Sounds like you are dealing with it really well Rosiefarmer. Being positive makes a huge difference. It is a journey that has it's up and downs. Hopefully it will be your turn to make the big announcement soon and the people around you can celebrate with you instead of you always hearing theirs.

Well, just come home from having dinner with some of my previous 'student' friends and one is pregnant due end March, 4 are preggers at work!
Why is everyone pregnant around me  but not me 
Oh well, roll on Feb for the next IUI so atleast there is something to aim for and be positive about.
On a brighter note, saw not one but two hedgehogs in the driveway, must be a couple cause they were so close 
Thankfully off to the side so didnt have to take out the hedge to avoid them lol
Hope everyone else is doing ok?

Sorry to hear you have all those people around you that are getting pregnant. Not nice when you want it so much and others around and falling like flies, so to speak. Everything is crossed for you with Feb and am trusting you have your great news then.
I'm doing better. Kris, my friend with cancer, is responding to the chemo so that has made a real difference to how we are all coping with it. We are progressing with our baby journey and hoping that it will be soon, as getting over the waiting.

hi all....well ive been surrounded by bellys all weekend and was suprised at how well I coped....we did a pop up shop for our business (wombinbloom) and of course had preggy glowing beautiful mums to be in store all weekend long....I had a bit of an ache at one point but just got on with it....I guess I am at that point at the moment....hard to see all the bellys and bubs and not just have to cope!
Not to mention explaining how boobies are going to explode and how nicely a t shirt will fit on a bump etc....!!!
at moment I am just getting on with looking forward to xmas and baking myself in the sun....etc....then onto IUI next year...we are thinking Feb is the start (Jan is a busy month with family here from USA etc)..and have fingers crossed for a BFP then....but in meantime I truly hope to see some of you get BFPs!!!!

well we got the results of the eggie tests...and I am a 80% success rate for IVF and am in the "green" area (and not just!) for egg supply, so looks all good.
saw doctor today and he thinks my body is still ovulating and releasing multiple eggs - damn just wish we could hit them!!! 
IUI here we come in February!!! we hope....

Quick update - DH been off medication for 3 weeks and hasnt been coping too good, so rang FA and we on our way up to do a sperm assesment and freeze them if all is good, next week. Clinic closes till start of Feb so back up there again for another sperm assesment and freeze then they will know what they going to do with me, IUI or IVF, finally something is in action. Hope everyone has a great xmas.

Rosiefarmer - no good that DH has not been coping well without the meds. Good that you can do sperm assessment with FA and hopefully get things sorted there. All the best with whichever you do, IUI or IVF. Bring on the BFP for you!!!!
I'm still ticking along with the fertility clinic. It's going well so hopefully all will fall into place for us soon and this long journey can be over and see us into the next phase.

Hi Tal, Thanks.
It sure is a long Journey, some days it really feels like BFP will never happen. We try to stay positive but when you keep getting "your turn is next" from family it hurts, 2 of DH's neices are preggers and they reckon I am going to be next. Come on give us a break and let us get there without extra pressure, dont they think we put ourselves through enough without their remarks. I have been trying to get pregnant for 14 years....hasnt happened naturally so hopefully now that the ball has finally started rolling we might get there. It sure is a long process and even longer when you decide to go public...
I got really upset when they blamed DH's medication - hello I was infertile before I got together with DH as I have been through fertility treatment with my previous relationship.
Ohh and my so called BF has a lovely set of twins which I looked after in the weekend (9 months old) and all she kept saying was they will turn you off wanting a baby - my coment was my 16 yr old hasnt turned me off, why would your awesome cute babies turn me off. Arghhhh and if she was the friend she says she is I think she should of rang me by now to see how the hell I was, as it was pretty hard watching those babies go home a real friend would of seen that I was upset when they went home.
My grumble for the day, been on my mind all week...

Oh, Rosiefarmer I am so sorry that family and friends are making this journey harder on you. It can be so heartbreaking when the people you care about make comments that cut deep. I have had plenty of that myself, so understand. Hope they start being more sensitive and supporting you in this. All the best with this next step, fingers crossed it's that boost you need to make it happen. I admire you for sticking in at 14 years, I don't know how you do it, over 5 years is more than enough for me.

It hasnt been easy thats for sure. I have had some time that I just didnt bother tracking as life just wasnt going right for me. Now that I am with a awsome guy, I/we really want this now, he deserves to be a dad, he is great with my 16 yr old and his families kids. I am giving myslef 2 more years then its over for me.
Just think that his family dont quite get it, they make these little coments yet they dont realise how much it hurts...one day I will more than likely just snap back, but hopefully wont as they have been awesome to me. Suppose they think they are been supportive.
I find these forums great to read, everyone here is going through the same. Always good to hear when people get their BFP.

Sorry I haven't been back on in ages, nothing was happening and it was getting me down...felt like I was stagnating so I was staying away from all things TTC related.
We are starting the DI this month YAY!!!
Today is my last day of drinking, I have a glass of lovely wine with me as I speak haha
Just got back from my holiday to Adelaide, was great catching up with family and friends! Got to meet my friends baby, am so happy for her cause she was told she would never have kids. He is such a lovely baby, full of smiles and giggles, though I do admit my heart broke a little bit... 
Is it just me or do you all grit your teeth when someone complains about their pregnancy to you? Hahaha I swear TTC is making me slightly deranged
Well, I hope you all had a great Christmas/New Years....hopefully we all get what we wished for this year  here's hoping it's a short wait!

Happy New Year everyone. I hope you all enjoyed your holidays and managed to not be too bombarded with pregnant women and babies (I had 2 4 mth babies in my close proximity for a week - ahhh).
Wishing lots of babydust and the much wanted babies to all of us in 2010.
Take care

I never write on forums but felt it was my duty to do this. Freddie Graham made me feel insignificant, his approach was unprofessional, and he was cruel and insensitive. Read Chicachicas advice. It would seem he has helped a great many people and that is a wonderful issue to take into mind, but I myself will be making sure I never see that awful man again.[:x]
