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

Oh Cups. That phrase is the worst. I was going to suggest chickpeas too. And beans of all varieties. And lentils. Are you a fan of yoghurt? Green and blacks is the best I think you can buy in a supermarket! And not too sweet.

Geek that sounds like a plan. Why are you convinced the problem lies with you? There is not always a rhyme or reason.

Solars I would thoroughly recommend it. I had an amazing time

AIBU to be annoyed with MrM? He promised me before i started treatment that he would help out so much more. In th last 3 and a half weeks he has cooked dinner once and run the Hoover round. I'm so tired and the headaches are ramping up. It will not be much longer before I go on strike

I love hummus so ill have that every day! I'll live off turkey/chicken,eggs, milk and hummus Maybe I've never tried green and blacks, is it really good? My fave is twinning swiss hot chocolate.

Boo I really hope K is alright, brooking you get that drs appointment quickly.

Geek that sounds like a great plan, I'm brooking you don't need it though.

Well I'm going to be an Aunty again as I expected. It was of course a surprise and not planned as if that makes me feel better. I managed not to throw my iPad out of the window. Luckily it was just my brother on Skype so I didn't have to act all excited.

oh boo that must be very worrying. I hope she gets seen soon, and sorted out quickly.

maybe that sounds like a fantastic way to get your milk quota

Our plans are currently running in the following order:

• get ourselves over this cycle
• pay privately to get my immunes/NK cells tested because I am convinced there is something going on that hasn't yet been identified, given how long we have been at this game with not even a sniff of a BFP
• have our final NHS shot at ICSI (with or without removing fibriod, we are happy to be led by the consultant on this)
• Save like fury for a single private attempt with donor eggs as I am convinced the problem mostly lies with me, despite MF being identified. I feel when they saw that, they basically stopped looking into anything further. Depending on how long this takes to save for, though, we may be looking at donor eggs & donor sperm which is a whole separate ball game that we are not yet willing to start considering.

Sorry for still being very mememe. I'll be back in the swing of it soon.

Oh Boo what's up with K? Hope you are the dr soon.

Geek so good to have you back. I annoy believe it waxed Percy [watery eyes]. What plans are you making

Cups I've been drinking my milk with green and blacks hot choc in it. Nom.

Solars we went there last year too!! Amazing. I've been to his cookery school too. It was immense!!

Sparks love curry sounds like jut the sort of thing you should be trying right now.......

Waxing Percy X-0 why?????? Glad your Brooking spirit is coming back, wouldn't be the same here without you xx

Brooking for everyone here, sorry no name check, K is poorly :( waiting for a Dr appointment.

cups I wasn't told to take in plenty of protein at all, but I drank a litre of milk a day because I had heard on here that it had been recommended by other clinics. I can't stand the taste of full fat or semi, so I drank skimmed with nesquik each day. I did try to have at least two litres of water/other drinks as well though.

Slowly getting back in the brooking spirit here. I know it's game over for us this cycle, but MrG and I have started talking plans which always makes me feel better.

In other news, Percy just got his first (and hopefully last) waxing.

Completely forgot to say yay on the follies!

Just popping in to see how Geek and Beedle are doing. Thinking of you both.

Maybe I have no idea how I'm going to manage to get enough protein. I'll have to eat chicken every night! I don't really like milk, does it have to be full fat? I was allergic to cows milk as a baby and I've never really liked the taste even though I can drink it now. Do you think it will still do the job if I mix it with nesquik?! I'm allergic to nuts and I hate seafood. So I'm a bit stuck, any other good foods I can eat?

I'm waiting for my brother to Skype, he really needs to talk to me apparently. I'm sure it will be a pg announcement

Ooh, I love that book Solars! I have made quite a few from that book. But I just love Rick

I lost my mojo for a bit Keep but I'm back on it now! Berm making lots of different breads, and I made some amazing cinnamon pecan swirls last week. I may well back today! Im making some naans to go with dinner too

Ooh that sounds delicious!! Do you still bake lots too maybe?

You know you want to

Thanks Keep. They've got me down for 12 days of stimms, so hopefully will fly by!

Love curry I meant clove!

It is indeed! A beautiful book and an amazing first program! I've already made a lamb, cardamom and love curry, pilau rice and chapatis!

I think I read 60g a day. I had protein powder in milk as I don't think I was getting enough otherwise. Good luck, I think its easier and faster once you start stimming.

Thanks Solars. I love avocados, so that'll do me! MrM bought me the new Rick Stein book the other day, so I am armed with lots of exciting recipes
