Seated, waiting for the messenger to bring news from the quest. Hope it went well for you Maybe.

SweetieDoesIt · 27/09/2012 10:21

Maybe pup is doing really well. We start puppy classes on Saturday so that should be fun. Walks are a funny as we get stopped every 5 steps by people wanting to pat her, am a bit Shock by the number of people who just pick her up

NoMaybeAboutIt · 27/09/2012 09:51

Thanks Sweetie. How is that gorgeous pup doing?

You're welcome Keep!

SweetieDoesIt · 27/09/2012 09:35

Just back from walking pup, cup of tea in hand and a couple of jammie dodgers

maybe good luck at your appointment, I will be thinking of you. Hope you get all the answers you need.

boo congrats on now being a mwepp - that is the way to go.

keep my mil recommended The Execution by Sharon cramer, she loved it but I have not got around to it yet myself still about 50 downloads to work my way through

keepitgoing · 27/09/2012 09:11

Thanks maybe i'll give them a go!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 27/09/2012 08:09

Thanks Biscuits how you getting on lovely?

Geek hopefully we can be cycle buddies Smile

Keep afterwards by Rosamund Lupton is fantastic. I love a mystery though, But I won't recommend any of those. Did you watch Luther in the UK? The first Luther novel is amazing. I also love love CJ Sansom. His Shardlake series is one of my faves. But I love historic novels. Also loved the Pillars of the Earth. Any good?! Appointment is at 12.50

Geeklette · 27/09/2012 07:50

Morning all!

Brooking for maybe's appointment today, fx your knight in shining lab coat can give you some proper answers. A September baby would be nice, because that's when I've decided I'm having mine Grin

solars ooh you're onto the stims already! That last week has just flown by (though possibly not for you Confused ) Brooking that they do their job and you see lots of follies at your scan.

beedle yes, definitely jealous of your holiday. Hot and sunny it ain't, here!

Looking forward to my week off at the end of October, we have decided to keep our original holiday dates as it is likely to be at least a couple of cycles before we are cleared for IVF. I imagine they will insist on some recovery time following my op (whenever that may be) so I'm brooking for an early op date, and a December/January cycle. Ironically, it looks very likely that the go-live date for my new software will be moved back again, with January being the most likely date. Work are going to be convinced I'm making things up, moving my dates to coincide with go-live each time!!!

Right, time to get ready for work

Biscuitsandtea · 27/09/2012 07:35

Stuns? Stims I mean Confused

Biscuitsandtea · 27/09/2012 07:35

Just wanted to wish you good luck today Maybe

Also wanted to say I'm brooking hard for you all. Sorry to see of your bfn Sweetie Sad. Hope you are being well looked after xx

Scarlet sorry the stuns didn't work - am keeping my fingers crossed that they've made that one egg a super golden egg in any case.

Solars hope the stimming is going ok for you xx

keepitgoing · 27/09/2012 07:33

most things, maybe, not really sci-fi or mystery ones though. All recommendations welcome. What time's the appointment?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 27/09/2012 07:20

Morning all. You lot are great.

Thank you Keep yes, a nice little september baby will do me nicely. You'd better brush up on your thai, as your booking in will definitely be there. Yes, what sort of books do you like? I'm always reading.

Beedle thanks lovely. Where are you hollibobbing? I'm most jealous.

Scarlett thanks so much lovely. Hope you're doing ok.

Hope the first stim went well Solars

Right, must get up to take the pup out. But its cold. I shall brew tea for all

BeedleTheBard · 27/09/2012 07:09

scarlett I'm so sorry that the stims haven't done their job, but it sounds like you have a plan so hopefully it will work next time

maybe good luck for today

keep tell us what sort of books you like, or go into the adult fiction area (it doesn't mean porn :o ) I've read a few good books that have been recommended there

Well we are on holiday now and I won't make you all jealous by telling you how lovely and hot and sunny it is here and I'll post now before the slightly dodgy internet connection gets the better of me

ScarlettInSpace · 27/09/2012 07:01

Brooking for maybe's scan today, fx you get some answers x

OP posts:
keepitgoing · 27/09/2012 03:07

morning all, as usual i am here to lead the brooking charge, and today maybe's top of the list. Brooking that your knight-in-shing-armour consultant will find sperm and prove all other tests wrong. Or that he'll whizz you into top-class icsi before christmas. Either way, baby by next summer please, Mr consultant.

solars that's brilliant news, and i hope that the first injection went ok. So it's about a week until your scan? Talking about yoga, here there's a trend for 'hot yoga'. I kid you not. They close all windows and crank up the heat until it's nigh on 40 degrees, then you sweat your way through an hour. at the end when they open the windows and let in the muggy stinky bangkok air it apparently feels like blessed relief... No, i've not tried that yet!! Poss once we're a little more acclimatised...

boo - so pleased for you!! Well done. What do they actually do at those appointments?

Princesslovelyboo · 26/09/2012 22:16

Buff and polish, buff and polish, pack the provisions, tack the horses, the quest begins at sun up!!!!! (Or what ever time Maybe has her appointment)

Geek sending virtual energy drinks for you and Mr g Grin Wink

Cheery wave to all brooker's

I am officially an mwepp :) had my booking in today.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 26/09/2012 19:17

Geek lovely, I'm so sorry, I managed to miss your message!! Thank you so much. I will remember to breathe. After all, can't have me passing out and making a fool of myself can we Wink

NoMaybeAboutIt · 26/09/2012 18:47
Princesslovelyboo · 26/09/2012 18:05

Brooking for your appointment tomorrow Maybe I hope you and Mr m start to get the answers you need.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 26/09/2012 15:40

Oh Solars that's great news. I am brroking like billy-o for you x

Solars · 26/09/2012 15:30

Keep there is a website of the pharmaceutical company which has a video on it so hopefully I should be ok, otherwise I may be referring to Sweetie the clinic. If it is very hot & humid there then I can understand you fainting, when we were in Darwin I fainted at my first yoga class, you would have thought they would hold a class in a nice air conditioned building, but no it was just a hall with a couple of ceiling fans and the doors wide open to circulate the hot air! But do take care of yourself in the heat!

Sweetie sorry about bfn. I can totally understand the wanting to step away from ttc for a while after this experience, for one fleeting moment when they were talking about postponing my cycle I felt a sudden relief of not having to continue and if this cycle doesn't work for us then I think we will be having a break too. But as you said one step at a time and getting feedback from your clinic and having a realistic discussion with them will all help you both make the decisions of where you go from here. In terms of AMH I personally don't think I would go for it as correct me if I'm wrong but it can't tell you the quality of your eggs can it? But if it is going to help you make a decision of taking a certain route then perhaps do it, but get lots of advice, the thread sounds like a good starting place. Also I'm on 300 units of menopur.

Waves to Gen hope all is well with you?

Maybe try not to stress too much just yet, brooking all will go well tomorrow. I have indeed just had a call from the clinic and I have down regulated and wil be able to start on the stims tonight! My next appointment is on 5th October! Lots of brooking please.

Geek poor you and MrGeek with your long cycles, yes if your appointment was only last week then waiting to chase up next week is fine.

Still brooking for you Scarlet

CruCru · 26/09/2012 14:26

Sorry, am on holiday, just popped in. So sorry to hear your news Sweetie and Scarlett. Be kind to yourselves and take things easily. Also - Sweetie, are you in London? I went to CRGH who were great. If you're looking at another clinic it might be worth seeing them.

Geeklette · 26/09/2012 13:23

scarlett you poor, poor thing - and after all you went through with the down regs, too. It is excellent news that this won't count as your free go though. Brooking that this gives you a super strong chance for a natural cycle, and you won't need to go through this all again.

sweetie I'm sorry about the BFN, but I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. I hope your appointment gives you some answers. I can't really advise about the AMH, I was very glad to have mine done but as much as anything I think that's because it gave me an answer. If you think there is a chance it will make you feel worse, as in another number to compare yourself against, then it may not be worth it. I think it's more important if you are in the unexplained category and desperate for an answer.

Keep I think you said you're about 8dpo now? Well done, and brooking that AF stays away.

maybe, good luck for your appointment tomorrow, please try not to worry too much about it says the pot to the kettle . Breathe in, breathe out... breathe in, breathe out

NoMaybeAboutIt · 26/09/2012 12:21

Oh Sweetie I am so sorry about the BFN. I hope you get lots of answers tomorrow.

How are you feeling Solars? Did the phone call come yet?

Gen lovely, how are you? Its our appointment tomorrow, thank you for checking. Am feeling sick with nerves. Think it is more as I don't know what to expect from the appointment.

Hope you are feeling better Keep

GenericDietCola · 26/09/2012 10:59

Scarlett sorry you are feeling down, but good that you are seeing some positives and hopefully one follie = one golden egg = one baby. Brooking.

Solars, glad to hear your scan went well and brooking for the stims!

Still brooking for everyone else of course. Was it Maybe's appointment today?

SweetieDoesIt · 26/09/2012 10:40

keep I think that is good advice, I will create a thread on AMH and see what others say. Look at I think it was Smegs who had low results and then got her BFP. So is it just another number we are compared against that really doesn't mean much???

Glad you are ok, I suppose you are just getting used to the massive difference in everything.
