Brooking No Argument that we'll get BFPs from our Easter Eggs

Well, not once it's in you, mwah ha ha

Well done on starting. Woo hoo! Was it OK? Weird to sniff, did you feel like a druggie? I did with all my needles.

Scan this morning was fab, baby was dancing for us. Nothing now till 13+1, in 3.5 weeks, Argh!

I didn't realise it was so serious or carries such risk. I will check out the nhs web site too

I really wouldn't risk it sweetie, if you look at the nhs website, it says 22% chance of miscarriage if get listeriosis in pregnancy. Can also get it from pre packed sarnies and other things listed on there. I know it's slim chances of getting it, but I know I'd have never forgiven myself, and I didn't have to go through what you did to get pregnant. You can treat yourself to plenty after your babies arrive ;)

omg loopy I really will have to avoid them

omg really? i knew about not having it from icecream vans but wouldn't have thought that burger kings and macdonalds!

Nor the McDonald's/burger king milk shakes....

Just a quickie re mcflurries, listeria can be v serious, and having worked in that industry in my youth, the machines at McDonald's and Burger King do not get washed as often as they should be, as they are a pain to take apart and reassemble and lubricate. I never risked it in my pregnancies, nor rare steak, nor dippy eggs.

geek will be thinking of you thursday

sweetie so excited for for 7 week scan

Suppose I should start packing for my hol but I'm just sat here chatting away on mn!!!!

geek that's brill - Thursday! :)

solars did you sneak in some swi at the weekend?

I think MCD flurry is prob OK, it's more the dodgy ice cream vans that don't clean their Mr whippy pipes. But nothing says it's OK for preggos, just consult your doctor. Anthisan, ffs...

No solars there are no other jobs to apply for. :( It's done in big national recruitment rounds. There's meant to be a second one but I can't see why they won't fill the pitifully few jobs this round. A month is the latest, so I'm brooking for asap.

Geek great news on the scan, you will be starting before you know it

Solars I am not sure I believe there is anything bad about a McFlurry I don't have many, but they are my guilty pleasure. I am sure I will be ok for the odd one, but I might wait until I am a bit further along just in case.

Beedle good luck with the down regging, drink plenty of water and eat loads of protein for good quality eggs. I am not sure how I would feel about sniffing, think I would prefer to jab.

boo are you still bouncing? Hope today isn't dragging for you my dear. 8pm will be here before you know it, shortly followed by booby

I have rung the clinic and told them the news, they have booked me for a scan when I am exactly 7 weeks. I am excited and nervous about it already I just hope there is something for them to see They said to wait for the scan before contacting my GP. Also keep I was really brave only cos it was over the phone and asked about SFF [blus] She said it is ok but take it steady and it is normal to get a bit of spotting afterwards as the cervix is more delicate now.

Everybody, new born snuggles were indeed adorable and twice she fell asleep in my arms until she was ready for a feed upon which she scrunched up her face and wailed!! She was also very comfortable with DH Just made us want one even more!!

Geek well done on getting your appointment on Thursday, brooking all will be well ovaries wise.

Good luck with sniffing tomorrow Beedle

Good luck to sneezing tonight Boo

Good luck to scanning tomorrow Keep I too can't believe you have to wait a month to hear about the job. Is your DH applying for more in the meantime?

Kitty I didn't see that thread but is it to do with low amh? We have our own brooking miracles in that department with Smegs right?

Sweetie what's this about no whippy ice cream? [wail] really? Will you get booked in for an early scan? further blood tests today?

Cups your friend sounds adorable

I ovulated at the weekend so have my final blood test on Thursday at the clinic.

boo lovely, you'd best go back to bed for a snooze if your induction's at 8pm - you are likely to have a very busy night ahead of you! Brooking that all goes swimmingly and you have a fabulous sneeze birth (or enssze birth as I just tried to type!)

beedle oooh yay!! Definitely brooking to start around then in that case. It would be fab to have a cycle buddy. I've never had a cycle buddy for anything before, because mine were so long! How are you finding the downregging?

sweetie yes, can't wait to hear what your next steps are once you've told your clinic.

Ooh Geek this Thursday? That's brilliant I am going to brook now for your ovies, I may be a little busy on Thursday Today is the day, well specifically tonight is the night, I'm booked on to the delivery suite at 8pm (I don't know why so late either) and I am absolutely petrified right now

Can't believe you can be starting your first cycle so soon :) I'm brooking with everything I have that you do start it in May.

solars hope you had lovely newborn snuggles :)

keep well done on getting DH back. That's a long time to wait for interview results though. Brooking he gets it. Good luck with your scan, the weeks have flown by, it seems - though it probably doesn't feel like it for you!

sweetie glad the not drinking wasn't an issue. There are lots of reasons why people can't drink or choose not to on a night out, I hate that everyone jumps to the pg conclusion (even though in your case it's the right one ) Black pudding scotch eggs sound amazing!

aww cups that's so lovely of your friend. Brooking like crazy that you get accepted on your next cycle. Even knowing that they won't refuse you on your third, it's still a horrible up and down ride they put you through.

boo is today the day?????

Well, I got my scan date - 2pm this Thursday! I should find out there and then whether the operation was a success in terms of location/accessibility of my ovaries. Providing it was, I should be good to go on my next cycle which I'm hoping will be around 18-20 May. Wow. How fast things move when you finally get going

solars how were the newborn snuggles? I seem to be absolutely cool about babies, its the 'pregnancy' thing that upsets me for some reason

has anyone seen the amh result thread?

cup your friend sounds lovely. just what you need a girls afternoon. brooking that you will start this cycle too.
I proper luff creme egg mcflurries, not sure i can give them up. I mean I have never heard of anyone getting poorly from a mcflurry

Solars hope you have lots of nice newborn cuddles with your niece

Ooh Keep how many weeks will you be at the scan? I can't believe MrKeep has to wait a month to find out.

Sweetie I have no idea what you can & can't have when preggo. Although I did have a cream egg mcflurry yesterday & thought of you! I had no idea that whippy ice cream was a no no until I saw it on the Brookers FB page.

Geek great appointment, fingers crossed you get in for the next cycle.

Maybe it's lovely to have you back.

I really hope I get accepted after this AF as I want to be in the may/june assisted brooking gang!

I had a lovely day out yesterday with my friend. She gave me a lovely card and a little gift to cheer me up as she knows I've been feeling down. I nearly cried and I'm not a crier.

Solars enjoy those newborn snuggles

Keep enjoy your reunion with DH snuggles

Bullets I agree with you that this TTC lark is just a life lottery, no one can help the circumstances they find themselves in. It is just the luck of the draw.

Geek sounds like the appointment went really well, brooking that you get an appointment this week. But it sounds like your treatment is just around the corner.

We had a lovely time last night, the not drinking wasn't an issue in the end as the other lady wasn't drinking either I didn't say anything to her and she didn't say anything to me so who knows. I did have a bit of a dilemma over the food though, I should have checked before I went what preggos have to avoid. So I skipped the calimari I was gutted as luffs seafood and the black pudding scotch eggs. I checked when I got home and could have had both but better safe than sorry. I did have serrano ham though, I forgot to check that!!

No, it could take up to a month for them to let us know, apparently... Grr.
I have a scan on Tuesday - excited and nervous! Have my list of stuff the NHS do at this stage to demand as well.

Hey Keep Awww I love reunions at the airport, heard anything about the job yet? yep things a little easier now niece is born. When's your next scan btw?
