Taking No Nonsense and Brooking No Argument We Get Our BFP's, with or without assistance!

6 is great solars well done you

Hope the meeting went OK geek
Despite my earlier agonising over whether or not to tell my boss, I have got this far without saying anything and just booking 3 days holiday for next week. My stabbing appointment I just said I had a doctor's appointment and took 2 hours flextime and on thurs my scan is at 9.15 so I'll just say that I'm coming in late.

We're well practised at our routines now

geek take it slowly and just tell the basic. only go as far as you are comfortable with. we are all human.

Solars that is great news. 6 is the magic number

go MrS and his super swimmers

Well done solars you have most definitely earned a lie down and a snooze. Brooking like crazy that your golden girls and MrS's sexy swimmers boogie the night away.

sparks I really had to laugh - splats?!

Arghh got myself stupidly wound up - got a meeting with dink boss in 10 minutes to go through possible schedule of events and requirements for time off.

Oh what fantastic news solars!! Well done.

kitty does doing iui delay any ivf or are you just able to do it while waiting? Have they ever found any issues?

I think she was in for 6.30 or so, so should be done now. It's over to MrSolars to do his bit now... Go mrS go!!

Good luck Solars :)

Solars good luck for ec. what time are you having it done?
brooking that there are loads of lovely golden eggs ripe for collection

Thanks guys. I'm just trying to work out whether I'm wasting my time waiting for iui, especially given what the new nice guidelines say. Just don't want to kick off and then not get either! X

Good luck with the first jab maybe

And good luck for egg collection solars

I did five tests and two blood tests...

kitty we were unexplained, though borderline sperm at the start. The NHS sent us on our way saying we could try iui and ivf, but wouldn't get ivf through them until 3 years. They didnt fund iui in our pct. As you know we are private out here, so decided to do 3xIUI then moved to ivf.

Good luck solars!!! X

Hi sorry to have been a bad brooker lately. This will have to be a super duper quick message as I've got a really early start tomorrow.

I wanted to pop by to say good luck for tomorrow Solars ill be brooking all goes well.

Well done on the stabbing Beedle and Geek
I can't believe that about the menopur!

Maybe good luck for starting, it's so exciting. Have a lovely time in Italy.

Keep what wonderful news. I'm so happy to hear Kip is doing well

Kitty we are unexplained. We have been ttc for 33 cycles (I've just counted it, so bloody depressing) so far we have been offered nothing except IVF . No clomid or IUI, the specialists we have seen have said they don't think either would work for us. We have not been giving reasons why, I think it's mainly due to the consultants own preference on treatment. We were referred for IVF in sept/oct time. We first sought help in sept 2011. I don't know if that is of any help to you or not.

kitty I think if we had undergone investigations within a couple of years of starting to TTC we would have been diagnosed with unexplained but we'll never know. As it is, I had a rake of work done to sort out potential causes a couple of months ago. MrG has known swimmer issues caused by his diabetes (so not a factor back when we started) so it's ICSI or nothing for us. We started considering seeking help after TTC for about 10 years. Because male factor was identified early on, we weren't recommended to go down the IUI route, or even bog standard IVF. Sorry, that's really not much help to you, is it

boo thank you m'dear I had another first today - stabbing myself in a public toilet. I felt like a bit of a junkie

little I well remember tripe whammy friday, and your +OPK the day before. I'd forgotten you needed to pot up your pee so you could get your sticks

rubber hope you had a fab holiday!

If you get a chance to, I highly recommend going to see 'Epic' in 3D - just amazing!!!

Maybe where is Italy are you?

Question to the ivf-ers, have any of you been diagnosed with 'unexplained'? How long we're you ttc before you considered ivf? Did any of you try iui first? Thanks guys

I only did one test too --one every day for 2 weeks-

Geek I missed saying woo hoo well done on your first jab, are they going well? Are you still on the metformin?

Rubber hope you and the family are having a good time :)

Everyone else, I can't keep up with all the jabbing, sniffing and appointments, you're all doing brilliant! I can't wait for all the BFP's :):):)

You have fallen off my tio list so just a quickie from me no not that kind you filthy minded people to mark my place.

Brooking for you all from a bus in Manchester on the last day of our holiday

Geek & Beedle, I know, in a freak, I only did one test this time! It was very unlike me too, as I did loads with dd and pg that didn't work out.
This time round though, I tested about four days early, as I was already having symptoms, and the like came up as strong and dark as the control line immediately. I just felt very pregnant, and didn't feel the urge to test.
( but if it makes you feel better, I had tested with a opk the night before, as I didn't have any hpts in the house. I only bought the frers as I got a positive with the opk! In fact, I think it was you geek, who told me to save my fmu the next day till I could get to a shop )

I think I'm going to assume that little did a whole load of Cb digital tests with the week indicator and never felt the need to use the other FRER. Or maybe after she'd used 15 FRER she didn't need to use that last remaining one :o Cos no-one just does one test do they?

Now you can feel better geek :o :o

Joins beedle in staring at little looking like you have to be kidding...?

yay beedle, Old Ladies' Wee rocks! Brooking that as you're reducing your stims you're going to get a great crop of golden eggs.

maybe have a faaaaabulous time in Italy, don't forget to come back with a proper Italian silk MN scarf :) Good luck for Tuesday's injection (and all of the following ones, of course). Maybe my clinic will be doing bloods, but didn't want to tell me because my face was a picture when I saw the injection needle

well I must be responding Ok as I need to reduce my dose of old ladies wee to 225 and go in for a scan on Thurs am :o :o Looking good for EC next monday i think.
