Fireworks, bonfires and long winters' eves will herald the Rat Smacketeers' BFPs this month and we are Brooking No Argument!

[Shrieklette]

Welcome to our new humble abode for the next six weeks or so, Brookers!

Here's hoping this fred will be as lucky as sparks' and scarlett's [hgrin]

Boo!

Oh it is fabulous here [hsmile] thank you Shriek

Marking my places ladies, brooking for a super successful Fred!!! Oh and loving the name!!!

Lovely new thread Shriek. Am out shopping but will bob back later as I have some exciting news (not a BFP I'm afraid )

Am loving this shriek

Exciting news Cup? I canny wait.

Hi the news is I think we have been accepted for IVF. I received a letter this morning from my pct saying my referral (it doesn't say what the referral was for) has been processed and i need to make an appointment at the infertility clinic at St Mary's in Manchester. That is all the information I have so I'm being cautiously optimistic. BUT there is no other reason for them to see us as it is not my local hospital & I would only expect to go there for IVF. I'm trying not to get too excited.

OOH Cups that does sound promising!! [hsmile]

Shriek you have made a very good thread here, look what has happened and this is just day 1 [hgrin]

Ooooooooh cup that sounds so promising

Thanks I'm brooking no argument that it is a referral for IVF. Anyway I won't need it as I'll be getting my ironic BFP before my appointment

How are you doing today Solars?

Ooh cups exciting days ahead! I can't think what else it could mean, so brooking for you x

This place looks very cosy Shriek

Cups that definitely sounds like your ivf referral! Hoping it sparks into action the ironic BFP! [hwink] I'm surprisinglydoing ok thanks, just want AF to hurry up and arrive so it officially marks the end of this cycle. I'm looking forward to just kicking back and relaxing over the next few months as we decide our next steps.

Sorry about bfn too Beedle hope you're ok and enjoying parents being over.

Sweetie we have a week off next week, which I'm really looking forward to! Glad that AF has arrived for you. Is your appointment at the clinic imminent? How are you feeling about everything now?

Got to dash, but will be back soon...

My birthday will happen in this thread so I've decided that a whole raft of BFPs is what I want as a present

Mine too and I'd like the same. But no scrimping - I want my own bundle of BFPs. I'm not sharing with Jen [hgrin]

12 days to go for mine so is anyone just starting the 2ww?

It's not my birthday but I'd like a bunch of BFPs too, just because

Only 10 until mine so bagsy the first crop

Hi all!! Have been v busy entertaining mummykeep... having a fab time and kkeping my mind off tww a bit af due Friday I think sore boobies, and a bit solid too. Remind me, girls, what is the Law of Boobs?

beedle still hoping for a double whammy week, you just tested too early, with a did pee stick!

solars you rock

cup!!! Brill news on the pointless ivf referral, but good to get it as a back up, I guess...

Sorry for quick post, will do more tomorrow at work

Altogether now:
Time for a

What do we want?
positive pee sticks!

When do we want them?
NOW!!!!

Urgh, I have imp-itis.

keeps law of boob says,
Sore boobs = diffed!!!!

Fwiw mine felt heavy just before my BFP and then very quickly went stupidly sore!!!

morning all! hope you've enjoyed your extra hour in bed over the weekend. geek, glad you're still thread-starting despite supposedly being a lurker. We miss you! I'm going to pass on the hot chocolate today, though, as yesterday was 37 degrees!

Thanks sparks, unfortunately I do get sore boobies some months, so am not partic hopeful. Just looking forward to starting treatment in a month or so really! I'm brooking no argument that IUI will be the answer for us.

solars, will you get any more chances on the NHS?

sweetie hope you're ok too, and looking forward to your appointment, which i think is this week.

Am having lots of fun, though do get nervous when i'm at work and mummykeep is going round the city on her own. She seems fine though.

beedle what news your end af-wise? how long are your parents with you, and are you taking time off work? You've been having lots of blood tests, haven't you? Have they shown ov to be ok? Has mrb JIAnotherP yet?

sore boos=diffed
not sore boobs=diffed
AF=diffed
no AF=diffed
two lines = diffed
one line=diffed

just FIND THE RIGHT PEE STICK! And BROOK NO ARGUMENT!!

Keep 37 degrees [henvy] I was freezing this morning!!!

hmmm, it's a little too hot... Don't worry, sparks, by the time winter's there good and proper you'll be pregnant enough to be warm all the time!

I was having night sweats last night so I definitely woke up to 37 degrees until I stepped out of bed :( Brrrr!

Keep we only got the one shot of NHS ivf, we now have to fund ourselves! Sounds like mummyKeep is keeping you busy & distracted! When are you confirming the obvious?

I've been having horrendous cramps since last night and AF arrived in full force this morning so I am feeling happy to move on although this feels like the mother of all AF's

Keep I told my mum yesterday, and then explained that I was going through a bit of a hot flush/cold chill phase, there was a suggestion that maybe it wasnt pregnancy it was in fact menopause

Solars I'm glad AF has kept you waiting round for too long. When will you decide what to do next?
