Just checking in with happy news! Both of my biopsies came back completely benign. Yay! Amazing how one phone call can change a person's outlook...

Congrats on the fabulous news!!!

Wonderful news. You must be dancing on air today.

Thanks! This dermatologist is fantastic with spotting early melanoma, so when she did two biopsies on me that I had thought were normal pregnancy-related changes, plus said "I don't like that" with one of them, panic set in. I've heard her say that with someone else previously, and her instincts were correct with them. Rather be safe than sorry and biopsy anything that even looks remotely suspicious!! But I just don't like waiting game, thinking "what if...", and looking at my two young daughters worrying.

Positive thoughts.

great news about the all clear, at least you can concentrate on other things now and start looking forward to our cruise!

Yep! And I just found some Disney princess pj's for the girls on clearance... so they have matching pj's if they grow according to the sizes at that point in time.

All the best. I hope it is a yes! Such a pain having to wait though.

OK everyone. It is 12 days since I sent a PM to Carys about her being on this cruise and I haven't had a reply yet. Could be she is a lurker or not on the board much, but I wonder if really a thread needs someone up there who is on a lot of the time, keeping things up to date, keeping us excited about the cruise etc.

Now Karen(Karentan) has offered to be a thread leader if and when we think it a good idea and start a completely new thread too.

What do you all think, do you think now is the time? When you think Carys hasn't posted on here since March, nor updated page 1 with new people since then I think there are a few who would like to get things moving again.

I know Karen has been through the thread and taken a note of names of people. We have managed to remove a few who we have found out aren't on this cruise any more, and we could send PM's to others on the list to try and get some confirmation.

Any input from anyone?

I think it would be a very good idea.

I don't write very much in this thread since we're not 100 % sure that we can go.
We had hoped that we could bring along a little new baby, but thats not the case We have gone through several IVFs with no luck. I have just had an operation that hopefully will help us, but if I get pregnant now, we can't go in September.

So I will not know until about Christmas time if we're going or not. But I really enjoy reading this thread and love that more people write now as we're getting closer.

Well I really hope things work out well for you. It must be so heartbreaking, particularly having gone through several IVF's. I would think the stress related to that would be awful each time it is unsuccesful.

All the best to you both.

 

[karentan]

all the best christina, i'm sure not going on the cruise will be an amazing trade off if you end up with a baby at the end of it all

i'm more than happy to start the new thread and keep it updated, but if its ok with everyone i'll wait til next week before i start it, as i'm still waiting to hear from my boss if i'm actually allowed the three weeks off or not..... i dont want to start a new one then have to leave again


ETA: i've just checked carys's profile and she hasnt been on the dis since the 10th october, maybe she's on holiday? but her last post was coming up for 2 months ago, and the one before that was in march?!

I'm all for starting a new thread. I know how important the first page is as this is were all the new people can go to read all the current info without having to sift through hundreds of replies.

I am for a new thread as well. You are very wise to wait until you can go for sure to volunteer as if your plans change it makes it very hard for someone else to pick up the new thread. That is the most basic reason I am not volunteering at this point as I am 40/60 we can go at this point due to DH's job schedule.

 

[Pinky166]

I too am in favour of getting a new thread going, I want to plan!

I don't mind volunteering to do it if you are unable to get the time off Karen, however I hope it won't come to that & you will be able to go on this cruise.

Lots of hugs to you both, I couldn't think of a better reason to have to cancel a cruise! Fingers crossed for you both that your next IVF treatment is sucessful.

Hi Maz, Hi Noel.
I found my way over here - For those who don't know me, I am Hayley.

SO, Let's get this planning started - Noel, you are the master planner of all time, take the lead, please! I want logo's, t-shirts, FE's, lanyards, etc, etc, etc
