one shift a week tommorrow if i'm okay. Then off for a fortnight for our hol. Hopefully i'll be okay for next week belly button still really inflammed and weaped a couple of times so keeping a close eye. Will see gp next tue.

Been a bit stressed out today. My interior mirror fell off windscreen day before op so took it to get fixed today thinkin it would be simple job as if!! They phoned after 5 hours to say couldn't get it to bond and then decided i had the wrong windscreen for my car. So told me I would have to replace the windscreen and then they would fix the mirror. The car is only two years old and i bought it from them so assured them it was there problem not mine. Ended up after 5 phone calls and a call to my dad who is very good with these matters, i had to threaten legal action and tell them i'd contacted a lawyer and they were in breach of providing me with a faulty car and my lawyer was assuring me they were in the wrong and i would just be coming to collect my car and they would be hearing from lawyer in due course. Think they took the bate cos five mins later they phoned to say the sales manager would replace the whole lot

Oh the joys, happy days

I have been through pettiness of people with their rumors, gossip and trouble before...thats why I now keep people at arms length and only tell those who I choose to tell. People who cause trouble obviously don't have a life or are unhappy in themselves, they have the problem!!!

Glad to hear the car situation has been sorted out. You sound similar to me, if anything can go wrong, it will , something so simple is never simple . Its good to hear that your Dad was able to help you out . I can imagine how stressful the situation was, I don't like dealing with things like that. My DH does all that for me now, he has taken a huge stress off my shoulders.

I hope your belly button is ok, good idea to keep an eye on it. At this stage all is healing up well here. How are your stitches going?

I still don't know exactly when I am going back to work. So far I have planned for next week...see how I am feeling. I am just worried about the lifting side of things. Did they say to you how long after the op to not lift anything heavy?

Hope your day is better today than the last couple

Cupcake Queen, all the best with the laparoscopy today, my thoughts are with you . I am sure everything will work out ok, think of it as one step closer to reaching your end result... a !!! Hope to hear from you soon

Well had a good day today, yipee, how's you?

Well fingers crossed cars okay, to pick it up tommorrow afternoon. Normally DH deals with all these things, in the beginning he was but gets quite flustered on the phone so i spoke when it was getting out of hand. I'm leaving him to do the talking tommorrow when we collect car cos gonna ask to speak to manager and voice our opinion on the whole situation cos we only dealt with the girl at service/repair desk and i felt sorry for her.

Stitches still there. Not to sure bout lifting things after op!!! If i go back for my one shift next week i won't be doing any lifting or turning cos not putting my self at risk. Play it by ear and see how your feeling next week?

Big

Thinking of you today Cupcake Queen, hope your doing okay

Hi Ladies!

Awww....thanks so much for your well wishes - that was really nice!!

Everything went well yesterday - still sore and stuff as to be expected - pain less than I thought - they didn't give me any strong pain killers to take home - just have to take normal paracetemol.

So the outcome is my tubes aren't blocked!!!!! Yipee! Can't tell you guys how much this is a relief, given they did think I had scarring from m/c last year. They did remove some endometriosis from front of uterus I think and then a cyst in the uterus which I think was no big deal. The doctor was telling me all this just after I came out of surgery and was all light headed and out of it!! But I was trying really hard to remember everything she said, so I could tell DH later.

I have an appointment with her on Monday and I guess we will go through it all again. BUt she seemed pretty happy that nothing major was wrong which is such a relief. As I started Clomid recently she told me there were 3 follicles there! But this month I think is out as there is no for 2 weeks.

Sorry to hear Caz that you have had a bad time of late. You just have to sometimes let people's comments just go - most of the time they don't mean it or don't realise how insensitive they are being.

I have had everyone at work wanting to know what I was taking time off and I just kept saying 'health issues' - I know that they will gossip regardless, so no point giving them too much to go on! MY close friend at work knows though.

Also I am not sure if I mentioned that a friend of mine who has a 1 y.old is pregnant again and she didn't want to be and she told me she didn't mind if she miscarried as it wasn't planned etc. She told me all this the day my doc told me about my potential issues (blocked tubes, endo etc) and it was the most rotten day. Anyways, turns out she did m/c poor thing I hope she is ok. Having had gone through that I get really put out when people say 'oh it's only a m/c' because it's a pretty awful thing to go through and now she has gone through this with no medical intervention (she's a bit alternate and just went to the acupuncturist for treatment!). She's going through the blaming herself stage so I should probably give her a call.

Speaking of acupuncturist, I have found a good one that deals with women's issues and will look at going to see him when I've healed up a bit.


Well that's all my news for the moment! Thanks again for your well wishes and for thinking of me.

Hi cupcake queen glad to hear your doing okay and results sound better than you had expected. Paracetamol not really much hope your not too sore, i took tylex (co-codamol 30/500) for first four days and really needed them especially when the bruising started coming out.

Thats great to hear that you've 3 large follicles after clomid, fingers crossed for next month then. Hopefully you'll find out more on monday.

I'm doing okay just letting comments go over my head. I never told anyone at work why i was off so they've just decided to make up their own reasons

I've been looking into accupuncture too, hopefully going to start it on my next cycle when we return from our holiday. Worth a try!!!!

Sorry to hear about your friend, that seems a rather strange comment for her to make about not minding if she miscarries especially when she's knows you've been thru it. Big for you, can't be easy hearing that.

Well rest up and hope your okay
