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

Beedle that is definitely tempting fate and guaranteeing your BFP fo' sure! By the way I was ok on the downregging although after I got my withdrawal bleed I distinctly felt a change in mood, but I still wasn't that bad. I'm sure you'll be fine. I was told to drink lots of water, helps to get the drugs where they're needed I think.

Kitty how long are your cycles normally?

So I went in for my mid cycle scan today, was a little nervous as it was the first scan I've had since the lap and I'm relieved to say that at least the cyst hasn't come back since its removal. He saw a dominant follicle on the right side which he was saying looked ready to pop soon, 5-6 further follicles were seen on both ovaries which was good. Also called my womb beautiful and I had a great lining! So I was chuffed. My AMH came back as 7.3 which I was surprised as I was expecting something much lower and he said that was really good for my age. I also saw the main consultant Mr T there wandering around which I have said to DH is a good sign or omen so the IVF/ICSI is bound to work. It's quite odd as they hand you your notes as you wait for your scan and so I had a look through mine and they'd written a cause for infertility as endometriosis which has kind of made me feel a bit better about things.

Geek how are you doing?

And Maybe it's lovely to see you around too.

Yes, I think that's normal. BTW I think it's during the downregging that people feel worse, just to prepare you.

Oooh beedle how exciting!!! Are you having to pay for your whole treatment, or just the drugs? And I am most disappointed to hear that MrB is not tall and blonde. You'll be telling us he's not even a Swede next! I had him all pictured complete with blonde moustache

beedle wowee you're starting! Are you doing LP? Are you paying, I thought it was covered...

waves at maybe

geek bummer , you're time will come soon though babs xxx

wish i had a scooby doo where im up to with my cycle! decided not to opk this month and just rely on bbt but its a bit scew-wiff this month! its cd 26 and ive just announced to dh that we're still on an incredibly long shag week. Just don't want to take the risk of missing it!!!

Yay sweetie!

I must confess I peed on a stick a week until my first scan

Sweetie how exciting for you, how are you feeling? Any symptoms?

My rat signal is obviously not working, I can't believe I've missed so much exciting goings on.

Geek sorry about faulty pee sticks, I've not peed in a ramekin since my ivf cycle I think and have no pee sticks at home, I'm in awe of you stash! I agree you should be calling I think I would have rang quite a lotfew times already by now but then I'm a bit like that I think.

Well done indeed on the weight loss to MrCups. How are you doing Cups?

Beedle are you getting your head around everything now? When do you start on the drugs?

Lovely to see the oldies graduates around

Geek sorry to hear about your faulty stick this morning. I wonder if it is a new cycle pattern post op. I second keep and think you should chase up the letter in the post appointment

Smegs was it you who watched Broadchurch last night? OMG, What an excellent series, I loved it. What are we going to do on a Monday evening now?

Beedle I was weighed and measured prodded and poked at each different clinic, but DH never had to go through that humiliation

Cup well done to MrC for his weight loss, it can only be a good thing for baby making. Have you resigned yet?

Lovely to see Maybe back in our ample bosom

I poa2s this morning, 14 days past EC. It was darker on both IC and Superdrug. So I think I am officially PSEPP. OMG, OMG, OMG.

Oops ran away posted too soon - thanks everyone for being so sweet and lovely. I'm ok, just made the mistake this month of getting my hopes up. Things were definitely easier before the op when I had convinced myself we had no chance of a natural result.

I am rather pleased that I am not the only one who has POAS after AF though Smegs and Musical my lovelies you have a lot to answer for!

smegs You saying that has just reminded me. My local wetherspoons have been taking part in the world beer festival and had a beer on called Pounamu. Well I only went to the bar and asked for a poonami, didn't I

cups well done on MrCups' fitness drive! It's fab when our men join in.

beedle I am glad to hear that the weights and measures all went well. Nobody has suggested MrG get measured, is it just a Swedish thing do you think?

Sorry for lack of posts, laptop must be well and truly dead as we were expecting a call last night or this morning from the chap supposed to be fixing it and we still haven't heard anything. I am starting to get withdrawal symptoms!

geek sorry for the faulty pee sticks. I too have peed after AF... Have you phoned your consultant

Oh geek, that's rubbish that you got more crappy pee-sticks today too.

I shall brook quietly that your BFP comes along very, very soon, and that you too shall have a non-sleeping, teething, dribbling supplier of poonamis .

Morning, sorry I missed the PIAR, PAOS,PIACC party last night. I obviously didn't see the rat signal in time

Geek sorry about the faulty pee sticks. It's good news that AF only needed to visit you for a short time. She knows she won't be seeing you again for 9 months so she clearly decided to cut her losses and move on.

Sweetie have just seen your pee stick, that is a giant BFP!! How are you doing? Have you been in touch with the clinic yet?

Just a quick one from me as I'm off to work in 20 mins. I've made some banana & cinnamon muffins. So yummy & only 117 calories! MrCups is on a mega fitness drive, he has lost 15kg already. He is being very careful what he eats which is really testing my baking/cooking skills

Aw sorry geek

maybe!

Hello to all!

Back to the chimps tea party breakfast

That is some lovely optimism from you there Geek I am sorry that you didn't get the right result though.

Maybe don't you go anywhere, when you're off your brooking that's when you need us the most!!!

maybe it really is lovely to see you back ((hugs)) This is the second AF post-op. The first was horrendous. I'm hoping this is a sign of things to come - 28 day cycle, 3 day AF, I can live with that thank you very much!

Geek lovely, I'm so sorry. Is this the first AF post-operation womble overhaul?

Boo, Scarlett and I are single handedly saving the environment

Thanks for welcoming me back brookers. For that I shall lay out a breakfast buffet for you all

Sorry ladies, BFN. I must have the faultiest batch of pee sticks ever! On the positive side, AF has packed her bags and left after just three days - that is the shorted visit in the whole history of my relationship with her!

scarlett it's actually worse than that. Looking at the pee sticks that I'd peed on but that he thought someone else had, he said 'why doesn't she just use a better test?' Oh MrG you don't understand about hope

Thank you lovely ladies for your encouragement and support, and it's been good to see all of the post grads again and be reminded of your miracles. Musical I hadn't realised you also hade a fake AF, I think you had recently graduated when I joined the fred.

Gah! for faulty pee sticks, geek Brooking that tomorrow's will be functioning correctly.

I've just about recovered from tonight's episode of Broadchurch. Was absolutely destroyed for a while. Pulling myself together enough to do the dream feed and head to bed. So, er, see you all tomorrow morning!

Ha you laughed at my everlasting pee stick and then you go pretending your peed on pee stick belongs to someone else!!!
