The rat smacketeers are brooking no argument!! All for one BFP and one BFP for all!

That's great news Far everything is going to go to plan, we are brookers remember?

Excellent news Far Keep positive and look after yourself.

OMG Far well done on that BFP. You are not a freak at all my lovely, I think Biscuits has summed it up perfectly as usual after everything you've experienced this was always going to be really stressful for you. You have done absolutely everything you can to keep MiniFar safe. Good luck for later with the clexane injections. Don't worry about work today. Lots of hugs and brooking for you.

Imps is it weird that I'm totally looking forward to your celebratory gymnastics for my BFP?!

Green so sorry about that bitch AF. How's your work going? I'm really really hating my work at the moment. Its been awful for a few weeks. I got home two hours late from my shift last night and had a little cry. So many people were downright nasty about waiting. No matter how many times I apologised I was treated regularly to a torrent of abuse. I was "caught" by a parent sat down doing paperwork AFTER my shift ended who said I was disgusting and lazy sat on my fat arse while her daughter was waiting to see a doctor. AARRGGGHH!!!! I hate my job! Sorry for the rant, I feel much better now I've got no one to whinge to as I haven't seen DH in 2 days due to shifts.

Bean so sorry about the sechs fail. Been there, done that and bought the t shirt I was really worried that the CBFM would have that affect on my DH as we have had issues before. Luckily this month we didnt but it's always something I worry about when rat smacking season starts. As you did it on the highs you are still in with a good chance.

Btw not that I'm symptom spotting at all but I have sensitive/itchy nipples

[i am dragon baby yay! I'm not lucky tho boo]
[goes back to working, honest guv]

Far glad it went so well at the hospital and that they've got you going on the treatment too

Sounds like the nurse is a brooker too with that positive attitude .

Do you have to do the jabs yourself from tomorrow? Is it an every day thing right through the pg? Have you gone private for this treatment or is it NHS? I think I should remember this but I can't. Sorry!

I'm pretty sure I'd have enough fat to pinch though at 35 weeks .

PS - my boobs didn't hurt until I was about 5 weeks, whereas often they hurt in my luteal phase, so I don't think it means anything at all :)

Ohhh far it's a big deal, apparently, the year of the dragon! Dragon babies are super lucky the BBC News said so, so it must be true and in China there is a massive baby boom to the point where MW units don't have enough beds.

Thank you for all your brooking and crossing!! Love the fact you are all on SWI week and will be joining me in approx 2 weeks :)

Just back from St Mary's, first jab done (ouch), lovely Chinese nurse there said I will be able to do it in the tummy until 30 weeks and then will have to move to the legs as there won't be enough fat to pinch. When I said, well yes if I get that far she gave me a stern talking to about being positive and said 'You will get your dragon baby'. So there you go

bean I can concur, no need to use it once you have received your peak. You will automatically a 2nd peak day and then a high regardless so save your sticks! It keeps count regardless and starts to flash with an m when it thinks your period might be due and then you can laugh in its face when it does not!

Am definitely going to take it easy now.
p.s. should I be worried that my boobs don;t hurt anymore? Wibble

far

Am in office today so can't stop but just jumped in to say WELL DONE far am bloody crossing everything [also not legs as imps although I'm not sure we're meant to be SWIing this week, we are anyway lol]

catch up laterz all

Ta Popster xxx

It will keep counting without you switching it on and off :)

Oh ok. But switch it on every morning so it knows where it's at yes?

bean you don't need to use any sticks at all, now, really, as it's already confirmed ovulation - just ignore it til your next cycle which won't come

Oh Far that is fantastic news. I have everything crossed for you too (though like 8Imps*, not my legs). I know it is easy to say, but try not to panic. You are not a freak at all. Can you take it easy today? Keep us updated on the hospital appointment

Thanks Pop Yes - I never really did tell him until this time. I think the CBFM sort of puts us under pressure, but then ov stix did too. And then I've tried a few months without either just every other day SWI... Nothing has been working, but then we're still in the early days of booze-free/acupuncutred DP so I don't think Feb was really going to be our month anyway.

No need to be despondent, you're right.

Oh and can I use old stix in my CBFM now I'm on second peak?

Far - good luck today and at 6-week scan. Try to focus on other stuff too, plus a bit of meditation and TLC - impossible I know. xxx

I kept mine on my mantlepiece for 2 days
I'm so chuffed for you far. :o

Sorry to hear of the sex fail bean - I think not telling him about your cycle is a winning strategy imho. Men do tend to get a bit freaked out by these things ? DH is another one that would never admit there could possibly be anything wrong with his swimmers

Far you're not a freak and you have done everything you can to give this bean a great chance of success. Don't worry about work today - get yourself down to the hospital, start the treatment and we are all brooking for you, which must count for something.

thank you for all your brooking, I am trying to be positive and calm not least to give this little bean a chance. Consultant emailed back straight away (well his PA) and said I need to start them straight away and to go into st mary's today and a nurse will show me. They will also book me in for a 6 week scan to check its in the right place. Just waiting for a time, I am going to get no work done today i can tell. I keep pulling out the FR (which is in my make up bag) to check its still positive

bean I do think that is definitely the right strategy, I think this affects them more than they like to agknowledge. I know I would find it hard to have an orgasm on demand but its sooooo frustrating for us. I still think you are in with a great chance this month

Oh my goodness Far that's great news! I completely understand you feeling scared and I hope your knight in shining armour consultant rushes in with some help and reassurance.

I am on mega brooking for you that it will be third time lucky indeed.

I know it seems scary (indeed it is acary!) but you won't get a baby without going through these early days - iyswim. So we've got to get through these early days and we're here to hold your hand every step of the way. And of course you know you've caught the BFP as soon as you could have done.

Oh good luck my lovely xx

Green so sorry re AF and the cramps. I hope she is just saying goodbye in a heartfelt way before she buggers off and leaves you alone for 9 months.

Imps thanks for the reminder re boob theorem.

Bean sorry about the sex fail and falling out - it is stressful, but you are definitely still in with a chance this month, so try not to feel despondent.

Far that is great news! Try to enjoy the feeling that you are pregnant and do all the treatment you have to do and most importantly of all - rest and look after yourself.

Far - it must be so scary after your losses, but I really do think you will get a sticky one this time. Get a medical arsenal in support and keep positive. I REALLY hope this is it for you. We are brooking like billio.

Thanks re commiserations. Poor DP was upset because I was. I really only feel like there are two days each month that will really work for us given my age and his lazy wrigglers. But you're right - and thanks for sharing - maybe the high will do it.

We have agreed not to let on when the 'right time' comes along, so he doesn't get stage fright.

TTFN everyone.

Far!!! That's amazing news!!
I was cramping when I got my BFP too (still am infact) and the GP said it was pretty normal and not to worry unless you spot. Fx the consultant gets back to you soon :o
