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

I think that sounds perfect. A couple of days after ET.

keep i was off far too long last time. so this time have booked Friday and Monday off with lite touch working from home the rest of next week. I have quite a stressful job made worse at the moment by a couple of new starters and my boss being off. I am not sure about the impact of stress when embies go back but it is a fine line between work stress and ivf mental stress. Where is that wet fish?

Sweetie maybe using that camera let's them choose the best ones by day 3, so best to get them back in. Wowee!!! Are you ok? Are you working most of the time this time? Know you were a bit stir crazy last time.

Ooh I am so excited for you Sweetie, I will try not to spare a thought for Mr s tomorrow, don't want to put him off

Yep booby is being evicted, they estimate birth weight at 38 weeks to be 8lb+ because of the gd, so they don't want me staying pregnant for too long. I'm at the clinic Monday I will be 37+3 weeks and they are going to try a stretch and sweep to start things off, if that doesn't shift it then I'm in the following week for a proper induction [eek]

Boo posted before I meant to then.

So eviction timetable does that mean it will be a forced eviction for poor booby? It is Very Very exciting times. Another Brooking baby soon to arrive.

MrS has to go tomorrow 10am to do his bit, fresh. He is really looking for forward to it NOT then I should get a call in the afternoon to let me know the grand total of eggs. I have to start on the progesterone bullets tomorrow afternoon too, 2pm sharp. Apparently this mimics the embie fertilisation so have to be very specific in timings. Then Wed a call to tell me embie count.

Wow Sweetie has Mr S made his donation to the process or do they do they use a fresh sample from him when the ec takes place? Sorry I'm full of questions about the processes.

Booby seems quite comfortable and happy at the moment. We should get the eviction timetable when we go back to the clinic next Monday :) tis very exciting, I absolutely can't wait to find out the sex of this chunky monkey I think it's a boy though :):)

Can not believe AF has struck down so many Grads in one go. At least she is busy with you guys she can not darken our doors.

Cup as keep says everyone mentals about those sort of things. I think the first found of IVF is more fact finding so they know what is going on. I still think it is a very black art as all patients seems to react so different to the treatment, the meds and everything. Just take it in small steps and try not to look too far ahead, just concentrate on the bit you are doing at that time. We are always on stand by with the Brooking wet fish.

Boo clinic are gearing us up for a day 3 transfer on Fri but I was hoping to go to day 5 so we get the best possible chance. I think the fewer embies you get the sooner clinics like to put them back. They are worried the longer they grow them the higher risk of losing them and I suppose the fewer you have to start with the risk is that they will lose them all. We will just have to see how we get on later in the week. Plus we are using the embryoscope to monitor our embies 24 hours a day so hopefully this will give the embryologists the best possible knowledge what they are doing. It is all a waiting game.

So Boo how is booby? not long now until your sneeze. Can not wait to hear what flavour you get. I luffs a surprise.

So AF is busy busy busy with the post grads eh?? I will clear off a few more spaces on grads then

Sweetie ec tomorrow, that's fabulous!! When is transfer day??

Good morning all other brookers, hope m8 are all well, booking super hard for appointments and treatments so start immediately while AF is looking the other way

Good work, postgrads!

Right, AF is with me too, so I expect this means we are on for another tripe whammy any day now...

cup everyone mental about all those things... Does it help to maybe hope ivf might identify the issue even if not successful first time? I think you're unexplained like us, which is frustrating. I think you'll feel better once you start, and then can just focus on one step at a time. But I am brooking massively that you'll get that miracle. It does happen!

Also, just re ohss, if you do get it, which you won't, it tends to come after egg collection, so you can still make embys, they'd just 'freeze all', so it's not like the cycle's wasted.

Glad everyone's enjoying my research :)

sweetie EC tomorrow!! Am so excited for you!

Well done on the sff and swi Sweetie and Geek

I just bought the book today from eBay so it will be a while before it gets here. I'm driving myself crazy that I'll get OHSS, or we won't get any eggs or they won't fertilise and a million other crazy thoughts. I've been consulting Dr Google stupidly so I thought reading up on it properly would be more sensible maybe I need a slap with that fish!

Olives and DinoBart sorry AF is visiting, AF is not due for me in about 5 days. Maybe if she's stuck with you guys I could get a miracle BFP. I've just booked a spa day for may so it would be terrible timing as I wouldn't be able to have the treatments I've booked

Olives sorry to hear you are sharing AF with Dino not good for you guys so soon after your LOs arrivals. At least it means some of us might get ours BFPs while she is busy

Geek you work those undies lovely, MrG won't know what is going on. Be careful you don't put his back out again

Cup any questions we Brookers could help you with?

We managed a bit of SFF yesterday afternoon. I told DH about your research Keep too, he seemed interested so we may be on for more at the end of the week

Hehe good old seduction!! Love it when does the monitor think O day is now??

Haha! He could not resist... unfortunately CBFM decided today is not my peak after all Still, two more new sets of undies to entice him with

olives sorry to hear you've been saddled with AF. It is very gracious of you to keep her entertained so that an undergrad can slip in a BFP!

cup how are you finding the book? Is it answering your questions?

AF is with me today ladies (not fair! )- but looking on the bright side that means theres now 2 grads keeping her busy so Im sure there's 2 bfps just round the corner!

Hope you got lucky last night Geek

Keep that article is quite interesting, I might get DH to read it. He's a bit of a science geek so I think he'll enjoy it more than all the other IVF stuff I've made him read. Plus it means more sff

I have bought the zita west book on assisted conception, I figure I better seriously start getting ready plus I'm still a bit confused about some aspects of assisted conception.

Ooh good luck Geek I'm sure whatever you have planned he will not be able to resist bad back or not!!

Fingers crossed this is the last one for a good few months, boo. At least I was able to leave the office just after lunchtime and do the rest from home. Just a case of checking in every so often now to see when a job has finished, so nothing too taxing.

MrG is currently sleeping off his codeine so I went out and bought something new to try and entice him into the bedroom later Looks like I'll be getting my CBFM peak tomorrow so it's definitely worth a shot!

Ooh, AF is with a grad :):) that is very exciting, Jen had mine for me

Sweetie it looks like a bit of sff is a very good idea!

Geek hope you don't have to work too hard on too many weekends!

Esp as you won't have had egg collection, sweetie, so no chance of infection!

Well, there's no harm in trying, its quite a nice one esp as we were then told no dtd... I wouldn't have thought it'd be too hard to persuade dh!

snores if you're anything like Jen.... ;)

keep I hadn't heard that a sly SFF before ET would be a good thing. I will see if I can encourage DH on Thursday. I still have to get things going in that department this afternoon

Bartlett / Dino so sorry that AF has come to visit so soon after DD2 arrival that is just unfair, but I sort of hope that means she wont be visiting any of us for a VERY long time
