Bean – I couldn’t believe the stuff about how they do everything themselves, even though they have 2 24 hour nurses. And JLo’s comment that her hubby could teach the nurses a thing or two about nappy changing????

And, while I’m venting, why say you researched the best thing for your babies and decided breast-feeding was not it? Don’t misunderstand my irritation, I believe every mother can choose what they prefer for their baby or themselves- breast or bottle, but don’t talk tripe about having ‘researched’ that formula is best for babies in such a public forum. Make your choice but don’t say it’s the best one for all babies. That too smacked of guilt talking – why not just say ‘Yes, we needed help to conceive- aren’t our babies wonderful? And ‘Yes I found the thought of breast-feeding twins exhausting/intimidating so opted for bottle – it’s working well for us.”
AND! Why tell us about the two 24 hour nurses, while insisting they do everything themselves? Are they paying the nurses to play backgammon?

Jenny from the Block – Humph!
FeeBee – Well done on the book. I really admire your achievement. You must be so proud!

Heh, obviously the rest of us don’t want it enough.

We have been told that when the bloods are up to scratch, which is Prog 60-100 and Oest 400-800, then we can go again. I thought the results were pretty good for first time on the injections, so fingers crossed they will continue to improve. I’d really like to get back to trying asap, I will turn 39 at the end of next month, and I would really like to be a mammy before I’m 40. I never thought in my wildest dreams in my 20’s that I would be leaving it this late, always thought I would be having my first in my early 30’s, but that’s life I suppose.

So we’ll have to wait and see I suppose. Thankfully the phantom pregnancy symptoms have subsided, but now I’m all crabby with AF cramps. If it’s not one thing it’s the other! If I didn’t have an understanding DH I don’t know what I’d do…..I whinge and whinge and he provides the hugs. So at least I’m lucky in that respect

Keep up the good work, congrats again on the book, I’m really looking forward to a good read!

Blood results were quiet good for first cycle. Prog 64.5 (usually was around the 40 mark or less) oest 378 (last month was around 350). Spoke with Dr B on the phone the other day, he said to go with same again next cycle, so no Clomid yet. Happy with that, would like to avoid taking Clomid if possible.

The strange thing with the HCG injections is I have been having fake pregnancy symptoms all week. Really sore bigger boobs, (and I’m a C to D cup as it is, ouch!!), bloated belly, slightly icky tummy, tiredness, difficulty concentrating etc. I’m 99.9% sure I am not pregnant, as we were very careful around ov time, so this is really bugging me! I could put up with it if it was the real thing! Maybe it’s all in my hormonal head :0)

Sorry to hear about Rupert, as a cat person I know how it is

Any scans in the near future? You must be getting near your EDD soon, so exciting!
