I'm glad the secretary is helping Geek but I really don't understand why he doesn't have a secretary at the other place, who the hell typed out his letter then?? did he do it himself?? or do you think it's the secretary at the other place you mentioned?

Good to see you Scarlet that would be a lovely a New Year BFP, brooking!

Waves to Gen

By the way DH's GP can only offer a blood test for his issue of antisperm antibodies but not sure what that will achieve! Everyone I've spoken to and read about says a semen analysis is required Hmm We're considering not going for it (as not sure it will prove anything) and just waiting to speak to the clinic we go to next!

BAAAAD AF, how dare you land with two brookers at once (three if you are still with griff you bad bad lady!!!)

scarlet brooking too for your New Year BFP Xmas Grin

Ok, so secretary from alternative hospital started going down the track of 'nothing to do with me, I don't deal with choose & book'. A few tears later, she agreed to speak with my Consultant as apparently he doesn't have a secretary at the clinic where my op will be carried out, and see what she can find out for me. She hopes to call me back by lunch time tomorrow.

What do we want?
POSITIVE PEE STICKS
When do we want them?
NOW!!!! (or in about 10 days' time in my case Xmas Grin )

GenericDietCola · 05/12/2012 15:32

Scarlett how can you fail with a combination of good ovary/good tube/lots of fruit/NYD BFP. I am brooking my ass off.

Solars so sorry re your AF too, but I will continue brooking for you all.

Geek, glad you are being proactive, even though it seems like an uphill struggle. Better to be chasing it all though, even if it means getting frustrated that things aren't being done. If only we brookers were consultants etc. I have often thought about this actually and if I wasn't so old, I would seriously consider going to medical school to become a gynae specialist and help people like us. Maybe my brooking children will choose such a profession - how amazing would that be.

Anyway, I'm down with all the thread filling to get the Christmas brooking thread, but do you think we could just squeeze in one more BFP before the end of this thread? If not, I know we will get a glut of festive BFPs. We are due one and we are BROOKERS and we never quit!!

What do we want?
POSITIVE PEE STICKS
Gimme a B Gimme a F Gimme a P

WoooooHooooo

[shakes pom poms] [stops cos beachballboobs hurt] [runs to toilet for 15th time today cos of cramps] [Stupid AF]

ScarlettsPlantHasTinselHoHoHo · 05/12/2012 15:18

Heellllllooooooooooooooooo brookers!

How are we all? I've been kinda keeping up but am going to be as rude as a potplant with tinsel on can be and not namecheck Xmas Blush

AF landed last night/this morning, this month she's in one hell of a bad mood and passing on the symptoms to me - heavy, crampy, beachballboobs the lot Xmas Sad Oddly my cycles seem to have gone back to 27 days since we had the abandoned IVF cycle in Sept - they went to 30/31 in the 3-4 months leading up to IVF, I've been thinking about it and that coincides with starting Acu [which I haven't had since IVF]. Not sure what to think about that? Any input brookers?

If my ovaries are behaving themselves [and being honest why would they, they didn't manage it under hideous amounts of medical intervention Xmas Hmm ] then this month I will mostly be ovulating from left side [the one with the tube] so I am brooking like billyo [what does that word even actually mean?] that this will be lucky cycle number 24 as AF is not due on 1st January OMAG what a New Years Day THAT would be!

Soooo am feeling like this is my last proper full chance before we go back for IVF review in Jan and probably hop back on the junkie bus in Feb.

I've been on a detox since Monday and am booooooooored of fruit but it's all part of Operation GetFitForIVFAgain so I've got my eye on the prize!

WinterSolstice · 05/12/2012 14:57

No problem at all Geek happy to help! Hope she can help and get things moving for you x

SantasLittleControlGeek · 05/12/2012 14:53
