This thread is the one the Rat Smacketeers all become PSEPP and we are Brooking No Argument this is the case. Fact.

So, I spoke with the fertility nurse, and we should have our appointment in the fertility clinic in two weeks time! Would be next week but my consultant is away. That was very painless.

Am thinking of you lots today Solars x

Maybe I think I forgot to say YAY for Dr wonderful, all sounds very positive! Brooking for your blood test and following BFP [hsmile]

Keep hope your having a fab time with mummy keep, so pleases Mr k got in touch, that's a load off for you. Don't worry about sis, you will be confirming any day now anyway. I brook no argument!

Shriek nice to see you even briefly. Hope your hangover is treating you ok.

Hiya everyone else, lurking or otherwise.

Solars I am so sorry. I was dreaming about you last night and brooking that it would be a BFP. I hope there is still a chance and it just isn't showing up yet.

Maybe, glad that things are moving forwards and hopefully you won't be a carrier for CF. But if you are, there are options.

Keep I totally understand. My (younger) sister announced her pregnancy with her eldest when I had only just met MrGen and we weren't in any position to TTC. I have to admit I was very jealous and upset as I was getting older, recently divorced and generally a bit fed up about how things might work out. Happily, MrGen was the one and we ended up having DD when sis's DS1 was 16 months. Anyway, you are already pregnant my dear. the CM is a brilliant sign. Can't wait for your confirmation.

Ooh Tock I would love a mojito you naughty lady. Making do with a pastry instead - Friday treat!

Brooking for us all.

Thanks Tock. I don't think the CF issue will get in the way. Hope you are well lovely.

Keep I completely missed your mums news whilst rabbiting on about myself it's nice she gave you a heads up, but I am so thinking you'll be preggers before Christmas too

Solars sending you a huge amount of and much, much love. Very very for you and your DH. I really hope that you can spend lots of time together and treat yourselves to whatever it takes. The Brookers are all here for you.

Maybe - you are doing brilliantly. I really hope the CF issue doesn't get in the way and that your BFP is closer than ever.

Keep - v hard to have super-fertile siblings. My brothers were the same but divorced from their wives while I was ageing and failing to be in the right relationship to responsibly have DC. I used to feel q angry about it all too. Your DMa seems helpful in that she has let you know - I imagine it might have been harder coming from sis. Brooking for your BFP.

Brooking for everyone and leaving double-strength mojitos that have to be drunk BEFORE LUNCH. Let's get pissed, it's the only way.

Thanks Smegs

Ah sorry, x-posted.

So sorry Solars . I hope you and. MrSolars are ok. Look after yourselves .

Maybe is that the news you were expecting? I hope the genetic counselling is constructive and you both get the result you want. to you too.

Oh Solars I'm so so sorry. I hope you and MrSolars are ok x

Thank you everyone for all your support. Yesterday's news was totally expected, so we were already prepared for it. I don't know anyone in the family that has CF, but then neither does MrMaybe. I suppose it's just one of those things that you don't know about until something like this happens.

The genetic counselling involves speaking with a geneticist who will go through all the risks involved of going ahead with the IVF knowing one of us is a carrier, i.e. the fact that our children may be carriers etc. I have a 4% chance of being a carrier, so I suppose we wait and see. Am going to be calling the fertility nurse today to sort out the next step!

Solars I am so sorry, big big hugs for you and MrSolars.

Maybe am sorry that Dr Wonderful has confirmed what you thought. It's good that he is still so confident of finding the sperm. How do you feel about the genetic counselling? Do you know anyone in your family who has CF or is a carrier? I hope you don't have to wait too long to get the tests done. Hugs for you and MrMaybe, I know you were sort of expecting this but it's still a lot to work through.

Solars I am so sorry for you & MrS I thought you were looking really good. Hope MrS is looking after you today and you are both getting hugs in RL

oh Solars Im so sorry, but could it be too early? could you just have a lazy egg? doesnt know how these things work

Keep I wouldnt worry about it, I cried when my DSis announced she was diffed for the 2nd time, and we weren't even trying at that point!! I think it was then that I realised just how much I wanted kiddies. And since we did actually start trying I've just assumed that everyone woman of a child bearing age has been TTC, like an all consumming paranoia!!!

So sorry Solars :(

So sorry Solars Big hug from me too. Xx

Solars I'm so sorry

Have a very unMNy hug

oh solars i am so so sorry. I don't know what to say

Really sorry I can't give you any good news from me, but it's a bfn, but thanks for all your support throughout this.

Yes - well the littlest one is - pah! He does have a cold though so I'll let him off [hsmile]

gosh, biscuits you're up early! those boys waking you up?

Good luck Solars

well, solars, the big day. I am here with my pompoms ready for you to wake up. GOOD LUCK, lovely.

maybe gosh, that's odd about the radiologist being wrong the other day. Sorry to hear that mrm is a carrier for CF, but we're all brooking that you won't be! and even if you are there's options. how exciting for you to be starting soon - do you have a date in mind yet! how do you feel about it all?

mrkeep has arrived safely, thanks all. Big blob of creamy cm this morning, i don't normally get much. is this a symptom, brooks like mad.

sweetie sorry that af is still MIA. That's so annoying, hopefully some woo will help bring her back, or, preferably, will coax out that lovely little egg you are surely growing and is perfect to be smacked. on a selfish note that would throw out my schedule for the next year! They should warn you about that.

isn't it awful? i adore my sister and my niece, yet the thought of her being pregnant before me again makes me just want to cry. And i did, last night. oh well, c'est la vie. i guess it's better to be forewarned.

Oh Maybe you sound very positive and as if you're both taking this in your stride. Hugs. I was going to ask the same as Biscuits please to explain the genetic counselling? Is the blood test to check you're not a carrier of cf too? x

Wow that's a lot to take in maybe - hope you're doing ok. May I ask what genetic counselling is?

Lots of hugs coming your way. I think a glass of is called for xxx

Evening all!!

We are back. Seems like the scan man yesterday got it wrong. Mr Maybe is missing both tubes, and he is a carrier for CF. tis ok though, we were expecting it. His hormones were all ok, and again we got the 100% chance of getting sperm. So we now need genetic counselling and a blood test for me, then its IVF. thank you all so much for your amazing brooking x
